Ok Usul Day isn't officially until Saturday, but we thought we would start things a little early.

Why not start off Usul Day in style with this regal new look?

This week's Neohome Spotlight award has been given to orcalord, proud owner of 291549 Neopia Avenue, Neopia Central.

There are four new Books with an Usul theme for you to collect - Skiing Tips, Winter Usul Wear, An Usul Autumn and Usul Stories for Rainy Days.

Captain Threelegs has kindly offered to give Usuls FREE training all day today and tomorrow.

Congratulations Meloudia the Aisha. You have just won this week's Pet Spotlight award.

There is a new Desktop Background for you to choose from based on the Alpine Challenger TCG card.

Kauvara has a wide range of Usul Morphing Potions on sale in her magic shop including Blue, Green Yellow, Snow and Plushie.

A new round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin.

This weekend's Caption Contest also featured the Alpine Challenger, what a busy Usul!

There are three new Usul Shopkeepers for you to choose from.

Plushie collectors will be eager to get to the Toy Shop. There are lots of new Usul plushies on sale!

The Art Gallery has pages and pages of Usul themed pictures on display.

A really really bad Usul day.

Thats disgraceful. They didn't even mention anything about the posion snowflakes, cheaters or anything! What are they playing at?

Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:07 am

Yeah, no avatar, nothing on the back buttoning or awful war, just nothing.

Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:07 am

I think they just made it autopost it at 1:45 am NST.

Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:21 am

Nothing about the war....

And my picture didn't make it in the art gallery... What else is new :roll:

EDIT- I got to admit the plushies are pretty neat.

That would make sense I guess. Wow, I can't wait till they see what they've done (Whoa, a Jet song just played itself in my head just then

). They'd probably expect featheralley and the such to have 1000 points at least (she only has 9). Then they'd go and look at other accounts, and see hundreds of 3 day old accounts with over 30k points.

This should be interesting :evil:

that update is really BAD, no avatar, war update, plot update, notices or any of that boring junk they throw in!

Pretty bad news, but the plushies and morphing potions look pretty cool

Sat Nov 27, 2004 1:59 pm

NO! NO GOOD NEWS!
I need an avatar.

Maybe she thinks it is not worth battling the first wave because:

1: The Backspacing thing which allows them to fight even if thier pet is sick. This is BTW the first reason why very young accounts are getting lots of points from the first wave despite not having very powerful weapons.

2: She doesn't think it worth battling just to heal her pet over and over again from Hoochie Coochies.

3: The enemy doesn't gain HitPoints glitch. This is BTW the second reason why very young accounts are getting lots of points from the first wave despite not having very powerful weapons.

I've been waiting and waiting for Usul day to finally come out, and when it does I get nothing!! A really ugly new Usul color, (I'm not an artist, but the Royal Usul I took a whole 45 minutes to draw last week looks better than that) a few Usul items, and SQUAT! I think they've overlooked my favorite pet for far too long...... *sniff*

Well, there is news on a weekend. I agree, that was probably written and ready to go and put up on some sort of autotimer (whatever).

There's almost never news on the weekend, even if it is small and there's no avatar. I guess they figure people would be too busy with the war business?

As far as the backspacing, thousands of points thing, I think we'll have to wait until sometime Monday at the least. There are definitely some bugs in the battledome that need fixing (the error that your pet has zero hp, people not being able to leave the dome after a battle, etc.). So, I think we all need to be a little more patient with TNT addressing all of that. I just hope they DO address it - at least say something like for the first wave backspacing in the battledome is not allowed.

here avi avi avi and I for one agree this news blows Usuli ski snow stuffs especially since this war isnbt fair hey if they can backspace we should two but then we are the honourable players who dont wanna get iced and I know many who were doing it as in oprev wars stopped as soon as they realized yer getinting a sickness and neomailed in saying they didnt know and please sont freeze and stuff

Ah well, at least he gets free training.

And that is adorable.
