Conspiracy Theories Abroad

*Begin Transmission* This is special agent Tahu from the Neopian Intelligence
Agency (NIA). I was assigned to closely observe a threat that we have been watching
for a long period of time. We now know that this threat has evolved from minor
threat to major emergency. Unless action is quickly taken, this threat will quickly
overrun all of Neopia. What is this grave threat you ask? Garden Gnomes. Yes,
that cute, innocent looking Blue Kacheek Gnome sitting in your yard is actually
biding it's time, waiting for the right moment to pounce, and force all the Neopets
and Owners in Neopia to sit in gardens, frozen, like the Gnomes have been since
they were first created. In this very text, you will not only learn how to fight
this menace, but also learn about the creation of the Gnome, their ultimate plan,
some particular species of gnomes to watch out for, and how I discovered that
they were bent on world domination.
The Creation of the Gnome
It all started one fateful day of Awakening, Year 4. Dr. Sloth needed to spy on
the citizens of Neopia, so he created the semi-sentient garden gnome to do so
for him. Then he hacked into the Neopets computers, and successfully managed to
set up a special offer so that users could get free gnomes. Unfortunately for
him, he had to discontinue this plan because the gnomes just sat in users safety
deposit boxes until they made Neohome gardens. As this didn't happen for about
3 months, Dr. Sloth had to discontinue this particular plan. The garden gnomes
however, waited and then when Gardens came out, they started to fulfill their
original programming. They spied on the citizens, gathering information, until
they learned that not only had anyone realized that they were extremely powerful
computers, the Neopets team was also creating more of them. With this happening,
they needed only one thing to become the rulers of Neopia. They needed some way
to spy on the inside of Neopian life, inside people's Neohome that is. They needed…
the Gnome plushie. When the Neopets team came up with this idea, they wasted know
time installing computer chips in them, and making the plushies spy for them.
Now they had all they needed to put their ultimate plan into action, the plan
that they had been waiting to enact for 2 years. While they were building their
doomsday device, got a bonus to make it easier. Someone on the Neopets Staff came
up with the idea of kits that let you build your own gnome. While hopefully most
people will create gnomes without weapons, some of the more violent residents
of Neopia will be sure to create gnomes with all a manor of weaponry, making the
gnomes conquest all the easier.
The Gnomes Ultimate Plan
As a said in the first part of this transmission, gnomes wish to live in our
Neohome, and make us sit in their gardens. The only problem is that not everyone
has gnomes, so they needed a way to freeze every denizen of Neopia. They were
stumped, until Kreludor was revealed. Immediately some of them masqueraded as
Neopets, and snuck over to the moon. They brought with them all of the stolen
frozen weaponry they could find, and a large laser. After arriving on Kreludor,
they wandered around for a while, until they discovered the perfect spot for
their doomsday device. It was the one spot on the moon that was constantly facing
Neopia. They quickly set all of the ice weaponry into a large pile, and using
the laser, they molded it into a super giant mega large ice cannon! Not only
will this cannon permanently lower the temperature of Neopia, it will also command
every piece of frozen weaponry that was not stolen to turn and freeze their
owners, and then run rampant and freeze everyone else. With the temperature
lowered, they will stay frozen forever. It is only a matter of time until they
fire the cannon and freeze us all.
The only places on Neopia where Neopets and owners will not stay frozen are
the Lost Desert and Mystery Island. The gnomes solution for this is to deport
everyone in those worlds to a place that is colder. To do this, the gnomes will
send invading armies by boat to The Lost Desert and Mystery Island. These specially
trained gnomes will locate the highest points in these places, and erect a large
ice cannon there, one nearly the size of the one on the moon. With this, they
will freeze the residents, and transport them to one of the cold points where
they have transported all of the frozen denizens of Neopia. Then, the gnomes
will become the rulers, and all of the frozen former denizens of Neopia will
sit in the Gnomes gardens, waiting until someone comes and defeats the tyrannical
gnome rulers. So far in my research of the gnomes, I have only found one place
that they seem to have no plans to dominate. This lucky place is the Virtupets
Space Station. In Dr. Sloth's heyday, he put every security measure he could
on that station, including one that burns any gnome that tries to get on the
station (He made this one because he knew that the gnomes might one day want
to get revenge on the person that made them so not evil looking.) If the gnomes
manage to act out their plan, then the fate of all Neopia will depend on the
Space Station to save them and defeat the gnomes.
Some Gnomes to Be Particularly Wary of
Not every gnome will be able to help round up the Neopets and Owners. Some won't
be able to do anything at all. Unfortunately, the Neopets Team decided to make
some gnomes with built in weapons, so it is these you must watch out for. The
list of them in no particular order is as follows:
Fishing Kiko Gnome
Digging Kiko Gnome
Blugthak Gnome
Year Six Lupe Gnome
Halloween Blumaroo Gnome
Lord Kass Gnome
Bat Thing Gnome
Court Dancer Gnome
Halloween Tonu Gnome
Happy Tonu Gnome
Hunting Grarrl Gnome
Purple Zafara Gnome
Gardening Grundo Gnome
And last but not least, the Fishing Jetsam Gnome.
All of these gnomes have some manner of weaponry, and all are especially dangerous.
Also beware of the Gnome Shroom, because this plant is has been modified to,
when it is activated, make all passerby fall unconscious.
How to Fight the Gnome Menace
The best way to defeat a gnome is the simplest. Burn it! The best way to burn
is with any type of fire-based weaponry. To burn a Gnome, simply place the flaming
part of the weapon on the gnome. Wait. When it starts to burn, you were successful!
Now, go find more gnomes to burn before they enact their final plan. While burning
is the best preemptive action, the best thing to use when they start attacking
is any type of space weaponry that can be fired from a distance. If armed Gnomes
start invading the area you live in, use the space weaponry to destroy the attackers.
I personally have an auto-targeting telescope in my yard, designed to destroy
all Gnomes within the immediate vicinity. I also recommend having fire armor
around at all times, so when the Super Giant Mega Large Ice Cannon fires, you
won't get frozen.
How I discovered that Gnomes were bent on world domination
As I mentioned before, I am a member of the NIA. We have advanced tracking technology,
and we discovered where the Gnomes secret base is. We sent an elite team of
crack operatives to stake out the base. They never came back. So they sent me.
I managed to get to the base, which is located on… Argggg… The gnomes attack!…
No, not the fishing rod… "Resistance is Futile." No it's not. "Yes it is." How
did you get past my defense system? "Resistance is, and always has been, futile"
