Duma Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 You were close but nope, still not winning. Keep trying though! You're close! Quote
thrillerman1234 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I find it funny that when I looked at this thread It was like 1 & 1/2 since the last post, thinking this was going to be my chance. I'm either not going to win, or I was the spark this thread needed. Either way, I'm now in the lead. Edited January 13, 2023 by thrillerman1234 Missing & Quote
Duma Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Yeah, it's always like that, some people (like me) just look at unread topics and then decide whether to post or not. In this case you were the spark to bring it back to my unread list. too bad. Now if only other people would join in, it could become fun again! Quote
thrillerman1234 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 I've been seeing your name around and now noticed you are a mod for the forum. Do you like the job? Quote
Duma Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 It's not very exciting or anything but it's nice because unlike with adding items, that get released at midnight and we would want to add them to the database as quickly as possible, or with events that need updating and such, I can do my TDN job whenever I have time. I usually check it in the morning and after work. Quote
TorquoiseGamer Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Just returned to Neopets after many years (new accounts, currently working my way through Neoquest in the Temple of Roo). Sad to see most of the forum games haven't had any activity for over a year, but anyhow guess I'm winning now, although hopefully someone else will be shortly. Quote
thrillerman1234 Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Shortly, indeed. Welcome to the thread. Quote
Duma Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Just don't expect to win Forum games sure have been down for a while, but feel free to restart them if you like, we'll see how long they can survive again. Quote
thrillerman1234 Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Hey guys. It's been a while. I wanted to post something here and see what you guys think it was a story I was writing for my shopkeeper. This might take a while to read though. Zazzles the shopkeeper says: I'll give you an omelette if I can have few minutes of your time You actually want the omelette? Well, here you go! (He hands you an omelette from behind the counter) (Your pet eats it immediately) Thanks! (He grabs a timer and sets it for 5 minutes) Now, I know this is weird, but I just need someone to talk to about how I feel. I've been this guy's shopkeeper for, like 11 years. I remember when he first saw me, he named me zazzles. He said I had a lot of 'zazz', and eagerly chose me as to stay here and run the shop. And I had no problem doing so. He was just a kid, and I needed something to do. I was just an orphan whose parents never returned, and having someone finally want me, and love me felt great, really great. (He wipes a tear from his eye) He would come in, give me a big hug, drop in some random junk, sell it at a random price, and check the till to see if anyone bought any items and come back in like a week or so. A few years later, he made a big expansion to the shop, like a HUGE one, and told me he wanted to own one of the strongest weapons in Neopia: a Wand of the Dark Faerie, or WoDF for short. I was amazed at this massive goal he had and was happy for him. He put these books at high prices and hoped that people would come by and help support him in his dream. And I waited for the day when he would finally own one. (His face saddens) Of course, he got older and got busier. He would say hi and quickly check the till then leave. Some days, he drop a bunch of items, set their price and leave, all without saying hello. Others, he wouldn't even come by, even when he was online with his other pets. I was just here... alone... waiting. I remember one day, after like a year since he last logged on, I told him about some of the things I seen in other shops, and some nice design choices, some business ideas he could use to he could use to attract customers, and that if he wanted to achieve his dream he has to come by more often. (You notice that anger is slowly mixed with his sadness) Nothing. He just checked the till and tried to leave. I remember leaving the desk and trying to show all the work I put into his dream. He just walked right over me and out the shop. Multiple times... MULTIPLE times I tried to get his attention and and help him out and what do I get?! Nothing... just... nothing. (His anger subsides) Months go by, and one day, a light faerie stopped by the shop. I was so excited, like, finally, a customer! Said she needed some directions to money tree and I told her where to go. She was about to leave, but then came back and asked how I was feeling. I told her what was going on, and she encouraged me to not lose hope but the next time he was here, do your best to tell him how you feel. She gave me a big hug, kindly say goodbye and said she would return to help me set some things up to have a party when he returns. A month later, he finally returns! and I was so happy! I let the confetti fall and drop the banner. But no response, he was going to do what he normally does. But I didn't give up! I remember doing what the light faerie told me and told him what I was feeling, that I was feeling really lonely and that I wanted to be one of his pets. No response; he was putting a price on one of items he brought. I tried harder, I was getting in his face, hiding items he was going to put on sale, nothing. It was like I was not even there. (Tears start to form in eyes) I got violent, I tugged, I scratched, I bit. He headed for the till. I yelled... I begged... I cried. He started to go for the door. I told him I loved him. He didn't even stop, he walked right out. He didn't even see the gift I had in my hand for him. I was devastated. (The timer rings) Oh, I guess that's it. Thanks for listening to me. I mean if you have another five minutes, I'll give you another omelette? (Take the omelette?) [Yes/No] [Yes] To be continued. [No] I-I understand. (He wipes his tears) Thanks for shopping **** Let me know what you think. Quote
Duma Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Not really the topic to ask this. Might be better in Neopets General chat Quote
thrillerman1234 Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 Worth a shot. Thanks for the advice! Quote
