Uber-Negg-Pixie is collecting Neggs... : Lots of Neggs were claimed yesterday from this Pixie. ^_~ Hope you didn't miss her yesterday! See you next time. Also, don't forget to sign up to the Pixie of Nature. A couple more Ubers will be coming soon when I have time to post them -- yay!

Uber-Negg-Pixie needs your help! : I know I'm not supposed to be proclaiming this, but Uber-Pixie Quests are new in TNO, and I just want to give you a chance to notice them. I only see a couple members who have quests in their shops. Remember, you need to have the code in your shop! Ack! I may not be online when you offer. Just let it sit, and I'll be wif ya later. ^_^

Weekly Raffle update : Now you can find out how it is a winner is actually picked. ::Runs away and hides:: Fenn told me to do it that way!

New Pointless Contest! : This one isn't as easy as last time, but it can still be found easily.

Crazy girl! ^_~ joshuaandlaura isn't a member of TNO, but is a very warm person who sends much love with her heaping donations. If you could thank her for me too, I'd appreciate it.

Party and Charity/Drive suggestion forms are up! : Indeed they are. ^_~ Some of the Council want to plan a get-together or something, at least, to celebrate the reopening of the Public TNO. Any suggestions welcome.

New Mystery Pic! : Congrats to seafeeded for winning the last one! She's really collecting those trophies, haha!

Voting on for Decorating Contest! : Haha, these two people are guaranteed a trophy since it goes up to 3rd Place, but it's a start for this contest. ^_~ Enter away at any time for the next Decorating Contest.

Voting on for Rhyme Contest! : Only four entries this time, but we're on our way, hehe. Go on, go on, vote! And dont forget to enter the next rhyme, which is also up.

Orphaned Faerie and Faerie Brew Quests made harder : I've been informed that people can just use neoitems.net to easily figure out the clues, so I've made it so the clues are out of my head instead of the item description, so you'll have to put your noggin to work. ^_^ Congrats to lovely_lupes12 for winning a Purple Peophin Morphing Potion and seafeeded for winning 2 codestones and ingredient leftovers! (Winners are posted on the right side of the site.)

Help needed with TNO BD Storage : Preferably someone who's had experience running TNO Guild shops before. ^_~ Drop me a line if interested. Keep in mind that I will probably go with more than one person, so you also have to work well with others.

TNO Toy Chest has opened up! : Funny story: I started the account tno_toychest a while ago, but they still haven't sent me the activation code, so seafeeded opened up tno_toyshop for me, and is now running it with lovely_lupes12 -- yay!

Billopan now plays a silly game with you! : I also fixed a few of his more obvious jerkish responses. Thanks to the people who were testing him out yesterday -- I really appreciate it. If you have time, please log on and talk to him some more, so I can add more variables to ol' Billo. ^_~ And try to find that ridiculous game he plays. Any suggestions are welcome.

New Golden Member : Ahem... yes... it's um... me. ::blushes:: Thank you, those who recommended me. I'm flattered stupid. ^_^;; Don't forget to recommend someone else who has struck you as simply outstanding.

Several more member birthdays : Have you found a birthday buddy yet? (The answer is no, since I haven't received any pair forms yet, haha.)

AIM users needed to build Billopan! : I'm making a bot named Billopan so people can talk to him on AIM. However, I haven't the time to customize him all that much, and the default personality's, well... kind of a jerk. So if you could sign on to AIM and talk to him (sn: Billopan, duh, hehe), and send me any suggestions to what he should say to different phrases, etc. and where he's most jerkish, I'd really really appreciate it! Thanks!

Thank you for donating! : Thank you the people who donated to the shop and via the Trading Lots. They will be very helpful in funding contests for the Guild and more. ^_^

New Uber-Pixie! : anafaerie has generously (and ambitiously) volunteered as the first new Uber-Pixie. It's a limited quest, though, so hurry and sign up to be an official quester for the Pixie of Nature.

New Forums! : They have been moved from ezboards. This one's got a whole lot less pop-up ads -- blech! Please register and spam there instead of the message boards. ^_~ And yes, I'm looking to my most trusted people to moderate for me.... Ask only if I know and trust you.

Rhyme Contest is up and running! : Try to be creative and not rhyme the most obvious thing. ^_^ It'll increase your chance of getting votes! Good luck!

It's also at the left nav bar of every page on this site, if you scroll down to "miscellaneous."

Faerie Brew Quest is up and running! : What could she be brewing? That Shadow Faerie sure is shady.... Help her out, and she just might bottle some up and give you a taste.... Only for foster members. Thanks to thundy_chan for thinking up the clues for me -- saved me time, ya did. ^_~

Orphaned Faerie Quest is up and running! : Awwww, poor wittle orphan.... Give her a hand and she'll give your pet something helpful too! This quest is only for foster members.

New Golden Members : And the award goes to... ryoohki12389, seafeeded, and emeraldsongs! Sorry to sea and emeralds for losing your recommendations.... I'll get them back sooner or later. Now go grab your trophies! Everyone else, feel free to add to their Award pages.

Help! : I accidentally deleted a few recommendations for the Golden Member Award. I remembered who most of them were, and managed to get re-recommendations, but I completely forgot the people who recommended seafeeded! So if you were one of them, please send again. Don't worry, she already knows she won the award. ^_~ UPDATE: Bahh, it turns out I also lost one of emeralds' recommendations. Any help?

New Golden Walnut Trophy : If you've ever been awarded Golden Walnut by the TNO Faerie (tno_faerie), now there's a little golden something for ya to show all of Neopia your specialness!

NeoPets Trivia is up and running! : Thanks to seafeeded for the questions -- saved me the time of thinking them up myself! ^_~ Sea's being veeery helpful today -- someone thank her more for me.

Shop Events to proclaim your adoptee : (and the Guild too, hehe) I completely forgot that I had those up, but gulp_she's shop and Izzi's Tonu, Xoiti reminded me. ^_^ If anyone has any more ideas on more shop events, let me know peese.

Golden Member Awards are up! : Recommend someone that you think deserves a Golden Member Award! It's a little harder to get one this time -- you need three recommendations instead of one (last time it was just a little crazy).

Winners of Pointless Contest : ryoohki12389 won an Apis for 1st Place, and gulp_she won 1,000 NP as the Bonus. Don't forget to pick up your trophies!

Shop Design Contest is up and running! : Enter away! Let's see those prettyful designs you've made! Don't forget to read the rules -- good luck!

Added pic pose to Registration Form : Now you can pose your adoptee when you send him/her in to be posted. ^_~ I also made the adoptee pics bigger than the small size I've been using.

Uber-Pixie Quests are up! : Currently, it's just the Uber-Negg-Pixie (me), and it's open-ended, so paste away! ^_^ If you want to be an Uber-Pixie, get ready for a big job. (I like big jobs, hehe.)

Big thank you to lanie72! : Who made the first donation via Donation Lot. If you have time, please neomail her a thank you! (No, I will not be doing this every time someone donates, hehe. This is just momentous. ^_~ )

Big thank you to fairy_yanzi! : He selflessly donated 10,000 NP at the Donation Shop to help support the Orphanage. If you have time, please neomail him a thank you.

Added Guild Chat and Adoption Chat : Haha, I forgot about those.... Now they're actually there for people to use. ^_~ Remember that the Adoption Chat is only for people adopting or adopting out, so it avoids the clutter of general chat.

Added "farewells" : I know, those adoptions listed on the right weren't on Monday, but I just needed some examples. Now, when you send in an update form (and your pet was adopted out), you can also say a special farewell to them that will be posted on the site. ^_^ The one shown is a default.

Birthdays are up! : Send in your birthdate to be posted in the Guild calendar. Of course... only members are allowed to do this. After a couple weeks or so, check back to see if you want to buddy up with anyone. ^_^

Mystery Pic is up and running! : Ooooo... what can it be? Search high and low for this one. It's a toughy!

Lucky Numbers is up and running! : What's this? Another new game? It's not as easy as it sounds, but if you're not one into skill games, this is your calling, hehe.

Haiku Contest is up and running! : Don't worry -- it explains what a haiku is in the rules, in case you don't already know. ^_~ They're neat little poems that anyone can do -- yes, even you!

Decorating Contest is up and running! : This one will probably also take some time to catch on, but at least you can enter now. ^_~

Beauty Contest is up and running! : I anticipate that this one will take a while before it catches on, but you can go ahead and send in your entries anyway, and when I get enough, voting will begin.

Note about new Private Guild ranks : They do not have to be the same for everyone. I realized that divving up invitation abilities isn't possible in Guilds yet, so just please do not invite if you're not on Council there, otay? You can suggest any Truly Nobles who should be invited to Council, but please don't invite yourself, as being in the Private Guild is in effect a rank raise. So brainstorm five new rank names for yourselves, not one. ^_~
