'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007.

==Plot summary==

===Chapter 1===
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity.

When they went to find a ship to sail them to their destination, they were directed to [[Captain Rourke]] by a [[Pirate]] [[Shoyru]], who said he would be the only one who would take such a dangerous task. Even Captain Rourke had misgivings, but with the encouragement of a large bag of [[Neopoints]], offered the services of his ship, the SS Primella. Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

===Chapter 2===
As Rourke has expected, the SS Primella was quickly plunged into a storm. Lasting three solid days, the visibility was so poor the adventurers did not know they were near land until it was upon them. The storm sucked them against the rocks, smashing a hole into the SS Primella's hull, and as a huge wave reared to swallow the ship, Rourke gave the order for a hasty 'abandon ship'.

Morning dawned, and the crew found themselves washed up onto the very island their sought, the storm having finally subsided. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and after some debate, the Captain resolved to remain and do his best to piece together what was left, while the others - excluding Scrap, who the Captain snatched up to help him - went to explore the island.

As they left, the Captain threatened that he would leave once his ship was repaired at the slightest hint of danger, but Scrap told Lilian he would prevent him from leaving until the Proffesor's party had returned.

They moved through the thick plant life with initial caution for what strange creatures may reside in the island, but danger or not, as Lilian spotted the rare plant from the journal, she ran forward, Roxton and company chasing after her, and straight into a [[Ravenous Monster]].

==Plot participation==
===Clean the Deck!===
Users had helped Scrap clean up the deck of the SS Primella, by arranging items in a certain way so as to fit in a grid, so that he could remain on board.
===Battledome===
Users had to fight the insect-like Ravenous Monster in the one-player [[Battledome]], native to the Island, that was terrorising the adventurers.

==Trivia==
*The use of a book that will be filled as the plot progresses is a similar plot device to that used in the [[Altador Plot]].
*On the second page of the first comic, [[Garin]], [[Jacques]], [[Linae]] and [[Bruno]] can be seen in the background of the pub. Garin, notably, has his earrings in his right ear, which is likely to be an artist's mistake.
*In the background of the pub in the first comic, there is a painting similar to the [[Wikipedia:Dogs Playing Poker|Dogs Playing Poker]] series.
*An error would sometimes occur if the user left the ''Clean the Deck!'' puzzle before it was finished, and start over from the smallest grid. Refreshing the page brought the user back to the latest puzzle.
*The story has references to [[Wikipedia:The Lost World (Arthur Conan Doyle)|The Lost World]] by '''Arthur Conan Doyle'''. One of the hints is the character [[Roxton A. Colchester III]] who obviously was inspired by [[Wikipedia:Lord John Roxton|Lord John Roxton]].

Cheat!

2007-05-06T17:37:55Z

85.130.165.246: This is about the game of Cheat!, not cheats!

{|align=right style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px"
|http://images.neopets.com/neopedia/38_table.gif
|-
|A game of Cheat! in the [[Neopedia]] article "Little Timmy".
|}
Are you tired of those goody two shoes games where honesty and fair play are the aim of the game? Don't you just once wish you could cheat and get away with it? Well, now you can. Use all of your skill and cunning to beat your opponents in a breath taking game of Cheat! If you beat the '''3rd, 5th or 7th''' rounds, you also earn a trophy!

It only costs '''50 NP''' per play. So what are you waiting for? Get Cheating!

==How to play==
*To win a round, you have to get rid of all the cards in your hand. Once you beat a round, you can continue to the next highest difficulty.
*On your turn, you can play 1 to 4 cards of the same value. Pick the cards you want to play by clicking on them; then you have to select what you want to tell the other players. It's okay to cheat!
*If someone guesses that you're cheating, you have to take all the cards from the pile and add them to your hand.
*When the computer players take a turn, you can accuse them of cheating (if you think they are!) or you can let them get away with it. If you accuse them and you're wrong, you have to take the pile! But if you're right, then THEY have to take the pile, and you get some Neopoints for catching them!

==Hints==
* When you have cards of the number that should be played, play them all. Don't hold back.
* Don't claim to have four of a kind when you don't. Someone will have that other suit or will have just placed it in the pile, so you're likely to be caught.
* Similarly, you know there are only 4 of each number card (one in each suit). So, if another player puts down more than the player could have, that player is cheating. For instance, if another player puts down "3 7s", and you have 2 7s, you know that player is cheating. You should accuse them.

==Your Opponents==

|-

When his red eyes are staring at you, you can just feel them scanning your every movement... watching every move in your face. If you cheat, he will know, there is no doubt about that. Spectre is a Neopian millionaire, and only ventures out of his mansion when inexperienced players are up for a fleecing.

==Trivia==
*The game is exactly like the real-world game [[Wikipedia:Bullshit (game)|BS]], which is considered a vulgar game to some because of it's title, and is referred to as "I doubt it", "Peanut Butter", and other such tamer titles instead.
*There are 6 [[Book]]s which can be bought in [[Neopets]] featuring the stories of players and their experience with Cheat!.
*The [[Petpet]] [[Pinklet]] is said to give a [[Neopet]] advice on how to cheat at every card game, yet it is not mentioned at all in reference to the game Cheat!.
*[[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]], the plot with the discovery of the Lost Desert, starred characters from Cheat!, and the game of Cheat! played a large role in the plot.

Stamp Album

{|align=right

The '''Stamp Album''' is a collecting tool for users to place certain collected items (also considered a game called ''Stamp Collector''). While it has long been common for Neopets players to collect specific [[Item]]s or types of items to exhibit them in their [[Gallery]] (formerly as ''unbuyables'' in their shop) or in their [[Safety Deposit Box]], stamps, collectable coins, sea shells, and evil coconuts were released specifically for collecting.

Stamps, collectable coins, sea shells, and evil coconuts are tradable items, hence can be bought from or traded with other players, but can also be bought at official Neopets [[Shop]]s, such as the [[Post Office]]. Once they have been placed in a player's album, however, they cannot be removed.

There are [[trophies]] available for those players who collect the most stamps, coins, shells and coconuts.

Jelly World

2007-05-03T11:22:13Z

85.130.165.246: /* Plot summary */ Is ths clearer?

[[Image:Jelly 2005 01.gif|frame|Jelly World main map.]]
'''Jelly World''' is a [[Neopia]]n world constructed entirely of [[jelly]]. The cause of its creation is unknown, although it has been suggest that it may have been commissioned by an eccentric billionaire or the result of some form of magic spell.

The first reference to Jelly World was in the New Features section on 30th March 2002, where it says "...and of course the upcoming new world 'Jelly World'...". Countless times [[The Neopets Team]] has denied the existence of Jelly World (which, interestingly, was TNT's first reaction to [[Robot]] Neopets). Jelly World has had several links to it by people claiming it exists throughout Neopia, including one in a quote by [[Number Five]] in [[Cellblock]], but many the links are dead ends, similar to some of the links given to the [[Hidden Tower]].

The most notable attraction is the [[Giant Jelly]], similar to the [[Giant Omelette]] in [[Tyrannia]], which gives out a free piece of jelly to its visitors once per day, unless it has run out. Should it have done so, it is regularly replaced. Each piece of jelly gives two servings.

The game [[Jelly Blobs of Doom]] is also available, and cannot be reached from the standard Games page, even by searching for it.

==Yooyuball==
Jelly World's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team is almost unknown, due to the fact hardly any information is presented about them. It is known they were the practice team users faced off against between Altador Cup matches, and the ''Goalkeeper'' is a Jelly [[Kougra]] and one of the forwards a Jelly [[Kau]].

==Plot summary==
''Main Article: [[Missing Petpets]]''

Millions of [[Petpet]]s attached to a [[Neopet]]s ran away on the 12th June 2003. Despite some suspicions relating them being the cause of a war after the sighting of a mysterious [[Grundo]] carrying a wriggling sack to the [[Virtupets Space Station]], they were, in fact, gorging themselves on the '''Green Jelly''' in Jelly World and shortly returned on the 24th June 2003.

The '''Gourmet Club''' keeps track of exotic [[food]] your pet has eaten. Each different food your pet eats that is from rarity 90 to 100 scores them a point in Gourmet Club. The top three [[Neopet]]s get a gold Gourmet Club card on their user page. Fourth to eighth get a silver card on their user page, ninth to seventeenth get a bronze card on their user page, and the eighteenth to the two-hundredth pets get an honorary member card on their page.

Sponsor food on Neopets is also Gourmet Food, not necessarily because it's rare, but because it helps with the advertising.

[[Image:Jubjub Plushie Shopkeeper.gif|right|frame|[[Jubjub]] playing with three different [[Neopets]] plushies]]
A '''Plushie''' is a soft toy (hence ''Plush''ie). In Neopets, the huge number of Plushies in the visages of various [[Neopets]], [[PetPet]]s, and [[items]] have resulted in them being a popularly collected set of items.

Additionally, some Neopets can also be [[Paint Brush|painted]] a Plushie [[colour]].
