New SHH - Portal Activation Centre

[Daze]

Second SSH:


Third SHH:


Event board is called Portal Activation Centre


Starting with the new day, occurrences of this new (and slightly weird) Random Event has been sighted.

Is this just an odd quirky start to our new relationship with Jumpstart.....or a plot in the making??

It is time to start our conspiracy theories!! LOL

~~~

I will start:
There is room for an image to the left of the text, but it is blank. Has it been released too early?

Also a board made about this SHH on the Help Chat (where you will find me between Plot/Event boards) was deleted (but this could have been for a different reason).

It is being seen everywhere on Neo and not just locked into one place. Could this be like the "Earthquake" REs we had before the Obelisk War?

It more than likely has something to do with the recent sell of Neopets to JumpStart (topic of discussion already started). TNT even notes that the Random Events will change, so...likely just that. Though I wouldn't mind a transition plot where in the whole of Neopia is threatened. Could be fun.

[Daze]

In the news TNT state that the probability of a RE will increase for this week, but no mention of new RE's.

Also this RE is popping up regularly and a lot of people are getting it, which would suggest at least a particular message is being sent to us.

I got mine on the Neoboard Preferences page. The image code has a scrambled name, which also suggests TNT are keeping it a secret. When the image is broken down (FF Inspect Element) there is an area for an image on the RE.

The code has event in the name. It could just mean RE or it could mean we are having an Event.

The link does not work, although that is the actual image code. Image has now been uploaded.

Oooh. And it's just in time for the cancellation of DD. I know TNT said "we're busy transitioning so new stuff for you guys for a while," but if they already had this ready to go, it could be something relatively small to keep us around while they're busy. I'm not expecting fullblown plot, but maybe a mini-mini plot type thing. Sounds like it might be TROTROTROS?

[Daze]

Yep, I was coming to add a comment about the Editorial 633 answer about the cancellation of DD (Feb 21 edition).

Hey, TNT. Can we expect the Daily Dare in March this year? ~weaponstar
AAA is still pretty exhausted from the Games Master Challenge and is taking a bit of a break. However, we will have other content to keep you guys entertained.

* Great minds think alike Siniri.

Fantastic!

Great news this week, and I'll get on it with the wiki asap.

Woah, today's Haiku is weird too:

Scorchio, careful
exacerbates though 0 leaf
monolith, tall rock.

The Obelisk..?

[Daze]

I think that might just be a normal randomly generated haiku. The '0' in that is glitch that sometimes happens with the haiku ( I don't think TNT would put a hint in a glitched message).

The SHH has now been fixed and is showing an image which looks very much like a luturi.

This could mean the reopening of Lutari Island on the new Mobile App that TNT have been planning to release.
I am trying to get the whole SHH image to update the 1st post.
First post updated!

[Pickles]

Looks exciting. I kinda hope they don't start anything step wise until next week, though! Odds are, though, that I won't get my wish granted.

I guess they "increased the random events" to both celebrate and to get us to do more page clicking so we'd see this one? I still haven't managed to catch it yet.

[Daze]

It was just mentioned on the boards that the image looks like it is being transmitted through a smart phone! LOL, I didn't even think of that.

I think we will be teased for awhile with these hints. Fingers crossed for you Pickles, that you wont miss out on any of it.

ETA:
From the updated news:

20th March

Oh no! It looks like something has gone wrong with Random Events... Perhaps there were just too many occuring at once. Maybe if we wait around, they'll go back to normal again! Meanwhile, we have heard reports of garbled messages being reported around Neopia. They couldn't possibly be related, can they?

[Pickles]

Thanks, Daze.

Just noticed I have the exact same Haiku as Julia. Weird...

[Julia]

I've noticed I haven't gotten any REs lately either, if they are "broken", then I hope they're fixed soon.

[Siniri]

I just got off from my 11-hour day (nothing compared to Blue's hours, I know, but it's long for me). I've had too much to do to worry about Neopets lately. At least I have home internet for now, though I'd rather wait until the part to fix my laptop screen arrives -- or at least hope it's all mouse and no keyboard.

[Blue]

11 hours is long enough, Siniri. Blech.

exacerbate is one of my favorite words. I don't know why, but it is. I use it a lot at work. Probably because its germane.

Anyhoo - this is exciting news. I would imagine that it is indeed the prelude to a new mobile app. I agree with whoever said the snowy image looks like a smartphone. We shall see

[Daze]

A new RE is being seen today. First post updated.

*static* -- there hear me? ...My original workshop *POP* -- looks like a water tower -- *ffffff* -- there to teleport to... you arrive. *static*

A STEP HAS BEEN FOUND. THIS IS A PLOT/EVENT!!!!!

http://www.neopets.com/magma/portal/?

1. Water Tower: An easy step, get all the lights green and get a prize.

BOOP BEEP

The control panel makes encouraging noises. Looks like you've figured out a correct sequence. The Petpet zooms over to a pile of gears and other treasures and extracts this for you:
Something Already Happened Cake Plate

Another SHH when you have done step 1.

*static* I need supplies to -- *crackle* -- is located underground. *sssss* -- in Magma City... my ship. I'll give you -- *BOOM* Hurry, would you? *static*

2. Ship

[Siniri]

Yay, I figured out the step on my own! I happened to be worm-hunting in Moltara City when I got the SHH, so I just clicked what looked obvious. I got the "second" SHH before I solved the puzzle, so I think it might be referring to the same step.

P.S. The prize I got for solving this step cracked me up, especially the description. I think since we're getting a prize for each step, this is probably a mini-plot.
