The '''Tombola''' is a free daily chance game on [[Mystery Island]] that was released on June 9, 2001. To play the game, the player chooses a ticket, and if it ends in a 0, 2, or 5 then they win a prize. Otherwise the player has lost, though they may still be given a consolation prize. Occasionally, the [[Tiki Tack Man]], who runs the tombola, will run out of money, and will appeal to the Neopian Public for funds (usually approaching a million [[Neopoints]]) before he can resume allowing users to play.

==Prizes==
* [[Bottled Faerie]]
* [[Codestone]]
* [[Neopoints]]
* [[Gross Food]]

===Booby Prizes===
Occasionally, even though the user hasn't drawn a winning ticket, the [[Tiki Tack Man]] will still give out a booby prize (originally, a booby prize would always be given out in the event of a losing ticket, but this was changed for unascertained reasons). This is usually a useless, or ''junk'', [[item]] and up to 200 [[NP]].

* Bottle of ''(random color)'' Sand
* Palm Fan
* Plain Faerie Cake

* Toy Sail Boat

Colour

2011-10-31T10:15:24Z

220.255.2.167: /* Active Colours */

'''Colour''' is an attribute of a [[Neopet]] that affects its appearance. When a user creates a Neopet using the ''Create a Neopet'' feature, they can choose one of four basic colours for their new Neopet: Blue, Yellow, Green, or Red. After the Neopet has been created, the user can change the colour of their Neopets using one of several different methods detailed below. The colour of a Neopet is always displayed on that Neopet's [[pet page]].

The term colour is also used in reference to [[Petpets]]; however, the mechanics by which Petpets change colour are quite different from those of Neopets. Since Petpets are [[item]]s, changing the colour of a Petpet will change that Petpet into a completely different item. For example, if a user changes the colour of their [[Babaa]] to [[Blue]], their ''Babaa'' item will become a ''Blue Babaa'' item. In order to change a coloured Petpet back into its original form, users have to change the colour of that Petpet back to the ''natural'' colour of its species. For example, to change the aforementioned ''Blue Babaa'' item back into a ''Babaa'' item, the user would have to change to the colour of the Babaa back to [[White]], which is the natural colour of the Babaa species.

Not all Neopets and Petpets are available in every colour.

==Changing a Neopet's colour==

===Paint Brushes===
:''Main Article: [[Paint Brush]]''

The most common way to change a Neopet's colour is to paint it with a Paint Brush at the [[The Rainbow Pool|Rainbow Pool]]. To do this, a user must first have one or more Paint Brushes in their [[inventory]]. Next they must go to the Rainbow Pool main page, where they will be shown a picture of each of their Neopets. Beneath each Neopet, there will be a drop down box containing each of the Paint Brushes in the user's inventory that can be used on that particular Neopet. The user must then select their desired Paint Brush and click the submit button to paint their pet.

===Morphing Potions===
:''Main Article: [[Morphing Potion]]
A morphing potion is a potion that will change the Neopet's species/colour to the specified Neopet in the potion's name. They are distributed at the [[Neopian Magic Shop]]. A potion that morphs a Neopet into a Mutant neopet is name a Transmogrification Potion.

Once a Neopet has drank a morphing potion, they acquire all the genes of the entitled species and/or colour, but can be transformed once more with a new potion, painted, or change by the Lab Ray.

Here are the Colours available via Morphing Potions:

===Secret Laboratory===
:''Main Article: [[Secret Laboratory]]

There are nine map pieces you can get from a [[Random Event]] or from a user's store. When the lab ray is used on the selected pet it can raise or lower the Neopet's stats, change the gender, or change the species and/or colour of the selected pet. The Lab does have limitations: it can't zap Neopets into Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, or Usuki.

===Magma Pool===
{{main|Magma Pool}}
When the [[Magma Pool]] is visited, your Neopet will change to a [[Magma]] Neopet. Unfortunately, there is a [[Magma Pool Guard|Magma]] [[Tonu]] blocking the entrance, and will not let you in, however, he might be dozing off on the job and you can pass by him.

===Random Events===
:''Main Article: [[Random Event]]''

Though they occur rarely, certain Random Events can change the colour of a user's Neopet. These Random Events will only change the colour of the user's active Neopet, and as of April 16, 2010, they will not affect unconverted Neopets.

There are currently five colour-changing Random Events. In the first of these events, a torrent of multi-coloured water falls on the user's Neopet and changes it to a random colour. In another, [[Boochi]] fires his ray gun at the user's Neopet and changes its colour to [[Baby]]. There is also a [[Random Event]] in which the colour of the user's Neopet spontaneously changes to Invisible. Lastly, there are two colour-changing Random Events that can only occur if the user's Neopet is [[Neopet#mood|unhappy]]. The first of these will turn the unhappy pet Blue and the other will turn it Red.

===Magical Chia Pops===
:''Main Article: Magical [[Chia Pops]]
If your Chia eats one of these, the [[Chia]] will transform into a uniquely coloured Chia. [[Kiko]]s can also be turned [[Chokato]] if they eat the ''Magical Chokato Chia Pop''. Interestingly, while both Kikos and [[JubJub]]s can be zapped into [[Garlic]], this colour does not exist for Chias at all. Also, if you want to make your JubJub or Kiko look like a pumpkin neopet, you would have to paint it with a [[Halloween]] [[Paint Brush]]

===Magical Plushies===
:''Main Article: [[Plushies]]
Magical plushies are sold in the [[Plushie Palace]] along with regular plushies. Any Neopet plushie with the word "Magical" in it's name is considered a unique item that acts similar to a Morphing Potion and will actually change the pet that played with it into that named/coloured pet. The item is only good for one use and, after, the magic will be used up and the item will become a simple Green Kiko Plushie.

Here are the colours available from these items:
{|align=center
|-valign=top

*[[Blue]]
*[[Cloud]]
*[[Gold]]
*[[Green]]
|width=250|
*[[Purple]]
*[[Rainbow]]
*[[Red]]
*[[Silver]]
|width=250|
*[[Starry]]
*[[Yellow]]
|}

===Rainbow Fountain===
:''Main Article: [[Rainbow Fountain]]
The Rainbow Fountain was introduced to [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] in 2001 as a reward for signing up with sponsors. Signing earned you coupons toward painting/changing your pet. There used to be no restriction of what [[species]]/colour your pet could be changed to, and the only colour exclusive to the [[Secret Laboratory]] was Robot. This sponsor program lasted for a month then shut down.

Years later it was brought back on Neopets and this time there were some restrictions on colours you could paint your pet. The fountain won't allow you to paint your pet [[MSP]], [[Royal]], [[Sponge]], [[Ice]], [[Usuki]], [[Quiguki]] or [[Robot]]. Changing species was no longer an option. You must successfully finish a [[Quest]] for the [[Naia|Fountain Faerie]].

There is an item called [[Flask of Rainbow Fountain Water]]. When utilized on your Neopet it will randomly paint it any colour available for that species.

==Changing a Petpet's colour==

===Petpet Paint Brush===
:''Main Article: [[Petpet Paint Brush]]

These Paint Brushes are made for PetPets, even some secret laboratory Neopet colours are made in paint Brushes for PetPets. There are two exclusive colours like [[Dung]] and [[Black]].

===Petpet Laboratory===
:''Main Article: [[Petpet Laboratory]]
This area can be utilized by obtaining all nine pieces of the Petpet Laboratory Map, these can be obtained from [[Random Event]]s. It can change the type, colour, level, name of the selected Petpet, or even make it disappear forever. Petpets who are targeted by the Petpet Lab ray are unable to be awarded by the [[Petpet Protection League]], because they will see it as Petpet cruelty. If the petpet is removed from your Neopet, it will reverse the effects that are applied to the zapped PetPet.

'''''Neopets''''' is a [[Wikipedia:Digital pet|digital pet]] gaming website founded on 15 November 1999. It is set in the world of [[Neopia]], a planet where creatures called [[Neopet]]s live. Players can create and adopt these [[Neopet]]s, build and furnish a [[Neohome|home]] for them, and earn [[Neopoints|currency]] by playing [[games]] in order to buy items. Neopets can be painted different [[colour]]s and [[Neopet Customisation|customised]] with different clothing.

The site is free to play, supported by [[wikipedia:Display advertising|banner advertising]] and [[Wikipedia:Sponsor (commercial)|sponsored]] games. However, users may sign up for [[Neopets Premium]], introduced in 2004, for [[wikipedia:USD|$]]7.99 per month, which hides the advertising and provides access to special features including access to beta versions of developing games. Additionally, in 2007, [[The Neopets Team]] introduced [[Neocash]], which can be bought for real money and used in turn to buy special wearable items for Neopets. It functions as a separate economy: Neocash and Neocash items cannot be traded for Neopoints.

==Company history==
Development of ''Neopets'' began in 1997, with it finally being launched on 15 November 1999 by [[Adam Powell]], [[Wikipedia:University of Nottingham|University of Nottingham]] graduate, and [[Donna Williams]]. By [[wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]], the website was receiving [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.12/neopets.html?pg=2 over 600,000 page views a day]. By January they were seeking further investment, and Doug Dohring, who was experienced in market research, saw the website's potential and bought the company. After this, the company's offices moved from the [[wikipedia:UK|UK]] to [[Wikipedia:California|California]], [[Wikipedia:USA|USA]].

''Neopets'' continued to expand both on and off the web: in November 2001, the company trialled merchandise at a few select stores in California, and the following year more merchandise became available in the USA through [[Wikipedia:Tween Brands|Limited Too]] shops. Merchandise was launched in the UK through [[Wikipedia:Claire's|Claire's Accessories]]. The [[Neopets Trading Card Game]] was launched in September 2003 and would continue until 2006.

In 2005, media company [[wikipedia:Viacom|Viacom]] bought ''Neopets'', [http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2005/06/21/viacoms_mtv_buys_neopets_for_160m/ reportedly] for $160 million. The same year, Adam and Donna left [[The Neopets Team]], the staff who are responsible for running the site and producing new content. In July 2008, Viacom branded ''Neopets'' a [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon Virtual World|Nickelodeon Virtual World]], and launched the spin-off site [[Petpet Park]] that October.

The website celebrated its one trillionth page view since its founding in 2011.

==Gameplay==
Players of the site must sign up for a free account. This allows them to own Neopets and participate in the world. Each account can own up to four Neopets, a shop, a [[gallery]], and a Neohome each. A player may also sign up for up to four additional "side" accounts to own more Neopets, but they may not use these additional accounts to earn Neopoints. Players are expected to care for their Neopets, including [[food|feeding]] them, [[toy|playing]] with them, and curing them of any [[disease]]s they may catch. Players can use the [[Quick Ref]] page to keep track of their Neopet's needs.

Basic care of Neopets can be learned from [[Neopets Jr.]], a simple version of the site catering to young players or those new to the website.

Neopets has its own functional economy. Players earn Neopoints primarily from playing [[games]]. These Neopoints can be used to purchase [[item]]s. The main way new items enter the economy is when they are bought from [[wikipedia:Non-Player Character|NPC]] [[shop]]s. Items can be sold between users in player-owned shops, and many users turn a profit from buying up cheap [[item]]s, that have a high resell price, when shops restock. Items can be bartered for other items in the [[Trading Post]] or auctioned off at the [[Auction House]]. Some rarer items - such as [[paint brush]]es and [[Treasure Map]] pieces - are only given out by [[random event]]s or as prizes from [[plot]]s.

Plots are story lines that occur in the Neopets world. They often involve the release of new themed worlds, and users can follow the story and participate by solving puzzles or fighting in the [[Battledome]] - a game where trained Neopets are equipped and fight [[wikipedia:Turn-based strategy|turn based battles]] against other competitors. They are the main means that events effecting the whole of Neopia transpire.

Players may set themselves other goals, including collecting certain items to display in a gallery, or filling their [[Stamp Album]] or [[Neodeck]]. They may train and arm their Neopet for the Battledome, seek to paint and customise their Neopet, or decorate their Neohome. The most well decorated Neohomes can be entered into the Neohome Spotlight, which awards trophies to the players with the best Neohomes. Other spotlights include the [[Art Gallery]], to which the player may submit their drawings, the [[Poetry Contest]], and the [[Gallery Spotlight]]. The website also operates weekly contests like the [[Lenny Conundrum]] and the [[Caption Contest]].

The site also operates the [[Neopian Times]], which publishes player authored stories, articles, and comics. It features an editorial where The Neopets Team answer players' questions.

===Community===
A large portion of the site is given over to community interactions. Users can view other users' profiles (called [[user look-up]]s) and their Neopets and trade with them. Players over the age of 13, or those under 13 who have returned a parental permission form - in accordance with the USA's [[Wikipedia:Children's Online Privacy Protection Act|Children's Online Privacy Protection Act]] - can send [[Neomail|messages]] to each other, talk on the site's [[Neoboards|chat boards]], and can form themed [[guild]]s with their friends.

Certain games, like the [[Battledome]] and [[Kacheekers]], can be played with other players over the internet.

===Rule breaking===
The Neopets Team have several systems in place for dealing with rule breaking. Minor infractions may often receive a warning at the discretion of the staff, whereas repeated or more serious infractions can be dealt with by suspension: this prevents a user from accessing their account or anything associated with it - e.g. its Neopets, its Neopoints, its shop - until the suspension has elapsed. Suspensions can be issued for different lengths of time, and subsequent suspensions tend to be longer.

For very serious or continued rule breaking, the player can be frozen. This permanently locks the user out of their account, and any other user who searches for that player will just receive a message that the account in question is frozen. If a player believes they have been wrongly frozen, they can submit a frozen account ticket in the Help section to have the case reviewed and submit extra information about what happened. All the details of the account remain saved, so if the review finds in favour of the player the account can be restored in its entirety.

For rule breaking specifically relating to the Neoboards or contacting other players, a user may be silenced for a period of time. While silenced, they can still play the site but cannot communicate with other players at all, nor modify their user or pet look-ups.

None of these actions are carried out by automatic systems: an employee of Neopets reviews each case before acting.

==Merchandise==

''Neopets'' produces a range of merchandise, including plushies, stickers, and stationary. The merchandise retails at many mainstream outlets such as [[Wikipedia:Wal-Mart|Wal-Mart]], [[Wikipedia:Target|Target]], and [[Wikipedia:Limited Too|Limited Too]] (of which was the first outlet of Neopets merchandise). There are also online retailers involved, such as [http://99dogs.com 99dogs] and [[Wikipedia:Zazzle|Zazzle]].

In September 2003, the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]] was published by [[Wikipedia:Wizards of the Coast|Wizards of the Coast]]. The trading cards are a collectible card game based on characters and settings from the website. As well as being collected they can also be used in a two-player card game. In addition to the base set of cards, there have been nine expansions mostly set around the site's plots. The last expansion was released in 2006.

Several off-site video games have also been released, starting with ''[[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]'' in 2005 for the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]] then ''[[Neopets: Petpet Adventures - The Wand of Wishing]]'' in 2006 for the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation Portable|PlayStation Portable]]. In 2008, ''[[Neopets Puzzle Adventure]]'' was released for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]], and [[Wikipedia:PC|PC]], and in 2009, the [[wikipedia:Leapfrog Didj|Leapfrog Didj]] exclusive title ''[[Quizara's Curse]]'' was launched.

Between 2003 and 2008, [[Wikipedia:Beckett Media|Beckett Media]] published a bimonthly magazine called [[Neopets: The Official Magazine]]. Twenty six issues were published before the magazine was discontinued.

In 2005, it was reported that a [[Neopets (film)|''Neopets'' film]] was in pre-production, but nothing has materialised.

==Trivia==
*A [[Wikipedia:Google search|Google search]] feature was added to the basic Neopets search on November 21, 2006.

User Lookup

2011-10-30T10:08:32Z

220.255.2.100:

{{construction|reason=Expansion of sections, including new ones (see linked redirects), wiki images needed}}

A '''User Lookup''' shows the stats of a specific player on [[Neopets]]. Can be customized by the user with different colors and images.

==Contents==
All the available contents of the User Lookup...

===User Stats===
These are items of the user lookup which cannot be edited, and must be shown at all times to all viewing users.

'''Name'''

The name associated with the user account name. Although designed to represent the users real name, it can be used for pseudonyms, general false names, etc should the user wish. On users who are under 13 without the correct form sent to the Neopets headquarters in compliance with [[Wikipedia:COPPA|COPPA]] regulations, the section is unmodifiable and reads 'none'.

'''Last Spotted'''

Shows when the user was last on Neopets. Lowest it can show is ''Under one day ago'' and highest up to a few hundred days. If too many days pass since the users last log-in (unknown how many days), the ''Last Spotted'' bar will display "A long, long time ago".

'''Gender'''

The gender of the user. This is a customisable feature which can be changed whenever the users chooses, making it easy for a user to confuse their true identity on the Neopets.

'''Country'''

The country the players account is stationed in. This is another customisable feature which can be changed at any time. One of the many known reasons for users to change this is to gain access to certain games, such as the [[:Category: Luck and Chance Games|Luck and Chance Games]] when Neopets blocked users of Australia from playing them, or for special offers available only to specific countries.

'''Started Playing'''

Shows the exact date when the user created the account. This is not necessarily when the user first joined Neopets, only when the specific account in question was created.

'''Shield'''

Visually indicates how long the user has been playing Neopets. Each shield is unique and is generally updated every month. One exception are the shields before 1-month old which go in order from Newbie to 3 days to 1, 2 and 3 weeks. The other special cases are the shields after ''6 years'' which are updated every 6 months from then on. The oldest shield is currently ''12 years''.

'''Hobbies'''

Shows a collection of three hobbies the user enjoys. All choices that can be selected from a list of them below...

Some users have been known to show different hobby options than what can be chosen in the lists provided by Neopets. This is probably from special User Lookup coding the user created.

'''Shop'''

Displays a link to the user's [[shop]], as well as its name and size, if applicable.

'''Gallery'''

Displays a link to the user's [[gallery]], as well as its name and size, if applicable.

'''NeoDeck'''

Displays the name of and link to the user's [[NeoDeck]], number of total cards, and how many unique cards, if applicable.

'''NeoHome'''

Displays the address of and link to the user's [[NeoHome]], number of rooms, and all bought extensions, if applicable.

'''Guild Info'''

Displays the players rank in their guild and the guild's name and link to it, if applicable.

'''One Player BD'''

Links to the Battledome History and displays number of [[1-Player Challengers|1-Player battles]] fought and won in the [[Battledome]], along with a percentage, if applicable.

'''Adventure'''

Displays the link to and title of the current available adventure the user created from the [[Neopian Adventure Generator]].

'''Sidebar Themes'''

Displays the total number of [[Sidebar]] themes the user has collected.

'''Secret Avatars'''

Shows the number of secret [[Avatar]]s the user has collected.

'''Tyrannian Army'''

Shows the rank and score of the user in the Tyrannian Army. Works as a link to the [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/townhall.phtml Tyrannian Town hall], where the defence to [[The Tyrannian Invasion]] was organised from.

==User Lookup of the Week==
If a User Lookup is exceptionally well made, if may be featured in the '''User Lookup of the Week''' contest.

On April 27, 2007, Neopets released [[Neopets 2.0]], a redesign of the website. The redisgn drastically changed the customizable HTML and CSS sections of the site, which included user lookups. Because of the changes, many user lookups appear broken and chaotic, including all the archived user lookups of the ''User Lookup of the Week'' contest. To fix this, for contest #116 starting May 2, 2007, all older entries were purged from the database.

==User Trophy==
'''Trophies''' are rewarded to players who have completed grand achievements in the game. These achievements cover a wide range of [[Neopets]] features: [[high scores]] in [[Games]], winning competitions like the [[Contest|Poetry Contest]] or getting into the [[Art Gallery]], participating in [[Plot]]s, etc.

===Site Event Trophies===
Site Event Trophies may be war medals but can be trophies of achievement in any Plot. They are issued with different ranks depending on the user's participation in the plot, but they do not always have a different medal image per rank.

They appear on one's [[User Lookup]], with the exception of certain pet-specific trophies (see below).

===Site Feature Trophies===
Site Feature Trophies are awarded for participation in certain site features. Each [[Defenders of Neopia]] series has its own series of these trophies, and the higher ones in each series replace the lower ones in the usual fashion. Each trophy signifies a win against one of the Defenders of Neopia challengers. Also among these is the [[Lutari Talisman]].

===Standard Trophies===
Standard trophies are usually given out for gaining high scores in games, but can be given out for reaching a certain game stage, such as completing a game of [[Neoquest]] or having a winning caption in the [[Caption Competition]]. Standard trophies usually come in three types: gold, silver or bronze (in decreasing order of importance). There are some exceptions to this rule, for example the Invasion of [[Meridell]] trophies, which have four stages, and sometimes there is only one trophy for a certain activity, such as the [[Neopian Times]] or Beating [[Punchbag Bob]].

===Neopet Trophies===
There are some trophies that may be awarded to Neopets themselves. These include third, second and first place [[Beauty Contest]] trophies if an owner's picture of the pet wins a [[Beauty Contest]], the [[Faerie League]] key, [[Pet Spotlight]] award, or an Oldest trophy that some of the very first Neopets possess. These appear on a pet's lookup.

===Other Trophies===
Additionally, there is the Root canal trophy, awarded only to [[The Neopets Team]] staff members who have had root canal surgery.

There are certain trophies that are awarded only to a user's pet. These include third, second and first place Beauty Contest trophies, Faerie League Keys, and Pet Spotlight awards. These appear on a pet's lookup.

==Trivia==
*When a user submits their user lookup into the User Lookup of the Week contest, they do not need to resubmit into the contest. [[The Neopets Team]] will contact the user, and let them know if it's was rejected, placed on hold, accepted, etc. Resubmitting only puts the user at the very end of the list. Revealed in the the editorial of issue 239 of the [[Neopian Times]].
*For ''User Lookup of the Week'' contest #116 (May 2, 2007), Neopets added a feature which showed how many more user lookups they needed to go for the contest.

Princess Amira

2011-09-11T13:48:37Z

220.255.2.35: /* Trivia */

{{Construction| reason=Plot summary needs to be expanded a lot}}
[[Image:Amira HTD.gif|right|frame|Amira's ''How to Draw'' final image]]

'''Princess Amira''' is the oldest [[Aisha]] daughter of [[King Coltzan III]] and current ruler of [[Sakhmet]]. Her younger sister [[Princess Vyssa]] held the throne for her while she was away on political missions, and was the original inheritor of the throne, but because of Vyssa's young age, Amira took over in her stead.

Princess Amira is described as beautiful, elegant, cultured, and refined by those who know her personally, and enjoys exploring music and the arts. Amira finds her rule of Sakhmet to be boring and bothersome, due to the many suitors asking for her hand in marriage, and longs to be away from such a life and have excitement.

==Plot summary==
===Lost Desert Plot===
{{main|Lost Desert Plot}}
[[Jazan]] had tried to force Amira to marry him, but she denied. Many suitors had done this to her, and when she refused, Jazan added monsters (his creatures) to Sakhmet. When Prince Jazan continued making it worse for Sakhmet, Amira made her guards, including General Dacon, to save the people and keep them safely into the palace. After Jazan commanded Amira's servants to prepare a wedding, she almost married him, until [[Nabile]] and Jazan fell in love and married. [[Razul]] later on attacked Sakhmet, so Amira and Nabile had tried to escape the chaos.

==Better Than You==
Princess Amira has been a contestant on [[Better Than You]] once:
{{BTY|October 9, 2008|We've heard new reports of a massive bug attack in Neopian Protection Zone 6b. I'm worried our agents there will be overwhelmed. I'd appreciate it if you could journey there and lend them a hand. Any outstanding bravery will be well-rewarded.|Swarm - The Bugs Strike Back|3,600|Heart Stepping Stone}}

==Trivia==
*Amira's [[Neopedia]] article was released on July 4, 2005.
*The name "Amirah" itself means "princess", which might e a reference to Amira's status as a princess.
