Snowball Fight
For the month of December we’re going to have a Snowball fight! The White Snowball Plushies will start off from the nBnGallery account and then sent to random Guild members. When a Guild member gets the White Snowball Plushie they have to then throw it to another Guild member and so on. Try to throw the White Snowball Plushie at Guild members who are active, check the Guild board to see who has posted lately. We’re not going to be keeping track of where the White Snowball Plushie go, just throw them around the Guild for fun! There are 60 White Snowball Plushie to throw around.
Event is active until December 31st 2009 NST.
Wintery Petpet Scramble
All the members of nBn Guild were recently assembling their Christmas petpets for the annual Holiday Petpet Photo! All of the sudden, the Turmaculus attacked and gobbled up all the petpets! Luckily, he spit them all out, but all of the petpets were a bit scrambled up :( Can you help the members determine the colour and species of each petpet?

Holiday Word Scramble
Once again, the chickens of nBn Coop were preparing to decorate for the holidays when suddenly, a cheese-craving Drackonack attacked! The shopping list was torn to bits! Help the nBn chickens rearrange all of the item names into legible holiday items.

12 Day of Chicken
For the next 12 days a verse of the popular Christmas carol "Twelve Days of Christmas" will be posted here, but it has an nBn Guild twist, it’s about chickens! Can you be the first Guild member to post on the board the first line of the day’s verse as your subject? The difficult part is, your post must be a regular day’s post, not just a short post and the first line of the day’s verse must be in the subject not the body of your post.
You must have more than 10 posts on the Guild board to be eligible to participate.

Advent Calendar
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 a junk item (like a Tombola item) on the trade. Good luck and enjoy your goodies! The Advent Calendar will conclude on December 25th. To make it fair, you can only receive an Advent Calendar gift every second day.
You must have more than 10 posts on the Guild board to be eligible to participate and have made 1 quality post on the Guild board during the week.

Secret Quiguki
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 wish list 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…
You must have more than 10 quality posts on the Guild board to be eligible to participate and have made 1 quality post on the Guild board during the week.
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 wish list, enter the what you would like to receive in the wish list field. Your wish list can be as general as you want (i.e. Faerie) or very specific (i.e. Fire Faerie). Just remember that items on your wish list must not be more than the price of which category you have entered.
You have until 11.59pm Friday 11 December, 2009 NST to get your name and wish 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 Sunday 13 December, 2009 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 fun 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 nbngallery.
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 23 December, 2009 NST to send the gifts.

Cariedi loves bells and the beautiful sounds they make. She decided to decorate the guild room with lots of different bells and give everyone the opportunity to play these unique instruments. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know exactly how to describe the bells to her inquisitive guildmates. Please, help her. Can you match each bell to it’s description?

Naughty or Nice
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.
Entries are now closed.
| Naughty |
| Bella - I had made my new year’s resolution last year to be more active in the guild… and failed horribly. I haven’t achieved any of the other resolutions I set either like getting more avvies or themes either. |
| Elm - I stocked up on White Plushie Snowballs throughout the year so that I’d have lots to throw around the guild site this year. |
| Nice |
| Renee - I’ve been trying hard to post as much as I possibly can when I am able, be a helpful chook, and have met over half my goals this year! |
| Blade - So… how about: A negg for Megg keeps the naughty list dead? |
| Mama Bear - I know I am sometimes naughty but I try always to be nice. This is what I have learned at top chop. Be very nice and do not hurt a living creature. Okay when the big bad boochie turned me baby I wanted to be very naughty. But Mamabear assured me that if I continue to be nice I would become the great warrior that I have been practicing so hard to be. And Mamabear always tells me that I am nice so I cant be naughty. |
| Elle - I haven’t plead my allegiance to Dr. Sloth this year! |
