Neopets/Virtual Pets General - Altador Cup Season

"Neopets General" is a joke on Veeky Forums edition.

>How did I get RS banned so fast?
Neopian shops now automatically and randomly clear themselves. To check if you're actually banned or not, go check on the Neoboards or go into other shops.

>Why are you guys playing this?
Mainly nostalgia. And to make some in-game dosh.

>Why am I so poor?
Feel free to ask for advice! For newcomers, the battledome is a steady source of income and is a good way to get started.
Battledome rewards are here, with both per-arena and per-opponent lists: battlepedia.jellyneo.net/?go=battle_prizes

>WHAT ARE THESE BIRTHDAY PETS?
Adopt for a stat-boosting cupcake, then dump back in the pound. You can only get one cake a day.


Let's see if the stars align and we can get activity here!
For a topic: Any idea which Altador Cup Team you're joining.
Yes, it's my first time making a general. I hope this isn't general doesn't end up being too "dead".

>There are some Neopets who literally, and happily, eat shit, snot and more.

Holy shit we're back?

I'd like to think so. But we've only done one hour so far, and there haven't been many /npg/s or /vpg/s recently.

I'm hoping that with some bumping we can survive to when most people are awake, and actually get a surviving userbase, since it's 4:15 EST; Dead hours for most, AFAIK.

I plan to post comics, fanart, etc, to contribute, but I'd like anyone else who has relevant stuff to the thread to post. Activity is good, and much-needed right now.

Is this the first thread back? I haven't been on Veeky Forums since and I came here on a whim tonight. Lucky for you, I still have my full /npg/ folder.

Quite possibly. I haven't seen many Neopets/Virtual Pets General threads in at least weeks, sadly.

Oh I'm talking months I've been gone. I'm a little surprised it didn't ask for my birthday.

Months, eh?

Well, you missed the return of the Games Master Challenge, and all the fun and suffering that came with it.
Was pretty gud this year, IMHO.

Hopefully you -and many others- won't miss the Altador Cup, too?

Have you picked a team?

I've been picking Team Darigan every year I participate since childhood

Do birthday pets still work

You can get cupcakes for checking a pet's lookup on its birthday, if you own it, yes.

However, you can't check the birthdays of pets nobody owns, unless you use something outside of the site. I wouldn't know what.

There's also a mandatory captcha when viewing pet lookups now.

TNT addressed this in the most recent Neopian Times, as well as issue's 729, and 730:


neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=729
neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=730


Apparently, bots and programs refreshing way more than is normal, which was causing lag, loading issues/glitches, while the bots/programs collected information about accounts both active, and inactive, was the reason.

One such loading issue?

"(closet/inventory items disappearing, including pb clothes, neomail not working, not being able to post beauty contest previews saying it's spam, etc,) ", to quote a Neopian Times question.
I was there, and the items returned after some time, but it was not a pleasant wait.


According to TNT, regarding the Captcha:
>"But for now, all we know for sure is that they've made a huge impact in stopping these bots from running rampant on those pages"
>"Ideally, no this isn't a permanent feature. Once we feel we can remove the reCaptcha's without the same problems recurring, we definitely will, that just takes a little time!"

>Being poor.

Sadly, I must sleep now.

Please, try to keep /npg/ alive until at least the more active hours.

Have some official, but old art of the Space Faerie.

Damnit, stop dying!

Anybody know what the Codex team is this year? Really curious to see who they think "needs" to win.

I saw at least one on /trash/

Space Faerie is really irresponsible. Dropping fucking petpets from the sky.

How long ago was that? Then again, if it's from /trash/, maybe it's not the kind of Neopets General I'd assume many come here for....

Well, technically, Mira's dropping them from space.

But yeah, considering that....

She "has protected Neopets from cosmic danger for as long as anyone can remember. " and has both the power of telepathy, and the ability to feel pain when Neopets are in harm's way, you'd think she'd a bit more considerate.

MAYBE it doesn't apply to petpets? Or it's just fan interpretation. Kek.


That said, she DOES supposedly make items fall from the sky, as a supposed benefit to premium users....

It was a few weeks ago.

It didn't really have any more lewds than we've had in here from time to time either.

arise

when was the last time the space faerie actually did anything

The last time the faeries did anything was tricking the world into thinking they need them to fend off the wraiths
>implying the wraiths weren't made by the faeries

oh man I thought you guys were dead
maybe I'll pick this up again, haven't played since last time I saw these threads

Considering how fast Veeky Forums moves I think we'd be better off moving to /trash/ anyway since it wouldn't mean having to bump every hour and we'd probably get more new people poking their heads in to join.

Also, the people who want to post porn can do so but I'm mainly thinking from the perspective of being able to actually keep a thread alive.

agreed tbqh

bump

Good to have you back /npg/. You were missed.

Anyone know how to get a ticket sorted faster. I want my account back before the 6th so I can play in the Cup.

be a premium user (^:

>Anyone know how to get a ticket sorted faster

When I messaged them, I implied that I would buy premium if I got my account back. I won't
Don't tempt me.

...

I wonder if that would be okay....

It certainly would give us more bumping options, and we might not die as quickly.
I wonder if those who might be interested would have an easier or harder time finding us there, or if some might be deterred by being on a NSFW board.

Still, I'm not entirely opposed to it, assuming we can't stay alive here.

npg needs a bump pretty often in Veeky Forums

Is /trash/ a generally slower board? I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but should confirm, I suppose.

I wouldn't call it slow in of itself compared to other boards I browse like /an/ or /cgl/ where threads last for a week or more and are the kings of slow, but it's considerably slower than Veeky Forums where a thread gets bumped off if nobody posts in it every 60-90 minutes

I'll stop bumping the thread when it hits page 10 and I'll make a /npg/ on /trash/ when we inevitably get bumped off

or someone else can if you beat me to it
