And there's my go make some wishes reminder! ? So far, I am seriously rubbish at managing to do this. ?

PRESSURE! ? I have the image, it's just the wording... nothing I'm coming up with so far is right.

This is what happens to me because of the MS, I say my mouth runs on ahead on its own. ? Hmm... it might be sensible to reach out to TNT about it, but the likelihood of me managing to do that is probably zero. ? @Angeló thinking she might need a neurologist, or have a tumour or something? As a steampunk Blum she DOES have a chunk of metal stuck in her skull! She doesn't actually display the full range of tics. The one on DTI pulls more faces. http://impress.openneo.net/wardrobe?utf8=✓&color=107&species=3#color=107&species=3&state=28020 ALL the possible expressions are unlabeled, I do think this is the problem. Existential angst from un-named expressions xD It's just cycling through all possible options because there's nothing specific for it to settle on?

I finally freed Alice from the Steampunk housing she'd been trapped in today, after forgetting about it repeatedly, it seems to have had a detrimental affect upon her. ? Check her out, you'll see what I mean. http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=thenameisalice Nervous tic or what, right? I'm assuming this is something to do with her being.... actually, I dunno WHAT I assume. Just something to do with there being hardly any Steampunk Blums in existence yet, but I dunno why that would make this happen. Has anyone seen this before on a pet? I've seen it on DTI but I'd assumed it was something at their end, and I can't remember what pet/colour it was, but it was one with a lot of unlabelled options.

The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she doesn't change at all ? ? 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. Looks like you'll have to come back tomorrow. ? x 2!

Flowers... ? THANK YOU SCOOBS!!! I... ? my brain couldn't see that's what they are, so a fervent thanks for pointing it out! Yep, now that I can see what they are I like them! Amazing how knowing something isn't blood-splatter can help! xDD It is a cute touch, and I do like this look. I need to scope out the other Relic pets and see if a better job's been made on this one's shading... Hmm, they're all shaded pretty well, the ferns growing on the Chia make it cute. The issue with Relic is it's too niche, isn't it. It's not the best colour for TNT as anyone who wants one of these pets is maybe not going to want to clothe it, though it would look good in many outdoor settings. The Peophin looks good because of the greenery. They definitely need that greenery, the others look kind of grim, though the white background will have something/a lot to do with that. and this chap... Well... perfect for this kind of thing. So yeah, I can see Relic's not going to be a popular colour, but it's not unattractive in the way the... er, runny ones like Snot and Custard are, it's not gross like Swamp Gas, it's not OTT like Starry, it's just niche.

@Nielo and @Yuiina thank you ladies. Thankfully today's vote requires no research. ? I'm unsure which to pick. I like the 20 year one, I also like the Lutari one as its colours and vibe appeal to me; and it's an avatar that anyone can attain. I think because of that fact I'm more likely to pick that one. The poor beakless Vandy doesn't get a look in, and as the L&L one is completely unattainable by me... yeah, Lutari I think. A that's-not-creepy-at-all book as a prize.

THIS!!! A million times over, this! ? This is SO the kind of thing I'd come up with that how could I NOT love it?? And OMG that hair and 'tache combo. Looks like a fella from a '70s cop show or something. LOL, if those pies were doughnuts... A very early Runway entry of mine involved those pies, and a story that judging by the voting had just about everyone thinking they wanted to call for the men in white coats. ? So it makes me happy seeing it used here, lol.

AURGHHHH TOPSI *covers eyes* Another round that requires more pointless effort than I appreciate! ? *checks out each lot of stuff* Disclaimer - I judge items on how much use you're likely to get from them year round. Though my personal prefs are gonna taint my opinion no matter what and I realise that. Forgotten Relics of Altador - Meh. This stuff fits the theme, cool if you want to dress your boy pet like a centurion on the reg, the dresses are nice, the archway's good, the waterfall's good, the backgrounds are ok. I can't even be bothered to check out the wigs. I just feel mostly overwhelming meh because Roman stuff isn't my thing at all. Haunted Mansion - I'm not into the gothy stuff, but yeah, not bad, it's minimal pumpkins everywhere; pumpkins seem to generally be like Skittles Pox when it comes to "spooky" items. ? The witches hat with entirely random brightly-coloured feathers and a bow tho... LOL. The goth girl dress is so very '90s. ? Mysterious Magical Neggs - This is much better, a decent amount of good stuff here. Lulu in Space - nope - hardly any of these items are easily useable on a daily basis Looks like it's Topsi for me then... ?

I keep forgetting about this! Forgetting... about chocolate?! ? EDIT Oh dear... I honestly promise I was expecting to go for a pretty "normal" kind of entry for this round. But I tried a particular pet, and a certain idea popped into my head... the item needed to make the customisation possible exists, so... *points dramatically* it's all TNT's fault!

Ok, Ray's clearly not feeling the love around this day of pinkness, I got a loss too... The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she loses two levels ?

@Angeló I agree, both about the items and the prize! No monetary value but a CC 6-pointer. ?

I WANNA SEE A STEALTHY GOOSEBERRY! Congrats!!! ? Ray's on a roll with the cool zaps lately, isn't he! Think that bit of psychology will work? The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she loses 3 movement points!!!! Clearly not. ? Unsurprising that Alice is a bit sluggish now though with all that metal weighing her down! I was going to free her from the housing yesterday, but I forgot. ? Snarkie shall now be known as Puppup. How nice.

I like the moss on Relic, I like that shading too. But the tail!!! It makes it look like a crime scene photograph ?

Stop the presses, I think I'm actually gonna sell! ? No messing, just sellin' ? 16 1000 shares of SWNC Sold 1000 shares of SWNC for 74000 NP. Nigel the Chia charges 20 NP as commission. Summary : You had 8500 NP. After 16 successful transactions, you have 1192480. 56 1000 shares of AAVL Sold 1000 shares of AAVL for 77000 NP. Nigel the Chia charges 20 NP as commission. Summary : You had 1192480 NP. After 56 successful transactions, you have 5504460. Wow, that's the first time in a VERY long time that I've managed to sell without any mental hurdles. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing - am I likely to do something equally impulsive that has terrible consequences today now... ? do I need to step away from Neo right now for my own safety? >_< Let's hope not!

Treadmill one for me, that looked like it should have produced some good captions. Though I am fully aware that the nature of the contest means it doesn't matter one bit if your caption is good or not; it's solely reliant on whether you can get enough people to vote for you. ?

Holiday-specific zaps happening again? Pink pets for Valentine's day?? HAHA, ok, just to prove me wrong Ray goes and does... *drum roll* ... *extends moment like it's an awards ceremony* ... The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she changes colour to Steampunk!! ? Immediately excited because Cora will get a cool outfit, but actually not so much really because it's one of those all-in-one jobs. : / But still, a cool zap.

I'm thinking that TNT are not actually involved? Not in the TNT staff doing this rather than stuff on Neo way. Just going by this I think that's why it seems so out-of-the-blue, this is Jumpstart not TNT themselves. Part of Neo's charm is the aesthetics, isn't it. I'm afraid I roll my eyes at the comments I see about how the artwork needs changing because it's still the same, because it's old. Because I know full well that the very same people ranting about that would be screaming if it WAS actually changed. ?

Don't misinterpret this, Berri, Angelo's just saying you need to fight 10 times minimum to qualify for the boon if your faction wins. But all additional fights count towards that possible win, yup. ?

Whoa I didn't even notice SWNC until @berriganify mentioned it. ? It was at 68 but when I refreshed it's back at 66 It was SSS that grabbed my attention, SWNC was hiding behind it! ? AAVL's fidgeting again too. AAVL (profile) 60 62 +2 56,000 718,000 3,472,000 +383.57% One day I'll actually sell some of these. Really not sure when that day will be though. ?

Haha, yes, I've seen that xD Poor Slorgie: quietly enjoying his lunch, only to discover he's become someone else's. ?

This vote requires more effort than I'm happy about. xD I think I'm likely to pick the Wonderclaw one though. Before checking the contents of them all out it's my choice anyway; I'm not interested in AC items apart from a Shenkuu shirt, also not interested in iridescent things if that's what's in that box, nor do I like shiny gold stuff... ? so let us see what's actually in 'em! Well, the Wonderclaw one has this fabulous jacket in it which I have coveted for a very long time! Hmm, so the 12th NC birthday one actually has a decent amount of nice stuff in it. But SO. MANY. ITEMS. So the chance of you getting one you actually want is super slim. The 20th anniversary one's items are underwhelming to say the least. So yeah, Wonderclaw one it is then!

So many conflicting feelings about this. ? *reads article* ? I'm sure they mean despite now being 20, rather than not. ? Proof-reading as a thing doesn't seem to exist any more? 75 million accounts, maybe... Just one word makes me supremely nervous though. REIMAGINED a reimagined Neopets website... I've seen what that means with regard to houses. -___- *finds prime example* becomes So yeah, fearing the same for Neo now... gut renovation... rip out all original features... completely disregard for history etc... That pesky eternal optimism of mine really hopes that it WON'T be a total disaster, that they're using the term reimagined because it's a buzzword right now, but because when it's used it does tend to be a code word for "completely destroying the soul of" I'm nervous for the Neopets that I know and love. ?

Yeah, bit of a sweeping statement from me there, wasn't it! ? I'd still think less people would go for Brutes when they're up against the other two together, but as these skirmishes have shown us before, it really could go any way. Speaking of... @Scoobert_Doo what way are you going this time around? We all know the Obelisk likes Scoob's left-field choices!

The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she gains 3 movement points!!!! Bounce bounce!
