Thanks! I played one previous AC seriously and reached rank 17 in total - I just checked the stats on it on a rank calculator and it would have got me All Star this year!! I'll see how far I get with it! I'd like to at least hit All-Star, particularly as the ranks are easier to progress through. And yes, at least you can continue to earn prize points at the same time as helping your team out once All-Star has been achieved!! I got taken by surprise this year as I was definitely expecting the cap to be higher than 46! Says how long I've been inactive really!!

I'm gonna have to pay full price for my stocks. Also, I've lost 10k from my bank interest. #neopianworldproblems But yeah, so long CC perks, it was great while it lasted! I wonder if the particularly vociferous CC-haters on the boards will be piping down now... because I suspect that despite their very vocal disdaining of CC, they all have these two big perks! I'm very much hoping CC will be along after the AC. As the summer's pretty open for events it seems reasonable to hope for CC during July? As it's an event that basically needs 13 months for the event to run and then for the perks to expire it happening soon after the AC will set it up for a schedule for the next three years maybe, until it's butting up against Hallowe'en and then it'd need to jump to Spring again I suppose. This is all pie in the sky ofc, it might not happen at all! I'm a strong believer in the power of wishful thinking though. I enjoy CC, and I suppose my entire Neopian behaviour revolves around prepararion for it to a certain extent, I spend the entire year doing my Dailies with Intent; the items I collect from the Money Tree are all r80+ to be saved for CC, and I buy Sticky Snowballs from the Healing Springs throughout the day. No other spending than those 25 NPs for those though. I taught myself the Money Tree items (pretty proud of my MS-addled brain for managing it, but, you know, repetition and all that, basic learning technique). I saved them in JN wish lists until I knew them. Obsessive, much? xD I'll share the link to my list once JN's stopped being broken, so anyone else who wants to be as obsessive of me can be! >8D As an aside, how are the smilies behaving for you? You'll notice I used the neopets ones as the forum ones - apart from having reverted to a much earlier version which is neither here nor there - are taking about a year to load lately so I gave up trying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

15-0 and a roomba loaded with kittens is still a big deal tho

I assume so? It's relatively young and not a super popular land. I know we got 3rd place one of the years I played, but I'm pretty sure there must have been a cheater team backing Moltara that year. In other news I think this is my best score this season. I'd like to get a 16 point game but I always seem to get one ball that takes ages to get back from the other team.

I like to think that, too, but it's not certain, and I just don't know. If TNT would add that, then I'd feel a little bit better. Still, don't like the little guy/gal exploding. I wonder if we could get the PPL involved?! However, they have THE BEST after-score animation, as they do "the robot". Always makes me laugh!

Good for you with sticking with Moltara. I've said elsewhere that I assume Moltara has a smaller amount of people who play for it as it's the youngest team, isn't it? So it's always at a disadvantage. Am I right in thinking that? While I'd absolutely NOT want the system to change so there was an even number of players in each team, thus forcing some people into a different one to that which they had an allegiance with, I do wish there was a way for the teams with less players to legitimately gain more. *ponders* something like a transfer fee? a nice NP bonus for signing up to the under-dog? There's plenty of people who don't play for the same team every year. My goal for today is to find some motivation, I seem to have misplaced it. Also SK is playing BV today and I'm struggling with the two big guys, my brain can't tell the difference between them and wastes a lot of available processing space being confused.

They don't. These are the only two games I play during the AC and I've never been bothered by them pesky Captchas.

i totally get it. When i first tried the Altador Cup, i almost went with Faerieland, but decided on Terror Mountain only because A) I'm a water sign and like ice spells in video games and B )it was the only team with an Aisha, my favorite breed, as captain. I've stuck with them every year since, through the down times and up times. The only scenario where i'd consider switching teams is if Prytariel were traded or just left the game entirely. As an aside, a couple months ago, i FINALLY caught the magma pool guard napping and turned my Ixi magma! I've been trying for that for a looooong time lol. And then a month ago, i got a rainbow pool faerie quest (or i think she granted me a wish in place of the grey faerie) and i turned my Kougra into its candy form. I've pretty much got my dream team (Magma Ixi, Eventide Aisha, Mutant Poogle, Candy Kougra), but i need to get my Lenny and Quiggle sorted out. I'm thinking a Steampunk Lenny and a Burlap Quiggle, if possible. But i've strayed off topic....lol

Lucky? Seemed like it initially. But wait, what is this... CC perks have expired: lost 10k from my bank interest; gotta pay full whack for my stocks - suddenly seems somewhat suspicious that Sloth was lurking on the bargain stocks page!

I wonder if that rubbish NT guy Aesop is gonna be playing.

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, awesome As for me... The ray is fired at Critoh... ... and she changes into a Yellow Kiko!! No thanks Critoh licks their lips and says mmmmm before turning into a Red Poogle!!!

And you too! I had quite a few stinker games yesterday with multiple faerie and darigan balls!! But my stinker games tend to be 4-5 goals rather than 11-12!! But thanks! I know when I first played YYB yonks ago, I struggled to score at all, so I've definitely improved!! Hah, I'm exceptionally lucky to get 12 goals in one game if I'm honest. I'll send a win, any win!! But yes, I've seen about not playing on Jelly days. Hopefully they will coincide with the weekend and I'll get to do other things instead! You've got to be a Moltara fan then?! I'm thinking of writing a NT article from the perspective of the team... but as I got an article in last NT, I doubt I'd be successful two in a row or even close to that! I've maxed YYB three days and SOSD two days. Just starting todays run!

today's zaps: The ray is fired at Movario... ... and he goes down to level 1 The ray is fired at Jepire... ... and he gains 5 maximum hit points!!!!

One thing I forgot, as, or AFTER you shoot the Yooyu at the net, and the primary team member switches to another, for some unknown reason, but that new, generally further-away team member GRABS the power-up that you were saving for the non-normal Yooyu, wasting it completely before the non-normal Yooyu even shows up! I managed 44 games yesterday and for awhile that was happening in MANY of those games. VERY frustrating!
