Welcome to TDN forums! I do not post a lot on here but I am on the Dailies page, well, daily haha. So I lurk often and browse the chat topics when I have some extra energy.

That's so cool that you still have your original account. I am not really sure what happened to my original account, but it doesn't exist any more and when I search my old Neopets' names, they don't exist any more either. But I've had my current account for 10.5 years now.

I am sorry this happened to you! I always worry about inadvertently doing the same as I have a variety of beloved mutant pets myself (no Lupe altho I've always loved them).

IDK if you haveNeopets Premium but I got a couple of my mutant pets from the yearly colour changing perk. I was also able to get a species change out of it (thus my mutant acara) by selecting a colour that wasn't available to the current pet I had. Since Neopets couldn't offer that colour to me, they offered for me to choose any species AND colour combo that I wanted. 

All I have gotten is mummified Jelly  I do not feed mummified jelly to my pets lol so kinda a bummer.

At first I thought we were going to be getting some new kind of zombie plot though which was kinda cool (just in terms of having some new event going on) but I am guessing thats not the case since no one else is getting mummified jelly every day haha.

I am especially excited for Illusen Day & Uni Day (especially as I have a Uni - although he's already the perfect colour to me - Woodland).

One that seems to be largely undercelebrated is Chomby day! Even though I turned my Robot Chomby into a Mutant Acara (my dream pet), I've honestly always missed having a Chomby since then and would like to have another one some day. I am starting now on some art projects that are Chomby related in the hope that they'll make it into the art gallery or perhaps I can get a poem in. I submitted one for Dr. Sloth Appreciation Day, which I thought was pretty good, but I may have submitted it too early because it wasn't selected. I think at the time I thought, "submitting 2 weeks prior to print seems reasonable" but have since read TNT staff on the boards saying they choose the day before or even the day of, so the last ones to be submitted are the most likely to be sifted through as they don't want to scroll back pages upon pages to find an entry. I get that, even though it goes against everything in my deadline-driven journalism and creative writing background haha.

The chat boards on Neopets can be a vacant place, especially depending which board you post on. I find the "Fan Clubs" and "Help Board" to be a couple of the most active (other than NC/custom) aside from the Premium boards, which are very active in the general realm. It can be frustrating trying to do anything on those boards other than advertise guilds and customization chatting lol. But sometimes TDN has a little more insight to offer as there are regulars here that keep an eye on the boards and help when they can.

I recently forgot my window and had to re-find it as I adopted out my Magma pet that I had made yearrrrrs ago. It actually wasn't too hard, took me a couple dedicated weeks.

As far as the secret to being allowed in, I have heard many murmurings of it, but nothing confirmed as to the hows and tos. I hope someone comments on here with some insight because I am genuinely interested in knowing as well!

For a candy Neopet, I would like to know what a candy Kougra would taste like (as a candy, as you said, not a Neopet, lol). A close second would be a candy Scorchio - they somewhat look like cotton candy. If it were the holidays, a refreshing peppermint Ruki would be nice, too.

As for the chocolate Neopet, a chocolate Kiko or chocolate Jubjub would have to be my go-to. 

Apparently my answer is all of them, haha. I have quite the sweet tooth at the moment.

It's not a grey area at all. They have stated several times that you can enjoy whatever a random event gives you on a side account as it is just that: a random event! 

You don't have to donate/contact TNT if you were to win or if a random event gives you an item/nps while on your side account.

Thank you for giving me some peace of mind in this swirling ocean of uncertainty haha. I was panicking at first wondering if I needed to proactively start shifting all of my stuff to new accounts thinking the main AND side would be frozen. I would obviously be sad about NP and items but not really as much those as I'd be upset about my pets as I am attached to them all at this point (which is the only reason I have a side account, I end up keeping all of my "project pets".

*ends dramatic antics* In all seriousness though, I appreciate you taking the time to answer a question you've probably already answered too many times. I did try to look back through old threads and Google'd my question but a lot of the people weighing in with their opinion seemed to end their posts with uncertainty &since they were old no one could bump them to update what the outcome of their situation was. 

If for any wild reason I were to win the lottery, or have anything happen to my account(s) purely related to this incident, I'll be sure to update everyone with TNT's message/reasoning. But I feel pretty solid with your response so at least the worrying has ceased.

tldr; thank you lol.

Thank you for your insight. For now I am crossing my fingers that I *don't* win so hopefully it's a non-issue and non-noticeable LOL. But if there was ever a time I would actually win a lottery or something like that, I feel like my "lucky stars" are the type that would make it so in a stressful way such as this. 

I recently logged into my side account and immediately upon logging in, I got a random event where a Wocky just out of the blue gifted me a lottery ticket / numbers already chosen for the Neopian Lottery. I know TNT rules state REs on side accounts are OK, but there is also an explicit rule that states playing the lottery on side accounts is considered cheating.

Should I be worried about my accounts getting frozen? Both my side account and my main one? If it's any consolation, I have hardly ever played the Neopian Lottery (let alone won) and thus hadn't/haven't bought any tickets on my current (or side) account.

I use Chrome and it asks if I'd like things on Neopets translated all of the time. It especially always asks with items I have brought up in their own little pop out tab or whenever my Neopet has a response to something I've fed it or read it. Even though the tabs are definitely in English already, it offers to translate it to English for me and I always decline lol. I've always wondered what language it was insinuating it needed to translate from.

Hello!

Just wanted to say hello and comment on how nice of a gift giveaway this is that you're doing on TDN. It has given me the great idea to do something on TDN whenever I amass enough items to be able to gift to others.

Welcome back! I did not know you when you were here before as I was not here - I was an occasional lurker though for some time before I finally made an account. You will find many things are likely as you left them, but there are some changes (on here and Neo) that have occurred over time as well. Nothing too wild, though.

I find between these forums, my guild, the Neopets general boards+premium boards, there is usually someone(s) to have a good conversation with.

Here are some links to shops selling the Pirate Krawk Morphing Potion that I found using the SSW:

Hopefully that helps!

edit: nvm. I see you found one.

Wow that's more quests than I've ever had in all of my time playing Neopets. I'd say you're lucky +the pyramids playing helped generate the potential for them to happen! I was recently gifted a quest fortune cookie that I have yet to try out - I am waiting until I can do some switching of pets around on my accounts in case I get a FFQ so I can use it on my Buzz as that is one of the avatars on the "to-do" list. My side account isn't old enough to transfer one of my current painted pets to it in exchange for the Buzz though.

However, there have been days when I've had a lot of REs in quick succession due to being online more and visiting more pages on Neopets. But my latest RE was my pet randomly losing a level and going to -1 (it is a new pet) so I am happy to hear on the other side of the coin there are good REs blessing Neopians left and right haha.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat Josephine. Cats (and many other pets) truly come to be family, sometimes more than some of the humans in our lives. 

I've never won anything but play intermittently. I'll go through a phase of wishing (2 sessions per day, 6 or 7 wishes each time), and then after nothing ever happens, I'll get discouraged and quit for a while, until going back to try again.

I'm currently a freelance digital content creator; so I write news articles/take photos and sell them to local news outlets, take photos for private clients (engagements, businesses, etc.), and I am also for hire to do digital marketing, including video, audio, social media, etc packages that the client can use after my service to them has concluded. For example, last summer former US General Tommy Franks employed me to come and help shoot a documentary of a leadership institute camp he holds for promising youth each summer in Oklahoma. I got in a van with other camera crew/editing/producing folk, we drove down, did all the filming and photography and interviews, and turned around an edit within a day or two before we came back home and went our separate ways. The one thing I really don't know how to do well is graphic design, but otherwise a pretty strong communications person. It's a great gig when I'm in-between jobs, as I am now, but I can't really sustain the bills with it and there is no medical/vision/dental benefits or 401K lol.

My dream job would to be a novelist living in Northern California, like Anne Rice or something lol. Or a professional painter.

@hbw Have you tried downloading the episodes to your device and watching that way? That way you can watch offline without streaming. You just have to be able to download them.

I did not know that was an option! I might just have to try it because I love the Star Wars franchise. We currently try watching stuff via streaming off of my playstation. Netflix always works (well, not always, sometimes it's too slow or the picture quality is all blotchy lol but usually works well enough). My favorite "Star Wars" thing to ever come out thus far though has been the Clone Wars. Ahsoka Tano has my heart forever and ever lol. From everything I've heard, The Mandalorian has potential to be one of my favorites though as well. Truly hoping we are able to get it watched sooner rather than later.

I did venture out to the movies to see the newest Star Wars film a week or two ago. I was a little let down by it overall, but still loved the movie and all of the Star Wars movies.

I have tried watching The Mandalorian 4-5x, I have at least been able to glimpse Baby Yoda in the first episode - but for some reason Disney+ won't stream properly for me (I live VERY rurally out in the country, don't even have cell phone service out here and only have 1 internet option, which is quite slow), so I have had to make due with the adorable memes. 

Do you have your potion already? If so, here are the following instructions I found:

Once you have bought your potion and are ready to use it, place it in your inventory along with the original wearable item you would like to dye. Then go to Dyeworks in the NC Mall. There, you will find all the selected NC wearable items you can use the potion on. Click on the item you'd like to dye. You must already own these items, in order to use the Hue Brew Potion on them. There are 3 selected dye colors for each wearable item. Once the potion is used on a wearable item, it will then duplicate to a random color. As long as you have a Hue Brew Potion and the original selected wearable item from the Dyeworks shop, you can dye the NC item as many times as you want.

You haven't missed out on much. I have not missed even one day this month and all I've gotten is literal rotten food and other rubbish.

Sadly the Facebook login option never worked for me and I was never able to sync it to my profile so I am no help there.

However, something similar happened to me a few months ago. I deleted my cookies and had forgotten my password bc it always kept me logged in/auto logged me in. I didn't know it but when I signed up for Neopets with my new account in 2013 I had used a work email to set up my account (no idea why, doesn't seem wise lol). I had never changed it, and left that job YEARS ago, so the email was no longer even valid, therefore I couldn't reset.

I sent in a ticket and explained my situation. No one got back to me so I tweeted at them about it, and immediately got a reply via Twitter and a reply to my email and they restored my account right away. They did want to know what email it was I could have used that was no longer valid to try to verify that way. Honestly I didn't know it was an option and gave them a bunch of other potential emails I have had over the years, and they still restored it (thankfully).

TLDR; send in a ticket, if they don't reply, tweet at them.

You are so right. Glad you were able to catch it before it went through. I once panicked and thought I put a Nermkid in there for like 40k under its value on accident. Thankfully sales history was there to inform me that I did not mess up and it was another item, appropriately priced, that I had set for that amount. *wipes sweat from forehead*

nah, haven't you seen inside out? sadness is healthy and normal

at least thats what i tell myself

see, if i entered my lab ray pet and then got that colour in a zap immediately afterwards, i would be soooo choked

I probably will quit zapping if I win! I feel ethical quandries with zapping even though it isn't real life LOL.

Also to reply to the bit about sadness being healthy and normal, I totally agree. However, Grey-painted pets definitely seem to be dealing with something a little more permanent and deeper than healthy sadness. The older and more in touch with my chronic mental health obstacles I've gotten, the less appeal the grey colour has had to me for neopets - but I remember when I was a kid they were always my favorite. Nowadays, it's definitely mutant/stealthy/wraith types that are my favorite.

Welcome! I have been a member of TDN for a few years but just started posting. I've also been playing neopets since the third grade lol, I am able to navigate the site and accomplish things with much more focus nowadays.  I have also tried spending some time on the neopets forum on the actual site and also found it a bit unexciting haha.
