2006/Y8 Altador World Cup! (Split 12)

[Officer 1BDI]

I saw this on the Neoboards. I have no idea how accurate this information is, but it at least sounds... plausable:

http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic. ... c=91518595

Here is what I have found out so far... There will be two trophies, for 1st and 2nd place. They will only go to DC's and HW's on their team since round 1. All others will get a participation medal.


Any players on DC or HW at any time will get an avatar. HW players since round 1 will get a new sidebar. Then everyone will get a certain amount of points to spend on Altador related items based on your scores and wins accumulated over the 4 rounds.

I work for an advertising agency that does work for Viacom. So I know some minions in the neopets offices. This isn't finalized yet, so it could change. The prizes could be released as early as tonight, or as late as Thursday night. ←

The board I got that on is about to explode, but if I see a follow-up board, I'll post that link so anyone interested can follow this. He also says he knows nothing about the status of the plot prizes, so even if this is true, we're still in the dark concerning the outcome of the Altador Plot.

Edit: Newest board (as of 9:13 PM NST) is http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic. ... c=91527488 .

Will players who were on DC or HW at any time receive the same avatar, or would it have been better to have played for DC and for HW to get both avatars?

And it sounds like there's nothing special awarded for being on the right team at the end unless you were with that team from the start?

I really dislike Neopets' typical lack of disclosure. I don't like how they never give odds to any of those gambling...err...games of chance, so you can't really teach your kid about odds, gambling, determining what's statistically a "fair game", etc. In the real world, the odds are legally listed. But back to the subject, I dislike how the method for scoring this game was withheld, and I dislike how the prizes were never conveyed up front. If I had known it didn't matter who you chose at the end if you were already on an eliminated team, we wouldn't have stressed out so much about who to choose.

My interpretation was that people who were with either team at the end, regardless of who they were with at the beginning, will get avatars. Those who were loyal all four rounds will get extra spiffy trophies, and those loyal to HW in particular will also get a sidebar (which I strongly suspect is the Halloween sidebar, but I may be wrong. I hope I'm wrong, because that would be kind of lame...).

There's still other prizes, but no one outside of TNT seems to know what they are. You'll probably get extra points for said prizes for being loyal to X team, but that's just my guess. >_>
