Winter Starlight Celebration/Advent Calendar 2024

What the heck? I did NOT receive an item called Orions Prophecies. I definitely received the others and double checked my safety deposit box (where I deposited all of them immediately after receiving them). It's probably a R101 book, isn't it? I just went back to the AC and had the dialogue again, but no prize pop-up, and the same empty message only listing the amount of NP and the premium prize. Based on Pickles's post, that shouldn't be a premium-only prize, so I don't understand what happened. I definitely didn't get any REs in the single screen between the AC and safely depositing them, nor did I make a mistake depositing them, because I actually checked the names of the items with the prize pop-up in another tab, and the presumable book was definitely not in either location. Grr.

The different pictures thing is pretty cool. I'm assuming someone's already tried to piece them all together... Just miffed I somehow didn't get one of the prizes for some reason. Surely I didn't mess up clicking through the dialogue...

I apologize...I was copy/pasting fast as I had a thousand things going on today. Orions Prophecies was the trophy upgrade (to gold for me). Just checked your UL and it looks like it went through for you, too.

Ah, that makes sense! I was so confused, because I didn't know how it would just leave off an item like that. Thanks for the clarification!

I do have to say that at this point, Orion's stuff feels like that season of Friends where every single episode barely had anything happen until the last five minutes to resolve the cliffhanger from the previous episode, only to then end on another cliffhanger (I say as a writer who publishes works one chapter at a time, and always ends on a cliffhanger... :lol:

But at least stuff happens in every single chapter, not just filler!)

Day 29
Reina: The Adventures of the Christmas Frogarott
Snowie: Gelert Wand
Neggs that are not neggs/"pick up a negg": 2/3

The Rock Companion sits on your pet's head. :roflol:

We're supposed to get one more update on Orion on the 31st (last day of advent calendar). So...I guess we'll see what kind of cliffhanger that leaves us off on.

Snowie: Red Koi Keyring
Reina: Red Gift Pouch

Today's animation was cute. And the premium prize is really cute!

Day 30
Reina: Soup Faerie Stamp
Snowie: Frozen Snow Shovel
Neggs that are not neggs/"pick up a negg": 2/3

Sooooo the cards in all these are the old WOTC cards, not the new UD ones. But the starter set boxes are the new UD ones. With the old WOTC cards in them. :roflol:

Being real, though, the game is so much fun. I'm watching my older two go head to head right now.

Only one more day for the Advent Calendar. Not likely to get the SAP...and tomorrow will be some sort of dialogue/comic, most likely.
Don't forget that Snowager tends to hibernate a few days afterwards, though!

Snowie: Small Neggnog Smoothie (it's been a while since I've gotten a fake negg)
Reina: Feel Better Soup (a 50% healer/100% air blocker from the Advent Calendar two years ago)

I'll take your word for it, Pickles. (I have no idea what any of those acronyms means.)

I honestly can't wait for Snowie to wake up. I usually catch him at least once a day, often twice (rarely thrice), though the guaranteed daily prize is really nice. I feel like the AC lasts just long enough that my internal clock forgets when Snowie should be awake, and I spend most of January resetting it.

(How it works: Oh, it's 9:06am. Snowie's awake. Let me pull out my phone, type "sn" in my browser, tap the screen a couple of times, and put the phone away again.)

Day 31
Reina: A Slice of Ancient Omelette (Ewww. What a way to end.)
Snowie: Lightning Wand
Neggs that are not neggs/"pick up a negg": 2/3

Very cute image with Snowie today.

However, I've had the site theme for years. I wonder why it showed up again? Sigh.

They seriously left Orion unconscious and that's all we get for now? Sigh. Maybe they'll bring him back in at the Neopies?

WOTC = Wizards of the Coast, Upper Deck
Basically, they used the wrong kinds of cards for the box they had them matched with.

Snowie: Red Acara Plushie
Reina: Purple Shoyru Cracker (I got a cracker in the early days, too, so this is a nice callback)

I was wondering about the theme. I assume I already had it, too.

The last AC image was pretty. Agree with Pickles about the plot update (I accidentally got a bit spoiled coming here to record my prizes, trying not to read Pickles 's post, but of course my eyes somehow read those five most important words). I have to say, even after reading it, I was still surprised by the dialogue. What was the point?

Snowie is still hibernating.

Snowie: Broken Heart Keyring

I went at 9:55am, so I wasn't 100% sure whether that was the usual hibernation. I figured I could try again at 5pm.
