Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Grundo - Discarded Plushie' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!
10 years of trying daily, but I finally got the last random avie.
Not hyperbole either. The Discarded Grundo Plushie avie came out in late September of 2009.

I decided to buy the Random Acts perk again, because I'm a masochist.
Day 1: Dr. Sloth looks down on you as he passes by. He then turns the corner out of sight. You're still alive, so that's something.
Already had the Dr. Sloth avie.
Day 2: An old sea captain-turned-governor hands you a piece of a treasure map. "Keep hold of this," he whispers. "It's quite valuable." He then strolls away as if nothing had happened.
Not sure what piece that is.
Day 3: The Ghost Lupe appears suddenly and growls before disappearing again. You wonder what that was all about....
Oddly useless.
Day 4: A Ghostkerchief appears out of nowhere and approaches Slenderdraik! RUN AWAY! Wait... no. It just wants to be friends. Looks like a new Petpet is going home with you.
Free r99
Day 5: "Don't let the shore be forgotten!" The strange Krawk then hands you a Forgotten Shore Map Piece.
Trash RE
Day 6: A faerie offers you an ice negg. "Take this Ultimate Icy Negg! Be sure to visit the Neggery for all your neggy needs!"
Oooh, nice Negg.
Day 7: You happen across a mystical codestone and promptly pick it up. Time for training!
A single codestone.
Day 8: A fashionable Acara gives Plagueknight a gift of 50 NC and says, "Fashion is for everyone, darling!"
Sadly probably the best thing I got.

So I got One More Time when at the perk shop, and the only option to have was Random Acts.
Sooo...here we go again.
Day 1: Captain Limebeard says, "Arrrgh! Yer not eatin' yer fruits an' vegetables! Ye better take this Magical Pineapple Chia Pop b'fore ye get scurvy!"
Pineapple is a nice color.
Day 2: An Alien Aisha gives you a Ultimate Nerkmid! Maybe it's time for a trip to the Vending Machine....
Helpful, since I am planning on trying to get the vending machine trophy.
Day 3: Clarence Chichester Coggeshale hands you this Neovian Blumaroo Gentleman Cane and tells you it would be a smashing addition to any ensemble.
It looks nice, but I have no Blumaroo
Day 4: Nothing? So far at least. I might have missed the RE since one hasn't popped up yet but there was no item involved and I don' see any change in stats or levels on my pets.
Day 5: Nothing...again? I made sure not to click stuff to make the RE vanish but it hasn't appeared again.
Day 6: Captain Limebeard says, "Arrrgh! Yer not eatin' yer fruits an' vegetables! Ye better take this Magical Lime Chia Pop b'fore ye get scurvy!"
I'm honestly not sure if this is the RE perk or if I just got lucky, because I've never seen anyone get the same RE in the perk period before.
Day 7: Missed the RE, but I had the complementary virtupets toaster in my inventory, which means I had my bank interest refresh.
Or it was the TCG random event, because I missed one again and had the Buzzer TCG in my inventory too
Day 8: Looks like nothing again. Or a missed RE. This has been a glitchy perk for some reason this time.

I should probably send in a ticket, since this time I clearly missed at least 2 random events.

I should probably send in a ticket, since this time I clearly missed at least 2 random events. If you feel you certainly have you sure, while you may not be given anything this could be a possible glitch that should be fixed by next Charity Corner. But, hey, even with those "missed" days you look to have gotten a pretty nice streak this time, notably the two Magical Chia Pops! BTW, I checked JN's Charity Corner guide and there are indeed Random Events you could have gotten which positive effect doesn't give you an item or a few which do nothing at all: - Finding 50k NP on the floor.
- Active Neopet gains a Level or Strength increase.
- Given 50 NC.
- Granted the Sloth! Avatar.
- Vira is unlocked at a Battledome opponent.
- Black Pteri is unlocked at a Battledome opponent.
- Down for Maintenance Pteri is unlocked at a Battledome opponent.
- Pant Devil steals an item so it can be unlocked as a Battledome opponent.
- Shadow Usul steals an item so it can be unlocked as a Battledome opponent.
- Boochi is unlocked at a Battledome opponent.
- Golden Pteri gives you a handful of NP if you own a Pteri, otherwise does nothing.
- Ghost Lupe restores all your Neopets HP.
- Given a Lottery Ticket.
- Fungus Ball explodes and you lose NP.
- Captain Scarblade is heard laughing.
- Isca swims past.
- Coltzan's ghost appears.
- Lawyerbot appears.
- The Mark of Ta-Kutep burns and forces you back a page.
- Also if you don't own a Neodeck the one that gives you a Neodeck card gives you nothing as the card goes directly into the deck.
Okay, seriously, I think JS could chop some of these cause not only do some do nothing but there are ones which have a negative effect! For sake of convenience I colored the ones I think they should get rid of in red above. We already have "positive" random events that effects are lackluster so there's your risk-vs-reward, don't need to add even more downsides to what should be a simple Perk.

The Battledome ones I can understand having, since some were a pain to unlock, especially the RE ones, but yeah, those bottom ones should go.
And based on how it went, I think I just missed the REs.

Eh, personally I think, aside from the Premium BD opponent, they should just have all the BD opponents unlocked from the start. Unlocking BD opponents feels more like a relic of the past then a feature which adds anything. Heck, even then there was problems with it as I ran into an issue of not having Meuka and having a hard time doing what was needed to unlock him to complete his Defenders of Neopia challenge thus was never really able to do any further challenges. Nowadays I feel unlocking an Avatar fulfill the sense of accomplishment that unlocking BD Challengers was originally supposed to give.

I just submitted a piece to the Art Gallery for Valentine's Day! I'm so excited! (Which is why I felt compelled to announce it here.) It'll be my first submission! Of course, I'll look a fool if it ends up not getting accepted, but then I guess this post can then turn into a "Cry" instead of a "Gloat", lol.

Back in October (when they were hosting the Halloween costume contest), I realized my NT background was missing from my account. I was pretty sad about this and put in a support email and never heard back about it. TODAY (aka 4 months later), I got a response from neopets and I GOT MY ITEM BACK! So happy

Lucky. I never heard back about my 3 missing items In my support ticket, I initially asked about 2 missing items. They only gave me back one and didn't mention the other one at all in their response. But I figured I should take what I can get!
