NEW BATTLEDOME CHALLENGER!!! Turmaculus will be waiting for you in theBATTLEDOME!!! Hide your petpets!!!!! eeeeek!!
Woah there, calm down. Xepha wasn't yelling at you, she was simply stating Neopets' rules. We don't want you to lose your current account because of information that you weren't aware of.
Nobody accused you of trying to cheat the system; nobody was trying to trample on your memories. And there is no possible way that anyone here could have known that your sister is no longer alive.
Please don't look for a reason to jump down people's throats. That's what's entirely impolite. Xepha was only trying to offer help and answer your questions.
Been reviewed quite a few times, normally it takes a few days, quickest I got was within a few hours, the most I got was a week (after then it was too late for me to get the trophy, boo :P) so it's variable, I think, if it's a big jump from your previous score or if it was close to where your highest score was before.
Not sure if it's considered an achievement, but it's the most I've ever won on either slot and I was basically just wasting whatever neopoints I had left!

I beat Better Than You! I'm so happy and amazed. It was one of those things that I never ever thought I would get. I was going through the avatars I still need and I decided to humour myself and check what the game was this week. I remembered Toybox Escape from when I was little and that I was pretty good at it, so I decided to go for it. I got a Bronze Trophy and ah I'm just so excited. I never in a million years thought I could get it.

That's right! Due to everyone's very generous donations, the ALP is now in possession of our very own Bony Grarrl Club!
The club will not be available to lend immediately, as we need to integrate it into our item request system, but we did want to let everyone know that we have one, that it will be available very soon, and to give you all a heads up on the requirements for borrowing.
Because we've had some problems in the past with lending BGC, we've decided to be a little more strict with the requirements this time. However, we also think they're fair, as we will explain below. The club belongs to everyone who helped us buy it, so we want to keep it as safe as possible. Without further ado, the requirements for borrowing the club will be:
1. 20 Mil collateral: Ideally, it would be higher because the market value of the club is 140 mil and growing, but 20 mil is the most you can do in one auction and the ALP does not accept collateral in split trades or auctions. Because we can only accept 20 mil in collat, we need to have other borrowing requirements. As always, Easy to Sell items may be used as collateral, provided they fit into the 10 item + 800,000 NP limit of the Trading Post.
2. Minimum 5 year old Neopets account: This is the account age we feel comfortable lending to. Other lenders may choose to lend younger accounts, but 5 years is our cut off.
3. Minimum 250 Avatars: Before you look at that amount and panic, let's break it down a bit. There are approximately 160 avatars that you can get simply by clicking on links and by items and pets lent by our ALP. Then there are additional ones you can get from simply participating in certain site events (Games Master Challenge, Altador Cup, Daily Dare, Festival of Neggs, etc), more you can get from visiting the concert hall on certain days, from the Battledome, some you can get from looking through source codes, visiting certain locations in Neopia, etc. Someone who only participated in a single year of site events and got all the pet/item/clickables/concert avvies could easily have 200 avatars, so 250 takes into account all of the easy ones, plus a few that require a little more work.
4. Minimum 500 forum posts: Again this my seem like a huge number, but it's quite easily obtainable. Even participating in 2-3 threads per day, even if it's a single post, gets you to that amount in under a year. We want to have a post count requirement because it gives us a feel who we're lending to. If you have a long history of breaking the rules in the forum, for example, it tells us that you might be risky to lend to. Our mods would also like us to mention here that spamming the forums for post count will not be tolerated. Like always, posts must contribute to the discussion at hand. This generally means staying on topic and keeping your posts above 7 words.
5. Minimum 25 trophies/medals on User Lookup: Another big scary number, but again this is why we chose 25. Firstly, they can be any mix of site event, site feature or game trophies and any level (bronze, silver, gold and everything in between). Before you start thinking that you'll never be able to get that many let's take a look at some of the easier ones to get:
Participating in Daily Dare gets you one trophy each year you participate
Participating in Games Master Challenge gets you one trophy each year you participate
Participating in the Altador Cup gets you one trophy each year you participate
Beating Round 3 of Cheat! (a simple game) gives you a Bronze Trophy
Beating Round 2 of the original Snow Wars (Neopets version of Battleship) gives you a medal
Beating Punchbag Bob (it's impossible to lose, it might just take a while depending on your weapons) gives you a trophy
Winning 2 games of Pyramid (NOT in a row) gives you a Bronze Trophy
Winning Round 2 of Go! Go! Go! (another card game) gives you a Bronze Trophy
Winning Round 4 of Cellblock gives you a medal
Completing the Altador plot (which we provide a complete walkthrough for) awards a trophy
Dungeon Dash awards a trophy to anyone who maxes the score
There's 11 trophies that you can get simply by participating in 3 of the yearly site events and by spending a few hours playing games. There are also Neoquest trophies, other site feature trophies (Lenny Conundrum, Better Than You, Random Contest, etc), the Battledome Veteran trophy (you get it as long as you fought at least once in the old Battledome), the Lucky Space Faerie Charm (awarded when you sign up for premium), as well as any other game or plot trophies. You could feasibly participate in Daily Dare, Games Master Challenge and the Altador Cup for a few years, even if you only play a single game for each, and be half finished the requirement. Again, the number is there to show people have put time and effort into their account, meaning they are less likely to risk it by mishandling our BGC. Because the Lutari Talisman and NC Mall Album are given by default, they will NOT count towards the trophy requirement.
There are also a couple things we strongly suggest, but cannot verify, so we have to trust that borrowers will be as careful as they can. All Grarrls or Skeiths on the account you will be getting the avatar on should be in the NeoLodge before you get the item. The Lodge keeps your pet full so you can't feed them, and Grarrls and Skeiths are capeable of eating almost every item, even their own weapons. This ensures you cannot accidentally feed the club to a pet (which is how we lost our last one).
We'd also suggest having your inventory as full as possible before acquiring the club. If it's the only item in your inventory and an item-stealing Random Event occurs, it will be the only item targeted. If there's more in your inventory, there's less of a chance the club will be stolen.
Lastly, like with any item or pet, you should limit your site activity when they're in your possession. Don't keep the item in your inventory or a pet active while you explore Neopia, play games, or chat on the boards. Once you get it, get your avatar and send it back. The less pages you visit while things are in your possession, the less likely something is to happen.
Those are the requirements and our reasons for choosing them. They are non-negotiable. Applications that do not meet them will be denied, though you can feel free to re-apply once you meet the requirements, or to apply for other items the ALP lends that you qualify for. The ONLY exception to these requirements is if you're able to provide the full 140 mil in ETS items that can fit within the Trading Post limit. If someone had 10 Pirate Captain Cutlass, for example, this would qualify as full collat. Again, no split auctions/trades will be accepted.
nstarz until he took a break, and theonlygurl when I feel like going crazy and doing high risk bets. I don't really know theonlygurl's system (if there even is one lol), but I tend to stick with garet (listed as Garet on Hugo's page) because it's similar to Hugo's but will more often than not take a bigger risk.
I'm like you though, I don't really have the patience to learn the system and I'm still looking at others to see if there's one that I like, but for now I stick with garet for the most part.
The time of day doesn't matter, I'm just not sure if it matters if it's your very first wish of the daily limit (7) or not, haven't gotten the avvie myself yet >.<
