Day 4: Magical Sroom Chia Pop

I didn't notice the pebble when we received it from the AC, and at first I was wondering why we needed it when we already have a petpet rock, but then I realized the pebble is for petpets, and the thought of a petpet rock having a petpet pet pebble gave me a small chuckle, so it got my vote.

And then I got a second chuckle out of my prize, remembering how kid-friendly the site swerved, and yet certain items still exist (I'm sure parents would still be bothered by the drug reference whether or not it's misspelled, though knowing TNT, the misspelling could have been entirely accidental.)

Edit: description says "A funny thing will happen to a Chia if it eats one of these"... I wonder if it actually has an effect, but it's R99 and I don't have a blobby pet.

Day 4: Darigan Draik Plushie

Do you remember the Mushroom shop? It literally sold mushrooms that changed pet stats....So sad they took it away. Some of those were great for training, but...I can totally understand why they would need to uhm, remove it.

The magical chia pops, if fed to a chia, change them into that color chia. Otherwise, they're just gourmet foods.

Day 4: Gold Koi Crackers

Pebble for me, too.

Best Festival of Neggs Prize - have we even ever had this category before? Also, why are none of the prizes negg-related? Oh, yeah. Last year was a bad year for negg-related prizes. That's right...

Day 5: Illusen Wings

Well, those'll be helpful for customizing next month! (Now that I FINALLY finished doing my Vday customizations last night! Well, almost. I need to get that Giant Huggable Warf Fairground Prize. My invisible pet needs it!)

[Blue]

No idea if we had this one before...

Day 5: Sceptic Board Background (sic.)

Guessing the popular item:: 1 / 2

[Siniri]

The art was really nice on 3 of the 4 nominees today. It was a very tough call between the stamp and the plasma effect, but I really like subtle layers in customization, so I'm going with the plasma.
Prize: Fyora Gnome

Edit: day 6: Elderly Gathow
Meh. I hope there were better prizes than those!

Results:
2/3 first
1/3 second (through best NP wearable)

It's funny that my prize today (day 5) was the winner on the day I voted for second place. (For what it's worth, that was last place for me.)

Day 6: Rubber Fruit

Would love a fun prize. Still bummed there are no album items this year. That was fun last year.

Day 6: Six Nights at Sloths Background

I had little to no preference on today's items, so I chose the item with the most Blue

Agreed with Most Popular: 2/3
First Runner up Most Popular: 1/3
The rest: 0/3

Day 7: Mynci Banana Body Scrub


Awww. Makes me miss Gráinne.

Results:
3/4 first
1/4 second (through best advent prize)

Apparently I've got basic taste this year. Or more like, I'm voting for Neopets deep lore/nostalgia, and so is everyone else.

Same here, Siniri

The rest: 0/3

Day 8: Valentine Armour Sword

Y'all can probably guess what I went with today...

And at least something useful as my item today...

Day 8: Coltzan Candy
Day 9: Six Nights at Sloths Background

Results:
5/6 first
1/6 second (through AC prize)

It was a toss up between the first and second place winners for me for the FoN prize, so I guess my taste really is mainstream this year. For the AC prize, I voted for the stamp because of nostalgia for the Techo fanatic.

Day 9: Mynci Banana Body Scrub

And yesterday's item ended up being a bust. Couldn't put it on with the current shield my battle pet has, as they're both left-handed items. Sigh.

Day 9: Neopian Sign Language

There's left hand and right hand weapons (and pets)?
