    That was also my guess.   And while I didn't get a negg prompt, I -DID- find the guard asleep!    So I'm going to count that as a major 'win' anyway.

    My instant thought was to go to Moltaran Caves, but I didn't get the negg prompt. Hmm...

    Rayd1978 got a reaction from charelan in how do you get rid of stress?   
    Well, first step would be to find the sources of stress and try to get rid of them.   Sledgehammers work nicely, but aren't always an option.
    For general stress I'll often just take and nap or listen to music.  Simple, but effective.
    I also find video games work for me.   Specifically resource management games where I'm building a city or in charge of a fortress or something like that.   The actual management of the game is more stress, but the accomplishment of beating a level or hitting a goal goes a long way to making me feel better.

    Bleh.   I spent two weeks training and leveling to get Throw Pillows for Malum, go to fight him, and found the plot ended that morning.   ?

    Agreed.   Hp and challenge aren't the same thing.   PunchBag Bob has what, 2000 hp? But his challenge is 0.

    Rayd1978 got a reaction from weezieb3 in Do you think Neopets still has much of a future?   
    I see three routes.... one, flash dies, the official set gives up, and fan based sites keep things going for a while.   Two, flash dies, staff comes up with their own version to keep things going, as hosts, artists, writers, and now coders and support.   Or third, everything gets switched over to something other than flash.   Which would be a mess, but if done well could keep things swimming for years, until whatever the new format is becomes outdated and the whole thing starts over again.

    Rayd1978 got a reaction from hystrangea in have you ever withdrawn too much??   
    I vaguelyrecall it happening way back when I first started, as i neglected to keep ANY on hand, just always put them into the bank as soon as I got them... then needed to buy something later. I think was about 10 withdrawls.
    Typically I keep around 50,000 on hand to make sure I have enough for fairy quests and codestone purchases, which is typically more than enough.

    Rayd1978 reacted to jellysundae in Who's THIS dude?   
    Hmm, interesting point. But  honestly, interesting for me because it highlights that he's NOT wearing any recognisible insignia from any part of Neopia, is he. ?
     
    Maybe he's a wandering knight, roaming the country-side looking for maidens in distress to ravish rescue.
    HA! Maybe he's the Neopian version of Lord Flashheart from Blackadder II...
     
    Watch out, this clip contains some of the best comedy, in existence!

    I really hope some day they reveal the Dung Faerie.   I'm honestly not sure if I'd prefer another slim and pretty faerie like all the others, or something utterly different.

    Agreed.   I understand they don't want to go too far out and make her monsterous or something, but it comes across as really low self-esteem.

    "Oh, you helped me with my quest?   You must be the nicest person ever."
    Lady, I can see on the quest board at least  three other people helped you in the last half hour.   You got issues.

    A minor thing, but I was wondering what others may think, if anything.
    Grey faeries are faeries that have lost all their power and beauty, according to Neopedia. I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but:

    This is TNT's idea of ugly?!
    Even as a kid, I thought grey faeries were pretty. At worst, she looks like someone who rolled out of bed (and didn't take off her make-up the night before) and even then, she's still pretty. I wish I looked that good when I wake up in the morning!
    Her dress isn't that bad either. Just take away the patches. Not to mention, for what's presumably supposed to be a ragged dress, it sure highlights her figure. I didn't know rags were form-fitting.
    So, at least in my non-expert fashion opinion, the only ugly thing is her wings, and they don't detract from her beauty. They're just there.
    Seriously, TNT, get a dictionary! This is not a faerie who's "lost her beauty".

    'That Face When' of 'That Feeling When'  or perhaps 'THE Feeling When'... part of the trouble with such abbreviations, different people in different groups use them in different ways.   Had some mild trouble with an online friend a while back when I made a comment and he returned 'QFT'.    I was familiar with the term meaning 'Quit F-ing Talking', and I was somewhat insulted.

     
    I quite understand, have a friend who is quite into very spicy sauces, recently did a sort of taste test with his friends, gathered up a bunch of firey sauces and compared them all.   Were several no one liked, just heat with no real flavor to them.   All had a fair bit of heat, but I favored the milder ones of the bunch, the hotter ones were just hot to me.   Others in the group agreed those were hot, but were able to pick out the various flavors within the heat.

    Books.   Needs more books.   Because everyone always needs more books always.

    Other than that highly bias tidbit, the only think I notice is the blue limbs stand out strongly from the background pieces.  i would try a sort of haze or fog over everything, see if i could even the tone out a little.   But that's my personal opinion.   Over all I think you've done very well.

    I think the best way to get neopoints is just to keep at it.   There's no certain way to get a bunch short term.  Get yourself a routine, games or dailies or whatever work for you, and do them each day, every day, no exceptions.   And a month or two down the road, you'll have a pile of neopoints.
