Return of Dr Sloth [Split 8]

[Lee]

But as for the bounty hunter being dead, I kinda doubt it. A character like that should never get knocked off that fast and it's Neopets so death may be avoided.

Of course That's why I put in the classic gag-and-stash maneuver. Of course she'd be found eventually but it's less likely that she'd be in there, spoiling the plot for the rest of the people.
However, since this is Neopets of course she's going to show up - I was just pointing out that the characters could have delayed her entrance to their benefit.

Oo oo oo! She could be forgotten about, found by some Sloth underlings after the plot is over. She was angry at her sudden removal from The Return of the Return of Dr. Sloth Plot and vows for revenge. Years later she inacts her revenge by crashing the space station! Or the stock market...

I'm suprised though we haven't started battling yet.

Feb. 14th news is out but no new clues. Are we done for this week? Or will there be more just before the weekend?

I'm sure there will be more this week, but maybe not until Friday, though so we can celebrate Valentine's with our significant others (though my hubby works nights, so for us, it will be Valentine's Afternoon) I'm just glad it's not tonight. I've got so much work to do (Yea! money)

Maybe no one else has this yet, but when I went to the Space Station I got a new battledome challenger, one of the guards from the last level. I suck at battling but Im pretty sure iys part of the plot. If you dont get him by going to the Space Station just check at the battledome for Commander Garoo.

Wasn't Commander Garroo in mission 6 of Defenders of Neopia though?

[channisleeping]

Yeah maybe, but why would I only get him now? Hmmmm, if no one else is getting him then you're prob right. Then my question is: Why haven't we started battling?

[Trilian8]

I've already had Commander Garoo for awhile and apparently I've already fought him once.... I beat him already. I just can't remember when I got him as a battledome challenger.

WOOT FINALLY!!!

Gotta refresh a cpl times

[Pink]

That page gives me a 404

[Katdragon]

Quoth the raven: "404"
I tried going to every deck and doing the tab trick to light up possible clickable areas.
No joy.

I do like the idea of the bounty hunter being locked up for the rest of the plot!

[Matrinka]

I got a 404 too... but I had this fun announcement: "The loudspeaker booms 'Next Thursday will be a holiday to celebrate our leader, Dr. Sloth.'"

Gotta love festive bad guys.

[Ange]

I'm getting nothing but a 404 as well.

How did you find that link, anyways?

[Katdragon]

Something interesting (and completely unrelated).
Notice that the blumaroo guards all have mirrored faceplates so they're pretty interchangable (ie, if there was a blumaroo in the resistance a uniform-change would be relatively easy).

Dr Sloth obviously hasn't read the "If I was an Evil Overlord" list (http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html) - he's made the following mistakes:

1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.

Just for fun, can you see any other mistakes he's made?

[Ange]

Might have violated this one...

I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.

Also this, just think of the last step hehe:

When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

You have Commander Garoo as a challenger, you get him randomly at the Space Station. A lot of people are getting the RE now because they are refresh a lot because of the plot.

Yeah maybe, but why would I only get him now? Hmmmm, if no one else is getting him then you're prob right. Then my question is: Why haven't we started battling?

Everyone gets the plot opponents at the same time - the battledome shuts down all other opponents and only the plot challengers are available.

There is nothing in the plot yet to warrant a battle. We had a little scuffle with Ylana and the guards but we escaped them with ease. I am sure the battle will be on a much grander scale.

Then my question is: Why haven't we started battling?

One simple explanation: A Mysterious Valentines Card

Long version being: the Gift shop is stocking things that it normally only does the week before V-day, including the "A Mysterious Valentines Card"
Since this item is rather hot and high in demand, people who do not normally restock are bashing the servers right now, trying to get a hold of them. I don't blame TNT for not wanting to add battling on top of that. (Of course, I completely forgot they were stocking until today, and I usually make a killer profit off them.)
If there's going to be a battle soon, it probably won't start until the weekend news (IOW, Friday afternoon). At least, that's my guess. This will mean that the V-day stuff is no longer in stock and thus the massive extra load on the servers will be gone.

Of course, I could be wrong.
