You mean people pissed off when their stone pet got converted to.... Mystery Island, IIRC?

I haven't a clue :p But yeah, and all the people who paid top dollar for the retired items.
Not that that's stopped them from fucking with item distribution before, of course...

    Stone PBs are purely collectible, as they have no functional application. For that reason, the damned things are buyable.

    I think if TNT were to re-release the Stone PB in limited quantity and make new pets in said color, the collectors would be more than happy when their useless PB became a useful one that would (hopefully) increase in value.

    1. People use a couple of the Stone Lupe Morphing Potions...
    2. ???
    3. PROFIT!!

    I'm still considering this a win-win for collectors. Increasing demand for a Retired item by making it a functional consumable... that's a no-brainer in my book.

    I was operating under the assumption that they would become un-retired :p

    Thanks for the heads up, only got a 1k book, but w/e. Is this a daily for the time being?

    Also, transparent got my vote.

    Transaparent color is ugly. The woodlands and relic are the only decent ones I think. The maractite isn't bad but transparent is the worse. My thoughts.

    Guide to Faerie Weapons (yesterday)
    Codestone (today)
    At least training prices will deflate. Thanks for the reminder!

    Meh. I got a plushie(cant remember what it was exactly but its worthless). Its the first time im actually participating in this neowatchamacallit thing.

    Are the prizes completely random(with a set value range) or is it from a pool of random items that Neopets chose?

    Sorry if my question didnt make sense. I tried.

    Not entirely sure. Probably a large pool of small-value items to keep anyone from trying to exploit this event with multiple accounts and skewing the data.

    Favorite Games: And here they are in my personal order of preference:

    4. Neopian Battlefield Legends

    I hate that I had to drop this to the bottom of the list because it was probably tied for favorite to actually play... but with NC needed to get the highest possible score... fuck that... last place

    3. Jumpin' Gem Heist

    This felt like a one play and done game to me. The game has acceptable gameplay, but the fun and replay factor just aren't there for me.

    2. Kookia

    I admit that I played this game a few times for the fun of it. I wouldn't consider it an awesome game worthy of playing every day, but it was refreshing.

    1. Hannah and the Kreludor Caves

    FINALLY! A Hannah game that isn't plagued by the shitty shockwave plugin! And also one that isn't a dress-up/breakout clone...

    Players can make their own caves... and that is really where this game gets set apart from the rest.

    0. Petpetpet Habitarium

    How this didn't make the list is a mystery to me.

    And how the dickens Jumpin' Gem Heist is winning is beyond me.

    Am I missing something?

    Like a good ratio?

    Voted for that Tower Defense game, but only because I disliked all four games. That Tower Defense was so poorly made. I'm amazed that game designers can fail to grasp the basic concepts of a genre that is so popular.

    I second that.

    Would have definitely voted for the TD game, cept its so bullshity. Build a tower and units change paths. Most annoying feature ever.

    Ended up voting for kookia because.... its actually fun on hard. Nostalgic too, since there was a similar game to kookia that i used to play when i was a kid.

    The tower def game isn't bad but it is such a rip off of all other tower games. Not only that its a NC sink.

    I don't have money to spend and hate seeing neo go in that direction. :(

    Dunno bout you guys, but I definitely have the gold trophy for that game and have not spent 1$ in the NC mall.
