You have awoken the great Turmaculus...
and he has decided to give you 100 neopoints!!!

Guilds can also be very helpful when it comes to account improvement. Kind if like this forum, guilds can be places to look for help or ask questions. Many have activities to participate in and things like 1np auctions, an avatar lending program, or an adoption agency.

It's just kind of nice to have a network of people that you can chat with really

lol it looks like a less happy plushie polarchuck with long arms. That's an adorable coin but I don't think they had any influence from neopets. It does remind me of the petpet, though I feel like I always have neo on the brain! lol

EVERYONE who donated at least one set of toys will receive 150 NC?? :O That makes me very happy indeed ^^

I received a lot of item lends from TDN before I was even a member of the forums. The avatar checklist has been super helpful too! Welcome to the forums and good luck avatar hunting! :)

I have a little over 11mil but I want to buy all these nice things like a desert PB. I want to have a steady 10mil in the bank, for me that's rich. I know there are people with hundreds of millions but that's just an amazingly unrealistic goal for me. With 10mil in the bank I feel comfortable now :)

With nearly 10mil I am apparently considered rich but I don't feel it for some reason. lol I have enough to get the paint brush I want but I'm always afraid of spending money.

^yes!! I know this feeling lol

Seems to be working rather well for me today :) I never check their facebook page so this is great news to hear!!

I really love my guild, the Collective investors Association or the CIA. It's just a general account improvement guild. It's been around since 2009 and there are a lot of older players that have a lot of good advice to give when it comes to making more neopoints or avatar collecting. I now run an adoption agency and a flash game activity. We also have things like a customization contest, caption contest, and avatar lending.

My guild may not be your thing though so I would highly recommend checking out the guild board on the neoboards. There are a LOT of guilds out there for every interest imaginable. Take your time and ask questions! :)

My goal is to pain my draik desert! :) I JUST reached my bank goal so I'm waiting until I have another 3 mil saved up on top of that :p

Other than that, work on more avatars, more cartoons for the NT, and training my pet

I actually made money on the charity corner so I'm happy about that :)

the pastel aisha looks kind of like a toned down verison of a ghost pet. I don't hate it but I'm not a huge fan. The wraith looks awesome though! The collar just looks a little funny but I like it :)

Hi Revise! Nice to meet you :) I feel like I'm still living out my childhood dreams too xD I've been able to do so many things now that I had wanted to accomplish ten years ago. Entering into the art gallery and the neopian times are two of my favorite things to do :)

I have a feeling they'll lose to the seekers but I'm going with thieves, for the boons of course :)

#7

By: Siniri

Link for animations: http://impress.openn.../outfits/824598

Story: Síofra knows the best spot in Shenkuu for New Year's Eve. Down in the valley past the pagoda, there's a little pond. It's a long walk from the hustle and bustle of the crowds at the festival, but that's just the way Síofra likes it The fireworks are launched from the mountains surrounding the valley, and Síofra enters her own secret world of land and sky, fire and water, light and darkness, magic and mist.

It's sleeting here so I didn't know if it was my satellite internet or the site o.o Other websites seem to work fine so I blame Neo! lol

Hi Tasha! I also refer to my current account as "new" despite it being like quite a few years old lol. Good luck on your quest for avatars! I feel like I'm so close to my avatar goal, yet so far away at the same time haha. Nice to meet you :)

You have awoken the great Turmaculus...
and he has given you a Toy Sword!!!

Caught him just in time! :p

Thank you for voting in the Caption Competition!

good luck, as always :D

3.) yes! If you go to the Quick Ref page (http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml) when your pet is in the neolodge there will be an option next to your pet that says "check out early?" You can simply click that link and your pet will be free :)

EDIT: When you click on the image of you pet the link to check out appears under the "Notices" column to the right of your pet

Welcome to TDN from a fellow socially awkward college student! lol, you're never too old for neopets! I major in art management with a focus on art history. I'm still mourning after the loss of my old account haha, but I've kept this one for quite a few years now :)

Well anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here ^^

About one hour until midnight here! Can't wait to see my family coming up to visit tomorrow, I haven't seen them in the longest time

Happy New Years Angelo! and everyone else reading this :)

Can't get to the site at all right now. It comes up as a "this page cannot be displayed" screen. And I was right in the middle of updating my art page, ah well :p I'll give it an hour or so

I love the Birthday Petpets! I have a birthday meepit :)

Jinjahs are kind of cute and I really like the gingerbread dandan the advent calendar gave out. The Faerie Walking Carpet has a cotton candy vibe to it, actually I think a lot of the faerie pets might accompany the sugary colors on chocolate pets :)

Came to this board to see if it was just my slow computer. Guess not :p

Meh, don't care much for the animations or the bonus candy cane prizes. I'll live, haha

since I was young I've always been dragged to my mom's boss's new years party since they're good family friends. So I've never cared much for New Years. Usually don't do anything exciting. I have relatives coming up new years day which will be fun though :) Although they're coming up for my dad's Birthday- not New Years lol

A music theme would be really cool! Something like that never crossed my mind. I'm a huge Broadway fan so that would be super fun :D I'll keep that in mind!

I've only received 4 entries for this round so far so I've extended to entering date. Maybe with an extra week we'll receive double the entries! I know I've been very busy during this holiday season and I'm sure everyone else has been as well :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday <3
