Hey guys,

With the state of faerieland, I'm hoping there will be a war both for fun and profit; but I've never monitored price inflation during previous wars..

Was wondering, if there is a war, will things inflate significantly? If so, what would you recommend investing in? Y-blasters and armoured neggs?

Would there be much risk to this? I see armoured neggs flopping *as soon* as the neggery is reopened..

    The chance that there will be a war is very little. Though if there was a war prices would barely inflate as it seems this plot is gonna be more about working on puzzles together with other neopet users.

    I'm wondering where all this war-related info. is coming from :/. As much as I would love to see another war, somehow I highly doubt it and I'm thinking it's another AoTA site-event or something. :(

    Georgina posted AT LEAST 3 times there isn't gonna be a war in any more plots. Seems that everyone ignored her.

    i think everyone has selective hearing on the war thing, because everyone WANTS a war - therefore, if they ignore everyone who says there won't be a war, they can still hope.

    Forgive me if this question seems ignorant, but why would I take Georgina's opinion over anyone else's? Im not trying to be rude. I'm just wondering if she has some sort of inside information, or some kind of connections within TNT.

    It isn't an opinion. If you look at the other threads (at this point theres like 1000 or more like 3-4), multiple people have mentioned that Neopets (TNT) has come out with an editorial on the subject of wars. They said that wars were giving the wrong impression on the younger players especially in this current state of event (or the previous one - Iraq/Afghanistan/etc).

    I guess it was a bit presumptuous to say that nobody read anything because I guess if you only read this thread - you wouldn't figure it out. However, I still think that 99.99% of the people that post don't actually read. As evident in the other plot threads. They all go a little like this:

    Poster 1: OMG, FAERIE STONE!

    Poster 2: IT BETTER BE FUN.

    Poster 3: WAR

    Poster 4: TNT SAID THERE WILL BE NO WAR

    Poster 5: WAR

    Poster 6: TNT SAID THERE WILL BE NO MORE WARS!!!

    Poster 7: WAR

    Georgina: FACEPALM.

    you get the general idea

    That's funny. Right after the Enron collapse in 2001 they copied the stock market by crashing a few stocks. Sidenote: also consider that no one here has managed to produce the original editorial that stated no more wars. I'm not saying there will be a war, just that kids have been passing this editorial story around the NeoBeards for years.

    now it's at editorial 460 :o What does this mean?

    Gotcha :) I have no opinion one way or the other (considering I couldn't care less about any sort of Neopets plot). I was just curious. I would like to see a link to the editorials in question however.

    OFF-TOPIC: What's the proper way to use a period with paranthesis? Does it go before or after them?

    If there is a war, tnt would have done something everyone wanted.. so naturally it wont happen.

    Unless you're citing a source in which you need a period, the period goes after the parentheses. Unless a full sentence is in the parentheses, but it still wouldn't go at the end)

    I am so hungry (for cake to be specific. Just in case anyone was wondering).

    Or like... Hello there (Mr. or Mrs.).

    I'm not saying there'll never be a war ever again (though it looks likely at this point there won't be) but this doesn't look like a war. Looks like another stupid fucking puzzle plot to waste everybody's time for 2 months. Also, another NC sink and another slap in the face to people who don't want to cough up $50 to TNT every once in a while just so they can get these perks until they get inevitably frozen. :thumbsup: NP is doing great. Keep up the good work.

    Hey as long as they make money, I don't think they care. The bd doesn't really make them money anyway, they don't sell bd items in the nc mall...thankfully.

    I remember in one of those long ago ages editorial that they weren't going to focus on wars because it wasn't really kid friendly.
