Songbirdsara Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oh phew! Today's was absolutely brilliant! The interesting thing is, TNT content folk are on holiday vacation, so it was planned from the start! Maybe it's designed to have some easy days, some hard days? Either way, nice to have ONE day not full of insane prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I REALLY hope the days continue to be like today instead of like the past few days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Officially Stockholming right now. I stayed up late to see what today would bring and was a little bit... sad? disappointed? when nothing inflated. LOL. I wasn't looking to profit (if I snagged a pricy item I would have given it away or sold it cheap), but why did I even stay up so late?!?! :mellow: I wish there could be some kind of balance - it's not very exciting when things stay less than 100 NP. I think a little bit of competition is a good thing, but when things go unbuyable then I think it's ridiculous. I just feel like if something was going for >10k but <99k people would be a little more charitable towards those who are less well off. But I suppose that's not a guarantee. I guess I'm tough to please. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk421beth Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It was really great, that the prices were so low. I only spent 100 NP for the two items I needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogadelic Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Now this is more like it! Hopefully there will be at least 4 more days like today so that I can complete this silly thing. Also, I have an extra Shimmery Sea Grass and Poison Snowball if anyone needs them (lol) :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayalat Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Wow, TNT is... well, TNT :P Like someone said, they planned this since the begining!!!! I spent 350k yesterday, but I like the petpet; today I bought the items I didn`t have for 15nps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariposa Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 After caving and shelling out 400k to complete yesterday's quest (I missed the first 4 days of the event and was really worried about finishing), today I decided to wake up in the middle of the night to get online and snag whatever items I would need for this one. And they were all junk items! I was able to make the donation and go back to bed. :D I am so relieved now. This brings my total donations to 4/8. tk421beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thrilled I didn't have to spend a ton of NPs. I hope the next four we both need are like this, easy and not too expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nousha Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm so happy today is so easy. Midnight NST is 10AM here but I was so tired I couldn't get up, I said to myself 'I don't care, I'll sleep'. And then - surprise! I'm happy but I have the feeling it won't go on like that :( Fingers crossed I'm wrong :) I need only two more and I'll be done with this event.

paperdoll66 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Does anyone else think part of the reason the items were so cheap is that TNT knew hardly anyone would want a Flying Holiday Eggnog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decchild Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I just checked the reqs.... my jaw dropped at how cheap today's things were. WOOOOOOOOOOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laceew45 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 How long is this event going to last? Because if it was like today, I can finish in 5 days.. but if it is like yesterday.. I don't know when I can finish and I really want that avatar.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 How long is this event going to last? it's going to last until Dec 31st , so 8 days still .. laceew45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laceew45 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I hope there are at least 5 easy days during that time.. I donated to the Toy drive 60 times. I wish that counted for something.. Bodhi and nightfall8705 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfall8705 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My two cents on the matter: I don't like this event, and here's a few reasons why... 1. If people are going to donate, they should just donate. Prizes shouldn't really matter. 2. I view this event as an attempt to a) get rid of junk on the servers and b ) regulate inflation, and nothing else. 3. Granny should keep her day job. Her "tags" are robbing more people than the Thieves Guild. 4. Items that are usually worth 1 np are now selling upwards of 650k or more, and people who can milk it are milking it. 5. How many people feel left out because they a) aren't mass hoarders and b ) filthy rich? I've got 14 mil in the bank and I'm struggling! And this whole "most generous Neopians" list boils my blood because something isn't right about it. It's extremely fishy. This event hasn't been out THAT long. According to the list, some people have donated well over 3,000 times. a) what are the odds of you being that highest ranking generous Neopian? Seriously, how many players are on Neo each day? b ) many of the same people have constantly been on the list. Really? Does that surprise you? Doesn't surprise me! and my personal favorite c) these "users" would have to literally have NO life whatsoever, and be online 24/7, constantly donating to have donated that much, considering the price hikes on items and the serious sitewide lag! I think this whole list thing is just a catalyst to make everybody try to one up each other. Donating toys whether it be in real life or virtually, the concept is still the same, and it shouldn't be a competition. All that being said, no, I'm not being a cynical grinch, but I am saying this, my eighth tag is coming up. Once I complete it, I'm out. The only reason I've done it this far is because Neopians have helped me, and I have helped them in return. The whole point is to help somebody and give back, which is what I've tried to do. Considering it's now Christmas Eve where I am, all of my future donations are going to the money tree, where they belong. - Lady Angel out.

rxcrcfllptrs Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Frickle frack... Scary Ink Frame went UB in about 5 minutes. Even I couldn't snag one in the SW. The items today are: Bone Vault Background, Cave Foreground, Relaxing Shenkuu Rock Garden (UB), Courgette Field Background, and Scary Ink Frame (UB). If anyone can spare me one of the Scary Ink Frame, I'll be very grateful! I can also pay around 50-100k for it. Edit: the Relaxing Shenkuu Rock Garden is also UB now.

Spyke Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I can't at all argue with what Angel had to say. Awesome points and well said.I got my avatar today though :3 My total donations are 50 times. I don't anticipate doing much more than what I've done unless I like some prizes that will be earned in the next few days.I'm a bit of a wearables hoarder, to be honest. I only had to buy the Courgette Field background. Let me know if anything goes UB and someone needs one or more of the other items. I have a few spares.The best way to reach me is either NM or PM. nightfall8705 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloysterbell Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 If anyone has a spare Scary Ink Frame, I can trade you like, 5 Relaxing Shenkuu Gardens for it please. Edit: Never mind, I got it! Thank you Spyke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I think I'm only lacking the scary ink frame & bone vault BG. Seeing as how I can't seem to find the frame on the wiz, I log out & am now on my way to bed. Happy Christmas Eve everyone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Lucky I had an ink frame in my SDB, probably leftover from the trick or treat thing. Now I have an avatar! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
