Festival of Neggs 2023

[Siniri]

Solar, spaceship, Neopia...

Going for another stamp. But got a FOURTH bath bomb. Sheesh.

[Pickles]

Day 11:
Plasma, Neopia, Spaceship
Neopia (maybe a second stamp?): Globe of Neopia Snowglobe (hah, apparently not)

Today's took me way longer than it should've.

Bummer, Blue!

[Blue]

Day 11: Spaceship Negg, Plasma Negg, Solar Flare Negg

Plasma...

Glowing Baby Space Fungus

Bummer, indeed. Ah well, I did get the stamp on day one

[Siniri]

Polar, space, Neopia

Going for Neopia again because I already have all the polar ones and am not that interested in space.

And I got a FIFTH bath bomb. This is getting ridiculous. There's a less than 1.8% chance I'd get that unlucky.

[Pickles]

Day 12:
Polar Lights, Neopia, Spaceship
Polar Lights (not the candle?): Polar Lights Foreground (Yay!!)

Today's clue could VERY easily apply to two different (and very similar) locations again.

The new developments in the story are...interesting. I will reserve judgement for now.

HOWEVER. "Site." OMW. Grammar!
Also, I think it's Mayor not Major in regards to Tippens...

[Blue]

Day 12: Neopia Negg, Spaceship Negg, Solar Flare Negg

Neopia...

Stamp of Neopia


Perhaps Kari speaks in partial Spanish? Major would sound like "Mayor"... Sin embargo, creo que esto no es lo que sucedió aquí.

But, Mira's "not leaving my site" comment feels very much that it should be "sight." However, it is technically correct that Mira could mean the space station [site] itself.

[Siniri]

Neopia, plasma, polar...

Hmm, should I go for another stamp or the plasma wearable?

I'd like the wearable, and I have six too many bath bombs, so.... *Fingers crossed*

And got it! Added it to my active's customization, though I had to search through all items in my closet alphabetically to find it, because I couldn't find it in any obvious categories (even after checking JN to see that it affects markings and hat). *Shrugs* Also, it glitched and added back pieces from my old customization to my pet, which I had to remove. Couldn't remember if any of those replaced new ones I should have added back. Is it really that hard to code things correctly? More than half my closet glitches.

[Pickles]

Day 12:
Plasma, Neopia, Solar Flare
Solar Flare (just to have done one): Fire Backpack

Clue was actually pretty simple today.

The game doesn't seem to work in Palemoon, so I guess I'll have to switch browsers to play it. Sigh. Will update first post with more info on the game as I can. I've added in the basic rules and a few things I've gleaned from the neoboards already.

I'm still not sure how I feel about them bringing in the Tarot cards. I mean, I know they're pushing their real life merch, but....eh. I'm not thrilled about it being part of the event, even if it's just Tyranu Evavu dumbed down.

ETA: It works in Chrome.

It's "necessary" to try at least three times, before you get a message saying you've "helped" (I lost POOORLY all three times), BUT you can play more. If you get a score of 10 or more, it shows up in your high scores list:
Negg Diviner -- 15 Points -- Novice (advance at 22)

Obviously I have made it up to 15 now with a lucky run. I don't believe a 22 is possible, so Novice is it.

[Siniri]

Pickles, I agree with everything you said (except I don't use Palemoon). I'm not a huge fan of them making us play with cards they identified as Tarot. And I weirdly even got a 15 as my high score after my first three plays.

Polar, plasma, solar... I could try for another book, but maybe I should try solar for the first time.

Pyrophone. Hmm. Doesn't fit my gallery. If only I had a friend who collected Neopian instruments...

[Pickles]

I told my kiddos to just focus on the numbers and ignore the cards. I do NOT want to have to explain Tarot cards to them.

I'm not actually sure there are 22 cards in the deck? I have yet to run across a card labeled as 21. I've managed to get up to 16 now, but I've not been trying continuously or anything. Like, 10 games at a time, then go do something else for a while.. Apparently the max high score is 19. I might continue to try for the "perfect" score off and on all day.


ETA: I just made a liar of myself....finally saw the "21" card. So maybe a 20 is possible? People have been saying 19 is the max, but I don't think I saw the 21 until just now and I'm wondering if it got excluded somehow and they just fixed it?

[Siniri]

There's a card 0, so there are 22. I saw 21 in one of my first games.

[Pickles]

Others on the neoboards report not having seen that 21 card earlier, and that 19 was the max score (they were told they won), so I think the 21 card was recently added (especially since I'm seeing it ALL OVER the place now). Who knows?

I'm kinda ignoring the game at this point, now, if only to not make my blood pressure go up. Other things to be spending my time on.


ETA: From the boards:

quotes from tnt_dingo: ʺAnd no, no one is required to win the game, the only requirement is what's in the rules "play 3 rounds or guess 12 in a row correctly" just to progress the plotʺ
ʺTo be perfectly transparent, we did think about having a prize/np system for playing the game (including an avatar) but we didn't think it would be fair since the game will not be indefinitely availableʺ

[Blue]

Today: Polar Lights Negg, Plasma Negg, Solar Flare Negg


Meh. Polar: Beautiful Lights Candle (the third)

Ok. here goes playing the game 3x. Let us see how my patience holds....... Alright. So it's just higher/lower (Card Sharks, anyone?)

It plays fast, so played a short while. My best was 6 in a row.

There is definitely a 21 card, and it has Mira on it. 20 is Judge Hog.

[Siniri]

I'm not sure what to say. I posted just after I played, and I definitely had 20s and 21s. I haven't played since then.

[Blue]

Best is now 11 in a row.

For grins, I took a screenclip of the 20 & 21 cards:
