[[Image:Techo red baby.gif|frame|right|Red Techo as of June 19, 2006.]]

The '''Techo''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gecko|gecko]]-like [[Neopet (species)|Neopet]] created on June 7, 2000.

==Overview==
Techos are rarely unhappy, and enjoy looking on the bright side of life and having a good laugh. They are very agile and blessed with exceptional acrobatic skills. Wanting to be the centre of attention, Techos enjoy making other Neopets laugh by performing acrobatic stunts and telling jokes. Fun loving and comical, Techos are said to be perfect for users with a wicked sense of humour.

==Colours==
As of May 2007, the Techo can be seen in 37 different [[Rainbow Pool|colour]]s. There is some confusion with the ''Cloud'' colour, as it's stated to have been released on September 9, 2001, but then on the 13th four days later. This might have been a [[Paint Brush]] error, and not have been activated until the 13th.

"Dasher" Soley

2007-07-18T21:59:06Z

Techocave3: /* Triva */

[[Image:Dasher Soley 2006.gif|right]]

'''"Dasher" Soley''' is a [[Pirate]] [[Krawk]], and ''Right Forward'' and ''Team Captain'' for [[Krawk Island]]'s [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team of 2006 and 2007. Known as "Dasher" or "Ol' Dash" by the team's most loyal fans, Soley has been with the Krawk Island team for as long as anyone can remember. In all those years, however, the team has never been able to win a championship. "Dasher" Soley is an experienced leader and scorer, yet lacks speed and stamina, possibly due to his age.

==Triva==
*"Dasher" Soley was nominated for the ''All-Stars - Forwards'' award in the 2006 games.
*On May 24, 2007 "Dasher" Soley was featured in [[Better Than You]] scoring 14500 in [[Crisis Courier]]. Prize was ''The Yooyu''. Quoted saying...<blockquote>''If a [[Yooyu]] is involved in a game, you can bet I'm going to master it! This was a piece of cake for me. I figured I'd give my fans a shot at trying to beat my score, though. If through some stroke of luck you do, I'll give you this book I've been reading.''</blockquote>

My account exists since 4 months. is that the reason why I can't get in the tower? or do you have to find a key or something like that to get in the tower. Please answer to make this encyclopedia more complete --unsigned by 84.81.147.251 16:22, 12 Dec 2005

:I believe it has to do with preventing users from cheating or something like that. A new account could recieve immediate help from another, and deliberatly trick other users into thinking they can't afford such items, and overpower users in the battledome.

The Tale of Woe

2007-07-13T00:53:57Z

Techocave3: /* Seeking the Spirit's name */

[[Image:TOW Gypsy Camp1.gif|frame|right|The Elephante Gypsy.]]
'''The Tale of Woe''' is a [[plot]] based in the [[Haunted Woods]] and entails the release of [[Neovia]]. It began on October 2, 2006, and finishing November 20, 2006 (designed to coincide with [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]]). The plot follows the travels of [[Gilly]], who first appeared as the star of [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]].

==Plot summary==
===The gypsy camp===
[[Image:TOW launch06.gif|frame|right|Gilly at the Gypsy Camp.]]
Deep within the Haunted Woods users happen upon a [[Gypsy Camp]], where a Pink [[Elephante]] greets and warns them of the dangers of the woods - "[...] Trees and creatures roam the night, and they can swallow the unwary. It's no accident that so many legends and myths surround this place [...]" - and reads the user a story of [[Gilly]], when she visited the Camp and heard the story of Neovia...

===The Legend of Neovia===
The Elephante began his tale of a family of [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]], and their three children: sons [[Bruno]] and [[Reginald]], and daughter [[Sophie]] (who the Elephante avoids mentioning until his story is almost over). They lived in [[Neovia]], and had many troubles. Bruno sought the affection of [[Lily]], but lacked the charm and strength to court her, and was not helped in his attempts by [[Oscar]], Lily's current protective companion.

After Oscar hit Bruno for talking to Lilly, Bruno resigned to his fate but stumbled upon [[Mr. Krawley]], who offered him a potion which would make all his troubles go away for only a few [[Neopoints]]. After drinking the potion, the very next day he was handsome, strong and much more presentable to Lily.

Edmund claimed Bruno was foolish to take such an action, complaining that one must work for success. However, when he was offered the potion by [[Mr. Krawley]], he reluctantly took it to resolve the family's financial hardship. Like Bruno, the elixir worked and he became rich within the next few days. With the testimonials of Bruno and his father, word of the potions spread quickly. When Reginald took a potion as well, increasing his intelligence and knowledge, the popularity of the elixir was assured. Before long, everyone was taking the potions to have their wishes - such things as height, beauty and youth - granted with a single swig, and only the innocent, such as [[Sophie]], refrained from drinking the potion.

[[Image:TOW prologue2.gif|frame|left|[[Mayor Thumburt]] and the rioters.]]
The potion seemed to give everyone in Neovia happiness... but as the days passed, the effects of the potion continued to make their wishes more twisted. Edmund became suspicious of everyone, carefully guarding over his fortune. Bruno became a muscular, deformed monster. Reginald became lonely, seeking refuge in his books when people couldn't stand to talk to him and his great intellect. Curses like this spread to everyone who drank the potion, and the angry town joined together and searched for [[Mr. Krawley]], only to find he had disappeared. They then decided to put the blame on the family which advertised the elixir, and attacked Edmund's home.

Bruno ran outside to distract the villagers while Reginald and Sophie sneaked out the back and ran for the woods. In the forest, they encountered [[Ilere]], who said Sophie had no where else to go but in her care. Reginald refused such an action, but relented when Sophie went of her own free will, saying she felt safe with Ilere. Returning back to Neovia, Reginald saw Bruno being chased into the woods outside of town, and escorted his parents to an abandoned mansion on the other side of town, used in the past for games of hide-and-seek.

Bruno lost those chasing him in the forest, and when the towns people returned they attacked, determined for retribution. Suddenly, [[Mayor Thumburt]] stopped them all and said they must be cured before bring justice to those responsible. The Neovians summon [[The Spirit of Slumber]], who cures them with magic, but at a terrible price...

===The ruins of Neovia===
[[Image:Tow locket1.gif|frame|The locket that was found in the ghost town.]]
The story ends and Gilly goes to sleep, and after a night's rest she sets out into the woods and stumbles upon Neovia itself. The small town is in ruins, but after looking through a burnt wreck of a house she found a strange silver locket hidden, with the picture inside decayed beyond recognition.

Gilly headed to the [[Deserted Fairground]] and took the locket to [[Lyanka]], of the [[Cork Gun Gallery]]; [[Leeroy]], of the [[Coconut Shy]]; [[Harker]], of the [[Bagatelle]] stall; and [[Ssidney]], of [[Ssidney's Scratch Cards]]. None of them knew who the owner was, although some seemed impressed with the metalwork and one mentioned they were quite popular a long time ago. Heading back to Neovia for more information, she discovers a path leading to a hut in the swampy part of the woods.

[[Image:Sophies shack.gif|frame|left|Sophie's Shack.]]
At the hut, Gilly met the adult Sophie, who snatched the locket and shouted for the Usul to leave and not to disturb her. Gilly ran off through the rain and took shelter in a cave. Inside, amongst strange, old artifacts, she was stalked by a dark creature. By arranging a mirror, a broken lamp post, and a chair around a pile of food for bait, Gilly managed to get the monster to eat some of the food, leap back from its own reflection, and stumble across the lamp post and into the chair, where it banged its head and fell into the moonlight, revealing itself to be the horribly disfigured Bruno.

Taking pity on Bruno for her actions, even though he was trying to scare her, Gilly approached him, only to be chased outside of the cave. Gilly ran all the way back to Sophie's hut, asking to be let in from the chasing Bruno, and Sophie answered the door angrily, but calmed into shock when she saw Bruno was alive. Exposition ensues as they related their stories: Bruno hid in a cave from the townspeople deep in the Haunted Woods, never daring to return to Neovia. Sophie went with Ilere to her now current home and was only given a chest which Ilere said contained all she needed to survive, and left her.

A few days after Sophie settled into the hut, she returned to Neovia only to find deserted buildings. Sophie returned several times in the weeks that followed, but there was no sign of what had happened to the residents until [[Halloween]] night, when she saw ghostly apparitions of the inhabitants living their lives. Sophie noticed the Neovian's faces were without emotion, working and moving in silence, and when she touched one of them, her hand went straight through the Neovian. Sophie concluded they were not physically there, and returned to her hut to work on a cure. The next day, however, the town was once again deserted. For ten years, Sophie revealed, she had been working to cure the Neovians on Halloween night, and had little else left to try.

Gilly, almost forgotten in the exchange, remembered the Gypsy Elephante's story and explained the Spirit of Slumber's involvement, realizing this must be the "terrible price" mentioned in the story - while the spirit restored them to their forms before their use of Mr Krawley's potion, they would be unable to enjoy their restoration. Sophie was sceptical it would help, but decides to ask Ilere for information. She was reluctant to bring Gilly along, but relents when Bruno asks her to come, providing Gilly doesn't get in the way (to which Gilly finished Sophie's spoken request before her).

===Seeking the Spirit===
[[Image:Ileres tree.gif|frame|right|Ilere's residence, deep in the Haunted Woods.]]
Travelling deep into the Haunted Woods, the trio finally found Ilere's home after opening the gateway with the aid of [[Ghost]] [[Meepit]]s. Sophie began to explain to Ilere the curse placed on Neovia, and was interrupted by an excited Gilly about the Spirit of Slumber and how they wanted him to reverse the spell on them. Ilere called them mad and said the spirit of Slumber was far too powerful, and told them to leave before they got hurt. Bruno then attacked Ilere in a rage, and while she defended herself with her magic Bruno got the upper hand. Before anything more developed, Sophie threw Ilere and Bruno apart with her magic.

When Sophie asked why Bruno attacked Ilere, he explained he could feel Ilere's great power, yet she did nothing to help Sophie during the years, help save Neovia ten years ago, and refused to even help now. Caught in a magical spell by Sophie, Ilere acknowledged who powerful she had become, and when prompted by Sophie told her the Spirit of Slumber was an ancient spirit of a Neopet who had died long ago, before she ever came to the Haunted Woods. She then said there were others in the Haunted Woods who would know more about the spirit than her. As the trio turned to leave, Ilere said to Sophie, "For your own sake, I hope you fail."

|}
As Bruno complained about Ilere's lack of help, Gilly began to suggest they see the [[Brain Tree]], who was one of the oldest residents of the Haunted Woods, to which Sophie immediately refused because she had a bad experience with it. Gilly began to drag her along, saying it wouldn't be so bad, to which Sophie blasted Gilly with her magic. Bruno scolded her, saying Gilly was only a little girl, and the Brain Tree may have the information they needed. Still feeling grumpy, Sophie apologized and went to the Brain Tree with them.

Upon asking, the Brain Tree said he would give the Spirit of Slumber's name if they told it when he died. Gilly immediately set off to see [[The Esophagor]] for the answer, and Sophie began to say how she had a bad experience with him as well, but stopped when Bruno and Gilly looked at her. When they came to the Esophagor, the Esophagor said he could only tell them when someone died, and the Spirit of Slumber never did. He said he would give the date if the trio could give him the Spirit's real name.

This angered Gilly, as it created a paradox: they needed the Spirit's name to know the date of his death, and the date to get his name. Sophie, however, said she could identify the remains of the Spirit of Slumber's if she used a special potion, finding his name on his gravestone. When Gilly asked how they would find the Spirit's grave, Sophie said they would dig up every grave in the Haunted Woods, to which Bruno and Gilly gulped in fear at the thought.

===Seeking the Spirit's name===
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter2_d83kdw3e32.gif
|}
The three heroes arrived at [[The Foreman|The Caretaker]]'s Shack to find his indices had been stolen by an unknown thief. Without them they could not find and search all the graves of the Haunted Woods, so they searched for them and eventually found them in a maze (corresponding to the plot action in [[Fetch!]]), and had The Caretaker guide them through the gravesites.

Bruno dug up the graves while Gilly helped Sophie create and use potions on the bones unearthed one by one, until one of the bones tested glows, signifying if was of the Spirit of Slumber. Sophie excitedly asked which grave it came from, and Gilly pointed to a broken headstone which bore no name, to which Sophie cried out in frustration. Without much enthusiasm, they all realized the needed to go back to every single gravestone, marking off the legible names they found on the gravestones from the indices and have only one remaining name, it being the Spirit of Slumber's. Upon returning to the Caretaker's Shack however, he was furious they had dug up all the graves of the Haunted Woods and taken his indices, and chased them out. Realizing they needed to move more quietly through the graveyards because of the furious Caretaker, they set out writing off each name from the indices one by one.

{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter7_2s9jsj83.gif
|}
They eventually found the name ''Jubart Igig'' and they all returned to Sophie's shack where she read up on a ways to summon the Spirit of Slumber. After reading the proper spell, Sophie slammed the book and said it wouldn't work, explaining the only way to summon the Spirit of Slumber was for someone to drink it a special potion and allow him to inhabit their body. Bruno volunteered, to which Sophie objected, saying she didn't want to lose him again. But Bruno reasoned with her, pointing out Gilly was too small and she was needed to create the potion, making him the only choice to bring their family back.

Sophie began making potions, two of which Bruno drank and became really hairy and shrunk in size, but upon drinking the third potion, he dropped the flask to the floor and a sinister gaze was fixed upon his face, signifying he was possessed by the Spirit of Slumber. When asked why he was summoned, Sophie asked him to reverse the spell he placed on Neovia, to which he smiled and agreed.

Sophie and Gilly followed the possessed Bruno back to Neovia. Along the way, Sophie reassured Gilly [[werelupe]]s weren't normally seen in the woods around Neovia, while Ginny reassured Sophie the town and her family would be cured as Sophie looked at the charred remains of the locket her mother gave her.

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter8_fo3wds43ls.gif
|}
the Spirit of Slumber led them to Neovia's town square, and he raised his hands and said, "Let the spell be undone!" In an instant, the inhabitants of Neovia and Sophie’s family were restored to material form as Bruno fell unconscious. As Sophie tried to wake Bruno saying their family was cured, Gilly was trying to get her attention as she stared at the Neovians. Annoyed, Sophie turned around and watched in horror as the Neovians began to transform, realizing the Spirit of Slumber only reversed his spell and not the potion. They returned to their cursed forms and mutated even more monstrous, including her mother, father and brother. Sophie ran in horror at the sight, and Gilly and Bruno tried to chase after her, but were surrounded by the mutated Neovians.

===Into the fray===
Mayor Thumburt pointed to Gilly and Bruno, saying they were to blame for the way they were now, and the Neovians attacks. Bruno scanned the angry crowd and saw lurking at the edge Mr. Krawley. He began to run away after he was noticed, and Bruno urged Gilly to chase after him as he fought back the crowd. Gilly ran after Mr. Krawley into a graveyard, whose gravestones turned to life and attacked her. Grabbing a nearby shovel (perhaps left by a gravedigger), Gilly defeated all the gravestones, after which Mr. Krawley used his magic to bring the surrounding trees to life, which Gilly needed to defeat as well before continuing her chase of him.

{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter10_di239dksi3.gif
|}
Chasing Mr. Krawley to the front of '''Meepit Oaks''', Gilly confronted him and he revealed himself as Mr. Krawley for the first time, but said it was not him she needed, but what was inside the asylum. Calling him a liar, Krawley said he led her there for a reason. Just then, Zombie Neopets moaning for brains walked into the courtyard, blocking escape. Krawley said she needed to make a decision, as the way out was closing, and Gilly hesitantly walked inside.

Meanwhile, Bruno fought against the crowd of Neovians being herded by Mayor Thumburt, and hid in a cellar when the danger became too great. From the safety of the cellar, he saw his parents cursing him, and mourned at the fact he couldn't help them.

Sophie ran all the way back to her shack, and on the inside finally collected herself and began to make a potion to cure Neovia, which she tested on her [[Meowclops]] who went through many side effects before becoming a safe potion. After completing the concoction she left for Neovia but couldn't help thinking there was something still missing.

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter13_ew832isu3i.gif
|}
Back at Meepit Oaks, Gilly walked through the corridors of the vacant asylum and fought off zombies and pieced together the mystery of what happened there, eventually finding an unwilted, glowing purple flower in a jail cell containing a long dead nurse named [[Lucy]]. Taking the flower and sneaking past the zombies on the outside, Gilly ran into Sophie who saw the flower and realized it was the final ingredient of the potion. Placing the flower in the potion, they set off to pour the contents into the well of Neovia.

{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/towchapter15_so329s3lk2.gif
|}
At Neovia, the residents were waiting for her, but she blasted away all of them except Mayor Thumburt, who told her to go home and pretend nothing happened, sparing herself the heartache she would feel if the cure failed. Saying she would take her chances, she blasted the Mayor with her magic, who easily deflected it and hit her to the ground. Bruno pounced upon Mayor Thumburt and pulled him off her, realizing he was much stronger than he appeared. All three of them gathered together and fought against Mayor Thumburt, who began to mutate and become more powerful, until he was turned into a [[Moquot]] by Sophie.

With the Mayor finally defeated, Sophie urged Bruno to drink the potion, who instead told her to pour the contents into the well to cure Neovia. Returning the next day after all the residents had a drink from the well, they were greeted warmly by everyone, including Sophie and Bruno's family. Returning to the well, Bruno quickly drank from its waters, only to realize he was cursed too long. This didn't bother him, however, as he was used to his form now. Edmund rejoiced in having the family together again, but Sophie said she didn't feel home in Neovia anymore, and was used to being alone. As she bid them goodbye, Gilly saw Mr. Krawley smiling as he watched from a dark alley, who then disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.

===The end===
With the Tale of Woe finished, the Pink Elephante bid the children who were listening good night, and said it was best not to wander into the woods after dark, as you never knew what would swallow the unwary. Later, when users and their Neopets came to visit the Elephante again, they find he had disappeared, and when they asked a Red [[Wocky]] gypsy where the Elephante who told The Tale of Woe was, she said there was never an Elephante part of their camp.

==Plot participation==
Plot participation put the user in the role of the lead characters of the plot, helping them in certain situations as the plot progressed.

On the January 4, 2007, The Neopets Team released the [http://neopets.com/halloween/hwp/stats.phtml user statistics] page which marked each step of the plot the user had completed. Additionally, the statistics for the user's fights in the Battledome opponents were included along with minor trophies and ranks associated with other tasks during the plot.

At the same time, the official plot solution was released.

Overall plot points were not given until March 2, 2007, when a new trophy for a [[User Lookup]] was given showing the total number of points given based on the overall participation in the plot. [http://neopets.com/halloween/hwp/shack.phtml Visiting Sophie's Shack] awarded the user with the Tale of Woe [[sidebar]] theme and the ''Tale of Woe - Krawley'' [[avatar]], providing the user had participated in the plot.

Additionally, a selection of 32 prizes was provided for users to 'purchase' with their plot points. 'Spending' the points did not result in the player using the points that had earned them their rank. Most of the plot prizes were references to the activities of or user responses to the plot.

==Trivia==
*An [[Aisha]] resembling [[Megan]] can be seen in images of the Gypsy camp.
*The plot appears to be based off the [[Wikipedia:Something Wicked This Way Comes (novel)|book]]/[[Wikipedia:Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983 film)|movie]] '''Something Wicked This Way Comes'''.
*When part 3 of the plot was released on October 13, 2006, the new section of the plot came upon many database issues, requiring [[The Neopets Team]] to move the database, replacing all pages relating to the plot with the following texts (as the errors were happening more than once)
**'''TEMPORARY DB MOVE - WILL BE BACK SHORTLY'''
**'''MORE DATABASE ISSUES -- GEEZ THERE'S A LOT OF YOU GUYS -- DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH'''
*Sophie's saying of how she had a "bad experience" with the Brain Tree and Esophagor probably refers to the Brain Tree Quest, which a user must complete tasks for the Esophagor to fulfil the Brain Tree's request. The rewards for completing the quest are almost always lower in value than the cost it is to complete them, which is probably why Sophie is upset about them.
*On October 23, 2006 around 6:25 NST, the following message appeared when any user tried to access the graveyards or any other related pages along with an [http://images.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/graveyard/femur_glow_edbd8280f3.gif image of a glowing bone]...<blockquote>''heavenest found the Spirit of Slumber's bones!'' ''The bones glow with an unearthly silver light.''</blockquote>It is currently believed the user ''heavenest'' found the bones, and as such there is no reason to continue searching graves. About 1 hour after this, users who roamed around the Haunted Woods received the following [[Random Event]]s, with different [[Ghost]] [[Neopets]]:
{|align=center width="450" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"
|-style="background:orange"
!colspan=2| Something has haunted!
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/pets/angry/koi_ghost_baby.gif || '''BOO!''' Uh oh! It looks like all that digging up of graves has disturbed some of the more... eerie denizens of the Haunted Woods. A peace offering would be nice... or perhaps you should just RUN!!
|}
It's unknown what will come from this, and what the ghosts of the defiled graves will do in the Haunted Woods.
*There are considerable differences between the plot's information and the flavor text of the Haunted Woods Expansion Set for the Neopets TCG; while characters, names and settings remain constant, the "plague" mentioned on the card, "Curing the Plague" (which depicts a slightly-altered Spirit of Slumber, who appears to be a mutant Lupe with an earring) is nowhere to be found. Likewise, Ilere is a Villain in the TCG, but a reluctant aide in the plot. Also most notable is the lack of a TCG card of Gilly.
*The Caretaker in the plot bears a resemblance to [[The Foreman]] of the [[Lost Desert Plot]] and [[Altador Plot]], the difference being The Caretaker is a blue Yurble, while the The Foreman is an Orange Yurble.
*Upon the closing of the name-finding activity, a dialogue appeared at the Caretaker's Shack in which Gilly revealed the name to Sophie: Jubart Igig. "Doesn't sound like most of the other names we found. Maybe it's an anagram of something...Nah." This is an inside joke reference to the game [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]] which Gilly originated from.
*The user [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=marina_87 marina_87] is credited to defeating the 3rd form of Mayor Thumburt, receiving 100,076 points to her battle score.
*Neopets like the [[Gnorbu]] and [[Bori]] are part of the inhabitants of Neovia, even though these Neopets weren't released until a few years ago.

Techocave3: /* Reappearance? */

==Reappearance?==
Is the Caretaker in the new Haunted Woods plot a brother of this grumpy yurble dude or something? Honestly, he gets angry just as easily =P

also, when does he show up as a cook? -- _skippypeanutbutter_ aka Robin --Unsigned by 128.2.172.71, 04:02, 19 Oct 2006
:I do believe the caretaker is a relative the Foreman/Chef/Janitor, and the "Angry Yurble" has become a stable in the plots thus far. i'm curious to see how long Neopets will be doing it. will be laughing every time it occurs. :D And the Foreman appeared as a chef when the book repository of the Lost desert Plot was filled out with all furniture and books, as he didn't have a job as a Foreman anymore, and decided to take up cooking. at least this is what i recall. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:10, 19 Oct 2006 (CDT)

He did appear in Neoquest 3D and was that him in the meetingroom in the lost isle plot?

==Proper name?==
In a recent better than you, the foreman has been called "Yurble Foreman". I think it would be a good idea to move the article to that title. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:14, 14 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:after updating the trivia, i realized the foreman was called differently in the past as well (Yurble Janitor). of course, he was a foreman first and foremost, so that part will stay. it just makes this characters names all the more confusing. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:25, 13 Jun 2007 (CDT)

[[Image:Jeran.gif|right]][[Lisha]]'s older brother, '''Jeran''' is widely considered the greatest knight in the kingdom of [[Meridell]]. He appeared in the past of Meridell while playing hide and seek with his younger sister. When his sister arrived in the past years later during [[Champions of Meridell]], he had grown into a full adult. After the first war between Darigan and Meridell, Jeran continued to serve [[King Skarl]] and lived in peace with his long lost sister.

:''Main Article: [[Battle for Meridell]]''

In [[Battle for Meridell]], Jeran was sent to the front lines when [[Lord Kass]] attacked, and was quickly overrun when King Skarl didn't supply him with reinforcments. When he returned to the castle, he organized an aerial assault against Kass directly. Upon Darigan citedal, Jeran was thrown off the cliff when he defended [[Morris]] and [[Count Boris]] from Kass, who secretly followed him on the attack. He was saved by [[Psellia]] after falling from the Citadel.

:''Main Article: [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]''

Despite the fact almost all of the events in [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]] took place within Meridell, Jeran never made an appearance. One of the only references to him in the video came came from [[Tormund]] who wore a mask and pretended to be him while he played with his sister.

Some tales say that he was driven mad by his long, lonely days of drifting, while others insist that he was cursed when he landed on a mysterious island, a place he often raved about in his crazed ramblings. The only records of his travels lay in his journal, which has now fallen into the capable hands of Professor Hugo Fairweather, archeolinguist and expert of ancient lore. Only time will show what he can make of it...''</blockquote>...and found on the "puzzle" page...<blockquote>''Because of their quick departure, Captain Rourke hasn't had time to tidy up around the SS Primella yet.

Did we say timid? We meant brave. Right.''</blockquote>and Current event text chapter 2...<blockquote>''Who would have guessed that our brave explorers would travel all the way to a mysterious isle just to get eaten by a giant monster?

from the [http://neopets.com/mip/mstcode.phtml Mysterious Stone Temple]...<blockquote>'' In order to enter this strange structure, you must enter the correct keycode using the key rings. Fortunately, the lock comes with a handy prompt system of flashing lights that lets you know how close your guess is. In the interest of maintaining high security, the keycode is reset if it is not guessed correctly after a number of tries. At that point, the rings return to the neutral position, and you must start over. Simply click on a ring to move the next symbol into the red code position. To move a ring backward, hold SHIFT or CNTRL while clicking on a ring. Once you have all the rings in the position you like, click the red button in the center of the lock. For each symbol that is correct in the code you entered, one of the lights in the middle will light up. A yellow light indicates that a symbol in the keycode you've entered is part of the correct code, but not in the correct position. A green light indicates that a symbol in the code you entered is the correct symbol, as well as in the correct position. NOTE: There is no correlation between the position of the lights and the position of the rings. The lights only tell you how many symbols you have correct. They do NOT tell you where they are.

:At the moment, it can be assumed ''this part''' is over, because we don't know if they will simply call the plot the same thing when they return, or continue off with their comics where they left off. It may be an entirely different plot. The edits to signify this can be made later if that is the case. However, for the moment, it's considered over for now. It can be written in the trivia that TNT intends to have the team return to the island for future exploration for now. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:27, 10 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Altador Cup 2007

2007-07-10T19:36:39Z

Techocave3:

{{currentevent}}

[[Image:Ctp 851.gif|right|frame|The coveted Altador Cup.]]

:''This article is about the plot details of the Altador Cup in 2007. For information about Yooyuball, see [[Altador Cup]]. For the plot details of 2006, see [[Altador Cup 2006]].''

'''Altador Cup 2007''' was a gaming [[plot]] which began on June 1, 2007, and was the second installation of the [[Altador Cup]]. The winner was the [[Darigan Citidel]]

==Plot summary==
[[Image:Shenkuu team.gif|right|frame|Team Shenkuu were new comers to the competition, Shenkuu having been discovered between the [[Altador Cup 2006|first]] and the second Altador Cups.]]

With the return of Altador Cup in 2007, the previous years finalists (the [[Haunted Woods]] and [[Darigan Citadel]]) returned with key changes to their rosters, which they felt would vault them into being odds-on favourites to take the Cup. Darigan benched goalkeeper [[Mungo Lifler]] and brought in [[Reshar Collifey]], while the Haunted Woods hired defender [[Autrey Fulse]]. Whether these changes would give the teams the edge they needed or backfire horribly would remain to be seen.

Changes occurred in the line ups of many of the other teams, also, due to free-agent signings and the arrival of new rookies. An entirely new Yooyuball team, from [[Shenkuu]], participated for the first time in 2007. The sport itself underwent some alterations, with three new kinds of Yooyuball to be brought into play for the first time - Normal, Clockwork, and Darigan - to make games more varied.

Furthermore, two additional ways for users to aid their team were added, ''Make Some Noise'' and ''Slushie Slinger'', new to this years competition.

[[Kreludor]]'s team, conspicuous by its absence, sent out a press release on the 8 June justifying why they could not compete this year. [[Derlyn Fonnet]] dispelled the rumours surrounding their mysterious non-involvement, citing an incorrectly set gravity control of their training ground. The insufficient bone and muscle density would have proved a health and safety problem were the team to play on Neopia's greater gravity, although whether this was an innocent fault or an act of vandalism to sabotage the team's chances could not be determined. The full press release reads as follows:

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 02.gif|left|frame|Derlyn Fonnet hoped to return the following year.]]

<blockquote>''"As you may have noticed by now, Team Kreludor is not one of the participants in this year's Altador Cup. This is due to a malfunction with our training centre's gravity control that went unnoticed; it seems that we have spent the better part of this past year training in gravity that is weaker than that of Neopia. For this reason, it would not be safe for us to compete, due to insufficient bone and muscle density. Rest assured that the problem has been fixed. It is not known, however, whether the incident was a case of simple mechanical failure or the result of sabotage by disgruntled factions here on Kreludor. We will continue our training in hopes of returning to form next year, but I'm afraid it would be impossible for us to participate in this year's tournament. We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us in the past and all of our fans both on Kreludor and in Neopia. Thank you."''</blockquote>

Whether or not they will be able to return for the next tournament is unclear, as, with Shenkuu competing, there would be an uneven number of teams.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 03.gif|right|frame|[[Garven Hale]], considered to be one of the best Goalkeepers, couldn't keep up with Darigan Citadel.]]

One of the most widely anticipated matches occurred on the 11th June, where Krawk Island - at the time the overall tournament leader, undefeated in Yooyuball - was pitted against Darigan Citadel. Darigan Citadel - [[Altador Cup 2006|the previous year]]'s runner up - through heavy offensive tactics managed to slip several goals past Krawk Island's [[Garven Hale]]. His team mates managed to level the score thanks to Krawk Island's distinctive, creative use of passing and offence, but Darigan Citadel managed to secure victory in the closing moments of the game.

It was not a total victory, however: while their play on the field was certainly formidable, winning all but one of their seven match ups to this point, Darigan Citadel were let down in the tournament's side competitions. Krawk Island supporters slung more slushies and raised a louder racket than their counterparts, and the team reportedly eagerly awaited their next opportunity to avenge their loss against the Citadel.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 04.gif|left|frame|Brightvale vs. Virtupets was a fierce game.]]

While not as high-profile a match as some of the more anticipated games, the clash between Brightvale and Virtupets Space Station on June 14 attracted many viewers. Both sides were evenly matched, and the Yooyuball pitch rapidly locked into a stalemate. Brightvale's performance was no longer clean (not a surprise considering their past), and was aggressive enough to wear away at Virtupets' defence, but elaborate offensive plays by the later repeatedly flustered Brightvale into leaving themselves open.

The score rarely shifted, goals were few, right up to the middle of the game. Past the middle of the engagement, Brightvale began to ease ahead, with Virtupets' team tiring and making more mistakes - enough to leave themselves open to Brightvale's offence. [[Keetra Deile]] managed to lead Virtupets into keeping the match close, but it was a struggle and the Space Station's own offence faltered. The auxiliary competitions were far less competitive, with Brightvale's followers holding a decided advantage in slushie serving and noise making throughout the day, giving them an across-the-board win.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 05.gif|right|frame|Mystery Island gets a new player.]]

In the match between Mystery Island and Meridell on June 19, with [[Sir Pollonaire Freidl]] being rapidly overcome by Mystery Island's forward offence. Right from the very early stages of the game, Mystery Island gained an insurmountable lead. The game was more notable, however, by the injury of [[Maital Koric]], Mystery Island's lone defender. He requested time off from team practices to rest a nagging injury, but this information was ignored as he was kept in the game, and halfway through the match staggered to the ground, gripping his leg in pain.

Helped off the field and sent to the nearest medical facility, he was replaced by untested substitute [[Vela Binal]]. After preliminary testing, it was found Maital Koric's injuries were so severe he would miss the rest of the tournament, requiring Vela Binal to carry them through the competition.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 06.gif|left|frame|By the second part of the round-robin, four teams seemed to be able to make it to the finals.]]

By the time the tournament reached halfway in the Round Robin, four teams - [[Roo Island]], [[Darigan Citadel]], [[Krawk Island]], and [[Lost Desert]] - seemed to be almost guarenteed their places in the finals. Roo Island laid their success at the feet of [[Lilo Blumario]] and [[Jair Tollet]], who helped rejuvenate their otherwise disorganised team. Having reached the halfway point with not a single loss in Yooyuball - fifteen wins and two draws - they entered the second phase of the championship with high hopes.

The favourite to win remained Darigan Citadel, and Krawk Island's defence - remarked by many as being nearly impenetrable - helped the pirates leave the competition behind and join the top four. The Lost Desert's well-rounded team entered the leader board thanks in large part to the success they had in the tournaments side competitions, but Mystery Island was very close behind, despite the injury of their experienced defender. Kiko Lake, Virtupets, and Faerieland seemed to be trailing at the very end of the score board, but fans hoped that with a redoubling of their efforts they may begin to progress further.

[[Image:Kiko-maraqua.gif|right|frame|Despite their great efforts, Kiko Lake lost greatly to Maraqua.]]

Urged on by the half-way point's passing, the energy of Kiko Lake in their match against Maraqua on June 25 was evident. Having only won one of the twenty Yooyuball matches until that point, Kiko Lake was determined to try and win. Their enthusiasm could not quite match Maraqua's strong defence, and the trio of defenders managed to hold the majority of their attempts at bay. Most of the few that got past were almost immediately blocked by Maraqua's [[Tonie Plessix]], and while he was not the most perfect goalkeeper in the tournament, Maraqua's defence overall managed to dent Kiko Lake's enthusiasm.

As Kiko Lake became more and more frustrated in their offensive efforts, [[Elon Hughlis]], Maraquan forward, managed to beat the Kiko Lake's own defence and pulled Maraqua into a good lead to win the game. Somewhat dampened by their team's performance, fan enthusiasm for Kiko Lake was not enough to come overcome Maraquans' cheering, and the Kiko Lake supporters were unable to serve more slushies than Maraqua, allowing them to win both side competitions, adding another loss to Kiko Lake's tally.

[[Image:Tyrannia-hauntedwoods.gif|left|frame|Although they started great, Tyrannia lost to the Haunted Woods in an amazing game.]]

The previous year's winners, the Haunted Woods (who had been performing solidly throughout the championship) went up against Tyrannia (whose performance was greater than last year) on June 27, and was considered another well-remembered contest.Tyrannia pulled an early lead thanks to forward [[Wila Benne]]'s early goals, but shortly after the beginning of the match the Haunted Woods, the favourites to triumph, pulled together their memorable defence and viciously defended their goal. Forward [[Zo Junior]] managed to move swiftly through Tyrannian lines and bring his team into the lead.

Their performance after the halfway point was as good as before, with Haunted Woods continuing to keep scoring. Tyrannia managed to lessen the lead using their legendary teamwork, but in the final seconds Autrey Fulse executed a sneaky steal of the Yooyuball and passed it to Zo Junior, who scored the final goal as the whistle drew the match to a close.The Haunted Woods team also triumphed over Tyrannia's performance in the side competitions, and their impressive victory left the Woods team in contention for the finals.

[[Image:Faerie victory.gif|right|frame|Faerieland finally got their first Yooyuball win in the Altador Cup.]]

Four weeks into the competition, Faerieland's performance through the competition was considered lacking: the Yooyuball team had failed to win a single game, and while they had not lost more than half of their slushie slinging engagements, they had failed to really excel in either of the side competitions. Because of this, the match between Kiko Lake and Faerieland on July 1 came as a surprise, having given a strong match in comparison to their match two weeks earlier.

After an early lead to Kiko Lake thanks to [[Helmo Timm]], Faerieland's team received something of a renewed vigour after defender [[Elbin Towse]] ran down forward [[Moni Vyshan]] on a breakaway scoring opportunity and stopped the forward's shot at the last moment. [[Babolino]] lead an energetic offence, and time ran out before Kiko Lake could equalise. Faerieland had won their first Yooyuball victory against a team who beat them easily before, and even managed to serve up enough slushies to add to their success.

[[Image:Finals.gif|left|frame|The top four teams make it to the finals in this order: Roo Island, Darigan Citadel, Shenkuu, and Krawk Island.]]

Now that the Round Robin has ended, we move onto the final championship round, where the winner of Altador Cup will be decided. However, if your team was eliminated, that doesn't mean the Altador Cup is over for you. You can still affect the outcome.
While remaining members of their original teams, members of eliminated teams will be permitted to sign up as supporters for one of the 4 finalists in the Altador Cup. After becoming a supporter for one of the 4 finalists, your game scores will contribute toward the finalist's final score. Make sure to pick the team you want to see win!

Until the finalists have been officially announced by the Altador Cup Committee, the Colosseum will be closed and all sixteen Yooyuball teams will enjoy a well-earned rest. In the meantime, Yooyuball will still be available in practice mode, but Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise will be temporarily unavailable.

Once the finalists are announced, the final four days of the competition, and ultimately the championship, will rest in your hands! Good luck to everyone!

==Plot participation==
Unlike many plots, where the course of the story is written and dictated by The Neopets Team, the Altador Cup is directed by the participation of collective users on Neopets - in particular, of their performance against rival teams.

Users could select their team on their own, but also had the option to be placed on a team via a quiz which tested what their personality was like. Unlike the previous year, users could not change teams once gaming began. The sign up time occurred between June 1 - 4, with matches began on the 5th. The score users contributed was calculated by their win/loss/tie record, the number of goals scored each game, and a average based on team membership (so a team with more users participating wouldn't have an advantage over a team with fewer players).

It a common misconception having a loss counted for a users score would give negative points towards a user's score, when in truth every completed game raised the users score higher, although this did not stop some users who wanted a certain team to win took advantage of the system as well, by signing up for an opposing team and purposefully lose in order to try and lower the chance of them winning. Supposedly, new scoring mechanisms in place in this cup stopped the practice that occurred during the [[Altador Cup 2006|first Altador Cup]], where someone would sign up for a team on their side accounts and not play so as to reduce their overall score.

One is not allowed to sign up for the Altador Cup on a side account.

Besides playing Yooyuball, users also had the option of playing '''Slushie Slinger''' and '''Make Some Noise''' to contribute to their score. While these games did give the user points, the most points to be given were those for playing a Yooyuball match.

Tournament play was ''double round robin'', which meant teams played every other team twice. During the round robin phase, each team was given a chance to prove itself by scoring the most overall. At the conclusion of the double round robin phase, the four best-performing teams will advance to the final matches that will determine who will reign supreme in this year's Altador Cup. The top two teams will meet in a final showdown for first place, and the teams that ranked third and fourth in the double round robin phase will battle for third place.

This differs from the previous years elimination method which justifies why users cannot change teams.

==Match Schedule/Results==
===Schedule===
An '''''italicised and bolded''''' team name means that team won the coupling. If both teams in a coupling are italicised and bolded, the match was a draw.

==Prizes==
Upon signing up for one of the participating teams, the user automatically received an ''Altador Cup Team Background'' of the team they joined, which they could use for [[Neopet Customisation]].

It is speculated that users will receive an ''Altador Cup'' [[Site Theme]] as well as an [[avatar]] for participating, but whether these will be the same from last year is unknown.

==Trivia==
*Users were able to see their game achievements on the June 13 update.
*This Cup was the first to use the double round robin, where a team faced every other team twice. After that, the top four teams compete for the Cup.
*The results for the matches on June 26th were not posted until the night of June 28th.

Techocave3: Plot isn't over

==Text as found in the plot==
{{spoiler}}
Text and notable information which may not be viewable again while plot progesses...found on the journal page...<blockquote>''Sailors often whisper to each other about the old legend of Mad Tongue Murphy, the delirious castaway who was rescued at sea. Some tales say that he was driven mad by his long, lonely days of drifting, while others insist that he was cursed when he landed on a mysterious island, a place he often raved about in his crazed ramblings. The only records of his travels lay in his journal, which has now fallen into the capable hands of Professor Hugo Fairweather, archeolinguist and expert of ancient lore. Only time will show what he can make of it...''</blockquote>...and found on the "puzzle" page...<blockquote>''Because of their quick departure, Captain Rourke hasn't had time to tidy up around the SS Primella yet. Various pieces of equipment are strewn about the deck haphazardly, making it rather difficult to walk around. Scrap, to repay the captain back for stealing onto the ship, must now work off his debt by helping around the Primella. Help the stowaway arrange all the pieces on the deck into a neat square, before the captain decides to throw him overboard!''</blockquote>More to be added as plot progesses. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:47, 30 Apr 2007 (CDT)

Current event text chapter 1...<blockquote>''You didn't think crossing vast oceans would be that easy, did you? Stormy weather and violent seas turn out to be a blessing for our timid adventurers. Did we say timid? We meant brave. Right.''</blockquote>and Current event text chapter 2...<blockquote>''Who would have guessed that our brave explorers would travel all the way to a mysterious isle just to get eaten by a giant monster? Maybe they will find a way out of this terrible situation.''</blockquote>More to be added as plot progresses (i like saying that :P ). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:11, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

from the [http://neopets.com/mip/mstcode.phtml Mysterious Stone Temple]...<blockquote>'' In order to enter this strange structure, you must enter the correct keycode using the key rings. Fortunately, the lock comes with a handy prompt system of flashing lights that lets you know how close your guess is. In the interest of maintaining high security, the keycode is reset if it is not guessed correctly after a number of tries. At that point, the rings return to the neutral position, and you must start over. Simply click on a ring to move the next symbol into the red code position. To move a ring backward, hold SHIFT or CNTRL while clicking on a ring. Once you have all the rings in the position you like, click the red button in the center of the lock. For each symbol that is correct in the code you entered, one of the lights in the middle will light up. A yellow light indicates that a symbol in the keycode you've entered is part of the correct code, but not in the correct position. A green light indicates that a symbol in the code you entered is the correct symbol, as well as in the correct position. NOTE: There is no correlation between the position of the lights and the position of the rings. The lights only tell you how many symbols you have correct. They do NOT tell you where they are. ''</blockquote>hope everyone can figure out the puzzle. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:43, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

After solving:
<blockquote>''Looks like you've done it. With a soft hiss, the door slides open and allows you to enter. A gleam of metal on the floor catches your eye, and you quickly pocket the object.''</blockquote>
--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:44, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

The text accompanying [http://neopets.com/mip/maze.phtml the maze] in chapter 5 puzzle...<blockquote>''You stand before the winding twists and turns of the jungle, take a deep breath, then plunge into the dimly-lighted space, covered as it is by the thick foliage. There are makeshift tools and items here that can help you fix the ship, and you're determined to find them. Click on the paths to go in a certain direction, and click on items to pick them up. Check your inventory to see what items have been picked up already.''</blockquote>

Finding the jawbone...
<blockquote>''You pick up a monstrous jawbone and gape at its size for a minute before taking it with you. Who knows, maybe you can put those sharp teeth on it to good use.''</blockquote>--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:56, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Boat fixing complete:
<blockquote>''Good job! The ship now looks seaworthy enough for a voyage home. Better hurry and get on board. You want to escape this place before those Petpetpets get to you...''</blockquote>

Prize shop text:
<blockquote>''You stand before a stately wooden door and knock politely on its polished exterior. A voice calls for you to come in, and you gently push it open. Professor Hugo Fairweather sits in his office, surrounded by innumerable piles of old books. There is the musty smell of old parchment, and dust clouds stir lightly around the room. "Ahh, welcome," the Professor says genially, looking up from where he has been writing into a notebook."You must be here for the prizes! Just give me a moment here..."''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Professor Fairweather rummages through some of the books on his desks and pulls one out. He flips through several pages and scans the list of names written in there. "According to this, you have [x] points left to spend. Enjoy looking around!"''</blockquote>

=='Crysophyllum Munusa'==
The daughter of the professor mentions crysophyllum munusa on the ship in the first part: I cannot match it to anything, but 'munusa' is Latin for a gift, or service. There is a 'c''h''rysophyllum', which is a genus of tropical trees, however. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:39, 1 May 2007 (CDT)

Talk:Altador Cup II

2007-07-03T20:28:36Z

Techocave3: /* Standings hierarchy */

==Altador Cup II?==
This year's competition seems to be called in official media ''Altador Cup II'', not ''Altador Cup 2007''... Propose move... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:22, 10 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:If we did that, would the Altador Cup 2006 article be called "Altador Cup I"? I named them this way to have readers quickly understand the difference between each years activities, and to have them seperate from the main game article, "Altador Cup". If we were to call this Altador Cup II, readers would perhaps think it was an update to the regular Altador Cup, rather than the installment of 2007. You are right in that Neopets mentions this current plot as "Altador Cup II", so perhaps mentioning the difference in the the trivia will suffice. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:43, 10 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::It is an update on the regular Altador Cup... in that... It's the second one. The same numbering system is used in other real life sporting events, e.g. [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl|the Super Bowl]]... It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out :¬/. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:13, 12 Jun 2007 (UTC)

Checked out the Super Bowl article, and it seems they do indeed label each individual bowl with a roman numeral. Hmmm...i suppose it could swing either way, but i think showing the year off the bat is quicker to identify than those with roman numerals. then again, we don't really how people will identify with each of the plots. If it's being presented in the roman numerals, then i'm all for it. can also be changed in the future if nessesary. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:01, 13 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:I don't quite see the matter. After all [[Altador Cup II]] redirects to this article. Independent of what the user searches for, he ''will'' find the article, anyway.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 05:50, 13 Jun 2007 (UTC)

::Quite, but we could have ''Altador Cup II'' and ''Altador Cup 2007'' both redirecting to ''Hermit Hugglepumps Magical Adventures in a Strawberry Field'', and while whichever someone searches they will get the article, it is hardly appropriate. :P.

::For reference, it is referred to as ''Altador Cup II'' [http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/index.phtml here], and in the [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml ''Current Event'' section here]... The [http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/boardlist.phtml?board=7 Altador Cup II NeoBoard], of course, also bears this notation. Elsewhere, it is just called ''Altador Cup'', a generic name... Sometimes ''second annual Altador Cup''. I cannot find ''Altador Cup 2007'' in any official media. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:20, 13 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:::No fair making jokes. Didn't feel like smiling. :D Again, "Altador Cup 2006/2007" is a title '''I''' created for ease of use, which i believe was even before they called this plot "Altador Cup II". We can redirect to the properly titled articles as needed. If other users show complaints, we can always change it back. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:39, 13 Jun 2007 (UTC)

::The Cup is known as Altador Cup 2007 on the Jellyneo Forums. [http://www.jellyneofourms.net Here].--[[User:UBracter|UBracter]] 21:54, 2 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::What users (you, me, and the people of the Jellyneo Forums) refer to a plot is different from what Neopets officially calls a plot. If the official title of plot is "Altador Cup II", then that is what the article will be named. Users may still refer to is as "Altador Cup 2007", but the official title remains. If TNT should discontinue the method in the following year (not "Altador Cup III"), then name changes can be made. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:41, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Ranking system==
the ranking scores have been taken into affect as of today...or at least i finally got enough of a score to get [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/levels/levelshields100_1.gif level one]. To help measure these scores (if it's even possible), here is what i currently got for level one...

http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/levels/levelshields100_1.gif '''''Level 1'''''
*'''Yooyuball'''
**Goals Scored: 172 - 316
**Number of Wins: 38 - 61
**Number of Draws: 1
**Number of Losses: 0
*'''Slushie Slinger'''
**Games Played: 26 - 49
*'''Make Some Noise'''
**Games Played: 52 - 97

if players are guaged by how well they play against other players and their contributions to the team vs. other users of the same team, then guaging this system will be next to impossible. :( *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:25, 17 Jun 2007 (UTC)

To help guage the score (if it's possible), I added what i got from yesterday... --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:35, 18 Jun 2007 (UTC)

Will continue to modify my score till i get a new rank... --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:06, 18 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:I feel compelled to put you out of your misery ;). I've found a [http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=biggirl123_6_6 ranking guide that appears to be quite reliable]. For record's sake, I'll quote it here:

<blockquote>"''ALTADOR CUP RANKING GUIDE!!''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''OK - this is my latest attempt at explaining how ranking works. It will not be 100% yet, but the shape of it works, just needs some fine tuning. As a few have asked, I am also happy for anyone to use this information, or even to further develop!''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Remember there are no guarantees here - just a best estimate based on data seen to date! The breaks at the top ranks are still needing a lot of testing, as little data is avaialable here yet.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''So what you need to do!''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''QUICK METHOD - Simply give yourself one point for each YYB win, one point for every three SS games played and one point for every 15 MSN games played. That is your total!''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Or in full; you need to convert your activity in to a points total. Here is how.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''For each YYB game you have won, give yourself 1 point (care, games played not goals). Give yourself 0.334 points (one third)for each drawn game.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''For each SS game you have played, give yourself 0.334 (again multiply by one third) points.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''For each MSN game you have played, give yourself 0.0667 points (care here, 6.667% not 66.67%)''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Add them up. That is your 'points total'. One warning here - the small number of people whose scores do not match this chart have high numbers of SS games played. I increasingly believe there is a 'cut off' score, wherby below that it shows as a win on your record, but does not score for rank. If this is the case, it is to stop people playing loads of games getting very poor scores quickly.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''The ranking for points then is;''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Beginner - less than 49.99''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 1 - 50-99.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 2 - 100-149.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 3 - 150-199.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 4 - 200-274.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 5 - 275-349.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 6 - 350-424.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 7 - 425-499.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 8 - 500-599.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 9 - 600-699.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 10 - 700-799.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 11 - 800 -899.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 12 - 900-1024.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 13 - 1025-1149.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 14 - 1150-1274.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 15 - 1275-1399.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 16 - 1400-1549.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 17 - 1550-1699.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 18 - 1700-1849.99 points''</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Rank 19 - 1850-2000 points''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''Above that is currently unknown, although it is known there is a maximum of 20 ranks.''"</blockquote>
--[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 01:43, 24 Jun 2007 (UTC)

::This can show to be different. I am currently at Level 4 and I have less than 200 wins.--[[User:UBracter|UBracter]] 21:51, 2 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::As stated, the plot isn't finished, and hopefully the scoring system will be explained soon enough. ;)

==Results by day==
UBracter has recently edited out the results by day section, and i put them back in place, due to them being the best method to show how each team did on each day. How better to display it and what improvments to use is the purpose of this discussion. *is ready to hear ideas* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:30, 27 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:I've been thinking - Which is more important: Result by day or result for each matchup? Anyway, this is a weird idea of mine if result by day is still required... Lets see if everybody can figure it out: [[User:SwordFire/AC_Result|Result chart]] --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 15:37, 29 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:It looks good, and i'm glad you put in the effort to make it. This allow the challenges to be viewed by each 8 matchups, allowing to show each part of the double round robin. Of course, i think it would be better to throw in Altador into the table, rather than have it be the match where the same team lines up. When that happens, just have the cross out symbol or something like other round robin tables do. I ''really'' do like this. If we can set it up just right (showing all teams, lining them up in a proper fasion, include the dates of matchups), it would be much better than what i currently have in the results section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:13, 30 Jun 2007 (UTC)

::I edited it out because it would take up to much space. Plus, since it only has the rusults for the first two days, it is completely pointless. If it had the rusults for the rest of the days, then it would take up more space than the page itself. Plus, if you want the rusults by day, you could simply see the schudle. There, all the teams like ''this'', would be a team that won that match. The results by day section, in my point of view, is stupid. --[[User:UBracter|UBracter]] 18:43, 30 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:::Only the 1st 2 days are shown because those were the only tables created thus far. and the tables would scroll down, not ''across'', so you don't need to worry about it taking up too much space. and looking at the scedule, at the style it is right now, is "stupid", because it doesn't tell us who won the "Slushie Slinger" or "Make Some Noise" competitions, which we need. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::I actually stopped right after creating the 6 June result table. There are two reasons: One, the Neodex is complaining about the size of the page. Two, implementing all the days in the same format will definitely drag the page far too long (who wants to scroll down 30+ pages for information? Ouch...)
::I've re-added Altador to the experimental table without breaking the line-up for each day. I've also extended the table just enough to fit two rounds of round-robin and still look logically correct for each day. The Neodex will still complain about the size, but at least the number of pages is reduced.
::The only problem is it's not easy to add and modify the data within the table, but once we added all the data, we do not need to worry about modifying it. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 01:32, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::But the scedule shows overall who won that coupling. --[[User:UBracter|UBracter]] 17:04, 2 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Standings hierarchy==
I've removed the following section,

<blockquote>The standings on this list is just a guess. But it seems to be greatly similar to the scoring system TNT uses. Thus, this may not be the right caluation, but is very similar. A win is 2 points, a draw is 1 point, and a loss is 0. Yooyuball is double the points (win=4, draw=2, loss=0).</blockquote>

as it seems to be entirely speculative... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:08, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::... o_o That doesn't mean it is correct, though. It is a guess, purely speculative - there are many different ways the figures can be manipulated to produce those four teams in that order... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:46, 2 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Jelly Blobs of Doom

|Ratio=150:100}}

'''''Jelly Blobs of Doom''''' is a [[game]] starring a [[Jelly]] [[Chomby]]. In it, your goal is to eat jelly blobs that are smaller than yourself, and avoid those that are bigger. Eating smaller jelly blobs gradually increases your size, but if you run into a larger blob you will get devoured, meaning game over.

==How to play==
You are a Jelly Chomby trying to get lunch. You move around the screen using the arrow keys. If you go off of the screen, you appear on the opposite side. There are many different jelly blobs, and you may only eat the ones smaller than you. If you run into one bigger than you, it will consume you. The more jelly you eat, the bigger you get. The blobs move across the screen, and you can't chase them off of the screen. Sounds easy, right? Here's the catch: You're on jelly. Meaning that even if you stop pressing the arrow keys, you still keep sliding, and you just might keeep sliding into a jelly blob that will then devour you. If you do get eaten, and I know some people get paranoid about this, if you do get eaten the jelly blob will carry you off the screen. There is a sound like jelly being dropped on a hardwood floor.

===Codes===
*Typing '''rainbownegg''' during gameplay will cause a Rainbow Negg to appear. The Negg is worth 20 pts.
*Typing '''fishnegg''' during gameplay will cause a Fish Negg to appear. The Negg is worth 50 pts.
*Typing '''marissa''' on the screen where it says "Press the Spacebar to begin" causes the text "(Now are you happy?)" to appear. This code doesn't seem to affect gameplay in any way.
* Rapidly pressing random keys during gameplay causes a gigantic blue jelly blob (like the one on the startup screen) to appear.

==Trivia==
*Since the release of the game, the text "''Movie coming Winter 2008. Keep checking this page for updates!''" has appeared on the description, possibly an advertisement for the [[Neopets Movie]].

Brucey B

2007-06-29T13:36:53Z

Techocave3: /* See Also */

A [[Bruce]] who has a habit of playing [[Cheat!]], Brucey B is a Bingo caller by nature, but in his nights off he likes to play the odd game of Cheat. Still learning, but by no means a beginner, Brucey will catch you out with the old triple-bluff maneuver. He also tends to hide his cards under the table, so you will not know he has won until the last minute!

Once helped save the [[Lost Desert]] from [[Dr. Frank Sloth]] and his army of [[Grundo]]s in a plot titled [[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]].

==Plot Summary==
===Brucey B and the Lucky Coin===
:''Main Article: [[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]]''

After loosing his Lucky Coin to a mysterious purple [[Jetsam]] in a rigged [[Cheat!]] game, [[Brucey B]] and his friends [[Capara]] and [[Princess Fernypoo]] decide to track down the Jetsam. The three adventurers go to the [[Brain Tree]] for help but get lost in the [[Haunted Woods]]. As dawn breaks they discover that they had made it through the Woods - something no one has ever done before. Crossing the dunes of the [[Lost Desert]] they find the Jetsam in front of the Great Pyramid and [[Dr. Sloth]]'s evil plan already underway. After chasing down Sloth to get his coin back, Brucey saves [[Sakhmet]] and [[Neopia]] when he breaks the [[Staff of Alhasutek]].

Meridell

2007-06-27T21:00:42Z

Techocave3: /* Brightvale */

{{Construction|reason=Separation of Brightvale and Darigan with Meridell needed (see [[Talk:Meridell|discussion]]), redirecting of plot summary data into main articles}}

:''Darigan redirects here. For information on the ruler of Darigan Citadel, see [[Lord Darigan]]''

[[Image:Meridell.JPG|right|frame|Map of Meridell]]
'''Meridell''' is a [[wikipedia:medieval|medieval]] land of knights, kings and magic from [[Neopia]]'s past. It was discovered by a group of unlikely adventurers - [[Lisha]] and her friends - somewhat by accident as part of the ''[[Champions of Meridell]]'' plot. The region encompasses the Kingdom of Meridell, Brightvale, and Darigan. Meridell is known for its great games, mostly involving vegetables, [[Faerie Quest]]s, [[Ultimate Bullseye]], [[Mortog]] kissing, puzzles and other things.

The nation of Meridell has been involved in two wars, the first in the plot ''Champions of Meridell'' was the first Neopian war in which the players could choose either of the sides, and the second in the plot ''[[Battle for Meridell]]''. This makes Meridell the most fought-over area on Neopia.

Meridell's colours are red, blue and gold. Meridell is ruled by [[King Skarl]] from the Meridell Castle, a large white, red and gold structure. The castle is defended by [[The Castle Defender]], a [[Kougra]] warrior who acted as the war boss for the good side in the first Meridell war but did not appear in the second. An explanation for this is given in ''The Castle Defender'' TCG card, which describes it as "a powerful illusion, but just an illusion". [[Jeran]] is one of the leading knights of the kingdom.

==Yooyuball==
Meridell's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team is all about "speed", and is said to be described with that one word. Their superior conditioning allows them to wear down opponents with a relentless flurry of cuts and screens from the opening face-off until the end of a game. Their speed, however, masks the fact they aren't the most accurate or powerful shooters.

They began the 2006 tournament as one of the odds-on favourites to win, having run circles around [[Maraqua#Yooyuball|Maraqua]] in the first round, but "smashed their head on into a brick wall" when they faced [[Darigan]]'s defence in Round Two. Meridell fans hope the replacement of reviled ''Left Forward'' [[Vitri Sitol]] with swift scorer [[Gregorgio Maille]] will not only give the team a much needed offensive boost, but also help improve their standing among fans around Neopia.

*[["Wizard" Windelle]] - ''Centre Forward''
*[[Fiorina]] - ''Right Forward''
*[[Gregorgio Maille]] - ''Left Forward (2007)''
*[[Ilsa Ellits]] - ''Centre Defender''
*[[Sir Pollonaire Freidl]] - ''Goalkeeper, Team Captain''
*[[Vitri Sitol]] - ''Left Forward (2006)''

==Other Kingdoms connected with Meridell==
===Darigan===
[[Image:Citadel 2004 01.gif|right|frame|Map of Darigan Citadel]]
'''Darigan Citadel''', which floats in the air thanks to many engines of an unknown mechanism, was once part of its own land of plenty, until King Skarl's knights stole a magical orb that kept the kingdom prosperous. The Citadel came to the Meridell region as part of the ''Champions of Meridell'' plot to wage war on King Skarl and his kingdom. During this time, the Citadel was ruled by [[Lord Darigan]], who vanished at the end of the plot. [[Lord Kass]] took over in Lord Darigan's absence and waged a second war against Meridell from above as part of the ''Battle for Meridell'' plot, during which time it was know as Kass Citadel. Darigan returned and took back his kingdom in the course of the plot.

Attractions include the [[Darigan Toys]] shop and the [[Petpet Battledome]], along with the fortress' many dungeons and the [[Cellblock|games]] that have developed in them.

====Yooyuball====
Darigan's Yooyuball team have few major weaknesses, although they have been criticized in the past for playing too easy a schedule during the regular season, and as a result are unprepared when the tournament comes. To fix this, Darigan Citadel relented and added more matches against a few of the better teams for the 2006 season. Due to this they didn't finish as high in the standings as they normally did, but it gave them the toughness to play in the games which mattered the most (or at least this is what the fans hoped). Their tactic paid off, and they managed to place 2nd in the Altador Cup, ending their reputation as post-season underachievers.

Rather than rest, however, the Citadel's team made an upgrade for the ''Goalkeeper'', replacing the less-than-mobile [[Mungo Lifler]] with promising netminder [[Reshar Collifey]] for the 2007 season. And due to the success of the previous year's tactic, Darigan again faced a string of difficult teams for their regular schedule.

*[[Kep Bonnefie]] - ''Left Defender''
*[[Layton Vickles]] - ''Left Forward, Team Captain''
*[[Mungo Lifler]] - ''Goalkeeper (2006)''
*[[Reshar Collifey]] - ''Goalkeeper (2007)''
*[[Tandrak Shaye]] - ''Right Forward''

==Brightvale==
[[Image:Brightvale.JPG|right|frame|Map of Brightvale]]
'''Brightvale''', a Neopian world discovered on 11th August 2004, is an almost Utopian kingdom of scholars and fine arts ruled by King Skarl's older brother [[King Hagan]]. The first glass windows came from this kingdom, and every year on 11th August a festival is held commemorating its discovery. Brightvale's colours are green and white, and its flag consists of a triangle of white over a triangle of green, defaced with a star.

Attractions in Brightvale include the [[Wheel of Knowledge]], [[Wise Old King|Brightvale Castle]], and numerous shops: the [[Royal Potionery]], [[The Scrollery]], the [[Brightvale Armoury]], [[Brightvale Books]], [[Brightvale Fruits]], the [[Brightvale Motery]], and [[Brightvale Glaziers]].

====Yooyuball====
Brightvale's Yooyuball team is known for being the most crooked lineup of cheating and rough players, despite being the land of wisdom and learning. They know the rules of the game very well, and use it to their advantage by giving sharp jabs to the ribs when no one's looking and other such tricks to win. Their reputation of rough playing is even greater than Darigan Citadel and the [[Haunted Woods]].

After being defeated by the Haunted Woods in Round Two of the 2006 games, Brightvale claimed to have learned the error of their ways for many different reasons (not wanting to shame King Hagan, their tactics were no match for the tournament's better teams, increased popularity means more merchandise sales, etc.). Taking a cue from [["Squeaky" Tressif]], they turned over a new leaf and decided to play fair. While their playing style during the regular season indicates they've cleaned up their act, one can't help but suspect they've still got a trick or two up their sleeves for the tournament of 2007.

===Champions of Meridell===
:''Main Article: [[Champions of Meridell]]''

After the magical arrival of a group of school children back in time in Meridell Castle, the peace of the kingdom of Meridell, ensured by a legendary magic orb which kept the land around it prosperous, is threatened by the original owners of the device, the people of Darigan. After a massive war, Lord Darigan, in his sinister, floating citadel, reclaimed the orb and wrecked most of Meridell, devastating its attractions and taking over the Castle. However, when Lord Darigan went insane over the orb and tapped into its magic to turn himself into The Spectre of Lord Darigan, an all-powerful weapon, it was left down to prisoner-turned-escapee the [[Yellow Knight]] to rush to Meridell and explain the situation to General [[Galgarroth]], who led Darigan's army with Meridell's surviving defences in a strike against the power-crazed Lord to stop him before he took over all of [[Neopia]]. After his defeat, Darigan disappeared, and the orb, which he had taken to wearing as a necklace, cracked in two to be shared between the realms.

===Battle for Meridell===
:''Main Article: [[Battle for Meridell]]''

Lord Kass took over rule of the Citadel through threats and bribery, disposing of those who apposed him, and then started a campaign of propaganda against King Skarl and Meridell. This culminated in an invasion of the land the citadel floated over, with the castle's weakness to air-based attacks was exploited, as noted by the ''Meridell Castle'' [[TCG]] card.

In Meridell during this time, Lord Darigan had surfaced. He had lost almost all his memories and was completely mad, stalking farmer's fields as ''The Bat-Thing'', until he took up lodging for a short while in a barn, fed by a little [[Usul]] girl.

This invasion was more effective that the previous as Lord Kass used the powers of his enchantress [[Morguss]] to first stop King Skarl ordering the defence of his border (by enchanting him with the dance of Morguss's daughter) and possessing Meridell's own peasants to fight what little forces had been sent to the front. [[Kayla]]'s own magical efforts allowed, once Skarl had been disenchanted, an effective Meridell counterattack to Kass's large war machines.

During this time, the farm Lord Darigan had taken as his housing was raided, and when he fought off several soldiers to protect the Usul that had helped him, the guards' reactions prompted him to remember who he was, and he flew off to the Citadel, silhouetted by the moon.

A second counterattack, lead by Jeran, attacked the Citadel itself from the air. However, this sneak attack was met by a well prepared Lord Kass, and despite their only being a skeleton force on the Citadel itself, the attack quickly dispatched, Jeran himself plunging over the side of the floating fortress. Lord Darigan arrived shortly after, to Lord Kass' horror, and they sparred, Lord Kass determined to fix the "mistake" of Lord Darigan being left alive, but Lord Darigan won over and Kass fell to the floor, where his amulet smashed and [[The Three]] stole him away for his failure.

==NeoQuest II==
:''Main Article: [[NeoQuest II]]''
{{spoiler}}
Meridell is the location for the events in the first chapter of [[NeoQuest II]]. The bosses in this act are [[The Miner Foreman]], [[Zombom]], [[The Sand Grundo]], and [[Ramtor]]. The user starts out in the village of [[Trestin]] with the character [[Rohane]], and later can add [[Mipsy]] to the party.

==Trivia==
*Meridell is the largest [[Neopian]] World, consisting of five maps (Meridell, Meridell Castle, Brightvale, Darigan Citadel, and Meriacres Farm) - two more than the joint second largest ([[Terror Mountain]] and the [[Lost Desert]]).

Journey to the Lost Isle

'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007.

==Plot summary==
===Chapter 1===
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity.

When they went to find a ship to sail them to their destination, they were directed to [[Captain Rourke]] by a [[Pirate]] [[Shoyru]], who said he would be the only one who would take such a dangerous task. Even Captain Rourke had misgivings, but with the encouragement of a large bag of [[Neopoints]], offered the services of his ship, the SS Primella. Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

===Chapter 2===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch2.gif
|}
As Rourke has expected, the SS Primella was quickly plunged into a storm. Lasting three solid days, the visibility was so poor the adventurers did not know they were near land until it was upon them. The storm sucked them against the rocks, smashing a hole into the SS Primella's hull, and as a huge wave reared to swallow the ship, Rourke gave the order for a hasty 'abandon ship'.

Morning dawned, and the crew found themselves washed up onto the very island their sought, the storm having finally subsided. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and after some debate, the Captain resolved to remain and do his best to piece together what was left, while the others - excluding Scrap, who the Captain snatched up to help him - went to explore the island.

As they left, the Captain threatened that he would leave once his ship was repaired at the slightest hint of danger, but Scrap told Lilian he would prevent him from leaving until the Professor's party had returned.

They moved through the thick plant life with initial caution for what strange creatures may reside in the island, but danger or not, as Lilian spotted the rare plant from the journal, she ran forward, Roxton and company chasing after her, and straight into a [[Ravenous Monster]].

===Chapter 3===
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch3.gif
|}
The Ravenous Monster appeared ready to strike at Lilian, but when it did it was at a giant [[Lady Blurg]] behind her. As the giant insects fought, Roxton hurried Lilian away from the danger. Roxton noted how Rourke may have been right in suggesting they leave as soon as they could. However, Hugo and Lilian could only exclaim how great the discovery of such creatures was, and the possibilities for their research, and rushed to investigate when they found a heard of giant [[Mootix]]. Noting they were herbivores (especially when one of the Mootix licked Roxton), Roxton and Hugo investigated their surroundings while Lilian fed them, discovering the skeleton of a giant meat eater. As Roxton remarked, it could only have been eaten by an even larger carnivore.

Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend. Roxton then plucked a pink flower and presented it to Lilian, who recognised it as a ''selerium taniverens'', a flower whose self defence mechanisms were quite "marvellous to behold". On hearing that its sap was extremely toxic when applied to the skin, Roxton hastily dropped the flower in surprise.

The party came upon a temple, made out of stone with a mysterious silver sheen Roxton did not recognise. They decided to use it as a temporary shelter against the strange creatures of the island, and broke the puzzle key to enter. Upon entering, one of them finds a metal object on the floor, which they place in their pocket.

===Chapter 4===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch4_bd.gif
|}
Inside the temple, the group discovers there used to be an occupant of the temple who dabbled in scientific studies, and the sketches left behind prove the creatures of the island to be giant [[Petpetpet]]s. While Hugo and Lilian marvel at the discover, Roxton finds a nest of giant Petpetpet eggs, which are soon discovered to be laid by a [[Monstrous Moach]] which has breached the temple in the past when it attacks them.

Escaping from the temple, Lilian trips when she gets caught in vines, prompting Roxton to save her and say, "How great are plants now, huh?" Up ahead, Hugo and Werther manage to safely cross over a tree bridge, while Roxton and Lilian run away from the Giant Moach which has caught up to them. The Monstrous Moach knocks the tree into the ravine, and Roxton manages to save them both by quickly grabbing onto a vine. Stuck in the walls of the ravine, Roxton tells Hugo to go on ahead to find Captain Rourke, and that they will find another way back while they fend off the Monstrous Moach.

==Plot participation==
Participation in the plot put users in the role of the adventurers, and walking through the completion of certain tasks.

===Chapter 1: Clean the Deck!===
Users had helped Scrap clean up the deck of the SS Primella, by arranging items in a certain way so as to fit in a grid, so that he could remain on board.

===Chapter 2: Battledome #1===
Users had to fight the insect-like Ravenous Monster in the one-player [[Battledome]], native to the Island, that was terrorising the adventurers.

===Chapter 3: Mysterious Stone Temple===
Users had to decode three levels of the Temple's locking system. Each lock was freed based on the correct pattern of symbols, which was determined [[Wikipedia:Mastermind (board game)|mastermind]]-fashion, much like [[Codebreakers]] or [[Time Tunnel]].

===Chapter 4: Battledome #2===
Users battled against the Monstrous Moach.

===Chapter 5: Maze===

===Chapter 6: Battledome #3===
Users fought the Petpetpet Hourde.

==Trivia==
*The use of a book that will be filled as the plot progresses is a similar plot device to that used in the [[Altador Plot]].
*On the second page of the first comic, [[Garin]], [[Jacques]], [[Linae]] and [[Bruno]] can be seen in the background of the public house. Garin, notably, has his earrings in his right ear, which is likely to be an artist's mistake.
*In the background of the pub in the first comic, there is a painting similar to the [[Wikipedia:Dogs Playing Poker|Dogs Playing Poker]] series.
*An error would sometimes occur if the user left the ''Clean the Deck!'' puzzle before it was finished, and start over from the smallest grid. Refreshing the page brought the user back to the latest puzzle.
*The story has references to [[Wikipedia:The Lost World (Arthur Conan Doyle)|The Lost World]] by '''Arthur Conan Doyle'''. One of the hints is the character [[Roxton A. Colchester III]] who obviously was inspired by [[Wikipedia:Lord John Roxton|Lord John Roxton]].

Altador Cup 2007

{{currentevent}}

[[Image:Ctp 851.gif|right|frame|The coveted Altador Cup. ]]

:''This article is about the plot details of the Altador Cup in 2007. For information about Yooyuball, see [[Altador Cup]].''

'''Altador Cup 2007''' was a gaming [[plot]] which began on June 1, 2007, and was the second installation of the [[Altador Cup]].

==Plot summary==
[[Image:Shenkuu team.gif|right|frame|Team Shenkuu were new comers to the competition, Shenkuu having been discovered between the [[Altador Cup 2006|first]] and the second Altador Cups. ]]

With the return of Altador Cup in 2007, the previous years finalists (the [[Haunted Woods]] and [[Darigan Citadel]]) returned with key changes to their rosters, which they felt would vault them into being odds-on favourites to take the Cup. Darigan benched goalkeeper [[Mungo Lifler]] and brought in [[Reshar Collifey]], while the Haunted Woods hired defender [[Autry Fulse]]. Whether these changes would give the teams the edge they needed or backfire horribly would remain to be seen.

Changes occurred in the line ups of many of the other teams, also, due to free-agent signings and the arrival of new rookies. An entirely new Yooyuball team, from [[Shenkuu]], participated for the first time in 2007. The sport itself underwent some alterations, with three new kinds of Yooyuball to be brought into play for the first time - Normal, Clockwork, and Darigan - to make games more varied.

Furthermore, two additional ways for users to aid their team were added, ''Make Some Noise'' and ''Slushie Slinger'', new to this years competition.

[[Kreludor]]'s team, conspicuous by its absence, sent out a press release on the 8 June justifying why they could not compete this year. [[Derlyn Fonnet]] dispelled the rumours surrounding their mysterious non-involvement, citing an incorrectly set gravity control of their training ground. The insufficient bone and muscle density would have proved a health and safety problem were the team to play on Neopia's greater gravity, although whether this was an innocent fault or an act of vandalism to sabotage the team's chances could not be determined. The full press release reads as follows:

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 02.gif|left|frame|Derlyn Fonnet hoped to return the following year.]]

<blockquote>''"As you may have noticed by now, Team Kreludor is not one of the participants in this year's Altador Cup. This is due to a malfunction with our training centre's gravity control that went unnoticed; it seems that we have spent the better part of this past year training in gravity that is weaker than that of Neopia. For this reason, it would not be safe for us to compete, due to insufficient bone and muscle density. Rest assured that the problem has been fixed. It is not known, however, whether the incident was a case of simple mechanical failure or the result of sabotage by disgruntled factions here on Kreludor. We will continue our training in hopes of returning to form next year, but I'm afraid it would be impossible for us to participate in this year's tournament. We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us in the past and all of our fans both on Kreludor and in Neopia. Thank you."''</blockquote>

Whether or not they will be able to return for the next tournament is unclear, as, with Shenkuu competing, there would be an uneven number of teams.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 03.gif|frame|[[Garven Hale]], considered to be one of the best Goalkeepers, couldn't keep up with Darigan Citadel.]]

On June 11, in what was considered the most anticipated match-up of the Double Round Robin phase occurred. Krawk Island. undefeated in Yooyuball and the overall leaders, faced the Darigan Citadel, last year's runner-up and the odds-on favourite to win the tournament. The Citadel came out with a blistering offensive attack, sending a flurry of shots at Krawk Island goaltender Garven Hale, who bravely turned away nearly all of Darigan's volleys, but the onslaught was too much, and as a result a handful of shots managed to slip through. On the opposite end of the field, Krawk Island's creative use of passing and offensive created enough scoring opportunities for them to even the score. However, they didn't to come up with the energy needed to make a final push and take the lead. In the closing moments of the match, Darigan added a few late scores to pull away and secure the victory.

As impressive as the Citadel has been on the playing field (winning six of their seven match-ups), they've been far less formidable in the tournament's other two aspects. Today was no different, as Krawk Island slung more slushies than Darigan, and raised enough of a racket to come away with a draw in the noise-making competition. In the end, it wasn't a total loss for Krawk Island and their fans, because they not only managed to come away with a few points and keep their place atop the leaderboard, but they could also take heart in knowing another chance to avenge their loss to the Citadel lies in their future.

[[Image:AC Plot 2007 04.gif|left|frame|Brightvale vs. Virtupets was a fierce game.]]

Despite the anticipation for the coming week's high profile matches, the match between Brightvale and the Virtupets Space Station on June 14 held everyone's attention, pitting evenly-matched teams against each other. Early on, the game was a stalemate, with neither side giving an inch. Brightvale's aggressive (and not surprisingly clean) style made gradual progress in wearing down the Space Station, while Virtupets' arsenal of elaborate offensive sets occasionally flustered Brightvale and created quality scoring chances. Goals were few, with the score dead even at the middle of the game.

From then on, however, the fatigue of the Space Station's players became more noticeable. Mental mistakes increased in frequency, with defenders losing a step or two in their rotations, allowing Brightvale to score more points. Rather than mounting a comeback, Virtupets struggled just to keep the match close. Despite a valiant effort by Keetra Deile and her Space Station teammates, Brightvale gained an impressive victory on the field. Their auxiliary competitions were far less competitive, with Brightvale's followers holding a decided advantage in slushie serving and noise making throughout the day giving them an across-the-board win.

==Plot participation==
Unlike many plots, where the course of the story is written and dictated by The Neopets Team, the Altador Cup is directed by the participation of collective users on Neopets - in particular, of their performance against rival teams.

Users could select their team on their own, but also had the option to be placed on a team via a quiz which tested what their personality was like. Unlike the previous year, users could not change teams once gaming began. The sign up time occurred between June 1 - 4, with matches began on the 5th. The score users contributed was calculated by their win/loss/tie record, the number of goals scored each game, and a average based on team membership (so a team with more users participating wouldn't have an advantage over a team with fewer players).

It a common misconception having a loss counted for a users score would give negative points towards a user's score, when in truth every completed game raised the users score higher, although this did not stop some users who wanted a certain team to win took advantage of the system as well, by signing up for an opposing team and purposefully lose in order to try and lower the chance of them winning. Supposedly, new scoring mechanisms in place in this cup stopped the practice that occurred during the [[Altador Cup 2006|first Altador Cup]], where someone would sign up for a team on their side accounts and not play so as to reduce their overall score.

One is not allowed to sign up for the Altador Cup on a side account.

Besides playing Yooyuball, users also had the option of playing '''Slushie Slinger''' and '''Make Some Noise''' to contribute to their score. While these games did give the user points, the most points to be given were those for playing a Yooyuball match.

Tournament play was ''double round robin'', which meant teams played every other team twice. During the round robin phase, each team was given a chance to prove itself by scoring the most overall. At the conclusion of the double round robin phase, the four best-performing teams will advance to the final matches that will determine who will reign supreme in this year's Altador Cup. The top two teams will meet in a final showdown for first place, and the teams that ranked third and fourth in the double round robin phase will battle for third place.

This differs from the previous years elimination method which justifies why users cannot change teams.

'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007.

==Plot summary==
===Chapter 1===
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity.

When they went to find a ship to sail them to their destination, they were directed to [[Captain Rourke]] by a [[Pirate]] [[Shoyru]], who said he would be the only one who would take such a dangerous task. Even Captain Rourke had misgivings, but with the encouragement of a large bag of [[Neopoints]], offered the services of his ship, the SS Primella. Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

===Chapter 2===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch2.gif
|}
As Rourke has expected, the SS Primella was quickly plunged into a storm. Lasting three solid days, the visibility was so poor the adventurers did not know they were near land until it was upon them. The storm sucked them against the rocks, smashing a hole into the SS Primella's hull, and as a huge wave reared to swallow the ship, Rourke gave the order for a hasty 'abandon ship'.

Morning dawned, and the crew found themselves washed up onto the very island their sought, the storm having finally subsided. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and after some debate, the Captain resolved to remain and do his best to piece together what was left, while the others - excluding Scrap, who the Captain snatched up to help him - went to explore the island.

As they left, the Captain threatened that he would leave once his ship was repaired at the slightest hint of danger, but Scrap told Lilian he would prevent him from leaving until the Professor's party had returned.

They moved through the thick plant life with initial caution for what strange creatures may reside in the island, but danger or not, as Lilian spotted the rare plant from the journal, she ran forward, Roxton and company chasing after her, and straight into a [[Ravenous Monster]].

===Chapter 3===
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch3.gif
|}
The Ravenous Monster appeared ready to strike at Lilian, but when it did it was at a giant [[Lady Blurg]] behind her. As the giant insects fought, Roxton hurried Lilian away from the danger. Roxton noted how Rourke may have been right in suggesting they leave as soon as they could. However, Hugo and Lilian could only exclaim how great the discovery of such creatures was, and the possibilities for their research, and rushed to investigate when they found a heard of giant [[Mootix]]. Noting they were herbivores (especially when one of the Mootix licked Roxton), Roxton and Hugo investigated their surroundings while Lilian fed them, discovering the skeleton of a giant meat eater. As Roxton remarked, it could only have been eaten by an even larger carnivore.

Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend. Roxton then plucked a pink flower and presented it to Lilian, who recognised it as a ''selerium taniverens'', a flower whose self defence mechanisms were quite "marvellous to behold". On hearing that its sap was extremely toxic when applied to the skin, Roxton hastily dropped the flower in surprise.

The party came upon a temple, made out of stone with a mysterious silver sheen Roxton did not recognise. They decided to use it as a temporary shelter against the strange creatures of the island, and broke the puzzle key to enter. Upon entering, one of them finds a metal object on the floor, which they place in their pocket.

===Chapter 4===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch4_bd.gif
|}
Inside the temple, the group discovers there used to be an occupant of the temple who dabbled in scientific studies, and the sketches left behind prove the creatures of the island to be giant [[Petpetpet]]s. While Hugo and Lilian marvel at the discover, Roxton finds a nest of giant Petpetpet eggs, which are soon discovered to be laid by a [[Monstrous Moach]] which has breached the temple in the past when it attacks them.

Escaping from the temple, Lilian trips when she gets caught in vines, prompting Roxton to save her and say, "How great are plants now, huh?" Up ahead, Hugo and Werther manage to safely cross over a tree bridge, while Roxton and Lilian run away from the Giant Moach which has caught up to them. The Monstrous Moach knocks the tree into the ravine, and Roxton manages to save them both by quickly grabbing onto a vine. Stuck in the walls of the ravine, Roxton tells Hugo to go on ahead to find Captain Rourke, and that they will find another way back while they fend off the Monstrous Moach.

==Plot participation==
Participation in the plot put users in the role of the adventurers, and walking through the completion of certain tasks.

===Chapter 1: Clean the Deck!===
Users had helped Scrap clean up the deck of the SS Primella, by arranging items in a certain way so as to fit in a grid, so that he could remain on board.

===Chapter 2: Battledome #1===
Users had to fight the insect-like Ravenous Monster in the one-player [[Battledome]], native to the Island, that was terrorising the adventurers.

===Chapter 3: Mysterious Stone Temple===
Users had to decode three levels of the Temple's locking system. Each lock was freed based on the correct pattern of symbols, which was determined [[Wikipedia:Mastermind (board game)|mastermind]]-fashion, much like [[Codebreakers]] or [[Time Tunnel]].

===Chapter 4: Battledome #2===
Users battled against the Monstrous Moach.

===Chapter 5: Maze===

===Chapter 6: Battledome #3: Petpetpet Hourde ===

==Trivia==
*The use of a book that will be filled as the plot progresses is a similar plot device to that used in the [[Altador Plot]].
*On the second page of the first comic, [[Garin]], [[Jacques]], [[Linae]] and [[Bruno]] can be seen in the background of the public house. Garin, notably, has his earrings in his right ear, which is likely to be an artist's mistake.
*In the background of the pub in the first comic, there is a painting similar to the [[Wikipedia:Dogs Playing Poker|Dogs Playing Poker]] series.
*An error would sometimes occur if the user left the ''Clean the Deck!'' puzzle before it was finished, and start over from the smallest grid. Refreshing the page brought the user back to the latest puzzle.
*The story has references to [[Wikipedia:The Lost World (Arthur Conan Doyle)|The Lost World]] by '''Arthur Conan Doyle'''. One of the hints is the character [[Roxton A. Colchester III]] who obviously was inspired by [[Wikipedia:Lord John Roxton|Lord John Roxton]].

Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

===Chapter 2===

|}
As Rourke has expected, the SS Primella was quickly plunged into a storm. Lasting three solid days, the visibility was so poor the adventurers did not know they were near land until it was upon them. The storm sucked them against the rocks, smashing a hole into the SS Primella's hull, and as a huge wave reared to swallow the ship, Rourke gave the order for a hasty 'abandon ship'.

Morning dawned, and the crew found themselves washed up onto the very island their sought, the storm having finally subsided. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and after some debate, the Captain resolved to remain and do his best to piece together what was left, while the others - excluding Scrap, who the Captain snatched up to help him - went to explore the island.

As they left, the Captain threatened that he would leave once his ship was repaired at the slightest hint of danger, but Scrap told Lilian he would prevent him from leaving until the Professor's party had returned.

They moved through the thick plant life with initial caution for what strange creatures may reside in the island, but danger or not, as Lilian spotted the rare plant from the journal, she ran forward, Roxton and company chasing after her, and straight into a [[Ravenous Monster]].

===Chapter 3===
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch3.gif
|}
The Ravenous Monster appeared ready to strike at Lilian, but when it did it was at a giant [[Lady Blurg]] behind her. As the giant insects fought, Roxton hurried Lilian away from the danger. Roxton noted how Rourke may have been right in suggesting they leave as soon as they could. However, Hugo and Lilian could only exclaim how great the discovery of such creatures was, and the possibilities for their research, and rushed to investigate when they found a heard of giant [[Mootix]]. Noting they were herbivores (especially when one of the Mootix licked Roxton), Roxton and Hugo investigated their surroundings while Lilian fed them, discovering the skeleton of a giant meat eater. As Roxton remarked, it could only have been eaten by an even larger carnivore.

Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend. Roxton then plucked a pink flower and presented it to Lilian, who recognised it as a ''selerium taniverens'', a flower whose self defence mechanisms were quite "marvellous to behold". On hearing that its sap was extremely toxic when applied to the skin, Roxton hastily dropped the flower in surprise.

The party came upon a temple, made out of stone with a mysterious silver sheen Roxton did not recognise. They decided to use it as a temporary shelter against the strange creatures of the island, and broke the puzzle key to enter. Upon entering, one of them finds a metal object on the floor, which they place in their pocket.

===Chapter 4===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch4_bd.gif
|}
Inside the temple, the group discovers there used to be an occupant of the temple who dabbled in scientific studies, and the sketches left behind prove the creatures of the island to be giant [[Petpetpet]]s. While Hugo and Lilian marvel at the discover, Roxton finds a nest of giant Petpetpet eggs, which are soon discovered to be laid by a [[Monstrous Moach]] which has breached the temple in the past when it attacks them.

Escaping from the temple, Lilian trips when she gets caught in vines, prompting Roxton to save her and say, "How great are plants now, huh?" Up ahead, Hugo and Werther manage to safely cross over a tree bridge, while Roxton and Lilian run away from the Giant Moach which has caught up to them. The Monstrous Moach knocks the tree into the ravine, and Roxton manages to save them both by quickly grabbing onto a vine. Stuck in the walls of the ravine, Roxton tells Hugo to go on ahead to find Captain Rourke, and that they will find another way back while they fend off the Monstrous Moach.

'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007.

==Plot summary==
===Chapter 1===
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity.

When they went to find a ship to sail them to their destination, they were directed to [[Captain Rourke]] by a [[Pirate]] [[Shoyru]], who said he would be the only one who would take such a dangerous task. Even Captain Rourke had misgivings, but with the encouragement of a large bag of [[Neopoints]], offered the services of his ship, the SS Primella. Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007.

==Plot summary==
===Chapter 1===
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity.

When they went to find a ship to sail them to their destination, they were directed to [[Captain Rourke]] by a [[Pirate]] [[Shoyru]], who said he would be the only one who would take such a dangerous task. Even Captain Rourke had misgivings, but with the encouragement of a large bag of [[Neopoints]], offered the services of his ship, the SS Primella. Gathering at the ship the following morning, Rourke noted the red sky and feared a storm coming. His confidence in Hugo's ability to navigate them to the island in the journal was shaken when the absent-minded Professor couldn't find his glasses above his eyes, but they set sail all the same.

Aboard the SS Primella, Roxton started a conversation with Lilian, who mentioned their could be a plant similar to the ''crysophyllum munusa'', whose fruit has healing properties, on the island based on the drawings she saw in the journal. Behind them, [[Werther]], despite his best efforts, failed to balance a stack of boxes on his head, and ploughed into a barrel, in which [[Scrap]], a stowaway, was hiding. Explaining he sneaked onto the boat to escape from a crime he didn't commit, Rourke was about to throw him into the brig before Roxton intervened, saying they had no time to be returning to mainland now that they were on their way, and he would take full responsibility for Scrap. Rourke would only allow it if Scrap paid for his trip by cleaning up the SS Primella, which he did. With Scrap now part of their expedition, Rourke focused on the coming storm.

===Chapter 2===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch2.gif
|}
As Rourke has expected, the SS Primella was quickly plunged into a storm. Lasting three solid days, the visibility was so poor the adventurers did not know they were near land until it was upon them. The storm sucked them against the rocks, smashing a hole into the SS Primella's hull, and as a huge wave reared to swallow the ship, Rourke gave the order for a hasty 'abandon ship'.

Morning dawned, and the crew found themselves washed up onto the very island their sought, the storm having finally subsided. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and after some debate, the Captain resolved to remain and do his best to piece together what was left, while the others - excluding Scrap, who the Captain snatched up to help him - went to explore the island.

As they left, the Captain threatened that he would leave once his ship was repaired at the slightest hint of danger, but Scrap told Lilian he would prevent him from leaving until the Professor's party had returned.

They moved through the thick plant life with initial caution for what strange creatures may reside in the island, but danger or not, as Lilian spotted the rare plant from the journal, she ran forward, Roxton and company chasing after her, and straight into a [[Ravenous Monster]].

===Chapter 3===
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch3.gif
|}
The Ravenous Monster appeared ready to strike at Lilian, but when it did it was at a giant [[Lady Blurg]] behind her. As the giant insects fought, Roxton hurried Lilian away from the danger. Roxton noted how Rourke may have been right in suggesting they leave as soon as they could. However, Hugo and Lilian could only exclaim how great the discovery of such creatures was, and the possibilities for their research, and rushed to investigate when they found a heard of giant [[Mootix]]. Noting they were herbivores (especially when one of the Mootix licked Roxton), Roxton and Hugo investigated their surroundings while Lilian fed them, discovering the skeleton of a giant meat eater. As Roxton remarked, it could only have been eaten by an even larger carnivore.

Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend. Roxton then plucked a pink flower and presented it to Lilian, who recognised it as a ''selerium taniverens'', a flower whose self defence mechanisms were quite "marvellous to behold". On hearing that its sap was extremely toxic when applied to the skin, Roxton hastily dropped the flower in surprise.

The party came upon a temple, made out of stone with a mysterious silver sheen Roxton did not recognise. They decided to use it as a temporary shelter against the strange creatures of the island, and broke the puzzle key to enter. Upon entering, one of them finds a metal object on the floor, which they place in their pocket.

===Chapter 4===
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/events/mip_current_events_ch4_bd.gif
|}
Inside the temple, the group discovers there used to be an occupant of the temple who dabbled in scientific studies, and the sketches left behind prove the creatures of the island to be giant [[Petpetpet]]s. While Hugo and Lilian marvel at the discover, Roxton finds a nest of giant Petpetpet eggs, which are soon discovered to be laid by a [[Monstrous Moach]] which has breached the temple in the past when it attacks them.

Escaping from the temple, Lilian trips when she gets caught in vines, prompting Roxton to save her and say, "How great are plants now, huh?" Up ahead, Hugo and Werther manage to safely cross over a tree bridge, while Roxton and Lilian run away from the Giant Moach which has caught up to them. The Monstrous Moach knocks the tree into the ravine, and Roxton manages to save them both by quickly grabbing onto a vine. Stuck in the walls of the ravine, Roxton tells Hugo to go on ahead to find Captain Rourke, and that they will find another way back while they fend off the Monstrous Moach.

Lutari

2007-06-20T18:55:58Z

Techocave3: /* See also */

{{Construction| reason=Need more information, colours, etc.}}
[[Image:Lutari blue baby.gif|frame|The Blue Lutari, one of the 5 original colours which appeared on the Neopets Image server a year in advance of it's official release.]]

The '''Lutari''' is an otter-like Neopet, released as a [[Limited Edition]] Neopet on April 19, 2006. Lutari are alert, friendly Neopets who enjoy playing games outside. They are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time in the water. Lutari get very upset at the thought of being left in the [[Neopian Pound]], and will run away to parts unknown if a user even tries.

The Neopet's release was long awaited as images of the Neopet in its four basic colours as well as [[Island]] have been on the image servers for almost a year. The first time a Lutari was officially seen was at the opening of the Happy Valley Ice Cream shop on December 21, 2004, whose shopkeeper is a Lutari, under the name [[Mr. Chipper]].

With the release of the Lutari, the launch of [[Lutari Island]], a new [[Neopian]] world which will only be accessible via mobile phones, is expected imminently. It is being developed by the company ''In-fusio'', but little else is known about Lutari Island, which has also been referred to as In-fusio Island. However, a picture of the land has appeared in the [[Neopets Magazine]], and many Lutari Island items have been found on the servers, including two [[petpet]]s.

==Colours==
As of April 2007, the Lutari can be in 6 different [[Rainbow Pool|colour]]s...

<table align="center"><tr><td width="200" valign="top">
*Blue - ''Natural''
*Green - ''Natural''
</td><td width="200" valign="top">
*[[Island]] - ''April 19, 2007''
*Pink - ''April 19, 2007''
</td><td width="200" valign="top">
*Red - ''Natural''
*Yellow - ''Natural''
</td></tr></table>

==Trivia==
*As of January 12, 2007, there are 15,080 Lutari populating [[Neopia]], ranking them 52nd in popularity.
*Was originally known as the '''Mok'''
*Users have expressed concern it may cost real money (through having to use a mobile phone) to acquire a Lutari as a pet, but this has since changed with the release of the Neopet.
*The Lutari is different from other Limited Edition Neopets as they are deleted if you attempt to abandon them, making transfer of the Neopet to a new owner impossible. There are [[Rumors]] that say the Lutari reappears in the create a petpage if pounded, but since no one is willing to pound one, it is unconfirmed. Made mention of in the editorial of issue 236 of the [[Neopian Times]].
*A [[trophy]] called the [[Lutari Talisman]] was added to all [[User Lookup]]s on June 28, 2006. So far users can only see their own collected beads, but it's possible [[The Neopets Team]] will let other users see another's collected beads soon.
*The Island colour was in the image database since ''(need date)'', but wasn't released until April 19, 2007.

A '''Petpetpet''' is a small insect similar to [[Wikipedia:Flea|fleas]] or other such creatures which act as pets for a [[Petpet]]. Many of them resemble insects, leading many to believe that these critters are actually parasites of Petpets, much like real-world fleas and ticks. As of May 31, 2006, there are 30 Petpetpets in existence.

Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. The Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section says, "Petpetpets are usually found by your Petpet. Very rarely, Petpets are able to catch one of these elusive little bugs in their mouth, and happily bring them back to their owners." If the sole source of the Petpetpets is indeed a random event, that would certainly help explain their rarity, and hence their high prices.

Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by following these guidelines...

#The Petpet that will become the host of the Petpetpet to is attached to the users active Neopet.
#The Petpetpet is in their inventory.
#Refreshing the inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.

Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the [[Pant Devil]], the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet.

If user wants to remove the Petpetpet, all they need to do is unequip the Petpet, which is achieved by clicking on the Petpet on the users [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Ref] page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it, making it a difficult action to take, and must make sure it's what they really want to go through.
