Well, it appears that the winner of the Spooky Food Eating Contest was a cheater! We didn't say monsters were allowed to compete! Tsk tsk. What is Neovia coming to, these monsters just don't know how to follow directions. Tippens must know what to do!
...I hope that means this is going to continue on to be something cool?

ETA: idriya posted on JN he found Neovia (that has been taken down, but posted a screenshot) with a "Neovia Brightness Status: No brighter than it was yesterday...or the day before." listed right above the map...kinda like Faerieland when it was falling...

Ohhhh, that is weird! TNT are definitely up to something (good).

Maybe, maybe not. Someone else is now saying that message has always been there and only recently disappeared? I dunno. I hardly go to Neovia so I can't really say one way or the other. I guess we'll see in the next few days?

Ughh. I hope it's not too time-intensive next week. I have a temp job that probably will entail some super-long, weird hours. I'd better make sure I get up early before the job to get anything done that needs doing. Here's hoping we have several days for each step (vs. having to spend two hours every single day...).

I completely agree. Either that, or something quick each day. Coming weeks have some insane hours for me, too.

Meeeeeh you two. I need something that will keep me occupied at least most of next week's afternoons!
...I guess worst case scenario I could nap or do ridiculous amounts of cleaning to pass the time, but I'd rather be having fun on Neo with a plot. :P

Hmm. Perhaps you could take a few naps for me? I could certainly use them. :P

The Spooky Food Eating Contest has been completely abandoned now.

That looks....trashed. Like...monsters trashed it first. Or something.

In other news, Neo is lagging like crazy (like...3 minutes to load a page, if I'm lucky...). And it's buggy, too. (Says my shop has disappeared...along with all the leftover junk items from the contest that were still sitting in it...) Isn't that sign #90287098572345 of a plot? :P

ETA: Buggy on about half the site. UL's are down, same with pet lookups, shops, most games (hahaha Habi is still running, woot!), neodeck, stamps, and who knows what else. Guess I'll be watching Habi run and working on my friend's almost 3-year-old daughter's birthday present. Tally-ho.

Neo is Super laggy for me, too. It took forever just to log in.

I can not get to my shop, or anywhere. It is bad enough that I gave up for now.

It's all back and happy now! Now...just gotta wait for the news to come up to see if they'll be giving us anything fun over the weekend...

News is up, but by the looks, no update to SFEC.

I'm with Siniri in hoping that something will change at midnight. Guess we'll find out then? Or they could just hold us in suspense until Monday...

ETA: JN has found a "To Be Continued" Image !!!!!

This has to mean it's either it's a *real* plot, or at the very least SOMETHING that will be ongoing for a bit!

The TBC image tag was found in the page source code when the image updated, although when found the image was not uploaded to the servers. I thought I had posted that here, but it seems I didn't. :(


Whenever we get a something like this, I always check the page source for clues. Easy to do if anyone wants to try:

Right click on a page and look for 'View Page Source', this brings up the coding for the page. Then just look through for anything that looks weird. :)

Once I found the relevant part of the source (all the SFC images), I then looked at all the images (most image names were self-explanatory), but this one:

http://images.neopets.com/halloween/sfc ... b34014.png

was not loaded into the servers, and with tbc in the name, it seemed likely that it was a To Be Continued image.

ETA: Midnight NST and no update.

Boo. And yay? Too early on too little sleep for me to care either way right now...
