[DraikNest]

Wonder how to get the av

-edit- Omg! I love the Tiki Tack Usuki! I gotta get that! oh and the av just for show:

[Fool Hi]

If you stop by Usukiland today you may be lucky enough to pick up one of these souveneir Usukicon Y6 Goodie Bags. Open it up and you could have a whole range of wonderful Usuki themed things inside including an Official Usukicon Y6 Guide Book, Squeaky Halloween Usuki Doll, Usukicon Keyring or something completely different.


Faeriechangeling has won this week's Neohome Spotlight award for their humble abode - 223834 Wishing Well Drive, Neopia Central.

If you stop by Limited Too stores this weekend you may spot an Orange Yurble Plushie, Faerie Ixi Plushie or Faerie Cybunny Diary!


The last Pet Spotlight of the week goes to ObeliaElvira the Usul.

Be warned, an Unofficial Usukicon Y6 Guide Book has been seen on sale in the Book Shop. This book is not in anyway approved by Usukicon Y6 and may not contain true facts!

There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was the image from Caption Contest #252.

A new version of Dice Escape has just gone live. It now features 12 new levels, different coloured backgrounds and a random chance that your level will be mirrored! (Just to make things more fun).

We leave you with an Usukicon themed Caption Contest over the weekend.


Make sure you stop by the Poetry Gallery for some Usukicon themed delights!

The highlight of this years Usukicon has been the unveiling of three special edition dolls - Kauvara Usuki, Pirate Captain Usuki and Tiki Tack Man Usuki! These should be whizzing their way toward Usukiland shortly.


Why not turn your shop into a shrine to everything Usuki with one of these new Usukicon themed Shopkeepers.

Make your Neopet the happiest pet around with one of these new Petpet Usuki Sets.


Usukicon wouldnt be complete without a new Background for your desktop.


The 154th issue of the Neopian Times has just been released. Keep an eye out for great articles like the Neopets Music Guide and One Hundred Reasons Why Sloth is Better then Hannah.

As well as the shopkeepers, there is a new Usuki con Blog to make your Usuki gallery complete!

Three new posters are on sale in the Furniture Shop each featuring one of the new special edition Usuki dolls.

This Usukicon avatar could be yours!


A new round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin, make sure you vote!

There is a whole set of Usukicon themed pictures to look at in the Art Gallery.


Psst.. Did you know that there is a rare chance when your Neopet plays with their Gnome making kits they may actually make a gnome?!!?

for the avatar, you have to set your shopkeeper to Usul - Gothic, and view your shop front

You sure about that? I tried it and it didn't work...

[Yoshi]

This says it all. *just...stares* Weirdest thing I've ever seen.
And it looks like I'll have to work on Dice Escape again. >_>

Try refreshing, it worked for me.

This weeks editorial wasn't bad...if anyone else read it

[Shifty]

This weeks editorial wasn't bad...if anyone else read it

I thought it was a bit pointless....
Maybe they can actaully answer the ones that people write to the editorial, instead of answering silly questions they take off the neoboards.

hahah i had to double look at it myself.... its creepy... not the worst plushie though

[Moogum]

Ick. Seems you can't keep the av if you change your shopkeeper. Ah well, "Emo" isn't really my thing....

Darn "Exclusive" Tiki Tack Man Usuki... I'll need that for my gallery I guess. It's gonna be expensive...

Editorial didn't help ME at all. Why do I always miss the Neoboard ones? Oh well, not like I'd post on there. Even though I've given up writing them.

No Kougra Re-Revamp. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at them for taking their time, I just wish that when they posted that little Update they didn't say "It should be released later this week". Don't give us a time, just say "It will be released soon"... that way they wouldn't disappoint us as much.

[toyfoxterrie]

Ahh, there we go

O_o Why won't they bring the general chat back? - Duckyschataccount
The removal of general chat was a hotly debated topic within the office. We are thinking of a way to give back a miscelleneous Neopets-related chat area so people who just want to chat about random things to do with Neopets (note dating and other things that are not allowed on Neopets will NEVER be allowed anywhere on Neopets ever). We will keep you updated with this on New Features.

AHHHHHreturn of the beast

o tnt read all the caption contest entries? Because I put some in there and I think they are pretty funny lol ...just wondering.. - Luda_kim
In absolute honesty we cannot read every single caption submitted, there just isnt enough time between contests. For a typical contest we read between 3-4,000 entries and post the best ones from those. That is why you should not be disheartened if your caption is not chosen the first time you submit it. Keep trying each contest and you will be chosen.

Nice to know, that they may only read ten of them

Why are the new tower items so many NPS.. - Sillyonesnape
Hidden Tower items are always really expensive. These new ones are not by any means the most expensive items on sale there.

O_o

How do you figure out the score to earn an avie.. for the game avies? Do you take an average score? or just flop out a number that makes ya happy? Im not that great at games... -- - Sillyonesnape
The score we choose really depends on how challenging we want to make getting the avatar. We mostly go from the high score list and work out the score from there. For example if we want to make an easy avatar we will make it lower than the lowest score on the high score table.

Interesting

Why did the price for the wheel of knowledge change from 100 NP to 500 NP? - Dougles_e_pugsley
The wheel doesn't have a booby prize as such and actually offers some pretty nice prizes so we had to raise the cost.

Yeah, no booby prizes, pfft, King Hagan, healing, game tips

Will we ever be able to have more than four neopets - Dougles_e_pugsley
At the moment no, but it is not something we will completely rule out for the future.

I wouldn't mind another pet

Ehh, I can't keep track of the four I have right now let alone having a fifth one. It would end of Starving just like the others lol

Frankly I'm tired of the "Off Topic: Reported" jerks and the "Who likes H. Duff? On Topic: How do you get *whatever* Avvie?" topics. Let those people talk about what they want to talk about on 1 board.

I guesse, keep all the spam in one place

[loudgrrl4_ever]

How do you get the Usuki grab bag? I thought it would be like the trick-or-treat bags, but I went to the shop and I get nothing.

Anyone get one?

[Pero]

I'm sorry but am I the only one who is reminded of Macy Gray when they see this pic?
