I definitely have, yes. Like the Kiko Lake team... 4 Kikos and a Peophin. None of them have legs, how do they move around at all?

Today my team, Shenkuu, is playing Mystery Island. As I played, I couldn't help wondering how their keeper managed to survive out of water.
 
Have any of you guys had weird thoughts like that? lol

That wig... I had to do something with it. I guess I just couldn't let it go.
 

Oh gosh, DHMIS @_@ I haven't even watched the videos and somehow I know what you're talking about.
 
Anyways.
I may or may not be addicted to making Neopets versions of my friends and I.

I remember watching this on TV and I was happy that those two guys stood up for them although while watching that I was getting slightly irritated at the female actor and those college girls I think? Although I'm not really for couples of any type making out in a restaurant unless it was like one mostly intended for couples any other forms of affection such as hand holding is fine.One thing is that I can't believe is that most people just left the heterosexual couple alone but they don't like the other couple it shouldn't matter what gender people are in a relationship and each couple should be treated equally.

I was looking to see if there was a article where people could post ideas or suggestions for Neopets and I haven't seen one so I decided to make one. Anyways I'm not sure how long it's been since Ne0pets was making a new game so I was wondering what if Neopets could make a NeoQuest III? Although some people still haven't beaten one and two yet including myself it would be nice to see how they would make a 3rd NeoQuest or just a new game in general. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what might be cool to see on Neopets it would be nice to hear them.

I want them to allow dti's pictures on their site.

I think that they should have a morphing potion which changes only the species of the pet and not the colour. Even though it would be difficult because not all pet can be painted all colours, it would make things a lot easier

Well, thanks to that image you put in my head, I'm going to want to kick a ball to his face maybe 5-10 times per game :P

Excellent choice (why am I not surprised to see a Cybunny? XD)
 
Congratulations!

So, yeah, I guess this is definitely my lucky week/month :D Look what I got today (for the FIFTH time!!!):
 

 
And guess what! That item was less that 5,000 np!!! :D :D
 
So I decided to get one of my long-time dream pets. I'm proud to present you... Chyalla the Maraquan Cybunny!!! <3 <3
 

 
So happy right now! <3

It's official - I hate the Coincidence! I got this RE, just a few minutes after doing The Coincidence daily that lost my Battledome fighting pet 3 Strength points (again):
 
"The incessant mewing of a Mutant Kadoatie drives you completely mad, and you give its owner 5,135 NP to take it away!"
 
That does it. I really HATE this new daily and the new REs. I haven't had any good ones with the minor exception of one that gave me a couple of hundred NP for a bank error in my favour. I have lost a ridiculous number of defense, strength and HP for my main pet, not to mention a ton of money in items and in REs like this one. It's making me consider quitting NeoPets altogther for a while, just to preserve my NP and stats. This is NUTS. Occasionally, I used to get a minor item now and then, maybe a few coins.... Once in a while, something would come along and steal a few NO or something, but it was never a big deal. Not anymore. It's been nothing but bad luck. :grrr:
 
I hope The Coincidence gets hit by a meteor cruising past Kreludor. I hope mutant alien space pirate aishas dock with it and gut it completely for parts. I hope that rabid kadoties from the planet Pheed'mee-morr invade the ship and eat everything in sight. I hope that a curse from the catacombs hits a mirror, reflects it into space and smacks right into The Coincidence, changing all the wiring to licorice strings and all the mechanical doodads into triple chocolate cheese wheels. I hope one of Jhudora's evil spells goes awry and turns the entire ship into a giant dung mote. (That last one would be a step up from what it is right now.) :skull:
 
Sorry, everyone. Just needed to rant. ^_^
 
Oh, and did I mention.... I hate The Coincidence?
 
*snort*

I think it's too cruel to think that it's every man for himself. Also too capitalistic in my humble revolutionary opinion, lol :P
 
I believe we should care for one another. Heck, even animals do it. It's the least we can do to be humane.

Today is my 21st birthday! We got up this morning and I got two doughnuts and coffee and we went to one of my favorite restaurants.
 
I also got a PS4 with Watch Dogs and Metal Gear Solid 5. I also got two games for my PS3, the first Uncharted (I hear that game is really good) and Hatsune Miku Project Diva f because I love Vocaloid music.
 
I had a really good day :D

I think Neopets when I was little helped me learn to be kind because when you are like 5 it's easy to become selfish but I always put my Neopets first and I can't abandon them because they always seemed so sad and I ended up donating neopoints some days because I didn't see anything I wanted in the shops. Also it also helped me learn about how somethings in the economy work today and whenever I somehow end up with a conversation about the economy I end up comparing today's economy to Neopets because when you think about it it's really similar like the US's economy is fragile and something such as the Stock Market would end up affecting everybody while in Neopets something as simple as including a new daily can cause prices to skyrocketing and by new daily I mean The Coincidence when it first started.Although I'm not really making anything from the Neopets Stock Market right now I just need to wait like in the real world because sometimes to make money from stocks you need to wait a long time sometimes.

So I was just browsing buzzfeed and came across this article that was posted yesterday titled "17 Life Lessons we Learned From Neopets"
 
I found it amusing and thought I would share :p

hahah this was probably my favorite bit...
 
3. We understand that sometimes we have to do things we don’t like to make money

Oh my God! How can people be so cruel to animals? :( Thank goodness he met you. Hope you have the best of luck caring for him. Please keep us updated! I've been through this situation twice before, if you need any tips, please contact me!

There have been many incidents in real life where a father and other family members have had to turn in a relative for their criminal behaviour. In many cases, it's a mother turning in her son for drug dealing, but there's been a few times when it's a father turning in a rapist son or a murderer. It's so extremely sad, but it happens. My heart breaks for the family, since they did everything that they could to raise this person right yet somehow, everything went pear-shaped with this child and they just turned out wrong.
 
 
You've been very lucky that you've not been in this situation. I have to admit that aside from the intensive bullying I experienced when I was young, I've never been in that situation either. (Online gaming is a completely different issue and I've been run off sites by aggressive males for years - as a result, I don't ever do online gaming except for NeoPets, and even there, I have no NeoFriends because I'm scared that it will happen again.) It doesn't mean, though, that we need to ignore it because it is all around us. I just saw a husband bullying his wife and daughter just yesterday. I was in a Wendy's restaurant and the little girl, maybe all of 2 years old, was acting out. He came within an inch of smacking her as well as his wife for not controlling the child better. His language was very abusive and it sounded like there was a distinct possibility of violence when they got home. There were three other people around who were on their cellphones to the police. I'd have made it four if I had one. (Phone plans are way too expensive in Canada.)
 
The world is far from a perfect place. It would be awesome if we could fix everyone in the world and get them all on the same peaceful and well-behaved page, but there's a problem with even a lovely thought like that: who determines what that standard is? Sure, I'd love to be the one, but I would take every abusive person on the planet that can't be "corrected" and drop them on Jupiter without an oxygen tank. They'd think I was the abuser, wouldn't they? They'd be right, too. My views are probably way too harsh for some and not nearly hard enough for others. So who would get to decide? The simple answer is no one person should ever weild that kind of power. Which is why civilized nations work together to try and oust dictators when possible. Not that we do a good job of putting in something better, but at least we make the effort to try and help the people who are being crushed under the ego of a single dictator.
 
Getting back to the main topic, though.... I truly believe that starting this newest generation of kids on the right path is the only lasting answer. If we can somehow get past the "me" generations to one that thinks of those around them, has been taught common courtesy and manners, a generation that understands that we all need to get along with one another and work co-operatively for a better place for all living things.... then there really will be hope for the future. What we have now is largely selfish and self-absorbed, can't grasp the simple concepts of politeness and kindness, and enjoys a consumer-based lifestyle where everything is immediate gratification. A world of built-in obsolescence with no quality of manufacture. This leads to people growing increasingly frustrated with their life because there's nothing to have any pride in anymore. Which then leads to people lashing out at those around them and a need to dominate something since they can't control the spiral of consumerism. This brings us full circle to the problem of people (usually women) being oppressed and those responsible for it.
 
Last words, I promise. I still come back to the principal that it's all a form a bullying. Women bashing, men bashing, gay bashing, race bashing..... all of it. Why do we do it? I hate to say it, but it's half instinctual as part of the survival mechanism. The other half is learned behaviour. We can't do much at all about instinct, but we can break the other half of the cycle if we really want to. This takes education and a force of will. We need to start with children and teach them not to hate. This is done almost entirely by example. They watch us. We have to act right or they learn the same old bad habits that we learned from our parents. WE have to break the cycle.

I was wondering if anyone on here as ever gotten banned from a shop on Neopets before such as the book store,plushie store ect.? By banned I mean kicked out of the store for a few seconds before being allowed to purchase from there or making a shopkeeper so angry that they refuse to serve you for a few seconds? Also is there any shops where you get kicked out more often for me it's a tie between the book store and the plushie store.

I really like the idea of having articles like this being posted weekly. I find things like this to be quite interesting and I never though about the similarities to Neopets and the real world.

Hi! Goomy's Thoughts is an idea I've been thinking about for a long while. I thought I would do on this article on this website once a week, showing how Neopets compare to the real world, and anything what happens that relates to the real world, so with that introduction, here is the article!
 
~ Article I: Does Neopets exhibit real governments? ~
 
Neopets is just a playful, innocent website that does not compare to the real world right?
Wrong.
Neopets has a dark side, showing very real world governments that compare to real countries today. In the "innocent" world of Neopets, you notice real-world governments such as totalitarianism, monarchies, federalism, anarchy and socialism. Let's begin with totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism is shown well through Darigan Citadel and Virtupets. Darigan Citadel, an island off the mainland of Meridell, is run by a ruthless, implausible ruler, Lord Darigan. Lord Darigan does not let you visit, talk or even see him, and he names the Citadel before him. Lord Darigan can be compared to the pigs, mostly Napoleon, from the book Animal Farm as Darigan has protectors which do not allow you to see him, and hypothetically if you speak to him the wrong way, you would get attacked, just as Napoleon would do. Also, do you notice how there is only one shop in the entire citadel? This can be assumed that Darigan did not allow many shops, and that he has total control over anything that occurs in the world. Now let’s visit Virtupets. Virtupets, as Darigan Citadel, is run by a supreme ruler Dr. Sloth. Dr. Sloth, as the official Neopets guide book of Virtupets says "[he] plan back in Y2 to turn every Neopet on the whole of Neopia into a mutant. However, things did not work out as Sloth had hoped" (Neopets). From then, he has ease up with his total control over everything, but he still does not allow many things, and the space station still has weapons in the open, i.e. Lever of Doom, making the citizens of Virtupets fearing him, and not let them start up a revolution. You can compare Darigan Citadel to North Korea, while Virtupets is a like a modern day China or the past Soviet Union, as China has SIZs, or Special Industrial Zones where foreign companies are allowed to build and grow things. This correlates to Virtupets, as Dr. Sloth has allowed an arcade to grow and flourish for money.
Next, monarchies, monarchies are littered through the various worlds, but the main two are Meridell and Brightvale. When both King Hagan and King Skarl were young, their families owned both Meridell and Brightvale, and when they and their hatred grew, the two split into Meridell and Brightvale. Monarchies today include Spain, and Canada. Brightvale would most likely compare to Spain, while Meridell is more like Saudi Arabia. Spain is a developed country, with wealth spread around the country, while Saudi Arabia has a rich government but many, but not all poor people. A Monarchy is characterized by a king and a semi-open market. So both Meridell and Brightvale are great examples of Monarchies.
Moreover, federalism is shown through Neopia Central. A federalist government is characterized by an open market. Neopia Central is littered with shops and stores, and there is no one ruler. Various neopets own shops, and do you ever notice that no one has been revealed as a ruler of Neopia Central? It may be assumed that Neopia Central changes its "president" and it is unimportant for TNT to update their ruler so often. A good example of Neopia Central in the real world is The United States or Hong Kong, as people are able to create their own ideas and shops without much struggle.
Finally, we go to anarchy. Kreludor shows a great example of anarchy, as Orange Grundos run the moon, while there is no real leader or regulations. There are few shops, and very little live here. There are no real life situations that correlate to Kreludor.
Neopets is not just a friendly, innocent game where you play flash games for fake currency, but real life situations if you analyze the descriptions of various worlds.

Well, that is it for Edition I of Goomy's thoughts! Please tell me your thoughts about my new idea and please give me constructive criticism as i would love to continue this.

So far I think the justice system is still the same and if women are incapable of understanding the complexities of the working world how did Elizabeth Blackwell become a doctor and how did Marie Curie discover polonium and radium? Also I thought there was a law stating that if someone were to attack a person the said person could fight back and if someone were to be abused for years and that the abused person's life that is in danger they can kill the abuser because their life was in danger at that moment although the law I mentioned seems to be different in different states I think the rule still applies that they can kill in self defence if they have a good reason and being abused both mentally and physically I think is one of the good reasons also I could have sworn that if it was accidental murder that they could charge less than 30+ years although some laws seem to have unsaid loopholes that some people can get away with.

Don't get me started on the "justice system". From what I've seen, women usually get shafted when it comes to murder charges. If a man kills a woman, he is likely to get 5 - 10 years or so. If a woman kills a man, even if it's in self defense, she usually gets life. Why? Because she deigned to fight back. How dare she? At least... that's how it's been for quite a long time. Perhaps it's changed in the past decade and I've just not noticed. There have been some cases that make my blood run well past the boiling point. Example: (case in the northeastern US) a wife had been tormented by her husband for years. She finally fought back and killed him in self-defense. The husband had been getting away with decades of physical and mental abuse. Whenever the police were called to the house to investigate, they pardoned the man because she was "being over-sensitive and had an over-active imagination". After they left the last time, he went and got a gun. She grabbed a kitchen knife and defended herself. She got a life sentence because she accidentally severed an artery and he bled out. She's been in jail for the past 30+ years. How is this right? She will never leave prison because a male judge deemed her a threat to society because she killed her husband. There are women's prisons in the US full of similar stories with women who will never walk outside in freedom again, just because they killed an abusive husband. Men kill women all the time and they practically walk away scott free. Rapists get a slap on the wrist for something that will destroy a women's life. They call it "getting lucky".
 
Yes, it's very true that there are a few women in politics and the "so-called" justice system. (In reality, it's not a justice system at all that we have in North America - it's a legal system. There is no actual justice in it at all.) They had to fight long and hard to get into it and I applaud them for the effort of breaking ground for more to follow. The problem still remains, however, that men wrote the rules. They wrote the laws, long before women were considered people in the eyes of the law. A little reminder, ladies... that's less than a century ago. I can't speak to when the law was changed in the US, but in Canada, women weren't considered to be persons under the law until 1929. That's right - 1929. This is 2014. That's only about 85 years. Before that time, men were legally in charge and it was they who made almost all of the laws that we all have to live under today.
 
Where am I going with this? We women have a limited amount of equality. We have some freedoms under the law. We also have to keep very vigilant that we don't lose our rights, which can actually be stripped away from us frighteningly easily.... by men. I'm not bashing them. Far from it. But to say that we're not still under their thumbs is inaccurate. We are. We have to keep pressing forward, never look back, and constantly make sure that no one is taking away from us what was so hard won. Sadly, some of the wolves at our door are from our own gender.
 
There are radically idealed women out there who want to see us all back in the kitchen with a chain around our ankles because it's what we were created by the Lord Almighty for. That we're nothing more than housewives and baby factories. These are WOMEN who are saying this, not men. (The organization is called "REAL Women" - they are a fundamental religious group (founded in 1983) who believe that men should run things, that women are incapable of understanding the complexities of the working world, and that a woman's only purpose is to be there to support the man. Go look it up under Canadian organizations.) These are the kind of people who we need to watch out for and make sure that they cannot take away our rights.
 
Sorry, this turned into a rant about the legal system more than anything. The point is still valid, however. We all need to be careful in how we look at the world we live in and remember that it's only been a short time that we've had any rights at all. We have to be careful not to let them get ripped away from us again by anyone, male or female. We have to try to support those politicians who really are looking out for our common interests and resist the urge towards apathy. Pay attention to who's running for election and re-election. Don't just blindly vote the way your family has always done since time immemorial. Think for yourself and be ever vigilant against losing what rights we've managed to achieve.
 
(...and I'm still not male bashing.... it's simply the truth that those who are in power are those who write the rules and the history books....)
