:''This article is about the plot details of the Altador Cup in 2009. For information about Yooyuball, see [[Altador Cup]]. For the plot details of 2006, 2007, and 2008 see [[Altador Cup I]], [[Altador Cup II]], and [[Altador Cup III]] respectively.''

'''Altador Cup IV''' is the 4th installment of the annual [[Altador Cup]] Tournament. It is a flash game-centred plot which began on June 2nd, 2009.

==News==
The return of the Altador Cup was announced on the [[New Features]] page on May 29th 2009.
Jellyneo discovered and released the new logo of Altador cup IV showing that Kiko Lake was back and [[Brightvale]] out, meaning to say that they were not participating . This year, [[TNT]] has introduced a new side game called [[Shootout Showdown]] to add three from the previous two existing side games, [[Slushie Slinger]] and [[Make Some Noise]].

==Plot summary==
With the return of the Altador Cup of 2009, it appears to not have brought much major roster changes in the 16 teams apart from [[Kiko Lake]], who tilted their roster a bit. Changes were switching [[Ditan Colb]] from Goalkeeper to Right Defender as well [[Meela Kitah]] from Right Defender to Right Forward, to releasing both Left and Right Forwards, [[Helmo Timm]] and [[Moni Vyshan]]. Their new Goalkeeper was Brightvale's own former, [[Erli Quinnock]].

[[Image:Ac9 brightvale.gif|right]]
Prior to earlier reports, it was confirmed that indeed Brightvale was not participating in the four annual tournament. [[King Hagan]] had issued a decree that which his team was not participating in this year's Altador Cup. The recent decline in the quality of work being done by his kingdom's scholars was the basis of his decision. This is what the King had to say.

''"It has been my personal observation, that in the weeks leading up to the arrival of this grand sporting spectacle, there's been far too much banner-making and memorizing of chants going on. As a result, the very foundation upon which this kingdom's reputation is based, its scholarship, has fallen prey to a serious case of neglect. Therefore, until my subjects have shown an ability to strike a harmonious balance between work and play, we shall forthwith be suspending our participation in the Altador Cup."''

Whether or not the reason why Brightvale was not participating was the decline of embarrasing losses to his brother's Kingdom of [[Meridell]]. All what King Hagen was stated;
''"such accusations are not worth dignifying with a reply."''

[[Image:Ac9 kikolake.gif|left]]

Meaning to say Brightvale was out but what about [[Kiko Lake]]? Surely enough they were back or did they suffer from another unfortunate coincidence that led them to another nonappearance. Well that was proven wrong as they made their way back to the [[Yooyuball]] scene after a year of delay and it seem the delay was worth it as they landed an impressive victory over [[Maraqua]]'s scrappy Yooyball squad, as well as wins in two of the three side contests. This is what the Captain, [["Poke" Cellers]] had to say.
''"It was really important to get out there and get that first victory, to give ourselves something to build on after what happened last year, especially with all the changes we've had in our lineup, bringing in a new goalie during the offseason and moving Ditan and Meela to new positions... yeah, today's win is huge."''

Though they had a superb start, it didn't seem to carry over to their second match against Kreludor as they were sweep quite hard. Though they can beat a team like Maraqua, it seems like they can't beat one of the tournament elite. Does it mean Kiko Lake is somewhere between the good and the best. Well only time will tell... But surely everyone now knows that Kiko Lake is back and will surely be a contender in this year's Altador cup.

[[Image:Ac9 kreludor.gif|right]]

Mentioning about the tournament elite that had sweep Kiko Lake, a team that perhaps took the Altador Cup by storm. Which is none other than the moon-based teamed [[Kreludor]]. Kreludor had finish sixth last year, and expectations for Team Kreludor were far below entering this year's Altador Cup than previous before. Yet, hardly anyone foresaw the kind of virtue that they showed during the tournament's first week of play, reeling off an impressive six straight Yooyuball victories.

Oh, but not all have been convinced of Kreludor's performance in the early stages of the competition, however. As one tournament insider (who declined to speak on the record) stated: ''"Kreludor? Pfft... they've just been beating up on a bunch of sorry teams. Who have they really beaten? [[Faerieland]]? [[Altador]]? [[Virtupets]]? [[Meridell]] might've been a quality win in the past, but they're losing as many as they win nowadays. Granted, Kreludor beat Darigan Citadel on Opening Day, but Darigan's playing like an entirely different team right now. No way Team Kreludor would beat those guys today."''

Fueling nay-sayers with more fuel, Kreludor's streak ended with a plummet that showed draws between Maraqua and [[Krawk Island]]. With the matches of [[Haunted Woods]], [[Shenkuu]], and Roo Island soon to come, it seems like Kreludor's season is at a indefinite crossroads. Could Kreludor show and prove their detractors wrong and deserve the spot with the sport's elite or take back to the spot of the middle of the pack- which they have for the last couple of AC's.

[[Image:Ac9 darigan.gif|left]]

As the Altador Cup IV reaches the midway point, it have been a year of some surprising performances in the tournament, both bad and good. Some teams have been doing well so far, but perhaps the most significant surprise has been the dominance of the [[Darigan Citadel]], which appears to have completely bounced back from last year's 7th place finish and more evidently what fans call "the winner's curse".

As previously mention, Darigan Castle had lost their first Yooyuball match against Kreludor, but Darigan has been nearly impossible to beat ever since, reeling off a dozen victories and only two ties without a single loss. They've hardly faltered on side games, either, reaching ten or more wins for the three side games during the tourney's first phase.

To comment about their recent success, team captain [[Layton Vickles]] had this to say, ''"It's been totally different this time around, as if we're re-learning how to have fun playing all over again. After winning in Year 9, there was just this incredible amount of pressure to come back and repeat, and that tension really worked against us."''

That's certainly inclining to that of [[Roo Island]], last year's champions, can relate to right now. At the tournament's halfway mark Roo Island stands as, of then, far and away, the tournament's biggest disappointment, losing more than half their contests. While most experts doubt that Roo Island is capable of surging a second half charge straight towards the finals, but as the old sporting cliché goes, "one should never underestimate the heart of a champion..."

[[Image:Ac9 finals.gif|right]]

With the second phase of the Altador Cup's double round robin coming to a close, the tournament's finalists have now been determined. The four teams competing for this year's title are Kreludor, Krawk Island, The Lost Desert, and Shenkuu, with the Darigan Citadel narrowly missing a spot in the finals and finishing fifth.

[[Image: Ac9 winner poses.gif|left]]

The tournament's final round came to this conclusion, with top-seeded Kreludor taking on fourth-ranked Shenkuu. In a matchup between the two and three seeds, Krawk Island will be squaring off against The Lost Desert. The winner of each pairing will then advance to the final match, where the tournament's champion will be decided.

The other three brackets were:

Bracket 2: Top seeded Darigan Citadel taking on fourth Mystery Island while second and third ranked Maraqua and Tyrannia battling it out.

Bracket 3: Top seeded Haunted Woods taking on fourth Virtupets while second and third ranked Roo Island and Meridell battling it out.

Bracket 4: Top seeded Kiko Lake taking on fourth Faerieland while second and third ranked Terror Mountain and Altador battling it out.

Krawk Island, which had failed to win the Altador Cup tournament in three previous trips to the finals, took advantage of top-seeded Kreludor's surprising defeat to claim the trophy that they've desperately sought for so long, taking full advantage of a weary Shenkuu team in the tournament's championship match.

A well-rounded squad with no apparent weaknesses, Kreludor entered the finals as the only team to earn 20 or more wins in each of the tournament's four activities during the double round robin phase. In squaring off against Shenkuu, however, they ran into a team who were prepared to play the match of their lives and show far more hustle, intensity, and sheer will than any other team, especially since Kreludor get the best of them just a week earlier.

It seems almost a shame then (although certainly understandable) that by the time Shenkuu reached the finals they were thoroughly spent, unable to maintain the level of focus and execution that had exceeded them to pull off one of the greatest upset in tournament finals history. It was into this fortunate situation that stepped a Krawk Island squad who, determined to not be turned away a fourth time, seized upon this inevitable opportunity to make good and finally "win one for Ol' Dash."

Altador Cup IV ended with the pirates (Krawk Island) beating out the ninjas (Shenkuu) after what seem to have been a most memorable season and giving Ol' Dash the trophy he so indefinitely deserves. While Lost Desert took 3rd place by beating Kreludor, who were first at the end of double round robin and were top contenders for the cup but in the end took 4th.

The 2nd bracket ended with Maraqua winning over Mystery Island and taking 5th place, a major accomplishment from last year's 10th finish. While Darigan Citadel beating out side game powerhouse Tyrannia to take the same rank from previous, 7th.

The 3rd bracket came with Roo Island beating out Haunted Woods for 9th, a major dealt to their 1st place from last year. While Meridell, who also came from a big dealt last year from being 5th, taking 11th by beating Virtupets.

The 4th and last bracket manage to give Terror Mountain the 13th place from Kiko Lake, who were thought to be a contender this year but didn't follow through. While in the bottom of standings, Altador just edge the 15th spot from Faerieland who took last.

==Overall Team Breakdown==

===[[Altador]]===
Altador came with 15th place in Altador Cup IV, after losing to Terror Mountain n the first round then taking the win from Faerieland in the second round of the Finals. Though they were second-to-last in Altador Cup IV, they came with the worst overall statistics; in Yooyuball with no wins, 1 draw, and 29 losses but doing better in the three side games with a combined 7 wins, 7 draws, and 76 losses altogether. Altador Cup IV gave Altador their worst placing as of yet after taking 13th place for the previous two season.

===[[Darigan Citadel]]===
Darigan Citadel ends up at 7th place for a second straight year after losing to Maraqua in the first round of the Finals but then won over Tyrannia in the second round. Though with their middle-of the pack placement, Darigan Citadel had the second best overall statistics of Altador Cup IV - only behind to Lost Desert, respectively. They tied Shenkuu with the second best Yooyuball record of Altador cup IV with having 21 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses but as well as having a decent side game prowess with the three side games combined to give them 51 wins, 16 draws, and 23 losses. Altador Cup IV's ranking for Darigan Citadel tied them for their worst placement from last year's performance after being second in Altador Cup I then winning in Altador Cup II.

===[[Faerieland]]===
Faerieland ended being 16th out of the 16 teams playing in the Altador Cup, after losing to Kiko Lake in the first round of the Finals and Altador in the second round. Though they were last in the rankings out of the 16 teams in Altador cup IV, overall in the standings, they did not get the lowest statistics with Yooyuball and the 3 side games combined with only Altador having the worst. Faerieland ended up with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 27 losses in Yooyuball but their side game skills were the worst of AC IV with a combined total in all 3 side games equaling to 0 wins, 1 draw, and 89 losses. Altador Cup IV gave Faerieland their second time as being last in the rankings wich they had avoided from the previous two seasons- taking 15th place in both AC II & III.

===[[Haunted Woods]]===
Haunted Woods finish with 10th place out of the 16 teams that competed during the Altador Cup IV after beating Meridell in the first round of the finals but then lost to last year's champion Roo Island in the second round. With 10th place overall for Altador Cup IV, they manage to get a better statistic, out of the 16 teams that competed, they were better than 8 teams but out-bested by 7 other teams giving them the 6th best statistics. Haunted Woods had 13 wins, 5 draws, and 12 losses in Yooyuball with an almost equal force in the side games which overall came together with 39 wins, 16 draws, and 35 losses. Altador Cup IV's ranking gave Haunted Woods their worst ranking ever after winning Altador Cup I to getting mediocre rankings the next two AC's afterward with a 7th place ranking followed by an 8th place ranking.

===[[Kiko Lake]]===
Kiko Lake came up with 14th place in a second consecutive year (excluding the year before where Kiko Lake didn't participate) which they got after they beat Faerieland in the first round than lost to Terror Mountain in the second round of the finals. Though they came up with the third lowest standing, they had a more approachable statistics to rely on as they got the 12th best with only their 4th tear-mates and Virtupets having worst records. Kiko Lake had 7 wins, 2 draws, and 21 losses in Yooyuball with slightly better side game skills which overall combined were 27 wins, 9 draws, and 54 losses. After missing out Altador cup III, Kiko Lake didn't make further headway in the standings for Altador Cup IV which is tied for their worst ranking back to AC II and one place worst than AC 1 where they got 13th.

===[[Krawk Island]]===
Krawk Island had beaten Lost Desert in the first round in the finals while Shenkuu likewise beaten the number one seed, Kreludor, so the final match was to be Krawk Island vs. Shenkuu. Krawk Island edge out Shenkuu in the second round which gave them 1st place in the standings, bragging rights of the year plus the coveted Altador Cup trophy. Even though they came with the AC, they didn't get the highest statistics overall but the 4th highest with Lost Desert, Darigan Citadel, and Shenkuu having better records. Krawk Island had 20 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses in Yooyuball but surprisingly had better side game records which was overall was 66 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses. After Krawk Island's finals experience for the last three years which were AC I: 3rd, AC II: 4th and AC III: 2nd, fans did not expect much from Krawk Island but expect the unexpected, as is rightfully suited for Krawk Island which after three years of not getting the top overall, finally got it, in Altador cup IV.

===[[Kreludor]]===
Kreludor was the top seeded team coming to the finals so expectations for them to win the AC IV was high but the expectations slowly diminished as they lost to Shenkuu in the first round followed up with the disappointing lost to Lost Desert in the second round of the finals to give them 4th place. With 4th place for the year, overall statically, they had the records to back up their ranking as they had the fifth best record out of the 16 teams. Tied with the winner Krawk Island with 20 wins, they were just 1 draw away (6) and a loss one to much (4), to tying with Krawk Island in Yoouyuball records but they did have better records overall in side games than Krawk Island with 68 wins, 14 draws, and 8 losses. Kreludor's highest ranking ever in the last 4 AC, it was a better improvement from 9th in Altador Cup I, to missing Altador Cup II, and then last year's standing of 6th.

===[[Lost Desert]]===
Lost Desert took 3rd place in Altador Cup IV after losing to Shenkuu in the first round of the finals but had manage to defeat Kreludor in the second round. Despite taking the last spot in the podium, but statically, they would have taken first. Lost Desert has the highest record out off the 16 teams that participated in Altador Cup IV with the best Yooyuball record consisting of 22 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses with a combine side game win/loss/tie of 52 wins, 14 draws, and 24 losses. In the first two AC's, Lost Desert took 5th place back to back. Surprisingly, in the following; AC III and in Altador Cup IV, Lost Desert had manage to get the same rank once again but in this case, it was 3rd.

===[[Maraqua]]===
Maraqua finishes in 5th place after beating Tyrannia in the first round and Mystery Island in the second round of the finals. With 19 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in Yooyuball and a combined score in the side games of 30 wins, 10 draws, and 50 losses; Maraqua secured the 6th highest best record out of the 16 teams. AC IV, has Maraqua's highest ranking to date (5th) after AC 1= 10th, AC II= 9th, and AC III= 10th. During the regular season, Maraqua succeeded in winning and incredible seventeen game streak but they eventually lost to the Krawk Island (Who coincidentally won AC IV).

===[[Meridell]]===
Meridell secured 11th place after losing too Roo Island in the first round of the finals and then winning over Virtupets in the second round. Meridell had the 10th best record after 11 wins, 5 draws, and 14 losses in Yooyuball and side game which combined is 31 wins, 13 draws, and 46 losses. By far, 11th place is Meridell's worst rankinging of the previous three which Meridell took 7th for AC I, 8th for AC II, and 5th for AC III- which was the highest improvement (3) out of the 16 teams in that year.

===[[Mystery Island]]===
Mystery Island finished in 6th place after beating Darigan Cirtadel in the first round and the losing to Maraqua in the second round of the finals. With their 7th best record; with Yooyuball W/D/L equaling to 18 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses and combine side game W/D/L of 28 wins, 12 draws, and 50 losses, they had just the right placement in the standings. Mystery Island had 6th place again for AC IV, which is their highest ranking but which they had in previous AC's (AC I & II) and only their 9th place standing in AC III have been their worst.

===[[Roo Island]]===
Roo Island came 9th place after beating out Meridell in the first round of the finals, and then Haunted Woods in the second round of the 3rd bracket. Roo island had the 10th best record with 12 wins, 8 draws, and 10 losses in Yooyuball which was almost identical to the three side game records; Slushie Slinger: 12 wins 3 draws 15 losses, Make Some Noise:12 wins 7 draws 11 losses, and Shootout Showdown:9 wins 3 draws 18 losses. Taking 9th place in AC IV is a major difference from being Champions from the AC III. Altador Cup IV is also Roo Island's worst season to date; after taking 4th in Altador Cup 1, 2nd in Altador Cup II, and as mentioned, winning Altador Cup III.

==Plot participation==

The gameplay is similar to Altador Cup II and III, where players choose and contribute points to their selected team. Players are not allowed to change their team after the registration period.

Altador Cup IV still uses the "double round robin" tournament play, introduced in Altador Cup II. Each team will play with the other fifteen teams twice, after which all teams will take part in the four days finals phase. The finals consist of a playoff match-up and a final match-up, each lasts for two days. The 16 teams will split into four groups according to their ranking. In the playoff match-up, the highest and lowest ranked teams for each group will play against each other, while the second and third ranked teams for each group play against each other. The two winning teams of each group will play against each other for the first place within their group, while the two losing teams fight for the third place.

Players can contribute points to their team by scoring goals in Yooyuball, and also by playing Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise, and Shootout Showdown. The results for all four games will be evaluated separately and contribute to the player's team overall standing in the tournament.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Ac9 krawkisland.gif|frame|Roo Island's trophy!?]]
*When TNT released the picture of which Dasher is holding the trophy of which Krawk Island won, if you look closely on the team colors in the middle of the trophy, it seem to reveal that [[Brightvale]] had actually played while Kiko Lake wasn't, while another thing is that Kreludor's position seem to have shifted as well. Which mean that Dasher could be carrying the Altador cup trophy that Roo Island had won last year.

*'''Proper Neopet Category''' - It was decided the <s>Pet types</s> was an improper name for Neopets, and that [[:Category:Neopet Species|Neopet Species]] would be better. Once All articles linked to "Pet types" are linked to "Neopets Species", it shall be deleted.
**''September 8, 2007 - October 14, 2007''
*'''"Characters" Category Clean-Up''' - The [[:Category:Characters|Characters]] category has over 200 articles linked to it! In order to make it more easily navigated, we need to link them to more appropriate sub-categories (where it applies). The easiest way to do this it to label the characters as either a [[:Category:Heroes|Hero]] or [[:Category:Villains|Villain]] (or both if it applies). The goal is to get as close to 150 articles in "Characters" as we can.
**''August 28, 2007 - October 26, 2007''
*'''No Such Thing As Spoilers''' - In the past, it was once deemed necessary to label plots as containing spoilers in any wiki if they spoiled something for the reader. However, this has sense changed, and the placing of a spoiler tag on articles is now frowned upon...but the NeoDex still has one!!! We need to remove all tags from articles which have them, then we can delete the template, which has become a relic of a world long forgotten.

==Content off Wikipedia==
As a preventive measure: there is content that was copied from Wikipedia, such as [[Neopets, The Website]], but they need to be brought into line with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL GFDL] license, which says that the content needs to be attributed to the writers. (I'm not sure, but perhaps just linking to the Wikipedia article and saying that some content was "taken from" or "based on" it would be enough?) Thanks. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 16:33, 2 Apr 2006 (CDT)

:*bows* thank you for bringing this to my attention. Will make a link to it on the discussion page (along with other articles).--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:31, 3 Apr 2006 (CDT)

::In line with the GFDL, I believe that is still illegal. You have to include it in the References section, the original URL. You may want to add to the general footer that this content is under the GFDL, and may have been taken from Wikipedia. You'll need the notice somewhere. Maybe create a template, a 'Licensed from Wikipedia' one? --Unsigned by 82.27.224.85, 20:43, 16 Nov 2006

=="Wockypedia"?==
Whereas [[wikipedia:Wookieepedia|Wookieepedia]] is the name of the Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the Neopets Wiki to "'''Wockypedia'''"? --[[User:68.102.193.78|68.102.193.78]] 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT) ([[wikipedia:User:Shultz IV|Shultz IV of Wikipedia]])

: I dunno. I think In-depth Neopedia, myself, to keep up with the In-depth theme. You know, In-depth NeoQuest, In-depth Battlepedia... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 01:48, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

::ehh... I dunno, In-Depth Neopedia doesn't have much of a ring too it, especially not for a wiki. I think Neodex is alright, but reminds me a bit too much of Pokedex (y'know, from Pokemon). Neopedia sounds nice to me. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:52, 12 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Collaboration==
So...i was thinking of a new feature to add to the current events, to bring it more into the spotlight. Perhaps have a featured collaborated article, one which would be collectivily worked upon until it's felt to be completed (or close enough)?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:53, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:With the new format of the community portal, this idea has taken full effect. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

==Item Articles?==
Are articles about items going to be included in NeoDex? The wiki seems to be in it's infancy right now and I'd love ot help out. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:32, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:Articles will be made on items which are noteworthy and have a histroy to them, such as [[Dung]] or [[Motes]]. And your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:12, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Community Live Chats==
We should set up an IRC chat room shouldn't we :) --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 04:06, 5 Nov 2005 (CST)

:something is called for. (would a forum be better/worse?) --[[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] 07:36, 6 Nov 2005 (CST)

==NeoDex Guild==
Anyone want to meet-up / form a guild or generally get to know each other better? --unsigned--

:Perhaps we should list our (primary) NeoName (no passwords now, that would be silly) under who am I? --unsigned--

I definitely think a guild is a good idea. Anyone else up for it? :) [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 18:08, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I'm all for it. a guild would perhaps be a nice addition to the NeoDex. I'm not going to create a guild myself, but if a member (registered member only) would like to create one, I will back it as the official guild of the NeoDex. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:01, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::At the moment i think this idea is defunct, and shall not be considered anymore. Besides, there would be no way for all members of the neodex to be part of the guild should it be created, as it would mean they would need to leave the other guilds. It wouldn't be a very open community. Talk pages of articles here and the official Neodex discussion in the pinkpt forums should suffice. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:03, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

==This portal needs spifified.==
This portal needs some real big spiffying, like the main page. You should make it LOOK GOOD =/ --[[User:62.255.32.12|62.255.32.12]] 17:08, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:I agree, but until we actually have a concept of what this page will actually be, we are stuck on that. any suggestions? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:09, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

is the current portal spifified enough? :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

=='Editors' Section==
At the risk of seeming somewhat uppity, I am worried about this section... I mean, [[User:Makuta Bookworm|one of the 'editors']] on the list has only ever edited the Community Portal and his user page, [[User:Toothless200|another]], excepting the Community Portal, his user page and the sandbox, made two edits, one minor, to the [[Cheeseroller]] article. These two members haven't edited since the 16th March and the 26th June respectively. A [[User:Qazwiz|third]] hasn't been seen sincde the 29th July and only made nine edits to anything other than his user page or the community portal (and was disciplined for at least one of these)...

Frankly, I feel this section could be made useful as a reference for members of the community who are currently active and make significant contributions or were active and made a significant contribution... After all, it may help for a new user to consult such members...

I think at best the Editor's section should be used as a sort of Hall of Fame of editors - no doubt the wrong words to use, but if you can understand from my above comments what I mean... For example, while [[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] hasn't been on for a while, when he was on he made many of the earliest contributions. [[User:Duke of Earl|Duke of Earl]] contributed in a similar manner.

[[User:Mirmadon|Mirmadon]] for her extensive care-taking and [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] for his dedication (when he got the time, anyway ;)).

Oh, and who is that other, tirelessly devoted one? [[User:Jacob|His name escapes me]], but I'm fairly sure he has done more edits than anyone else. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:26, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Had to pump up my ego, did you? ha ha. :D You need not worry of the consequences, as i agree with you. the list as it is isn't very helpful to new members, and actually showing a list of members who have/are contributing well to the NeoDex would be better than an optional signature tag. Something like "Editor Hall of Fame", where admin of the NeoDex point out users whom they believe have done a lot for the NeoDex. or "Notable Editors"...i actually like the sound of "Hall of Fame" really. could always be changed, just as we are now changing what the list is. Should a link to each of these users contributions be shown as well? i'm thinking yes. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:32, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:I removed the list from the discussion, seeing as it doesn't really need to be here anymore (can be grabbed from the history if it wants to be seen). The new list of users will be made shortly. Input is always appreciated, and seeing as this will be a new thing, it will be needed. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:10, 8 Dec 2006 (CST)

==New categrories and articles==
It's time to think of new categories to add it seems. The final 2 articles in the <s>secrets category</s> don't really fit into any other sections. To help this i think it would be good to make new categories for both of them. One such idea is to have a "guides" category, which would show collected lists of information link the [[Mystery Pic Solutions]] and such. Also, the article [[Old Neopets]] makes me think we can expand on the whole "redesign" idea. New articles called "Neopet Redesigns", "Petpet Redesigns", and other such redesigns can be noted (along with the latest [[Neopets 2.0]]). There can even be an category for articles like this as well.

Just giving some ideas on how we can better organize all the data, and looking for feedback. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:51, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

:Both categories sound good to me. I think they'll work perfectly for the articles left under "secrets" and the others. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:33, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

==Versions==
You guys should honestly upgrade your wiki software. I mean, 1.4? 0.o It's 1.10 already out there. [[User:Neoran23|Neoran23]]

:I agree with you. but it's not in my hands, but in the hands of the maintainers of the website. Updating the NeoDex would require updating the main [http://www.pinkpt.com PinkPT] first...which is a process still in the waiting. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:11, 8 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::Uhm, are you sure? I don't think that the wiki version depends on the PHP version installed on the server.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::From my understanding, you need upgraded PHP to use the newer coding. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading As an example], 1.10 requires PHP 5.0.x or later. Also, i only know what i'm told by the maintainers of PinkPT. If they say they can't update yet, I have to take their word. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::::Jacob, is there any plan to update the wiki version? I understand that the PHP version on this server is still version 4 as of this post, but I learnt it the hard way that we are unable to resize uploaded images using wikicodes... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 11:30, 12 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Again, I have no idea when the coding will be updated. This factor should be multiplied considering I've been away for awhile (again, I apologize). It ''would'' be nice to resize images with simple wiki coding, then we could use larger images without worry. But at this point, all we can do is update their sizes manually. Need to find out if this can be changed yet. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Partnership with another wiki==
It has been suggested by the members of the German site helony.com to connect the Neopets articles of the [http://www.helony.com/wiki/ German petgames wiki] respective English ones. For this, you would have to go into the database table which has interwiki in its name, insert hln into the column iw_prefix, http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1 into the column iw_url, leave the other columns blank, then go to the file Names.php ins the languages folder and add
<pre>hln => Helony,</pre> to this list. That would make e.g. <nowiki>[[hln:Neopets]]</nowiki> appear as an interwiki in the sidebar like on Wikipedia. Of course we at Helony would do the same. Please let me know if you are interested in such a partnership :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I think something like this was suggested to me in the past as well by Yukio, saying that other sections were finding affiliates so i could as well. I turned it down, as i didn't think it was nessesary. Think the conversation is in my talk page...i forget. Would like to hear more about this. Are you simply asking for a external link to the german wiki on the NeoDex sidebar? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::No, I am speaking of a link from every single German Neopets-related article to the respective article on Neodex and vice-versa (not more and not less :D). It would be just a small link in the sidebar, as [http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Himmelsdemon here] the link to my profile on Wikibeta. As I suppose I am the only here, who speaks German, I would set the links myself, I just need the corresponding software changes and of course your approval.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:23, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Similar to the way regular english Wikipedia links to articles in other languages, right? With a "In other languages" box on the sidebar? creating and maintaining other language articles is something i haven't considered, and i've outright deleted articles which were created in other languages in the past here on the NeoDex. Of course, you are saying these articles would link to the article on another wiki, so i suppose that's different than having it on this server.

I just don't know. it's something i haven't bothered to consider, seeing as we already have a lot of work to do on the NeoDex as it is. my apologies on not being more hopeful. :S I do like the idea of having our information be more international, because there are many users out there who i think would like to participate, but can't comprehend the english. A gap we can hope to bridge in the future? Or very soon, should we move ahead with this...*ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:55, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:We could use a template a la [[Wikipedia:Template:Wiktionarypar|those used on Wikipedia to link over to other projects]]... Cross-referencing the Neodex and Helony would be a wonderful step, however it is achieved. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:24, 10 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Macbeth, this solution would be agreeable as well (although a template is actually bigger than a small link in the sidebar :/) So just to be sure, do I have permission to create such a template and add it to existing articles? And is it ok to you if the German wiki just has link to your respective articles as mentioned above? Please note that the German articles are not translations of the Neodex articles, but existing articles on their own.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:05, 11 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I suggested using a template like that as the NeoDex and Helony are managed by different groups... Different projects, as you will, so article standards and approaches would be different. What concerns me about having an 'alternate language' wikilink is that some may think it was a direct translation, and not a separate project...

:I am quite happy for the template idea to go ahead here, although we should probably wait for Yukio or Jacob to report back on it. If Helony would rather use the interwiki form, then that's fine with me, provided it is noted that they are separate projects so things like user accounts, etc, would not be transferable across wikis, etc...

:I was thinking a template on this end of the style of the featured articles template might be good... or something more like the wikipedia template referenced above? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:56, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::If you would like to try the template idea for the moment, i'm fine with it. It will give a trail basis to the idea of what you would like to try out. Don't know which articles you would place them on, seeing as you say the articles on Helony aren't going to be exact translations. The Interwiki link sounds more preferrible, doesn't it? ;) Will look into it should i manage to catch up with things. Have a "whole plate of pancakes to eat" or so to speak. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:39, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Under Construction vs. Stub==
It is suggested on the portal that articles that are 'under construction' be built up to a stub - surely it is the other way around? A stub has very little information at all, a bare few words on a topic... An article that is under construction, however, will have specific areas that need to address and are being addressed... if you see what I mean...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:31, 16 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:You raise a good point. Perhaps we could...have the rules be different here? :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:31, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I follow? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:52, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::Have the role of "under construction" and "stub" be switched around. Sorry to confuse. :P Then again, that doesn't really work if someone with wiki know how comes here and gets baffled. What action are you suggesting? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:21, 18 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::::We could do that, I suppose, but I fancy it would be a bit confusing... And an under construction article preferable to a stub, I think, as there is a clear indication of where to expand it... I thought we could just ask for under construction articles to be developed into less-under construction articles, to be honest xP --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:16, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::::I'm thinking the [[Help:Stub]] article needs to be updated to explain the difference once again. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:42, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==Is this important enough to be added?==
I love [[The Tale of Woe]], and when I was searching for things to add to, I discovered there is no article for ''Hissi oil'', the potions that [[Mr. Krawley]] sold. I'm not sure if this would be important enough to be added, but I'd be happy to add it if it is. --[[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 04:22, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think there is enough information to make a Hissi Oil article. Nor do I think it's the only potion Krawley makes. It WOULD be interesting if every potion he gave is Hissi Oil, which would mean Hissi have something sinister within them that makes others transform, but as stated, I don't think that is the case. Personally think he's just claiming it as Hissi Oil and how healthy the potion is like most swindlers who would sell anything for a buck. In either case, think it's important to speak about his potions only in his article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:41, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, thats what I figured, but I just wanted to cheak. - [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Regarding Neopet popularity==
I would like to have some way to notify readers that the Neopet Popularity we reference when discussing the different species of pets is not entirely accurate. The Popularity page itself admits that it only includes created pets, not morphed or labbed, so the numbers can be widely inaccurate... is creating an article about Neopet Popularity the way to go, or is there another article already existing it would be best to tack this onto? I'm a stickler for accuracy and I don't think that anyone in the world would believe that there are really only 2,300 Krawks in all of neopia... (or 12,000 Draiks, for that matter). --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 00:02, 1 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I feel that we have nothing much to write about if we create an article just for Neopet popularity discrepancy. Since it is near impossible to find out the estimate number of a particular Neopet, I'm thinking of one of the following:
:*Avoid listing the number of Neopet on the Neopet articles.
:*Mention that it's the number of ''created'' Neopet. (ie. created 2,377 Krawks as of October 2007)
:Where is Jacob nowadays? --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

::Well, we ''need'' to mention the number of created Neopets, because it's a notable number. Still, it's obvious it isn't an accurate account, and I suppose this could be mentioned in full on the [[Neopet]] article itself.

::And Jacob has been busy, and very bad at keeping up with things that need doing. Still want to complete and edit the NEoDex, though things have just gotten...complicated...is all. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:::Haha, it's okay - At least you're back. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:25, 19 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Image deletion==
I would like to know if there is anyway you could delete the file I uploaded, Old_maraqua.PNG ? I forgot to take away the white background, making it a huge file. I now have a much smaller file, but I was hoping you could get rid of that one first. Thanks! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

:While trying to rush off for work, I really deleted the image before realising it's not required X(. You can always re-upload the image to Neodex with the same filename, instead of deleting. Anything uploaded to Neodex will not be possible to totally remove from the server. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Ok, thank you very much! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Battledome Weapons==
Would it be a good idea to create pages for all Battledome weapons? In the Under Construction area, I see many uncreated pages that are about BD weapons and I don't know whether or not I should create pages for them. Should we have some kind of criteria or something before we create pages for weapons? Or would it be best to make pages (such as Freezing Weapons, etc.) and list weapons? These are all just suggestions, though. I'd appreciate some other "opinions" before I do anything :)

[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 01:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

:The only Battledome Weapons we tend to add to the Neodex are ones that tend to be extremely notable like the [[Sword of Skardsen]], [[Ghostkerbomb]], and the [[Attack Pea]] collection. There are several noted item databases as well as battledome databases that chronicle the full list of these items and their effects in battle. In general, we attempt to avoid creating another of them. At some point in the future it might make sense to add examples or lists of the BD weapons sold in each of the weapon/armor shops on those shops' pages but it's not necessary... Perhaps you would be interested in helping us fill in the [[Battledome Equipment]] page? If you see, the [[:Category:Battledome_Equipment]] is not that big and the items tend to be either a notable collection like the [[Scorchstone]]s or [[Hidden Tower]] items. If there are other "groupings" of weapons/armor like the muffins, motes, etc... those would probably be an acceptable addition but please refrain from making a page for every item. :) --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response :) I'll probably do some work on the Battledome Equipment page and fill in information about the shops. One final question: Under the Battledome Equipment Terms section, I have quite a few terms I can add (tank, league, boost, and some others), but these terms usually apply only to "experienced" Battledomers (people who BD a lot). Would it be best if I added these terms or just left them out? [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 12:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Those terms refer to experienced play, in which they are used to quickly explain strategy and the like, so refraining from using them would be best. External links to websites where people use them, explain them and etc. is fine though. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Attacks on User Lookup talk page==
The most recent attack (31 August 2008, around 12pm UTC) all came from a common ISP, which ranges from 194.8.74.0 - 194.8.75.255. We might have to prevent anonymous editing for the whole range for a period of time if the problem persist.

Or are we going to block all (except logged in users) from editing, like what we did before the mediawiki was upgraded? I'm not too sure about this anymore... Wiki is supposed to be allowed for all to modify. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

:One of the many things which I miss was the necessary creation of an account in order to edit the NeoDex, simply because it made things a whole lot easier to maintain. Hopefully it can be brought back into the fold. All should be able to modify articles, yes, but it seems others are ruining that freedom. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Some spammer is adding gibberish to pages, at least I guess it's one person using a lot of accounts, because it's got a pattern. The accounts which I suspect to be used by him are[[User:CacroLvich]], [[User:SitzeLnoli]], [[User:CnaalErour]], [[User:OlozeLalac]] and [[User:RobocRacch]]. And I think he also was DomtaOrelt, RonopAsbod, AcelrOalcv, OuricDronv and a lot of other spam accounts, like RictaDarsi, who created a lot of spam pages. Could anyone do something against him? --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 14:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I probably was wrong when saying it was one user who added the spam to pages - my new guess it's a bot network or something. When users get blocked like all those vandals, account creation is disabled, so they have to use another computer to sign up again, and I don't think that vandal has 16 or more computers. My guess is that he's a hacker/cracker who controls a bot network or something comparable. Just wanted to correct what I said. --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 17:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

:I only ''wish'' it were that easy to prevent vandalism! Sort of like the movie Minority Report, we stop the vandals before they strike hehe. Unless there's something I don't know about I guess the only way is to deal with the spam as they come and hopefully it will stop soon. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 05:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

::We could implement the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA], which can greatly reduces the amount of vandalisms, while still allowing anonymous users to edit. By default, the reCAPTCHA will apply to anonymous edits with links (which we are currently encountering), new accounts (we had this problem in the past when we disallowed anonymous editing, and it came back briefly recently as mentioned by Likiana), and brute force attack on accounts. If that is not enough, we can further implement reCAPTCHA on new page creations and all edits. Registered users on the other hand, will not be affected by this reCAPTCHA. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== New Head/additional Head Admin needed ==
I can no longer give the necessary attention to this wiki that it deserves. Plenty of you can attest to that. So, I need to hand the torch to someone that can. I know I've been the go to guy for pretty much all questions and situations, mostly due to the fact I've built the wiki from the ground up. Now that my life is filled with complete fail, however, someone else must be able to take up the task of keeping things in order.

From what I've seen, the "head" of the admins needs to keep articles and links in order, thinking about the whole of the wiki, and discovering new and better ways to present and archive data. Requires a diverse understanding of what articles are within the NeoDex, and wiki coding. Good social skills help as well, because nothing makes things more confusing than someone who can't explain something well. This socially stunted man can attest to that.

As I haven't been here in awhile, I don't know who has been keeping the most tabs with things, so I think it would be good to hear from the rest of you how the status quo should change. Again, this isn't an all powerful position in which you can do whatever you please. The Head Admin is just like every other Admin...with more emphasis. Of course, if that's the case, must there BE a "head"? Discuss Any and all thoughts you may have.

My apologies for having it take so long, but I'm officially putting my foot down and saying someone else must take the job of Head Admin. Or stand in. Or become an additional. Whatever. However it's going to be. Just hope we can discover a solution so that the wiki won't suffer anymore due to my failings. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:I will go ahead and say that I am sure many will agree that nothing you have done can be considered a failing. It is more a... concurrence of unlucky circumstances.
:That said, we need to come up with a candidate for a new head admin. I can imagine four candidates: [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[Special:Contributions/Macbeth|contribs]]), [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]] ([[Special:Contributions/Emeraldosprey|contribs]]), [[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ([[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contribs]]), and [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dizzy|contribs]]). They all have their different pros and cons (please don't take offense).
:*Macbeth: Oldest ([http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights Rights log]) sysop after Kym and Jacob, therefore has the most experience. Sadly not very much active during the recent time.
:*Emeraldosprey: Shows very much and constant dedication, is however the "youngest" sysop.
:*SwordFire: Is generally experienced with coding, which includes not only wiki coding, but PHP. Therefore most likely to come up with new ideas and to have them implemented. However, slightly less active than Emeraldosprey.
:*Dizzy: Has always made a reliable impression. One could only complain at the fact that most of her recent contributions are reverts.

:Regarding possible other candidates: I think we all agree that the new head admin needs to be a present admin. While [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] has not contributed for over 2 (!) years, [[User:Cath|Cath]] shows large times of activity followed by equally long inactivity. While I simply show inactivity and currently don't have the time for being a head admin.
:I hope I did't say something that anybody took offense for. Discuss.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

::Mostly reverts shouldn't be an issue here. We are all doing mostly reverts recently due to spam attacks :P.
::Recently I've to concentrate on my other commitment due to the upcoming Firefox 3.1. I usually becoming less active whenever a new Firefox version is going to be release. During at this time, I'll still be monitoring the Neodex via the RSS. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 07:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I still have some other people to contact, because I don't think this is reaching enough ears at this point. I loathe not being able to focus enough time on things like this... :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sorry about the late response (thanks for reminding me Demon)! I don't know, I've never been the leader type. It seems like most of us have been too busy to devote time to the NeoDex and all we can do is revert. I've been focusing most of my attention on school as my grades have, erm, "slipped" ;P I hope to make up for my absence during the summer which is unfortunately a long ways off. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 19:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

::While I am touched to have been mentioned here, I do not think I would be able to give the NeoDex the regular attention that I gave it circa 2006 and 2007, the level of attention that you all undoubtedly deserve from me - of course, Jacob's shoes would be very hard for any of us to fill. My involvement both with Neopets and the Neodex has been unacceptably sub-par recently, for which I apologise unreservedly, but I am afraid that it was and is unavoidable due to conditions in my personal life at the moment, the details of which (for the sake of brevity and not wishing to sound too self-indulgent) I will spare you.

::I am willing to do what I can here - I still check in with what time I can spare to pursue the recent changes - but my usefulness is no doubt heavily limited by how I am not keeping up with the Neopets site itself.

::No one can replace the hard work put in by Jacob, who nurtured the Neodex out of its infancy to blossom into what is, truth be told, almost a self-supporting project. Whether he can be active in his role or not, Jacob is and will remain, as much as he ever was, the Head Admin: the Neodex is truly his brain child. All anyone else can hope to do is to fill in in the mean time.

::Our admins and our editors have by themselves been keeping an eye out for vandalism, and still able to fulfil the primary objectives of this wiki - to expand, and to improve, its coverage of all things Neopets, and to become the a one-stop resource for Neopians everywhere. I would suggest if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops, being the go-to-person on Neodex policy, and directing the Neodex's development in the future, then I any of our sysops are qualified for the job. I give my personal endorsement and faith to [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 them all].

::On a personal note, while I may not have an active presence on the site as I once did, I ''will'' appear from time to time, and you are all at liberty to contact me - you should be able to e-mail me through the Neodex [[Special:Emailuser/Macbeth|here]], which should also be linked on my user-page in to toolbox on the bottom left - if you would ever like to call on me to address something specific around here - you have total access to my consultancy :).

::I hope I find you all well, and I hope that both Jacob and I will be able to eventually give the Neodex more consistent ministration. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:::I personally don't see the need for a "head admin" as the wiki seems to run fine even in Jacob's absence. During the recent spam attacks, all admins here worked together to keep the site clean of spam even though there was no "leader" to organize them. I don't see why this cannot continue in the future. Any thoughts? --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

::::As much as I whole-heartedly agree with ''nearly'' every aspect of what Macbeth has said (thumbs up!), there is one issue I'd like to bring up. You said "if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops..." The problem currently is, that sysops cannot promote members. Only bureaucrats can, that is, [[User:Yukio|Kym]] and [[User:Jacob|Jacob]]. I don't know whether Jacob will be online often enough to fulfill these duties, and I believe Kym doesn't have the time to look for possible sysop candidates. Of course we as the sysops could always come to Kym with a full-reasoned proposal so that he can promote the people. Question is whether he would be willing to go through the hassle of doing this every time.

::::So I have to ask you, Jacob, do you think you can ensure that deserving members of the community are promoted to sysops whenever necessary - without us having to go to Kym every time this needs to happen? If yes, I can say with a clear conscience that I don't have any objections to the situation staying like it currently is :) --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Kym has enough on his hands to have the sole responsibility of promoting regular editors to admin, especially when he doesn't regularly edit articles here. I assume he's expecting we as the editing community to govern ourselves in such a way to work independently of the rest of PinkPT. Which I suppose brings up the need to have someone else to "lead" besides myself. Still haven't heard any news from him or the rest of the staff yet, and I'm a little worried at that, but I'm hoping a solution can be found and continued (improved?) flow of information can continue. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, it might be a good idea to raise it at the next AIM meeting, then. I mean, the Neodex has always been a bit independent, but I can appreciate the value for his input. It may be sensible to promote a few of the current sysops to buearocrats, make sure the Neodex is regularly backed up, and hope no one goes completely mad with power! ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

::Hi guys, Kym here. Apologies about the tardy response - I was involved in a car accident in South America, was in surgery for a week, and have arrived back in Australia for about two weeks now - the recovery involving many doctor appointments.

::Before I left for South America, I initiated a change in the staff system at PPT, and have spent the past two weeks implementing the changes etc. All staff here are required to sign up at http://www.pinkpt.com/forum - make sure you PM me your username so I can give you access to the private staff board. All staff decisions will be made from there. As I check that board every day now, I can be contacted if anyone ever needs me.

::The appointment of Jacob's replacement is necessary - and I will be working with all staff here at the NeoDex to assure that the transition goes smoothly. Anyone interested in Jacob's position should email me kym@kymhuynh.com with their application. If anyone here has recommendation or issues at the NeoDex that they feel needs to be addressed, I can also be contacted via my email. Note, however, that this is only temporary. In the future, all communication will be at the staff board @ http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/

::Thanks for your patience guys and I look forward to your emails. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 03:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Hi guys. As I have received no applications from any current staff from the NeoDex, I will now open up applications for the new NeoDex Administrator to a wider audience at the Pink Poogle Toy community. The posting will be made here: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=53 --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 09:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

== Patrolling edits ==

Could you guys help me partolling edits, please? To do that more efficiently, go to [[Special:Recentchanges|Recentchanges]] and click the "Hide patrolled edits" link. Just go through the changes that have an exclamation mark next to them and click the "diff" link.
I'd like to have every edit patrolled because we might else let things slip past, like [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Lutari&diff=prev&oldid=35187 that edit] which broke a link.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 22:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

:Oh, so that's what those exclamation points mean :P I've been battling with these edits and this sure makes things easier! --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 04:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== Daily Dare ==
Wondering if one page needs to be made with all relevant info about previous years challenges.
at the moment, there is only a [[Daily Dare 2007]] page which i have edited slightly to include new info about 2009's challenges. Perhaps the page title needs to only be changed?
[[User:Corythepaperboy|Corythepaperboy]] 06:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Wiki protection ==

Maybe we should set the wiki to allowing registered users only and require new accounts to be confirmed by sysops before they can edit? I know I have seen that option in the documentation somewhere, would have to dig around a bit...--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 17:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:Requiring accounts to be sysop-activated seems a bit far - plus, how are we meant to distinguish the accounts that ''will'' become good users from the ones that will not, based on no edits? Forcing registration again sounds like a good idea, though. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

::Well, the main reason why I suggested activation by hand was that we might get mass registrations like [[User:EltroRolri]], [[User:OuricDronv]], [[User:OlotrVarac]] etc (see [[Special:Logs/Block]] from January 8th). I will wait for more feedback for now and then talk to Kym about that. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:::In most cases, these kind of accounts were created using a bot, which can be prevented by implementing something random like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit |ConfirmEdit] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA]]. We can further extend it to anonymous edits to prevent anonymous bots from editing. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

::::Thanks SwordFire :D If no one has any objections, I will mention it to Kym on the next staff meeting.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 09:12, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Update: I have now implemented reCAPTCHA. It should be triggered on registration and whenever external links are added. I think that should make blocking anonymous users obsolete. That can still be implemented if necessary.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 14:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::Great work! :) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 21:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::This should stop most attacks except blanking and random text (which both of them do not include external links). So long as these two do not go out of control, we can just stay as it is. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 15:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

== Avatar items? ==
Do you think that popular avvie items such as the [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] should have their own articles on the NeoDex? Idk, because there are popular Hidden Tower items' articles and it would definitely not make sense if FQD didn't have its' own article. [[User:A Neezles A|Charlotte xoxo]] 22:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:These items are notable, but in my opinion do not have a lot of information to become an article. They can be combine with [[Zafara Double Agent]] and [[Faerie Queen]] respectively, under a sub-header. We can then redirect [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] to these two main articles. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

== User block ==

Any sysop can possibly block [[User:64.231.10.29]]? On Aug 31 2009 s/he has been adding false information to [[Shenkuu]]. Thank you! [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 18:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

== Move restriction ==

To prevent (future) grief to everyone here, I'm going to request for a move restriction to new Nexdex accounts. This will prevent anybody from create a new account just to start moving articles all over the place. I'll not mention how long will it take for an account to be allowed to move an article though.

This will take some time to implement, depending on how fast Kym access the server and make the modification. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:I love this idea, but I don't know, Hagrid a.k.a Wheeler a.k.a. Tewapack a.k.a Willy on Wheels a.k.a. 'B Neezles B' might stop doing the move mess-up and start to vandalise pages, remove content, and that kind of stuff. And this option can't really be done because I think Wikipedia doesn't have this kind of thing. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::SwordFire, you are the greatest. *grovels at your feet* If Wheels of whatever he goes by starts to do any of that stuff, it is a lot easier (and less confusing) to undo it. If this request is approved I will definitely sleep sounder at night ;) --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 16:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::Also, don't forget that he might stop this moving business and start vandalising. He did change dung into $|-|17, you know. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Another restriction that I can think of is to request all Neodex users to add an email account and confirm it. That way, Vandals have to go through several steps before he/she can do some damage. But I'll need to look into this first.

::::As for the vandalism, the only way to partially prevent this is to implement a full lockdown (ie. no anonymous edit, account approval by sysop, etc.), which I do not really prefer. Moreever, those accounts which sysop approved might be vandals themselves. But I'm open for suggestions. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::BTW, a vandal may start being helpful, try to go admin, and then start vandalizing with admin powers and deleting the good pages and creating bad ones, and protect them. Or we could just block moving for non-admins all along. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::At the moment, I don't think anybody is going to be promoted to sysop, unless we have an active bureaucrat first. As at the moment, the two bureaucrats in Neodex might not be able to act fast enough to stop a rogue sysop, since they have to concentrate on the whole pinkpt site. But that is beside the point. Right now, we have to do something to the current situation first. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:56, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::If you think about it, if you only allow editing (for all articles) for autoconfirmed users and above, it is almost similar to kicking everybody (except bureaucrats, sysops and users who are already autoconfirmed) out of Neodex. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:49, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::I agree, because wikis are meant to be edited by ''everyone'', and if this would be done I'd only put this restriction on CERTAIN articles... [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 18:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::::::::Maybe this could be done to featured articles only, since they're common targets? [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 19:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Shoyru

2009-10-03T20:29:19Z

75.24.176.98: Updated

[[Image:Shoyru blue baby.gif|frame|right|Blue Shoyru as of May 2006.]]

{{construction|reason=Detailed pet overview}}
The '''Shoyru''' is a small [[wikipedia:dragon|dragon]]-like Neopet released on April 20, 2000.

==Overview==
The Shoyru was originally created by a user in a "Create-A-Pet" competition run on the site. Since that time, their design has remained relatively unchanged. Shoyrus are fantastic flyers who love to soar through the skies. Contrary to popular belief, Shoyrus do not breathe fire, and they do in fact possess two eyes.

Shoyrus have the distinction of placing first in [http://www.neopets.com/topneopets.phtml Neopet popularity]. They comprise roughly 6.24% of all Neopets created.

==Colours==
As of April 2009, Shoyrus come in 50 different [[Rainbow Pool|colours]]:

==Trivia==
*As of October 2009, there are over 16 million Shoyrus in existence. On an average, five thousand Shoyrus are born per day. They are also featured in 122 different [[item]]s. They are the most popular Neopet in Neopia.
*''Shoyru Day'' is April 2nd.
*In the [[Neopets TCG]], Shoyrus are associated with the element of [[Air Faerie|Air]].
*Shoyrus are featured in a total of 6 [[avatar]]s, including the '''Bless You, Shoyru''' avatar, which is obtained by blessing one's pet Shoyru with a Bottled Faerie.
*The Shoyru is one of 10 Neopets whose animation on the "All the Neopets" page includes a sound effect.
* Shoyru's legs are based on the Pokemon Mew, though they look more like Charmander's.

[[Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|right|frame|The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.]]

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. The ball is actually a rolled up [[Petpet]] called a [[Yooyu]], a creature native to Altador. There are a variety of different Yooyus used in the game, which gives the sport an unpredictable twist, requiring a team to alter its strategy depending on the type of Yooyu currently in play.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu. Why this was done was released in a statement by [[Derlyn Fonnet]], explaining that the 'muscle and bone' density of the Kreludans was, due to a malfunctioning gravity generator, too low to safely play on Neopia. To the happiness of many fans, Kreludor returned for the 2008 tournament. However, Kiko Lake could not participate because of a travel issue. Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. While the members of the team are unknown, it's known the ''Goalkeeper'' is a Jelly [[Kougra]] and the forwards a Jelly [[Kau]] and [[Usul]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Users play the role of a Red [[Tuskaninny]] waitress at the Slushie Concession Stand, and must serve impatient fans (Red [[Nimmo]], Purple [[Tonu]], Yellow [[Ogrin]], etc.) their [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. Depending on what team the user joined, the Slushie Concession Stand would be the team's official slushie stand. Players would lose a life every time an empty slushie bottle falls to the floor or if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Assuming the role of the [[Techo Fanatic]], users must cheer as loud as they can by tapping two randomly chosen keys together, raising the sound meter, for as long as they can in 30 seconds, then (though this is not necessary) pressing the spacebar before the time runs out. Depending on what team the user joined, the Techo Fanatic would be seen wearing that teams shirt, and cheering for them.

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.

==Plot participation==
The gameplay is similar to Altador Cup II and III, where players choose and contribute points to their selected team. Players are not allowed to change their team after the registration period.

Altador Cup IV still uses the "double round robin" tournament play, introduced in Altador Cup II. Each team will play with the other fifteen teams twice, after which all teams will take part in the four days finals phase. The finals consist of a playoff match-up and a final match-up, each lasts for two days. The 16 teams will split into four groups according to their ranking. In the playoff match-up, the highest and lowest ranked teams for each group will play against each other, while the second and third ranked teams for each group play against each other. The two winning teams of each group will play against each other for the first place within their group, while the two losing teams fight for the third place.

Players can contribute points to their team by scoring goals in Yooyuball, and also by playing Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise, and Shootout Showdown. The results for all four games will be evaluated separately and contribute to the player's team overall standing in the tournament.

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. The ball is actually a rolled up [[Petpet]] called a [[Yooyu]], a creature native to Altador. There are a variety of different Yooyus used in the game, which gives the sport an unpredictable twist, requiring a team to alter its strategy depending on the type of Yooyu currently in play.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu. Why this was done was released in a statement by [[Derlyn Fonnet]], explaining that the 'muscle and bone' density of the Kreludans was, due to a malfunctioning gravity generator, too low to safely play on Neopia. To the happiness of many fans, Kreludor returned for the 2008 tournament. However, Kiko Lake could not participate because of a travel issue. Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. While the members of the team are unknown, it's known the ''Goalkeeper'' is a Jelly [[Kougra]] and the forwards a Jelly [[Kau]] and [[Usul]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Users play the role of a Red [[Tuskaninny]] waitress at the Slushie Concession Stand, and must serve impatient fans (Red [[Nimmo]], Purple [[Tonu]], Yellow [[Ogrin]], etc.) their [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. Depending on what team the user joined, the Slushie Concession Stand would be the team's official slushie stand. Players would lose a life every time an empty slushie bottle falls to the floor or if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Assuming the role of the [[Techo Fanatic]], users must cheer as loud as they can by tapping two randomly chosen keys together, raising the sound meter, for as long as they can in 30 seconds, then (though this is not necessary) pressing the spacebar before the time runs out. Depending on what team the user joined, the Techo Fanatic would be seen wearing that teams shirt, and cheering for them.
 

==Shootout Showdown==

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.

==Keep on topic==
do not use this disscusion board to talk about what team you are on, or how awesome they are. that is what a forum is for. this discussion page is used ONLY to help expand the main article. please don't do anything of the sorts which i mentioned. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:18, 4 Jun 2006 (CDT)

==Team Rosters/Image Links==
On the order of teams shown on the article, it should start with Altador and end with the Sapce Station, as Altador is listed as "team one" in the [http://neopets.com/altador/colosseum/teams.phtml?team=1 roster link]. Also, posting the links to all the current team images as refernce to what each player fully looked like.

If they do this again (the altador cup) next year, i'm pretty sure the same people won't be playing, so it would be good for someone to save the images perhaps.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:54, 9 Jun 2006 (CDT)

:I took the liberty and saved all the images of the full teams and staff members. as long as my computer doesn't crash, i have all the data for uploading if we should need it. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:53, 24 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::Will begin uploading all the team images to the database soon, due to computer work going on. If there are some missing, please let me know. Hopefully, when the wiki coding is updated here, we can add these effectivelty to the yooyuball sections of the world articles. For now...at least the data will be here. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:32, 20 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Winning Results (Cup + Staff)==
Adding the results from the tournament here. made into tables, will be decided if the will need to be used in the article later. colors can be added to these later to make them more readable and similar to the real tables on Neopets.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:12, 15 Jun 2006 (CDT)

==Redesign of team rosters==
to go along with the updating of the article before the release of the new Altador Cup this June (just in one month! :o), I thought it would be a good idea to move all the team data to each other their relating worlds. This would mean Meridell, Darigan Citadel and even Kiko Lake would have their own Yooyuball section. It would allow each article to speak of their own team dynamics, and keep them seperate from the whole of the Altador Cup. What do others think on this? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:40, 1 May 2007 (CDT)
:Sounds good to me. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 1 May 2007 (CDT)

=="Altador Cup 2006" goal complete?==
Is the ''Altador Cup 2006'' goal complete? I mentioned a goal on the [[NeoDex:Community Portal|Community portal]], and i wonder if the criteria is met (year 2006 information complete and article ready for 2007). Want verification before i take the goal down. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:08, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
:I'd say so. I can't think of anything else to add and the article seems pretty much complete. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 09:09, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

==Altador Cup 2007==
It seems that TNT have decided to change most of the [http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/teams.phtml team rosters] slightly. The group image is still the same and the player profiles haven't been updated yet, just the new pictures show up. It seems that all of the teams except [[Brightvale#Yooyuball_3|Brightvale]], [[Kreludor]], [[Tyrannia#Yooyuball|Tyrannia]], [[Mystery_Island#Yooyuball|Mystery Island]] have one new player as of this post. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:55, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

:Kreludor was taken off the listing, and [[Shenkuu]] joined. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 21:40, 1 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::That seems highly bizarre, because i saw that Kreludor had a new player like most of the other teams (when Dizzy mentioned the changes). Why did they change their mind about kreludor? That it wasn't an established team or world like the rest? *shrugs* Does anyone remember what type of Neopet the new Kreludor player was? I'm beginning to wish i saved the picture now... --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:18, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:::I don't know which one is new, but you could try going from ''<nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/head_shots/kreludor_1.gif</nowiki>'' to ''<nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/head_shots/kreludor_5.gif</nowiki>'' or the group picture [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/team_full/kreludor.gif]--13:47, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::::We wouldn't be able to add it to the NeoDex without knowing the Neopets proper name, but i can save the image of the new neopet if it's there as you mentioned...which means i haven't checked yet. ;) will be doing that now. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:12, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:::::Ok, I see. By the way *point to section below* the pictures of the rank badges go up to 20 as of now ([http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/badges/level20_150.gif]). Do we need to save them although we don't know the actual ranking titles? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 14:26, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>gives you a high five* good work on noticing that. :D Though i'm not sure how the titles are organized. I played 5 winning games of yooyuball, 3 slushie games, and 4 screamers (i'm sure you know the real titles)...but my rank didn't change. I don't think we will need to save all the badge images, but we will (or can at least try) to find all the accompaning rank titles for each badge, and how and when the ranks are received.

Some of those team images may be repeats of last years, but I tried to be exhaustive in that front. The miscellaneous images are just this years (I hope). We have a lot of work to do, this year. :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:27, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:I think it's important to note the team member headshots (virtupets_3.gif, 4, 5 as an example) aren't replaced with a new image link when a player is replaced. It's given the exact same image link, but a different image. It happened last year with [[Helmo Timm]] and with the new players this year as well (especially the team images...remember, i do still have the old team images ;) ). Mind you the image links are still noteworthy becauses that's where the images are linked, it's just not "safe" to image link the content when referencing something. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:38, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:Would be best not to forget the [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/signup_full.gif female "Help Me Decide"] quiz giver (shown differently [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/signup_part.gif here]), who is quoted saying...<blockquote>''A new recruit, eh?! The rather angry looking Quiggle looks you up and down. She finally addresses you, but that look on her face isn't the smile you were hoping for. "You're an athlete? If you say so." She quickly scratches something down on her clipboard before continuing. "You have two options. If you're having trouble choosing, I can administer the Altador Cup Quiz. All you have to do is answer some questions and I'll attempt to choose the best team for you based on your answers. Or, you can go directly to the Sign-up Station if you've already decided on a team. What'll it be? And hurry up. I don't have all day."''</blockquote>Seeing as the quiz is part of the sign up process, and i don't know much about it (nor is there much on it in the current article), I decided to take it. Questions below. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:58, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

But we knew that already, didn't we?" You're not sure why she's so negative all the time, but you are sure it's probably better that you don't ask. "Here's the team the quiz has chosen for you.

<blockquote>''"You don't have to sign up for this team, but the quiz is quite accurate, so you should think about it. If you want to join a different team, please head to the Sign-up Station to fill out the proper forms." She removes from the clipboard the piece of paper she's been scribbling on this whole time, crumples it up, and tosses it in the rubbish bin. "NEXT!!"''</blockquote>

How this will be added to the article will be decided at a later date. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:58, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:That really should be in the article! --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 12:16, 27 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::When we know how to add it to the article, it shall be done. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:48, 27 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::I just thought of something...perhaps the quiz merits its own page? I mean, nobody's figured out how to slip it into the Altador Cup page yet, so...worth a though? --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 22:13, 25 May 2008 (CDT)

== Splitting of article ==

It looks like this article is getting a little long like the Tale of Woe not so long ago, so it may need to be split into parts as well. This is a little more easier (maybe!?!), because we can make seperate altador cup articles for each year, detailing those events. The main Altador Cup article will stay, and the other articles will be "Altador Cup 2006", "Altador Cup 2007", etc. Sound alright? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:27, 3 Jun 2007 (CDT)
:Yup, sounds good to me. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 09:15, 4 Jun 2007 (CDT)
::I agree as well.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:02, 4 Jun 2007 (CDT)
:::And someday "Altador Cup 2008", right? --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 19:16, 26 Jul 2007 (UTC)
::::Yes! The time has come! Altador Cup 2008 is here! --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 02:00, 25 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Altador Cup 2009 Rumours==
These were added to the article by [[User:Alexdpny|Alexdpny]] but because they are rumours (I personally have never heard any of these) I feel they belong here for the moment. Perhaps Alexdpny can explain where these rumours come from... --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 23:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

*a new game for betting on who will win a match will be playable
*the lost desert team has had some fighting and might become a sakhmet and qasala team seperately
*a lutari island team might come to play.
*the practice team will become the jelly neopets again like in 2006 and even have names
*a neovia team might appear in the games.
*a geraptiku team might appear along with an expansion of geraptiku.
* if one plays on the winning team then they will get to face the neopets team as neopian central neopets for neocash and rare petpets and items.
*a new neopet will deput on the games and is egg be given to the top 10 points all together on all 4 games at the cup.
*a ghost, island, maraqua, pirate, desert, zombie, halloween, and tyrannian yooyu might appear.
*a new color called tiki will premiere that will be associated with geraptiku. It appears to be related to earlier designs of the island color.
*up to 18 or 20 teams will be playable.
*more neopets with the color zombie and tropical will be in the game.
*another new color called mummy will be released at the games and will have a link to qasala and the warriors on the lost desert plot.

== Shootout Showdown ==

Shouldn't Shootout Showdown be added? {{sign|75.24.176.249}}

:Yes, definitely. You are welcome to add it in. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I'll try. I'll just make the section cause I really am bad at putting info.

[[Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|right|frame|The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.]]

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. The ball is actually a rolled up [[Petpet]] called a [[Yooyu]], a creature native to Altador. There are a variety of different Yooyus used in the game, which gives the sport an unpredictable twist, requiring a team to alter its strategy depending on the type of Yooyu currently in play.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu. Why this was done was released in a statement by [[Derlyn Fonnet]], explaining that the 'muscle and bone' density of the Kreludans was, due to a malfunctioning gravity generator, too low to safely play on Neopia. To the happiness of many fans, Kreludor returned for the 2008 tournament. However, Kiko Lake could not participate because of a travel issue. Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. While the members of the team are unknown, it's known the ''Goalkeeper'' is a Jelly [[Kougra]] and the forwards a Jelly [[Kau]] and [[Usul]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Users play the role of a Red [[Tuskaninny]] waitress at the Slushie Concession Stand, and must serve impatient fans (Red [[Nimmo]], Purple [[Tonu]], Yellow [[Ogrin]], etc.) their [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. Depending on what team the user joined, the Slushie Concession Stand would be the team's official slushie stand. Players would lose a life every time an empty slushie bottle falls to the floor or if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Assuming the role of the [[Techo Fanatic]], users must cheer as loud as they can by tapping two randomly chosen keys together, raising the sound meter, for as long as they can in 30 seconds, then (though this is not necessary) pressing the spacebar before the time runs out. Depending on what team the user joined, the Techo Fanatic would be seen wearing that teams shirt, and cheering for them.
 

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

==Altador Cup Tournament items==

|}

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.
