I suppose the main reason you'd check here without getting your prizes first, is if you want to check to find out if there's a glitch like the one there was earlier.

The keychain is surprisingly lovely. Its so very shiny! I was hoping for a KQ token though :(
I think that animation takes the cake for the shortest one yet. Its something like 6 seconds long.
Wanna donate towards my drink gallery, the Golden Goblet.

This. I avoid coming here before picking up my prizes because I like the surprise. In the past this has meant I've fallen foul to glitches which I could have known about if I'd come here. Or like today when clicking collect doesn't seem to be doing anything. So I come to NC to check if anyone else has the problem and... well there they are, impossible to avoid. Turns out at least someone *is* able to collect them. And now I won't be surprised.

I could see more argument for not having to spoilertext discussion of the prizes, because that doesn't so much leap out at you the second you load the page. But I still think it's a considerate thing to do. I know the words "paint brush" would inevitably leap out at me from a block of text ;0)

Come on, it's only one little click which takes no time at all to load - is that really so much trouble?

And after all that... am I the only person who can't collect a prize today? It simply reloads the page (although it's the correct process_adventcalendar url).

Oh, that's interesting. It works if I navigate in from the Explore page, but not from the link at the bottom of New Features. *Investigates* Ah-ha! The link in New Features has a stray "/" at the end, which breaks the process. Ooops.

I'm going to say that the official line is that spoiler tags are not required, but they are polite, so if you want to add them, please do. Especially on days when paint brushes are given out, hehehe.

I also prefer spoiler tags, personally, as I like to be surprised.

Yeah, I like spoiler tags. I click on these threads because I am sort of compulsive about clicking on all the new thread links that are at all interesting, and there might be some information in here that's interesting without spoiler-y. But, yeah, whatever works. I mean I probably should just go get my prizes first but it seems like to much trouble for some reason. We are all lazy in our own different internet ways, I guess.

Huh? *looks*

*headeskx1000*

See, this is what happens when I do other stuff while watching Dexter kill people. I hit the wrong file when I upload something to photobucket, and then, I still don't notice when copying the URL, because come on, Dexter, with a scalpel in his hand!!, and then I do stupid stuffs. xDD

Sorry, all, and especially you, Zebru. I wasn't trying to jam your vibes. xD

*fixes*

ROFL XD Kamil, I hope you know I wasn't trying to be all WTF BITCH CHANGE YOUR AVATAR >:(

But thank you all the same xD Much less confusing now! I guess it shows how dependent we all are on avatars to recognize people xD

Heheh, no worries, I was convinced my computer was acting up - like that odd time when there was inexplicably a neopets item in my subeta inventory...

I'm sure you could have only improved my image while doing your devious doppelganging ;)

@ Officer 1BDI - Agreed 100%.. Though the cuteness of the other prize almost makes up for it.

Oddly appropriate too, since my labs decided to spit out a Christmas colour change today :/

Totally! It would be perfect and fun and delightful as a wearable...now it's just kind of annoying.
