August 3rd news

Did any of you actually look to see if the prizes were out?

Just kidding. I checked in the HOH, and it's the same old message. I also re-read it to make sure we weren't misunderstanding KA -- but he definitely says we'll be rewarded. I'm excited to start a new plot. Do they always have a plot associated with comics? There's no neoboard set up for it yet, at any rate. But the Altador plot one is gone -- how long has that been for? Did they take it down to start the Altador Cup one?

Yeah, the plot board became the cup board once that started.

Hee, the blumaroo chef IS well-drawn. *hugs him* But I'll never understand why all the recent 'roo art has them with these huge eyes! One of the reasons they're one of my favorite pets in the first place is because the pets themselves have cute little beady eyes. The bigger ones make them look creepy. (Which could work for Von Roo, I guess, but not most of the rest of them.) But, I guess that's more personal preference than actual measure of art quality; like I said before, the rest of him is just fine.

(EDIT: Never mind. Just took another look at his "normal" art and he's only wide-eyed when the cooking pot goes boom. I stand corrected. )

The ship and all the new things associated with it are cool, especially the Kou-Jong game. I love it, don't get me wrong. But my excitement's dampened by the fact that we're all <i>still waiting</i> for the last two events to be wrapped up. If they're busy, wouldn't starting a new plot thing just exacerbate the workload?? I'm starting to think we're not going to get anything at all. (Please let me be wrong.)

I think the cook is the best looking blumaroo I've seen on the site, especially in his "Why did you asplode me?" pic. Does anyone have a list of the items sold by the new shops?

Well I checked out the food shop and there were two "Artichoke Dumplings" in there for a second. I don't RS so I didn't have a hope of nabbing one.
Not really a list, but it's a start

I hope this develops into a cool plot, I pretty much ignored the last two I really don't know why, Lost Desert is my favorite world. *kicks self*

Gush how you will over the new Blumaroo character, but my personal favorite of the gang is the wise-looking Ruki.

[Huggles]

It seems that some of the new items are up on Neoitems now. At least, I don't think all of them are since there's only 4 per shop.

Okay they BETTER not be introducing a new story without giving us the prizes from the old one. What is so hard?

[hallucinating]

But why is the game gone?

I didn't have a chance to play it and now it says the ship has left Krawk Island

I've been able to get to the kou-jong game all weekend by going through the puzzle games index in the game room. The only thing that disappeared was the ship and the links from there.

No, the link in the news as well as the one from the puzzle games page lead to this:
http://neopets.com/games/kou-jong.phtml

Which says that the ship left and the game is gone.

You can still reach the game through a direct link.
