Well put Ferret. I'm glad to see you all here.
Hopefully more people are going to find this thread and join the insanity.

Yes yes. It’s Grace.

:O

Makes me almost wish that all my accounts weren't frozen.

*Cough*

*Has a reputation on Neopets*

Can I hang out on this thread anyway? *Puppy dog eyes*

Haha. We all have about ten hundred backup accounts.
Because sometimes Neo just enjoys freezing random people.
Not that we ever do anything worthy of being frozen. ;shifty eyes;

Yeah, you can hang out.
Have a freshly-baked thought muffin. :D

I got a warning for quoting Bowties, and she didn't. They just like to torture us.
I have to say that I think about half the people in our guild are backup accounts.

How is everyone's plotting going? I drew a really quick cover for my NaNo.
It's bad, but it'll work. And Michelle Grace isn't my real name, I just like it better.

I plan on taking advantage of my weekend in Pheesh Hell and working on my outline and catching up on math homework.
My cover is going to have an orange pill bottle pouring out blood. I'll probably watercolor it or something.
I'll write more when my cellular device stops being dumb.

Ya, I put mine together in five second on illustrator. I wasn’t planning on doing a serious one.

Though now you're making me want to redo it in watercolour.

If you guys were on the writer's forum a couple summers ago, I was Insomniac. I got IP banned.

32 accounts in two months. Frozen.

And I created an account but it disappeared. I used it once, to completely spoiler the last Harry Potter book. I got a warning for it once but I didn't get one when I went back the day after. It was funny.

*Has a lot of funny Neopets stories*

Help me out, freaks.
My NaNo takes place over a week and a half. So should I seperate the chapters into days?

32 accounts in 2 months? Wow.
I've only had one account frozen, but I think you've even got Bowties beat on that one.

That sounds like a good idea to me Ferret. But really it's your novel and your choice =)

I've only been on the NW since this past May, so I wouldn't know. And, um, wow. Thirty-two accounts? *is amazed*
I have /never/ been frozen. Ever. Because I'm weird like that. (Am I the only person in TGD who has no frozen accounts at this point?) I'm not cool enough to be frozen, I suppose. ^^;;

Ha. Probably, Shiner.
I've been playing Neo for five years. Back in the day (xD) TNT used to just freeze you without suspension.
So I was frozen a lot.

That sounds like a good idea, Ferret! *nodnod*

I've been playing Neo for, like... *counts* A little over four years. I was never really active, though, until this past May. That is when I discovered the NW, and my perfect record all went downhill from there... xD

I've been playing for...

*looks at first account that hasn't been used in ages and no one remembers the password for*

7 years apparently. I used to be a good kid. Never got warnings, never frozen. Then I got scammed and Neo wouldn't give me my account back. Grrr. Ever since I met Bowties I've started getting warnings XD

Bahaha. Coincedentally, I've been getting suspended a lot ever since I joined TGD.
I think it's just because I am more active or something. The guild is the only reason I even bother with Neopets.
Speaking of suspension, guess who's been suspended for 140 hours for something that makes no sense at all! FERRET! D:

And did you all notice? Apparently our thread is "hot". Telling from the little icon thing. xD

Ferret, being in TGD makes you a target for freezing/suspension. You know the original guild which we decided to rename because "The Sacrificial Cult of Aspiring Writers" was too freezable, probably died because Bowties got frozen and Rowan ran away from some reason. So none of the council members (besides me really) could do anything.

And that is our history… until we discovered that Bowties, Grace, and Jazzy in a writing contest became less of a contest and more of a random chat. So we made a guild to chat in instead XD

40 freakin members. I still can’t believe it. We didn’t really advertise that much, did we?

(Yay for long random ranting!)

So /that's/ why my warning count increased... xD
Hey, do you guys think that the name Blue is too weird for a guardian angel? Just wonderin'.

Depends on the context I guess. Is that kind of name common for guardian angels in your story? Does your guardian angel have a good reason for having that name?

I think that kind of name needs a bit of an explanation, but I think it'd be cool if you pulled it off.

I was on Neopets for about 6 years. *Shrug* I didn't get bad until the one summer though.

And 32 isn't that many...

Actually, she's running late (she has to save her person from getting hit by a bus or something) and forgot to think up a name for herself. So when she's asked what her name is, she looks at the nearest street sign for inspiration. She's not exactly used to keeping up with a real person, being fresh out of Angel Guard School and all...

So I guess the name "Blue" is kind of weird, but it's stuck now. My character wants the name, and I can't get her to let go of it. *sigh*

32 seems like a lot to me after only 2 months. And remember, you're talking to someone who's never been suspended and only frozen once after falling for a scam.

I like the name Blue then. If it works for the story, then it's fine =)

*pokes board with stick, and then flyinghuggletackleglomps EVERYONE*

Guess who?

No, that's not fair.

Actually, wait - I've never been fair, have I? :D Muahaha.

Really. Guess.

I haven't been on in a week or so. Familial crisis continuing. I will be checking over there later this afternoon, though!

I was so excited to find a TGD board. :D I didn't think I'd find any, and then - poof! - out of nowhere, here one was.

I'm another member of TGC who's never been frozen. :D

"I like the name Blue then. If it works for the story, then it's fine =)"

Seconding. It actually might even give interesting insight into her culture! :D

I also think Blue is good, considering the story.

Aw. Figures. You checked, Ferret! :D

Yupyupyup, it's Ditto. Who is, incidentally, made of awesomeness. And Bottom C in the school play. And writing about a female dwarf for NaNo. Yupyupyup.

I'm switching tabs between here and Neo every few minutes.

Apparently, some idiot's trying to bring back the NW Senate. :D This should be fun to watch.
