I think in theory, CoM was planned with good intentions, where we could do either/or, but not both, but it was poorly executed, with the ranks, as well as the things for supporters to do. I would have no problem with a plot designed like that, as long as it was done well.

Although, I guess that would pose problems for those who want to do both :/

I hope this is a good combination puzzle/battle plot, but with the emphasis on battle this time(since we've had combination plots with the emphasis on puzzles most recently). This is just an idea I lifted from Kingdom of Loathing, but perhaps Neopets could make it so battles are affected by the supporter puzzles you've solved(if you assembled a laser cannon every win against a starting opponent is worth double points, if you built fortifications around your encampment then the Mechanical Skeiths do 10% less damage against you, et cetera). The puzzles would still be worth points in and of themselves, but they would make battling much more interesting.

Like eveyone else I am excited with a new plot. I was expecting a winter plot, but Sloth is even better.

I am almost at my next boost (thank goodness because the codies are already rising), so I will be as prepared as I ever will be for a fight.

I do a plot guide every time, so I am in the midddle of doing that.

I can't believe my luck with this one - I am on 2 weeks holiday, so I will get a good headstart on it before heading back to work.

ZOMG plot!

It's about time, and I'm uber excited...even though if this involves excessive amounts of battling, I'm not exactly up to standards.

*squee* A plot! Although, argh as well :) I'm leaving in about 10 hours to go overseas on a work conference for four days... dare I login to Neopets from my work laptop? How embarassing if the IT department catches me out!

Hope it's slightly puzzle-heavy, as my battle pet is nowhere near ready for a decent battle.

Wheeee! A new plot! And, it's Sloth!

In the puzzle plots, TNT mixes in various fights for the battledomers. If this turns out to be a war, there needs to be something for us non-battlers/less enthusiastic battlers to do. It's only fair.

If this is a Sloth related plot, are they FINALLY going to do something with The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity? During every plot, newbies (quite reasonable) start asking about it, and it's about time that it was actually involved somehow. Hopefully, after this plot, it will either disappear or it will at least be less sad.

*Delurks due to plot*
I'm curious to see if that is Cylara on page three.

If that is, they REALLY changed her. I could be wrong though and something might happen to that poor Cybunny. Just going to have to wait and see.

On page two you see a computerised image of Cylara, so even if the cybunny we see is not her, we can still see that she has changed. The information says she is 16, so we can attribute any changes to her growing up. :)

Cylara and Grimix are in the Gallery of Hereos.

plotplotplotplotplot... wheeeee!
I joined neopets in time to participate in ToW and the Mysterious Voyage plots, and I'm hoping for something similar- puzzles and some battling. My pet's at 1.5 boost and I can't do a full-on war!
Or whatever, just so they make it that if you don't fight you still get decent plot points.

So glad I convinced my parents to get a DSL connection last October. :lol:

Bah, I log on PPT for the first time in months and the plot hasn't actually started yet? Curse you TNT, everything is aimed to make me stalk the forums and therefore fail my exams :P

Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!!! This is great! I missed it last night.

I also would like a mixture. I have a slow dialup *sigh.* So I hope I can do the whole thing.

My husband just went and bought the ghostkerbomb he's been thinkin' about buying for a while, so I'm not surprised that prices are inflating.
I guess making it through Neoquest II at the time I did was good, at least. <3

I'm definitely a puzzler myself (although some of the last altador puzzles made me want to throw my compy in the lake!!)
I don't think my babies are quite up for a battle...they could maybe take on some smaller minions though ^_^

YEA!!!! I've been soooo impatient waiting for a new plot. Though it figures, I just sold a couple of codestones a few days ago. If only I waited... I'm just glad work is slow right now. I'll actually have plenty of time to work on the plot!
Edit: LOL is just got a codestone from Tombola. I guess it IS useful to complain :D
