EDITORIAL

To the WHOLE Council:
What are your real life goals/aspirations? Be serious, now... :P - esmivida

To make my wife and my little bear (and horse) happy. (Awww... yes, I know, but it's true.)
And also to take over the world. Seriously. - Nate

I don't know. No seriously, I'm 24. You're not supposed to know this stuff at 24. This is the time in life where you question everything for the second time (The first being some period after high school at the conclusion of which you think you have it all figured out. You're wrong.). - Jen

Wow. I suppose making it through the college years looming in my future alive would be nice! - Jessi

What a question! To pay off my house one day...? Have an actual holiday...? Seriously, I'm more of a living in the moment kind of a girl. I just try to be happy, and have those I care about be happy too. None of these grandiose world-taking-over plans for me. - Sophie

To pay off my college debt! After college I'd like to get a cool job that I absolutely love. Something like designing web pages and other interactive applications. - Swoopes

Who here thinks there should be a Turmac Roll avatar on Neopets?  I do!  check my user lookup! - trekky6

I don't think so. That'd just be one more avatar I can't get because I'm no good at that game. And if I can't get an avatar, then no one should be able to!! *evil cackle* - Nate

I've never played the game--so I won't say. - Jen

I'm actually pretty good at Turmac roll... But no, because the avatar would require about 500 more points than I can normally make, and then I'd never come on TNO and spend all day playing Turmac Roll instead. So no. - Sophie

If they make the avatar, will you get the avatar for me? I stink at that game. - Swoopes

To the WHOLE Council:
How did each of you council members get to your spot? - Peggy

I bribed my way to the top. How else? - Nate

I batted my eyelashes a lot. And learned a lot of random coding.. - Jen

I stayed in their hair for so long they had to give me an official title. - Jessi

I have no clue. You'll have to ask the others! ;^^ - Sophie

Like Sophie, I'm not really sure. They just asked me. They must of been suffering from lack of sleep or something. - Swoopes

To the WHOLE Council:
If you were in the middle of nowhere in a cage with no way of getting out and there was a panther in the cage with you, what would you do? - Stormez

Eat him. After all, I'm bound to get hungry being stuck in a cage in the middle of nowhere. - Nate

Cuddle up with him and take a nap! Nice kitty! - Jen

Share with him the rewards of a vegan lifestyle! - Jessi

Complain about my lack of an internet connection. - Sophie

I'd train him to do tricks to entertain the local monkeys. - Swoopes

To the WHOLE Council:
When's your birthday? - crystalxice27

In October. - Nate

7/7 (Guess my lucky number now!). - Jen

November 15th. - Jessi

April 13th - Sophie

January 14th. - Swoopes

Out of curiosity, will you ever be offering jobs to JHO's or GTH? If so, which ones? Thanks! - DudeOfBruces99

Yes, I'm thinking of making them all my slaves. It's a great job - trust me. - Nate

Some positions are open to GTH already. As for JHO, it's less likely. It's not very difficult to obtain GTH, and most positions require some degree of reliability, which becoming GTH or higher indicates. - Jen

To the WHOLE Council:
I'm not sure how many times you may/may not have been asked this, but, I was wondering what your favorite pets were. Not favorite coloring, but favorite pet that you own, or the one you feel most attached to. And why xD *choppy question* Thanks =D - Uslibra

Edgz, my Mynci, and Mikey my Chia because they're my permies - my one and onlies. - Nate

Most would expect me to say SqueekyPenguin, my Bruce. Actually it's My_Barnabus, my Cloud Elephante. I have a large stuffed elephant that I've had forever named Elephante, which my old roommate used to call Barnabus. My_Barnabus reminds me of him - Jen

I must say that would be Blivitor. I can't help but relish in the cuddly-comfort of a baby pet! - Jessi

I really don't have a favorite out of the three permies on my main account. I love Azaryne, Liri and Cora all equally. Sorry! - Sophie

Don't tell the others, but it would have to be Pacifyer. He was the first pet I ever painted with an actual paintbrush plus I was able to adopt him from Jessi which was special. More importantly though, I often role played Pace with a friend who recently passed away. Our two babies were the best of friends so Pace has lots of good memories associated with him. - Swoopes

How do we adopt a pet if we don't have neomail????? - minnie737

No neomail? I guess you'd have to find some way to contact the foster parent to apply in the first place. After that, you could use the same way to contact them to arrange the transfer. If you have no way at all to contact someone, then there's no way to adopt a pet. - Nate

I clicked foster sign up! And it said "Hold on there buddy. You'll need a password to get in here. We're tryin' to keep out the riff-raff." My question is what is the password?

The only way to know that is to become a Billo Gold parent. - Nate

That guy sure is mean! I guess you'll have to go to the academy first!

To the WHOLE Council:
How long have each of you been in council? Do you feel like that's too much, not enough, etc? - Peggy

I don't remember. I'm old, you see. And I'm senile and easily distracted. Hey! What's that over there?? - Nate

I don't remember how long....but I remember the day Di and Cat asked me. I was staying in a hotel at that time (while looking at apartments) and was completely aghast. And my friend kept asking me to get offline because we only had one computer between us.... - Jen

I'm not sure...I should have kept the date! I just remember coming online and finding my name in the forums was pink. - Jessi

Just over one day. Yes, I plan to be here longer than that! - Sophie

I joined this summer. I think it's important to have new council members so the guild has new and fresh ideas, but I also think it's good to keep old people around like Nate so we don't fall apart. - Swoopes

Can you send a farewell for your foster pet when you've decided upon an owner for him or her, but not done the transfer? If not, it might be useful, as some people don't bother to check the pet's look-up to see if they are still up for adoption or not. Thanks. - dark_nova

Sure, you can send a farewell anytime you want. The only reason for waiting is just in case the new parent changes their mind or something. That way you wouldn't have to put the foster in the orphanage all over again. - Nate

Yeah, updating that in the FAQ needs to go on our to-do list. ;^^ Thanks for pointing it out! - Sophie
