Festival of Neggs 2012

Does anyone know the deadline for picking prizes for the sets-of-4-neggs? I'm still deciding, but I don't want to have the page go poof without me getting anything.

Does anyone know the deadline for picking prizes for the sets-of-4-neggs? I'm still deciding, but I don't want to have the page go poof without me getting anything.

Unsure of that, it doesn't say anything in the faqs about the prizes, but as the event finishes at midnight NST, I would really be choosing before it closes just to be on the safe side.

What I find most fascinating about the Neggbreaker is the glitch in Battledome scores it caused. It went over so well TNT set up a poll, the results of which I'm quoting from May 9...

Neggbreaker Poll Results - It looks like "fix player scores" won the day with the overwhelming majority vote so we'll be implementing that fix soon. We've also continued to look at Neopet scores just in case we find something that works. We don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but have two promising options we're looking at. We'll keep you updated. (And thanks to everyone who wrote in with suggestions!)

This glitch and the fixes that need to be put into play is in line with my belief that a lot of the Battledome coding is out of date (let alone the way it's carried out in general). An overhaul of the system has been needed for awhile, and it's a shame it had to be made apparent in this climatic battle at the end of the Negg Festival.
