Only 100 points away from All-star. Good thing too since I'll be busy starting around dinnertime today until past the end of AC (siblings coming over then a car trip). Last year i depended almost entirely on SOSD so i had to max it out every day of the event and only reached all-star at the end. This year I have 100 games of YYB so far. I'll reach it today and get as far as i can.

It's time to vote for your favourite entries again! Important note: Voting for yourself is NOT allowed. Doing so will result in disqualification. Please double check your votes before submitting them, to avoid mistakes, because they can't be changed afterwards. Current theme: Sports Description: Dress up any pet with items related to real world sports. Not all of them appear to exist in Neopia though, as I couldn't find items for quite a few famous sports, but for some sports (like tennis, swimming, kung fu, and I'm sure there are more) you can find items to use. You could also go for sport-related things, like training, referees, or winning a competition. (Just not the Altador Cup, or other Neopian sporting events. ) Entering period: Monday, June 14- Sunday, June 20 27 Voting period: Monday, June 21 28 - Sunday, June 27 July 4 Be sure to check out the links to the animated entries, although with Flash gone (and pre-HTML5 conversion) you'll only be able to see the still image.

Most only see the Marching Band as just the halftime entertainment. But definition of a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another. Haiilys can tell you of the many hours of blood, sweat and tears that went into learning his roll in the moving pattern, memorizing the music, staying in step and many other things that go into a routine. Then spending Saturdays at competitions in hopes of getting a high enough score/placing to go to Regionals, then State, then to Nationals. If you dont think marching band has enough physical exertion, then try playing any other sport, but only be able to take in a breath 10% of the time. We can't stop playing the music for little thing like needing to breathe. Haiilys doesn't mean to lessen others hard work in their sports. He and his band mates just want to be recognize has more than just the entertainment.

Did it! Here's a screenshot of my spreadsheet as of the final point. Of course, I'm continuing as much as i can.

Into rank 18 this morning after getting up early to finish maxing YYB before the new day started; if I can max today too I'll rank up twice in one day, fingers crossed I can do it!

I want to get to Rank 9. I don't know if I can do it especially with having to work 24hr Thursday But I will try for sure

Which faction are you joining for the 215th round? So, vote! Good luck! You must win in 10 battles each round in order to win the boons Sorry I was so late!

Steampunk

I have a dip in the pool from a quest I completed. I really have no desire to change any pets I have. Does anyone have a dream pet that they haven't been able to get? I could create a pet with whatever name you like and if the color is available in the dipping pool I would be happy to make it that color for you. If this is something someone may be interested in please go to the pool and see if what you want is available. I hope there is someone that I can help with this. Is there no one that I can give this dip too? I just got another request from the Fountain Faerie and I will lose the one I offered if I don't use it since I can't stack them. Of course this would mean I can help out 2 members if anyone is interested. OK, I just used 1 of the dips to create a pet for another member so I have 1 dip left. Any takers? My guild said they may need a pet for lending so I may have a good lead there. When I use this last dip I will post that it no longer available.

You can do it! Keep trying! One game at a time! You are so close you can almost touch it! 10 games of YYB is about 15 minutes worth! Go go go!!! I reached Rank 28 today. On route to double All Star at Rank 30!

Made Rank 16 today. I'm not sure what my chances are of scraping through to All-Star, especially since I'm going to be gone on Friday... but I'm gonna keep fighting for it.

I appreciate the encouragement! I'm honestly not expecting to get beyond the shiny butter shield though. I'm not intending to give up, but I'm not going to push myself if I'm doing badly, I'll just see how things go.
