==Neocash activity== | |||
During this event, users could join '''[[Lulu]]'s Masterful Plundering''', where Lulu raided her cousins' bedrooms for exclusive [[Neocash]] wearable prizes. | |||
Each day, Lulu and the player could find two prizes, one in Aristotle's room and one in Abigail's. In order to raid one of the bedrooms, players had to purchase the key to the room from the [[NC Mall]] for 700 NC. There were two keys to buy - one for each of the rooms - and buying one of the keys allowed the player to earn all the wearables from that room for the entire event. | |||
Activating the keys awarded the player a bonus background wearable. | |||

Latest revision as of 21:47, 7 December 2014
The seventh annual Games Master Challenge began on November 19, 2012 and concluded on November 26, 2012. Each day users were given several Games Room related challenges by Aristotle A. Avinroo to complete.
As in Games Master Challenge 2011, this year's challenged featured a competition between two teams players could join. This year, they were pirates versus ninjas. Players could either join Team Pirate, led by Captain Three Legs, or Team Ninja, led by the Techo Master. At the end of the event, the team which had completed the most challenges won.
The challenges issued to each user changed depending on which team they joined. The challenges for Team Pirate focused more on action and adventure games, while the challenges for Team Ninja focused more on puzzle and strategy games. In the NC Mall, Lulu returned to raid bedrooms for Neocash wearables - this time, the rooms of Captain Three Legs and the Techo Master.
Teams[edit]
In order to participate, users first had to join a team. As a reward for joining a team, users were given an exclusive sign up bonus including 100 NC and a wearable based on the corresponding team that they chose.

Qualifying games[edit]
Only games from the following list could be played as part of the challenges:
Neocash activity[edit]
During this event, users could join Lulu's Masterful Plundering, where Lulu raided her cousins' bedrooms for exclusive Neocash wearable prizes.
Each day, Lulu and the player could find two prizes, one in Aristotle's room and one in Abigail's. In order to raid one of the bedrooms, players had to purchase the key to the room from the NC Mall for 700 NC. There were two keys to buy - one for each of the rooms - and buying one of the keys allowed the player to earn all the wearables from that room for the entire event.
Activating the keys awarded the player a bonus background wearable.

Behind the scenes[edit]
The theme for this challenge plays on both the internet meme of pirates versus ninjas as well as there being two rivalling training schools on Mystery Island and Krawk Island - the Mystery Island Training School and the Swashbuckling Academy.
The titles of the challenges also referenced other works:
- It Takes a Thief... is part of a proverb about catching thieves. It is also the name of of two TV series, one beginning in 1968 and one beginning in 2005.
- Now You See Them, Now You Don't... refers to the title of a 1972 film, Now You See Him.
- In Space, No One Can Hear You Play... is a play on the tagline for the 1979 film Alien, "In space, no one can hear you scream."
- Four Scores and 56 To Go... is is a play on the phrase "four score and seven years ago", from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
The Neopets Team reported that complaints about the trophies they received this year led them to make one set of trophies silver and the other set gold in the following year's challenge.
Bug[edit]
Day seven's challenges originally all required a score of 5 to complete, rather than the scores they actually asked for.
