A funny thing happened on the Help Chat today - which is normally, like the rest of the Neoboards, a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
It began here:
Ha ha, very funny, the old switcheroo there.
Several people chime in with similar remarks - they eagerly await Ruki day next July, they should start a petition to bring them back to normal status, and so on.
Enter Rosacea- Rosaceara-... Enter Rosencrantz. Valiant do-gooder arrives to correct their misapprehension.
Trouble is, they don't seem to be listening.
O great Rosencrantz! Crusader! She's read Jellyneo (we will learn), and knows all about duped items. She won't let anyone fall for that! You can feel her cursor hover over a big red report button.
Still, they carry on talking - so she explains to them what they've got wrong.
Rosencrantz is clearly not sure her message is getting through - "How can I reach these kids?" she asks herself. "I know!"
That's enough - Removalist (or Hamlet?) decides to defuse the situation.
Rosencrantz cannot be fooled!

But who's this coming to Rosencrantz' aid? Why, it's Guilderstern!
Yes, I hope the day is very distant indeed in which anyone can be accused of having fun on Neopets.
This goes on for a few more pages before Rosencrantz grows weary of caring Claudius' letter and rewrites it herself. "Go bother Guilderstern," she says.

Shocker.
Also, this epilogue, which I found inordinately funny:
