 | The Extravagance of LifeThey spoke of Adrian's masterpiece, handcrafted by him and funded by the king: the Wheel of Extravagance. Created from exquisite gold and bronze, it was designed as a tourist attraction for the city. A Neopian could pay one hundred thousand Neopoints to spin the wheel, and depending on where it landed, they won a prize. "And you made sure to make the right parts heavier?" Jazan questioned.

They say they want a mechanical hand to come out when someone pulls the lever, and take Neopoints from the person who pulled it."
by airickuh |  | The Once-Forgotten ShoreLoud enough for the whole crew to hear, he announced, "Prepare to land on that shore." Tornin the navigator looked down at his map, then back up to the shore. Back down to the map, then back up to the shore. He decided he wasn't mistaken. "Captain, I think it would be very unwise to land here."

It was the last day of vacation and she had come to the Auction House with her best friend, Callie, in hopes of buying something new and exciting. But the sun was sinking lower in the sky, the crowds around the Auction House were starting to thin out, and Serena had not spent any of her Neopoints yet.

"Perfect," King Jazan remarked, observing the object from top to bottom. "It's magnificent."
"Well, I do what I can," Adrian the Tonu said proudly. "But it satisfies you?"
"Very much so. This should bring wonderful income to the city of Qasala."

"And you made sure to make the right parts heavier?" Jazan questioned.
"Yes, and I spun it one hundred times to check it. Eighty spins were profitable for Qasala. The odds of the spinner winning are just good enough that people will keep coming, but bad enough that we can make plenty of money."
"Adrian, you're a wonderful person to employ. You designed this, you built it, you learned how to boost the stats of spinners... What would I do without you?"

 Educational Games on Neopets
After doing some research on what games I believe would have some educational factors with in the Neopian world, I comprised a list of games that will help with math, language and spelling, and problem-solving ablilities. Children sometimes struggle with these things, but these games will make it a fun and addictive experience.

 Only On Neopets!
Inspired, I thought it would be cool to collect a list of Neopian quirks that are unique to the players on this site and no other. Plus, I love having an excuse to talk on the Neoboards. It's my favorite form of entertainment on here! I headed to the Neoboards and asked the players: "What are your quirks on Neopets, quirks that are unique to this site?" I got many interesting replies!
