It looks an awful lot like this

ARGH! That's insanely cute! It's one of the most adorable avatars I've seen...

[NumberSixPlushie]

Um...I don't know what it's supposed to be, but that's the av Totally random thingy I guess, lol.

That was an awesome idea for a contest! I sure had an embarassing time, explaining what I was carving LOL! I finally gave up and told my friends if they asked (or laughed) again I would just turn the Slorgeriser on them

Yeah I saw a great pumpkin on another forum and it wasn't picked...maybe they just didn't submit in time. I submitted mine right after I finished gulping down the bowl of candy I had left (due to the fact that I scared all the children away). I don't envy Donna having to sift through all those entries!



Psst! Donna, you probably didn't forget your pass, you were probably erased like I was (I stopped coming here for awhile and came back recently to find myself vaporised, heh heh).

What does the special contest avatar look like? I don't think I've seen one yet.

Awww I want it!! Any chance of releasing random contests that you dont have to have the skills of a surgeon to win?!?!

PS A contest based on incoherent babbling would be good!!

[SierraRaven]

BTW its not my first time here I just forgot my pass heh We often check fan sites, as well as the editorial its the best way to know what people think about everything.

I think it's great that both you and Adam care enough about your players to spend some time checking on our viewpoints and ideas! The interaction on the boards is great, and we players don't feel so "neglected". It really brightens my day!

Oh, and tell Adam about "Wash and Wear" shirts. Or he could always make a bartering deal with a Glendale Dry Cleaner -- a banner ad in return for free dry cleaning!!

Oh yes, the next contest will not involve carving at all. We have lots of ideas for these contests and they are all well... totally random, so everyone should have a chance of winning eventually

Heh I wouldnt mention banners to Adam right now

[Ledi]

And is it the same avatar for every random contest?

[Ken]

Woohoo! I like this random contest idea.

*Goes to update petpage*

[Cranberry]

That avatar is adorable! Hopefully I have a skill I can use in one of these random contests. *Waits eagerly*

Yup same avvie, although the other prizes will vary depending on the theme of the contest.

For example best Neopets sock puppet would probably give a Whack A Sloth themed prize, best poem about a hidden tower item - something Fyora themed etc.

Should be, the url for the av says randomcontest.gif

I can't wait to see what the next contest is!!!

For anyone who thinks they can't carve a pumpkin...give it a whirl with a cheap after Halloween pumpkin. I came in first and haven't carved anything but two eyes and some fangs in a pumpkin before. It just took some planning and those nifty 'safety' pumpkin carving knives, punches, and a spoon (will Neo reimburse me for it, I bent it, haha!). There are tons of great pumpkin carving guides on the web that help a lot.

*thinks Donna has caused the players to become obsessed with Slorgs, 3 Slorg pumpkins won!*

What item did they get for the Pumpkin Carving Contest? Just curious.

Im looking forward to the sock puppet one, we used to make those as kids so that should bring back some memories! *wonders if she should wash the sock first....*

Ps Oh by the way Donna and Adam show your support for ppt by reading here: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8245 hehe its very 1337

No trophy or anything is out yet...have to wait and see! I haven't even gotten my np yet.

*oops, heh, I know the forum looks diff from when I was last here but didn't know it got reset*

Donna, Adam, when are we Aussies going to get our Dice-a-Roo and things back? I'm missing them, and my enthusiasm for Neopets is fast going downhill because of it...
