One day down, 20-something to go. Got an AAA score, which is a good start. Doesn't one of the NTWFers own a pet named AAA? c: Ah, yes there is, but don't expect them to show up. They still love AAA as much as ever, but it's hard for them to see AAA handled by a different team, and therefore they're avoiding this event. It'd be best to respect their decision and space. Oh.... Oh dear.  I didn't think of that. Yes indeed, I'll leave them be. I just recalled that there was a big AAA fan here. |

They still love AAA as much as ever, but it's hard for them to see AAA handled by a different team, and therefore they're avoiding this event. It'd be best to respect their decision and space. So far I wouldn't say JS had done anything drastic to AAA's character. Admittedly him calling Daily Dare a "silly competition" is out of character, but JS had Abigail point that out so they know this. I'm willing to see where JS goes with this idea, I'm too wondering what this "Project X" is. I'll still respect their decision and space, of course, but I'm just saying that AAA's character isn't sacred and open to different interpretations. Is it just me, or does Lulu seem more 'rounded out', so to speak? Rounded out? Do you perhaps mean to say this:
Never did I think this video will be appropriate for Neopets.
Anyway, I actually do have a concern with Lulu but it's with her character. Yeah, yeah, we joke how during GMC she breaks into the room of the team hosts, but that's because the theme of the event is based around those two hosts thus things from those hosts would make for good NC items. But during Daily Dare she usually was doing her own thing. Like in 2013 she was at Camp Wannamakeagame and send post cards about her (and AAA's) time there. 2012 was when Roo Island was swarmed by the unknown purple Petpetpets and Lulu went on a journey to find where King Roo went in order to help solve this problem. Than previous to all that she required you to beat her (low) score of the games played. However they now have her basically doing her stealing shtick here (sure it's because she's looking for AAA's room, though we're still going to be entering other character's room and taking their stuff). I'm just hoping they don't keep playing up this side of her every time DD or GMC comes around. |

Is it just me, or does Lulu seem more 'rounded out', so to speak? It looks like she's wearing a corset, so really, it's hard to say. Formal wear does all sorts of weird things to one's shape. xD (But it's not like distinctly non-Neopet-like features haven't been on other plot characters before, anyways, right?) Regarding the event itself: I'm usually kind of ambivalent to Daily Dare (usually the AAA events are never at a good time and the Daily Dare in particular just takes a long time of sustained focus), but I figure I'll at least try some of them and see what prizes I can actually manage to get.  Got something like 4500 on my first try on Hard mode, almost won in fact, before losing pretty much all of them in a row, so yeah, I did another quick game and settled for the Abigail prize figuring I care more about the book than the cards anyways. |

... Is it just me or does Lulu look, uh, kind of sinister?

Duke Pikachu-Yep, that's exactly what I was referring to, hence the euphemism of 'rounded out'. Carolyn-It's that grin of hers. Granted, she's not as bad as Topsi (nice, back to back sinister bunnies), but still EDIT: Oh right, before I forget, if you go back to the DD hub, you'll get another conversation between Abigail and Aristotle.

Dueling Decks. Never have I made so much effort to lose on purpose in a game. I tried to give back some of my cards to Zenco every now and then to keep the game going, but he kept playing his weakest cards (goriiiix) and almost making me win the whole deck. It wasn't too difficult to reach AAA's score, though. Is it just me, or does Lulu seem more 'rounded out', so to speak? .___. you call that rounded out? Her current clothing is more tight-fitting than stuff she's worn in previous events, and she has a ribcage, and she has a waist, and
why are we even talking about a Cybunny's figure here, maybe that's why Topsi clutches that armful of Neggs at all times ... Is it just me or does Lulu look, uh, kind of sinister? Yes, that, the JS style. I think it's because her eyebrows are hidden by her fringe, so her expression is ambiguous. Her eyes are less wide and less shiny than they used to be. Jumpstart and Cybunnies don't seem to be getting along so far. |

So, to continue our now confirmed reasonable fear about Topsi... anyone notice Lulu is missing something?  Like... you know... a reflection? Vampire much? |

I think JS TNT like Cybunnies... there seems to be a Cybunny at the helm quite a bit. (Well, two instances I can think of)...

Liou- My apologies if I mentioned something I shouldn't have. Now that you mention it, you may be right about the dress. I do remember that in previous years, Lulu's worn a hoodie or something loose. I guess it's a bit jarring to see Lulu wearing something else.

Also, I prefer Abigail's prize over AAA's prize for today anyway. XD Well apparently you're not the only one, because according to the Shop Wizard, Abigail's prize is more expensive than AAA's. |

No where near my all time best, but I was able to defeat AAA.
A couple of tips for those having trouble reaching AAA's score:
Type 'piecrust' to completely refill your ammo meter
Taking all 4 parts of the clown (head, body, arms, legs) will net you a total of 13 points (35 clowns will need to be destroyed, it's actually 34.64). The body is worth the most, @ 6 points.
A larger screen may aid you as you can possibly target those near or at the back.

Yeah, time is the real enemy on CoD. I pick the clowns apart as quickly as I can, just burn through ammo like you don't even care and then piecrust. It's more than enough ammo to get you through but if the clowns spawn slowly time can be tight.

This one wasn't bad for me (typically I'm the worst at shooters but I did get the avatar score way back when). "custard" is the other cheat code, for if you are low on health, but you probably won't need to use it; the trick is mostly to keep track of your time and ammo and basically, once they get low, use up whatever's extra to balance that out. Generally the golden ratio is to get the arm and then the insta-kill spot on the front of the body, but if you get extra ammo/low on time you might want to start picking apart all 4 pieces; generally you can safely ignore the pies but they are worth extra points; if you're getting low on ammo, just try to get the one-hit kill every time. Most importantly, always always always shoot any time or ammo refills that come down in the back. |
