Later still, almost all the [[Auction House]] listings were replaced with dung-related items. Any attempt to bid on them brought the player to a message from [[Nigel]] the [[Chia]], saying he had outbid them on it. Meanwhile, at the [[Trading Post]], the [[Island Faerie]] had been replaced by a "helpful" [[Tyrannian]] [[Kacheek]] called Hoka. When attempting to offer on a trade, an error would appear, | |||
<blockquote>Please offer only dung, as other items will confuse Hoka. Also, he cannot count very high, so offer no more than 1,000 NP.</blockquote> | |||
Offering a dung item and less than 1,000 NP will cause Hoka to offer all the Neopoints you have on hand, all your Neopets, and all the items in your Safety Deposit Box in trade - and not necessarily on the correct lot. Clicking to cancel the trade would cause Hoka to ask the player to confirm it: "Trade wa ugga snarga good! You no want?". Both possible replies, a la [[Tyranu Evavu]], were in Tyrannian, "arvu" and "nablu". No matter which one was chosen, the user would be brought to a page informing them that the offer was accepted - "Hoka is happy." | |||
In actual fact, the offer was not 'real' and could not be seen by the other player. The player's Neopoint counter goes down to 0 on the success page, but everything is returned on the next page load. | |||
