Sun Nov 06, 2005 7:13 am
Community time! Let's all chip in to create a list of 101 things that just plain don't make sense on Neopets. Make sure you post the real numbers in your post so we know what we're up to
(Didn't have a clue where this should go, so I put it here
)
-----------------------
# 1. The fact that instead of simply climbing over or breaking the tables and barrels, Rohane and co. walk the long way around the Faerie Palace
# 2. The fact you get your ante back when you tie in Bilge Dice. If you get 100 (for example) back, and the other person that tied gets 100 back...where does the other 200 go ?
# 3. The scroll repository. Before it was built...where were all the scrolls ?
#4. The fact TNT saw it fit to turn the ghost lion into the boring ghost Lupe, and other such examples of 'neopianisation'.
#5. The removal of wine and other evils from neopets, when we could all be competing to grow vintage vine in Brightvale by now.
#6. The fact that my neopet actualy has hidden somewhere about 100k NP that I lost to her playing BlackJack over the years.
#7. Painting your pets.
#8. You can 'forget' to feed your pet for over a year and it will still be happy (starving, but happy!)
#9. When you paint your pet purple, there's little orange spots.
#10. For some reason, you're not allowed to steal from the Geraptiku petpet store shopkeeper.
#11 - The fact keeping sentient creatures as pets and having the power to starve and desert them is called "a game"
#12 - Underwater fishing...
#13 - With a single click you can jump from Neopia Central to the Space Station, but it takes hundreds to travel through The Faerieland Faerie Palace Neoquest Simulator
#14 - The fact Talinia can fire a spray of arrows and still manage to miss Terask II
#15 Neopoints are harder to counterfeit than real money
#16 Asparagus actually tastes good
#17 L33t h4x0r5 laser guns used by Dr. Sloth and Clubs and Stones used by Tyrannians
#18 <s>Jelly</s> Asparagus World
#19 - Why normal neopians can't talk about babies and where they come from (and get punished for doing so), yet the only characters on Neopets that can are the important ones.
#20 - How half the neopets population became living examples of "Baby Genuises" without anyone throwing a big fuss.
#21 - How our neopets are always smiling even when terrible things about about to happen.
#22. A day in a hotel is less expensive than an apple.
#23. People send mail constantly, even though stamps cost millions of NP.
#24. Every pet of the same species look exactaly the same.
#25. Instead of showing off your pet in the Beauty Contest, you show off a picture.
#26. No matter what you eat, whether it be a single fried egg or a whole turkey, your hunger level usually only decreases by 1 point.
#27. But free Pepsi is extremely filling. (Maybe it's the bubbles?)
#28 : The fact that one can purchase a shop to sell items in, for less than a brush with paint on it
#29 - Why, you rarly get items from the Money Tree is a mystery.
#30 - Why the Tombola Man didn't get turned into a neopet.
#31 - Why the stockbroker Chia is the only one with a red convertible.
#32 - You can build and fully furnish a Neohome, but it's impossible to live in it.
#33 - Evil was 'placed on hold' for a desert
#34 - The fact that some people (staff) have the ability to delete somebody from the face of the world
#35: that some Neopets suddenly look different based off of what some artist thinks the Neopet actually should look like, even though we already know what the animal looks like!
#36: That PETA (Cruelty Against Animals) doesn't exist.
#37: That we're allowed to have legally sanctioned pet-on-pet fights with our neopets without repercussions, yet will be wiped from existance for uttering the word sexy.
#38 : Villains always seem to announce their plans several months in advance. Rather than surprise attacks, the Darkest Faerie for example made us aware over a year ago of what she was going to do
#39 There's no technology in Neopets, yet there is a Space Station and Sally the Usul has a computer her bedroom) and TV (looks like a big screen in the livingroom) in her house
#40 You need to refresh for certain avatars, opponents and things like attaching petpetpets, but you can be frozen for refreshing "too much"
#41 Profanity is not permitted by anyone on the site, yet there is profanity on the site.
#42 Furniture for neohomes ... why is an area rug 200 times bigger than a bed in the same room?
43- A garage sale can last for about 5 yrs
44. a day in a hotel is less than the cost of neocrackers

47. The Lair of the Beast... need I say more?
48. School supplies for a school that doesn't exist.
49 : Neoquest map moving. A single square is the perfect size to fit your character, a town, a cave or a computer chip. Just like magic...
50 : Advertisements in a virtual world. It'd be like walking down your street with a giant "Click the monkey and win a screensaver" sign flashing above you until you move into a new area...
#51. A ghost can not only rob you, but it can rob you when you have no points on you.
#52. Random birthday cake falls from the sky and lands in your lap.
#53. All the petpets in the world randomly craved Green Jelly at exactly the same moment.
#54: Even though neopets makes over a million dollas a year they still need ads.
#55 the fact that there is a new species every couple of months
#56 how there is at least one war a year
#57 that these wars only last for a few months
#58 your petpets live for years on end without any food at all
#59 what does the krawk in dubloon disaster do with the dubloons he collects when you send your score
#60 how come some faeries are really big (illusion/jhudora) , but others are small enough to fit inside a bottle.
#67 where are all the temples of a thousand tombs? (one per person, right?, they gotta be around here somewhere)
#68 why do they keep denying that Jelly world exists even though everyone knows it does?
#69 why do the faeries always ask us to get items for them? why don't they get off their lazy bums and buy it themselves?
#70 who discarded The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity?
#71 what species is the tombola man?
#72 what do the faeries do with all the items we get them?
#73 Toilets in Neopets, are there are use for them?
#74 The impracticalness of the cloud toilet and the ever growing dung toilet.

#77 how you can fit thousands of items in that itty bitty safety deposit box
#78 that a bit of paint can completly change the appearance and attitude of your pet (think baby/darigan/snow/snot/custard/chocolate)
#79- there can be ads for things that if you say them on neopets you will get freezed, and yet they allow the ad
#80- different people have different religions, and yet we only celebrate Christmas
#81 : Shopkeepers. You don't pay them, yet they'll happily stand in the exact same position, repeating the exact same phrase for an eternity
#82 : Food doesn't rot. I've had the same banana in my SDB for over two years now.
#83- How the Neopian Times editors say they answer your question most of the time without even putting it in the editorial. Do I have to explain more?
#84- How a pile of dung is rarity 101 and apparently 'unbuyable' and 'undonatable'. Hmm, wonder why? -_-
#-85 People complain when there is a clickable avatar and that is too easy, and they complain if it isn't clickable and you can't get it straight away.
#-86 You get money for hitting a plushie with a stick.
#-87 You can carry 50 rocks, but can't manage to carry 51 cards...
#-88 People leave Food and Drink lying on the ground, and you feed it to your pets.
#-89 Shopkeepers say "I won't take any less than --- Neopoints" but then do.
#90: How some factory reject plushies are more expensive than the "perfect" ones.
#91: A giant egg can suddenly appear, and instantaneously be made into over 10 different types of omelette.
92. It's considered perfectly normal for people to be named "HoTrokka930_teheeh!"
