Thanks, Daze! I voted for the steampunk.

[Pickles]

Thanks for starting this thread, Daze!

I voted for the Oil Paint Peophin. Picked up a Gingerbread Usuki Playhouse for voting.

[Blue]

Thanks Daze! I would have completely missed this.

I went with the Oil Paint Peophin as well. Picked up a Baby Elephante Milk Bottle

[Pickles]

I guess the first day was a 1 1/2-day vote period? Didn't see anything new today.

Discovered this in the FAQ, though, in case anyone hadn't seen it:

8. Do I have to vote for all of the categories that are up on a certain day?

No. However, if you want to receive the bonus prize at the end of the event -- and we know that you do -- you’ll need to cast a vote for every category on the day (or, in the case of the first category, day-and-a-half) that it’s posted.

Guessing that means there'll be some sort of every-day-day-of prize again.

[Blue]

It does indeed look like a 1-1/2 day one. I do not see anything to vote on today, either. But, is it every day going forward, or one vote per period. As of this second, the voting for the first item ends in 58:35:46, which is just under 2-1/2 days from now...

I guess we need to check in daily to find out.

ETA (2/5) - Day 2 voting available

Best Species Specific Outfit
Candy Ruki
Gnorbu Snowbeast
Mermaid Flotsam
Witch Eyrie

Went with Candy Ruki and received a Ground Beef Smores (eewww).

[Daze]

Day 1 was 1.5 days. Then the rest are released 1 per day. Voting on each is open for 3 days.

If you vote on a category the first day that it’s up, you’ll see a gold highlight around your choice.
If your vote is not cast until either the 2nd or 3rd day, then your selection will have a green highlight around it.
Bonus prize for voting on day of release.

1. Best Neopet Color: Oil Paint Peophin

1. X Steampunk - didn't record my prize, but I got *something*
2. X Flotsam Mermaid (demoing this on a pink pet wasn't doing it any favors, but if you look at the outfit alone, it's comprised of my favorite colors, is aquatic-themed, and is made for one of my favorite species, so it was really a no-brainer) - prize = scary teeth mask
3. Day 11, Raspberry Jelly Muffin
4. Giant Omelette Myths and Folktales, Gingerbread Usuki Playhouse
5. Maraqua sunken ship bg; Peophin Mug

I'm glad there's not a prize for picking the winners...

I went with Flotsam Mermaid, as well, just because I liked it a hair better than the others. Some of the outfits have been pretty awesome.

Prize: Snow Shoyru Gnome

Links for those who want to watch the animations (in the order they were presented to me; I think it might be random, but in case it's not...):

http://www.neopets.com/winter/advents_p ... 2019&day=9

http://www.neopets.com/winter/advents_p ... 019&day=21

(You might have to refresh to be able to get them to play.)

I voted for Day 11 because:
Day 9's storyboarding was a little off (they should have made it clear earlier that lack of funds was the reason they were leaving the stores, though rewatching it today, I noticed for the first time that the mother pretends to be Santa when she hands over the borovan, which is a cute touch)

Day 19's seemed to have a bit too much going on. The bit with the smaller present in his pocket was cute, and him getting mad about the mess in the living room was fine, but the mess was wrapping materials, and they should have given him his present at the same time if they'd finished wrapping it... I don't know. It just felt like too much in such a short scene.

Day 21's was cute enough, but I don't think someone living in a castle would be spooked out by normal castle noises.

Meh. TNT never seems to choose my favorites for this category, so it's always tough. I don't really care about any of these categories, honestly... I'm in it for the prizes.

[Blue]

I also chose Day 11, because Siniri chose day 11. My ancient "Neopets" browser does not support the video format and I didn't feel like firing up Firefox. LOL

Prize: Mad Meepit Mocha

[Pickles]

Also chose day 11. None of them were my favorites, though. Prize: Bucket of Neopets

[Blue]

Best Advent Gift:
Christmas Shop Window Display Background
The Giant Omelette: Myths and Folktales
Soup Faerie Stamp
High Tea in the Woods

Rare stamp? Yes, please.

However, the picture and the description for the book and the stamp were swapped for me. I voted based on the text...

Prize: Vacana

[Pickles]

Picture and text were mixed up for me, too. I also voted for the stamp, based on the text. Indigo wig for a prize.

[Siniri]

I petulantly (and pettily) voted for the book because the stamp was the only AC day I've missed in years. I always like books, and it's the one most likely to win because of the mix-up between text and words...

Prize: Gingerbread Usuki Playhouse

(0/1 so far)

Edit: Blue, do you need a peophin mug for your gallery? I just won one as my prize.
