Equal parts happy dance and relief, finally can put this game behind me. It is my new favorite avatar!

Thank you so much for the guide! I would not have beaten AAA's score without it!

Game Guide | Daily Dare 2016 Coverage
AAA scored: 550 points
Abigail scored: 70 points

I hope I'm in the right place for this, if not, I apologize.
 
I was playing a game and went to check my profile page to see if the game counted and I had a Captcha box that I had to check to be sure I wasn't a robot. I checked the box and a series of pictures popped up asking me to click how many of the pics had water in them, I clicked those particular pics, was told I'm not a robot and then brought to my page.  
 
Did I miss a topic or an article/editorial in the Nat'l Neopian on this?
 
Can anyone clarify this please?
 
 

Most games still work. Haunted Shootery and Tubular Kiko Racing do not load. The Shockwave games, Attack of the Slorgs, Dice Escape, Gourmet Club Bowls, Hannah and the Priate Caves (those 4 are avatar ones), Castle Battles, Frumball, Hannah and the Ice Caves, and TROTRODS (The Return of the Return of Dr. Sloth) were having problems before JS took over. Bilge Dice was stopped due a script issue. The 3DVIA games, Shenkuu River Rush, Terror Mountain Tilt, and The Last Blast, will only let you post scores with IE. You cannot play the games in the pop-up game window, but the main one, and you may have to run IE as an administrator. Other than that, haven't had any problems with other games. 11 games out of 250+ doesn't seem too bad, to me. Unfortunately, Shockwave isn't used much at all, anymore. It was basically replaced by Flash. 3DVIA hasn't had an update since 2009, I believe.

A brand new Petpet colour makes its way into Neopia!

Was lent by a kind Neopian on the AC today. :*

Also completely stuck at 109. Beginning to think that they don't want us to beat it.

For tickets, make sure your browser is set to allow third party cookies/control. It works in most cases after that.

That's a very complete answer, Scoobert.  BD is mostly working again, stealing doesn't work, computer challengers get to reuse abilities limitlessly, and freezers are iffy. Those quirks are not on JS either, bad Viacom, but I hope JS fixes soon. BC, kads and PT came back so its promising, just slow. 
 
Oh, NC is hopelessly problematic. Premium users and card redeemers have had a slew of problems involving REAL money unfortunately.
 
And I cant seem to submit tickets, I get a blank screen sometimes or it says The page you are trying to access is no longer available.

Lenny Conundrum has ended. Key Quest hasn't been working, since the transition from Viacom to JS. Habitarium is gone. The Almost Abandoned Attic doesn't restock. Bilge Dice is not working/playable. DoN and Neofriends are still not working, but were not before JS took over.
 
Your Magma Pool time may have changed, since the transition. Game trophies are now awarded around 8 pm ish NST, and sometimes the trophy award script doesn't work, so it can skip a day or two, occasionally. Sometimes, during weekends and holidays, the Daily Question says the same/is not updated/changed.
 
However, the Beauty Contest is working. They fixed the problem with the avatar not being awarded. Trudy's surprise is a new daily that awards NP. You can read about it, here: http://thedailyneopets.com/articles/trudys-surprise. Ghoul Catchers is an app (iOS, Android, and Facebook) where you can earn 50K NP a day. The Festival of Neggs just started, today. Topsy now hides Neggs on the site, and not as many as before. I do miss Kari, but I am glad the Festival of Neggs is still going. They have done Charity Corner the last two years, but at different times of the year. The first in December: http://thedailyneopets.com/articles/charity, and last year's was in the end of September, beginning of October (?): http://thedailyneopets.com/articles/charity-2015. So maybe we will see it this year?
 
Those are the main ones I can think of. There may be more. So, some many hope will get fixed, and they have done some new stuff.
 
Glad you are back!
 
EDIT: Many people who come back always seem to ask about Bagatelle and Cork Gun Gallery. Although you cannot play the games via their links in the Deserted Fairground, you can play with the direct links:

Your InSaNe! difficulty best time: 12 days, 5 hours, 19 minutes, 28 seconds.

So exhausted. How does anyone do it in seven hours? Now, that's insane!

I had masses of RE, including getting a MP worth 500k, so getting Sword of Apocalypse wasn't too disappointing.

Now I can rest my aching wrist and get back to life as it is normally lived.
 
Anyone else find it became addictive?

Well, there are still many game avatars I need, and I used to feel that way, too. But, I noticed that many of the games come down to luck. Sure, some require some skill, and you can get some of that when you play them over and over, but sometimes it takes that extra bonus, time, etc, at just the right time, to get the avatar score needed. For example, take Spacerocked! Some may disagree, but I don't think there is much skill involved. I would always aim at the same angle and launch the rock at full power. After that, all you can hope for is that your rock hits the good items/boosts and doesn't hit the bad ones. You can use "B" to get the Grundo to hit your rock to avoid a pipe or whatever, but I can't remember how many times I over shot the spaceship at the end. If you keep playing that game long enough, you will eventually get the avatar score. I spent a few hours on a Saturday, doing just that. And you may even surprise yourself by being doubly lucky and getting a trophy! Turtum was the same way, for me. I did find the TDN guide helpful, but that one was luck, too. Oh, and that one has a cheat - catapult. Very helpful. Get the aim and power down (somewhat) and it's a matter of getting the balloons, punchbag Bob/apple to appear and "hitting" them. Some skill, but still a lot of luck. Snowmuncher, Extreme Potato Counter, and Volcano Run are tough. I still need those, but I believe I can get them, if I keep at it. And that is the hard part. I get frustrated and give up. But sometimes you need a break or a change. Switch it up (try new games) and come back, later. Some games may end up being easy for you, but hard for others (Maths Nightmare - I struggle with that one - not fast enough, but, by your post, it seemed easier for you, as you like math). And some you might find easier that you thought - Meepit Vs. Feepit was, for me - Kick, Punch, Kick, Punch or Punch, Kick, Punch, Kick, take the Meepit out for the first two rounds, beat him up to almost take him out, but then let him take you out for the next two rounds, and take him out on the last (5th) round. Repeat the same for rest of the Meepit challengers. If all goes well, you will have enough for the avatar and sore fingers/wrists to boot! Nimmos Pond? Don't move from the center of the pond, EVER! Get the yellow fire power items - they will eventually come to you. Survive 27ish rounds and the avatar should be yours. Sure it may take several tries to get the score, but it will happen. Some games do really work better with a mouse - Advert Attack, Carnival of Terror (still need Carnival of Terror - darn clocks!). So, keep the games in perspective, never give up, take a break when needed, keep positive, and have fun! (I know, easier said than done). The game avatars you get, you will have earned. That is a good feeling. One last thing, if you can Kad, I know you can get game avatars. Kadding is one of the hardest avatars to get, IMHO.

I know I can't be alone in this, but ... I really want to up my avatar count.  Most of what I'm missing at this point falls in the game section, I believe.  That's definitely the area I've neglected.
Even after reading guides and practicing for hours, I am awful at flash games.
 
I've been feeding kads lately, and in the downtime between refreshes, my goal has been to practice a 'simple' avatar game - Mynci Beach Volleyball.  I still can't do well enough to even touch the av req score.  It's kinda disheartening, but I know it's on me to improve.  I don't know.
 
Just makes the whole account improvement thing seem like a real reach, you know?

Yes! Edna! Finally! I don't now how much I spent, but glad I will not be doing her quests, anymore. There is only so much you can do with Spooky Food. Will be a nice avatar for Halloween, though.
