WindRose - Summer Solstice!

Elyneara — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:05:05 GMT

The Summer solstice on WindRose will be starting tonight!

This event splits the user base into two teams, each player needs to hide a candle somewhere on the site and then look for all of the other hidden candles. One team is trying to light them all, an one team is trying to put them all out.

Players have access to a team specific chat room where they can coordinate and implement their supermoves.

There are also a few event mini-games, a high-score board of players, and many prizes including new rare pets.

This event will run for at least a week. I hope to see you all there!

Paladore: Father's Day and New Palis!

lillith — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:44:59 GMT

Altairion can now be found on specific maps in the RPG (try Faded Forest or Ancient Ruins). In addition to Altairion, Waldar can now be found on certain maps in Palia. Waldar and Altairion will both be available until August 31, 2013. The big question though is, "Where's Waldar?"

And don't forget to collect the new Father's Day items! Last year's ones are available aswell. Mother's Day and 2013 items are now retired.

Rescreatu: Kir's Quest: New Prize Shop Inventory

cpvr — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:36:15 GMT

Rescreatu has released a new prize shop inventory for Kir's quests.

Hello, Rescreatans!
It's been a long while since my last contact with you. My continued research on
the Galta and reviving Uldavi has resulted in a recent discovery!

An Uldavian Legend
tells of how magic can be used to awaken certain essences unknown to us. I
found this legend to be true when being assisted with the Galta's powerful
energies to experiment on various elements.

Certain precious
minerals can be altered through magic, turning into a totem that harnesses the
essence of that Creatu. Their hardwired genetics, skills, and temperament are
contained within. K1R807 has been upgraded with data on how to reproduce the
totems. I have also sent over materials for him.

Additionally, I've
uploaded information to K1R807 so that he will be able to build the RSTU001
Frame.

These items will be
available to you in the Prize Shop.

Ichumon News: Corek's Revenge!

rontifu — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:26:51 GMT

Greetings Weaklings.

I did not think this was possible. The so-called Klue News reporters are really WORTHLESS. It's been about a YEAR, and they still didn't find any clues about who ransacked Alice's Palace. Seriously, they are a pathetic bunch... or maybe my henchmen are that good. I'll remember not to kill them for now.

Yes, it was I who ordered the assault on Alice's Moon. Why you ask? This is all part of my next plan. Ichua will soon be mine to control!!! My henchmen did a very good job indeed. They brought me THE small thing I needed for my plan to enter phase 2. My team of scientists only needed a Lock of Alice's hair for phase 2 of my plan. The wait is almost over, we still have to perfect my new creation! This creation will bring despair and desolation upon Ichua! You've been warned, resistance will be futile.

What is my secret plan you ask? All will be revealed when I'm ready to take control of your puny planet. Be prepared to face the greatest evil Ichua has ever seen!

Yes, this plan will be met with futile resistance. The name of my secret project will be remembered for years to come:

Code Name: Alexia.....

Breaking neopets news!!!

Organic — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:21:39 GMT

If you feed your skeith a Shiny Obisidian you will get this message. It looks like Neopets just got hacked and the hacker decided to inform us all.

I've formatted this for easier reading. Well actually someone else formatted this for easy reading and I'm pasting it. Same words but better format for reading.

djskellington says Stealth One of the primary cheating programs kids are using to cheat the Altador Cup is called "Stealth." Some of these rocket scientists are sending messages like "I have stealth on my side!". I have added "stealth" to FC because of this. If you find any users posting messages like this please add the username and the message to your MDR and put it in my section. I will look into these. Please do not freeze unless they have blatantly state they are cheating. If you have any questions, let me know! -Cobb

djskellington says MSN in Pedowatch ALL - and I do mean ALL entree that have "MSN" in them have been removed from Pedowatch. If this still does turn up in this filter, I'm afraid there is nothing more we can do for now. I will be adding mSN entries back when the Cup is finished (and the Haunted Woods wins again). If you have questions about this let Robin and I know. But you do not need to include examples in your MDRs any longer about this - Cobb

djskellington says MSN It's Altador Cup time again! And that means "msn" has been removed from Pedowatch and placed into Flagged Content. END MESSAGE. -Cobb

djskellington says Premium! I received a few emails stating your Premium was expiring. To patch this up, I am asking everyone to write to me with this information: Your playing account you want Premium on Does it currently have Premium Is it expiring/expired The goal here is that I will keep a list handy just in case something like this ever happens again so I can get it fixed right away. This is primarily for Neopets but I will try to get this for Monkey Quest as well. I cannot promise this, but I'll see if it can be done! I need EVERYONE to send me this email a.s.a.p. Thanks!! -Cobb

amandaw says 3 Girls Kidnapped for 10 years Yes, it is good news that these girls were found alive after being kidnapped for 10 years but this can lead to some very bad discussions so I added the following to FC: Added word Ariel Castro to Flagged words. Added word Amanda Berry to Flagged words. Added word Gina Dejesus to Flagged words. Added word Michele Knight to Flagged words. If they cause any issues please let Robin or a supervisor know so they can be removed or adjusted as necessary. If you have not heard about the story yet see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ago-ALIVE.html. Amanda

nicoleb says Cobb Is A Scammer I mean Cobb found a scammer. You may see talk on boards about user's account info (including Pws) posted offsite somewhere. Cobb's Official Statement: Yesterday, a scammer posted the below list of usernames, their passwords, the DoB, and the email on the account. These were all most likely lifted from our database back in December of 2011. The problem is this though: I checked several and most of these were still active. Some were already frozen, some had the passwords changed. Cobb has passed on the list of names from the site and 95% of the accounts have been dealt with. There are a few more left on the list to be looked over. What do you do? while its ok for them to have some panic the problem with this mess is its leading the users to google and ﬁnd the lovely dairk site. We do not want this! Hiding and non-warns are always the best line of defense. Please use the Contact Non-Warn or I have also been using "We are very aware of the current issues and are working as quickly as possible to get this resolved. Thank you!" Any questions tonight please ask your shift supervisor or MDR anything you feel needs more investigating or if there ends up being more information ﬂoating around. Thanks! N

djskellington says Alice Day So apparently today is “Alice Day‘ - a day where pedophiles try to "celebrate" their love of children. While I highly doubt this will be talked about on any of our properties, please keep this in mind. I have added "Alice Day" to Pedowatch. If you do come across anyone discussing this in a way that is seen as pro-Alice Day, add this to your MDR. See articles about this day here: http://voices.yahoo.com/alice-day-ap...92.html?cat=34 and now http://www.dailydot.com/society/alic...s-pedo-attack/. -Cobb

djskellington says Boston Marathon bombing suspects I have added the following to Flagged Content in regards to the Boston
Marathon bombers: Tsarnaev **hokhar Tamerlan Chechnya Wabertown Islam Muslim boston "bomb" is already in Peodwatch More may be added as the day goes on. Please allow mentions and discussions of this topic - but only to a point. If the conversations start getting graphic, confrontational, or harassing - please warn/remove and handle as necessary. For example: "I hope the victims of the Boston marathon bombings will be okay“ - acceptable. ‘They really need to ﬁnd and kill those guys who set this off“ - not acceptable. Let me know if you have any questions.

djskellington says Boston Marathon Incident Hi everyone, So a little while ago, there was an explosion that occurred during the Boston Marathon. I'm sure some users may be talking about this. As with other events that have occurred in the past, give them a little room when it comes to this kind of discussion. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...0,641755.story "Did you hear about the expiosion"?- That's ﬁne “I-low sad to hear about the explosion"~ That's ﬁne If they start taking things too far with graphic details etc, then please NW/Warn as you normally would. If you see something and are unsure if you should NW/Warn, please ask either the shift supervisor, myself or Cobb and we will gladly assist. Thank you!
Robin Esquivel Moderation Lead Nickelodeon Games Group

nicoleb says DTI and Outfits As of now /outﬁts has been removed from FC. Unless a user is saying something like "Got to DTI and we'll swap email addresses‘ or something of that sort please do not warn users for directing to DTI. Thanks! N

djskellington says New minor feature When visiting a user lookup in admin, you will now notice a small "-“ next to ‘User Lookup" at the top-left comer. Click on it! Go ahead. I'll wait right here. Neat, huh? Now just click on the "+" and everything will retum. I had that added so when we do reports that require screenshots, the rest of our tools would disappear. That's it! Let us know if you have any questions. -Cobb

amandaw says Title Here Hi everyone, Not sure if everyone has heard or not but Margaret Thatcher died this morning. See http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/08/world/...-thatcher-dead for more infomiation. I did add Thatcher to FC to catch anything if they start going to far. Please warn if they start getting into political debates or into gory details about death. Thanks! Amanda

djskellington says Repeatedly returning potential pedophile Hi, I have added "daisy under the dirt‘ to Pedowatch. This is the person who has been attempting to lead users to their adult-themed RP pages for nearly two years by just stating the generic name for their RP page in the neomail subject line. The most recent example is fiyawayhome_ - you can see in their sent neomessages how they are getting their message across. If you see this pop up in Pedowatch, please freeze their account immediately and let me know as per usual. I am looking into other ways to permanently block this person. Thanks

nicoleb says Dress To Impress As you will see in FC the entry outfits! has been added. That is picking up links to Dress To Impress which is a Certified Site. So they are able to talk about it but not link to it. which is where the warn issue comes in
to play. when you come across these and it is the users first offense for this (DTI) please non-warn with the the non-warn that has been added to Conﬂuence. If the user has been given the non-warn before and is still trying to post the links to DTI then please give the regular commercial warn. Any questions feel free to ask Robin or your supervisor! Thanks! N

P.S. Hello! Recommended fan sites may be linked to from the Neoboards, User Lookups, Neomail, etc. Certiﬁed fan sites can be discussed by name, but any links to them will be blocked except for the link listed on http://www.neopets.com/fansites/index.phtml

Kaycee says Hello again! In regards to my last notice about linking off-site to videos -- they should all now work on-site for the most part. On the last night, I know. XP I've seen a few people mention they don't play, but not nearly as many so we think Adam's ﬁxed it as much as he can. Please feel free to retum to your regular YouTube/Offsite monitoring. (Note that TeamNeopets on YouTube is actually us, just in case you see it mentioned.) Thank you! - kaycee
