Crystalline

Yay!! I picked Team Moon. I couldn't have picked team sun...that wouldn't have made any sense!

New shields are making their way around Neopia! How old is your account?
 

It must be a new addition, but I just noticed that a pet's lookup now includes the date they were created. That's kinda cool, I know I was always too lazy to figure out what day my neopet's birthdays were!

Plus it just looks super creepy, especially without the rest of the face....

LDSC at 85 now. Not sure if it went any higher earlier, but I just sold the rest of my shares.

O, this reminds me about my Booktastic book badge, I only need 8 more books worth 300k+ so when I'm willing to dish out 2.1mil+ I can have a flimsy cardboard card on my pet's page. This is kind of like a trophy.
 
But if have a freebies to add to my account, the trophies I would want the most would be the stamp and avatar trophies. Because these would imply that I have enough money and skills to get these. So for now, I'll take what I can.

LDSC up to 81! I sold all of my shares- I don't trust it to not fall soon!
 
Summary : You had 5322 NP. After 7 successful transactions, you have 572302.

This IS 100% considered scamming. It has been in the editorial many times. They tried to trick you, and it worked. You don't even need to recall their username if you do not have it. TNT will track them down through trading history if you report the instance.
 
There is absolutely no such thing as "TP sniping" in these scenarios. That's just what scammers try to claim to make themselves feel better.
 
The specific fact that they offered the exact number (570) without the few extra hundred thousand nps onto it, confirms it was them attempting to be malicious and "trick" her out of her requested bid, either by misreading the offer, or misclicking the request. That is, and will always be, against the rules.
 

This is actually considered scamming by TNT and is a reportable offense.

Unfortunately, the bracket system is supposed to be "random." But when you have 2 and 3 teams who are constantly in the same bracket or, moreso, 2 teams consistently in the same bracket but never playing each other, it starts to seem a little fishy. Maybe we're all conspiracy theorists and the brackets so far are purely coincidence due to the random nature (small chances, but not impossible), or maybe they are a little less random than TNT claims they are.
 
I can understand why so little information (read: next to none) about the brackets and the scoring can be publicly released, though. If we knew the exact algorithms and methods by which things were done, it would only be a matter of time before people found ways to exploit them, both by tailoring legitimate methods of playing, as well as not-so-legitimate methods. I really just wish the tournament would go back to the round robin style. I think being able to play every team the same amount of times would provide much clearer, more accurate standings than this mish-mosh of a bracket system.

TNT is giving RI and KI having to be with AL and TY the whole cup. MD gets the easy way finish by getting all the easy brackets.

In the spirit of the AC, I have a Yooyu for sale!

I'm usually not bothered by TNT's rules, but that's kind of stiff. Sorry it happened to you. At least you know now. I remember I was at a group event irl wearing a sign that said "free hugs" and was stopped by security for "advertising". I was wearing a mascot costume, so of course I'm gonna give hugs to the kids and kids at heart.

Besides, I think some teams, such as the Sway and the Awakened, are more polarizing than others (the Seekers, too, for that matter) -- you either like them or you don't. The Brute Squad has the Princess Bride reference, which is all kinds of awesome, especially to those of us who grew up with that movie as one of their favorites, plus it has its altruistic goal (according to the Neopedia -- which could earn respect from peace-loving Neopians), plus it appeals to warriors (as does this skirmishing). Even if it wasn't most people's first (or second) choices, many are on their 3rd or 4th choices by now. The Brute Squad was definitely in my top 4 (I'm not very good at picking favorites).
 
While many were drawn to the Sway, many were turned off by its perceived snobbery and classism. And many were turned off by the childishness of the Awakened -- it's sort of like Faerieland; a lot of people love it, but a pretty large number are also kind of anti-faerie. There's not a lot for the Awakened to appeal to besides "WOW - Zombies!," so for non-zombie fans (especially those sick of cake jokes thanks to Portal)... there's not a lot for the Awakened to offer.
 
But that's the awesome thing about Neopets -- TNT offers lots of different lands (and now factions) to appeal to all kinds of people. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Sway or the Awakened. If you like them, that's great!

Oh my gosh, I just ran into this! The neopets cam!I

I totally remember being little and pressing the refresh button so that I could see the people walking through the office and working at their computers. I think in the old days there was a closer connection between the users and the creators/employees of Neopets. Now it all seems so impersonal.

OMG THIRD QUEST THIS YEAR IS A FFQ!!!
 
 

I split my laptop screen so I have a video playing and a little window where I click, I manage like, 50 battles in 30 minutes doing this xD

TNT summed up into one sentence, bravo. :P
 
 
I actually feel that there needs to be a limit to how long they drag things out, because often times things seem to take an eternity and by the time it's over everyone is tired of it and not remotely ready to be thrown into the next thing we all know TNT has waiting for us. I am in favor of whatever format makes the Altador Cup a reasonable length and won't leave us frustrated or twiddling our thumbs (they somehow managed to do both with the War).

Woohoo! I just got 1,721 on Attack of the Revenge. Not the most amazing score, but if my score holds up until midnight, I should have a brand new trophy on my userlookup tomorrow! I've really missed getting new trophies. :)
 
Funny thing is that I wasn't even completely focused on the game because I had Netflix open in another window, lol. (I've been catching up on a lot of TV lately.) Clearly I do better at games when my attention is diverted enough that I stop stressing out.
 
Update: Yup, the high score stuck until midnight. I now have a new trophy! *throws confetti in the air*

Woohoo! Finally got the space faerie avatar today! Super happy about that. :D
 
Now I just need to win back the Von Roo avatar I lost today... got too greedy about leveling up. :P

Clearly, it's because we like him.
 
(I'll see myself out.)

So I got a FFQ, she asked for a Deserted Carnival Bed- it was worth 20 NP! AHHHHHHHHHHHH *headsplodes* Now I can get an Alien Aisha! SQUEE!
I just need to run around for a while here I'm so excited :happydance: :dance:

I was just going to suggest ~Nimmo when I saw this post, but it looks like Rebecca beat me to it!
 
Some additional advice:
If you're locked out due to gem overload (most common lockout issue, I believe), it is going to be much easier to fix your lockout than if you're locked out for another reason. If this is the case and you want to fix the lockout yourself, then you can click the Merge method that Rebecca linked to, and scroll down to "Step 7 UPDATE 22/10/2011." Before I tried this updated method, I had to reset my Hab twice because nothing else worked. After I tried this new method, I wanted to kick myself afterward because it worked like a charm. Saved me a lot of time. :)
