Things are better for me today. Yesterday I played with the zoom and at up to 75% zoom the YYB play button was responsive; but the lag during the game was so monumentally appalling that it was unplayable. Today though... dun dun DUNNNNN Things are a gazillion times better! Had to go down to 67% zoom to get some life out of the button, but gameplay is "normal". No lag. Did appallingly badly, but then it took me a while to get into my stride last year too. The game clock isn't working properly. Seems to be cutting game time down by an abitrary amount; been between 4 and 0 seconds for me! Opportunity for a LOT more goals then. @Aquamentis12gonna aim for 25?? I'm assuming that'll be fixed, but who knows? I wonder if the coders are working today, they clearly were yesterday.

Well done! Same happened for me earlier this year; I had no idea until Serg pointed it out to me on the board. x'D Ironically I only started playing TYS daily after Flash died, Alyss posted her petpage http://www.neopets.com/~5T4RRY on the board for us, for Expellibox mostly, but I started doing TYS too just because it was there really. >:3

I've finally tried Chrome, can't get the play button to work for YYB.

The ray is fired at Burfin... ... and he doesn't change at all Nothing looks different about Help me eat but you can sense something happened. It becomes evident later when it tries to climb a tree but breaks off the branch instead. The ray has increased its level to: 4

Stuff like that is a problem. I think it would be wise to tweak the drop rate of the bonus items, but I'd have thought they have done that already if they were going to. I feel some of the caps just have WAY too much in them, so the statistical probability of getting the item you actually want is close to zero anyway. .__. I can hardly motivate myself to mess with AC stuff today. A brief moment with SOSD as Mario said you can aim the ball with the mouse - set the angle up while you're charging - so I tried that out; and yes, you can, and I need to practice, but but dun wanna today. >8[ Yet to try yyb as it'll mean using Chrome and having to switch browsers is enough to have my brain gettin' all >8[ again!

Ok, I've decided. If I was a member of TNT, I'd create an avatar for pinatas that took over X amount of whacks to break. Then I'd sit and laff about how much mass frustration and swearing I was causing. *not a nice person*

The ray is fired at Burfin... ... and she changes gender!!!! Fritz shall now be known as Help me eat. How nice.

A ninja mentioned "strong data usage" when loading any of the games on mobile, that's not good.

Clearly not enough though! I do wish we got to know how many signed up for each team. It would be fascinating to know just how uneven the balance is!

Maybe there will still be free pet slots that happen. I hope so anyway. It's an easy thing to give people, isn't it. Once the means is there. A thing they can pull out of the bag where necessary, like a Christmas bonus kind of thing. It does make sense to have them available for cash; for the people who want more and MORE and MOAR!!! and are willing to pay. I wonder how many there will be?? We'll find out! But I do like to think free ones will still exist. *polishes rose-tinted glasses* I understand the Mall thing, I mean they need the funds from it to pay for all the stuff that needs doing. I mean, to show NetDragon they're making enough money to justify whatever piffling budget they're allocated... I'd not want to be in Scrappy's position, that's for sure! Not least because I'd not be doing all that fake chirpiness on videos, I'd probably not be allowed to make any more after the first one went out.

I'm on FIRE with SOSD, look at that goal count! xDDDDD Are they starting us off with free goals, like some kind of handicapping because gameplay sucks? I'm pleased that I'm amused by all this right now; not sure how long I'll be able to maintain that for though. ^o^;;

I investigated. *gulps* Same issues with YYB, but then I'm using firefox, and had already seen my friend Mario saying it didn't play using that browser. I'll try it in Chrome in a bit. Tried SOSD, that's playable, just as long as I don't judge it from prior knowledge. x'D It's pretty hysterical shooting without charging the ball first (i.e. how I'd always played previously!) BALL IS SO SLOOWWWW. *gigglesnorts* No top time or accuracy bonuses to be had this year though, that's for sure! xDDDD I don't play SS or MSN so not even investigating those two, but OHEMGEE If this event really is as bad as it seems like it's gonna be, I fear the "I QUIT, AND FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE A DRAMATIC BOARD ABOUT IT!!!11!!" people, and many others, really will be quitting this time around. Especially after the video TNT just released talking about an NC Mall upgrade next, with UCs and more pet slots becoming available for NC purchase; that combined with a slapdash AC sends ALL the best messages, doesn't it!

From what I've seen on the boards you can only sign up using an actual computer, it's not working on any mobile device.

Ain't that the truth! Judging by the boards our worst fears are realised, quelle surprise... I'm avoiding even trying anything yet, but it seems I'm gonna need to use a different browser. But people who only have mobile devices can't sign up at all?... *Awards AC XVI with BIGGEST DUMPSTER FIRE EVER trophy now to save time*

Oh wow, yeah, Stealthy looks very odd, especially on the bandana? The rest of the outfit's better though, if you just discard these dodgy bits! What the heck with those ribbons! I mean seriously. Outfit is though. I also need to know what that guy uses on his hair! That's one luxuriant mane, dahling!

You're very welcome! He does, doesn't he I still feel so many warm fuzzies that Neopets' former art director is back drawing for them, this guy knows these pets and characters, he created a lot of 'em!

Nice varied selection this month! Nice being a very subjective term! x'D Really irritated by how the screenshot randomly sticks the toolbar in there, which isn't even in the screenshot! >_> Stoopzy may find a use for that dung sandwich if his canvassing doesn't get more people joining Shenkuu. Well that's a lovely bit of serendipity!

Yep, Oxbridge is plugging the popular guys this time around! *tongue inserted firmly in cheek*

Hi! Welcome. I'm active on the boards, on the Shenkuu hangout on Board 7 at least; and while I'm aware of seeing numerous comments from other people about how "dead" the boards are now, they seem to be comparing them to Neopets' heyday when the boards and guilds moved so fast it was impossible to keep up? We're on our 54th board during the current AC off-season; I'd not call averaging less than a week before needing a new board, dead, all a matter of perspective. Neoquest still works! Yay for the non-Flash content!

Ooh, another tough one! Particularly if you choose the Yurble as their colours are like, punch-you-in-the-face bold! OH... Inspiration occurs...

Oh, hey, I placed! Thank you!! That stamp was my second choice, I'd initially considered this one, but in the end I just wasn't sure how I felt about it. Seemed a lazy/too obvious option? I dunno. I found this round tough! It was hard finding a background that looked like it could have been the background of the stamp, @lalladalladid the perfect job with that! I think it was being able to recreate the Shoyru's expression that sold me on my final choice. x'D

A definite glow up? >:3 The ray is fired at Burfin... ... and she loses 2 defence points!!!! Poppler shall now be known as Fritz. How nice.

The ray is fired at Burfin... ... and she loses two levels :( Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that. You should come back tomorrow and try again! Hello cutie! >:3

The ray is fired at Burfin... ... and she gains 4 maximum hit points!!!! But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something.
