Squee! A little Illusen doll! I wonder if I can make her like an angel on Tatanja's shoulder! It was WAY past time to update her look, anyway! THANK YOUUUU!!!! :wub_anim:

May I present to you all: The Runway's Hall of Winners!  :king: 
 
I've listed every winner so far and linked the original topic for each round. Just click the spoiler buttons to see the images!
Also, there's an image limit per post, so I had to split the posts. I hope this won't be too inconvenient.
 
Let me know if you see anything wrong in the topic! Everything looks okay on my computer, but since I've had a bit of trouble formatting those posts, I figure there's a chance it might look wonky to other people.

I'm gonna go Seekers again, and I promise I'll collect my interest after I choose the boon if they win...

I just wanted to let you guys know that so far I'm really impressed with the entries I've received for round #18! I never thought Quiggles could look so pretty  :laughingsmiley:
Keep 'em coming!
 
Also, what do you guys think of having a Hall of Winners? That would be a topic featuring all The Runway winners, since round #1. I suppose that would be a very image heavy topic, but I guess I can put the images under spoiler tags. Since some people have trouble finding the previous winners, I thought something like this might be helpful (I would then link the Hall of Winners in this topic's first post).

You can just go to the topics "The Runway Votes # ..." and see the winners. For instance, last round's (round 16) winners can be found here. :)

Count Von Roo: Oh dear, it's that pet that gained 8 levels from me... Well nobody makes a fool of me and gets away with it! Snowager!
 
Snowager: Hmm? (What is is Count Von Roo?)
 
Count Von Roo: You like blasting people with ice and freezing things, correct?
 
Snowager: Mmhmm! (You bet I do!)
 
Count Von Roo: Well then, freeze that cursed pet owner's computer so they can't make a fool of me again!
 
Snowager: *fires massive ice blast at jellysundae's computer* Mmmhmmhmm! (Now they will never be able to challenge you!)
 
Count Von Roo: Great work Snowager! Although they might get suspicious that their computer is a block of ice...
 
Magnus the Torch: I could breathe fire on it and still keep the computer frozen... but I'll need a favor.
 
Count Von Roo: Sure, anything to keep that pesky neopet from beating me two days in a row!
 
Magnus the Torch: I want you to find out which came first: The Draik or the Draik Egg!
 
Count Von Roo: Very well... Perhaps Finneus will have the information I need!
 
After a long, arduous journey, Count Von Roo finally reaches Altador. He sees Finneus entering his study room.
 
Count Von Roo: Hey Finneus!!!
 
Finneus: Bwaahh!! *turns around* Oh, it's just you, Count Von Roo. Did you need something?
 
Count Von Roo: Actually yes I did. I was wondering if you had a book on the history of the Draik.
 
Finneus: Sure I do, but why would you need something like that?
 
Count Von Roo: Well, I am trying to figure out if the Draik came first or if the Draik Egg did.
 
Finneus: Hmmm, I see... Unfortunately I lent that book to Kauvara. I'm sure if you paid her a visit you would get the answers you need.
 
Count Von Roo: You mean I have to go all the way back to Neopia?! Hrrrmmph...
 
A disgruntled Count Von Roo continued on his journey all the way to Neopia in hopes of seeking the answer he requires.
 
Count Von Roo: Kauvara, I came across many lands seeking a book that is in your possession.
 
Kauvara: Oh, and what book might that be? I have many books here.
 
Count Von Roo: I am looking for the book that Finneus gave you about Draiks.
 
Kauvara: You mean this book right here? *Holds up the book about Draiks* I was going to look for a potion in here that could turn any neopet into a Draik, but it's just the history of them! I guess I will have to find a different potion to create.
 
Count Von Roo: So does that mean I can have the book?
 
Kauvara: Very well, but I want something in return. I need an Everlasting Apple. I misplaced mine and I am running low on its essence.
 
Count Von Roo: Do you have an idea who I could get that from?
 
Kauvara: Perhaps the Shop Wizard could help you. He knows a lot about the value of those sorts of things.
 
Count Von Roo: Okay, I will pay him a visit.
 
Count Von Roo takes a quick stop at the food shop in Neopia Central before heading to find the Shop Wizard. After about 20 minutes of exploring, he finds him.
 
Shop Wizard: Abracadabra! Alakazam! This wand I just got is a total sham!
 
Count Von Roo: Is everything alright Shop Wizard?
 
Shop Wizard: Oh, I don't know. I got this wand in hopes of making my job a little easier, but it doesn't help at all! That's the last time I give the Pant Devil 5,000 neopoints for an item...
 
Count Von Roo: Well I was wondering if you knew where I could get an Everlasting Apple?
 
Shop Wizard: Sure I do, but why would you need something valuable like that?
 
Count Von Roo: It's a really long story... you wouldn't care to hear it.
 
Shop Wizard: ...Very well. Although the Everlasting Apple is too expensive for me to locate, I believe I saw Brucey B munching on one. Try asking that Yurble Elder over there if he knows where he went.
 
Count Von Roo: Okay, I will go speak to him. Thanks for the help.
 
Count Von Roo walks over to the Yurble Elder, who seems to be asleep on a bench.
 
Count Von Roo: (Oh do I envy him... I should be sleeping in my coffin right now...) HEY ELDER, WAKE UP!
 
Yurble Elder: Bwah, what? Why have you awakened me?
 
Count Von Roo: I want to know if you saw where Brucey B went.
 
Yurble Elder: Yes, I remember him mumbling "I'll never be good at Cheat! I guess I'll just go take a visit to Count Von Roo's coffin. He should be able to cheer me up!"
 
Count Von Roo: Oh for crying out loud! You mean to tell me that this whole quest around Neopia has led me right back where I started?!
 
Yurble Elder: Hmmm... It does seem that way, yes. Now if you'll excuse me, I was dreaming about Rainbow Doughnuts.
 
The Yurble Elder falls fast asleep on the bench. Count Von Roo, extremely frustrated, starts his very long trip back to his coffin. Not used to being up this long, he takes a nap at the NeoLodge. Completely refreshed, he makes great time and arrives back at his coffin. Brucey B spots him and his angered face quickly turned into a big grin.
 
Brucey B: I took so much time out of my day to come up here! Do you have any idea how long of a journey I took to get here?
 
Count Von Roo: Don't even get me started on long journeys! I've been all over Neopia just to figure out if the Draik or the Draik Egg came first!
 
Brucey B: That sounds hilarious! Tell me everything you saw and experienced, I could use a good story.
 
Count Von Roo: I will if you give me that Everlasting Apple you're holding. It would help me immensely.
 
Brucey B: You know when I bought this, I thought it would be amazing and save me a lot of time to just eat the same food over and over. Unfortunately after about a week, I grew tired of its taste. So sure, you can have it.
 
Brucey B hands over the Everlasting Apple to Count Von Roo. Count Von Roo cracks a giant grin as he is finally getting closer to figuring out the riddle. He tells Brucey B about his entire journey that he faced in order to solve it, with Brucey B listening intently.
 
Brucey B: You ran into a Yurble Elder that said he wanted a Rainbow Doughnut in his sleep? Now I have heard everything! *bursts out laughing* Okay, thanks for that entertaining story, now I've got a slot machine to check on.
 
Count Von Roo finally arrives at Kauvara's Magic Shop again with the Everlasting Apple in hand.
 
Count Von Roo: I have the Everlasting Apple! Now I believe you were going to give me that book on Draiks in exchange for it.
 
Kauvara: Ah, thank you so very much! Now I can complete my stock of apple essence. As for the book, it's over on that counter.
 
Count Von Roo sees the book. He rubs his eyes to make sure he's not dreaming. After realizing he really found the book, he picks it up and jumps for joy. He takes his exit from Kauvara's Magic Shop and travels back to Finneus in hopes of uncovering the mystery behind the riddle.
 
Finneus: Ah, so I see you found my book! Now lets take a look and see if we can't figure out which of them came first.
 
Finneus begins scanning his eyes over a chapter of the book called The Origin of the Draik. He begins reading aloud the contents of the chapter.
 
Finneus: "The Draik has a very long history in Neopia, but the age old question everyone asks is as follows: Which came first: The Draik or the Draik Egg? While there is no definite proof, it is assumed that the Draik came first. Without a Draik, there can be no egg." There you have it! This book assumes that the Draik came first! It seems like we finally have an answer to your riddle!
 
Count Von Roo is relieved. Now he can tell Magnus the Torch the answer to the riddle! After he calms down from excitement, he heads off to revisit Magnus the Torch. Just after he leaves, a shipment of books arrives.
 
Finneus: Ah, my twenty copies of The History of Draiks has arrived!
 
Count Von Roo finally sees Magnus the Torch.
 
Magnus the Torch: So do you have an answer? Did the Draik or the Draik Egg come first?
 
Count Von Roo: You might not believe this, but the Draik came first! You have no idea what I went through just to figure that out...
 
Magnus the Torch: Wow, I can't believe you solved the riddle! Now let me breathe fire on the block of ice.
 
Magnus the Torch breathes fire on jellysundae's computer. The computer appears to be fully functional, but is still frozen.
 
Magnus the Torch: There you are, one frozen computer! They won't be able to use it again until after you go back to sleep. Now you better hurry back to your coffin, it's 11:49 pm NST!
 
Count Von Roo: Oh, you're right! My coffin is 10 minutes away from here! See you later Magnus the Torch!
 
Count Von Roo rushes back to his coffin. He arrives at 11:58 pm NST, just before he awakes to start Deadly Dice. For some reason, he dreams of Rainbow Doughnuts. He mumbles something in his sleep.
 
Count Von Roo: I want a Rainbow Doughnut...
 
THE END
 
Yep, that's totally how it happened.

Hi guys! Anyone having problems with Trudy''s Surprise today? I've spun it 4 times today and no prize has been awarded. It just spins but no pop up prize window when it stops. :sad02:

​I bought an Ice Caves card. I, too, got Race to Riches, but I won nothing! (I usually don't scratch mine for some odd reason, I just SDB them. I must have a ton in there!) XD

Our baby boy slept for 7 hours straight last night! My husband and I both startled awake so we didn't get quite as much sleep as he did but still it was rather great! Hopefully he'll get into a bit of a habit..til the next growth spurt that is :p

I apologize if this isn't the right place/thread to bring it to everyone's attention, but I am still confused about where I need to post these reminders. TDN has the solution for getting this avatar in their List of Neoavatars under "Seasonal" which explains/links you to the exact Easter Neogreeting you need to send to get this avatar. Good Luck! Happy Gaming!  :rolleyes_anim:

You can get these on your side accounts as well, since it only contains an NC item.

Hello! My picture is my little mutt, Millie. Her mom was a Miniature Pinscher mix, and her dad was a Shih Tzu mix. She and I say hello and welcome to you and Moe! :laughingsmiley:

I​ entered the contest for the first time this round. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of items for each category on Dress To Impress! :whaa: Good luck to everybody else who entered, too! :laughingsmiley:

So to start, I have to say: I grew up on Guardians of the Galaxy comics. when the movie came out I was so absolutely starstruck. Chris Pratt was everything I could have ever hoped for.
 
This was the inspiration for my custo.
 
This is AdamHerrod the Wraith Krawk
 
 
If anyone has a Lulu Adventure Satchel and is willing to trade that would be amazing. its the last piece I need.

At the moment, I'm just shy of 3 million NP heading toward the 5 million I need to unlock the next bank account. I'm not in a huge rush, though. Silly real life stuff taking all my time! :P

I voted for you. Good luck in the contest! :)

I was out in my yard and happened to glance up, and saw a chicken in my pecan tree. None of my immediate neighbors own chickens, so I'm not sure where it came from. My dog is a confirmed sociopath when it comes to small animals, but seems to have lost that drive with age so the yard should be fairly safe. Good luck with your travels mystery chicken!
 
What other odd things are going with everyone?
 

It's just been sooo long I can hardly even remember....almost 12 hours now...
 
Ok, kidding...my SDB is largely junk that I have no good reason to keep. I basically pile up stuff in my inventory and then quickstock it all into my SDB. I only take stuff out if I'm going to use it or sell it, otherwise pretty much everything I get around the site just sits in there. I have old advent calendar prizes, daily dare prizes, lots of jelly, underwater fishing "prizes", yeah, everything.
 
Maybe eventually I'll do a big discard or 1 NP item sale at my shop, but I don't know, it can just be in there, it doesn't bother me - I'm pretty good at just ignoring 90% of it and getting to my codestones/restocking stuff/valuables

Sure!

(this is actually really fun!!)

Speaking of Faerie foods, I have always thought Faerie Bubbles looked not only tasty, but intriguing. How big are they? How does one go about biting into one? Are they as fun and messy as they look? I would love to find out! The description says sugary goodness with fruit goo in the middle, which sounds delicious to me! I would also love to try all the tropical fruits and fancy berries, like most other posters here. And candies. And chocolate. And cakes. And slushies. But also most of the omelettes and jellies! Not the Clay Omelette or the Lint Jelly, or anything Dung-flavored, of course, but many of them! Also, the space station's Spiced Apple Pie has long interested me. I want a slice!

I actually imagine them being about as big as a gum ball (scale-wise) and being a bit like pop-candy: the outer "shell" suddenly bursts when your mouth's warmed it enough, and then your taste buds are flooded with the liquid inside.
I would love candy like that :')

:) Grenthine, I went ahead and added a picture of an Elderlyboy Acara for you. I hope you find him a home.

I've had very strong feelings about this, because at this day and age, this shouldn't be happening. But the fact remains that nothing is every really safe online - if someone with malicious intent wants to get at you, they will.

It's an invasion of privacy, equal to someone looking into your bedroom window and taking the shots themselves. It makes me sick that the "hacker" tried to make money off them. These photos were never meant to go public, and no matter what some people might think, celebrities have the right to a private life in which these photos might exist. I also read somewhere that a lot of the photos were actually deleted, so whoever did the hacking went through a LOT of trouble to retrieve them.

Bad people will always exist in the world no matter what technology is available, it's a matter of trying to keep up with them in order to keep safe. I feel bad that celebrities are treated more like objects since they live in the public eye, and someone thinks it's alright to not respect their privacy. With the age of social media, it makes it doubly hard for them to keep private, although I've seen posts that are absolutely careless security-wise. While I am not rich or famous, I still try not to over share anything online and still keep a lot of things private. I don't have fans who will want to know what I ate for lunch, anyway :P

...and just another reason why I don't trust Apple :worried:
