Quote of the Week


Everyone knows you can't have your cake and eat it too. I am sure the dark faerie who graced Aisha Day with her repugnant presence was a firm believer in this, as the first thing she did upon arrival was smash the cake in with one well-placed, high-heeled boot.


Chill Out, Neopia



Do you ever find yourself building a routine? Every day, you log on, go straight to Turmac Roll and work your way through all your favourite games until you're at Kiko Match II? Do you find that you play each game three times over until you're sick of it? And by the end, you're rolling in the NP, but it felt like a chore?

"Cheaters Never Prosper" by mamasimios and dollgirl44
It was with horror and shame that she discovered, one day, that her father had instructed everyone to lose to the young Princess on purpose.
