Funnily, that is the impression I;m getting from them. I dunno, but yesterday's problem seemed too un-pranky and more glitch-y. Maybe by the time they could do anything about it it was already quite late, hmm.

Anyway, at least we got something to make up for all the head-bashing!


Yeah I'm not convinced it was a deliberate prank either. Prank or cover-up, at least we have our advent items. (minus those people who didn't get the bori plushie) I was one of the lucky ones who got both items that day.

on a semi-related note:

Agreed :) If it was deliberate, I would have thought it would be a tad more obvious.

Regardless, I'm happy now. If they could just fix the 'replace' glitch so some of us users could get our items... ;)

Aha, I knew it was a joke/prank/whatever TNT calls them at two in the morning NST...

I really, really loved how they put "GOTCHA!!!" :roflol:

Hmm... wish there wasn't a "Plushie" at the end of the name....

I have to admit, they got me pretty good on that. For about an 1/8th note, my heart jumped on seeing that .. grr.. plushie :)

Now they need to make an "imitation rod of hypernova"

EDIT: At I got a new avatar out of the deal :D

EDIT: And I keep meaning to post...but just now remembered...to actually post this...that giggling.....just keeps getting creepier and creepier :(

It seemed more glitchy than pranky, but it was a great save- fitting the idea of a prank in on the next day's animation.

I felt sorry for the koi, also. It innocently was happy but then ended up falling.

I love what they put at the end of peas description..and I


This was given out by the Advent Calendar in Y8 after a mean prank by TNT.


:D :D :D

*cowers in the corner* I call "not it!"


LoL, that's what I was thinking when I came on this morning

I'm getting the impression of a prank gone wrong turned cover up as well. I was kinda maybe hoping I'd get the bori plushie as well today, but no. I dunno, if it IS supposed to be a prank, it came across glitchy because of the way it was done, and since it came right after the "Replace" glitch.

I do like the evilness of the prank AND I think it serves NPT right to be buried under bug reports because of it. :P



Adampate06 - Just as an fyi, the powers that be, here on PPT, ask that you not double post. If you have something to add and no one has posted after you, you should use the edit button to modify your existing post. :)

Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:05 pm

Well at least we got a replacement!

Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:12 pm

...So where're our Plushie Boris, TNT? o_O

(No, I am not amused; frankly, I agree with Candycaneofdoom and draconis.)

Thu Dec 21, 2006 6:17 pm

Heh, no, I still don't think they meant to do that. But we got our NP and prizes for both days, so it's all good.

That Seasonal Attack Pea Plushie is tres cute. :D
