Advent Calendar | Secret Quiguki | Christmas Caper
Crazy Dreidel | Holiday Mix Up | Seasonal Twister

 

Have you been naughty or nice this year? It doesn’t really matter… it’s the month of giving and we’re giving away some great holiday treats for our active Guild members. At a random time each day nBnGallery will but up some goodies at the Trading Post, all you have to do is bid an item (like a Tombola item) on the trade. Good luck and enjoy your goodies! The Advent Calendar will conclude on December 25th.

Special thank you to Diana and PlumCrazy Christine for their help with the gifts.

To make it fair, if you win a lot you can’t make a bid for the next two days. You must have more than 30 posts to be eligible and have made a post on the Guild board during the week.

It’s that time of year again when the spirit of giving is all around… why not spread some holiday cheer and participate in the nBn Guild Secret Quiguki? It’s like a Secret Santa or Kris Kringle but with a Neopian theme. All you have to do is submit your username to our Secret Quiguki and make sure you tell us which category you would like to join up with. You may write up a brief wishlist if you want. You will then receive another Guild member’s name and you will buy some gifts for them. Once you’ve got the gifts, send them over to our Secret Quiguki and they will distribute the gifts on Christmas Eve. Follow the directions below…

Important: Please keep it a secret as to which Guild member you have received - it’s a Secret Quiguki after all.

1. Submit your name
Send in your username and what category you would like to participate in. We have two categories for you to choose from:

Snowball - gifts must be 5,000 NP in total
Snowflake - gifts must be 10,000 NP in total

If you would like to submit a wishlist, enter the what you would like to receive in the wishlist field. Your wishlist can be as general as you want (i.e. Faerie) or very specific (i.e. Fire Faerie). Just remember that items on your wishlist must not be more than the price of which category you have entered.

You have until 11.59pm Sunday December 11th NST to get your name and suggestion list in.

 

2. Who did you get?
Our Quiguki will then NeoMail you back with a Guild members name for whom you have to purchase a gift for and their suggestion list, if they have submitted one.

Don’t fret if your person has not submitted a suggestion list. Be creative, check out their gallery and see if they collect anything.

Make sure you are able to receive NeoMail, if you can’t receive NeoMail, you won’t be able to participate in Secret Quiguki.

You will be NeoMailed on Monday 12th December NST with the Guild members name.

 

3. Buy the gifts
Your task is now to purchase an item/s for the Guild member.

The total purchase price must not exceed 5,000 NeoPoints, if you have chosen the Snowball option. The total purchase price must not exceed 10,000 NeoPoints, if you have chosen the Snowflake option. If the gift does not cost more than the category price you have entered, then purchase some stocking stuffers.

 

4. Send the gifts
After you have purchased the gifts, you now must send them to nBnGallery. Do NOT send your gifts to the Guild member that you have received - it’s supposed to be a secret!!!

You must also NeoMail nBnGallery stating who the gifts are for and what gifts you have sent over (e.g.) My gifts - Fire Faerie and Cobrall. They are for nBnShoppe.

The reason why we ask you to send the gifts to nBnGallery is so we can keep it a surprise as to whom is buying gifts for whom.

If we have not received your gifts by the below date, you won’t be able to participate in Secret Quiguki.

You have until 11.59pm Wednesday December 21st NST to send the gifts.

 

5. Receiving the gifts
On December 24th NST our Secret Quiguki will distribute the gifts among the Guild members. Please ensure that we are able to send your gifts by clearing out your inventory.

You must have posted 30 messages on the board with your current account to be able to participate.

 


 

 

Santa Megg and her merry band of Neopian elves have made our list and we’re checking it twice. If you think you may have been unfairly labeled "naughty," you may plead your innocence to the Council! Use the below form to submit your case. You can also send suggestions, comments, questions, and bribes - but we can’t promise they’ll get you on the "nice" list.

Congratulations to everyone! You all are placed on the NICE list.

Special thanks to PlumCrazy Christine for her help.

 

Naughty

What?! I’m EricAlmighty for Dung Sakes! Why would I go and be nice? Psssshhh…nice is sooooo overrated. *throws Dung Balls at innocent chickens* - Eric

I haven’t posted regularly since I been out of the state :( - Katy

Well, one day I walked into the guild and I saw the list! Instead of just walking by it, I went to see if I was naughty or nice! Well, it seems that the council has not seen me on my worst days, because they thought I was NICE! *laughs* Little did they know, that I had weighed down the dreidel and looked through the neomail to see who MY secret quiguki was, and I even fixed the Petpet Twister so that my favorite guild members would win. I put that plushie in Faerieland, that indeed does nothing unless a very special person visits at a very special time of the day, and our especially lucky. The JUMP answers I found on the guild page, which must have been an OOPS on Megg s part. I think that I should become ruler of nBn cause I am a queen you know, a random one from York, wherever that is! Oh and the very worst thing that I did, would you like to know? The thing that makes people faint and my feet is lied about every part of this easy entry! - @lyssa

Hmmm is it time for me to brag how evil I am already? *macanical laugh* I would have to say that the evilest thing I have done this year is melt the snow in the northern chicken pole :) Poor elven chickens won’t get to have their annual snowball fight, hee. Well, that’s what they had coming to them after they gave me that rancid cheese for Christmas. Bring on the Coal, Santa Megg :) - Danny

Dear Santa Megg,
Ahhh, well, where do I start? It has been quite a terrible year for me, but I would say that I haven’t handled things as I should’ve. I would say it’s quite possible that I have been put on the naughty list and while I’m not saying that I deserve to be on the nice list, I would say I still deserve pressies, definitely. I do not know exactly why anyone would argue to be put on the naughty list and as I said I am not exactly going to argue to be put on the nice list. But I wil beg, "Santa Megg, OH, pleeeease, please, pleeeeaaaasssee, please, please, please, please. I’m on my hands and knees for chicken’s sake!" Hehe, I’m just kidding.*wink wink*
As Happinator @!Y$$@ pointed out in one of her posts after my supreme reign as November MOTM, I disappeared for over a week at the beginning of the month, leaving all of my fellow chickens that had obeyed me so graciously during the previous month in despair and confusion as they were acclimating to their new lovely MOTM Lizard Lesly. I am quite ashamed of my actions or rather lack of action. Also I may have been a little harsh during my reign — sorry I couldn’t say that with a straight face. I was not nearly harsh enough, but alas my domination has now ended. Uh, oh. I better stop before I get myself in more trouble. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Yours Truly ~ Jenny Lynn

Yeah we all know being nice is overrated. Besides, it’s no fun. But I guess it is confession time. Remember the night we were all too scared to sleep because Megg found all that fox hair around the loose board on the chicken house? Yeah, I did that hehehe! Do I belong on the naughty list, yeah probably do ;-) - Erica

Dear Santy Megg~
I admit that I’ve been somewhat naughty as of late, but I blame it on receiving a handful of humbugs on the 1st day of the Advent Calendar. I am absolutely sure that I would have remained my everyday nicest if it had not been for that prize! I mean, really, can I be held responsible for my actions after that incident? I haven’t been able to finish my Christmas shopping, haven’t wrapped a single present for the kidz, and I haven’t even mailed my cards yet! Now some naysayers might tell you that’s par for the course for me, but I implore you! Do not listen to those rudies that accuse me of being a procrastinator! I prefer to think of myself as a deliberate chicken. I’m simply saying that certain events sometimes prevent my good intentions to come to full fruition. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Just like those humbugs I mentioned earlier. Remember? See, it’s not my fault.
Truly. So, in reality, I’m only naughty on the outside! Yeah, yeah, I’m liking this vers– erm, I mean, explanation much better. So there you go, o’ wise and generous Meggie-moo, Mistress of the Almost Almighty Coop, I beseech you! Show a little mercy for this fallen chicken… the Sugar Plum Snow Flake, formerly known as Christine

Hehe, Santa Megg, you better post this thing on the guild webbie.
Oops did someone actually hear that?
Muhaha I am not putting my name because I wish to be annonymous, although most of you can probobly guess who this is =P Yeah, I am a goofball, but I do sad things when I am bored, like being naughty!…and humorous! But I will never admit to my wrong doings, because most of you wouldn’t believe that I could be so evil! Well, I am off to obtain more avatars, maybe even steal Chocky’s because it is so delicious. Now if that didn’t give it away, and give my secret identity to the public, nothing will.
Oh, and yes, this is naughty because I didn’t fill in my username! *audience gasps* *evil laughter* - Unknown?!

 

Nice

I am so so so so so nice! Trust me! Hey remember the time when I donated Megg’s McDonalds’s plushie to Charity? Yes, I do. :) I felt it was a very good deed. :D Anyway. I have been *nice* and *helpful* to my younger siblings. Please please, may I have some candy. See? I’m very polite too. :) - Meepit

Plead my case… Well, I’m nice to everyone and try very hard to participate in guild events. I lurk on the guild board, but can’t always post. Yea, I’m a nice one this year… - Chriser

Ok, yes, I put fake giant flies in my sister’s slippers and bed, yes to spending more time on the computer than I was supposed to, and yes to secretly overeating those mini hershey chocolate bars that my dad was trying so hard to hide. I have been just a tiny, tiny bit naughty. But for the most part, I was really nice! Why did I put the fake flies in my sister’s slippers? Well….. that was one of the bad moments. Why did I spend so much time on the computer? To hang out with my fellow, wonderful guildies in my wonderful guild called nBn. Why have I been overeating on my dad’s chocolate hershey bars? Because I care for him of course! The doctor told him to lose 20 pounds, so I am helping him out! You see how much I care?? I am actually getting fatter for the common good. I have been nice. I really have! Here, I’ll give my sister a hug. Ok? Satisfied? Please please please Santa keep me on the nice list! I’ll change! And I already am! Please and thank you Santa! - Katcha

Dearest Santa Megg,
I’ve tried my best to be the best lil elf I could this year! I really have! I’ve tried my best to be nice to everyone, and I’ve done justice for the guild! I really wanna be on the nice list, so thank you very much!!! - Morgan

I’m nice… I think… I try to post, but I’m too busy studying! That’s not my fault, right? It’s my teachers who are naughty!! And Ive been nice enough to my sister!! And I’ve worked hard to get grades!! Isn’t that being nice?? - Patricia

Dear Santa,
I’m nice because I made cookies for all my friends at school, and even went without any myself so that my sister would have enough to take to her friends. I’ve also done her chores for the last three months, since she’s afraid of the dark. AND, I even restrained myself from calling my best friend "Mouse" when she lost her voice! Therefore, I’m a nice person. Of course I am. :) - Chocky

 

 


 

 

EricAlmighty was sitting on the beach sweating in the hot sun (it was mid December but it WAS Texas) pondering what he could do to celebrate the holidays. He really couldn’t see how to do any fun Christmas activities in hot weather so he got another idea. He would play a classic Jewish event with the nBn chickens called Crazy Dreidel.

Each chicken will start out with ten pieces of candy. Each week for 4 weeks, participating chickens will pick a number and at the END of the week each, the numbers will randomly correspond to a symbol found on the Dreidel.

If a chicken picks a number that corresponds to the symbol Nun they won’t lose or gain any candies.
If they pick a number that corresponds to Gimmel, they win the 4 candies.
If they pick a number that corresponds to Hay, they win 2 candies.
Finally if they pick a number that corresponds to Shin, they lose 3 candies.

The numbers will NOT have the same symbol each week so choose wisely!

Week 4 submissions must be in before 11.59pm Friday December 30th NST. This is the final week.
You can still play if you didn’t enter the previous 3 weeks.

Special thanks to EricAlmighty for his help.

You must have posted 10 messages on the board with your current account to be able to participate and have posted 1 quality message on the board during the week.
