Re: Operation PetPet Park

That was rather annoying... I opened several more portals before I figured out how to work the controls. (You click where you want the slider to go -- you don't grab and drag it.)

I think you can also get a hint about where to start by the frequency of the wave shown in the display. A high ...

Re: Free Cash at the NC Mall...but...

I got mine. Free NC, yay!

I wonder if we're allowed to collect on side accounts as well? I mean, the usual rule is "don't do anything that could earn NP" and getting free NC can't earn NP.

I think it's a good move. I had never really considered buying anything from the NC Mall until I won 150 NC ...

Re: New Inventory?

I used the Remove It Permanently add-on for Firefox to remove the bits I didn't like. It's great for cleaning useless or ugly crud off of Neo pages.

Woah! That ROCKS!

Unfortunately without the box there's no link to Quickstock. I think it's probably worth it to be rid of the box... but I wish ...

Re: New Inventory?

Well, my userContent.css file looks like this and I don't get any of the black "Advertisement" bars:

div[class="adBox sf"]{display: none !important;}
div[class="ad_wrapper_fixed"]{display: none !important;}
.neofriend{display:none !important;}
div#ban_spacer.show{display:none;}

Re: Key Quest.

So Neocash cards do exist, then? I've never seen them in my Target (not that I've seen anything in the NC Mall that makes me NEED to buy a card yet... although some of the trinkets are cute). What part of the store are they usually sold in?

I see that Target.com claims they are available at my ...

Re: Return of Dr Sloth [Split 5]

I know what I'm doing, now I just have to see if I can explain it. I'm on the 3 mods. First off I call the symbols what they look like to me, mushroom, x, c, etc... I look at the last symbol of my key and the last symbol of my target. Example: Mushroom and 8. Then I look at the charmander chart and ...

Re: Return of Dr Sloth [Split 5]

I haven't tried it but I suspect that if you can code it would probably still be faster to write a little loop trying all combinations of the possible codes than it is to solve the problem manually.

You'd still need to know what the combos equal to for that to work, if I'm right in my thinking ...

Re: Return of Dr Sloth [Split 5]

What confuses me is how TNT could possibly tell the difference between using the calculator program and writing your own. Or is using your own code to brute-force a solution against the rules, too? I can't imagine any possible grounds for claiming that would be cheating -- what's next, outlawing ...

Re: Return of Dr Sloth [Split 5]

As I said on the last thread, what I don't get is that this whole thing was completely forseeable and completely avoidable. When I went to bed last night I was certainly expecting there to be a solver program online by morning and based on comments here and on other Neopets forums, I know I'm far ...

Re: The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

That's why it never occured to me that the calculator might not be OK to use. There's always been tons of "cheat" info available for plots -- many on people's petpages, in fact -- and TNT has never seemed to object to this in the past. In fact, I assume that's one of the reasons they have moved ...

Re: The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

Has TNT posted this on the page with the puzzle, or only on the boards?

They SHOULD post it on the actual page, not just on a Neoboard which many users don't read (and many people with an under-13 account CAN'T read).

Re: The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

I think a better solution than freezing would be to disqualify people who used the generator from participating in the rest of the plot, personally.

Well, that's kind of unfair for people who didn't know it was cheating. Wouldn't it make more sense to just not award them points for this part of ...

Re: The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

I will also be very upset if frozen for using the calculator (or for sending the guy a codestone as a thank-you present). TNT has no business freezing people for an offense without announcing publicly that you're not supposed to do it, first. Freezing should be for punishing wrongdoers, not for ...

Re: Update on Morphing Potions debacle

In my mind it's absurd. How were morphing potions making Draiks too easy to get? It aready cost millions of NP to get a Draik before this happens. That's hardly easy to get. The reason a lot of people have Draiks isn't because Draiks are easy to get, it's because a lot of people like Draiks and are ...

Re: Neopets Advent Calendar 2007

I was hoping at least one of them would be both wearable AND furniture, like the ice garland and the Ficus Tree are, and was disappointed that neither of them do anything. :-(
