Editorial


Hi! I'd just like to check if there have been additional technical issues regarding some NT comic submissions recently, or a recent change of submission rules or their enforcement, or just more entries than usual? I'd like to avoid cluttering your queue with minor changes to my entry if there is a more substantial issue with it, and I know of a couple other people who are unsure what to make of the repeated TMGE responses for their comic series as well. ~neo_coaster363
Hello! After each issue is published, we clear the NT submissions to ensure all entries have a fair chance of getting into the next issue. The “Too Many Good Entries” email is an automated and standard Neomail that is sent when this happens. I hope this helps! ~~ Adler

What exactly is a negg based on? is it a fruit, is it an egg? the partitioned negg looks like a pineapple, but the Cracked Negg Slippers shows that the inside is liquid, so what is it?! ~Anonymous
Quite the conundrum isn't it? Which came first, the fruit or the negg? Believe it or not, this age-old question has stumped Neopia's finest thinkers for centuries… ~~Aesop

Hello! In the last Editorial, Adler indicated that the Retro Roller Usul Helmet had been rezoned to work with wigs, but it looks like that change hasn't been made yet. Also, the Helmet's item category is "none" instead of "Clothes", so it isn't actually restocking! Can you please fix these two issues so our Usuls can wear their safety gear? Thank you! Please remove my username. ~Anonymous
Hello! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We have made the rezoning fix for this item and have made sure it’s placed in the proper category, so it should now be wearable with wigs and restocking in shops! Happy customizing! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

If there was a world that didn't exist, and that non-existent world had a non-existent food shop, and that non-existent food shop threw up a 404 error if Neopians tried to shop there, would someone at TNT fix the non-existent food shop in the non-existent world? ~velvet_paw
We tried to find this non-existent food shop in the non-existent world, but we couldn’t locate this “alleged” non-existent food shop anywhere… *shrugs* ~TNT_Fae

Hi TNT! You guys really pulled at our heartstrings with the family themed advent calendar days this year! ;~; The #1 Brother Coffee Mug and the Handmade Christmas Card are adorable... But I would love to get the Ruki's Best Parent Ever T-Shirt, Little Timmys World's Best Grandparents Plates, Vandagyre's Holiday Card, and the Lutari's Origami Dads. Can you please release them in the gift shop or something? ~aquaantoni
So happy to hear that those Advent Calendar comics were loved so much!!! We don’t know if the families would be willing to part with those gifts anytime soon, but the kids do love crafting so maybe they’d be willing to make more later! /genuine ~~Stone

My pet needed some cheering up, so I tried to have it play with the Pull Along Rock. Although it's listed as a toy, it seems there are no options to play with it. Only store it away or give it away. How say. Pull Along Rocks surely would have been a good toy to play with, don't you think? ~Anonymous
I do agree with you! This toy should be played with. So hey- give it another go! Let your Neopet pick up that string, give it a tug, and let the cheer and joy commence! In other words, this item has been fixed and your pet can now play with it! Thanks for writing in : ) ~~Miss Rainbow

Hey, TNT: I was wondering, is collaboration allowed in the Art Gallery and Poetry Contest? ~bittersweet52
Hi there! Currently, collaboration is not allowed in the Art Gallery. The Poetry Contest, on the other hand, is handled on a case by case basis. Considering factors would depend on the content and length of the submission. Happy writing! ~~ Adler

Saying jelly world may be real, would be terrifying wrong. And yet I wonder, are there any site characters who believe in jelly world? I have no idea and yet I still think that maybe the pant devil would believe in jelly world. ~Anonymous
Jelly World!?….that doesn’t sound like something we’d have in Neopia! Yep…it doesn’t exist! Theoretically…if we did have some sort of jelly world…which we absolutely do not, I think everyone in Neopia would eat it! Very curious though…what would a jelly world look like!? IF we had one I mean…* thinking pose* ~~Sunpotato

Hey! The advent calendar this year is off to a great start! I did want to point out, the Red Nose Ixi Action Figure's item description reads "Wont you guide my slay tonight? This was given out by the Advent Calendar in Y25." This spelling of "slay" rather than "sleigh" implies this ixi is leading the charge in battle! As exciting as that sounds, it probably isn't what was intended. Unless you wanted to give the ixi a little sword or something. ~stormyoutlook
Hello there! Thanks for finding this spelling error! The change has been made! Hope you’re enjoying the Advent Calendar! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

The new Pebble p3 given in this year's Advent Calendar has been an immediate sensation! We all love it! Could we please get a board emoji of the super happy Pebble? Perhaps even an avatar? Thank you! ~magic_dark_phoenix
The team is so glad everyone is enjoying the happy little Pebble, and that’s a wonderful idea since it has been quite a while since some new faces have appeared in the board emojis! Perhaps we can bother an artist to bring some new faces to the Neoboards soon. ~~TNT_Fae

I've been keeping an eye on the Meridell Rubbish Dump in an attempt to snag something worthy of being bestowed the avatar. Is it broken or are the chances of one of those items being dumped really low? Maybe I'm just really unlucky! :( ~subcoe
Hello! Previously, the Meridell Rubbish Dump was broken and had a very low chance of items eligible for the avatar appearing, but last year we fixed it and upped the probability. I hope your luck changes soon so you can show off a stinky new avatar! ~~Aesop

HAPPY THOUGHTS

Hello TNT! I returned to Neopets this year after a long hiatus and I just had to write in to say I am *SO JAZZED!* about the diversity of family types represented in the advent calendar so far this year! Thank you! ~nightnight55325

Please inform Mr. Coconut, the General Discussion neoboard collectively wishes them a very warm Happy Holiday and a fiery New Year! ~gayfully

Mr Coconut says: AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
