Hey Snarkie!

I was wondering if you remember the requirements for the Cellblock or Edna avatars? After all these years, no one actually figured out how to obtain those. Everyone thinks they’re random but TNT confirmed multiple times they’re not! Anything you remember?

Thanks a lot for your attention!

Hi I was wondering if that one door in Neoquest I was a joke door? Or was it actually intended to be something and the coders ran out of time? Also do you still talk to Mr Insane/ know what he’s doing now?

The Faeries’ Ruin favourite plot 10/10 I run a blog dedicated to Xandra. Do you have anything you could share to us about the plot?

Death. Do you remember Death? From the Obelisk War?

I’m curious about Death in particular. As you might recall, the Obelisk War ended with each faction fighting some kind of Fear or Deadly Sin or what have you. From left to right, Thieves fought Greed, Neolluminati fought Pride, Pointy Hats fought Envy, Brutes fought Wraith, Nerds fought Sloth (the sleepy guy, not the scientist), and Zombie Monster Party fought Death.

And then the war ended, and The Oracle showed up.

I’m not exactly sure how I know this or where I read this, but best I can ASSUME is that those wispy monsters were apparitions created by The Oracle to test each faction. Visions planted in the imaginations of each faction leader, hence a lot of them being all like “Oh no, it’s that Aisha from my nightmares, go get her!”

However, I’m having trouble understanding that as an explanation for Death. Everyone else might just be imaginary frienemies of each faction leader, but Lanie and Lillie’s dialogue when Death shows up acknowledges Death as not just any spook, but their baby brother. To quotes them…

“Dear Meepits, no. It is our little brother…” “This is the worst thing ever. Save us. Save us…” “We must hide before he sees us. Good luck.”

A Wrath or an Envy might be a “character” that the Oracle created and, through her power, haunted people’s thoughts with, but she probably didn’t create Lanie and Lillie’s brother, did she? Sure the vision on the battlefield, that might’ve been a mirage or an illusion or whatever, but in order for them to have recognized the image of a baby Ixi named Death flying around shooting arrows, they must have a baby brother, who they fear, well before any of this Obelisk stuff happened, right?

So who is this baby brother of Lanie and Lillie’s? You never really got a chance to really get at it so I guess there isn’t a canon “answer” right now, but do you know what the intention was? They have a baby brother named Death, is he Neopia’s personification of death? Boy Prince of Reapers?

Or do we misunderstand what the intention was here? Because if Lanie and Lillie’s kid brother is Death personified, what does that make them? What does that make their parents? They would have to be a pretty important family amongst monsters and dead things, but then you’d have to be important to lead them like Lanie and Lillie do, right?

How aware was TNT of Neopets cheating websites(where they sell accounts) and what action did they take to protect users and shut these websites down? Any good stories in regards to these cheating websites?

So, my friends and I were laughing about Ixi Raider (you know, this guy: http://images.neopets.com/games/new_tradingcards/lg_ixi_raider_2004.gif) and how there’s like, no reason at all that he’s like the only taur-like character on the site (excluding rukis).

Was there actually a reason, lore-wise or otherwise, that he’s like that? Weird mutation? Unreleased colour? An artist just went “screw it, I want a taur ixi”? 😛 I love him either way ahaha

Oh look! Another question about the NeoApp. Well, I’m not sure if you’ve heard or not, but a few weeks ago it was FINALLY announced that we’d be getting a mobile app (due to Flash expiring, among other reasons). TNT stated that they have a full-time subgroup dedicated to this project. So my question is: Since you and some other staffies essentially built a Neopets app already to completion, what do you think this one will be like? Do you know if anyone who worked on the version with you, will be working on this version? Thanks!!

Who is this guy?

He looks kinda like Mr. Insane, but Mr. Insane doesn’t have flowing raven locks. So it can’t be him. You made this one too hard to solve! You have to give us a hint!

Hi, Snarkie! So, I’m not sure if you were involved in developing the story for Treasure Keepers, but I have a question that has been bugging me for years and I figured I could send you an ask about it.

In the game there was this one character, Prince Sallix, who didn’t look like a neopet at all:

I made a topic in Meteor Games’ forum asking what species she was, and adding that, if anything, she kinda looked like a Kadoatie. No one was really sure, but then a moderator (who also worked for the game) posted a reply. He left a very vague answer, but he hinted that her true nature AND her species had plot importance. That made me even more curious.

Of course, Treasure Keepers shut down and we never found out what was up with Sallix, but I’ve always wanted to know the answer and whether or not my theory that she’s a Kadoatie was right 😛 Would you happen to know?
