'''Initial speech'''

The harried Quiggle blinks at you, then frowns. "''What? You want to PLAY in the ALTADOR CUP?! Pest control technicians can't play. You have to be an athlete.''"
She drops her clipboard, dives for it at the same time as you, and manages to whack you in the skull. "''What are you doing? It's a clipboard, not a Yooyu! Hmph. Look, since you're certain that you're here to play Yooyuball, you have two options.''"

Article Started

I started the article, just to let you know that it may be needing some re-word issues and I will also help for when the Cup eventually starts on the 12th. --ForbiddenRoze 15:04, 7 Jun 2008 (GMT)


Speculation

I like facts. I know that the Cup will be up in a few days so the issues will become moot but I feel that, as a encyclopedia, we shouldn't necessarily be recording the up-to-the-minute happenings that the Neopets News sites would, including the speculation, which is why I attempted to remove most of it in my rewrite of this article or to at least mark it more clearly as blatant speculation. --Cath 09:05, 9 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Quiz questions

I remember we used to put the quiz questions somewhere, but don't ask me where, so I will just leave them here. Oh, and I bet Macbeth loved question 10.--Demon 14:58, 13 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Initial speech

Good, you're here. When can you get started on the Symol infestation?

The harried Quiggle blinks at you, then frowns. "What? You want to PLAY in the ALTADOR CUP?! Pest control technicians can't play. You have to be an athlete."

She drops her clipboard, dives for it at the same time as you, and manages to whack you in the skull. "What are you doing? It's a clipboard, not a Yooyu! Hmph. Look, since you're certain that you're here to play Yooyuball, you have two options."

"If you know what team you want to sign up for, head over to the Sign-up Station. If you're as confused as you look, I'll fire some questions your way to determine what team is best for you. What'll it be?"

Respond

Hmph... Could be worse... then again...

The Quiggle examines her paperwork, then finally sighs and shakes her head.

"I'm sorry, but you don't qualify for the Defenders of Neopia. You simply don't have the necessary superhero characteristics - wait, sorry, wrong test." She shuffles through more papers. "Ah, that's better."

"This is the team that you should sign up for, according to our Altador Cup Quiz of Persuasion." She hands you a slip of paper, which reads:

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Altador Cup.
