Rawr!
I personally love the artwork for this comic, the style and the colouring really appeal to me. I spent ages just staring at it 0_o
*settles in*
This one has been rumoured to be MUCH bigger than altador (obviously as it was a mini-plot) but do we think it'll be similar in scale to the LDP?
Yey! I hope I get to flex my battling muscles!
I'm hoping for more of the work together to get something done type of thing - but unless we need a path made through the woods I don't see that happening. Looking great so far though - shame I have just started Uni and go on placement for 3 days a week in a month or so . . . glad I've got internet in my room though.

I'm just looking forward to the plot being in Haunted Woods. The gaze, brought about a new world. And poor little haunted woods, was just sitting there.

I'm far more tired of seeing them crop up constantly. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they're probably the most popular pets and are included to appeal to wider audiences, blah blah blah, but come on. There's plenty of other species in Neopia to use. We all loved (to make fun of) the Foreman, so how about another Yurble? A Cybunny? An Eyrie? A Lenny? An Elephante? Or better yet, take smudge's suggestion and have a reptilian or amphibian hero at least once. Wouldn't mind seeing a Hissi or Nimmo take the lead, personally.
Hear, hear!!

I have no idea why but the plot instantly reminded me of Stephen King's "Needful Things". So, if there is a war, I hope there will be old ladies battling to the death in the streets. I also think I'm the only one who found that book extremely funny in a way but then again my brain is warped. How would it be possible for everyone who drinks the potion to get their wish when at some point the wishes of one are going to conflict with the wishes of others as more people take the potion? Hmmm...yep, old ladies battling to the death in the streets. At least now I can go re-read the book while waiting for the plot to thicken. I'm off all this week recovering from sinus surgery but I don't suppose they will finish it up by the end of the week...
These incessant plots distract me from making np and it will be another 10 years before I get the adam avatar at this rate! Darn you, TNT!

Dude, YES! *cackles* It's so Needful Things. XD And that book was hilarious. Oh now I want to read it again too.

I thought that too. I was reading the comic and what the heck? His father is a Skeith? How does that happen? 0_o
But I'm very excited about this plot, simply because it's in the haunted woods, at Halloween time. Couldn't be better for someone like me. ^__^ Bring on the old ladies battling to death in the streets!!

I thought it was little odd.And then I sat there for a few minutes, tryin to figure out, how exactly a Skeith has a gelert son

Yush, I totally agree. I have been saving for that adam avatar for about 2 years now and I am not even close! These plots distract me from my goal. I hear ya man!

uh-oh, better hide the butcher knives
That book rocks.
Yeah, and I was really confused about the kids skeith fathering a gelert. They could at least say he was adopted.
Then I tried to imagine what a Gelert would look like if he was half Skeith. That's not pretty. XD

I have this problem every time! It's like they're using a standard screen resolution, but not accounting for the fact that our browser windows take up part of the top of our screen. And it's even worse for those of us that have their stupid toolbar! THEIR toolbar! That THEY want us to install! bah!
Seriously, I LOVE reading these comics, but the speech bubbles are... not so good.

Well, I think that's really the point. Since you know, reproductive... "stuff"... is not allowed on Neopets, neoparents must just will their children into existence. since you know they're not actually reproducing.

It's not the first time they did this. if I remember correctly NQ2 is full of those weird unexplainable childeren (except for Rohan himself)

Maybe this has already been asked, but I'm unsure of how a war plot works. I've only been around for the Altador Plot (I agree...lame prizes, btw) and Cyodrakes Gaze (which I didn't get a trophy for 
), so I don't really know how it all works

I am the same way. My first plot involved the scrolls....(shudder)....
Never done a war plot.

Wow, my first impression of this plot was that it was very well written. The story was easy to follow, and the characters are believeable. The art is also very well done. I like Bruno. 
On the downside... NOT USULS AGAIN. ;__;
I suppose I need to start getting ready for the war before inflation kills everybody. O__O

I suppose neopian parents-to-be just visit the Create-a-Pet Center like the rest of us. Neopets never makes sense. After all, if pets can take care of themselves and run their own businesses and so on, as the stories and plots suggest they can, isn't it a bit like slavery to keep them as the pets of humans? xD Logic has no place here.

Neopia does have an adoption agency, duh. lol
