Halloween Sidebar

Fri Oct 27, 2006 9:35 am

Could someone give me the lay down on how to get it?
I know you have to refresh on midnight of halloween.
Is that on the night entering or leaving halloween?
Also don't you have to refresh in the haunted woods or something?

Refresh anywhere on the site at 11:59PM on October 31 :)

I'm actually going to wake up this year, I forgot to set my clock last year. :P

For me it involves logging on, refreshing, logging off and dashing off to school (hopefully knowing that I added a sidebar :roflol: )

For me it's being awake at 5:00pm the next day :p

Is it an easy RE to get? Or does it take a while?

The sidebar RE is active between 11:59:01 to 11:59:59 for one whole minute.
Make sure you are there and are going by Neopia's clock or you may miss it.
It can be obtained on ANY page. It looks like this.

Thanks everyone. I hope I get it :)
Gonna try and get it for my gf as well.

so is it random, or will you definitely get it if you are refreshing at that time?

Sun Oct 29, 2006 4:00 pm

definitely.
At least that's what happened the last two years.

It will have to involve someone doing it for me whilst I'm on the school bus - maybe I can trick my mum into refreshing the page somehow :P

It involves me setting my clock for 2:59 am -- I just don't think it's worth it (why I've never played deadly dice, either). Doesn't TNT ever consider time zones? *grumbles*

I'll second that grumble! I just wish some of the night events were a little earlier; after all, 03:00 A.M. is just too late / early for me (especially on a week night!).

Dang. I'll be at work at midnight NST on Halloween. Curse my schedule that has me working Tuesdays! :x

Grrrr. Gosh, I have to wake up at 1:59 am on a weekday and the day of my science test that makes up like 1/3 of my grade! No way, no stupid sidebar is worth screwing up my perfect 4.0 I wish you could set a timezone so certain activities are easier for us Americans.

To be very honest, I doubt waking up midway through the night would be the only factor that would screw up your GPA if you're that worried about it in the first place.... But yeah, huge-value prelims suck. :(

If you have a close friend or family member you really trust, maybe ask them to do it for you? (Change your password, share that password for the overnight, then change it back.) Risky, but it should be okay if they're really a friend.
