Welcome Back Apathy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think the prizes are great. And honestly, I don't think we did enough work for an avatar or site theme. This wasn't a full-on plot; this was tiny. And I think with a mini-plot this mini, a stamp is also too much when we already have a book. ...I *like* books. I think the tunic is fantastic, I like that there's a weapon that's wearable, and the plushie is really cute. I don't know what the oasis tonic does yet (it heals and is limited use, is all I know), and the other one is useless but cool-looking--but I'm cool with one useless item in a sea of more useful ones. Especially for a plot so small. EDIT: Oasis tonic heals 35 once per battle. That's actually pretty good. Duskitty and Spyke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castyourshadow Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Really? They gave out the better prizes right away? Boo on that...I attempted to solve the whole logic puzzle because I thought I had to...apparently not. Figuring out the Menuscript theft was entirely too easy. I wish I had remembered to go on right away and submit. Now I'm depressed... :shiftyeyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeMarr Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I didn't get the staff either. Well.. I'm even more sad about not having a new avatar of site theme, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lessa Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I only got the plushie, scarab whistle, menuscript, and the background. What's the basis on the amount of prizes you get? I got the "Who?" part of the puzzle wrong. Is that why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 WHAT. no avatar. no site theme!??! :arrowhead: laaame. well I like the wearables...the staff is neat. WhiteWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the "Who?" part of the puzzle wrong. Is that why? The tunic was awarded to those who guessed correctly, but it appears that the staff and tonic were awarded for those who submitted their answers earlier. I personally put the wrong answer and still got everything but the tunic because I submitted on the first day of the countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bummer D: I should have just guessed the first day then instead of trying to solve it out till the last few hours. XD Thanks for the reply!

chelperk Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Waah! I didn't get the staff or tonic, either. That's ok, though. I haven't been on neo much lately due to having my family visit for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfall8705 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm also a bit disappointed with the prizes, but then again, most of the time, it was just a click here and there, and answers were popping up all over the place... I was hoping for at least some kind of avatar saying "Official Palace Sleuth Genius" or something of that nature. A tiny part of me was hoping that the thieves ended up destroying the Lost Desert somehow and we got a revamp. Still, Sandrea got a new book, and some wearables, and a cute toy, but I wish I could have done the NC part. I'm too broke to afford a loaf of bread right now, let alone NC. *sigh* That background looks gorgeous. Anyway, I'm trying not to really complain. After all, Princess Amira could have been all uptight and moody, and had not given us anything. WhiteWolf, Duskitty and rntracy1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rntracy1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I am so angry I didn't get the Staff or Tonic. I don't even know why. Uuuurgh!!! Also I was hoping for an avatar ;_; Kaybee92, I didn't either and I played EVERY day religiously. I got two of the prizes. At least I got the menuscript, that was worth quite a bit but I am not happy either. Ugghh!!!! An avvie would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i totally suspected they would add a time-sensitive component to prizes! i got the elixir but not the staff. i got a "gift" item instead that doesn't look like it'll have as much value as a wearable. i'm glad we got a book though.

elenet Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Personally, I am not very fond of the distribution of the prizes. The prizes themselves are quite good in my opinion, especially since I didn't expect anything great (after all, it was only a simple puzzle), but the fact that it was more profitable to answer earlier (albeit incorrectly) than to answer correctly, but on the last day, left me dumbfounded. I think that those who failed to solve the puzzle should not have received anything but the participation prize. kaybee92, Avia loves Chias and .Brianna. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 WHAT. no avatar. no site theme!??! :arrowhead: laaame. well I like the wearables...the staff is neat. I agree, Shelley. I would have liked a new avatar or site theme. If there had been an avatar or site theme, what do you think it would look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomuraAkemiTheHero Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I didn't get the staff but I submitted my answer on the 2nd day so I got everything but that oh well. I'm happy that I at least got something for submitting the wrong answer. One thing I don't get is how they let people sell their prizes immediately since people are already selling the staff in their shops. Also I'm surprised how they didn't give out an avatar or a site theme for those who completed the puzzle correctly because what's the point of participating if you can buy mostly all of the prizes from someone for neopoints.

WhiteWolf Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 First, I get my prizes, Then I got this in an RE: The Mark of Ta-Kutep burns in the sky. You flee in fear! Coincidence?? castyourshadow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I missed the staff, but its price didn't insanely skyrocket so I just picked one up. A site event trophy would have been cool, but I really wasn't expecting anything more than a few prizes so I'm not really disappointed about it.

beruichi Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I was offline for the last couple of days so I just got the stupid whistle. :( Good to know I didn't miss any fantastic prizes (i.e. avatar, hah!), though. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missjustina Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I could of swore I answered on the second day, but I only got the 3 prizes and the correct answer prize. Oh well :P I gotta admit when I first heard of the event I thought it was going to be an event leading to a makeover of the lost desert but I guess not. Sad theres no avatar but the prizes are nice and it was fun and better than no event at all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Actually, I'm kinda glad there is no avatar, because it might only be given out to SOME people and not all, remember the Spooky Food Eating Contest? I don't want a repeat of that. I would have liked having the staff as well, but hey, I got the tunic, so I'm happy. nousha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned at first there would be a repeat of the SFEC avatar incident, too :s I'm torn between being glad there was no avatar and being disappointed there was no avatar, to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackberrypatch Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well.. I wish there was an avatar. :) I got all the clues on the day of, and solved the puzzle myself. Wish we had Daily Dare this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darnflamingos Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just a quick question. If I don't have any NC the parchement is useless, right? I can just discard them, or should I hold on to them for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just discard them, or should I hold on to them for some reason? Discard them, yes. They are of absolutely no use after the NC event, other than clogging up your SDB or a decorative thing in your gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
