CONGRATULATIONS TEAM VIRTUPETS

After a hard-fought tournament, we at the Neopian Times wanted to congratulate Team Virtupets for taking home the Altador Cup this year. We'd also be remiss if we didn't applaud Team Kreludor and Team Maraqua too, who claimed 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Well done to all the athletes who left everything on the field as well as the fans that supported and cheered their teams on!

Hi TNT, I just got the official cookbook that I had preorderd, YAY super excited! But I did not get any code or avatar with it. Maybe I remember it wrong, but I have read on the neopets website that you would get an avatar if you would preorder the book, which I did. That was my question, and now to something completely different: I absolutely love the photos and the pictures in the cookbook. Very very well done! ~waffchan
So happy to hear you are enjoying the Neopets Cookbook as much as we are! You are remembering correctly that the cookbook comes with an exclusive avatar. To claim your avatar, you just need to use a Grundo's Warehouse redemption code included in the Cookbook. You can find this code towards the bottom of the last page! ~~Aesop

Dear TNT, We need a rock petpetpet called Pebble. That is all. ~puter809
As a hardcore Rock fan myself, I think a little pebble pal would be awesome! /hj ~~Stone

Hi *shoves some cookies* Can the new pride handheld items be rezoned to be a 'left-hand-item' like the handheld pride flag? I'd love to put the handheld lesbian flag on my pet but the right-hand front zoning messes up the outfit :( ~welpie2000
Hi *shoves cookies in mouth* We’ve made the fix to all of the pride flag handhelds! Happy customizing! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

Hi, I saw the Half Eaten Sandwich Left on Desk in the Staff Cup prize shop & immediately thought about Ross Gellers Thanksgiving sandwich & how he lost it when his boss said he ate only part of his sandwich & threw the rest of it away. Was it inspired by this or did this happen to one of you, lol? ~kimpossibleluvr
Haha, luckily, I have never experienced someone eating my sandwich. But there was once a half eaten sandwich that no one would take claim of and somehow haunted the office for weeks! Never leave your food out too long, kids. Ya just might create a food ghost! /j ~~Stone

Hello! Could you settle an argument for me: How do you pronounce yooyuball? I've been saying you-you, but my friend says I'm wrong and it should be yo-you. Are either of us correct? ~lauren1515
You-you are right-right! Since I've been on the Neopets Team (coming up on 4 years now), I've only heard it internally pronounced as "you-you ball"! So it sounds like you've been using the correct pronunciation (: ~~Aesop

hey tnt!!! i've recently gotten back into neopets from when i was a little kid, and with that it's re-sparked my interest in the altador cup. i'm loving the interviews you do with some of the players in the neopian times!! but i was curious if you guys had ever considered showing stuff the players do in the off-season? not necessarily an overbearing amount, but like just a little fact here and there. or even with the other characters on the site, like ylana or garin! i really love learning more about these characters in their day-to-day lives. ~xirointerest
What great timing! Quick Questions has actually decided to do interviews throughout the year! Please feel free to send in editorial questions requesting individuals you would like to learn more about, and Quick Questions will do their best to sit down with them! /gen ~~Stone


HAPPY THOUGHTS

I don't know if this is the proper place to submit this, but I just wanted to say the recent interview with Antola Maeir warmed my heart. I'm not usually one to even read the Times, but it makes me so happy as a trans player that not only can we show our pride with our pets in so many ways with the various wearables (LOVE those by the way, I can never have enough of them), but the people of Neopia are too! You have no idea how much it means to us to see a Neopian speak openly about transitioning and wearing the flag. Thank you Antola, and thank you Neopian Times! (And to all the hopeful trans Neopets out there who saw the price of Strange Potions on the user shop market and lost all hope, don't worry! There's a cheaper way! While the Secret Lab Ray itself can do all sorts of things, if you get that Scientist into the Battledome, he has a Strange Potion himself, and with a little luck, he'll use it on you free of charge!) ~sapphire_sapphic

I love how the new ixi Death Outfit has a version for the baby ixi as well! Please continue to make species-specific baby clothes. It's a great way to show our littlest neopets some love! ~digitally_cool

The new candy Flotsam is amazing! Looks just like a fun aquatic animal themed gummy candy I always have to grab from the gas station. Just amazing guys! Thank you :D ~queen_potema The new candy Flotsam is amazing! Looks just like a fun aquatic animal themed gummy candy I always have to grab from the gas station. Just amazing guys! Thank you :D
