Yeah, better communication is a criticism I feel TNT has gotten since at least the Jumpstart acquisition, but it's something they've still always struggled with. Probably doesn't help with how high turnover is these days, so staff is essentially relearning these lessons every time new people take on community-facing positions. I feel like no matter what, there will be some group of players unhappy or angry with TNT's decisions, including their choices of AC prizes so far, but it's always better to be proactive about these things.
Looks like both prizes today are original, which is especially exciting for the collectible! I didn't realize how cute Christmas Kaus are, I love their color scheme!

Oh I've also been meaning to mention this, but they dressed up the Magical Grundo Plushie for the holidays!
I don't recall seeing this in years past, so it may be new, but either way very cute!

Day 5 comments Oh! We actually get dialogue and deeper story with today's comic! It gives us a glimpse into Little Timmy's home and school life, and I like it a lot! It works nicely for his character, I think.
I'm still skeptical about TNT's abilities to write a good plot, but these Advent Calendar comics are convincing me that they'd do well with shorter stories, like new DoN comics (if they ever fix that), or even for a small (small) event. :3

I loved this comic a lot--it really reminded me of the olden days. Would be wonderful if we got a (small) event in this style. A page of comics and some plot steps, maybe 10 pages total like this? I would really like that.
And also KRAMPUS!

I dressed up one of my Neopets as a NeoQuest roleplayer! Fun comic today, though I didn't quite understand the third panel. The second panel, I think the Cybunny is refusing a kiss under the mistletoe, okay, fair. But the third panel, she's just refusing a gift? Why? How is a gift offensive? It's wrapped, you can't tell what's in it? And what does refusing a gift have to do with wanting to play a tabletop roleplaying game? I mean, I liked the end result of the comic and prizes, just a little confused at how it plays into the beginning part.

I read it as her rejecting two romantic suitors, one trying to get a kiss and the other trying to win her affections with a gift, and instead she'd prefer to play with her friends. The second suitor may have a much more appropriate gesture, but in the end they're still asking for something the Cybunny isn't interested in lol. Cute custom, by the way! I really dig the foreground, I feel like people could get some good use out of it.

I love today's prize ;u; I gave it to my Ghost Grundo. I really appreciate all the details: the Meepits, the Lupe, and the tree and stone tiles.
