...We did? blank stare ...Oh right, we did! XD I'd completely forgotten. You're one of those friends that it seems has just... kind of always been in my heart. Which is kind of funny for me to say because, way back when you first added me on LJ, I barely knew who you were. But I suppose that's how all friendships start, hm?

Nooo, pinging! Like tagging on fb. When you put the @ symbol before someone's name and it gives them a notification that you're talking to them. If you didn't know, there's even a button for it, up on the right side of your post... those three little icons? the first one is ping. :)

Wow your avatar looks great. The other outfit you had on was so good too. It's great to see new players enjoying this site so well, for only being here a little while you've got items that I don't even have. xD

Here's a brief summary of what the autumn events are like: Keelhauliday - pirates, restocking pirate items from that shop, getting pirate goodies from the token shop too

Alegarten - all about beer and sausages and traditional german food, it's an sP sink and the items will be pretty pricy when the shop opens up. There will also probably be items to buy from the token shop.

Morostide - The best event of autumn in my opinion. You go to other users profile pages and press the trick or treat button to get an item, or your avatar can turn into a gross monster (only for a little while then you go back to normal) and you can throw eggs and TP other users too. Traditionally the prizes you get from trick or treating has to do with how many pets a user has. So if a user has like 40 pets they'll give out the best items. OH and during this holiday, you can get special skins for your avatar that you can wear all year long instead of being just a normal human you can be a deer skin like or a dog skin like and there's much much more.

Fireside - there will be items floating on pages throughout the site that you click on and gather, and you take these items to the Red Rreign to for achievements. The items you find will probably be floating red rreign toys, and after giving them to the red rreign himself, he puts a wreath on the dolls and you get wreathed red rreign dolls instead. But if you try to give him the wreathed doll he'll get mad and blow fire on you which can take HP from your pets.

I guess that's the gist of those holidays! 😅

That summary was really, really helpful, thank you! The skins for Morostide seem really fun--I think I might've seen a panda one earlier today? Ah, and Fireside sounds like it will be similar to the anniversary with the floating items, except you turn them in somewhere (unless I was supposed to turn in the millions of floating items I got during the anniversary and I never did?? oops)!

I was never on neopets, I guess I skipped that point in my life and went straight to subeta! I always feel like I'm sort of missing out but then people always say how much more they like subeta so I don't feel too bad, haha. I joined subeta ~7 years ago so it's been a while (It feels like a long time since I'm now 16. A lot has changed, including the implementation of the '13+' only rule c; ), but not nearly as long as you've been on neo. Wow! :D

Also, I love your HA!

Welcome! Welcome! ^^ I played Neo like 10 years ago, this site is MUCH better. People are very helpful, so feel free to ask questions!

Welcome, I'm in the same boat as you! From neo to Subeta is so different and much better. I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Ahh, I can see that. Subeta has definitely changed a lot since I've been here, but everyone is just as friendly, which is important!

And thank you so much, I actually like your a lot too! It's rare for a new user to make a really nice HA but I actually like yours a lot

Y O U O W N A N A L P A C A AHHHHHH I'm extremely jealous. What's its name?

(Sidenote: I wonder when I will stop being surprised when the lovely people who have responded to my welcome post actually accept my friend requests and want to be friends with me! SO AWESOME and not what I am used to at all. I love it here. And I'm not just saying that because now I have an alpaca companion.)

Ollie is such a cute name ❤️

You can post pictures and links on the forums (as long as they don't break any subeta rules!) I'd suggest looking at the scode to see how to type it all. Id say the only thing to shy away from is straight up copy-pasting the links, since that get's a little bothersome to copy/paste into a browser. Just use scode! n.n I wanna see Ollie though haha.

And yah! There are a lot of people who shut off friend request - with valid reasons - but for the most part, people on subeta like making friends as long as they've at least TALKED to the person before. Random friend requests, say, to a person who you saw on the forums, is usually 'ehh' for most people c:

Thanks for the great link--I bookmarked it! I am pretty sure the picture wouldn't break Subeta rules, so here are a few.

Ollie, the day I met him (three days old):

A POV one of me feeding him a bottle the day I bought him (about four months old):

And, finally (brace yourself for the cuteness), an adorably hilarious one after his very first shearing (about six months old):

I have more recent ones, but the ones when he is a baby (called a "cria") are the cutest.

And, yes, that makes total sense about the friend requests! (I never send one unless I've had some interaction first and feel some sort of connection!)

omfg you have an alpaca

I also came over here from neo during the downtime, but now I find myself wanting to play Subeta more than neo! I never thought this would happen.

The bottle picture is so cute! He's really really adorable. The sheering picture was funny too. My dog looks really weird once his fur is all cut, so it's funny to me that you experience the same thing with such a unique pet :'D

And haha way to get 's attention~

Welcome to Subeta! It's so much better than the yellow site :) I really haven't been back over there since I started here 6 years ago.

I see you have no battle stats or trained pets :( I was hoping for another battler when I saw your thread, but I hear there are other things to do here besides battling. I just haven't found them yet :P
