Thanks for the tips!
 
The mirror games that I've not played either don't work, or, in the case of Wheeler's Wild Ride, work but don't send your score >8( That's so unfair :laughingsmiley: 
 
I took another peek at Scoobert's big post in your thread, I have an old version of Safari on this laptop... :shiftyeyes_anim:  I'd rather eat my own arm that use Internet Explorer, so let's hope I get to 250 before that becomes necessary! :laughingsmiley:
 
I'm trying Chariot Chase again. I'm really, REALLY bad at it. I run out of time before I've got once around the track, but with a few more tries I'll hopefully manage it. How many laps do you need before you get a score? I'm really hoping I don't need more than one :rolleyes_anim:

Huge congrats on getting it! Especially on such a horrible game, too! You've definitely inspired me to work towards this avatar though, I've increased my games total from 105 to 107 already! :woot: Lol ><

Jellysundae, you are 10 away from the top gamer!!!!!  How awesome you are!  105 games in one day, you are amazing.  I know you got this and I will celebrate with you!   

Haha yep, you're my motivator :D I'll def dip my toe into kadding sooner or later, it's only a matter on time. Right now I'm working on the Top Gamer avatar, inspired by this thread. I'd played 105 games on Monday, check out my count now b)

I joined Altador, as always, my favorite land and favorite team and I will always support them!
 
So, here is a rant from me; I wonder why JS made such rude comments about Altador! First "Why So Smug?" on the pre-sign up team info, then "Altador’s 12th place finish in AC X was one of its better performances, which says a lot about the team’s caliber." and "Are they content to be remembered as the hosts of the Cup? Sure seems like it.", just a few sentences from the info on the team sign up page. Okay, though they have obviously done well in the past, generally Altador tends to not be one of the more popular teams. This is a bit confusing to me, considering if it wasn't for Altador, we wouldn't have the Altador Cup. In any case, my point is if not many people join and play for a particular team, of course it's not gonna do as well. However, even if that is not a factor, or it was really the team itself deciding how to play, I still think it's unfair to just count them out or make those types of comments. JS at least could have said something like 'Are they content to be remembered as the hosts of the Cup? We shall see.' to acknowledge it is possible things could change, instead of just writing them off. I read the descriptions for all the teams and I don't think any were as harsh as the one for Altador, even for the teams that didn't do as well last year.
 
By the way, I don't think there's anything wrong with being content to be the hosts of the cup, maybe they just have fun participating, it's still an unfair comment.
 
Pardon me, I'm just really loyal to Altador and will always defend them.
 
Okay, I'm done now.

Hey, congratulations! Knew you'd do it.
 
Definitely not, for example my listed score for Double or Nothing is 320 but the "jackpot" is 5120. I think there's probably a minimum amount that you need to get before the score gets counted. So collecting 1 NP in Dice-a-Roo is probably not enough.

Posting the link is perfectly fine!
 
Congratulations on getting this avatar. When I was working on it we still had the New Game challenges and those helped me a ton when they brought out a new game to play. It took some time, but in the end I got my shiny avatar and that's all that mattered to me. :)

Woo-Hoo! You did it! I knew you could! Glad you were able, too, with several games being "unavailable". Make sure to post here, http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/42898-avatars-what-have-you-got/page-461, on "Avatars: What have you got?"

OMG!  I got it on the Buzzer Game.
 
Thank you my biggest cheerleader.  :)

Update: I've fed 20 Kadoaties! Yay!

I got the Drackonack avie! I bought two of them and lined up cheese, drac, cheese, drac, cheese, drac. (Oh, and I didn't use vegan cheese and cheese. I just took out a bunch of items with cheese in their names for use.) 
 
And when I refreshed like crazy, both eat the cheeses. I've never gotten an avatar this quickly before, and now I'm up to 250 avatars!!! WHEEEEEEEEEE. 

I fed my first Kadoatie! And it wasn't as hard or complicated as I thought it would be. I suppose it's because I'm on so late, I managed to feed the Kadoatie even though I refreshed late. Only 74 more to go...

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!   :)

Congratulations on the article!  It was really helpful to me, and I found two more petpets that I would love to own.
 
I do hope CQ can correct and add the pics, but I just looked them up and "fell in love"  :)

That list is going to be a big help to me, so thanks for linking to it, I don't click around enough to find these things myself. I've only played 105 games, so got quite a way to go towards having any kind of chance at this avatar!
 
Hope the OP discovers the elusive game that they need to get to 250 :thumbsup:

Hey! flpatsfan, I noticed you have a score of 200 for Terror Mountain Tilt. It's on the high-score table for that game. Did you get your "Top Gamer" avatar? If so, congrats!
 
EDIT: And I noticed you scored 23 in Shenkuu River Rush for 17th place on that high-score table, enough for a Bronze trophy! And, because I'm not a robot, I noticed you did get the Bronze! Congrats on that!
 
EDIT EDIT: I didn't see a score for The Last Blast. I'm not great at that game, but I believe you can get enough to post a score, and, if so, that should give you 250 games played. Were you able to get that game to load? The Buzzer Game should be easy to play, too, well easy to play to get a score. Tying "cheese" will allow you to see your cursor and changing your browser's zoom will make the wire easier to see and follow. I'm rooting for ya!

To get the top gamer avatar, all you have to do is send a score, any score, for 250 games. When I mean any score, it could even be 1 point. You don't have to be an expert at the game. Just enough so to send a score to earn you 1NP.
 
As for the Shockwave games, very few can get them to work and most cannot. No known reason, at this time, and no general fix. firefox will let you play the Shockwave games, but will not post your scores. Has been happening for a very long time. Again, no known reason why. Chrome, if using the latest version, stopped supporting several plugins, last September. Shockwave was one of them, along with Unity Web Player. Chrome will not load those games. An earlier version may work, but I haven't tried it. Oh, and Unity Web Player is used to play Ghoul Catchers on FaceBook, so Chrome will not load GC, either.
 
Some have had luck with Shockwave games using the last version of Safari, 5.1.7 for Windows, Internet Explorer, and Opera. I never used Opera, and I know they made some changes/updates, so I cannot confirm if Opera still works. If using Internet Explorer, make sure you add "neopets.com" (without the quotes) to Internet Explorer's "Compatibility View Settings". If you don't, IE may tell you that Shockwave isn't installed, even though it is (sad "Usul"). However, that is no guarantee the Shockwave games will still load. Safari doesn't require anything special, and I do not know about Opera, but I don't think it does, either. You may have to refresh the pop-up game page several times (10-30 minutes), just to get it to load,especially if you just see a blank/black game window, that is what most people get, myself included. If after refreshing for that long and a Shockwave game doesn't load, then those games may never load. Just so you may already know, Shockwave games (there are eight), may be out of reach.
 
For the 3DVIA games, (Shenkuu River Rush, The Last Blast & Terror Mountain Tilt), they only seem to post scores with Internet Explorer. Again, "neopets.com" must be in Compatibility View Settings. To get your score to post, however, you must play the game on the "main" Neopets game page, and NOT from the pop-up game window. When the 3DVIA games load, they load in both the pop-up window and the "main" game page, for some reason. Play in the "main" game page, and your score should post. It will make sense the first time you see that. You might want to download/install 3DVIA from the Dassault web page. A google search should find it. If not, I can post the link I used. 3DVIA hasn't been updated since 2009, so it should work on your Vista computer. You could also try right-mouse clicking on the install file and selecting "Troubleshoot Compatibility". That might get it to install. If not, my apologies for wasting your time. And, with those games, as many don't play, it is possible to get a trophy, just by posting a score, especially on Game Reset day. If you can get it to work, that will be 3 more games off of your list.
 
Best of luck! If you have anymore questions, please post.

I'm sure there must be some non-shockwave games you haven't played yet. Advertisement games also count. Because you're going for the top gamer avatar, I was curious to see how many games I've sent scores for. Last time I checked was ages ago, but over the requirement for the Top Gamer avatar. Well! I was quite surprised when the counter said I had submitted scores for 443 games(not to bad after 12 and a half years. lol). Though this DOES include shockwave games, as I used to play some of them before they stopped working. As has been mentioned, on-site games that are not flash can count too.
 
Anyway, Neopets is CHOCK FULL of games. Even if it's a game you dislike, Play it enough to send a score and you'll get that avatar! XD I took a look at your ULU, and 249 games in 6 months is quite impressive! I don't know how many games are currently active and non-glitching, but I'm sure you can find some that you probably haven't played yet!
 
I WOULD have suggested Bilge Dice, but I went to double-check, and that non-flash game is also Not up right now. :( A shame, if you play that game well, it CAN be a bit of an NP-maker. Of course my win average was something like, 1 win for every 5 losses. lol But it was a pretty fun game, I hope it's restored someday.
 
Oh well, good luck! Hmm... I forget, but perhaps a Brain Tree Quest, might score you a game credit? I think the Test Your Strength does as well, in case you haven't tried those yet. ;)

250 works fine. Yeah, the Shockwave games aren't working - personally I'm using Chrome and I can't even load them. I tried Opera as well but that didn't work either. Other people have said that even if they get the game to load, they can't send scores. I don't know how long it's been like this, but I wouldn't expect a fix soon. 
 
The only thing you can do is go through the games list and search for the outlier. Like I said, 250 will work fine so you just gotta find that one game you haven't played yet. Remember that non-flash games like Sakhmet Solitaire, Shapeshifter, etc. count towards your games too.

The NT just published my latest article : 
 
15 Cutest Petpets For Less Than 5000 NP 
http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=570514&issue=733
 
but I'm angry with CQ - The editor - because I asked her twice and very nicely to add images of the petpets .. yet she didn't ..
 
  
 
 

Good Luck!  I think that is great, especially with a boss who has your back 100%.  
if you like it, you will do really well!!
