BEE. Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 ...remember about the 'Easter Bunny' avatar. 1 day late. I can't believe I have to wait another year! D': I told myself that this would be the year I get it. But I've been too busy and have only been online for a few minutes each day for the Festival of Neggs. I could really use Hermione's time turner right now. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I did the same thing with the Valentine's avatar. I remembered to get the theme, but not the avatar. /facepalm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghanjack Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Since you reminded me I tried it just in case, and I got it. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 ... double-check your Food Club bets and realize that you probably missed checking off one of the arenas in one of your bets, so that your potential payoff of 555,696 NP is reduced to only 92,616 NP for that bet. On the plus side, it might mean an extra 92,616 NP for 3 other possible outcomes that I bet on. But now I'm really hoping Admiral Blackbeard doesn't win in Hidden Cove.

BEE. Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Since you reminded me I tried it just in case, and I got it. Weird. OH! So did I! I didn't even think to try it anyway. Well uh, forget what I said in the first post! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskitty Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 ...frantically log on at hyperspeed to visit the Snowager, only to find you were too slow by a few seconds. <_< jurassicshark and peabrain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurassicshark Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Some of my guild friends actually set alerts on their phones to remind them of seasonal avatars. Pesky little things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyplasticdinos Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 OH! So did I! I didn't even think to try it anyway. Well uh, forget what I said in the first post! :) Congrats on the surprise avatar! ...frantically log on at hyperspeed to visit the Snowager, only to find you were too slow by a few seconds. <_< Since I am EST I have a pretty easy time getting the 6am - 7am and the 2pm - 3pm, but I rarely get the 10pm - 11pm time slot. My frustration is getting blasted and not getting the avatar. I had it happen both times for multiple days in a row. It makes me want to tear my hair out!

the_microwave Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I went into a panic yesterday about thinking I forgot to get the Easter avatar...and then I checked and I already had it. Of course. All that panicking for nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 ... check the Food Club results, and realize that if you had gone with the bets you worked out on your own instead of those of one of the "experts," you'd have made nearly 300k NP instead of losing nearly 80k.

D305 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Happened to me with the march 7th avatar..

Spritzie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 This is just a reminder that the OP was discussing missing a seasonal avatar. Please remain on topic by only discussing seasonal avatars here. All other Neopets related moments like this should only be placed on the Facepalm moments board.

crazy_cat_luv_bb Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Missed to get the Happy Birthday! avatar by 3 days when I started collecting avatars last year :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caughtinadreamx Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I can't tell you how many times I've done this. In fact, I missed the Sloth & Valentine's avatar on my new main. I've actually had to start setting reminders on my phone so I remember the seasonal avatars. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
