    That makes us two 😕 
    I have precisely 226 of them right now.
    For a couple of days I set a timer every half an hour but that just made me annoyed lol

    Yay! Happy cake day for us!
    I find it cute that there is a birthday theme. It could be better, of course, but it is still a little something ❤️

    As I promised: no birthday bar on the beta theme 😞 (at least not now)

    Without knowing exactly what you're after I've tried a few things out and come up with a few ideas which would be well within budget.
    For Rabytull, his colouring works beautifully with the autumnal theme and I can't help but think that simplicity is the key here, so the cloak could come off if you want to see more of his natural colouring:

    That's the:
    Autumn Country Road Background: 6150np
    Autumn Shrubbery: 4000np
    Gothic Bori Rose: Under 1000np
    Moltaran Bori Gentleman Cloak: 13,000np
    Lovely Bori Tail Jewellery: 8000np

    I've got rather more girly and fussy for Tybitha, so this might not be up your street:

    That's:
    Fyoras Balcony: 8000np
    Pretty Fyora Potted Flowers: 15,500np
    Bori Flower Girl Basket: 4400np
    Bori Flower Girl Dress: 8000np
    Bori Flower Girl Shoes: 9000np
    Maractite Lined Bori Wig: 5350np
     
    The winter theme may work well for Tybitha, so I can give that a shot if you'd prefer a less frilly, more simplistic look. I tend to stay away from wigs, but from your current customisations, see you favour them and the Venuquin Inspired Wig works surprisingly well with the Autumnal Bori idea for an extra 3200np.

    That makes it easier lol
    I still haven't claimed any of the prizes but went to do some price research on the yooyu, stamp and books and I figured that with more people supposedly playing (because quarantine) the prices wouldnt escalate so fast but I was SO wrong lol
    Probably gonna get two stamps and a book with my 10k-ish points
     
    Also: the prizes for the staff tournament are really cheap aren't they? I wish we could transfer those to the main prize shop lol
  8. Thanks
    anapm.agostini got a reaction from jellysundae in Let's Talk Prizes!   
    I absolutely loved your research, @jellysundae! 
    I kinda like to think that younger players are there, but not where we see them: neoboards, off-site forums, etc.
    I think back to when I started playing: it took me YEARS to first adventure to the boards. All I used to do was play games (badly) :P
    not that i am any better at games now
  9. Thanks
    anapm.agostini reacted to jellysundae in Let's Talk Prizes!   
    It would be great to have just a little insight. I really hope it is that it is casual players letting teams down, and not actual code that counts up the amount of members in a team, divides by the number of games played, and consequently punishes those with a poor showing. Nah, surely not?? That'd be pretty punitive. 😧
    I wonder about the faerieland thing though, isn't the "a lot of kids join that team then don't play" thing a bit of a long-standing tale that's maybe no longer accurate? I see a few people say it but there really aren't many kids on Neo now.
    Ok, I'm gonna do some researching using the Money Tree!
    So out of 20 people on one page of the Money Tree:
    14 didn't sign up - 7 of which are brand new accounts - those with older accounts have never competed.
    apart from one who joined LD in 2011, clearly hated it and has never joined up again since, lol.
    Out of the rest:-
    Maraqua: signed up but didn't compete - 4 month old account Roo Island: Rank 1 - 18 yr. old account Darigan Citadel: signed up but didn't compete - 3 month old account Meridell: Rank 5 - 15 yr.old account Kiko Lake: Rank Beginner - has played in 8 ACs but only to get participation trophy Huh. I realise the Money Tree wasn't a good place to find people for this, as most of the people who give to it are new players who've not yet learnt the all-important Neopian mantra of HOARD ALL THE THINGS. xD Nice to see all those new accounts though!
    *tries Kadoatery instead*
    Alrighty then! Out of 20 Kadders, with join year
    3 didn't sign up: 1 joined 2006 and has only played once and didn't do much, one's a brand new account but old player, last has played in 6 previously but only got participation medals.
    The rest:-
    Krawk Island: All-star(2008); beginner(2005); beginner(2011); Darigan Citadel: All-star(2010); rank 1(2009); All-star(2005) ; All-star(2005); Beginner(2004 - joined every year just for participation medal) ; All-star(2018) Terror Mountain: All-star(2005) Shenkuu: All-star(2009)(also, my friend Aya 😘) Maraqua: All-star(2006) Roo Island: Rank 12(2005) Meridell: All-star(2010); All-star(2005) Brightvale: All-star(2005) Roo Island: All-star(April  2020) That's quite telling, isn't it! Out of 20 people DC has the lion's share, that's interesting. I know it's way too small a group of people to be able to draw any proper conclusions. But one thing REALLY stands out. People who are into the AC work hard for their team, look at all those AS ranks! I admit Kadders are maybe also liable to be a little on the obsessive side? So AS ranking kind of to be expected?
    If doing this wasn't so flippin' time-consuming I'd go through things like the Wishing Well and Lottery winners too.

    a part of me keeps thinking that's the point. like, if people knew exactly how scoring works, they'd have better knowledge of how to tweak it. Although i can hear an argument for why NO ONE knowing how exactly it works is unfair.

    This is how I see it too, if you could still gain points for personal rank on break days then you're right, so many people wouldn't actually take a break. I think it's definitely better this way. 🙂

    I'd be VERY surprised if they put a royal PB on the prize list
    I usually just go for the books multiple times, one for my pet, multiples for some NP since books are rather easy to sell. 
    This year I'll probably go for the stamp too, but I'm thinking of maybe holding on to those prize shop points to claim my prizes later, when I can already have some idea on what's really worth it (in terms of selling it later)

    It always surprises me how long online communities are able to stay alive and active. A friend of mine brought up Gaia Online and when I went to check it out, there were still updates being posted! Browser-based games have a longer "shelf life" than mobile apps, funnily enough.

    WOW that's impressive! I've been upping my GPG average after one or two days of intense Darigan action lol

    That's the second time EVER but I'm so glad I did it! I'm still gonna try to keep maxing out YYB for the rest of the cup to rank up some more points and to help Team Kreludor in keeping up the nice 3rd place we have today. Let's see how that goes!

    If you practice enough with those Darigans you can get them into the goal. I dislike them with a passion and I can sometimes get them in the goal on the first shot. If not, I just keep the yooyu on my side of the field.

    Important note: You are NOT allowed to play 2 games at once! TNT has stated this several times before. They consider this as cheating and it could get your account frozen, which is no fun. And worst of all, if you're frozen for cheating you won't be getting your account back. So please, if you love your account, only play one game at a time.

    Goal decided on. I will try to max out SOSD every day and play 3 each of the other games. With that plus the extra I did the past 2 days, I might even reach all star. Depends on if I get sick of it. Just reached rank 6.

    I have several goals.
    1) Rank higher than last year, All-star, if possible (Only got to All-star once).
    2) Improve my GPG (Goals Per Game average) Last Year's final average was 12.8 (rounded up) With 2,658 goals in 208 games.
    3) Get enough prize points to actually afford the freakin' Stamp this year!
    4) Try again to score 18 goals in 1 game of YYB. My best score on record is 17-0 over the years.

    So far, I only managed 6 games last night, but scored 78 total goals from those 6 games. Even had 2 games at 15 goals scored. Counting the 2 games I've played today so far (15 and 14 goals respectively), my GPG average so far is 13.25, with 106 goals in 8 games. *sigh* I wish points scored counted toward Prize Points. 😕 I MEANT to inquire if that could be doable by TNT but I forgot until the AC was already upon us. Whoops!

    I want to max out SOSD daily, and I'm planning on going for All Star. But we'll see how I feel once my second class starts up. 🤪
    Edit: and it doesn't look like it'll happen today either. Hopefully everything's functional tomorrow.
