20th January news is up and runing *Runs after it*

Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:30 am

# New Challenger! - If that greedy Kadoatie has ever taken your hard-earned Neopoints, you can now seek revenge in the Battledome!


*HISS*

# Agogo's Bed and Breakfast has won the latest Neohome Spotlight. Congratulations to the owner, carrie24601.

# Kauvara has been hard at work in the Magic Shop creating these new Morphing Potions.

# A new issue of the Neopian Times has been released. Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like 10 Ways to Get Items From the Neocola Machine and A Helper For Hubert.

# There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was Pterattack Play Button. 424 people guessed correctly, earning them 4,717 NP each!

# A Plushie Hissi is no less intimidating than a regular one, except for that whole cuddly thing.

# Today's Pet Spotlight goes to a Halloween Korbat called Kormapolitan!

# After you pummel that Kadoatie in the Battledome, pick up some of this commemorative merchandise to celebrate.

# Don't forget, a new round of the Beauty Contest begins today!

# The latest Caption Contest proves that no one is safe from the greedy Kadoatie.

# A new page of lovely Poems has been added to the site.

# Some new books with a Xweetok theme are now on sale in the Book Shop.

# Guild Change! - Ad banners have been removed from guild homepages. Because some users saw banners and others didn't, it was causing some guild customisations to break for guilds with a mixture of these members. With the banner now removed, you may have to edit your CSS layouts a bit to line them up properly again, but they should no longer break for users without banners.

# You can now paint your Wocky Sketch at the Rainbow Pool.

# A garden is never truly complete without a gnome for decoration. You can pick up one of these new items in the Garden Centre.


New BD Challenger..Whoooo...if it's the Random event you got to get to get the Kadotite then it's going to be bloodyhard ;_;

I wonder what the difficulty will be for the kad? I don't really want that RE, but I am curious.

Nice about the guild change, though it will mean some recoding. At least once it's done again (I know argh) it will look the same for everyone.

The plushie hissi :P that tongue!

Is anyone else getting annoyed that it's never put up at the same time?:x For a while it was always almost exactly four o'clock, my time everyday. No it's whenever the darn well feel like it is seems, because I checked around ten my time and it still wan't up.

Okay. I know I can't be the only one out there, but does anyone else like the deranged look on the evil Kadoatie?

Sat Jan 21, 2006 6:44 am

I usually don't notice much about the art, but has anybody else noticed the really thick lines on some of the new items lately? The morphing potions today, and the Elephante day items?

It's really, really noticable (especially if I noticed it, when I usually don't!)

*sumbits to the Caption Contest, knowing, once again, she won't make it to the voting bit* Well, one can never give up hope.

I'm totally in love with that Kadotie, though. It's got a deranged look in it's eye that makes me giggle.

I noticed! Then again, can you hardly miss them? I was like, "Woah."

Yeah, it is very noticeable. I guess they're letting the artist who has already drawn so many thick-outlined pet colors create some items now. Still annoys me to no end. I can't stand those thick outlines in ANY Neopets art. :\

Also, am I the only one disturbed by that Uni in the Neopian Times image? Its head is huge... >.x

darn, I just got that RE like, last week :/

Reading the Tshirt... do you think you WILL get your money back?

*loves on the topic name*

The Kadoatie looks pretty cool. It's all fun and crazy-looking.

Yeah, it reminds me of an old Hanna-Barbara cartoon. It's kind of annoying to me--at least everything in Bedrock was all thick lined.

The plushie hissi that tongue!

Absolutely love the plushie hissi - TNT seem to have got it right this time. It looks like you could buy it from your local shop.

It makes it fairer for other countries/timezones when the news is put up at different times. Your 4.00 o/c is probably midnight somewhere else. It would be very unfair if one country always got the news during the day but another always had it early hours of the morning.

I actually like the look, at least on certain items. Not so much if everything was like that. To me, some of the fine line art started to look washed-out.

The thicker lines give the items, especially the potions better definition - more substance.

I wonder what the difficulty will be for the kad? I don't really want that RE, but I am curious.


I have had the R/E three times!! I wouldn't mind getting it once more, if it means getting the kadoatie as a challenger.

I personally don't like the look of the kadoatie from the news. I find it too ....... ugly. Kadoaties to me are cute, with a fiery personality; not an outright ugly monster!!

Interesting

Did anyone notice this from the Editorial?

About how much money does it take per year to keep Neopets up and running with the office, and advertising, and employees, ect...? ~ amandapanda1228

It really only takes about $3.50. All the employees are paid in NP, and bandwidth is really cheap nowadays.

Or not.

Actually, we have no idea. Us editorial-answerers are just glad we don't have to pay the bills!


My, isn't that funny? I was under the impression Donna did this the entire time and no one else.

Well, guess it's shows us more you guys. The Original TNT people are leaving us more and more, if they can't even answer Editorials now.

I'm glad that this question got in this week, seeing as how I was just complaining about it yesterday.

The Editorial wrote:Hi TNT! i think the new feature of the favourite games page was great but when i was going through the games i wanted to put on my list i was not able to find a link for my 2 favourite games (Sakhmet Solitaire & Pyramids). could you please tell me where the links are or if there are no links to put the games in the favourite games list, would it please be possible to create links. Thanx ~ kheld

The Favourite Games page is only for Flash games. :) PHP games are a whole different story since they do not have an ID number associated with them like the Flash games. We'll be adding something for those in the future.

That is a good thing. Non-flash games are so overlooked. :)
