The Neopian Times Editorial Thread

[My name is Yoshikage Kira]

I'm not a big jetsam fan but considering how nice all the new colors have been lately (with one regrettable mutant exception) I'm really excited to see some new royal pets. I believe I speak on behalf of all four of us out there that like ogrins when I say it'd be neat to see them get royal versions in December as well

Please log in to view spoilers.

Hopefully Neo can ride out to February so we get Royal Chias

seriously don't know thy its taken so long it seems like the obvious choice

wow what was it like
three? whole editorials since the last time someone asked/complained about bc spam in the quest board? new record?

From the art chat. Looks like it�s not the someone complaining to blame, but TNT prioritizing a giant backlog while ignoring all new and pertinent questions? Feels like.. and hear me out..... they�d get through that faster if they deleted some duplicate questions instead of publishing them as one of like 4 answers every issue*

*I was going to say every week but we�ve fallen out of that even

[Mangle]

I actually did see that board, i love winnie she's amazing so i was surprised to see the question in the editorial tbh
but makes sense
i honestly just thought that tnt picked 5 questions a week from the weekly submission box and emptied the rest into the trash
but i guess handpicking easy to answer questions from whenever they were submitted is easier than actually answering anything important

[TsUNaMy WaVe]

Not gonna lie when I started to read that Royal question I was sure it was gonna be about UCs

New Editorial is up, not that there is much to it..

COSMIC COLLAB

Hello readers, Aesop here! Welcome to the Cosmic Collab Edition of the Neopian Times. I had a blast putting together this collab edition, and wanted to personally thank everyone for submitting some of the most spectacular stories I have ever had the pleasure of reviewing! I was captivated by the marvellous articles, stories, and comics everyone submitted to the Times and absolutely blown away by the creativity shown in the Cosmic Art Gallery and Poetry Contest! Neopia certainly has some very talented residents I also wanted to give a special thanks to parody_ham for her help planning this collab!
Also, don't forget that we will be having a mobile edition editorial in issue 916. So make sure you send in all of your mobile questions before next Friday!

Hello TNT! I was planning to make a gallery on my side account, since I already have one on my main. Some of the items I wanted to keep on that gallery were the worms that players can get by going around Moltara. However, they are labeled 'no trade', so I can't send them from my main account. Can I collect those worms on my side? Or would that be against the rules? I do NOT intend to use them to get Red Moltites, I just want to display them on my gallery. Thank you, and I hope you are all having a nice day! c: ~~maga_m
Hello! Since those are no trade, you should be fine collecting those on a side for your gallery. Good luck!!

Would be legit if I help a friend in the creation of a comic/history to help him with pen avatar? ~~poor4ever
Sure! Collaborations are absolutely allowed for NT submissions. Just be sure to list your collaborator in the "Add any comments about your submission here" text box! That way we can ensure your friend gets the credit they deserve

The type of item that the Unis Clothing Shopkeeper Cupcake is labeled as is clothes, yet it's obviously a food item. Maybe get Donny on that?~~jdb1984
Fixed!

HAPPY THOUGHTS

Hi Aesop (and all at TNT) - I want to congratulate and thank you for making the effort to give us CC this year (even if in a less popular format) despite your Herculean task of the site conversion. I just wanted to point out that CC is for many of us the major event of the year, as it is the greatest motivator for buying/selling both in shops & auctions, plus playing dailies, and the strategy to prepare for CC is non-stop interest and fun for the whole year. We really hope that Perks will be back next year and maybe a fair point count for sticky snowballs. It would also be great if we could donate more than 15 items at a time. Anyway, CHAPEAU for all you do for us. ~~pilonet_t62

Hi Aesop! I wanted to thank you all for making an out-of-this-world collab issue. I can't wait to galaxy all the entries today! I bet it'll be so jam-packed that it'll be hard to find enough space for them all! You're the best editor to planet and we'll always be seeing stars every time we think back on today. One quick request: can we blast off the Neopian Times with Mr. Coconut again?~~ parody_ham

its so empty this week.... And during the time everyone is screaming for more communication from the neopets team

3 question does NOT equal communication TNT

Someday I'm going to total up the number of times they answer the same stupid ass question rephrased because god forbid someone look something as simple as "can you collaborate on Neopian times entries" up.

I hate every single person that "works" on The Neopian Times.

Add Donny fixes to the list, because why answer an actual question and fix items behind the scenes when you can try to score some brownie points by being like "See! We totally listen and fix stuff when you ask!"


Going to add to this because its just so frustrating. They have time to do special edition issues and skip the NT for weeks at a time but don't have any decent questions for the editorial? Why are they so averse to just being even slightly decent. ugh.

Feels like cherry picking the good things people say about CC. Just gotta show everyone else that there could be 'some' people who agree with their work.
