I picked the same as @jellysundae. I think she is on to something. The "old" players, have dome well, in the past. I picked Gutterfoot as the Star Player. I never seem to pick the "winning one, though.

Same here, as best I can. But, yea! We won yesterday's match! However, this year's AC is feeling like this:

I like to think that, too, but it's not certain, and I just don't know. If TNT would add that, then I'd feel a little bit better. Still, don't like the little guy/gal exploding. I wonder if we could get the PPL involved?! However, they have THE BEST after-score animation, as they do "the robot". Always makes me laugh!

I think it is the "winner's curse". It seems we can't get a "day" win. Did Team TM lose players, this year? But, whoever plays AC, is a "winner", in my book.

Accidentally right-mouse clicking the screen, while playing YYB. It brings up an Adobe Flash box that you must click "Close". While the box is open, I cannot control my player(s). And, the screen change/refocus in YYB. Sometimes, if you are on the right side of the field, and go to the left side, generally at the bottom, the game screen will "shift/refocus". Not super bad, but just weird/strange. Of course, the mind-numbing, monotonous, corporal tunnel causing game play. AC hasn't really changed, since the beginning. The same 4 games. The same number of days (roughly). And, even if you reach All-Star, it's still not enough points for the top AC Shop prizes, let alone to get more than one. I love/hate AC. Last thing. The (incredible) guilt I feel, when I don't score with the Clockwork YooYu. Are they able to repair it, or, it is gone forever? It's all my fault, if it explodes.

A "grey screen", where the Flash game is supposed to load, is often due to Flash not being enabled within your browser, and for Neopets, itself. Some maps have been converted to HTML5, but "customization" still uses Flash. Firefox, now, periodically asks to enable Flash. Meaning, if it asks, and you play on Neo for a while, going to the maps, it may ask you to enable it, again. Do you receive the prompts to enable Flash, when logging into Neo, for the first time of the day, when going to the "Maps of Neopia"? Latest Flash version is 32.0.0.371. As @RonJB mentioned, is it up-to-date? You mentioned Avast. Does Avast ad a plugin/extension to Firefox? If so, it is possible Avast could be blocking Flash, as most security products consider Flash a security risk. Avast may allow exceptions, too. If so, try adding Flash, and see if it helps.

IIRC, it takes about 24 hours for it to show the change, or, rather, 24 hours to cache the change on the server.

Went with The Sway. Oxbridge has them "predicted" for a win. Went with the easy choice, this time around, since AC XV is starting this week.

FLUFF, I wish you the best of luck, this year! May you reach the podium, or take it all! One of the most dedicated teams I've seen, but I don't believe has ever placed. May this be your year!

Team Terror Mountain, it's that time again! Time to, uh, dust off your mouse and keyboard?! More like, time to dust off your YooYuball, Slishie Slinger, Make Some Noise, and Shoot Out Show Down skillz! (I know you have them)! Last year was OVER-THE-TOP! First place. I don't what this AC holds, but, I hope it will bring the teamwork, camaraderie, joys, and tears, it always does, now matter how well we do. We are here to help you reach your AC goals, whatever they may be. Hope to "see you out there" and please post. Although we may be "cold", we are friendly! As usual, here is a song to get you motivated for AC XV:

Mosaic is colorful, is all I can really say.

Do you happen to be a Neopets Mobile Beta tester? Other than Flash, are you using any plugins/extensions? In Chrome, do you happen to be blocking third-party cookies?
