The Haunted Wood Plot is still down and I have wasted 50,000np on that Brucey Slot. So to prevent myself from throwing more NP into Brucey or Pawkeet, (folks, gamblilng is a serious addiction, don't start! LOL) I decided to check up on some of the species in Neopia. Let's start off with my Bruce.



Pronunciation: Bruce - brooce - Bruces - brooce-ezz

Bruce love cold weather just like me. My room temperature is kept constantly at 18 degree C. (evil grin). Bruces love showing off their remarkable sense of balance by skating, dancing and generally being good at sports. Originally from the snowy land of Terror Mountain, Bruces can be found all over Neopia, even in the Lost Desert.

I didn't know this but Bruce is pretty crafty in the Battledome... well, as long as they have their trusty Fish Slingshot and Shield of Resistance. Their fighting technique is pretty much unstoppable with their tailor-made weapons, though they should hit the Training Academy more often. It doesn't hurt to be the best!

When Bruce are not strutting their stuff, they love a good snowball fight. You can't beat 20 odd NeoPets all pelting each other with snowballs and getting soaking wet. It is terrific fun!

Famous Bruce:

Benny

Benny, the Blade, is a pirate Bruce who assisted Captain Scarblade in the Curse of Maraqua plot. He was also a challenger in the ensuing war between the pirates and Maraqua.

Boochi

No one is quite certain how to categorise Boochi. Some see a visit from Boochi, which transforms them into an adorable baby, as a wonderful gift. Others, however, cringe at the thought and get jumpy with the mere mention of this Bruce.

Most agree, though, that whether good or evil, he is certainly mischievous. You never know when you will encounter Boochi. He may jump out of a bush and fire his ray gun at you on the way to the market tomorrow, or perhaps he'll never cross your path at all. I really do not want a visit from this baby.

Brucey B

A Bruce who has a habit of playing Cheat!, Brucey B is a Bingo caller by nature, but in his nights off he likes to play the odd game of Cheat. Still learning, but by no means a beginner, Brucey will catch you out with the old triple-bluff maneuver. He also tends to hide his cards under the table, so you will not know he has won until the last minute!

Once he helped save the Lost Desert from Dr. Frank Sloth and his army of Grundos in a plot titled Brucey B and the Lucky Coin.

You can read all about it from Brucey B and the Lucky Coin and Brucey B's War Tent

Denethrir

Denethrir the Scholar is an absentminded wizard who is investigating the tower above the Jungle Ruins. He knows the secrets of the Gaia Wands, should you bring him the right items. He can be found in Jungle Ruins - Tower 1, Neoquest I.

Kakoni Worrill

Kakoni Worrill is one of the players for 2006's Altador Cup, a Centre Forward for Faerieland. He possessed the uncanny ability to spot an open teammate and hit them with a perfect pass, to make up for his lack of scoring ability.

Ramtor


Ramtor is a Bruce wizard who usurps Meridell King Skarl from his throne in NeoQuest II.

Ramtor put the guards of Meridell castle under his spell and forced King Skarl of the throne and into the dungeon of his tower. He was eventually forced to retreat from Meridell when Rohane was close to defeating him, because he wasn't taking him seriously. Back in his tower, Ramtor fought against Rohane again with two Demonic grarrls, but was defeated.

The top boss for the Meridell portion of the game. Ramtor has 200 hp and flees the first time you fight him, when his health is down 50%.

Tormo "The Terror" Frein

Tormo "The Terror" Frein is also a players for 2006's Altador Cup, but he is a Right Defender for Darigan Citadel. When this relentless defender gets an assignment to cover someone, he stays on them from the time they leave the locker room until the final whistle blows. Over the years, many a flashy forward has seen their consecutive games scoring streak halted by the nonstop aggression of this pesky defenseman.

Games that feature a Bruce:

Brucey B Slots

To play you need to wager your Neopoints on anywhere from one to seven lines (click the various line buttons to see the ways in which you can win). You can bet anywhere between 1 and 50 NP per line.

To win, simply get 3 or more matching symbols in a row (starting from the left reel)! In fact, the Jack, Queen, King, Ace and Lucky Coin are worth more so you only have to get 2 of those. The Geb (the little pyramid guy) is a wildcard, and will match any other symbol, and to win the Jackpot (which goes up every spin) you need to get 5 Lucky Coins. Good Luck!

Cheat!
Are you tired of those goody two shoes games where honesty and fair play are the aim of the game? Don't you just once wish you could cheat and get away with it? Well, now you can. Use all of your skill and cunning to beat your opponents in a breath taking game of Cheat! If you beat the 3rd, 5th or 7th rounds, you also earn a trophy!

It only costs 50 NP per play. So what are you waiting for? Get Cheating!

This is the easier game to get a trophy.

Brucey B here is not very good with this game.



How to play:

Rink Runner
The Annual Happy Valley Skating competition (Year 8) is not far away, so it's time for you to practice some of your best moves!

Be sure to avoid the sharps (#) and flats (b) .

Over time the ice will crack, and reveal water beneath the rink. If you land in it, you'll sink and be disqualified!
