I have a somewhat perpetually dying pet. I’m wardel8 with CauchySchwartz, a green Kougra. ---

I hate to admit, but I too am a neopets addict. I have had an account there for almost a year, because my sister-in-law told me how cool it was so I checked it out. I spend most of my time trying to get as many nps as I can in my bank account. (finally hit 350,000) Anyway, I have a blue and a red Kacheek, and something else I just adopted that I cannot remember the name of. I also collect as much Kacheek stuff as I can to keep in my shop on display. ---

I confess I have an account there too. My name on there is psyche0123. I’ve only been playing for a little over a month though. My favorite game on there is Destructo Match ---

I used to (and may still have) an account there. My pet’s name was Ryasha or something like that. She’s probably dead by now, it’s been over a year since I’ve been there. ---

I’m such a lying cheater I have TWO neopets accounts- PBrosnan and Darien\_qsm\_fawkes. I have five neopets in all- a Kacheek, a Peophin, a Nimmo, a Quiggle and a Chia. I never feed them either! I have a house, and I am always trying to improve my pets although I have never once battled and am too scared to. I just hang around and try to make money (neopoints). Merla ---

Feed your pets! Those bits of magnetic material on a webserver’s harddrive someplace _need_ food too! 😛 ---

I had a Neopet a couple of years ago. I totally forgot about Neopets. I always thought it was dumb because you couldn’t really do anything with them. ---

This is so cool! I am no longer embarassed that I play Neopets! Okay, well, not AS embarassed! I have been playing for over two years. I’m evilbeth there too. I have four pets–a green Korbat named tablive, a green Nimmo named Primogenitus, a yellow Meerca named Meercalim and (are you ready?) a red Grundo named Cecil\_Adams! My pets have petpets too. Cecil\_Adams has a Slorg named Marrcklargh, Primogenitus has a Polarchuck named Pudgy and Meercalim has a Psimouse named Strike and tablive has a Furwitch named Familiar. I have a crappy little shop that never does any business. I am a Cheat champion and a Go, Go, Go champion too. I need a life! ---

I’ve had an account since back before books were one time use only! (Man, those were the days.) I haven’t been there in a while though since I don’t have a mouse right now. My username is jetamors, and I have three pets: a Kacheek named TristanaJuliana, a Grundy named Caribdas, and a Shoyru named Sukkhi. I make/made enough off Cheat to feed my pets (I think I’m a champion) but I never had petpet money or anything like that. ---

My wife and kid play Neopets quite a bit. I don’t own a pet myself, but I do play games for them to win NeoPoints and if I have the computer between 5 and 6 I visit the Snowager on their behalf. ---

I always thought it was dumb because you couldn’t really do anything with them. I could have written this post. Except it’s hard for me to actually forget since I can’t get them to stop sending me spam. ---

I play neopets, I’ve been a member since 2000. I have a Kougra named Keleauna, and a Kacheek named Aunolin. My fav games are, Meristones (am a fanatic for Manacala, I still think they set meristones up backwards) Kiosk Scratchcard Game (I want to buy a scratchcard more then once a day! _whines_)and Destruct-o Match. I have a shop too, that never makes any profit either. And those stupid faeries won’t quit bugging me to get them stuff. Do I have faerie slave/gopher stamped on my forehead or something? _huffs, lol_ Hey has anyone actually ever gotten any huge np’s from the wheel of excitement or kiosk scratchcard game? I’ve never won a big prize, just a green poogle toy(scratch card) and 2,000 np (WoE). ---

Oh yeah, and the fairy Kougra is ugly! And I adore and salivate over the baby paintbrush. Those baby neopets are adorable. More so, housing is ridiculous. _huff_ ---

Yep, I got a couple of accounts… main one is **Onugu** , other accounts are used as guilds or galleries. I generally play every day… hee! 😃 I did write a huge website Helpguide for Neopets, but it’s so amazingly out of date I’m embarrassed to give you the link. However I won Site Spotlight for my pets page, CarpeDeum, on How To Avoid Scams. Rar! 😃 ---

If you want to delete your account because you don’t play any more, go to [Contacting Neopets.com](http://www.neopets.com/contact.phtml) and look for “Removing Your Account.” I was wondering if anyone had info about the new Lost Desert scrolls created about a month ago. There used to be a player who kept a remarkably detailed and instantly updated master book list, but alas, he seems to have stopped playing. Does anyone have a master book list source they find reliable? I would like to know the new scroll titles. Thanks! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/neopets-dopers/171277.md?page=1)
