I was way out of practice, only beat AAA by 2 points on my first try.

Neopets appears to have site issues again. Be aware that the connections are rather tenuous and scores may not go though if you can get to them.

Got my score in for today, in the event it goes down again. Not risking it with a stamp on the table.

Seems to have settled down. Did my personal best on this beastie.

Whoohoo stamp! I have so far managed to beat every AAA challenge except Destruct-O-Match.  Gonna keep chipping away at it but mehh, I hate having to think ahead and strategize when I'm playing a simple arcade game. Gimme a straightforward test of reflexes any day. |

Patjade : I dunno if this is an intentional pattern or just a coincidence, but I've noticed that the lag in the past two days seemed to spike around 6:00 PM - 12:00 AM NST. So for those of us that can get on Neopets before that time frame, I'd recommend not waiting to get your challenges and important dailies (Like Trudy's Surprise) done.

Unfortunately, Von Roo is between 1200-0100 NST, and is at 1600L (for now). |

I got a chuckle when they offered either the STAMP or a +2 increase in Speed. Gee, such a hard choice... Breakingchains : If you'll like here are some quick tips for Destruct-o-Match III that could help: - At the start of a round you want to look for the Multiplier
 . Your goal for each level is to save the boulders that are the same color as the Multiplier for last so you can connect as many of them together for big points (obviously make sure the Multiplier is part of the large group). - The second boulder you'll want to keep an eye out for is the Timer
 . Try to get rid of that as soon as possible, even if it is the color of the Multiplier. The indestructible block it turns into can potentially block chains. - Otherwise there's really no much else I can say except additional tips how to use the other power-ups:
Fill  add another row of boulders so wait till mid-game to use it when you would have room in each column for another boulder.
Explode  destroys all boulders around it. It's best to use AFTER using the Multiplier. In fact many use it as the very last boulder as the less boulders you have at the end of the level the more bonus points you get.
Overkill  destroys all boulders the same color as it. It's a tricky boulder as it could end up costing you points but also help with the Multiplier (if they're not the same color). Before using it make sure there's no other chains of the same color you can make as you won't get points for any boulder that's destroyed due to its effect.
Morph  you may also want to get rid of as soon as possible as it changes to random colors and bad timing mean you could have it change and ruining a potential big chain. But if you think you're fast enough it could be a key boulder in connecting smaller chain groups together.
Wildcard  is like Morph but you don't need to wait for it to change color (which is good and bad as you could accidentally use it in a chain you didn't mean to). It's handy in connecting separate chain groups.
The last two, Undo  and Shuffle  , have their effect saved at the bottom to use anytime.
Undo
Undo  isn't that useful as you shouldn't be making a mistake. It also doesn't undo chains that had a special block further limiting its use.
Shuffle  however can save you. Before you make the final click, see how many blocks you have around. If it's a significant number and you have this power-up, I suggest using it as it could create some more chains to get in extra points. Don't worry about "saving" it, you'll usually replenish it next level.
Also I noticed they actually mixed up the order of the games from the leaked list, thought they're still the same games. At this point the remaining games are: Caves & Corridors, Meepit Juice Break, Hasee Bounce, Petpet Cannonball, Carnival of Terror, Gwyl's Great Escape, Jumpin' Gem Heist, and Nova Defender. Also has anyone noticed we haven't had a Double Dare in a while? |

Had to laugh a bit at the AAA prize for today, Meepit infested tree... Oddly appropriate, seeing as we lost our favorite tree in our front yard to a storm early this morning... RIP, Bradford Pear V2.0...

GLITCH ALERT!Because we couldn't go one event without a glitch... There's a current glitch where DD is not registering which sibling you're challenging. After challenging either AAA & Abigail, be sure to refresh the page to see whether your pick stuck or it's asking you to pick one of them again. Don't know why just now this glitch started happening, but keep a lookout on the Neoboards or yourself for when this glitch is finally resolved. Luckily today's game challenge isn't that difficulty ( hint, use the codes). If I was TNT I'd also reset everyone's "# of games played" for Carnival of Terror also but that probably isn't going to happen...

I made sure I had the right sibling picked, played the game, and it still reset, so no dice there. Nope, just not taking. I keep selecting, refreshing the page, and it resets. |

The glitch is fixed! Also, make sure you get the prize TODAY! The "Release Day" Prize is a REALLY good healer: Parachuting First Aid Kit  33% max healer. Once per battle. Limited One Healer. If you don't have a better healer already this may become a new staple! |

Glad that I had only played twice before realizing the glitch, got everything on try 3.
