Hm. According to TDN, here are the requirements for obtaining the avatar: So, I believe you can buy and sell in the same day. I got the avatar, doing the "midnight" method. That method was "discovered", so you wouldn't loose any money in the process. Meaning, the stock rates can change at any time, except during Neo reset time (midnight). If you purchase 1M NP of stocks right before midnight, and sell them for the same price, right after midnight, you won't loose any NP, and have the 1M NP requirement to get the avatar. Well, at least that's how I understand it. It's more of a "guarantee" (not 100%, of course), doing it the "midnight" way. But, you should be able to sell at any time. Just make sure the rate/price hasn't gone down, before doing so.

If the Winter Hideaway Background is still available, I be grateful to have it. Don't know why, but Backgrounds are my favorite "customization" items, and I'd definitely use it, in Nov or Dec. Thank you!

GMC, typically, has started around Thanksgiving (US), and once or twice in the beginning of December, IIRC. Hopefully, we will still have it, this year (2020). As for Daily Dare, I don't think it will happen, per this: ref: Neopian Times Editorial, Issue: 900, 1st day of Hunting, Y22 (1 May 2020), Question #2 - http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=900 Although they didn't answer the question directly, it gives the impression DD is cancelled/not going to happen. I could be wrong, been wrong before, and would like to be proved wrong by Neopets having Daily Dare in 2020. Wouldn't hurt my feelings and I'd take any flack.

I forgot to say it, the other day. But, thank you! (Heartfelt Thank You) Thank you, for putting this event into prospective for me. When I heard about the "Sticky Snowball" bring "nerfed", I was a bit upset, at first. However, your comments on this "board" made me realize that it was my fault for buying the "Sticky Snowballs" (actually, me being lazy, thinking CC would be easier/wouldn't have to work as much), it was "par for the course" (JS/TNT, usually making a mess of things), and it wasn't that big of a deal. To be honest, I really only do CC for the avatar, and, possible trophy. The other things (perks, donate 5, get 1 back, etc), are just a bonus. CC seems to have never been the same event, twice. So, the way JS/TNT handled things wasn't great, but we all make mistakes. I do believe they need better communication with us, and it needs to be on Neopets (not some other Q&A on another platform). But, all I really care about, in the end, is that Neopets is still with us. I still enjoy being on the site.

Well, there is still the end of the year to consider, or, more to the point, then end of Flash, at the end of the year. If, "much" stuff still isn't converted, and AFAIK, you still can't earn NP from the 25 or so converted games, it could be worse, IMHO. And, every Charity Corner Event, so far, has been a mess, so, I guess, it's "normal". I mean, it wouldn't be a Charity Corner Event if something didn't go wrong. But, to be on the positive side, the Halloween "Trick-Or-Treat" bags, as long as they do them, are something to look forward to, along with the Advent Calendar. Those seem to be stable.

Got this one today. Not too hard to get, though. Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Charity Corner 2020' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

If they run the donating like last year, (15 items at a time, IIRC), I don't think it will be too bad. I don't expect a lot, as they are working on converting Flash. Just be careful, if you are looking at donating "1 of" items. May want to verify it isn't a "high selling" one. I know I received rare items from the first CC, but cannot remember which ones, except for a stamp. And, I wish I had battled in the Battledome, everyday, since the last CC. The "Weak Bottled (Element) Faerie" are rare items. I remember donating a lot of those, for a decent amount of points.

Yeah, that crepe, looks more "creepy", than crepe-y. The more I look at it, the more disturbing it gets...

Are you on Beta? If so, there are only 10-15 games available to play, and, I believe, you cannot earn NP from playing them. If you aren't on Beta, do you see a grey screen, where the Flash game normally loads, or do you see a black/blank screen, with three, red cycling dots? A grey screen tends to be a Flash issue, while the black/blank screen, with three, red cycling dots, tends to be an issue with a "bad ad". An ad blocker extension (for Chrome), usually, helps, with that. If you use other plug-ins/extensions with Chrome, it's possible one could be blocking Flash. In a few cases, anti-virus/anti-malware programs were blocking Flash. Flash being "out-of-date" can cause Flash not to work, too. Please post what "screen" you are seeing, and I'll try to provide recommendations.

I went with the Brute Squad. I play, just to play. Don't really go for the boons, but it is nice to get them. Anyhow, good luck all!

Went with Awakened. I think the Order will win. I went with Awakened last round, too, but we know how that went. Anyhow, good luck all, whatever faction you chose. Remember to have fun!

As you are trying to play Shockwave games, unfortunately, Internet Explorer is, pretty much, the only option available, as it is the only browser that still supports the Shockwave plugin, with one exception, as I will explain, below. Opera is based on Chrome, and Chrome dropped the Shockwave plugin, back in 2015. So, Opera may not support Shockwave. Edge never did. Unfortunately, too, as others have mentioned, with Neopets being converted to HTML5, IE doesn't work really well with HTML5. Although it supports it, it may not support the newest HTML5 standards. Most websites will tell you to use a different browser, if using IE, as they say it isn't supported anymore, or "out-of-date". I haven't tried IE on Neopets for some time, but the last time I tried, the "Games Room" didn't work properly, meaning I couldn't see all of the items, and games links would cause my PC to "freeze". So, I just tried, and although I was able to login, Neopets keeps "not responding", with IE, just like it is happening to you. Even though I stated Chrome no longer supports the Shockwave plugin, there is an extension called "IE Tab", for Chrome, that allows you to view pages with Chrome, but using the "IE engine", and allows Shockwave to be "used", within Chrome. However, it suffers the same fate, as it is using IE to display the Neopets pages. In Chrome's case, it just "freezes", and I have to "End Task" it. Only other option, for a Windows PC, is to use the last version of Safari for Windows. It can still be found on the 'Net. I just installed it, as I had a copy from a while ago, on Windows 10, 2004 (May update), and it works. Please note, however, that Apple hasn't supported Safari for Windows, since 2012. Using an old, outdated browser can put your computer's security at risk, so use at your own risk! Same with using an old, outdated plugin, like Shockwave. I, too, hope they convert the 8 Shockwave games. For now, if on a Windows PC, the last version of Safari for Windows seems to be the only way to play them. EDIT: I use ABP (Ad Block Plus) and it is now blocking the ads. I believe Neo fixed the issue. I know, too, most prefer uBlock Origin over ABP.

AC XV, that is. Well, for at least for another year. Yeah! As for the flamingo, above, I think it is a Post Malone fan.

Like @jellysundae, went with the Brutes. It is just easier. I can't think much, during the AC, as my brain tends to only think of Yooyuball...

I think the YooYus could use a break. Go Stealthy JubJubs! I do like the design. Nice job.
