I like the look of the Silver Xweetok but it also looks ENTIRELY different from every other silver pet, which bugs me. It shouldn't because I don't have nor want a Xweetok, let alone a silver one, but like... I like consistency.

OMG, I love the Plushie color on this pet! I've never yearned to have a Vandagyre before, but this makes me want one!!!

It's not mandatory. 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts, and is definitely recommended, but you don't have to use it if you're willing to accept being at a higher risk for being hacked.
It also don't required you to use your phone to play. The way 2-Factor Authentication works is that you link your account to an app on your phone. That app generates a code for you to enter at login, meaning that anyone trying to log into your account would need access to your phone. And since I've seen some people concerned about this, Neo doesn't get access to your phone number.

Neopets introduced Two Factor Authentication, often known as 2FA, to the website today. This feature offers an extra layer of security, asking you for an additional code, when logging in to your account(s).
To set it up, head to your preferences and enable the new feature. A set of instructions will come up that you will need to follow, including downloading an Authenticator App on your mobile device if you do not have one. Once enabled, your app will provide you with a six digit code that you will need to enter to be able to log in.

Please note that you should know your current email address and password associated with your respective accounts before enabling 2FA.

lol Poogle on crack.   The ice is nice.

Is it weird that I really like the eye tiles because they remind me of a lot of gecko eyes?  Like this gargoyle, for example.  
I like the concept of the mosaic ones, but I think they'd be better as like decorations than pets, if that makes sense?  
Also loving the thief outfit.  It's really cool.  Nearly makes me want a techo now.  

Mosaic is one of those colours that's very hit-or-miss, but this is definitely a hit. Everything's nicely defined, and I like that the tiles in the eyes aren't super overt.

NGL, i really wanna go bake some brownies or something now... 😋 I especially like the ears, that looks like chocolate ganache!

Oh wow, I love this Toy design a lot. A bit different than most other Toy Neopets, without many bright shiny colors, but it works perfectly for a mythical creature like a dragon! The segmented tail is a really nice touch, keeps it from looking too much like a recolored design. Very well done!
And this outfit, oh my goodness, it looks like a whole new color!! The beautiful giant wings, the four arms, the spikes and claws, even the rich red and cream yellow color all work amazingly! If I had a Draik I would absolutely get this set, wow! 
One of the best days I've seen, it's what the Draiks deserve!

^ A little bit, yeah! I'm not usually a fan of wigs on any pet, especially kyriis, because their lovely manes are the best part of them! But this looks like the mane is just braided.
Either way I know @Angeló is going to want that violin!

You gotta know I morphed and painted Fluxroot before the announcement was event posted lol

aint she lovely?

Oh wow, this Color really suits the Kyrii, the leaves for the fur along with the cute flowers sprinkled in, it works really well!
And the Katya outfit is wonderful as well! Love the colorful, yet not too bright hair, the pretty violin, even the outfit is very well designed.
A duo of fantastic new designs for Kyriis!

The cowboy boot fins are hilarious 🤣 and its more like mustard than custard but maybe thats just me

I feel like they should've narrowed down the color palette for the Mosaic Kiko. There are too many colors, too much going on, and the eyes and mouth get lost. I don't totally hate it, but I'm not rushing out to get one.

Hey Brooke! Nice to see you're still around! 🙂 (Wouldn't have known if not for your sig though. lol)
That would be nice. I wish there was a better way to keep people from cheating. I mean, cheating at a FREE game? Kinda... sad really. Anyway, that's a nice idea. I just hope no legit players get caught up in that mitigation.
I really wish that YYB would reward higher scores with more prize points. Like, sure the game and the goals would count toward the team and the ranking up. But the sheer number of items that cost higher numbers of prize points is insanity this year. THREE stamps? The Thunder Sticks, as I said before, looks like a cool and worthy higher-cost weapon. But I fail to see how 3 stamps does anything good, except make those with a ton of time to dedicate to the AC to get to and go beyond All-Star, a TON of NP? I don't get the valuation there. 120mil for 3 brand new stamps that people will be claiming over several days and weeks so the supply will likely increase a little for awhile.
I mean SURE, I'm frustrated by the crazy asking prices of those stamps, AND that I didn't have time to dedicate to the AC this year. AND that I missed out on last year's prizes because I went to check the Prize shop in May and apparently I'd JUST missed it. Though as I recall I didn't have a ton of Prize points from last year, maybe around 4000? Not sure if it would've been enough for the stamp or not.
But as far as goals scored counting toward prize points? I've been wishing they'd do that for most of the last 10 years. 😉 Though with the new way YYB is timed, you can't score nearly as high as you could when it was Flash. 😉
I understand that it might lessen the amount that the support games are played, but I doubt it would be THAT big of a deal. There's still a score-send cap on the games right? So there's still only so many games of YYB that one could play/send in a day. They'd just get some extra prize points if they were skilled enough to score a lot of goals. And playing the support games would still give prize points, rank points and count toward beating the opponent team each day. So there's still plenty of reasons for most to play them.
 

LOL If I had that kind of NP to blow, I'd say "same", Duma. If the stamps ever get down to all 3 for say, 10 mil. I'd buy a set. But it takes me waaaaaaaaaaaay too long to earn NP to go for them at their current price. I hope you can find a good deal from another TDNer! 🙂
 
Quick question. If your team ranks in the top 3, do you get anything for it? Like, extra prize shop points or something for the players who supported the top 3 teams during the AC? Just sudden;y wondered. lol
Thanks in advance. 😉

I thought for SURE Meridell would rank 1st! I wonder what happened at the end?
Also, what's up with the price of the prizes? There are 3 stamps and when I asked someone on the TP what they were looking for, for the set of 3. He said 120m! Seriously, 120,000,000 NP! I have some MUCH OLDER AC stamps and those combined wouldn't come CLOSE to 120mil!
How is that even....?! Since I couldn't play enough to get even one stamp this year, I was counting on doing some trading. Guess I'll have to write them off and try again next year. *sigh*
Btw, those Thunder Sticks things seem pretty cool. I don't have enough points for 'em, but I looked up their stats, they kind of make the Moehog Skull look like an over-priced paperweight. lol With as hard as it would be to obtain a Moehog Skull I mean. 😉 Plus the stats are a little nicer on the Thunder Sticks imho. Similar attack in icon number, different types of course, but the defense is a bit more useful if you know you're going against an opponent that uses a LOT of Physical icons. 😉

This whole Altador Cup was whack  ... especially the final results  

I love the colors in the pastel, but is it just me or are the lines not very... clean? Like, the outline looks pixely.

@Aquamentis12 I'm so disappointed in you.
 
@AngelóI'm so sorry you have to move to the US to be with your fiancee, honestly it would be a lot better for both of you if you weren't living here right now. A lot of already-existing problems with our country are getting worse and worse right now, and I wouldn't recommend anyone to move here. ><; 
The news about Roe VS Wade being overturned is incredibly disheartening for many reasons, one of which is the fact that the decision was made by only a handful of people, all of whom have perjured themselves by overturning Roe VS Wade. They had sworn at their confirmation hearings that they wouldn't and... well... did. They lied under oath. 
Not only that, but all of the things Aquamentis said in his reply are completely false, and recycled talking points from the last twenty years. Trust me, I heard them plenty growing up in an anti-choice household and until I got older and started hearing from the other side, I used to believe they were true. Also the coy language around "debating" is part of the typical toolkit that anti-choice parents/pastors/teachers strictly teach, because to them, the concept of whether or not a person should have autonomy over their choice to reproduce is a "debate", and not a form of state-sanctioned violence against people with uteruses. (Especially cis-gendered anti-choice men. It's never "real" to them, it's a chesspiece.) 

I'm from Canada, and agree with Duskitty as well, nobody but the woman herself should have a say in her body and what to do with it. And now one of the Supreme justices is saying that they (the SCOTUS) should look at other rulings as well like access to birth control? what is this the 1950's? I agree with the senator I was reading about in the news yesterday that said that some of the justices claimed to have said they weren't going to touch Roe vs Wade, and then did, that they lied under oath and should be impeached.
