Hoo boy I never thought I'd be juggling the Obelisk battles AND the Altador Cup. But here we are.
LET'S GO SWAY, LET'S GO MERIDELL

Had a NT comic idea while playing altador cup
Yooyuball is about to get tossed to "Scrap" Taggert on Team Tyrannia, and the Yooyu sees the massive pointy tusks aimed right at him, and he just "NOPES" out of there.

I don't really mind that one of my poems got rejected because I made it into the Nimmo Day gallery anyway and because the poem rejected was whipped up in like 15 minutes before I went to bed. (Probably should've just gone to bed instead.)
But HEY JUDGES DOES THIS MEAN YOU'RE GIVING ME THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO BACK TO NQ AND NQII POETRY - *shot* I haven't had a NQ poem in the gallery in YEARS. I wrote a couple but I never heard from them again so yeah. Not sure what to make of those. BACK TO MY BRAND.

Congrats on the Nimmo Day poem though, Kat! It looks like we were both inspired by restocking XD; My Quiggle Day poem was inspired by the Health Foods shopkeeper.

Congrats, Stephanie! GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE
I had no idea the Wheel of Monotony Quiggle was a super common subject for poetry, should've gone with Quaglor. Or Leirobas. Ah well, time to rack my brains for Kau Da - OH SLUDGE KAUS FROM NQII
(That was fast.)

As of today, I have been playing Neopets for 15 years. Holy cow.

NC trading has gotten really weird these days. I remember when it was simply barter trade / gift exchange. You have something I want, and I have something you want? Perfect! Let's exchange things!
Nowadays, people hoard pretty things they don't actually plan to use just because those things are "pops." (populars) I feel like the vast majority of things on people's tradelists aren't things their pets have outgrown, but rather things they've acquired on purpose for speculative reasons. It's become such a ridiculously intricate economy.
I stepped briefly into the NCC to obtain some items for a summer custom. As soon as I got them, I hightailed it out of there. The amount of hoarding and speculation drives me nuts.

These NC Collectibles have been really impressive lately! Really detailed animations. The Sneaking Neggnapper Collectible animation is really long and quite smooth, and I just checked out the entirety of the Ghost Lupe/Jeran painting one, and it surprised me how elaborate it was too (I thought it was just a shaking portrait, but nope. Ghost Lupe literally comes out of it, howls, and then scampers). Almost regret not snagging one just for the cool factor. But this really makes me hope the next items in this collection strike my fancy...I have certain hopes when it comes to this new series, Tricksters and Troublemakers. You think a certain blue Ixi thief could count as an example of the latter?

The Neopian economy can be so emotional o: Yesterday a Slushie Stand foreground was auctioned for 10 million. Now there are 3 in auctions priced between 8 and 9 million.
Two days ago an Altador Cup Tailgate Grill Apron sold for 6 million. Today I only barely managed to sell mine for 4 million.
I suppose, I am just grateful I managed to sell it at all! Hard to say whether the prices will continue to dip, or rise again in the next couple of months.

Jellyneo actually has some of the plot comics remastered as well, including Battle for Meridell! HatIC isn't there yet, though, so that's cool to know it still is preserved somewhere. I didn't even realize the latter comic was broken until recently T.T

I didn't even realize the latter comic was broken until recently T.T Omg, I hadn’t realized they’d managed to save BFM! I’d only seen the CoM (edit: uhhh...Champions of Meridell is what I meant. I see the other CoM is included there too) update on their news. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! JN did a really good job.

Has anyone else noticed that old Neoboard messages aren't being deleted after 7 days anymore?

So I'm editing my 12-part series after getting another TMGE and Part 1 just sailed past the short story word limit. (I mean, for a series, it doesn't matter because the max word limit is 50,000 for a single series part but STILL.)
Hydra series. Each time it gets TMGE'd it gets longer and longer as I edit and rewrite.

Why do I have a feeling this question was submitted by (a frustrated) staff on the Support Team.
