Hi! This is our webpage! (DUH!) I would just like to take this opportunity to say: We, the A.F.H.N. DO NOT have "contests" or "games" we have "FUN" and we do not reward the "FUN" players with "PRIZES" :) (Good, it's all legal now) Click above for game help, calendar, and MORE! :) KRAZIE70601: This story is more of embarrassing than anything else....And just remember this is no thanks to ashstar....Well this story takes place when my grandmother came out to visit....On the first night upon arriving to New Orleans to show my grandma a good time in the big easy....Well the first night after making the long 3 hour drive (with 3 kids) and searching the French quarters for a visitors center to find the best hotel deal....We were really tired....so we finally find a hotel and get a room. So then we decide that we are gonna go get something for dinner and we run down to the local IHOP for dinner... after about the longest meal we could possible have do to the poor service we return to the hotel. Once we get there we realize that we had promised the kids they could go swimming, so off to the pool we go. We are out there at the pool and just swimming away having a blast. Well soon after we get down to the pool a group of about 8 people show up and are sitting at one of the tables there along side of the pool having some beers. Then out of the blue my son Dakota says he has to go to the bathroom. ...Well miss ashstar under her breath says go use the bush... well thats all it took and my son with is super sonic hearing heard what she said. So next thing I know I turn around and my son has his swim trunks down at his ankles. I tell him to pull his shorts up and I would take him to the bathroom, but since he realized that everybody was laughing including ashstar and the 8 other people at the pool he starting showing off. Yes with his shorts around his ankles he is running around laughing and searching all the bushes, just like a dog searching for his territory. Well it finally got to the point where I had to ok him to go in the bush cause every time I got near him he would run from me....and of coarse this hole time ashstar is busting at the seams laughing, while I am in shock that he is running around butt naked....so he finally finds the perfect bush and goes to the bathroom and trust me just like a typical man he had to show off doing that too, dancing around and all while going to the bathroom. I was horrified...I just couldn’t believe the whole pool thought it was so funny and just laughing away...so as you can see miss ashstar is the reason for my embarrassment. And ashstar all she could say was at least he didn’t go in the pool! Upcoming FUN: Storytelling FUN - I'll post a list of 10 words to be used in a short story. I will pick the best one and it will be posted here (Occassional?) (C/O Xena2564 and Kikara) Beauty FUN - Just like the Beauty Contest for your pets. I dunno if we'll have voting, maybe. (Occassional?) (C/O Xena2564) New to Neopets? Here are some tips: 1) Open a shop, but keep it as small as possible. Sell everything you get, even the junk. Check your prices with the shop wizard and keep them low but fair. To sell the items for sure, price them at 1NP below the cheapest shop wiz price. 2) Keep your eye open for scams: Do not let someone "baby-sit" your account. They WILL steal it. It happened to me. If someone says "bid on this item" or "buy this item from my shop" and they will "give you a baby paint brush" it is a scam, don't do it. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Posting a bunch of messages or trades will not get you a paint brush or anything. It will only get you in trouble. Never give anyone any NP or items in exchange for some type of "secret." You can NOT I repeat NOT get NP or items from any website that does not begin with www.neopets.com. Do not go to just anyone's non-neopets website-it could have a thing called a "cookie-grabber" this can steal your Neopets user name and password. If you want to know where a "secret land" exists, or even if it does exist, just ask someone, a council member, or even in the Help Chats. They will tell you for free. If you're unsure about something, ask a neofriend or member of the guild. 3) Do not beg for items or NP. This is rude and no one likes it. We all start out with the same amount of NP and items, we get our NP and items by playing games, selling our items, doing what we can to make our NP. 4) You can get free stuff every day such as: 1 free omelette in Tyrannia on the Plateau, a free spin on the Tombola on Mystery Island and the Fruit Machine in the Lost Desert, a free visit to Coltzan's Shrine in the Lost Desert, which could get you levels, food, even dubloons and MORE! You can go to the healing springs in Faerieland every half hour, so if your pet's hit points are down, or if they're sick, you can get healed for free. 5)Do not spend your NP on stuff you don't need. Your pets don't actually live in the Neohome, it's just a way to waste your NP to show off (it is fun, though, so when you have NP to spare, you could get one, but it's expensive), Don't paint your pets (Again, wait until you have lots of NP to spare) and you can keep your pets stuffed for 5NP per day-just put them in the neolodge in the cheapest hotel (Cockroack hotel I think it's called) and that only costs 25NP for 5 days. Then they will probably not be hungry for another 5 days after that! I hate to use the term rules though. It's more like standards we should all keep to maintain such a great guild :) 1) Please show respect for other members, and their ideas and beliefs. If you do not share them, please keep any negative comments to yourself (unless it's in good fun, such as "nah, I'm not a big fan of harry Potter myself") 2) If you want to invite any person to join the guild you *MUST* have conversations with ALL council members first and give them reasons why they would or we would benefit from having them in the guild, even if you are on council yourself. Once all council members have told you that they would like that person in the guild, then you may invite them. You are taking responsibility of the person or persons you invite. If you have convinced council that they are good for the guild and then they end up doing something that causes them to be kicked out, that falls on you, you will not be able to invite any members for up to a month after. This is for the good of the guild. We don't have many rules here but I think you'll all agree that this is a good policy. I'm sorry for being so harsh, but I feel it's for the good of the guild. 3) Have fun :) © 2003 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission |
