in a sense they did, when they announced in the news that hall of heroes was open to public, even though it had already been open for a week or so, they also suggested going to the archives. They didn't quite go out and say it, but it was basically an announcement that the plot was open

Yeah, they tell you without telling you. It's strange, but it wouldn't feel quite right if they announced in the news that 'An Altadorian Plot has begun. Look in the Hall of Heroes to begin...'

They can't really say when the plot has started. They offer a lot of clues, like answering questions about it in the NT Editorial, and opening blatantly mysterious places such as the Altadorian Archives and the Hall of Heroes, but specifically stating that a plot had started would just be a bit strange, like giving away random sections of the plot. Part of the plot is working out that there is a plot, and if you can manage to be on Neopets for this long and still not notice the Altadorian Plot, then there is very little chance of them ever completing the plot themselves.


I agree, the people that actually need it pointed out to them that it has started would be the people just leeching off others anyways, just like were doing except less honourable :lol:

True. Technically, this board is leeching, but I'm sure that the vast majority of people who visit this have worked out most of the plot for themselves, and come either for minor hints, or to help others, or to just discuss, and put down opinions. I'm generally here for the latter.

And Neopets has said specifically that people are welcome to share plot ideas and information, and that it's not like any of the competitions - presumably because each person gets their own individual score, and can feel as guilty or otherwise with their prize. Those who worked for their prizes can feel a lot happier with their work.

im not saying what the board is doing is bad, especially since without darkfires mapping skills i would have already stopped doing this plot :D
but the people who would need the obvious pointed out for them would be the ones that would come straight here and not even attempt to do any work for themselves

Definately. The constellation searching is each individual person's own problem, and those who cannot even find the huge book perched under the table leg with the Lenny specifically saying not to take one are being a tad foolish, as one might say, and don't really deserve to get a good score from this plot.
