Dear TNT, Your FAQ says that lab ray cookies can be used on a side account, but the description of the lab ray cookies says "This cookie can only be used on main accounts". Could you please clarify which one is correct and adjust the description if the cookie would be allowed on sides? Thank you in advance! ~spookygirafke
Hello! We have revised the description to include the mention of “side accounts”! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Sorry this a minor thing but it bugs me. Can the Mutant Varwolf Transmogrification Potion be renamed to just Varwolf Transmogrification Potion to match the other Transmog potions? ~anonymous
Hi!
This has been fixed! Thank you for writing in!

A new Love Bomb? Very nice! but where will it restock? Should I be refreshing at the Defence Magic Shop, or does guardian of Battle Magic have it? Thanks. ~_vap3_
The Love Bomb can be found at the Battle Magic Shop! ~~ TNT Sunpotato
Hi! Firstly, I want to say how much love the inclusivity on the site! That said, would y'all be willing to include an any/all option in the pronoun sticker pack, or perhaps release a "Pronouns 2" sticker pack with any/all and other Neopronouns? Whilst on the subject of sticker packs, do old sticker packs ever come back to the mall, or is it a "once they're gone, they're gone" kind of thing? ~raztorsunshine
Hello! Thanks for writing in, we think this is a great idea! And yes, sticker packs will definitely be returning in the NC Mall :)) So if you’ve ever had your eye on any old favourites, then you should expect to see them return around springtime!

I’m concerned about the new creative contest that will be held over social media. I don’t want to set my account to public, share my username, or have to create a social media account to participate… ~anonymous
Hosting a form of the random contest over social media is something our team is excited about to help us increase engagement with Neopets in modern ways (you know, with the kids these days) to help as part of our marketing efforts to get new players and also as a fun way for you all to be creative and show off your work!! I (as a lurker myself) understand the concerns brought up around social media and while we can’t give away too much right now we looking into ways we can allow private accounts to participate and have usernames only be shared with the staff judging the contests. Keep an eye on our social media pages or the Neopets news portal for more info coming soon! ~~TNT Luna
***ASK ADLER***
Hi Adler! Thank you for all the hard work you guys at TNT do! I have a suggestion. I think creative contests are an important and beloved site feature that should be preserved as much as possible. Why not let user volunteers judge the creative contests? I'm sure plenty of people would love to help! Maybe let the users vote on the judges, and/or rotate judges frequently for fairness? ~_hotpinkdiamonds_
Hello _hotpinkdiamonds_!
Thank you for the suggestion. We have considered this and while we appreciate the enthusiasm to help, unfortunately there are some challenges with this. We have to consider fairness with judging, possible botting, and user-access to our admin tool. We do our best to ensure fairness across contests on the site and are currently implementing further back-end processes to ensure equal opportunities for winning. However, never say never! It's something we are still looking into the possibility of!

Hello hello Adler! Last editorial, you mentioned that you were already implementing caps for creative contest submissions. As someone who enters said contests, I have concerns. What do you mean by capping? Like do you mean a certain amount of submissions per round? Or do you mean something like "if you have x amount of trophies, you can't enter anymore"? ~chasing_stars44
Hello chasing_stars44!
Capping submissions means that a user will only be able to submit a certain number of entries per round. Spamming entries has been prevalent and it causes issues with fairness. We can see up to a quarter of blank or duplicate submissions. Our intention with capping is to help solve that issue and to ultimately ensure to users that contests are not being spammed and that each user has an equal opportunity to win.

“Storytelling once a month” is too vague. Currently its every two weeks with a winner every weekday. Is it now once a month with a winner every weekday or is it one winner a month? ~anonymous
Hi there!
Storytelling currently runs every weekday. This is being reduced to now run once a month, over a two-week, weekday period (10 days), which means there will be 10 winners a month. Part of the reason for this includes the fact that we see low participation and AI submissions. It takes our team a longer time to parse through the AI submissions, duplicate entries, sparse entries, etc. If we see an influx of participants and valid submissions, we would be open to increasing the frequency of this contest again!

What does this art gallery adjustment means for the random contest Avatar and the handmade days? ~anonymous
Handmade Art Gallery Day will continue to occur once a month in the Art Gallery Schedule. The winners of those specific Handmade Art Gallery days will still continue to be granted the Random Contest Avatar. We always look forward to all the creative, handmade Neopets creations!

Gallery spotlight wasn’t mentioned, does this mean it is running as normal or did TNT forget about it and is it cancelled? ~anonymous
Hi there!
Don’t worry, we did not forget. No changes are planned for Gallery Contest and it will continue to run as normal.

Now that poetry is tied to the NT... are users still awarded poetry trophies or NT trophies? The NT only allows one acceptance per issue, so if a user makes it into the NT with a comic does this mean they can not win poetry as well (or vice versa)? ~anonymous
Hello!
With Poetry moving to Neopian Times, users will now receive both Poetry rewards and NT trophies and prizes- we are even looking into adding an avatar for winners! While a user can only be published into each issue once, you are still allowed to submit multiple times across multiple categories, however, please note that we will be capping submissions at 5 per issue, which allows you to enter each category should you choose.

HAPPY THOUGHTS
Hello, I know it's been some time but i would like to thank you again and direct your attention to the BD item "Snow with Small Rocks". You all created this one in late 2024 but the point still stands: This ones format, where it Attacks and Blocks, is great for our "VS" Battledome Match. Simple yet sweet. Please make more that attack and block two icon types. ~discoleon
