I too was too lazy to help out with April Fools, but conspiracies are fun!
I agree- if we do another prank with Fyora and the fairies, it'll be pretty similar to April Fools. Maybe we could do something with Sloth or a different Neopian celebrity?

Like I and some other people mentioned in the FW thread, I think if we go through with this the topic(s) should be hidden to members only or something in an effort to prevent people from finding out about it too quickly.
Edit: Would we be doing this for the Fyora Day issue (I think it's Issue 294)?

I'd love to be a part of this...but Issue 294 is pretty soon. (Though it would work nicely with that issue).

Was a filter put on FWs? Because Goosh and Ebil's posts are censored in the exact same way...
if so, that was a great idea! =D
EDIT: Okay, I tried just previewing my post, and it doesn't seem like it was, because it isn't working for me. XD Coincidence, I guess? Because I don't see their posts edited my mods either...
But a filter would be a good idea. XD

This sounds awesome. I definitely want to participate. I'm not sure if I can or not, but I will try. ^^

Hah! Yeah, I guess it was a coincidence... I was trying to censor the same way as everyone else (though I never examined goosh's too closely, and really barely noticed it) and I had a feeling that I'd gotten it wrong... guess not ^^;
294? That's in... about two months, no? Did it take us much longer than two months to plan FW? o_0
(And that's not sarcasm. I seriously don't remember if we spent a long time on it XD)

Okay then, I'm so in. ...Queen Fyora announce that she was stepping down (or maybe taking an extended vacation or something), thus initiating chaos as nominees scrambled to earn votes and take her place. I really like this idea. What if the nominees to take Fyora's job were various respected Neopian organisations who resorted to less that savory tactics to earn votes. i.e. the Defenders of Neopia, the Petpet Protection League, etc. ?? All fighting it out to get the top job?

I ignored this thread for a while, thinking it was just another collab thread. Ha, I'm so lucky that I didn't miss it. ^_^ I'm in.

All fighting it out to get the top job? That sounds great to me - that way, we could incorporate some well-known characters into the plotline without having it too much like FW. That, and it wouldn't only seem like another Sloth conspiracy. So would we be pulling this off in the same way as April Fool's? Creating a few recognizable characters, making use of some pre-existing ones, everyone making comics and articles for the same issue?

Woah... just about two pages worth of co-conspirators! ;D And here I worried that I was going to have a hard time recruiting people. Ooh, I'm in! I didn't participate in FWs, but I loved how you all planned in. ^^ I'm not really in the NT regularly anymore, but I can still contribute, right? =D Most definitely. The more pieces we can get into the Times, the better! Perhaps we should reconsider the Fyora idea. After F**r** W*rs, people might be suspicious about the Faeries. And, of course, we'll have to hold off for a little while. I too was too lazy to help out with April Fools, but conspiracies are fun! I agree- if we do another prank with Fyora and the fairies, it'll be pretty similar to April Fools. Maybe we could do something with Sloth or a different Neopian celebrity? Uh, yeah. That thought had crossed my mind, but I wasn't sure who to substitute for Fyora. Maybe not Sloth; I don't think all that many people would scramble for his spot. But if we could find another suitable Neopian celebrity, it would lend the whole thing credibility. And I agree with the holding off; precisely how long I'm not sure, but probably at least a couple months, since in the measurement of the Times it's only four issues per month. Still beats waiting for April Fools, though... Maybe we should have a go at it on Issue 300, since a hundredth issue is kind of a major event, so it might seem more natural that something big should happen then. Okay then, I'm so in. ...Queen Fyora announce that she was stepping down (or maybe taking an extended vacation or something), thus initiating chaos as nominees scrambled to earn votes and take her place.

Creating a few recognizable characters, making use of some pre-existing ones, everyone making comics and articles for the same issue? Yeah, that's basically what I had in mind, although I hadn't thought of the DoN and the PPL being in the picture. I like that idea. For me the whole thing basically sprung from a random thought that if Queen Fyora were to step down, it would be fun to interview her potential replacements. And maybe also some people who might seem like obvious candidates for world domination, but who decide to decline; like Lord Darigan, maybe. Having taken one kick at that proverbial cat, I don't imagine he'd be too eager for seconds.

I'm up for it.
I've been plotting a return to the NT recently, anyway...

People tend to have short memories, especially when it is combined with a "holiday" where such is expected. That's why I suggested a "Summer Surprise". Who thinks about April 1st in August? But Fyora Day would be an idea. Sort of an Anti-Fyora joke theme to go with it.

We're doing a mass crossover for that one. I'd totally be in for a Fyora Day thing. It's far enough away to get this ball rolling quickly, but soon enough that everyone's enthusiasm doesn't peter out before anything happens. So in this little storyline, is Fyora stepping down or just naming an heir? Or is it perhaps a coup staged by some influential faeries/pets? Maybe the Battle Faerie takes over and declares martial law. XDDD
