I love the "Rise of the Guardians" and "Arthur Christmas" . Many people say that Rise of the Gaurdians isn't a Christmas movie, but I argue that it can be watched on Christmas, Easter, and other holiday's as they're all in there.

These two, right here.  I'd also like to add Tokyo Godfathers, which is also not 100% a Christmas movie and might actually be more of a New Years movie...  It's been a while since I last saw it, but it's definitely set during the winter at least.

In today's animation, one of the lines in the 'H' just... fixes itself after several frames.  :I

I think this is the first time I've seen an item that has anything other than a white background.  Has anyone else seen something like this before?

Hey there!  Welcome to the forums!  :)  As said above, we really are a friendly lot here.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the first, second, fourth, and fifth questions can be answered with yes.  However, for the third question, per the rules you're not allowed to spend NP on sides, either in official shops, user shops, or in trades, so you'd need to send food items to your side to feed your pets.  However, side accounts are allowed to use the Soup Kitchen, so you can feed your pets that way if you want to.

As for the last one, you can have up to four side accounts.  I'm not sure if people are allowed to have premium on side accounts, though, and that would effect the total number of pets a person could have.

A relatively small achievement, but my battle pet reached level 151 today.  So that's a new tier at the training school and lower codestone costs since now I'll only be putting her in for training once a day instead of twice a day.

A bit late but I too really liked what's now yesterday's animation.  Can't quite put into words why but I just really liked both it and the ogrin character.

I didn't get the feeling that the Orgin was depressed so much as that he was meant to be an older character, one who felt 'too old' to be catching snowflakes on his tongue and wanted to check and make sure no one was watching.

Huh.  Neither of these are to my liking but since I haven't got a Wocky to begin with I guess it doesn't really change anything for me.

The 8-bit Wocky's left foreleg is larger than its right one, which could have been fixed with a few pixels to better define the chest.  The Mutant Wocky is, as already noted, not in a special pose despite not being able to wear most clothing anyway.  Add to that that is looks kinda of slapped together to me, with no real direction to the pieces.  The mouth and eyes work well enough together, but the pincer-ears and spikes on the legs don't seem to fit.  The sort of speckling coloration on the ears is only just barely visible in the main body and a little in the legs.  The yellow-green coloration on the chest looks to have a darker outline when none of the other colors get the outline treatment.  The claws are only on the forepaws.  I like the color of the ruff, since it helps incorporate the purple in the tail, but like most other posters so far the tentacle!ruff isn't working for me.  Maybe if it at least had more tentacles in the back instead of only in the front and/or the tail had also been changed to be a large tentacle or even a mass of smaller tentacles?

My favorite is the Fall Beauty.  Not just because it's currently seasonal (or close to being seasonal, at least) but because I think the colors of the customization work best with your Acara's Golden color.

No problem LaLune!  :)

 

Hi Moga! Figment is basically this website where people from anywhere post stories, poetry, prose, fanfic, you name it; your stuff can get rated and reviewed; there's tons of contests; and they have these cool mass chats where you can talk with an actual publisher or author. It's very cool!

 

I write original stories; I'm working on a fantasy trilogy, another fantasy novel, a sci-fi novel, and two more possible fantasy series. The trilogy interlaps with my best friend's series; we even share a character. The sci-fi novel I'm co-writing with another friend; this one is actually based on a series of dreams both she and I had. And then maybe 34 poems? Yep, pretty all over the place o_O. 

Wow that's a lot of projects!  I'll admit I'm much more a reader than I am a writer--once a scene's passed through my head I have a really hard time sitting down and actually writing what I've already imagined.  Co-writing's always sounded really fun, though, since you know you have at least one super dedicated reader.  :)

Figment sounds like a really neat website; I'll have to check it out when I've got a chunk of free time to go browsing around.

Depending what settings you're using on the account you're locked out of, you may be able to use a side to friend your main and watch the Neofriends page to see when your main account ages a year.  It's not a fast way to find out your age but it might work, especially if Neo is being so slow in getting to your ticket.

Looks like I made the wrong choice in choosing to hold my TSRC shares while selling off my NAKR a few days ago.  Ah well.

Hey there, welcome to the forums!

I don't think I've ever heard of Figment but I really like fantasy and sci-fi stories.  Do you do fanfiction, original stories, or a mix of both?

As one recently-former lurker to another, welcome to the forums!

I'm well aware that this is an unpopular opinion but I think they should have just converted everyone and not had this unconverted business. I think that the rampant market for UC is so far from what it was meant to be and I think its absolutely ridiculous.

I might be completely wrong, but looking at some of the pets which were allowed to be left UC and some which weren't, I think at least part of the decision was about keeping the major players happy.

I'd say a UC Paint Brush/Morphing Potion/similar item would be nice but, given how coveted UC pets are, it'd probably be super expensive.  I feel like it'd be much more likely to get an NC item for UCing, only usable on pet-color combos that existed prior to customization.  That'd limit how much work needs to be done as well as getting in some cash for pets that would then no longer be able to apply items to all their slots.

I too have gotten this RE before.  Didn't know it added NP to the account, though; I thought it was just the toaster and getting to collect interest again.

Still down.  I'd wanted to get my pet in for another training course; too much slippage and I won't be able to get in two courses today.

If I recall right, the monopoly rules only apply to groups of players.  This is probably because with so many players across so many time zones, a single player can't corner the market for anything except items that are already in very limited supply.  But players aren't allowed to coordinate buy-outs with anyone else, since a group would have much more power over prices and supplies than an individual.

Mine's 35 but I don't sell much; not a restocker.

I think so?  I know I've certainly haggled enough in the past to make the shopkeeper quite angry but it's been so long that I honestly can't remember if I've ever been thrown out over haggling.

Agreeing with those on FC chat. If I remember right, this glitch has been around for years. Be aware that if the glitch is as I remember it, that glitched bet counts as one of your 10 bets for the current round, so work around it if you can or skip if you need all 10 bets to cover what you need covered.

Won four levels from Von Roo, sold off my remaining NAKR lots, promptly splurged on a stock that was kinda pricey but that my portfolio needs more of, and then re-organised my stocks spreadsheet into something that I think will speed up making purchase decisions.

Another NAKR update: NAKR just hit 100, for anyone who has that as their sell point or was holding on to some extra shares in hopes of seeing triple digits.

Apparently according to the Neopian Times Editorial released yesterday these two pet days are still in the works. Also the Water Bruce is no yet in the Rainbow Pool so they still must be working on it and hopefully they'll remember that bow tie. :)

Ah, thank you!  I don't usually read the Editorial but it's nice to know that Xwees and Usuls haven't been forgotten.

It still exists, and it's pretty awesome. They just totally revamped it, it's much sleeker and they essentially changed the whole site. No more sorting, houses, etc, just lots of extra goodies and snippets for Potterheads.

Ah, okay.  So still a Pottermore, just a sort of different Pottermore.  I wonder why the change.  Snippets sound like the kind of thing that can be gotten off one of the major HP wikis, where as the House Cup was... well, that probably exists on fan sites as well.  Guess it wasn't doing much to draw back users who'd already read all the available behind-the-scenes stuff and weren't planning to come back until new info was released.

I like the colors but the transparency seems inconsistent, with the far arm being visible through the body while nothing else is.

Nice to see that Bruce Day came out on Bruce Day, but now I'm wondering what happened to Usul and Xweetok day.
