Tank Girl Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I really want to get the Punchbag Bob avatar, and I was wondering if anyone knew if there's anywhere that updates the times he's in the Battledome? If anyone else has got the avatar I'd love to know how you went about getting it. Quote
Wembly Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Ughh, I got so excited when I read this title, I thought he was in the battledome right now :sad02: I don't have him because when I went to fight him and lost the next page where I should have gotten it glitched out :sad02: so I never received it. But from what I understand he comes around once a year or so and the last time I heard about him was when the Tarla shenanigans were going on. But if you find something, let me know because I would be interested too. I suspect there has to be a twitter account or some other quick networking thing set up somewhere to alert you, I just haven't found it yet. Quote
Spritzie Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Wembly, I feel your pain. The last time he appeared, I left work for less than 10 minutes to grab a snack, and came back and he was already gone. To get him, when he does show up (There's usually a lot of boards on the Neoboards, plus last time, someone made an announcement here and alerted everyone), you fight him, and lose to him, with your active pet.

Cornflakes Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I have the av :D Just keep an eye on the Neoboards - Avatar Chat, that's how I got him. Quote

Masaryk Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 The last time Sid appeared was during the Tarla thing. Was that last May? Every now and then, someone at TNT decides "Gee, we haven't seen Sid in a while. Let's activate him now." It's very random, and it will almost certainly happen during the 9-5 NST work day. Last time, Sid appeared on a Sunday. I ignored all the AC hype, because I didn't expect anyone would be at Neopets office on a weekend, so I missed out. :( Quote
sjoudrey Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I had an alert on the board for Sid when I got him during the Tarla event. I was very very VVVVVERRRYYYY lucky. Quote
persephoniekali Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 How did you have an alert? I'm still trying to get him too Quote
Masaryk Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Someone has a mailing list set up on their petpage for Sid notification. I'm having trouble finding it right now, but the way it works is that users that sign up are put in groups of ten. If someone notices that Sid is in the Battledome, they are supposed to send a Neomail to the other people in their group to notify them. It's a really cool idea, and I know a few people who have received the avatar through this, but it hasn't worked so well for me yet. By the time I see I have the Neomail, I've missed Sid. I'd love to see someone else set up a new system like this if the old one disappeared. Quote
Viridian Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I got it when Sid appeared for the last time, several months ago. I remember reading it on here, and I was only able to get it on my main. By the time I tried on my sides, he was gone already. Quote
Angeló Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Mrs Cornflakes taunts me with that avatar all the time ha ha ha ha I never know about Sid when he's online ... I usually play Neopets on my own and don't interact with people much and rarely go to the neoboards ... so when he came out during the Tarla event .. I was never aware of it ... I wish someone would alert me .. Quote
Cornflakes Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I don't mean to taunt...I hate taunters. :'( But yeah...I got it. muhahahaha *eg* Quote
Olivia_D Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Is there a mailing list for when sid shows up? I'd really like to be on that list! Quote
Masaryk Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I think it would be really great if someone on TDN decided to start a mailing list for Sid. I don't think I should be that person, but this would really be a great idea. Quote
phyxius_on Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 If a mailing list gets set up please include me lol. I am almost never on the boards, but I do check in on tdn forums at least once a day. Quote
