I never managed to enter in the end. ;___; I was trying for a SpongeBob entry too, so kudos to entry four for succeeding with that! We'd have ended up with a SpongeBob-off!

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: Dynamic Duos Description: You'll have to create 2 entries this time: one for each half of a famous duo. They can be partners, friends, a couple.. They can be fictional, or real people. I'm not picky. Just two people (or puppets, or creatures, or... whatever) that work well together - and are specifically known to work as a duo/couple.* Preferably somewhat well-known (or at least easy to Google). Entering period: Monday, September 13 - Sunday, September 26 Voting period: Monday, September 27 - Sunday, October 3 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. (Still worth checking out, as it'll be bigger than the one in the thread, so you'll be able to see more details on it.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting is now officially closed!

omg each has one vote right now lololol and I voted for 2!

Those are all amazing entries ! I have a favorite one but I won't declare it 'til the end

Just read this on board 7: your go-to place on Neopets for conspiracies. This conversation also highlights why I remain firmly in the safe haven of the Shenkuu board but that's beside the point! x'D The idea that Alice W, Tony P and (shudders) Rico S aren't actually real people just hadn't occurred to me, but it does make a huge amount of sense, because as is pointed out up there, why would the same 3 people have the same dismal job for over 10 years? And while the comment about wildly differing responses from the same person does ring true, there's also distinct traits that we've come to expect from the support people: Alice = nice Tony = ??? kinda meh? Rico = horribly unhelpful Makes me wonder if whoever's drawn the short straw and is doing support today chooses who they respond as depending on their mood. Happy support person! - respond as Alice Feeling blah, kinda wishing they'd called in sick - Respond as Tony Get outta my face! - response as Rico The snark from the person who's glad Rico is still with us is tangible. I remember my sole interaction with him, my disbelief as how dismissive he was, and @Angeló The Enabler's reaction when I talked to him about it... hahaha. But yeah, am I daft for not realising long ago that these are just names that people hide behind? Or do you feel these are genuine people? More importantly, have you ever had a good experience with "Rico"?

Pastel

The Pastel color is pretty! It's very simple, and it could be improved a bit in my opinion, but it could go very well with many outfits! And the Bank Manager outfit is perfect, looks very neat! While I'm not a huge fan of Skeiths, this was a good day for them!

Hahaha, the bank manager. xD Pastel's a bit wishy-washy and meh though. Purple outline... it's better than the pale grey one used for previous pastel pets, they semi-learnt one of the lessons that the Kyrii tried to teach them about contrast. Maybe it still looks a bit disappointing because there's such a wide expanse of just one colour.

And yep, immediately we're gaining again! The ray is fired at domaniala... ... and she gains two levels!!! But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something.

Next conspiracy theory: Tony P, Rico S, and Alice W actually predate Neopets! You know, like when you discover your town was built on the ruins of a previous civilisation or something... they were there already... someone needs to carbon-date them. Now I'm imagining Rico as a grouchy old git, full on cane-wavin' get off my lawn, and Alice is a stereotypical sweet-natured granny. Not sure where Tony fits into this scenario. xD This does have so much appeal. Initially I'm sat here thinking getting Rico would be like some punishment detail; then I thought wait a minute! Maybe people fight over getting to answer as Rico! Along the same lines as my initial thought of people responding as Rico when they're having a bad day. @iheartsakuI meanwhile have been here the whole time, and I'm just as confused.

Ah, Board 7, always good for: So, weren't Tony P, Rico S, and Alice W there when Neopets was owned by Viacom, and, before that, Adam & Donna? If so, seems they weren't part of the "Jump Start" lay-offs. But, yeah, it's like when contacting a telephone operator, they identify themselves as "Operator 20", or "Operator 13". In this case, it's "Tony P", or "Alice W". And, it reminds me of Internet ads, or, rather testimonials - "Best website, ever! - Tony P". They always mention first name, and last initial. I wonder if it is scripted. "Ok, John Doe. Welcome to your first day at Neopets Support. Today, you'll be playing the part of Rico S. A very strict customer support technician, who always says no first, and doesn't ask questions, later. Copy & paste these responses from here. Got it? Tomorrow, you'll get to be Alice W, who is a lot nicer."

I didn`t enter this round, but super happy to see these fun and creative entries! Good luck to everyone!
