I rarely get weird Neomails, which is kinda too bad because I find them entertaining. I remember that once I did a comic for the Neopian Times, though, and got a bunch of mail out of that. I used an old joke that lots of people know ("What's brown and sticky? ...A stick!") and a bunch of people Neomailed to tell me I didn't make up that joke and I shouldn't be acting like I did. I just wrote back and told them I never claimed to have made it up (one of my pets was just gleefully telling the joke to another), and I had never seen it used in a comic before, so it wasn't like I was plagiarizing. No one wrote back.

I also got a bunch of mail when I was #1 on the Volcano Run high score list, but no one asked me to play on their account or anything. They just wanted tips, which I gave.

Yep, I got one on 'can i plz have ur Cybunny? i /might/ (Rofl. MIGHT) give u anything!!!!'

I was polite and said that I loved Dani and I wouldn't give him up. (Ooo. xD; I love pixels.) They didn't reply.

hahaha I just got one..

Got an odd one this evening:

And no, I didn't blank out any bad words -- that's the way it came to me.

Then there's the fact that I don't have a krawk. . . .

Wow, the fact that you don't have a Krawk is probably the best part. They probably think all those underscore's are threatening and you buy them a Faerie Krawk so you won't be stabbed by flying fill-in-the black spaces.

You know, sometimes I find it really hard to be polite to people:



I have a plushie gallery of over 700 plushies. Wow, did I really just happen to miss the usulbat plushie that cost 10 nps on the shop wiz? Or did this person not check beyond page 1 of my shop. I won't even comment on the "borrowing" of the paint brush.

Oh, well, could be worse. Just the other day, I got someone telling me that I had to sell my purple negg to them for 4500 nps (1200 less than the market rate). And,she went on to say that, after all, I was making nps anyway. When I politely told her no and explained that I had happened more than that, I got a "Fine. I am reporting U." Go ahead, punk, make my day.

I've gotten a couple of odd ones mostly a while back though.

One person promptly neomailed me (back when I drew a couple of NT comics for fun) that I will never has as many trophies as Stoneman and that NO ONE EVAR WILLL!111one!!1

Another one told me that they would gladly donate the two blue ixi plushies to my ixi gallery if I bid 100K for them in their trades. :D

My most recent amusing one:

heya no affence but your stuff in your shop is quite expensive like those plushies they wont sell at that price (!!!!!!! NO AFFENCE !!!!!!!!) i dont mean to make you feel upset or angry but they r over priced.

X3;; Gotta love random people.

chibizoo, you have a plushie gallery, too? *hugs* I have gotten those types of neomails a few times myself. "Your plushies are so expensive. You would sell a lot more if you lowered the price," etc.

Umm, its a GALLERY!

It makes you wonder how many people actually have an ability to read. I mean, it only says in about 5 spots on the site that items above 100k cannot be bought.



Sometimes its hard to differenciate between a scammer and a newbie-newblet

XD; Yeah and in my shop it clearly says ITEMS priced at 100K are NOT FOR SALE. I have come to a theory that a certain popluation of neopets players can type but not read. They make up for their lack of reading skills by randomly typing to people to make themselves feel smart *snirk*

Oooh.. I own a uhm ixi gallery, which is where I get the plushie (ixi plushies) remark, but Kuri-chan (Kurisutaru) on PPT also owns a plushie gallery. o_O But wow I'm impressed you have so many plushies. Must be a pain to buy and look for all of them!

I hate to say it but the way you typed that sounds a bit snotty. I had no idea what a gallery was when I was new.

Well, when I first started, I didn't realize what kind of a "money pit" I was getting myself into. But, I adore plushies and they are probably the only reason that I continue to play Neopets. And, actually, I have a lot of fun looking for plushies. I never, ever buy anything unless it is a bargain. So, I love it when I find a good bargain!



If you check out my plushie gallery, you will see a statement in big, bold letters that nothing is for sale in the shop. So, even if a new person comes to the shop in an attempt to buy something, their eye would immediately go to that sentence and realize that nothing is for sale. And, if they didn't know what I meant by that, they could always write me and ask why nothing is for sale. Instead of being snippy and telling me to lower my price.

Wow, just wandered over to look at your gallery. Its very impressive. I bet there aren't many that you need is there.
My wife has a gallery, but its nowhere near as impressive, she only has 370 plushies, but isn't bothering with broken, ripeed or none plushies like cat nip.
If you want to take a nosy, her gallery account is cazaroonie, while her main account is carolinerogan

A very long time ago, and I'm talking 2-3 years, I got a neomail asking me to invest in Basketball.com, a new website starting up o.o

Can you believe I still need over 120? So, I gave up trying to complete the gallery a long time ago.

And, 370 is quite impressive for a person who started a gallery in December, 2004! So, your wife's gallery is nothing to sneeze at. If she ever wants to commiserate with a fellow plushie lover, tell her to drop me a line.
