1st December News - Advent Calendar Begins!
Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:43 am
The month of Celebrating is a very special time for Neopians, because today is the start of the Neopian Advent Calendar! If you're new to the Advent Calendar, we've created a handy little FAQ to answer your questions!
Five more Poems have been added for your reading enjoyment!
Why not give your Drugal an early present with one of these new looks from the Petpet Puddle?
There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was Brightvale Screensaver Thumbnail. 248 people guessed correctly, earning them 8,065 NP each.
All Lenny owners will enjoy these new Fun Images!
Learn How to Draw the Gallion like a pro.
paraffina's Neohome, located at 187362 Rainbow Lane, Neopia Central, has been deemed worth of the Neohome Spotlight.
Satisfy your sweet tooth with one of these yummy new chocolates from the Chocolate Factory.
The latest Petpet Spotlight goes to selenestar's Cougi called copper. treetops must be very proud.
This Kyrii seems a bit dismayed by the events in our latest Caption Contest...
EDIT: TNT added this later:
Games Master Challenge! - Our fun-filled times with Aaa have come to an end. *sadface* He's off sulking (guess we showed him!) but we hope everyone earned themselves some nifty prizes and had a good time while they were at it. We doubt we've seen the last of Aaa, but for now, lets just celebrate our victory!

I guess they updated early.
Then again, it is December 1st in some parts of the worlds.

Hate to spoil Da bouncer's fun, but I bought both a Drugal AND a Darigan PPPB before the colors were announced in the news. 
Not that it matters, though - the Darigan Drugal's not showing up as an option at the petpet puddle, so I'm guessing none of these are properly released yet. And it'll most likely be a while before that happens. 
'Tis a shame though, because the Faerie Drugal looks pretty nice, too.
...oh well. Yay Advent Calendar!

Oh yeah! Forgot! Advert calender!!! 
I don't understand how I can forget such a tremendous occasion. Blame my short-term memory?
I'm sure that, in a few hours' time, neoboards will be filled with silly "Advert Calender Waiting Rooms". o_0 And my friend and I will set up our own private waiting room on MSN.

Okay, seriously. This whole updating the news the day before really doesn't make much sense to me anymore (I'm not sure if it even made sense when it was first instated).

The goal was to update the news on time and to give people in different times zones a chance at time dependant contests or games. However, since those events don't update until midnight of whatever day they're scheduled, it truly is entirely pointless.

I am sure it is to let people know what is coming up - not what has happened.
Having the news 1 day in advance gives you fair warning of pet training days and other time dependant items.
Remember once they get to the weekend, TNT doesn't update, so on Friday, the weekend news is released.
