May 2010 News Archive

Welcome to another edition of SunnyNeo’s daily Altador Cup reports, where right now no one is entirely sure how to predict the next outcome! On to our report for Day 5 (May 30th)…

Once upon a time this match-up would not have been viewed as “one to watch”. Now we can safely say “this is one to watch!” Yesterday the formidable Team Virtupets with their lead player XL Striker 3.8 took on the wintery wonders of Team Terror Mountain. Both Virtupets and Terror Mountain have given their opponents something to think about as they rid themselves of their underdog status. It was almost a tie, with Team Virtupets claiming wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger and Terror Mountain taking wins in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. A clear split down the middle! Virtupets held the overall win though after winning Yooyuball, the main event.

This is one of those matches where in past years you would have said; “Oh, Team Lost Desert will sweep them, dead easy!” But their opponents Team Brightvale are putting up one of the biggest battles to date. Lost Desert took the overall win with the main event of Yooyuball and the support game Shootout Showdown. Brightvale protested against this and stole wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Unfortunately for Team Brightvale, it appears that a disciplinary is in action as the Altador Cup Committee clocked that ‘dirty’ tactics were being used on the Yooyuball field to gain an advantage over their opponents. Brightvale’s Team Captain “Squeaky” Tressif is ashamed of his team’s methods and is working on restoring a reputable reputation. The Brightvalians have generally been known for dirty play in past competitions but their Team Captain has always tried to lose that status. Let’s hope they can regain their honour in the next week! If only for Squeaky’s sake.

In the next match we see our first clean-sweep. Team Kiko Lake versed Team Meridell in what must have felt like one of the quickest matches in history for them. The Meridellians were clearly frustrated from having to face their geological rivals from Brightvale and Darigan Citadel the past couple of days and effectively took that pent up wrath out on the Kikos. Team Captain “Poke” Cellers of Kiko Lake shrugged. “Meh, it’s understandable. The knights had to face their kingdom’s biggest rivals recently, of course they were angry. No one was hurt – thank goodness – and they beat us fair and square.” Team Meridell, having taken home four wins, can now relax and refocus their energy on other games to come.

It is now reaching a stage where Team Moltara seem to be running out of steam as Team Maraqua dumped a bucket of water over their well-oiled machine as they made a clean-sweep. The Maraquans seem to be progressing rather well and say “no hard feelings to the Steampunk Squad. We’re just glad to win!” The trouble with underdog squads is that they are like a Cobrall in the grass… They hide their true potential until they STRIKE! And although prospects look grim for the Moltarans right now, any opponent who lets their guard down against them is likely to be the first to fall.

Ah, Team Shenkuu versus Team Roo Island… always a pleasant game to witness no matter which tournament due to their friendly dispositions. Many still believe that the ShenkRoo alliance is still strong, meaning that it seemed fitting for both teams to almost gain a four-way tie yesterday. Team Shenkuu scraped a narrow overall win in Make Some Noise when their fans erupted into respectful applause at the Yooyuball Draw. “Always an honour to play against the Rooligans.” Foltaggio from Shenkuu commented after he had thanked the fans. "Win or lose we can generally expect to have fun with them without hard feelings. It’s great!” Later we caught up with Roo Island’s Fenny Vail who said; “Shenkuu are a serious squad but it’s nice that our teams can have a friendly match amidst the heated competition. There’s too much drama, it’s refreshing to compete against friends.” Let’s hope that this match has left both teams feeling ready to fight strong against their next rivals.

This is another match that almost ended in a four-way tie. Team Darigan Citadel took on the Mystery Islanders and neither of them could seem to outdo each other on the field. The Darigan fans let out a mighty chant at the end of the match that snagged them a win in Make Some Noise. Sadly the Islanders tiki tack tactics were not enough to overcome Darigan Citadel’s fortress of defence. “I’m okay with the results.” Bertie Shurtz (Mystery Island’s Forward player) said as she approached the press. “The Darigans put up a good fight.”

Although Team Kreludor are generally strong overall, they are no match for Team Tyrannia in support games! The Kreludans managed to claim a win in Yooyuball but only Drew in Slushie Slinger. The Tyrannians took home victories Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown once again. Just another day in the office for the bedrock lot! Kreludor are not dismayed. They are fully aware of the Tyrannians’ support game-heavy disposition and predicted this result might happen.

Pirate ghosts or ghost pirates? Team Haunted Woods materialised on Team Krawk Island’s schedule to try and spook the superstitious buccaneers into submission. The pirates took one look at the undead lot and said “nah!” taking home wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. The Haunted Woods squad made plenty of haunting chants and melodies to secure a savvy Draw with the pirates in Make Some Noise before being banished from the deck of Krawk Island’s statistic ship. “Aye, no one messes with me crew!” Captain Garven Hale promised coolly as the teams headed back to their locker rooms.

And last but not least we come to the Team Altador versus Team Faerieland match, where the sun peeked from behind the clouds to win Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The Faerielanders stepped up their game to earn a respectful Draw in Yooyuball against the gladiators. Timu from Team Altador says, “Both of our teams are showing good potential this year. We might be able to lift ourselves above the lower brackets of the tournament this time!” A theory best put to the test. (Right, supporters?)

That concludes our report on yesterday’s matches and it’s too early still to determine which teams will earn that beautiful golden Altador Cup at the end of the competition. Keep watching our Altador Cup Coverage for the next instalment of news!

It’s still early days in the Altador Cup tournament and there have already been interesting match-ups. SunnyNeo brings you a report on Day 4 (May 29th) where redemptions are starting to show for some teams…

There were only two clean-sweeps yesterday and one of those was within the Team Mystery Island versus Team Faerieland matches. The Islanders needed a slight statistics boost and this match provided that lift. Team Faerieland are not letting the loss dampen their hopes, they have already shown significant improvements, it’s just maintaining an adequate standard that maybe their biggest challenge. The Islanders are pleased with the result and feel ready for the next big match.

The other sweep occurred during the Team Brightvale versus Team Altador game. The scholars squared up with the gladiators and proved that the pen is mightier than the sword. King Hagan of Brightvale is now satisfied his team swept the colossseum with the namesakes of the tournament. “Ha! I knew that forcing them to study would motivate them to do better this year. I’m so clever!” He laughed victoriously at his cunning. King Altador of… Altador (naturally) congratulates the Brightvalians for stepping up their game this year. He also sent a personal letter to his team to motivate them some more in their next head-to-head.

There was a massive sigh of relief exhaled when Team Shenkuu finished their match against Team Moltara yesterday and emerged as the overall winners. The Moltarans have not yet managed to find their footing in the ranks but there maybe hope for them yet. Defender Tulah Kisner says; “This really isn’t how we expected to begin the season! Maybe we need to rethink our tactics? Despondant? Yes. Beaten? No.” Shenkuu’s defeat against Team Lost Desert the other day left many anxious that they would be too disheartened to excel in the next few matches, and fears of an injury made fans worry about performance levels. Captain Mirsha Grelinek quickly dispelled those fears; “Losing to Lost Desert does not mark an end to us – it sparks a beginning and emerging victorious against Team Moltara is the first step to a better outcome. And yes, there was an injury the other day but we received medical clearance. No need to fret.” The Steampunk Squad are now considering hiring a new manager. The Moltarans refuse to give-in and are content with the Draw in Slushie Slinger, despite losing the other three games.

Team Meridell had their second iconic match in a row yesterday. First they were against Brightvale on Day 3 and yesterday they went against their nemesis, Darigan Citadel. Fiorina of Meridell seemed exasperated. “I swear the Altador Cup Committee did this on purpose! Anything for a good media story… honestly!” The Darigans seized wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. They tied in Slushie Slinger, though. Captain Layton Vickles sniggered; “Those knights have nothing on us! It’ll take a lot more than small talk to get us quaking.” King Skarl was unimpressed  and snapped at his squad. “We didn’t lose a WAR to them but you lose a SPORTING TOURNAMENT to them?! You’re lucky I don’t throw you in the dungeons!” Lord Darigan told King Skarl to stop being melodramatic and take the loss like a grown up. Captain “Wizard” Windelle from Meridell says, “There’s a lot more conflict between our leaders than our Yooyuball teams! I’m glad this match is over, Team Darigan won’t win in the Second Round!”

Another good day for the Rooligans as Team Roo Island took an overall win yesterday against Team Haunted Woods. They won all of the support games and gained a Draw in Yooyuball. This is really starting to look like Team Roo Island’s chance of a comeback! The Haunted Woods seem to be heading towards an early grave but we never know when they’ll start spellbinding their opponents. Maybe getting rid of Autrey Fulse was a bad move?

Team Tyrannia remain champions of the support games by taking wins in Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Team Kiko Lake won Yooyuball and seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves this year. If they can manage a balance between Yooyuball and the support games the Kikos might be able to strengthen their position. The Tyrannians seem to be comfortable being masters of the support games.

Ah, Team Virtupets versus Team Kreludor, enemies outside of the tournament for eons. This face-off gained some intriguing outcomes as Kreludor seem to be one of the leading teams but Virtupets are no longer the underdogs they used to be. Team Kreludor are one of the strongest competitors at the moment but were unable to sweep the Virtupets squad. Dr. Sloth’s favourites seized an outstanding win in Yooyuball and Drew in Shootout Showdown. Virtupets’ Forward player XL Striker 3.8 is still Top Goal Scorer. The Kreludorks blasted their opponents to make way for a win in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Captain Derlyn Fonnet gasped; “I’m shocked at our Yooyuball defeat! Virtupets have really started to show their true colours.” It just goes to show that small teams can and will strike when you least expect it.

On Day 3, Team Lost Desert took down Second Place Team Shenkuu of Altador Cup IV, and yesterday they stampeded across ACIV’s First Place winners Team Krawk Island in their bid to take home the gold! The pirates parried for a Draw in Shootout Showdown to avoid being swept by the desert folk. “Dasher” Soley says that old age has not affected his Yooyuball skills, but he won’t deny that being pulled out of retirement wasn’t a move that he expected to happen. “’Twas a bit uncalled for.” Dasher replied, shaking his head ruefully. “But I could ne’er abandon me crew when they needed me back – so here I am! Cursed or not.” Team Lost Desert have very good prospects for this year and if they maintain this standard they could go far.

And last but not least we come to the Team Terror Mountain versus Team Maraqua match, which ended in an overall win for Team Maraqua. “Yeah we could have done better,” Captain Prytariel  commented on behalf of Terror Mountain, “but the fans managed a Draw in Slushie Slinger and a win in Shootout Showdown was achieved so it’s something.” The Maraquans had the last laugh though as they won Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. Captain Elon Hughlis said; “Hey, the fans love me! What can I say? Ideally I would have liked a clean-sweep but what can ya do?”

Another intense day of matches brings another exciting report from SunnyNeo about Day 3 (May 28th) of the Altador Cup tournament. With more upsets and fights to the finish, we bring you the latest news...

Let’s begin with Team Haunted Woods versus Team Darigan Citadel. Both teams proved to be equals with a tie in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Darigan Citadel took wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger to the sheer delight of their supporters. Team Haunted Woods commented that their new player, “Brains” Mortigan, is okay after his ear fell off mid-match. Captain Krell Vitor reassured supporters that a loss of limb is normal for zombies and that a few hundred stitches returned the zombie back to normal. Sadly that distraction prevented them from grasping a win.

It appears that Team Faerieland is really kicking dust into their opponents’ eyes by seizing a Draw in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger. Defender Delma Harrence says, “We’re really on form this year! All of our practice is paying off. I hope Queen Fyora is proud of us." Team Tyrannia managed a win in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The prehistoric squad are competing well this year.

This was one of those matches to watch because of monarch sibling rivalry. King Skarl’s Team Meridell versed King Hagan’s Team Brightvale in a fight to the death! (Okay, that was an exaggeration, but it was a heated face-off.) Team Brightvale had hopes of becoming the next best thing since sliced bread (TOASTED bread for all you fans out there) but only managed to secure a win in Slushie Slinger. King Skarl laughed hard, calling his brother’s team a “joke”. King Hagan grumbled about his disappointment in their loss of Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown and says his team will need to study their opponents more. Captains “Squeaky” Tressif and “Wizard” Windelle have not let their kings’ disputes affect their sportsmanship as they remain on neutral terms with one another.

Now let’s move on to the burning hot Team Moltara versus the flash freezing Team Terror Mountain in a battle of the elements! During the match-up yesterday, Team Terror Mountain buried Moltara in a blizzard of skill, claiming wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Captain Prytariel said after the game; “I was expecting them to beat us in at least one game, I am very proud of my team and our supporters.” Team Moltara scrambled a tie in Slushie Slinger, though, and say that their debut start to the tournament could have been better.

Team Krawk Island retained their dignity yesterday by sinking Team Kiko Lake’s glass bottom boat, stealing a victory in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Kiko Lake found a hole in the pirates’ hull and exploited their weakness in Slushie Slinger, winning one for the Lakes. With tactics like that they’re looking at the big leagues.

This was an incredible match between teams Virtupets and Mystery Island, which ended up with an upset for the Islanders. Team Virtupets shocked the colosseum by deploying expert tactics in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. Both sides managed to equal each others’ vocal chords in Make Some Noise, ending in a tie. Dr. Sloth transmitted a message via Neovision to send his approval of their successes and if they get into the Top Three, their homes might be spared. Teylor Nix from Mystery Island says that it took them by surprise but they’ll get their own back on the space station team!

On to the first sweep of yesterday, it was sun versus sea when Team Altador took on Team Maraqua. Despite performing extremely well the past few days, the Altadorians were unable to tame the waves and found themselves dragged away by the Maraquan currents. Team Maraqua took home four wins yesterday – with Team Captain Elon Hughlis taking all the credit for it as is his nature. Team Altador have not given up yet, they still have plenty to prove.

Then there was the clash of the teams under the title “favourites to win the tournament” after taking home Third and Second Places respectfully last year. Team Lost Desert crossed scimitars and katanas with Team Shenkuu in one of the most anticipated matches of the season. When the dust settled there was a clear victor... Team Lost Desert had emerged as the winners without a single loss! Later, Captain Leera Heggle said that the spirit of King Coltzan had appeared to him the night before the match as a sign of fortune to come for them... and it did! Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Team Shenkuu stated that the ninjas congratulate the desert squad and stressed that their spirit has not broken from the losses. Although the rare use of a spokesperson on behalf of Team Shenkuu leads fans to believe that an injury may have occurred during the Yooyuball match as their Team Captain always makes a public appearance, win or lose. Expert riverboarders Cassile and Bowe say that they plan to travel down to Altador to lend Shenkuu extra support in the stands. Last night celebrations went on for Team Lost Desert in a chorus of cheers.

Finally we come to the scuffle between Team Kreludor and Team Roo Island, which set the Rooligans back in the stands. The Kreludorks safely launched the Rooligans’ dreams into orbit by achieving yet another clean-sweep in the First Round Robin. Team Roo Island held no grudges against the Kreludans for claiming the victories. “What can I say? It was a fair match.” Captain Lilo Blumario shrugged, smiling despite the results. “We did our best – next time we will do better!” Jurin T. from Kreludor made special appearance merchandise signing at the entrance of the stadium last night to thank their supporters for being amazing.

This season looks to be more and more perplexing as the First Round Robin continues to throw obstacles in each teams’ way. Have stronger teams from last year really fallen or are the once lower tiered teams here to stay as top contenders? Stay up-to-date with our Altador Cup Coverage as the plot thickens!

There were more upsets yesterday as the once “lower tiered” teams shake the foundations of the tournament in a revolution that could place them as powerhouses. SunnyNeo brings you the latest report from Day 2 (May 27th) of the daily match reports…

The first sweep of the day was from Team Brightvale in their match against Kiko Lake yesterday. Both of these teams are looking promising as top contenders but with a clean-sweep under their belts, the Brightvalians seem to be looking like a main powerhouse for this season. Team Kiko Lake have not lost hope though as they have plenty of energy left for their next match.

Team Kreludor also managed a clean-sweep against Team Krawk Island who’s ship seems to be listing hazardously on the shore of their statistics. Team Captain Derlyn Fonnet of Kreludor says that it’s time other teams understood their real skills. No more taunting, this is business! The pirates are frustrated about this result and are determined to prove that they will not fall into the lower brackets as other champions have done so in the past.

Team Tyrannia are still masters of the support games, claiming wins in Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Unlike the day before yesterday, Team Mystery Island secured a victory in Yooyuball. Mystery Island’s Team Captain, Volgoth, states that the great Mumbo Pango is still sleeping and cannot enchant them with good prospects at the moment.

The Rooligans are happily progressing at an ample pace, taking wins in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. Their opponents, Team Terror Mountain, gaining respectable victories in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. Team Roo Island’s Defender Gordo Gunnels says that he is proud of his squad’s determination to do well after falling to Ninth Place last year. “It will take more than a set-back like last year’s results to hold us Rooligans back!” He cheered as he left to congratulate the mountaineers for a good game.

Team Meridell withheld their honour by achieving wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown against the Faerieland Fighters yesterday. But living up to their new expectations, Team Faerieland are now seemingly digging their heels in the ground to gain a reputation as Slushie Slinger powerhouses (somewhat like Tyrannia managed to achieve). Although this time the Faerielanders Drew with the knights, Queen Fyora herself is rumoured to be planning a visit to the stadium in future matches to lend her team support.

Similar to the Faerieland versus Meridell match-up, Team Lost Desert gained wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown against Team Maraqua, who only managed a Draw in Slushie Slinger. Dorina Hals from Maraqua says that her Team Captain is unhappy with the result but they will work harder the next time the two teams clash head-to-head. Derby Azar from Team Lost Desert says that they are still eyeing up the Altador Cup to take home.

Another mirror of the Faerieland versus Meridell or Lost Desert versus Maraqua matches yesterday was the match between Team Darigan Citadel and Team Moltara. Darigan Citadel faced-off Moltara taking wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown, drawing in Slushie Slinger. Roxton A. Colchester III, one of Moltara’s first discoverers, has not been located to comment on the team’s rusty gears as new players to the tournament. Team Moltara continue to press on regardless and aim to gain a better footing in future games.

Team Altador managed to tie with the Virtupets team in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise but are hoping to beat the next team that crosses their path. Team Virtupets continue to make their team proud by winning Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Despite this King Altador could be seen beaming with pride yesterday as his squad are improving significantly.

And finally we come to the Team Shenkuu versus Team Haunted Woods match that almost ended in a four-way tie! The Haunted Woods supporters scraped a win in Make Some Noise, tipping them into the overall victory status for that match-up. Shenkuu insist that a Draw is not a loss and they will not fail their supporters this season. Zo Junior from Haunted Woods boasts that it was his funky victory dances after scoring a goal that encouraged his team supporters to cheer louder that day.

The underdogs continue to make a firm statement that they are powerhouses. Keep up-to-date with our Altador Cup Coverage to find out what happens next!

Welcome to SunnyNeo’s coverage of the Neopian-wide Yooyuball tournament that’s captivated the souls of many fans all over the world. Yesterday (May 26th) the tables seemed to turn, with the “lower ranking” squads from previous years rising up from the depths of underdog status and creating a revolution like no other in Altador Cup history! Without further ado, here is our first major report of the season…

Let’s begin with the namesakes of the tournament versus the newbies to the tournament: Team Altador vs. Team Moltara. For those who have witnessed Team Altador’s past matches, many were expecting Team Moltara, the geared-up Steampunk Squad, to take their first wins of the season… Well, it appears that Team Altador had another plan in mind as they blitzed the unsuspecting Moltarans with a full clean-sweep! When we asked Team Captain “Trapper” Remis what his secret was to Altador’s success, he simply replied with: “It’s about time we reveal our true potential in this tournament and make our King proud!”

Ah, last year’s champions Krawk Island set sail in the tournament with a sound victory in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. With Garven Hale leading the pirates this year, previous Captain “Dasher” Soley returned to the Cup after his replacement Feldon “Dinksy” Collibridge received an injury, forcing his quick comeback. Team Faerieland began the season with dignity as they secured a strong win in Slushie Slinger, keen to raise expectations for their squad. Team Krawk Island insist that they have not been cursed from becoming ACIV’s First Place winners as Haunted Woods, Darigan Citadel and Roo Island had become fallen champions they year immediately after they placed First in their respective tournaments. There’s hope for the buccaneers yet!

The fallen champions of Altador Cup III, Team Roo Island, seem to be making a healthy start to the tournament by achieving wins in Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Their opponents, Mystery Island could only secure a Draw against the Rooligans in Yooyuball and unfortunately lost overall yesterday. We will have to see how later matches play out to witness whether or not both of them are eyeing up the Top Four positions realistically. The Mystery Islanders have stated that they intend to improve their game in future matches.

Team Tyrannia broke up their “Forsaken Five” by transferring Evrem Guilako for Team Terror Mountain’s Elbin Kroe in a bid to improve their Yooyuball prospects. Yesterday Tyrannia were pitted against Team Virtupets, Dr. Sloth’s favourites, who once upon a time didn’t gain a serious reputation in the Cup except for in Shootout Showdown where they gained a lot of respect. Yesterday the matches almost balanced out, with Team Tyrannia winning Slushie Slinger (their speciality) and Make Some Noise, and Team Virtupets stormed through Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown without a problem. The Virtupets’ success appears to be whittled down to their Left Forward XL Striker 3.8 who is a strong leading Top Goal Scorer! Keetra Deile, their Team Captain, refused to comment but rumour has it that an important software upgrade was activated in the Wocky before the match.

After their transfer of Elbin Kroe for Tyrannia’s Evrem Guilako, Team Terror Mountain were hoping to up the ante in their matches. Yesterday they were against one of the current “favourites to win”, Team Lost Desert, which spurred the mountaineers to win Shootout Showdown and edged their way for a Draw in Slushie Slinger. The Lost Desert squad proved to be too strong from them in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise and remain a team to watch.

Similar to the Lost Desert versus Terror Mountain match, Team Meridell valiantly won the games of Yooyuball and Make Some Noise whereas Team Maraqua forced a Draw in Slushie Slinger and scored their win in Shootout Showdown. The knights and the Maraquans are both considered to be higher tier contenders this year and their true strength has yet to shine. King Skarl and King Kelpbeard insist that their own teams are born to become the next champions.

Team Kiko Lake are another underdog team to join the upsurge of the lower tiered teams’ rebellion! After their stunning face-off with Team Shenkuu yesterday (who are amongst the “favourites to win” this year) the Kiko Lakers are adamant to prove that they are not limited to the lower tiers this time… even receiving a Yellow Card to caution them against ignoring the one-on-one player rule by boxing in their rivals when they became a bit too excited at the prospect at winning a match. Captain Mirsha Grelinek of Team Shenkuu dismisses rumours of them inheriting the so-called “Winner’s Curse” in place of Team Krawk Island (after losing Yooyuball to the Kiko Lakers) and congratulates the Kikos for working extremely hard to defeat them in the main event. The Kikos also managed an honourable Draw in Shootout Showdown and Shenkuu regained their footing with wins in both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise.

Cheers erupted in the stadium when Team Kreludor swept Team Haunted Woods in every match they faced. The self-proclaimed Kreludorks thanked their fans for their continued support as Team Haunted Woods refused to comment on the blow to their statistics. Captain Krell Vitor denies that his newest player, aptly named “Brains” Mortigan, was the cause of their loss for delivering slow Yooyu passes and attempting to eat the brains of the Kreludans. Is there any sign of the Haunted Moon alliance rekindling after it disintegrated in Altador Cup I? The possibility maybe slim after that outcome but this year is full of surprises!

Finally we come to the Darigan Citadel versus Team Brightvale match-up, which ended up with jaws dropping throughout the colosseum. The scholars from Brightvale are generally known as an underdog team, but with the return of Orie Dinelle as goalkeeper their luck seems to have vastly improved as they achieved a clean-sweep in all games against the Darigans. Forward player Tandrak Shaye of Darigan Citadel commented that his team was not slacking off and that the scholars had caught them on a bad day, but he also said he noticed that their tactics had greatly improved since previous years. Either way, the news of this clean-sweep shocked many and it leaves everyone wondering who will be the next reigning champions of the Altador Cup.

Are we looking at a new generation of champions this year? It’s hard to guess as the First Round Robin has only just begun. Keep watching our Altador Cup Coverage for updates in this shocking season of Yooyuball!

Good news for those who didn't have the chance to clear all the Mists during Tarla's Mystery Tour. It seems you now have to buy a Mystery Bag from Tarla's Shop of Mystery to clear the remaining Mist. This is only possible for those who cleared at least one part of Mist during the event.

Finding Mist is totally random, so it can get a bit expensive.

You can buy one Mystery Bag every 1,5 minute.

So far people have been able to clear more than one Mist today, but we have no idea if there's a limit (your bank account perhaps?)
 
Tarla's shop restocks every 1-2 minutes, but it can take longer

You can still get all the prizes after you cleared the Mist, except for Tarlas Underground Workshop Background, which was only given to those who cleared the Mist during the event.

Visit our Tarla's Tour of Mystery Guide for more information about Tarla.

From the Petpet Park News:

If you love to save Park Points, be sure to visit Fins, Feathers & Fashion this Friday between 4-5 PM NST for our last (at least for now) ONE Park Point item sale! This lovely pair of Spring Garden Shoes will be on sale for the entire hour. Make sure you don’t miss your chance to keep your Petpet’s feet clean and dry and save some Park Points!

We've recently discovered that there are miniature prizes for completing achievements in this year's Altador Cup.

At the moment you can gain the achievements but there is a glitch and the prizes are not being awarded.

Prizes are now being awarded. Unreceived prizes are also awarded.

Prizes are now being awarded correctly. Previously unreceived prizes have  also been awarded.

We have an Achievements Guide page with the known achievements and their prizes listed.

So far the current achievements discovered are for:
- Winning 5 Yooyuball matches
- Scoring 50 goals in Yooyuball matches (cumulatively).
- Win 10 Yooyuball games with 10 or more goals scored in each game.
- Win 5 Yooyuball games with 14 or more goals scored in each game.
- Scoring 5 goals in 40 shootout showdown games.
- Playing one of each Altador Cup game. (Yooyuball, Shootout Showdown, Make Some Noise, Slushie Slinger)
- Scoring 10 times with a clockwork yooyu (cumulatively).
- Save 50 goals in Yooyuball (shooting at yourself does not work, trust us, we tried XD).
- Send 100 scores of Make Some Noise with 6000 or more points
- Score 100 goals with each player (goalie excluded)
- Play Slushie Slinger 50 times with a minimum score of 200

Achievements appear like this at the top of your screen (you will not see the achievement notice if you are playing yooyu ball in large screen mode):

A lot of you will have started to notice that Yooyuball is acting strangely when you go to send score after a match.

Looks like TNT were on the ball! The glitch appears to be fixed. Hooray!

The known glitch (very recent) is as follows:
- Scores are not processing after achieving a score of 10 points or higher.
- Sending a score of less than 10 points in Yooyuball will still process as normal.

Hopefully TNT are working on a solution as we speak.
We will update you as soon as we are aware that the glitch has been fixed.

Good morning! It's past 12:00 AM NST and time for your first matches of the season. I hope you've warmed up those Yooyuballing muscles and trained your vocal chords for Altador's most exciting annual event.

Be sure to check which team yours will be facing today on the Altador Cup V Schedule/Results page.

Still not decided on which team you want to support? How about taking our "Which team should you join?" quiz for suggestions?



There is also the NC Challenge that you can participate in if you've bought your ticket from the NC Mall.  We have an updated NC Challenge Guide that shows the challenges and prizes.

Be sure to check out our Altador Cup Coverage for all the latest updates of the tournament. See you in the colosseum!

Only a few hours away from kick off now! We have a new series of userlookups to present to all you rabid fans. We hope you enjoy them. There will be more  NEW Altador Cup graphics goodies coming within the next week, so keep your eyes glued to SunnyNeo!

From now on we will be updating this newspost with the Tarla locations rather than making new ones. We will of course be updating our Twitter page with all the latest updates as well! Also read our Twitter Help page to learn how to receive sound alerts, popups or text messages on your phone when Tarla appears.

For older sightings of Tarla, have a look at our Tarla's Tour of Mystery guide
*Please keep in mind Tarla appears for only a very short period of time. She will only stay on one page for 1-12 minutes. If you missed her, you have to wait until she appears on a new page.

Visit our Tarla's Tour of Mystery Guide for more information about the Tarla. On this page you can also see a sneak preview of whats hidden behind the mist! 

If you want to search for Tarla at various locations, use our easy to use Map Links page!

For those of you who have been playing practice games of Yooyuball recently, you will have noticed that the field was off-set by a few millimetres making scoring goals a little bit more challenging than it needed to be.

This has now been fixed by TNT and the field is no longer arranged oddly.

Reminder: The Spring Button Up Shirt will be retiring from the NC Mall on June 1st. This item is fairly unique as once it retires, you will be unable to ever get it. This is because Elite Boutique items are non-giftable. Get it while you can!

The Spring collection of NC Wearables will also retiring on June 1st. However, these items will still be obtainable through usual trading methods.

We have just opened a new job opening, we are now looking for one or more CSS Layout Stylists to add to our team. The job is opened for people who enjoy creating layouts using CSS codes.

We are also still looking for other new staff members such as Graphics Makers, Petpet Park Experts, Game Guide Writers, Battledome Experts and Tutorial writers. For more information, have a look at our Apply for Staff page.

Moltara, we haven't forgotten about you! The Altador Cup Fonts page has been updated to include fonts for all Moltara supporters.

◦ ● ◦ ▲▲▲ neoHTML M O L T A R A ... To win the cup! neoHTML [center]◦ ● ◦[br][fontc=#FFBA1A]▲[/font][fonts=4c=#FF0000]▲[/font][fontc=#FFBA1A]▲[/font][br][fonts=1]neoHTML[/font][ ][br][fonts=4c=#c80000f=georgia][b]M O L T A R A[/font][br][fonts=1c=#FF9900]...To win the cup![/b][/font][/center] siggy

We have also eyedropped Moltara's team colours for you to use on anything you'd like. Go to the Altador Cup Team Colours page to check it out!

Today the first people are finishing with Tarla's Tour of Mystery by having cleared all 16 pieces of mist. (You can still clear them until the 26th). If you have cleared all 16 pieces, you will be rewarded with the following items. All of these are neopoint wearables.

Tarlas Underground Workshop Background	Tour of Mystery Garland	Tarlas Scarf
Shop of Mystery Grab Bag	Tour of Mystery Magnifying Glass

As we are sure you are all aware a new ad has been added to Neopets which covers the top navigation bar and is effecting all layouts.
Many of you have mailed us with a solution to solving this on our userlookups and petlookups, and they have all been updated and should now work perfectly.


Should you wish to edit your own userlookups copy and paste these codes somewhere in the middle of the coding for your layout.

For lookups that are aligned to the left of the screen:

For lookups that are aligned to the right of the screen: For petlookups and lookups that are centered:  We are still checking our other layouts and will keep you posted.

There's a new game that went up for premium beta testing: Kookia.

Oh no! Kookiths are on the loose in Neopia, and they must be caught before they can get into any trouble. These mischievous Petpets may be cute, but they're also fast and prefer to travel in groups. Are your Kookith-capturing skills up to the task of snaring them? Give it a try!

The goal of the game is to catch all the Kookiths that have escaped. You can catch the regular coloured ones by hovering over them with your mouse. The blue Kookith can be caught by clicking on them. If you collect three you will unlock a bonus round where you can catch golden Kookith for extra points. By collecting many Kookith in a row the amount of points you get will rapidly go up.

As you may have noticed, sign ups for the Altador Cup V have started. If you cannot decide which team to join, you may want to consider taking our brand new quiz:
Which Team should you join for the Altador Cup?

This is our very first quiz, and we hope that there are lots more to come! Enjoy!
Of course you will be rewarded with a very beautiful banner once you have completed the quiz =)

There's a new MME at the NC Mall: MME6: Magical Shapes Bubble Wand. You can find it at Speciality. We have updated our MME Guide with newest info and a flash preview.

TNT have just released the new Altador Cup index and it's looking spectacular!

Keep up to date with our ACV coverage and the ACIV prize shop is no longer available.

TNT are also hosting a staff tournament! That should be fun to watch.

Shortly after the Moltara team image was found, the images for this year's Terror Mountain, Tyrannian, and Haunted Woods Team have been uncovered! These images show all player substitutes.

Coming to theaters near you soon is the updated version of the Karate Kid. Now on Neopets you can test you karate skills in The Karate Kid A Hero’s Journey!

Wax on... wax off
 

Yes... Our SunnyNeo Altador Cup Team has been working overtime and we're entering ACV with a new attitude!

We have a new navigation system, new guides and lots of new graphics and more to come!

Check out our full Altador Cup V Coverage which will be regularly updated.

Note: Please note that it appears that TNT are still updating team images. This may take a short while. Until then, these may not be the final rosters.

In other news... Introducing Team Moltara!

Two unreleased petpets have been found, the Pink Blugar and Starry Ombat.

From the Petpet Park News:

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a flower pot? Now you can! Fins, Feathers & Fashion will be holding a ONE Park Point item sale this Friday between 4-5 NST for this very green Flower Plop Hat.

We've updated our Quest for Knowledge Capsule Guide with the bonus capsule and LE item info.  Happy Capsule opening!

It's quite possible that the actual games for Altador Cup V will start on the 26th May, with sign-up week potentially landing on the 21st for a duration of five days.

This has not been confirmed yet but is based on the FAQ information of 2 tournament days becoming "breaks". Thanks for the help from the users who Neomailed us with this possiblity!

We are currently waiting for TNT to release the official information about the tournament structure. For now, this is unconfirmed but plausible.

Today, the last Quest of Knowledge capsule will be released and the adventure will end. We've added a preview of the bonus item to our guide. It's a proto type, so it might not fully resemble the real image. View at your own risk! Thanks goes to farmerluk from the NC Mall board for sharing this image with us!

Also, as soon as the last capsule is released, we'll update our guide with more information and previews.

It looks like TNT have released this year's Altador Cup FAQs!

The main link doesn't yet work because it's not been officially released, but here are the individual questions linked below (duplicate numbers relate to both general AC FAQs and NC Mall queries).


It also looks like there will be two tournament breaks!

Can I earn Neopoints from playing the games in the Altador Cup? [...] On the two tournament breaks, June 12th and June 30th, you'll be able to earn Neopoints for the first 10 scores you send per game on each day. After you've maxed out Neopoints in each game for the day during the tournament, you should still continue to submit your scores, because all the scores you send will count toward your prize shop points and your team's total![...]

The Altador Cup is just around the corner and of course there will be a NC Challenge! Here is the image of the Altador Cup V NC Challenge Ticket. Make sure to check our Altador Cup Coverage.

The SunnyNeo Altador Cup Team are proud to present to you... Our Countdown to the Cup!

Head on over to our Altador Cup V Waiting Room to see what other things we have in store for you whilst we all prepare for the upcoming tournament.


There is plenty more to come!

We would like to thank the multitudes of users who neomailed us regarding the discovery of an Ice Krawk. Since we have found one, we no longer require your neomails about it. 

Punchbag Sid has made a rare appearance in the Battledome.  Challenge Punchbag Bob (the one with Difficulty 100) with your active pet and lose to get an avatar.  Hurry, he doesn't stay very long!

Update: Sid was spotted around 12:32 pm NST and left around 12:49 pm NST.  Gone now, but for the lucky ones who managed to grab the avatar, don't forget to check out our premade Neoboard fonts.

We have some new Altador Cup Support Pixel Badges so everyone will know exactly who you're supporting! Check out these new pixel banners on the Badge page! 

Will Krawk Island be able to break the Altador Cup "Winner's Curse"?

If you're looking for more support goodies to show off your team spirit, check out our Altador Cup Goodies page, and stay tuned while we're working on even more goodies!

Thank you ShinyFurret for letting us know on Twitter that the items at the Almost Abandoned Attic sell for the same price as the 'Estimated Value (approx)' on an item's lookup. We've updated our Account Age Information page with this new info!

As the Committee gathers the paperwork together for the upcoming Altador Cup V tournament, it looks like some teams (like Krawk Island) might be undergoing some changes. Plus there's the highly likely addition of Team Moltara to the field...






Head on over to our Altador Cup Previews page to sneak a peak at what may come to a coliseum near you!

Remember to claim your Altador Cup IV prizes if you haven't already. Deadline is May 20th!

We have found the image for the Adventure of Knowledge Boots, probably the LE for the Adventure of Knowledge Mystery Capsule. We have added the preview to our Quest for Knowledge guide.

The Official Neopets Page! on facebook has just released a sneek peek at this little gem.

Moehog Day is coming up and will give us two new colours for the Moehog.

It looks like there is a new Premium Collectable Card:

Looks like the new perk has finally been found! Visit the Almost Abandoned Attic if your account is 3 years+ older to buy some items! It can be reached by clicking on the door of the southwest house in Neovia, or from the link provided. ;)

Update: Our Account Age Information guide has been updated with some more information on this new perk.

More items to buy! Yay~

You head on over to the SunnyNeo Altador Cup Goodies page... and you discover something mysterious and awesome within its contents...

It looks like a new shield!

Also, with us only being about two weeks from sign-up week for Altador Cup V, you may want to head on over to the ACIV Prize Shop to use up any remaining points from last year's event!

New colours for the Dartail and Gwalla are waiting to be released.

Tyrannian Victory Day is here! TNT has decided to update one of Neopets' oldest relics, the Giant Omelette, with new art.

We've done an update on our guide to Tarla's Tour of Mystery. We've added a section that shows how many mists you can clear week to week. Furthermore, we've also added a section that shows you how you can find out how many mists you've cleared (in case you lost track). Once you've found out, you can of course use one of our fabulous mist counters =)

In case you didn't notice yesterday, we've updated two of our sponsor activity guides.

The Capri Sun Clubhouse Guide has been updated with the latest hidden pouch.  The Kraft Mac and Cheese Stadium Explosion guide is also updated with info on the last two pieces and the bonus item.

The latest Quest of Knowledge capsule has been released, featuring Captain Threelegs and giving out a rather cool sword. We've updated our Quest for Knowledge guide with more info and a preview.

Here's Caption Contest #1,109!

We've discovered the names of quite a few unreleased items that relate to the Altador Cup. Quite a few of them look like they'll be the prizes, like snowglobes for each participating team. It also seems the Yooyu for this year's prizes will be the Snow Yooyu. We've added all these items to our Altador Cup previews page, and we hope we can add the images as soon as we find them.

The Sunnyneo Team would like to wish all the mothers out there a very happy Mothers Day :)

Capri Sun Beach Brawl

Quick and easy way to earn some Neopoints! Have fun!

What do you mean I have something in my hair!

Here are Caption #1,110 for Moehog Day and two unreleased shopkeepers!

Look's like someone's being naughty.

We need some help to cover Tarla's whereabouts. We currently do not have enough staff members to post Tarla alerts on Twitter 24/7. Because we really do want to post alerts around the clock, which is why we are looking for people who would enjoy helping out with this. We've just opened a new staff application for Tarla Alerter. If this interests you, please consider applying. If this is not your thing, have a look at our other job openings as well.

Two new shopkeepers have popped up just in time for the celebration of the downfall of the evil Monoceraptor!

From the Petpet Park Facebook:

In honour of Petpet Park’s first birthday, you will receive double scores for all mini games you play from Thursday May 6th until Thursday May 20th. Earning those Park Points for that special Birthday-themed ensemble has never been easier!

If you wanted to give your petpet a nice outfit, it may be a good idea to play games between May 6th and May 20th. It will go much faster when you get double points!

Also Fins, Feathers & Fashion will have this festive birthday shirt on sale for just one Park Point between 4-5 PM NST Friday, May 7th! Be sure to get one before the hour is up and it returns to full price.

The latest Quest for Knowledge capsule, Fyora Mystery Capsule, is now selling at the NC Mall. We've updated our guide with more information and a preview.

Also selling in the NC Mall is the monthly collectible item for May, the Extreme Potato Counter Collectors Mohawk. You can only buy this item during the month of may, after that, it'll retire forever!

Since we started our Twitter account little over two weeks ago we have received questions from users who aren't quite sure what Twitter is and how to use it. This was a reason for us to make a few tutorials on ways to use Twitter to your advantage.

As you may have noticed, we have been posting Tarla Alerts on our Twitter page. If you visit her within a few minutes after we post, you can still catch her. If you don't see our message until later you've missed her. Did you know there are some easy ways to get notified like through your phone or a simple popup with sound on your computer?

Got you interested? Visit our Twitter Help page for some step-to-step tutorials!

We have two different mist counters for you to put on your lookup (or anywhere else) to show off to everyone how often you have cleared the mist from Tarla.


They can be found on our Tarla's Tour of Mystery page along with instructions on how to use them on your lookup or elsewhere.

The fans begin to dream of the tournament to come and the Altador Cup Committee are conversing with Team Managers... The Techo Super-fan is stocking up on throat pastilles in anticipation for Altador Cup V.

What better way to fuel your enthusiasm than SunnyNeo's specially created Altador Cup Previews page with some of the latest sneak peaks?

Hissi Day is just around the corner and looks like it will be Relic and Camoflauge for the new colors!

And what do you think about these new outfits?
 

          Captain Jack versus Lady Gaga?

Neopets is back online after site maintenance.  Good morning, world!

We've added a Capri Sun Clubhouse Guide for the current sponsor activity (US players only, it seems).  We'll be keeping the Daily Trivia answers updated, as well as the hidden pouch search as new steps are released.  Don't forget to check our Mac and Cheese Stadium Guide for another current sponsor activity.

Update: The Mac and Cheese Stadium Guide is updated through May 3rd.

A new image has surfaced that may confirm Moltara's participation in this year's Altador Cup!

In every Altador Cup thus far, team participaters have been awarded their team's wearable backgrounds. An image of the Moltara Team Background has surfaced. We'll bring you more coverage on the Moltara Team's inclusion in this year's tournament as it develops.

We've added a Tarla Shield to our Shields Page.  At least you'll be able to find her somewhere!

We have found the image of the Krawk Island Adventure Sword, most likely to be the LE of the upcoming Captain Threelegs Mystery Capsule. You can see the image on our Quest for Knowledge guide.

If you're using our Map Links page to check for Tarla, we've updated a bit and added a few jelly-ful locations that aren't technically on the map.
