I enjoy Trudy as a daily, as opposed to being interrupted in the middle of a timed game.
 
The toy box is gone, I did, for the most part enjoy the prizes and donated the replicas.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the NP from Trudy and was a day or two away from the 100,000 NP's, but I do enjoy as many freebies as I can get.   :rolleyes_anim:

I just did it and only got 2k for the bad luck bonus...is it going to give fewer NP?  :(
 
EDIT: To clarify I know it reset (which I'm mildly irked about, as I was up to the 19k+ part of the cycle) but apparently it's slightly glitched anyway?  I do like it working like any other daily now!

Don't be confused by the title, this is my farewell from Slushie Slinger. It is merely a satirical thread describing my life playing Slushie Slinger the past 24 days.
 
I didn't know where else to say this, so I decided to make a thread. It is at this moment that I announce my retirement fr- ♪ and girls, they wanna have fu-un ♪
 
*cough* Uhh, sorry about that, I had that song on repeat for 2 hours. Anyway, I am calling it quits on Slushie Slinger. After playing that particular game 2,000 times, it has finally come to my realization that I find it boring. Can you believe it only took 24 days to figure that out?! Time sure flies when you're not having fun (that's how it goes, right?). I have done some math and calculating to figure out how many slushies I have slinged, and man what a depressingly high number. It is quite a relief to finally st-
 
What's that? You want to know how many slushies I slinged? Okay, here it goes...
 
Over 70,000. Yes, you did read that correctly.
 
So, you might be wondering how I didn't lose my sanity after playing so much Slushie Slinger? Well, I'll tell you how. I watched all 9 seasons of The Office (yes, even season 9) and I made it all the way to the thirteenth season of The Simpsons. I think I have a problem... I even played for 6 hours on my birthday! That is quite possibly one of the saddest achievements I've made in history, and that's saying something... I mean, the thought of playing one more game of that monotonous Tapper clone makes me want to tear my hear out! Games are meant to be played to have fun, right? One of the only reasons I was playing was to get more shop points, but I'd rather keep my sanity and drop Slushie Slinger from my life. I can always keep playing Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown, they at least don't consume a large quantity of time.
 
It is quite a relief to stop playing Slushie Slinger so I can focus on more important things like watching grass grow and watching paint dry. I don't know how I even made it this far... I don't want to sling another slushie for the rest of the season...
 
Well I had a good run, but Shenkuu can still count on me to play Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Anyway, this long post really should come to an end. I feel sorry for the poor saps that read all of this... If you made it to the end, pat yourself on the back. You earned it. You have finally conquered the wall of text.
 
Since this post is mainly about how miserable I was playing Slushie Slinger, I should end on a high note:

Before you call the men in white coats...hear me out.
 
Yesterday I fed my draik 2 packed lunches to add to her gourmet foods count. I wasn't aware that those behaved the same way that gift bags and piñatas and so on do, but on seeing the blurb in the pop-up it made sense that they'd root around in the lunchbox to see what they'd got.
 
I was also a bit confused though, because gift bags and piñatas give new items, and if your pet's eaten what's in the lunchbox...well what was I going to find when I looked in my inventory? Screwed up wrappers and crumbs? lol. So I toddled off to look, and sat there like looking at the sandwich, juice and fruit that was in there...
 
My draik ate something, and if it wasn't the contents of the box...well, then it had to have been the box itself! Now everyone knows that goats will eat absolutely ANYTHING, So hence, she is clearly a goat, and as all pets will do the same...they are ALL CLEARLY GOATS.
 
 
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it
 
 
This really made me laugh though, what other bizarre things are there on Neo that I've yet to discover, I wonder!

Alrighty! Thanks guys :D I don't mind trying all the languages if there's a good chance it's going to work, but I didn't want to waste my time trying them all if it wasn't.
 
Good point there with the language understanding, Tracy, kind of a shame that there's no means to teach them to our pets, would give us more avatars and trophies to earn. :woot:
 
*tries Dutch*
 
Yay, that worked! Wow, Dutch is an awesome looking language! "view cart" becomes "winkelwagentje bekijken" in Dutch, that's way cooler!

Welcome to the Daily Neopets' Report on the Altador Cup, Round 3! Once again, I'm Miko live in the stands of the Yooyuball Stadium. Some fans are still here, but most have moved outside to celebrate a day where the leaders' momentum came to a much needed halt.

Let's start off with the Alabriss bracket where low-ranking team Lost Desert stunned sports fans and commentators alike as they managed a tie against first placed Brightvale. This came as a surprise for the Wizards as Lost Desert weren't actually in top shape leading up to the match. But a tie is a tie, and better luck next time. The other two matches were swept rather predictably as Shenkuu continued to show strength and Moltara continued to lose it - resulting in an all-out sweep in favor of Shenkuu. Terror Mountain started to slip as Kiko Lake took 3 games and only left Shootout Showdown for the Chillers.

In the Minitheus Bracket Faerieland continued their rise to glory as they swept all four games from Roo Island. It's another win for these fan favorites and their powerful performance is putting them in arm's reach of the Cup. But Mystery Island is looking to prevent that as they took 3 games against the Altador Suns, with them managing to secure the goal to get Shootout Showdown. Both teams are new to the big leagues, but their hunger is strong. Meridell ended the bracket with a near-sweep of Virtupets.

The Vaeolus Bracket had two pairs of sweeps - Darigan Citadel winning Kreludor and Haunted Woods getting decimated by Maraqua. But the match that excited everyone is the last. Tyrannia finally hit a speed bump in their journey to be the winners as Krawk Island managed to draw them out by winning Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. This however may prove futile as Tyrannia continues to be a dominating force in the bracket. And going back for a while - Maraqua's wins have finally proven that it has climbed out of their funk and are now back in the running for the cup.

Well that's all for today! There were some great games today, and also some predictable ones. Let us all see what comes next. Until next time, this is Miko signing off. Good night Neopia!

Welcome to the The Daily Neopets' Daily Report on the Altador Cup! I'm Miko, reporting from TDN HQ. Once again, sorry for being late - I had to take another chapter of the Staff Entrance Exams, and it didn't help that the ACRC suddenly popped up halfway to ask me about my interviews and to check if I had the plague...

But enough about me and my troubles, let's jump back to the Altador Cup! Today was a day of dominations and demolishment, so let's start off at the Alabriss Bracket, where sweeps were being served like slushies. Mystery Island tore apart Haunted Woods handily in the first match of the bracket, leaving the fate of the Zombies very grim. A second last-place round finish seems imminent for Haunted Woods and if they want to be anywhere near the Cup, they need to work overtime.

Brightvale continued to stand strong as the Virtupets were once again smashed back to earth. They currently have a chokehold on the lead in the bracket, but Mystery Island and Krawk Island are looking eager to snatch it. And speaking of Krawk Island, the Pirates easily took out Terror Mountain in the last match. The Chillers' performance seems to be waxing and waning randomly, and as I said before consistency is more important in the Cup than once-over performances.

And speaking of consistency, Kreludor of the Minitheus Bracket is another team that is not showing any of that. Despite being one of the best teams of Round 1, the Moons are having trouble staying in orbit. There was a glimmer of hope at yesterday's win (not sweep) against Faerieland, but that glimmer was snuffed out as the Altador Suns eclipsed them, leaving Kreludor on the dark side of hope once more. In the other matches, Faerieland picked up the pieces from yesterday's loss to outplay Shenkuu, winning all games except Make Some Noise, where the dark horse team had an advantage. And things are still looking bad for Maraqua as their fall from first to last continues, this time against Lost Desert.

In the Vaeolus Bracket, Tyrannia were as predictable as ever, sweeping Meridell despite resistance from the Knights' side. Darigan Citadel continues to stay in form as they put Moltara's fire out. The Magmas' cooling seems to have no end unfortunately. And Kiko Lake are looking as strong as before, though their loss in Slushie Slinger gave Roo Island's Rooligans some hope. After all, this was the Nearly Unbeatable Team last year, so teams are happy to take a win, however small.

That's all for today, and tomorrow's the last day of Round 2 so stick with TDN for the reports on that. I might be late again, but who knows? Until then this is Miko signing off. Good night Neopia.

FINALLLLLLLLY! I have waited TOO long for this one!! I really almost gave up!!  :laughingsmiley:  :laughingsmiley:  :rock:

Musical_Shoyru, it takes a very strong person to be able to tell people about the abuse and emotional harm that your father has caused you.  I am a devout Christian and the first thing I did after reading your comment was to say a prayer for your well being.  The second thought that came into my mind was what Jesus said about the prostitute when the people yelled for her stoning, "Let he without sin, cast the first stone."  I am so sorry that your father doesn't practice this when it comes to you.
Mistakes happen in this life and Jesus does forgive you when you come to him with an open heart asking for forgiveness; it is given.  We are human and do make mistakes, especially when we have been cornered by things that happen in our lives.
Your actions with your job seem to be a direct result of the treatment you receive from your father, but I can't judge him.  What I can do is keep you and your family in my prayers and pray that the courts and Payless are willing to work with you to make it right.
Thank you and God Bless you for your strength in sharing this. <3

So I'm not typically very open with people. I've posted a few times on here and shared a little into my, but right now I'm just overwhelmed and just need someone to listen, talk to, tell me they've been through the same thing, or maybe that I'm not so much of a horrible person...
 
Typically I don't post things like the said sentence above as I'm not attention seeking whatsoever and I feel compliments or encouragement should not be begged for, but earned.
 
(* this means there's a little more to the story)
 
So here goes my life predicament; this is quite a read, so beware;
 
 
    I moved back here to Michigan from Texas Spring 2015, I moved back into my parents (Never would have done that if I had the choice, oooo boy). I had originally moved to Texas for ministry school, I had moved out of my house in Michigan sooner than planned due to threats and emotional abuse from my father.
 
     I grew up a Christian all my life and had always had strict rules for myself, no drinking, sex before marriage, dress modestly, listen to everything your parents tell you even if you don't agree, don't cuss, go to church every Sunday, the typical strict Christian lifestyle. However, I obviously made mistakes, I drink, but don't get drunk, I have had sex before, I want to get tattoos (Biblical based ones) and I don't always agree with my parents. Again I ran into some awful emotional abuse from my father. I'm not good enough, I have a "mental problem because I don't think like him", I'm rebellious, selfish, etc. I tried and tried again and nothing could please him. The 3rd oldest girl in my family seems to hate me because of things my parents told her and we always butt heads and end up fighting (verbally). My mom doesn't love my father anymore and only stays because of the kids, he won't get a full time job and my mom has had to take loans out after loans just to pay for bills. All my siblings are scared of him and his judgement and he always seems to have so much negativity to say about you. So that more or less describes my home life
 
       In March of 2015 I had met a guy online through a video game who I am now dating and *living with currently. He came and visited me from New York in May of 2015 and then asked me out as he left on the train in June of 2015. In October of 2015 he ran into some hard times and ended up moving here to be with me, shockingly, my parents although being against living with your boyfriend, let him move in as he had no where else to go. We faced a lot of insults from his mother and step-father and a text I got from his mom that to this day I can't get out of my head "If anything ever happens to my son, you're responsible". It took us awhile, but we finally got him an Apartment in April of this year and he was able to move out. Along the way we discuss marriage, moving out together, etc, each time hitting some type of wall or objection from my parents, either it was too soon for us to be married or "moving out with my boyfriend is not even an option".
 
   So I stayed by their morals, and what mine were growing up to the T, when my boyfriend moved out I wasn't even allowed to be alone with him in his apartment, due to a mess up we had in New York of last year. I worked two jobs everyday just to afford the amount of gas it took to live in two different places, taking me to work, driving him and picking him up from work, getting groceries and then me driving home, I maybe slept 2-4 hours a night because of him working overnights and the times he needed to be dropped off and picked up. My Grandpa then died during this time period and I had to take time off work to deal with the funeral and go to the hospital and watch the doctors pretty much starve him to death even though he was trying to fight.
 
    I had two jobs; the first I nannied for two boys in the apartment that the people I worked for helped me and my boyfriend get, which seemed to *good to be true. The second was at Payless shoe-source. I had made arrangements with the people I nannied/babysat for that they would take would take part of my income each week and the father (who works at the apartment complex we moved into) would take that and pay half my rent. Long story short, he didn't pay first months rent, I had to pay more, we made other arrangements where he was giving my my full paycheck then out of the blue he said he no longer needed my services. Then I was stuck with a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment in my boyfriends name, that's $755 a month that I got FOR his kids to have space, and I just lost a $640 every two week job with rent coming due in 4 weeks.
 
   I was beginning to get more hours at payless, but then I made the worst mistake I ever could have in my life. I tried selling my belongings; games, clothes, systems, video games, movies, etc, no where I went to sell them offered enough or what I needed for all my bills, utilities and rent. So I unfortunately started taking money from work. All I could think of was my boyfriends mother's comment "You're responsible" and him being on the streets. I also knew that with the way things were getting worse at my house that I was either going to get kicked out or need to leave soon. I took the money from work and we ended up being good, I even had gotten extra income I wasn't counting on and we were set. We had enough to even do something special for our anniversary (STEALING IS WRONG I AM NOT CONDONING IT IN ANYWAY!) so I had planned a small trip that costed around $200, I NEVER wanted to take money from work again and told myself I never would, until a bill that was not supposed to come through came through and we were -$300
 
    I couldn't get a refund on the vacation, so we still went, but I had to take more money to pay for bills once again. I had no one to ask for money and no one to help me. In a whole month period I had taken a total of $800 from work. I feel like the most awful person in the world for doing it.
   
    After coming back from my trip I got a lecture from my dad about going to an amusement with my boyfriend and that I never should have, even though we didn't do anything inappropriate at all while there or on our way there and back. I then got yelled at because I didn't give them my schedule to all my jobs and that I didn't tell them where I was going when I was going some where, when I'd be back, who would be there, how long I'd be in a specific place and then to another place...... pretty much everything I ever did, which was hard to keep them updated. I then got angry and yelled back, which I know I shouldn't of, because they're my parents. I got called names; I'm mental, he told me I've been a problem for him for decades (I'm 22, so pretty much my whole life) and that he was tired of dealing with a spoiled brat like me. So I couldn't take it, I tried pleasing them by not moving in with my boyfriend and doing what was right and it didn't work and on top of that, I never wanted to be home. When I was there no one would talk to besides my younger brother, if they did it was petty talk or they were yelling at me and no one ever wanted to do anything with whatsoever. So I moved out that night. (last week)
  
    Last Thursday I went into work and they had suspicions about me taking money and even though they had no concrete proof, I turned myself in. I claimed everything I took because I felt like it ultimately was the right thing to do, weather or not it meant a worse sentence or not. Payless had a choice to settle the debt between us or involve authorities, and unfortunately they involved authorities and I was arrested, rightly so. The investigator and police officer kept telling me that they didn't think what I did was right, but that they were in shock and awe that I told them everything upfront.
   
    I was booked and told I had no bail, I finally found out that my crime was actually a misdemeanor and not a felony and was given a bail with a court date the 21st of this month. My brother paid to get me out.
 
    Since I've been moved out and out of jail my father wants nothing to do with me, he believes I should go to prison and serve a full sentence and he will not help me with anything from helping me with bills to letting me use a black trash-bag to move my clothes from his house. My mother on the other had is trying to help me with legal issues and just being there for me, although she to gets after me as well as my father that "I'm living in sin, I'm choosing to be a rebel, I wanted to be an adult and have freedom and this is what it looks like, no help from anyone, you're on your own."   (A side note I don't believe that! People still help each other. I know I try to help people!)
 
   So although I ultimately had good intentions, I still did something wrong by stealing. I was motivated by fear and the thought of the man I love getting kicked out on the streets because of me (Before anyone says anything, he does help will bills and works quite a lot, he works 40+ hours a week). Now I'm just trying to take this one day at a time and make sense of everything, I'm praying to God I'll get offered a plea deal which I was told by my mother who talked to the accusing attorney, they offer them 80% of the time.
 
   I have a hard time sleeping and eating and just smiling, not just because I feel so hopeless, but when I do feel the urge to do those things I feel that I don't deserve them and should suffer for what I did. I am definitely doing a lot better since the official arrest day, but I'm still so worried. With no job and so many things on the line, I just don't know what to do.
 
   I also wanted to be honest with everyone here who I'm friends with and or know in passing, I feel like it's a good thing to get this off my chest and to also let people that may or may not be my friends on here decide weather they still want to be after I did such an awful thing.
 
If you made it this far, thanks for listening! I appreciate it!

OMG!
 
First of all, if I ask anything you don't want to answer, feel free to not answer. And now to my shock and reply!

Ok, no offense intended, but I believe your father is the one who needs to be in jail, for browbeating you so badly! (Emotionally bullying for those who haven't heard the term before)
 
Sounds like you've lived mostly a REALLY good Christian life. I can tell you've tried hard up to now. Your dad imho, is going waaaaaaaaaaaay too far with his criticizing.  I'm sure HE'S MESSED UP in his lifetime. I know dads are supposed to be more defensive of their daughters, (generally speaking here) but I completely disagree with the group of either parent, that believes needlessly SHAMING their kid, son or daughter, is acceptable.
 
I'm sorry you're in this position. At least you tried to make up for your mistake(s) as best as you could. Your dad should've been more supportive. Disappointed? Sure, but supportive never the less. But it sounds to me like he's the kind of parent who's worried about appearances. You know, what people in "HIS" family do and how their actions "reflect on him" to others. Is he like, really nice and thoughtful in public? The two-faced kind? Or does he belittle others in public as well?
 
The CHRISTIAN thing to do, kids get stuck with honor thy mother and father, and respect your elders and such. But, I believe it 3was Jesus who said, that it is better to tie a millstone around one's neck and cast themselves into the pond, than to scandalize a child. Turn the other cheek... is one that I feel should be that if you're gonna hold your kids to it, you should hold yourself to it as well.
 
Here's one more opinion. You've done MORE than just honoring your folks, even your dad. You may respect him, sounds like you fear him. A child should NOT have to fear either parent. Frankly, I agree with your using the term "abuse." Unfortunately, there's not a lot the law CAN do about emotional abuse, words and all. But, you could inquire about programs that might help your mom. I don't know how old the kids are, but I dunno.... there are abuse shelters and stuff out there, but I'm afraid those mostly cater to women and children, since I am neither, I have no experience with those organizations.
 
My dad became quite the ogre too over the years. So I have some experience being on the receiving end of crap like that. Unfortunately, I stood up to him, a lot. I had to learn how his mind games worked and then not be phased by them, at least not during an argument. I say it's unfortunate, because your dad sounds MUCH more direct and uncaring than my dad was. The direct kind, HMPH! A TRUE Christian forgives, and gives of themselves.  You probably know that already, since it sounds like you've done such things. But your dad, well, where are the nuns with yardsticks when you need them to mete out some well deserved punishment!
 
Your dad is not acting like a Christian. I'm sorry to say that, but what he's doing, well it makes my blood boil. Sure you've made a few missteps, you're human. Perfection is held by God alone, wouldn't you agree?
 
We ALL are imperfect beings imho. More beautiful for the smaller flaws perhaps, but big ugly gashes are still big ugly gashes. I'm afraid your dad fits into my view of what a big ugly gash is. But that's just my gaze through an imperfect prism.
 
My advice is this. Talk to your lawyer, or SOMEONE, about what programs exist for county, state or federal that could help get you out of your parents place. You need to get away from that environment. Honestly? I'd recommend your mom and the kids do the same. Your dad sounds like a volcano. He needs help, and frankly, given that my mom did the leaving when I was a kid, I can't believe I'm recommending the same, but yeah. Your mom, as a parent's priority is taking care of her kids. It's your dad's job too, but he's vacating that imho. Sounds like your family needs help in general... I DON'T know what exactly things are like, but start small, go with asking your lawyer about programs for battered women. I believe they deal with verbal abuse too. If your lawyer can put you in contact with someone at the county, they can help you from there. If your lawyer is useless, check out the county courthouse, or wherever your county health and human services thing is. Ask to see someone who helps with abuse victims. It should start moving from there.
 
I'm really sorry you're having to go through all of this. :( I hope and pray that things get better. Here's one last "line", "God helps those who help themselves". I think you seeking help is the part about helping yourself. Best of luck!!!!

I think there's a thread somewhere for buying and selling, I don't know where it is though. I'm sure a mod can help you out if this is in the wrong place though. :yes:
 
I have 5 pieces of the map kicking around, looking at this, compared with what you've got I've got the bottom row, the middle left, and the top right pieces. I'm happy to give you the ones you need as I've got no use for them, I've got the full map already, and I really can't be bothered with trying to sell them, as you yourself say, most people want to buy the full map, not individual bits, and the trading post confuses me. I bought those bits not realising I already had them :rolleyes_anim: I don't want anything for them, save your NP for the harder to get pieces.
 

Cheaters? That's...really stupid. Hopefully they'll do something about it because I'm not working my butt off for Krawk Island to lose to them! 

From their notice board, released about 20 minutes ago. Word is spreading like wildfire.
 
What do you guys think of the new format?
 
http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=158102691

Welcome back to The Daily Neopets' (hopefully) Daily Coverage on the Altador Cup, once again I'm your reporter and host Miko live at the Yooyuball Stadium - and I must first thank our producer Mouseykins for filling in for me when I had some issues yesterday.


Anyway back to the games and let's start off with the Alabriss Bracket. The Darigan Citadel Minions were beaten by the Shenkuu Ninjas - and once again the losing team won Yooyuball but lost everything else. Following that, it was another sweep for Tyrannia as the powerhouse team easily won against the Mummies, though in close fashion. The Mystery Island Natives finally won a match - against Virtupets - with only a loss in Make Some Noise. We tried to catch up with the Techo we interviewed last time, but he was too bamboozled to give us a statement.


The Minitheus Bracket started off rather predictably - Krawk Island continued their winning streak while Haunted Woods continued their losing streak. The Zombies really really need to get their act together if they want to get out of their slump. The next match however was more surprising - last years nearly undefeated champions Kiko Lake lost against Faerieland in the second match. Kiko fans were devastated, as they were hoping for another clean sweep this year. The win for Faerieland has bolstered spirits - the cheers for the team lasted for all night. And finally the Altador Suns staged quite a comeback as they defeated Moltara, finally living up to standards set by pre-game predictions.


The sweeps continued in the Vaeolus Bracket. Kreludor once again showed great form as they handily beat Roo Island, but considering the team's standings, it did not come as much of a surprise. Terror Mountain cracked under pressure once more as the Meridell Knights routed them in all four events. They currently share the worst performance of this year's games with Haunted Woods and if they want to get back to last year's standards, they'd better shake the cobwebs off.


But the big shock of the day happened between the Brightvale Wizards and the Maraqua Mermaids. Maraqua were looking unstoppable, with large-margin wins against Terror Mountain and title contender Kreludor. Brightvale itself had quite a strong showing the past two games but they were the underdogs coming into the match. And the domination was seemingly set to continue, as Maraqua shot out Brightvale in Shootout Showdown. But the Wizards aren't called Wizards for nothing and they staged an almost magical comeback. Fueled by sugary slushies and a win in Slushie Slingers, Brightvale fans brought the roof down and took Make Some Noise. Bolstered by the efforts of fans, the team did not disappoint and a victory in Yooyuball took the wind out of Maraqua's sails. Brightvale fans were elated - chants of "Wizards banish Mermaids!" can still be heard up to this very moment.


And that wraps up today's coverage of the Altador Cup. This day really showed that we should expect both the expected and the unexpected. This is Miko signing off. Good night Neopia!

Sorry for being such a noob... but does it always say Bonus on Yooyuball? Or is there something special about today?
 
This is my first AC as well!! Go Krawk Island!!!

From now until June 29th, participate in Altador Cup XI to rank up and earn points for the prize shop at the end of the season!
 
Let the games begin!

Oh! I didn't think of that, maybe I did as I did spin that yesterday... Actually, thinking about it, that's definitely where it came from as I landed on the trilobyte and that gives "food" items. Mystery solved by Detective Panthersclaw! :D
 
Lakecat, such a generous offer! xD While sorely tempted, I think, on reflection, I'll let you hold onto your impressive booger Grensa collection. :laughingsmiley:

Update on my Top Gamer avie progress: 
 
My High Scores
 
You have achieved 246 high scores!
 
Thanks to Scoobert's suggestion about IE...yes yes, I sacrificed my arm and played the 3DVIA games on Internet Exploder, so I guess I'd better eat my words as well as my arm now. :laughingsmiley:
 
Just 4 away now... :O
 
One of those will be an easy one with Slushie Slinger once the AC starts. I played the mirror game and was truly terrible at it, but managed to score some points so I'll be able to do it again. Dice-a-Roo's likely to be one of the others, that's just going to take time. Potentially Shapeshifter...I'm struggling to understand how to play that, but I got to the 3rd level yesterday which was further than I'd managed previously, so it's coming. Kiss the Mortog, Tyranu Evavu, Grumpy Old King...just got to keep plugging away and I'll get there with one of these eventually! :woot: EDIT: Ooh! Got a surprise addition with the NC Shopping Race sponsored game, wasn't expecting that to work! :D
 
So just 3 to go!  :woot: :woot: :woot:

I play on my phone sometimes, during downtime.  Here's a tip: playing level 3 is the fastest way to earn 50k/day.  There's no tutorial on that level, and you are guaranteed to get 1000np each time you play (You need 2000 points in 10 moves; if you do 3 matches for all 10 moves, you'll earn a minimum of 3000 points)

I finally got into the Magma Pool! I made a spreadsheet and everything and finally got to paint a pet!

That's awesome!   Congrats, I play everyday and got to the last die once and lost.  i haven't been close to it since.  One day though!   :)

Happy Neobirthday/anniversary Scoobert!  What an awesome avatar to get on your special day!!

I play on occasion. Mainly on Facebook. I just play Level 1 over and over, until I reach the 50K NP daily limit. If I remember correctly, the Ghoul Catchers "reset" time is either 4 pm NST or 5 pm NST. I think it is 4 pm NST now, but with the time change in the fall, it will change to 5 pm NST. Or, it could be the other way around. It's been awhile since I played it. I do know it is not 2 pm NST.

I hope they wait a few more days, I'm almost at the last day but lost count so I don't know exactly how many more! I do wonder what the change will be.
 
To be more on topic, I haven't really paid attention to it, but so far I haven't noticed this happening to me. I'll pay a bit more attention now that I know this -could- potentially happen.
