Khepera Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 So... My story is this: Some time ago, my main pet was randomly transformed into a Baby (Blumaroo). I didn't like this, because I really want him to be Tyrannian. So I thought: "Fine, I'll transform him when I get the chance." A couple of weeks later, I got a Tyrannian PB from the Wheel of Monotony. That was great! I used it on my pet, and he was back to normal! But not for long... Today, I got another random event. He was, yet again, transformed back into Baby. So I should spend like 220k on painting him back every other month? That would really suck. These kind of random events should really be banned... The thing is, I was playing Dice-A-Roo at both occasions. Is there a higher risk of getting these random events while playing it? Or am I just really unlucky?

amitybelle Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm terrified of Boochi. I have been playing Neopets for a long time and have never had it happen, I'm guessing you're just unlucky :[. I have a spare Snow Paint Brush if it ever does happen to me. Tyrannian PBs are relatively cheap as far as PBs go. At least you weren't Royal/Plushie etc.! Still, it sucks. I wouldn't imagine you'll have this happen monthly. It is, afterall, a random event so hopefully you won't have it happen again. Two times is more than a person should have to put up with! Not sure about Dice-A-Roo, personally I'd be scared stiff and stay away but I shouldn't think certain games or pages give out certain random events such as that. I'm sorry though! I would just be thankful Tyrannian isn't millions worth, paint him again and hope to steer clear of Boochi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drea Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 wow, two Boochi random events... some people would say you're actually lucky. anyway i googled this a few months ago and i think there's a 'ban boochi petition' or something like that... Edit: for all of you who are against you can read/sign the petition here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Darkest Faerie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Okay, my advice is like Izzy with the ALP pets: Don't have your precious pet as your active pet unless you don't mind it being transformed! But I would feel really gutted if I didn't know about Boochi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just a little note, petitions won't do anything. The receiver of petitions are never obligated to do what the petition says. More likely than not, TNT won't even look at it. But yes, you should paint you pet again. Boochi is a really rare RE, so it shouldn't happen again...

Anime Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Horrible luck. A lot of people who fear him have a "Boochi buffer", a pet that is Baby, looks good as Baby, or is a lab rat. That way expensive paint jobs don't get ruined all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I wouldn't want to ban Boochi. Yeah, he causes misfortune for some, but he also brings fortune to many, especially the newer people. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureTXTurkey Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well the petition may not do any good, but I still agree with what it says. People work really hard to get painted pets, and I'm not going to waste a pet slot with a pet I don't like just to thwart and unfair RE. It should either give you it as an option or just give you the brush. And yeah, I think you should paint your pet again. The Tyrannian one isn't that expensive, and you don't want to let Boochi win.

I totally agree with you. While this RE may be a blessing for some, it's a demon for others. I want to be able to have my main pet active at all times, without fearing for his safety. RE:s where the pet gains a level or something like that - great! But Boochi is too much. Of course, there's really not much to do about it... I will surely paint him back again, but it's going to take some time. I just have like 130k right now, and I'm going for the Snorkle Snout. So I'll probably have to keep my pet as Baby for a couple of weeks now... *grr* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitybelle Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 That I know of, Boochi is the worst random event. It's easy to keep your items safe from the Pant Devil. SDB! And NPs in the bank. I used to love Baby, I still do, but I would rather choose to paint my pet Baby rather than a RE. And there are other colours I like more. I do think Boochi is... good... for some. I would say the majority dislike him though. Some kind of option would be great. I don't think TNT will change it though, they probably think it's funny :-P. Hey, maybe you'll get lucky at that wheel again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 You could also have an active pet that can't be baby (Of course, it doesn't help that most pet are available in baby color...) Dice a roo is a php game, that involves refreshing... so yes it's more likely to get any random event if you are playing it than say... if you were playing flash games.
