  1. It would be great to have just a little insight. I really hope it is that it is casual players letting teams down, and not actual code that counts up the amount of members in a team, divides by the number of games played, and consequently punishes those with a poor showing. Nah, surely not?? That'd be pretty punitive. I wonder about the faerieland thing though, isn't the "a lot of kids join that team then don't play" thing a bit of a long-standing tale that's maybe no longer accurate? I see a few people say it but there really aren't many kids on Neo now. Ok, I'm gonna do some researching using the Money Tree! So out of 20 people on one page of the Money Tree: 14 didn't sign up - 7 of which are brand new accounts - those with older accounts have never competed. apart from one who joined LD in 2011, clearly hated it and has never joined up again since, lol. Out of the rest:- Maraqua: signed up but didn't compete - 4 month old account Roo Island: Rank 1 - 18 yr. old account Darigan Citadel: signed up but didn't compete - 3 month old account Meridell: Rank 5 - 15 yr.old account Kiko Lake: Rank Beginner - has played in 8 ACs but only to get participation trophy Huh. I realise the Money Tree wasn't a good place to find people for this, as most of the people who give to it are new players who've not yet learnt the all-important Neopian mantra of HOARD ALL THE THINGS. xD Nice to see all those new accounts though! *tries Kadoatery instead* Alrighty then! Out of 20 Kadders, with join year 3 didn't sign up: 1 joined 2006 and has only played once and didn't do much, one's a brand new account but old player, last has played in 6 previously but only got participation medals. The rest:- Krawk Island: All-star(2008); beginner(2005); beginner(2011); Darigan Citadel: All-star(2010); rank 1(2009); All-star(2005) ; All-star(2005); Beginner(2004 - joined every year just for participation medal) ; All-star(2018) Terror Mountain: All-star(2005) Shenkuu: All-star(2009)(also, my friend Aya ) Maraqua: All-star(2006) Roo Island: Rank 12(2005) Meridell: All-star(2010); All-star(2005) Brightvale: All-star(2005) Roo Island: All-star(April 2020) That's quite telling, isn't it! Out of 20 people DC has the lion's share, that's interesting. I know it's way too small a group of people to be able to draw any proper conclusions. But one thing REALLY stands out. People who are into the AC work hard for their team, look at all those AS ranks! I admit Kadders are maybe also liable to be a little on the obsessive side? So AS ranking kind of to be expected? If doing this wasn't so flippin' time-consuming I'd go through things like the Wishing Well and Lottery winners too.

    I think large teams are both a bonus and a minus - size of team does seem to matter, think of Moltara. However, with a larger team also comes a larger amount of players who join a team and don't play the games - think Faerieland. So Kiko Lake is a relatively small team with a dedicated fan base, whereas Faerieland is a large team with a lot of casual players. But yes, clarity would be good!

    Happy Acara Day!

    That is a very cute outfit! The paint brush is... I don't know how to feel about it tbh. I really like how the brush strokes look like fur. I want to stroke that fluffy knee! The highlighting's been done very nicely. I love that the eyes are a complimentary contrasting shade. I think I'm just feeling the general "too muchness" created by the white background. Customised I feel this will look quite amazing!

    Back after a Hiatus

    Heya! I recently came back to Neopets too after a looooong absence. I started playing in my teens as well, I'm impressed the site is still active! I'm a member of the Elite Neopians Guild which has over 1000 members, however I went back to visit the guild when I relogged in and it's pretty quiet on there I've got to say. I had a look at the other guilds in the "games cupboard" section and most of them that I could see didn't really have that many members. I did a search for the Elite Neopians Guild and I couldn't find it, even though when I clicked "My Guild" it took me to it. Now, like Lit I've been away for ages and boy do I have questions. There seems to be all kinds of changes and some things just plain aren't working any more. I guess my biggest question at the moment is, what's up with the guilds?

    Do you mean how much the items sell for? https://items.jellyneo.net/ has rough estimates based on past sales, but it's always best to check what things are currently selling for on the Trading Post, assuming there are any for sale.

    Someday...

    I keep my acara, Disorder__36, painted candy because I like how it looks texture and colorwise. I hope that someday I will be able to see her smile in the right place. Will the glitch ever be fixed, I wonder? edit- I only just realized yesterday that she has blue hearts on her horns and skin. It took putting a bow that also had hearts for me to notice.
