The Saga of gorila_virado... on Dec. 6th they became a Red Vandagyre. Gave them a Aisha Pirate MP to become... a Pirate Aisha . Then on Dec. 22nd, they became a Blue Kau. Used an Blue Aisha MP and they became (I'm back baby!) Then today, Dec. 24th The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and she changes colour to Green!! As I wrote in my journal: Well, I guess this is a color that is in spirit with the Holiday. LOL 12/25/2019 The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and he changes colour to Biscuit!! Like a cookie? Looks like a plain cracker (banned word on Neopets, LOL) to me... this won't do! What's the matter with you? All it takes is a little faith & dust... and an Evil Lab Ray! 12/26/2019 The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and he changes colour to Cloud!! Look at that amazing collar! Totally worth it!? 1/1/2020 Happy New Year! The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and he changes colour to Invisible!! No clothes, no cool collar. It's like he isn't even there! Here he is (notice the "floating" bow) in his Gift Costume. But he can't wear any Aisha clothes or collars. That's messed up! 1/2/2020 The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and he changes colour to Blue!! At least he can wear Aisha clothes again! 1/23/2020 The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and he changes colour to Pink!! I don't think he's taking this very well, do you?

Well, TDN is a great place to start. You should be able to find ppl who have the same interests as you or Neo-goals (like getting all the game avatars, Kadoatie -feeding, customization of your NeoPet, etc.). We have friends that post about almost all the different dailies, about Battledome, and if a plot starts up-TDN or JellyNeo already put together a guide. I started with TDN first before I became active in my Neopet guild The Kindness Project (http://www.neopets.com/guilds/guild.phtml?id=4176228 ) which helps ppl who are coming back after taking a really long break as well as new ppl. So once you see something you are interested in-you can like it or eventually respond with your opinions and I bet you'll find someone who likes many of the same things you like. ? So welcome to TDN Forums and I look forward to your posts.

Hee hee hee! The ray is fired at gorila_virado... ... and she changes colour to Robot!! OMG! More clothes for Kokariia! YES! So happy! ... and she changes to a Red Usul Meh! Not finding this a cool color. MP Time? The ray is fired at gorila_virado... (My sibling, mintmilanos, sent me a Christmas Aisha MP!) ... and she changes into a Yellow Scorchio!! THIS? It looks like a cartoon character that should be singing, "Picking up a Baby Bumble Bee, Won't my mommy be so proud of me!"

The creepy Kookith quickly grabs Buzz_Light_Year and runs straight into the laboratory. from Buzzer to Purple Kepru Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.You should come back tomorrow and try again! Again, are you CRAZY? I will do a name change (withOUT your zaps) maybe...but no more zapping!

You blind Count Von Roo with a Lens Flare and they can't use weapons. You swing at Count Von Roo with the Sword of Malum! x 6 x 5 x 6 x 5 You hurl the piercing Thistleberry Pingrenade at Count Von Roo... pulsing thistleberry spikes ready to burst on contact! x 5 x 13 0 383 Damage Taken Kokariia's Damage is 0 Count Von Roo's Damage is 383 (he came in with only 180) Please, you're not even a Contender anymore, buddy! *I wanted to add this to my other post but they said I couldn't-file was too big?

RUDE! I already HAVE Count Von Roo as a Battledome Opponent!

I have one of these!!!? My Pink Eyrie on my side account: dripping_rainbows ( TKP's ALP Team Fire) and I named her Zeeza the Strawberry Spardel !

Someone at TKP (clumsyfaery) said that they joined the Order bc they need the Avatar, so I will join the Order to try to help. Most people have picked The Sway. It is getting tedious-the Never-Ending-Battle!

Or as my mom said looking over when that happened to me, "Who are those Gumbas? You have Good Fellas bullying now too?" *lol*

I did NOT like Round 9's "topic" today: Stereotypes? Really? Aren't we supposed to NOT stereotype now? Please don't tell me there are 'positive' stereotypes bc I thought we were supposed to just treat everyone equally & not make generalizations. ? So this is what my siblings & I did. Mintmilanos entered their Baby Aisha, BAHBALUU , & wrote: Stereotypes: All Babies are cute! Moonlit_danaa entered her Pirate Draik, Drago_Silvermaine , wearing a Blonde Wig, & wrote: Dumb Blonde? I think NOT! Hexagon_dragon (Baby) entered her Robot Kacheek,azula___n_n, & wrote: Robots will take away jobs? Only if YOU input it! I entered Kokariia & wrote: Stereotypes: Old Dog?! NEVER stop learning! I was asking my guild buddies & thought I'd ask friends here at TDN too to hurry and submit an Entry to BUST A MYTH and say NO to stereotyping! THANKS! 11/10/2019 So I wrote an article to The Neopian Times to tell them how horrible their 'category' of stereotyping was in the Neopets Costume Contest. Still haven't heard from them. Did see their "Note" about : Extra! Extra! The Neopian Times will return next week with a very exciting birthday issue! I know they're busy but it's kind of important... We shall see!

Hey, it's Halloween-time so I went with AWAKENED! Who is spookier than Lanie & Lillie? Good Luck, everyone!

I have to agree, Blue Moehog is NOT cool (sorry little buddy) Now if he was Stealthy... THAT would be cool! Good Luck!??

What is this? It's like a wig with another wig on top. A wig-eating Wig? If the FINS are UP over here WHY ARE THESE EMPTY SHOES DOING HERE? HOW ARE THESE SHOES STAYING ON THIS JETSAM? I think ?? should complete this outfit, don't you?

I picked the Refresh Quest & bought the FQFC (the fortune cookie that gets you 9 days of Faerie Quests) and I just got AGAIN!!! This crazy faerie can't take NO for an answer! WHY? They never let Poor Kaia, join in any Faerie games!!! Since I can never shake her off & not to completely lose out on having bought the FC, I open another Tab, push the expensive NC item (and any other NC item I would never give her ) into my Closet or even my SDB-then buy her Pink Bag & give her something I would let Minimalist Gnorbu to grind into powder. Really hasn't gone the way I was hoping, should've picked the Cartography like @Duma & @jellysundae

King Hagan listens contently to your words of wisdom..."You can do a lot worse than success like the agility of a speedy Scamander," you exclaim cleverly.He ponders all that you have said. Well, it could have been worse. What can be worse than the Money Tree being full of Scamanders? King Hagan Says: I'm not dense, youngin'. I already knew that! I'll give you 42 Neopoints for the effort, though. Perhaps a bit of studying will help you before you return tomorrow. Well, you're so WISE, tell me how to catch one!

The ray is fired at Keitheryn... Really, White? The season is Halloween, Lab Ray- not Christmas! More of THIS! NOT THIS! 10/24/2019 Lab Rat Zap Update: The ray is fired at Keitheryn... ... and she changes colour to Maraquan!! Did the Lab Ray Good Fortune Fairy read my post? How is THIS for a HALLOWEEN Look?

I wanted to add this Event to my post above but I had too much data??? So this happened... My Pirate Queen,Kokariia, scooped up 1,000 np! Wait a minute! My accountant reminded me that I need to subtract the 300 np fee so it's 700 np! Really? Loses 2 strength??? Kokariia is a Grand Master & needs 8 codestones & 24 hours to train for each 1 point advancement on her abilities (Endurance/Health, Strength, or Defense) -so yeah, I'm going maybe once a week but that shouldn't make her really weak! So you want to fight me? You want to go bro? My Kokariia is consistently beating all the TOP Faction Leaders at their Red Levels. Take that, TNT/JS Staffers! ?

King Hagan listens contently to your words of wisdom..."Pity those who underestimate vanity like the power of a Usuki Mortog," you declare thoughtfully.He ponders all that you have said. It seems he is not displeased. That's good. King Hagan Says: Well you're not the sharpest tack in the drawer, but that wasn't too bad. I give you a B! (616 out of 1000) Here is something to help you study. King Hagan hands you: Brightvale Castle Ok, back to B grades, same insult (for all of your WISDOM, can't you at least change up your insults, Buddy?), and a FREE book See, King Skarl gets it! Wise Old KingKing Hagan listens contently to your words of wisdom..."A wise friend once told me that there's nothing quite like a herd of Christmas Wockies," you exclaim wisely.He ponders all that you have said. It seems he is not displeased. That's good. King Hagan Says: Well you're not the sharpest tack in the drawer, but that wasn't too bad. I give you a B! (660 out of 1000) Here is something to help you study. King Hagan hands you: Brightvale Maps He also gives you 70 Neopoints! Hmmm, Back to B grade & FREE Book & same boring insult. Buddy, if Brightvale's Map got a Makeover, don't you think you need a Makeover too?

There is not much time left, so I guess I'll go with the Order too! Thanks, @Duma !

Kammi was a Camelior and was zapped Faerie Stahkee Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that. You should come back tomorrow and try again! And take a chance to NOT have it stay Faerie?? NO WAY! 10/28/2019 Max an Altachuck and was zapped Faerie Snorkle Hey you crazy Kokith, I'm not EVER going to take a chance to lose a Faerie Petpet!

I love that TDN allows us to discuss topics like this because we can offer different points of view and get to know not only information about the topic but we get to know TDN members and learn of aspects of them that we might not have known before and, I feel , helps me gain more respect and enjoy learning what makes different people so wonderful & interesting. So thank you, @Yuiina, for bringing this topic up and I look forward to many fun responses while I offer my own. I am Arab-American and having been raised Muslim, we have never celebrated Halloween. My American mother had participated in Halloween when she was a child during the 1970's and early 1980's and her most repeated comment or tirade about Halloween (that I find kind of funny) is: "What is the ONE thing we teach our children before they can even talk? DON'T TAKE CANDY FROM STRANGERS! Yet, we totally reverse that warning and have a holiday that encourages kids to violate that safety. Then look at what the kids say to GET the free candy that will later HAVE TO BE CHECKED (a red flag that tells you maybe this isn't a safe thing), Trick or Treat! In other words, the neighborhood children are being encouraged to demand candy or they will feel they have the "right" to vandalize your house, car, or property if you don't comply with their demands for free candy. In my view, that is encouraging bully-like behavior which shouldn't be rewarded with candy and while most children are not malicious or planning to damage your house with soap or eggings-it still is a "tradition" that encourages children to demand something rather than earning the candy or receiving it like a gift, which I find distasteful." This would be her answer whenever we wanted to go to a friend's house or a party that was for Halloween. Now, I am the youngest child and was not present for my mother's funniest interaction with someone who didn't agree with my mother's unwillingness to participate in Halloween, but my 2 older siblings who witnessed this told us how mom shut down someone who felt she wasn't a good person because she didn't want to hand out candy. It was October 1995, there were no Islamic schools in NY at that time, so my mother drove my sisters (then 5 and 2 1/2) to New Jersey every day 2 hours to the school and 2 hours back (she also taught at that school-she was 1 of the only 2 American teachers that had completed her 2 year degree in Secondary Education but the need was for her to be the ELA teacher for grades 2-9 at this school) and on the 31st-she had called our father to say that she needed to stay over her friend's house to help her watch her children after school so that her friend & fellow teacher could do the taxes of a client and would drive back the following day. So my sisters and my mother went to the friend's house and as the 3 other kids and my sisters were racing around the house, my mother & her friend are going over what my mom can make for dinner and how late her friend may be, then they both realize that it is Halloween night and kids will be coming around in their costumes for candy. My mom tells my friend not to worry-she doesn't celebrate that holiday anyway-so she'll turn off all the lights and draw the front drapes closed and just keep the children in the kitchen in the back of the house eating dinner and then send them up to bed. But my sisters and their 3 friends were too curious about the kids roaming the streets that night, and while my mom was trying to cook the dinner in an unfamiliar kitchen, Ali (4 yr.s old) or Aziza (6 yr.s old) would sneak to the front room to pull the drapes open and peek out and call in a loud whisper-"Someone looks like an orange ball-wait it has a face- they're a pumpkin!" and of course the other kids would run out to the room and take turns peeking. After having all the kids rush to the window to look at "Hey, Shaytan (the Devil) is running down the street and has a long pointy tail!" so loud that my mom came to the front room and said that was quite enough & dinner was ready so they needed to clean their hands and go to the kitchen and no more coming to the window any more! So after she got them all settled at the table, there was a loud banging on the door and a woman was wildly screaming. My mother instructed Aziza & my oldest sister to keep everyone at the table while she went to see what was the matter. My mother opens the door and a woman with 2 little boys is screaming in my mother's face, "We KNOW you're in your house ,you cheapskates! We see your brats looking out at us! How DARE you not give candy to children! Why are you SO CHEAP?!" My mother says to the woman, "Why can't YOU buy your kids candy yourself and expect everyone else to give you candy? " The woman was still angry, "What? It's Halloween! You HAVE to give kids candy!" My mom says, "This is America, and if I choose NOT to celebrate this holiday-it is MY choice. I turned off the lights which was supposed to let you know that WE are not participating. Please take your children and LEAVE." The woman starts pushing her kids to the driveway and starts cursing my mom out, to which my mother replied, "Hey lady, when it's my holiday, I don't dress up my kids and drag them to your door to beg for candy! Just respect that we have the right NOT to participate if we choose not to." " And my sisters said that there was a group of parents & children on the sidewalk that clapped and told that lady to leave my mom alone. Now, I think Neopets is a great place to enjoy this "controversial" holiday in a way that is safe. I entered my Pet, Kokariia, in JellyNeo's Costume Contest, I can go virtual trick-or-treating getting Goodie Bags that will not have tampered candy or questionable treats, and I can wish my friends to enjoy their holiday and know that they aren't people intending any harm and I learn about how others just like to have fun on this holiday. I really hope that I didn't offend anyone with my sharing a different take on Halloween. I hope that it would just give you a chuckle to see it from the "other side". ?

I've had 3rd place with the Tax Beast for over a year, so if I got Silver or Gold-that would soften the blow. I just like to complain! Well, for 10/8/2019 I have the balance of a GOOD THING Happening I ? that this nice Random Event took place as I am checking in on my Guild, TKP!

Uugghhh! Really? You needed 87,293 np from me? WHAT are you? A hairy Skeith gone wrong? An over-sized Ixi with claws for hooves? I think you are the DEVIL! 10 midnight_spell360 87,293 IT'S NOT FAIR! But life on Neopets is never fair, is it?

From SloMoe the Abominable Snowball to Royal SeeceWhoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.You should come back tomorrow and try again! Pretty good for my new Lab Rat, PrettyPixieFawna the Purple Ixi! Now if I can change his gender...might be a perfect match?
