This one is proving trickier than regular Wordle, just because the already-restricted word pool is even more limited xD Right now I have the technique of using any word, Neopets-related or not, for initial guesses in the hopes I can hopefully narrow the letters down for a more serious guess, but perhaps this will brush up my Neo vocabulary enough that I'll soon have a store of Neopets-relevant words ready to start with haha.

The NT will start accepting non-English stories! Good to hear the inclusion, but how will that work? I don't think they would be having different versions of the Neopian Times. Will it be like a "Foreign Article/Story/Comic" section? Will they be in the normal categories but placed on the bottom or be mixed and there will be a new tag next to each story telling you what language it's in?

From the neoboards discussion on this, here's what Mac has said so far regarding the NT specifically:
So it sounds like right now it'll be a mix of English and other language entries. I'm not sure if there will be a specific section for the latter, but I do have a feeling that ideas and execution for this will evolve as time goes on, so we may see different things between NT issues.

A heads up, but TNT announced that the site will be down tonight from 9pm-2:30am NST for a server upgrade, in case you try to log in during that time!

Successfully fixed a weird glitch where I couldn't customize one of my neopets. Unsure if it's a known glitch or not but the customization screen would load up and work fine for every other pet except my shoyru, where it would hang on the loading screen forever and never finish.
I looked at the grayed-out items on another pet's customization screen and figured out that she was somehow wearing multiple incompatible items (e.g. two dresses at once) because the system tried to load both her current customization and her customization from a much earlier date?? Pretty sure that's why it was borked. Transferred her twice between accounts to force-remove all the NC stuff and it repaired the problem. Throwing this out there in case someone else has the same issue.

So... I have an idea/concept for a marble JubJub. I am not an artist AT ALL! And I just tried to "draw" it out using Paint 3D. Because I figured since I can't draw using actual pencils, at least the computer might help me out a bit, by You guys. It. Is. TERRIBLE! There is a a reason "draw" is in quotes. I'm pretty sure a 3-year-old could do better. I am SO laughing at this monstrosity. Now. This leads me to two questions. 1. Do you want to see my abysmal failure? 2. Anyone with ACTUAL artistic abilities want to try to bring my concept to life? or would it be better to suggest it on the boards when they ask for ideas for upcoming pet days? I'm sure my idea isn't all that unique, either, actually.
I almost posted this on the Neopets Reddit, but I figured I might get downvoted to oblivion over there, and probably not a good first post. Ha!

Allison I for one am curious about your marble jubjub concept. I'm interested in the art too, but that's up to you if you're comfortable sharing it. I would say to suggest it on the monthly suggestions threads that Aesop does, yes. If it's something particularly visual, maybe find an artist to work with to illustrate your idea.

Ha! I wouldn't mind seeing it. I too sometimes mess around in paint when I have an idea and most of my creations come out questionably too. Of course a lot of time I'm just making a quick doodle more as a test of concept rather then anything meant to be official. But eitherway, since your Marble Jubjub idea is just meant to be a concept, don't feel ashamed if it didn't come out looking "right" (who knows, maybe the reason it didn't come out looking right is because the idea does need refining, therefore it was a good idea for you to do this to discover the setbacks early). So, if you'd like, I also wouldn't mind seeing it. And since fair is fair, here is one which I had posted elsewhere. The context is that we were discussing how to pronounce Pokemon names, someone said for a long time they've pronounced Suicune like "zucchini", and that inspired me to create this monstroicity I call Zuicchuni: I don't think Arcues is gonna quite forgive me for this one.

Okay. So the concept is basically making the jubjub into an almost literal marble. Like the kind you play with. No fluffy/furry look. Just round, with the tri-colored cat's eye coloring, and a 3-D sphere look. Maybe even some reflection. And then for the feet, again, make the toes marbles. Maybe a solid color. Now. Onto my drawing. Which.... yeah. I'm actually just going to attach it, because this does not even deserve space on any image hosting site, nor does it deserve the "coding" required to make it show up here correctly, since I like to edit the code a bit so it's not a link. Yes, you are absolutely 100% allowed to laugh, because I'm STILL laughing over it.
