colourful97 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Am I the only one who starts early (ie: choosing a team, decking out in apparel, etc.)? I decided, since I used to do this all the time before, that I need to start getting ready now! What do you guys do? Dress up your pet? Deck your house out? It's hard for me right now, since I don't even know which team I'm going to support this year: I'm usually a Kreludor guy, but my Bruces say otherwise. >.> This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Neomysterion).

Tedhaun Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I picked Darigan Citadel last year, and I'm surely going to support them this upcoming year as well. Ontopic: I normally dress up my Darigan Hissi Hiss_Dragon05 for the Altador Cup just to get him to look like Layton Vickles. Here he is by the way: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiku Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I personally start preparing for the next AC a week after the previous AC ended. Sounds insane, I know, but I highly doubt I'm the only one. What I like to do is customize my pets with backgrounds (None of my pets can wear actual clothes haha) , and attempt at making an AC-themed Petpage. I also chat on an AC-focused forum yearly and post AC articles for that forum. In my opinion, the AC never ends. It continues running year-long, just as long as a few people continue to share the warm, fuzzy feeling the AC brings people. moltara for ac vii cough cough :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrystar Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would start getting excited about the Altador Cup about a week before. I would look up the teams and lurk in the forums before deciding on a team. The annoying thing is that I would just end up playing very little yooyuball because the Altador Cup season falls smack in the middle of the summer break here. The term 'summer break' is a misnomer for me, since I'm usually busy with either summer jobs or internships =( When I do find the time to play, I would submit my scores to the team scoreboard at the Neoboards. I love the spirit of teamwork and it makes me feel happy knowing that I have contributed, even if it's only a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedom111 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've never participated in the AC before, so I'm looking forward to this year :D I have no idea what team to support, though. Who has the best chance of winning? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have no idea what team to support, though. Who has the best chance of winning? :P You can always check back with the Altador Cup history if you're looking for a good team that has a fine likelihood of winning. Also, do you have a favourite land in Neopia? That should help you out if you have trouble choosing a team for the next Altador Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiku Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've never participated in the AC before, so I'm looking forward to this year :D I have no idea what team to support, though. Who has the best chance of winning? :P No single team has the best chance of winning (It was predicted Shenkuu would win last year, and Virtupets took the cup while Shenkuu placed 11th or so) ; it all depends on how hard the team works, and some people believe it also has to do with the amount of freeloaders a team has and/or SOTAC. I personally think that Maraqua, DC or Krawk Island has the best chance of winning this year :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billpika_x8 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Probably going with Darigan, or Kreludor. The sheer amount of people who simply join a team and never play is astounding. Could factor into my decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'ma start getting all the customisation items for Maraqua soon. Even though I don't have a Mara pet anymore they're still my homeslices ^_^ I only reached level 3 last year but I'm gonna go the whole way this time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm a Darigan devotee as well as an AC fanatic and it shows constantly.

Mirsha Plushie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 While I don't know whether or not I'm going to join Shenkuu or Kreludor, I am showing my spirit for both teams with my pets, who are based off of the two team captains I fangirl.

Xepha Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 In my opinion, the AC never ends. It continues running year-long, just as long as a few people continue to share the warm, fuzzy feeling the AC brings people. I agree with you Niku. It never really ended since the first Altador Cup. I try to go on WAM boards all year long... Since my homework steal me a lot of time, I mostly focus on getting things ready for WAM after Easter, and same goes for TDN's coverage planning. (PS: Maraqua FTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah, I stay with my board all year round too. Well not all ytear, I usually just drop in once a week and during that time I visit every active team board. x3 I know them Skers love me. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory918 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Maraqua for the win! I am tempted to join Darigan Citadel because of my Darigan Eyrie, but I decided to swim with the fishes this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I couldn't help but already customize at least one pet for the AC! I've been a huge fan of Mystery Island since my second cup and while we don't rank up with the big dogs, I adore my team and all the members that get on the MIYP boards ^^ Mystery Island is one of those teams that will surprise people during critical moments so beware :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanjoseph99 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Umm. I don't have any rituals or anything. I usually play Neopets only during AC. For this year, I'm going with Shenkuu again. Terror Mountain will have to wait. :) PS. When do you guys think registration will start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm still un-decided ... Shenkuu or Maraqua ... although I'm a loyal Shenkuu player since AC IV ... I feel I might need to change teams so I can have some more enthusiasm ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naamah D. Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 When I get the money I will make a Layton Vickles cheerleader out of my Hissi, Serpent or Serpy Scales. And check out what picture Naamah used for her desktop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulsanga Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Still hasn't hit me yet since I did take a long hiatus and am back on a new account, but I did chose the same old team I used to be on :D I wish there was a way to practice the games before.

Aqua111 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 And you think you are crazy? I was prepared for this year's Cup since the last one had ended. :laughingsmiley: I have already chosen my one true team seven years ago, so nothing to decide about there, I know that I will wear mainly black and purple for about a month (even decided to wear purple nail polish this time after I'm not allowed to put on my Darigan warpaint when I'm at work) and I give my hands as much rest as possible before the upcoming torment.

ice cream man Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'll always be on TM so I put winter themed clothes on my pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua111 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 After Zazzle only accepts payments with credit cards from my location and I don't have a credit card I made my own Darigan shirt. Too bad I can't keep the white outlines because they are only the blurry chalk outlines I made to see where I have to add the paint later on and they will be brushed/washed off later on. They would have given it a more mysterious look. And I also don't think I can reach the same effect with white paint. The grey shadings and the red sky are also missing but I also don't think I can add them because the shadings won't stay on the black colour and the red will only look like, well, like a red line and won't have the effect of a dawning sun. Carrying the picture of the logo and the shirt to a print studio would have been easy but no they won't print it there because the picture is copyright protected and they don't print copyrighted material. <_< Spritzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
