dankesque Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I had deposited all my items to get the Rubbish avatar and was puttering around the site as normal. I hopped on to the Wheel of Mediocrity to attempt the avatar yet again, and hit the Tar Pit, no biggie... then it said "You lost your Pink Paint Brush to the tar pit." I... I didn't even see a random event for a Pink Paint Brush! I've never owned one! And yet, I feel this horrible sinking feeling that I somehow obtained a Paint Brush RE and then lost it before I even knew it existed... Quote
neoskulltula Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I feel this horrible sinking feeling Pun intended? :P It's rough but easy come easy go. Quote
Lydia Trebond Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 If a tree falls in a forest... if you lose something you never knew you had... It sucks, it really does. It's always always good to keep a bunch of junk items in your inventory just in case a RE like that shows up. At least you didn't know about it and forget to remove it! Quote
Nataluna Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 eek don't let Lady Kakata see this. *hug* really sorry you lost one, :( thats alot of nps.. :( i also keep my inventory clear, but maybe.. thats not a good idea. Quote
Lady Kakata Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I saw, but that realy sucks :C Random events are VERY easy to overlook, especially when you're occupied with something else! Quote
behemothrules Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Oh I am so sorry to hear this! *gives cookies* Quote
neon_nightingale Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Oh no...that's awful!! It's so easy to miss random events and it's rotten luck that the tar pit took it away. Hope some more good luck comes your way! Quote
Angeló Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 that is really bad, I'm so sorry about it ... *gives you ice cream* Quote
stormy_frostwinter Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Ouch, sorry that happened! Quote
sakura_blossom221 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Gah that's awful. I've learned never to have anything of value in my inventory when I play the wheel games. Quote
dankesque Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Pun intended? :P It's rough but easy come easy go. I was actually going to make a more obvious pun but settled for that, hahaha. If a tree falls in a forest... if you lose something you never knew you had... EXACTLY. I feel like I shouldn't be upset since I didn't, I dunno, spend six months saving for it or anything dramatic like that. But it was still a shock. Thanks for the kind words, guys, and have a happy Valentine's day! Quote
Sweetdang Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 You too. MEH at the tar pit for me, will you? It has no business going around stealing other's PBs :( Quote
lils Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Whao O.o hmm that does suck a lot lol. but you could just treat it like nothing happened @_@ Quote
lady_ryl Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I won a morphing potion on the wheel, clicked on my inventory to put it away, and got an RE " a ghost steals your morphing potion and carries it away". I did a LOT of swearing. lol Before you feel TOO sorry for me it was only a red ogrin morphing potion, not a big loss, but i was still mad. Quote
Trig Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Awe! I'm sorry to hear that! *hugs* Don't worry, you'll get many more fantastic random events! I never keep any items in my inventory- and I always empty it before spinning the wheels! :) Quote
Yuki Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but....doesn't it not do anything if you don't 'click to get your prize'? I've had wheels land on crappy spots before, where I'd lose money or items and just closed the tab instead of clicking on it. Never really seen any sign that the bad stuff (or good stuff) happens if you don't claim your prize. Either way, that really sucks and I'm sorry to hear DB Quote
Yuki Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I'm not sure if that's how it was before they redid the wheels. Now I don't have to click the wheel to claim the prize.. Doing that just shows me what I got or what event happened. OP, I'm sorry you lost that :( That feeling really sucks *gives ice cream and cookies* Yeah I just tested it out and you're right. :S Makes me more cautious about doing the Wheel of Misfortune now...

leedom111 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If you lost the item at the time you posted... I would think that the Pink PB was your AG prize, since you got in for Lenny Day (which is on the 12th) There is no notification if you get into the AG, so you really gotta watch out that you don't lose a rare item if you get accepted :( Quote
alicewondering Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Awwman. I'm sorry your poor paintbrush. I have a funny story about losing valuable items, actually. I had a Wand of Nova or somethign like that, and I returned to neopets after a long hiatus. And I was messing around in the battledome, adn decided to use the wand of nova. It vanished in a puff of yellow smoke. Then I looked it up, and found out it was worth a shizton of money hahahha. Aiya. Well, life goes on. Quote
xLaura Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Its better than realizing you just sold a multimillion np item for roughly 300k. That is a sinking feeling you can never get rid of Quote
