Editorial 169: Keep Calm and Carry On

Posted by Dream
Posted on February 4, 2012, 2:56 am NST

These have been some dark days for Jellyneopians. Robot Meepits and DreamHost server gremlins conspired to throw the site into repeated, unexpected downtime and leave innocent users lacking in precious facts. But their fiendish machinations will not stop this week's edition of the JN Editorial from coming out on time, oh no!

We shall fight them in the Content Department. We shall fight them in the Neopian Museum. We shall fight them with walls of overly-semicolon-ridden text. We shall fight them with answers about Habitariums and plot length, we shall fight them with answers about quests and dailies, we shall fight them with answers about side account regulations.

-> And we shall never surrender! <-

With the Meepits hopefully cleared out of the pipes for good this time, the coast is clear for the next editorial to be handled by the ever capable Illy two weeks from now. If you have a question for her to answer, go ahead and get in touch! Don't forget to check the Database first to make sure there isn't already a shiny answer ready and waiting for you, though.

How strange, these are just lying around on the floor... They look like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Well, might as well gather them up in one place.

once all pieces are in right place, they won't stay there after you revisit.

jweb, 02/4/2012, 4:09 am NST

Hmm, there's not much to work with at the moment.
Maybe you'll find more pieces later.

louvainemazonas, 02/4/2012, 4:14 am NST

What do we do when we have the pieces sorted? I have 4 and they seem complete...

thaylancampeche, 02/4/2012, 4:15 am NST

There are more pieces hidden?

flairina, 02/4/2012, 4:25 am NST

I don't get it, am I supposed to be looking for these pieces? Because I just see the grey box on that page that says it'll be clickable once it's done loading.

thaylancampeche, 02/4/2012, 4:28 am NST

There's a button with "View the pieces you have", you must click it, so the pieces show up

lizzaann, 02/4/2012, 4:54 am NST

Dream, you are awesome

Picturebreakssss - <3

flairina, 02/4/2012, 4:57 am NST

Had to install Firefox to get it to work. :|

rainbow_daydreamer - JN Staff, 02/4/2012, 4:59 am NST

Upstaged by a jigsaw; such is my life xD

melinda_kacheek, 02/4/2012, 5:30 am NST

Are more going to come out?

13germandames, 02/4/2012, 7:03 am NST

Do we have to hunt for the pieces?

nick - JN Staff, 02/4/2012, 8:33 am NST

"Hmm, there's not much to work with at the moment.
Maybe you'll find more pieces later."

Accent on the later.

dacio, 02/4/2012, 8:58 am NST

Is this, (please say yes), the big secret project?

If it isn't, then I'm sue it's part of the future negg hunt

maliechen, 02/4/2012, 9:46 am NST

I'm curious what this will be about

Also - the pieces don't stay in place after revisiting!

vincent7577, 02/4/2012, 11:01 am NST

@Dacio- I am pretty sure it's the Negg Hunt.

The big secret project would be nice, but I like the secret.

pikachu315111, 02/4/2012, 11:45 am NST

@ nick:
So I'm going to take that as of right now there is nothing to be looking for?

bunny_alchemist, 02/4/2012, 12:25 pm NST

Uh... is Internet Explorer 8 new enough for the puzzle to work? Because I wait and wait and the button doesn't get clickable... I want Negg Hunt hints too if that's what this is about...!

pikachu315111, 02/4/2012, 12:28 pm NST

About digging up to Lutari Island from Moltara, it's said that Lutari Island is able to move (at least it used to move around, it seemed to have anchored itself nowadays). So, much like with Krawk Island, it's probably not connected to the sea floor thus can't be dig up to (unless you think the waters under the island is safe to swim through once you break through).

gypsy1_4_4, 02/4/2012, 12:29 pm NST

Its too early for the negg hunt

gapi19, 02/4/2012, 12:50 pm NST

way too early

13germandames, 02/4/2012, 1:17 pm NST

They probably mean / like / the Negg Hunt?

marmeladoff, 02/4/2012, 1:36 pm NST

Long live the Quee- I mean, Dave!

illusioniste - JN Staff, 02/4/2012, 2:22 pm NST

It won't work with Internet Explorer 8, but it does with Internet Explorer 9.

Tried to do some workarounds for IE, but... it just ended up being a big headache. :s

bramblefire123, 02/4/2012, 4:51 pm NST

@Dream-I loved it!

Would have been nice to see your contraption at work.

scifi - JN Staff, 02/4/2012, 5:31 pm NST

@pikachu
I wouldn't worry about swimming up to the island, so much as holding on while the oceans of Neopia drain into Moltara through the shaft.

dacio, 02/4/2012, 6:12 pm NST

@Gypsy and Gapi: In 2011. the first clue for the Negg Hunt was given in the New Year. This is pretty much the same, but later

agent_711, 02/4/2012, 9:48 pm NST

This is one intriguing little event. I can't wait for more puzzle pieces to come out.

gapi19, 02/5/2012, 2:53 am NST

@dacio: I know, but it was being revealed sponaniously and didn't involve users solving anything.

And I would be really greatful, if someone could fix the puzzle, so the pieces stay in a place, once the puzzle is complete.

summra - JN Staff, 02/5/2012, 4:53 am NST

Any reason why I can't get the pieces to go beyond the right side of the available space? I try to drag some over to the left side of the grey and a force field kicks in.

chesu - JN Staff, 02/5/2012, 5:48 am NST

You can only move the pieces around within the space they'll occupy when the puzzle is completed. If you can't get two pieces to go together because the area is too small, you have them oriented the wrong way.

dacio, 02/5/2012, 6:31 am NST

@Gapi: This is just like a "preview". It' not involving users to solve anything because there are just 4 pieces in the puzzle so far. You have to wait for more to appear.

Anyway, there still a possibility for it to be the secret project

jazzeh, 02/5/2012, 2:51 pm NST

I can only move each piece in a very small area. Is that normal or is my browser screwing up? o.o

jazzeh, 02/5/2012, 2:52 pm NST

...never mind. Yay for not reading other posts! /shot

summra - JN Staff, 02/5/2012, 9:24 pm NST

Sardine pieces... all crammed into one tiny area. :O

chesu - JN Staff, 02/5/2012, 9:52 pm NST

Phenomenal cosmic powers... Itty bitty living space.

agent_711, 02/5/2012, 10:19 pm NST

If you look at the puzzle when putting those four pieces together you can see, what I believe it to be, someone's hair. Or maybe it's fire or something, I don't know.

Speaking of hair, every time I look at the Rainbow Highlight Wig I think of FlutterJen. Especially when I preview it on a Uni. O_O

gracellebunny, 02/6/2012, 6:28 am NST

I think its Jhudora

grog - JN Staff, 02/6/2012, 10:20 am NST

1000 points to Bearded Carrot Man Chesu for the Aladdin reference!

chesu - JN Staff, 02/6/2012, 10:52 am NST

Thankyou, thankyou.

alabamasax, 02/6/2012, 6:14 pm NST

It almost looks like the hair from the battle faerie.

noswal_yogurt, 02/16/2012, 7:22 pm NST

I bet it is the Negg Hunt Title for this year.
