You're told when you finish the Altador plot you're told that you'll be rewarded for your efforts.

Unusual and unexpected, no. Annoying and maddening? YES!!!

Of course, I'm simply excited because Altador was the first plot that I finished all the way through *proud*

I really don't mind them distracting us with another plot though (if that's what it is). Although I certainly hope that it becomes more interactive in the near future!

Maybe we're gona have a bunch of mini-plots tied together in the general sence of filling the new explore map then releacing all the prizes at once?

My first post ever, btw :D

My thought is that if they do combine prizes for the two plots they will probably have more prizes. So if some did only Altador, and some did only Cyodrake's Gaze then they'd only get a portion of the prizes.

By the way, I finished the Altador plot this week with the help of a guide, and I can totally see why somebody would be annoyed that those who didn't have to struggle would still get the same prizes. Maybe they will award more points to those who finished the plot earlier.

I really hope we don't get worse prizes for finishing late.
See, my account got hacked, so I made a new one and did the plot a couple days ago.
Such a depressing thought...

I think that's a lot of people - including myself - are irritated at the prizes being late. xD This is the first plot that I stuck with for more than a week, let alone finished. I deserve rewards, TNT!

No offense meant, but are you saying that your acc. was hacked for over 2 months and then just two days ago you decided to make a new acc?

I hadden't joined earlier, but I used this guide and got done the same time as all of you people, and I'm getting very annoyed as well. This is the first plot I've ever done and I want results!

No, I finished the plot a while ago but I couldn't get into my account just recently.

This isn't uncommon. Sometimes when people are hacked (especially if it was a well off account) they get disenheartened and give up on NP for a while. I know I did when my first account got hacked, I was so upset I left for the better part of a year.

I just hope we don't wait forever and do a few more mini plots and the get told that our rewards are the opening of the other side of neopia and the other mini plots make other islands clickable with thins on them....that would just be mean.

The what now?
Everyone keeps talking about this cydodrake thing. I've been gone awhile. What is it exactly?

From the Neopian Times:
First and foremost, THANK YOU, TNT for all the effort you put into creating the plots. They're great! I love you guys! :D Now, if you don't mind, *please* clear something up for me. There is great debate over whether any prizes will be given for all the star hunting & mapping that was done in Altador prior to the Altador Cup. Even though King Altador promised we would be rewarded for our efforts, some say there are no plot prizes for the Altador Plot because it was a "mini-plot." They use the fact that Altador Cup prizes have already been awarded as evidence to support their theory (since the AC came after the Altador Plot). Others think the prizes are coming, and patience is a virtue. Would you please settle the debate once and for all? You WILL?!? I *knew* it! You ROCK! –navynora
We love you, too! And patience is a virtue. There's no doubt about that. :D

This particular puzzle was a mini-plot, yes, and it was made to run long so that lots and lots of people could participate. Trust us; many people are still stuck at certain points judging from the rest of the editorial questions. ;) Don't worry. King Altador will not go back on his word. You WILL be mini-rewarded for your mini-efforts on the mini-plot. (In fact, one of the prizes has already been waiting on the server... but you didn't hear that from us.)


Ok, I know it was going to be a mini-plot, but the amount of work people put into it, they shouldnt *still* call it a mini-plot. And how can a mini-plot run for a long time??

I really hope there was intended sarcasm in TNT's answer concerning 'You WILL be mini-rewarded for your mini-efforts on the mini-plot.'
:x

I agree, but it's this part that confuses me:

In fact, one of the prizes has already been waiting on the server... but you didn't hear that from us.


Why not just tell us that in the news so we don't go all crazy not knowing ANYTHING at all?
