Neoboard gold

[Jelani]

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!

Meanwhile,

For Hamlet, it's lesson learned.

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.

And before you feel too bad about having a chuckle at some poor kid fumbling around on the internet, a twist in the tale!

Shocker.

Also, this epilogue, which I found inordinately funny:

[Siniri]

Wait, she trolled for 11 pages before giving up the gag? That's pretty awesome.

[Pickles]

Wow. Just wow. That was quite an amusing read. And reminds me that every once in a while, reading the neoboards can be entertaining.

Thanks Jelani. This was very entertaining this afternoon. I rarely never bother with the NeoBoards except to change my avatar, so I appreciate you brining the fun

There's a new Ruki Neopet? -jk jk

You obviously didn't read Jelly Neo. The Vandagyre Neopet has been retired, and the Ruki Neopet went from being limited edition to being available all the time (to take the place of the Vandagyre). Don't feel bad; you probably just haven't seen a Ruki before because they're really rare. But I'm sure you'll get to see one soon -- or maybe you can even create your own!

No, I haven't had the time to get over to Jelly Neo lately. The "regular" bartender is now gone, so I have more hours at the bar. Yay, more work

I am surprised that the Vadagyre is already retired. Wasn't that a new pet? Wow. That will make them even more rare. I have seen a Ruki once several years ago. This is because I actually had a Ruki for exactly 62 days thanks to the generosity of the Lab Ray. In hindsight, I really should have stopped zapping MyPet at that time! I was absolutely crushed when it changes species. All's well that ends well, I guess. That pet is now a Pink Poogle
