I want to hear about the "staff auction". How did THAT work?
LOL, Well, these forums are actually affiliated with Neopets, so the members get to bid on the Staff Members with their "NeoPoints." I personally don't really USE Neopets anymore, and I have a few million NeoPoints (NP), so I figured I'd spend them on our little forum carnival (it was actually for our third year anniversary). So, therefore, I won this guy by spending 902,000 NP (this one guy wouldn't give up).
I always spend the most NP on people every year. At our first carnival I spent 150,000, last year I spent 1,901,000 NP, and this year...
Well, anyways, yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. Most of the people up for auction would say...graphics, for example, would be another's prize.
Some examples:
