We will have more information about the first challenge once the GMC begins!





What is AAA's involvement in this year's GMC?

AAA has decided that he can't be bothered with playing the games in this year's GMC , so he is going to oversee the competition instead. Having proved himself by virtue of winning last year's challenge, he is now going to sit back and watch others duke it out. AAA has enlisted the help of two well-known Neopians to serve as the team captains in this year's Games Master Challenge, Captain Threelegs and The Techo Master. Both have come to Roo Island to lead their respective teams in a week-long competition and see whose squad has the better gamers.

kaljinyu , November 19, 2012 11:59 AM NST More like the News page! And notice ye now the Battledome connotations of this year's GMC, the battle renaissance extends even through this. The two training school guys will be managing it this time!

kaljinyu , November 19, 2012 12:00 PM NST And yes, it was hard for me to figure out, this was a big milestone for a man of such small brain as I.

ummy - JN Staff , November 19, 2012 12:01 PM NST

The spoilers were out quite a while before, if you knew where to look. And yes, it was hard for me to figure out, this was a big milestone for a man of such small brain as I.---The spoilers were out quite a while before, if you knew where to look.

kaljinyu , November 19, 2012 12:03 PM NST I'm a good boy and don't read spoilers.

nynex - JN Staff , November 19, 2012 12:03 PM NST yeah, the theme was pretty obvious for awhile if you had been looking xD

ladybug , November 19, 2012 12:04 PM NST wow! no AAA, pirates and ninjas sounds more exciting, i hope the prizes are themed that way!

bountyhunter , November 19, 2012 12:07 PM NST AWESOME loving this idea already cant wait

Pirates here I come hehe

dacio , November 19, 2012 12:11 PM NST Can I ask where did TNT hint us this pirate-ninja themed GMC? :3

crossed_star , November 19, 2012 12:28 PM NST I like puzzle/logic games but I like pirates more.



This is a tough choice.

herdy - JN Staff , November 19, 2012 12:33 PM NST Lulu is just openly a thief now. Not content with stealing from family, she's now picking on strangers as well.

Hanso, Kanrik, move aside. You've been replaced by a teenager who likes sparkly dresses.

hyperknuckles77_tail , November 19, 2012 12:34 PM NST

I'm the opposite. I'm for ninjas, but I prefer action/adventure games than puzzles (or at least I think action games will be easier). XD This is gonna be hard! @crossed_star:I'm the opposite.I'm for ninjas, but I prefer action/adventure games than puzzles (or at least I think action games will be easier). XD This is gonna be hard!

hyperknuckles77_tail , November 19, 2012 12:35 PM NST But I also like Eyries, so I might end up being on Captain Threelegs' team anyway.

pikachu315111 , November 19, 2012 12:46 PM NST This sounds like it's going to be fun (even if it is sort of a rehash of last year (Pirates = Brawn, Ninjas = Brain). Hmm, I think I might go for Pirates as I'm better in action/adventure games.

goldennightfox , November 19, 2012 1:10 PM NST Well, I'm excited!



But which to choose? I'm better at puzzles, but pirates are better than ninjas. ;P

lophostrix , November 19, 2012 1:13 PM NST TEAM PIRATE

labpartnerincrime , November 19, 2012 1:14 PM NST Team Ninja all the way!!!!!

jesse101_9_9 , November 19, 2012 1:17 PM NST I like ninja's more but I dont like logic games :/

moonlight_phoenix , November 19, 2012 1:27 PM NST I didn't fight those pirates in Maraqua years ago for nothing . I'm joining the ninjas.

john3637881 , November 19, 2012 2:10 PM NST Okay, this is a decent enough change of pace for me to play. The less AAA, the better. Go Team Ninja!

john3637881 , November 19, 2012 2:57 PM NST On top of that, they ruined Threelegs with the Swashbuckling Academy Update. What's the point of a pegARM? He looks more like a scarecrow. On top of that, I like the Techo Master, so those are some good reasons to join the Ninjas!

shandeng , November 19, 2012 3:01 PM NST The news is out :O

cat , November 19, 2012 3:13 PM NST So it's sea-going thieves vs. ornery peasants

pookie , November 19, 2012 5:43 PM NST Can I buy both keys and use both keys on the same account?

logicalwhimsy , November 20, 2012 8:35 AM NST Oh man. D: I am better at what would be considered "Ninja"-y games... but... I want to be a Pirate. D: I had the same problem last year. Sigh.

zixianna , November 20, 2012 10:09 AM NST Seeing as the first thing on my Hobbies list in my UL has always been Ninjas?

Ninja Ninja Ninja

criscap85 , November 26, 2012 1:08 PM NST This year Game Challengs can be made very hardly!!!!
