Now y'all can halfway hush about "when are the prizes coming???" I say halfway because apparently another plot needs prize-ing. Oh, wait, that's the Altador plot, isn't it? You mean that one that I never finished? (sweatdrop) Errr, perhaps if Cyodrake's Gaze becomes a plot, maybe it'll be one I can actually finish this time!

Well, Altador's still open, so you could still finish it if you want.
More on topic, I got a 2nd place trophy, avatar, sidebar, and 75 points. Kind of funny since I totally sucked at the game -- no kidding, my round totals were 0-1, 1-0, 2-1, and 1-1, with practice round 2-1-1. Now what to buy with those points? I'm assuming the 50-point one will be somewhat rarer than the 5- and 10- pointers. But which of the 10-pointers should I get? Do they leave the prize shop open indefinitely? Then I might wait and buy once something becomes high-demand (like the LDP prizes and the crystal ball avvie)...

If I were you, I would spend the points now because who knows how long the prize shop will be open?
My issue with Altador is that I couldn't get the dang water facility thing to get corrected. I tried every combo I could think of for a long time and nothing worked, so I gave up.

Prize shops remain open for a veeery looong time. Quite possibly years. So there's no hurry to get your prizes right this moment unless you plan on being away from Neopets for three years or so. But I guess you wouldn't care much about prizes then anyway.
