I want to get this outfit for my Grey Acara .. maybe she'll cheer up a little bit Also wish it can be worn by Maraquan Acaras .. it would fit them since theyre like an Octopus

I absolutely loved your research, @jellysundae! I kinda like to think that younger players are there, but not where we see them: neoboards, off-site forums, etc. I think back to when I started playing: it took me YEARS to first adventure to the boards. All I used to do was play games (badly) :P not that i am any better at games now

True!! I use to have a limit of only x members in a guild in order for me to join just for those reasons but I am happy at my new "home". My neopets userlookup should be showing. If you do decide to join or even if you don't feel free to say Hi!! Goodluck!

Oil Paint looks beautiful, I love how the paint follows the lines and shapes of the body. I also love the eyes. The mermaid outfit is really cute, I just wish they had chosen a different colour for the wig. Yeah, I get the ocean reference like seaweed, but green hair is so offputting for me.

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.

Any hints or predictions on who will win this round? Ps. this is my first time creating a poll here, do correct me if I have done sth wrong

Aw, lol. I don't suppose they'll hurt you down or anything though, they seem very nice! ^_^;; ************************** And that, there, is what I thought I'd posted yesterday xD TDN showed me I wasn't imagining it, at least xD Though it may also be acting all parental... You know how when, as a kid, you forgot something important after repeatedly promising that you'd remember. Went running back for it and your mum's stood there holding it out, one hand on her hip and a expression on her face. Yeah that's what TDN's doing to me right now. Popular choice on here right now seems to be Seekers though! I can see why too, so I'll go for them as well.

a part of me keeps thinking that's the point. like, if people knew exactly how scoring works, they'd have better knowledge of how to tweak it. Although i can hear an argument for why NO ONE knowing how exactly it works is unfair.
