13th January - Sloth Appreciation Day! (early)

* Sloth Appreciation Day isn't actually until tomorrow, but we thought we'd start the festivities early! An extra day to celebrate the most notorious evil villain in Neopia is always welcomed. Help us! He's here! Call the Space Faerie!

* What better way to start off the celebrations than with four new Sloth cakes? Head over to The Bakery to pick some up.

* Sippy619's home at 3012 Tiki Tack Street, Mystery Island has earned her the Neohome Spotlight award! Well done.

* A new issue of the Neopian Times has been released. Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like The Ups and Downs of Kindness and Chia Bomber II: a Real Blast!.

* This week's Pet Spotlight goes to MonsterRock. Congratulations to zblacktt for raising a fine Baby Skeith.

* Every minion should have a Robo Sloth in their Neohome. Head over to the Furniture shop if you'd like to have one for your very own.

* There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was The Golden Dubloon. 473 people guessed correctly, earning them 4,229 NP each!

* Because Dr. Sloth is so smart and dashing, he'll be taking over Neopia quite soon. Unless you can stop him, of course. Try your hand at The Return of The Return of Dr. Sloth.

* Neopets Premium is now accepting a limited number of additional beta testers! If you're interested, you can click here for more info. Spots will go fast (and may already be gone) so best be quick!

* These four new books chronicle various nefarious deeds of the illustrious Dr. Sloth. You can pick them up at the Book Shop.

* It's Friday, which means a new round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin! Send in those entries before it's too late.

* Dr. Sloth makes a fine Sketch Background with which to adorn your desktop. Especially in such a maniacal pose!

* For quick links to your dailies and favourite games, NeoMail alerts, and more, try the FREE Neopets Toolbar! Click here for more info.

* You WILL use one of these new Buddy Icons to pay homage to Dr. Sloth if you know what's good for you.

* We're pretty sure Dr. Sloth doesn't normally enjoy Poetry, but he's made an exception today.

* Try your hand at this new sponsor game - Nanny McPhee: Investi-Catch. Catch the children who misbehave and earn Neopoints in the process!

* A new Shop Blog featuring the dashing evil villain is now available, which should please all you Sloth gallery owners.

* Many works of tribute and praise to our future Neopian master can now be seen in the Art Gallery.

* It's no surprise that Sloth is planning his next Neopian domination attempt in the latest Caption Contest.

Let's say you take over a friend's account who has quit neopets. There is a shop on that account and no way to get rid of it. I don't think it to be fair to ice that account if the shop is not used. Will TNT ever give the option to delete the shop? ~ --name removed--
The account would be frozen because you are NOT allowed to access an account you did not create. Even if your best friend in the whole wide world didn't want their account anymore, their only option is to either abandon it or self freeze it. You may NOT give/trade/sell your account to anyone else. If you do, that account will be frozen.

As for the shops thing, we understand people had shops on accounts before the rule went into effect. As long as the shop is empty and you're not using it to sell items, you're fine. :)


That's nice that they said that. :)

Recently I noted that half of a jelly weighs exactly the same amount as a whole jelly. Is this a unique, physics-defying trait of Neopian jellies, or something else entirely? ~elusive_random
DO NOT QUESTION THE JELLY.

What jelly? I didn't see anyone mention any jelly. :thinking:

Jelly? Is there such a word...

I was hoping that since Sloth Appreciation Day was early, the mind control lab would be working, so I could get the Sloth avatar I didn't get last year... but sadly, nothing's there. I'm going to check tomorrow to see if it's working (I hope!) since the official day is the 14th...
*crosses fingers*

And yay! Another sponser game to get me closer to the Gamer avatar!

Other than that - GIMME MY LDP PRIZES! *cries* I bet Sloth stole them, and we'll have to fight him off in a new plot they just came up with today so that the Darkest Faerie plot could be delayed, keeping with their war record of delaying things...

Hmmm... I hope the Mind Control Quiz is activated for those that still need this avie.

You get it by answering C, D, B, C, A on the quiz. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't appear to be working at present. Maybe it will be up on the 14th (I hope).

It IS supposed to be seasonal on Sloth Appreciation Day, isn't it?

Edit: Heh... someone else posted while I was typing.
*kicks dial-up*

Yay, the Mind Control Quiz is up! Two more avatars for me! :)

Sat Jan 14, 2006 8:22 am

Woot! Two new avies for me too!

For those who don't know, you get the second avie

by viewing the Happiness Faerie in the Gallery of Heroes while the "I heart Sloth" avatar is your current neoboard avatar.

Two more for the collection. Thanks for the avatar warning everyone. :hug: Hugs and kisses (the good kind) all around.

Sat Jan 14, 2006 9:12 am

Agreed! Thanks, guys! :hug:

Awww...no black Meowclops avatar or anything cool...

Meaning to say this since yesterday:

TROTRODS! Hurray! That game is so fun. Now I get to earn points for playing it. I wonder when it gets an avatar.
