Cootie

It's been awhile, but if I remember right when I got it the only things I had in my inventory were the Drackonack and a bunch of the same cheese item (I don't remember what it was, but it was really inexpensive) and I only had to refresh like 10 times to get the avatar O:

I've never thought to send a thank you gift - I feel a little guilty!

And in trades I have also always offered the desired np with some cheap item. I never considered whether it was trash or not but I will now!

I'd appreciate a thank you, but not a neomail to try to ask me to lower my price unreasonably.

To some I may appear a rich player - 2 nice paints and a large gallery etc. But I find I am always saving for 1 item at a time, and a lot of my gallery and collections are inexpensive items. So I never just have a lot of stuff. Now I really would like a transparent pb for my unpainted pet, and the last scarab I need for my collection. These are lofty goals - I'm years away at this rate lol.

But these are interesting things that I will keep in mind when trading in the future!

I think people assume if your account is pretty old you're fairly well-off, which is not always the case XD

I'm just trying to upgrade my bank account to the next tier at the moment, and since I don't get to play much it's taking forever!

What does this mean for the avatar??

Which avatar? Is there one for your pet changing from Boochie? o-o My Uni got zapped a couple years ago but I never got anything from it.

The lag already seems to be much better (on my end at least) so whatever they're doing seems to be working for the time being!
I wouldn't think they would shut it down, but I also think that they know that the site's slowness will run some people off, at least temporarily.

I was gone for quite awhile and only sort of understand what's going on with The Coincidence and that sort of thing, but I also think I read somewhere that Boochie is no longer zapping pets? I still get random events (which I thought weren't happening anymore xD) So I guess I'm just way behind in terms of all this stuff.

Anybody know for sure?

Like a couple other people here, I personally don't mind someone sending me a thank-you neomail, so I guess the worst that could happen is that they don't respond!

Though I do remember a few years ago, I adopted a pet that had been stuck in the pound for quite awhile and painted him Disco, and about a week later I got a message from a user saying that it had been her little brother's pet and he was really worried nobody would adopt it, but he saw that I had and that I'd painted him and that made him really happy so she sent me a thank-you xD I guess it just depends on the circumstance!

Heeey welcome back to neopets! Congratulations on your FFQ!

I took quite a long hiatus and actually just remembered that I have an FFQ I'd been saving!
I think I'm going to use it to turn one of my pets into an Alien Aisha, I've always had a soft spot for those weird looking things xD

Thank you! :3

It definitely takes a lot of advertising so I'm wondering if I still have the time to actually win anything xD I did win goldwith a Scorchio I had on an old account though!

Welp, I've finally decided to join TDN!

I've been playing Neopets for like a thousand years on and off since I was maybe 8 or so, and was sucked in again once I started college because I finally kind of understood the crazy economics that I had no idea I would need to understand in order to play a pet site. It's definitely more fun for me nowadays though, and after a hiatus while I was finishing up school I finally returned and am determined to start entering the beauty contest again, finish painting my pets the way I want them and prepare for endless frustration while I try to increase my avatar count.

So yeah, hi c: I'm Cootie, nice to meet you.
