Thank you! I ended up joining the Theives Guild. I mean, I have none of the avatars, so in that sense it doesn't really matter, the boon I'm particularly interested in looks to be offered by both The Sway and The Thieves Guild, and so many people on here are joining the Thieves Guild and I wanted to share the experience with them, either celebrating or commiserating.

No offense,but I honestly am against the idea of paperclip trading.
My reasons are:
1.You're trying to trade something that is worth 1 np for something that is like worth more than 1 million times its price with no work involved.
2.There are thousands of people who work hard and save up for their goals while somebody else managed to trade a jelly for a stealthy PB in 5 days.
3.Its plain unfair.
There are my reasons,now if you do a paperclip trade I have nothing against you,but honestly I think you should work towards your goals :/

Ooh, I do like the scroll of ultranova. I've had good results with that. I also like the scroll of dark nova. So cheap. Ha, your stats are WAY better than mine. I've basically just been shoving my pets in the battledome with a different array of cheap weapons and seeing what happens. I mean, I do try and make sure they have a variety across attack, defense, dual, healing and other special items. But I've made some interesting discoveries (read mistakes) and found things I like and things I loathe but I'm aware that the weapon set I develop to beat challenger A might not cut the mustard with challenger B, so I'm still trialling stuff.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know. I'd just made it to the skirmishes page in my quick self-education. I really like some of those boons! And since I don't have any of the avatars, it won't make a difference which faction I join, I guess.

Just like Blowupthesun, I too have been around for a little bit. 6-1/2 yrs. I could have had quite a few avatars during that time but I only got an acct because my son, who was 9 at the time, had one and got me to join too. I created a pet, and played some games. I mostly liked the word games like word poker, word pyramid, spell or starve, eliv thade, etc. I battled in the dome a little bit so I did get the battledome veteran trophy but I didn't collect avatars at all. I wasn't even sure how I did get the ones I got. After about 6 months or a year I stopped playing and played sporadically throughout the years. Obviously I played enough to keep my acct from being purged which was good. But it wasn't until the last year or so that I really got heavily into playing and really collecting avvies and game trophies, and participating in different events like the obelisk and festival of neggs. I couldn't really get into the altador cup but I was do neoquest II Insane at the time.
 
So, yes, I might like to have the chance to be able to unlock an avatar that was available at the time that I had my account, yet was oblivious to workings of neopets.

I don't know...I wouldn't even consider them all to be a sign of loyalty necessarily, considering someone could have signed up, played for like 6 months and gotten one of those avatars if they happened to be there at the right time. I've been playing basically since the site was launched and just used the site like a kid would - played games, bought toys for my pets, etc, not realizing there would be stuff that would only exist for so long and then be unavailable forever. Not that I knew how long I'd still be using the site anyway...
 
I'm still annoyed about some of the retired ones, because TNT froze me "for my own protection" and didn't respond to the multiple tickets I sent in for over a year and a half and I missed out on I think 3 of them.
 
I personally like the idea of some avatars being really rare or hard to get, but you could if you put in the work. That's loyalty, too. Or, if they were going to make them available for just a short window, they could do it more than once, on rare occasions, rather than just a few days then they're gone forever.

I would like to see old avatars brought back for those who COULD have been around for them, if that makes sense. I really like that older accounts are privy to more features of the site, as it does reflect our commitment. If we were at least around when the avvie was available, I would love to see a way to unlock it! I hope that makes sense.

I took a break from Neo for a while too. But I'm a full grown adult with no kids. I just love the break from reality and playing the simple games.

This is the first time I ever won anything from here like this. I usually win just food or little np!

Aww, the Elderly Symol is actually kinda cute...

It would appear RNG was on my side for a change ^__^
 
Q: What shouldn't you let a school of baby Barbat find having a knack to NeoHome?
A: With sporting the piece of speckled fresh lollypop bushes!
 
Uh Oh... Now you've done it!

That was the worst joke ever! I only give it 288 out of 1000!
Leave my kingdom now! *Grrrrrrrr*
 
 
 
Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Skarl - Moody' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!
Wow... maybe he needs a vacation.
 
At least he graded it o.o

Ebola is a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Ebola virus was named after that river because one of the first outbreaks occurred in a village near that river.
 
Yes, there is a serious Ebola epidemic right now. However, that pet is nearly two years old. It's possible it was named after the river instead of the virus, or maybe it was a random combination of letters that mimicked a real thing. Or maybe it was named after the Ebola virus -- but in a context in which there was no current outbreak, no one dying of it.
 
I have a friend whose real-life cat is named Yersinia. As in Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that caused the plague (the Black Death) -- because cats were domesticated to control the rodent population, the carriers of the vector of the plague. My friend is a doctor. Many people in the health sphere have "gallows humor"; it helps them cope. It's not meant to be disrespectful, but I can get how some people think it is.
 
Naming a pet after a virus is not necessarily even meant to be "gallows humor," either. I know many virologists who really respect the lifeforms they work with. They're fascinated by how such a short snippet of genomic material, coding just a handful of proteins, can reproduce and thrive. Ebola is actually relatively simple, startlingly so, considering the devastation it wreaks. I know it might seem weird to find something so small and so deadly beautiful, but it's not much different than people fascinated by poisonous snakes, or sharks, or spiders.

2. You know when the kids are quiet that they're up to something... so lets all talk in our normal speaking voices and hope we can fly under the radar.

I won a Neopets 14th Birthday Goodie Bag from doing my dailies. I can't even remember which daily! I opened it bc "sure i'll take some birthday themed crap"
 
I got the Birthday Kadoatie.
 
I never get cool, random things and I got a birthday kadoatie?!??!?!
 
Sorry I'm just kinda freaking out and wanted to share. I'm super happy about it because I figured I'd never get a kadoatie.
