Neopian Times Editorial (with commentary)

[pinkslorg]

Here's the editorial with commentary:

Pfish COLORS PLEASE! MORE!
Ok sure I will tell Donna!
<i>Ok then...</i>

Can You make More Pfish Colors / Avatars/ Shop Keepers?
Sure. Maybe we could have a Pfish day, or maybe just rename Neopets to Pfishpets... *checks to see if domain is free*
<I>Hahahah! Not.</i>

can u make more freezing items?
Yeah as long as they are balanced, and they aren't going to make Battledome fights really long and boring I don't see why not. Maybe ones that freeze 1 in 10, or only freeze Kikos, or something... hmmmmm.
<I>Cool! *crosses fingers and hopes for something more in my price range*</i>

There are trophies for Nerkmids, how about trophies for NeoCola tokens?
Hmmm why not. I shall see if we can get that programmed this week. Remember drink too much NeoCola and you will become a minion of evil.
<i>Doesn't affect me, but why not?</i>

Umm can you please fix the 5 sec rule thing?When i try to get an item it takes like 1 min for me to get anothr one e.e;
Yeah, I know, thats just a glitchy thing with our servers at the moment. We just need to defragment them a bit, and maybe give them a good dusting. I am sure it will be fixed by Monday morning.
<I>I don't think Adam means to do away with it completely, but it'll be nice for it to be fixed.</I>

Whats your favorite bubble gum flavors?
Octopus and Strawberry.
<i>Adam sure does like to pick worthless editorial questions.</i>

Will you ever lower your NP level again?
Yes, I just did it. Ok... did you get the avatar? Good! I'll set it back to where it was now.
<i>I think the asker was just had.</i>

Can you make the Kadoatery stock more often? like maybe every 5-10 minutes instead of every 30 minutes?
I actually specifically wanted it to be longer but there was a mistake made when programming... well not mistake, more miscommunication. I think it is going to remain about 30 mins or so, sorry about that. Remember, Borovan is sad, he wants a Red Draik Egg
<i>Oh well. (Borovan is sad? Nice try, Adam.)</i>

How about a Pirate and Maraquan Ixi?
I think that would look pretty cool. Evil fish with horns and hooves? We can do that Donna I hope you are reading this.
<i>Cool!</i>

are you still there?
Yes.
<i>Another example of a worthless question.</i>

How about a default setting for the new (relatively) neomail part? Where you can make colored font your default?
Possibly. I can ask about it!
<i>Neomail part? I'm confused.</i>

how do you get the asparagus avie?
All I can say is that it could involve 1,300 bottles of sand. Don't take my word for it though. I got it at around 1,560 personally but I have heard that the limit required can vary from account to account.
<i>That is a heck of a lot of bottles of sand.</i>

If you poke a BLUE candychan in the belly, will it giggle like the pilsbury dough boy?
No, it will bite you. Don't do it.
<i>Ok then...</i>

why can't you eat pickled olives..i mean.. they're food.. but you can't eat them..you can't even...play with them..YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM
Because the jar is closed and the lid is on so tight that it's impossible to remove.
<i>Good question! *plays hot potato but with a jar of pickled olives*</i>

Can you make another krawk avatar? there was no krawk avatar on krawk day
There wasn't??? Ok one will be added onto the todo list. It will probably be hard to get though knowing Krawks
<i>One avatar I probably won't get.</i>

Donna can't cook!!! You better order pizza!!!
She can cook actually, she does a very nice baked asparagus with parmesan and vinaigrette, a recipe we actually got from one of the Neopets players
<i>Nk.</i>

Are you going to come out with darigan petpet paint brushes?
Yes, why not
<i>Cool! I want one! </i>

How do you spell the Cooking Pot Faeries name? Is it Jhuidah or Jhudiah? It's spelt both ways many places and I'd like to know which it is.
Jhuidah. If it is spelled wrong somewhere then let us know and we can fix it.
<i>Semi-worthless.</i>

retire sparkshooters and I'll be happy for life.
Are you sure? If I go retiring them now and you are unhappy at some point in the future then don't come crying to me!
<i>Umm.... Just as a question, what does this person have against sparkshooters...?</i>

When will the next war/Plot be released? The last one wasn't all that spiffy
Yes, yes, I am sorry about that. The problem was that our TCG release just co-incided with a time where a lot of our artists were dragged away screaming onto other projects, and we had to make the decision to drop the story and concentrate on making the next one (Hannah and the Ice Caves) really good. I do apologise for that, but I am sure you will happy when you see the outcome! There will be lots of frozen skeletons and thieves and snow monsters to beat up in the Battledome
<i>*starts feverishly training Ripstie and buying battle items*</i>

PICKLED OLIVES DEMAND TO BE EATEN!
Seriously, Im still trying to open the jar... it's just not working. I don't want to smash it as then there will be glass in the olives and i'll have to throw them away. Maybe they sell something on an infomercial that can open jars easily... *turns TV on*
<i>Another??</i>

Do you REALLY like Asparagus that much, or is it all hype? And if so, why? It's icky.
Yes, I love it. It is especially good wrapped in proscuttio (cold italian meat). I had cold asparagus soup once too, with cream, that was awesome. I didn't like it when I was a kid, but then again I didn't like tomatoes, onions or mushrooms either, and I told my mum that I would never, ever like them. She is the one laughing at me now!
<i>Shame on you, Adam! You didn't like your veggies!</i>

Was Shaun Of the Dead Anygood?
Yes, we dressed up as zombies! We also saw the director who was very nice and signed a poster for us. Go Edgar! Then we met Beck which was completely random.
<i>I feel so out of it. I haven't even heard of that movie.</i>

How about a Real Life Asparagus Chia Plushie?
I wish
<i>Now, this would be nifty.</i>

Could you give us the option to make our fonts glow again? It's hard to be creative without those options... o.0
Yeah, I wanted that to be turn off and onable, but it didn't seem to happen. I am sure we could do it, if it was disabled by default. I shall ask our programmers! If only Microsoft would bring back the BLINK tag, then chat would be much more pleasing to the eye
<i>:\</i>

could you give the maps numbers? That way we'll know if we're getting ripped off or not.
That's a really good idea, I shall see if we can do that this week.
<i>YES, YES! Exactly! Brilliant question! </i>

And species healers for every pet, before neopets become a bunch of kacheeks.
K! We shall add them in on pet days from now on.
<i>This will be nice.</i>

what happened to neoschool?
Ok that's it, sorry I don't have time to answer any more of your questions! Hope you had fun
<i>ADAM! Waaaaa! Stop being so evasive!</i>

I thought Donna wrote the editorial. Did I miss something? o_0
So they are still together... Hah.

And you knew he wouldn't say anything about Neoschools.

Oh, now that was just plain cruel! @_@;

He did the editorial on the neoboards.
Notice the, "are you still there", question.

[Nani]

Oh... lol. I always miss it when he posts on the NeoBoards. Arr.

[Hakunatata]

I was wondering what was up with the "are you still there" question. o_o;

[HollyPop]

YESSS MAP NUMBERING!!!!!


I have wanted that for sooooo long...

[LAQ]

Adam should do the editorial more often! They aren't serious responses, but they're sure funny! My favorite questions is: "Are you still there?"

I got to admit, is was amusing. xD A nice change of pace, really.

map numbering? wha?


EDIT: oh...lab map numbering

[LAQ]

Map numbering would be very welcome to everyone. I mean, it's very difficult to find good deals on the individual pieces, when they're all named the same thing.

EDIT: Love this question also

If you poke a BLUE candychan in the belly, will it giggle like the pilsbury dough boy?
No, it will bite you. Don't do it.

Not only lab map, but every maps there is. They all need it.

Should have also asked about organizing the SDB while they were at it! That would be a life saver!

I don't think they are. I heard Donna cooks food and brings it to the office and lets everyone try or something of the sort.

You mean Donna and Adam were married? X_X
