are we serious? They haven't even released the prizes from the previous plot and they're already starting a new one? ugh...

Maybe they're in there because they're locations? What else would they use? The art is lovely though, and I'm even more hopeful we'll finally have a ninja brush to balance out all this pirate nonsense. However, I needs my plot/cup money. I'm broke.

I think those are meant to be the "seasons" that are typically in the game, spring (beach), summer (pyramids), fall (tree), winter (mountains). It does mention the seasons in the rules.

At least they didn't redo Krawk Island in flash. YAY!

Yeah, in Mah Jong there's three sets of numbered tiles from 1 to 9 (bamboos, circles and characters), the four seasons, three dragons and four winds. I suppose the winds are the pointing arms (ugggh), and the various Cyodrakes are the dragons. I think the Pawkeet is an ace, since the "1 bamboo" is usually the picture of a bird.

Actually, I think that it is very possible for them to have come from the new side of Neopia. The storm they were caught in could have blown them west, right past Mystery Island, and left them stranded near Krawk Island.

I also think that this might be the introduction to a new world, most likely from the other side near Lutari Island. Being the newest side with plenty of empty space, it makes sense that TNT would want to develop it further. And have you noticed the shadowy island right behind Terror Mountain? It is much more detailed than the other islands, much like Lutari Island and the other known places. I think that this is probably the location of the new world.

Nothing obvious in any of the html links for the main shop page, bazaar, or deserted fair.

Hee, I had to read them b/c I couldn't figure out why there wasn't another pyramid tile

I'm thrilled about the prospect of a new plot, but I really hope this doesn't distract them from getting our plot prizes out. :oops:

Ooh how cool would it be if one of the prizes for a new plot was a new world pb? (Yes I think way ahead, haha.)

Wow, my first time checking back at neo in a looong time and they are starting a new plot n_n Not sure if anyone remembers me, but it's great to be back, at least for awhile.

It would be pretty cool if it were Oriental-themed... *dreams of Oriental Paint Brush and sidebar and avatar and petpets* I mean there's already Oriental shopkeepers and a game. And an empty island on the Explore map

I suspect it might be a "War" plot too. It's about time they gave us something to do with our high stat pets.

I agree. Does anyone else beside me absolutely LOVE the Ruki? That beird WORKS. ^_^ An Oriental Paint Brush would be awesome.

I like the idea of a new plot (there seems to be an influx of plots lately...before my Neopets hiatus, there were rarely any plots at all) but I agree with everyone else. Hey, TNT, how about wrapping up your other plot and the Altador Cup first, then throw another plot at us? C'mon, TNT, how about it?

I would love if it were a war plot, though my pet is in no condition to be fighting at all.

I would LOVE a war plot. I fought in the last one, I think. Did pretty well, so hopefully I can do well in another one.

I would enjoy a war plot. I don't battle myself, but I know alot of Neopians do. I wouldn't mind being a supporter, donations and whatnot. I am also loving how many plots there have been lately. Looking forward to the editorial in the neopian times tomorrow to see what explanations will be made.

Hmmm...

Y'know Hoban, the guy who fell overboard? Well, the last time we see him he's sort of sneaking along the back, and it looks like he's got some sort of scroll with him. Treasure map perhaps?
