Daily Pops of Pure Imagination and Out-of-this-World Members Gold Cards

July 31, 2012August 23, 2012 Brave Tomato

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination

Take a look, and you’ll see into your imagination.

We’ll begin, with a spin, travelling in the world of my creation

What you’ll see will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Wanta change the world? There’s nothing to it.

Hey guys, BT here. Now you MIGHT be wondering…

“Why the heck did she include a song from a 1970’s movie in this post?”

Well, that 1970’s movie just turns out to be Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In 2005, a remake directed by Tim Burton was seen by many. And maybe in 2012, Poptropica decided to revamp the story to make it an interactive experience?

Squirrely: We don’t imagine there’s a moose anywhere around here.

Oh, Fudge: Who is this great big greedy nincompoop?

There could be more Daily Pops relating to this, but those were the ones that stood out to me as Wonka-related. And the most obvious ones, at that. I wonder if this island’s quest would have to do with rescuing the 4 kids that ended up in tight situations (I’m talking about Augustus, Violet, Veruca, and Mike). Besides, I don’t remember the part in either movie where Augustus is seen on a conveyor belt covered in strawberry-flavored chocolate coated fudge, because it wasn’t in the movie.

I could be right. I could be wrong. It’s a prediction, and we’ll have to see. In the meantime, we wait for Lunar Colony’s release for members and demo for non-members. And the members get to have those special gold cards.

The Alien Archaeology card leaves a pretty tall pillar scripted with a peculiar alien language. And by alien, I mean outer space alien. The moon rocks card creates random moon rocks scattering across your screen. And the costume is-well-a costume.

The release of these island-specific gold cards give us the hint that Lunar Colony will be available soon, but not exactly when. We’ll find out soon, won’t we?

BT out!

Red Dragon Island

Never Say No to a Panda

July 10, 2012July 10, 2012 Brave Tomato

Otherwise, the panda’ll destroy stuff. Or at least that’s what I know from Egyptian commercials. As a girl on the east coast of the US, don’t judge me for not knowing anything about pandas besides what I see in the media.

Is there ever a bad time for pandas?

A little over a year ago, we released an Island in cooperation with our friends at Magic Tree House. It’s called Red Dragon Island, and if you haven’t played it, you’re missing out on a thrilling adventure through old Japan with Jack and Annie, the heroes of the Magic Tree House series.(Oh, and you also get to master a bunch of awesome ninja skills like climbing up walls and using a grappling hook.)

Whether you’ve been through Red Dragon Island before or not, now’s a great time to head back. Not just because it’s a great adventure, but because the Magic Tree House store has been updated with the latest, greatest books from the series. Head on over to Poptropica and visit Red Dragon Island to get the scoop on A Perfect Time for Pandas, and its accompanying Fact Tracker, Pandas and Other Endangered Species.

And then find the ninja master and get to work!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Bossy, aren’t you, Captain Crawfish, there? Well, how about you take this Panda cheese and it’ll make you understand.

😐 I’d take it if I were you. Now. Please. D:

Anyways, um… yeah… books… and stuff… I swear that panda is freaking me out… o.o *grabs three cartons of Panda cheese* I gotta go, BT out!

*runs away, screaming “DON’T DESTROY ANYTHING!!”*

Crud, too late. o,o

Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

The supremacy is etched into…

June 26, 2012December 1, 2012 Brave Tomato

Brave Tomato: The tribes have been going at it in the Poptropolis Games for weeks, now. *dramatic music* Many Poptropicans were able to gain the medallions, but some by luck, won just by one place higher than another tribe. But apparently, a certain red robot tribe gained that supremecy overall…

Audience Member: Oh cut it out with all the dramatic stuff, BT!

Brave Tomato: What? Come on!

Audience Member: *chants* Humor! Humor! Humor!

Brave Tomato: Alright, alright, sheesh! I’ll just show the Creator’s post!

Which tribe reigns supreme?

Now that Poptropolis Games has been available for a few weeks, millions of Poptropicans have chosen their tribes and competed for glory. But do you want to know which tribe’s representatives have the best overall scores?

Go on, take a guess. We’ll wait for you.
Okay. The top-performing tribe in Poptropica is….
…………………

The Nanobots! Congratulations to everyone who’s flying the flag of the red robots!
If you’re not a Nanobot, don’t worry. You can always help your tribe reach the mountaintop by playing, and winning, Poptropolis Games! Visit Poptropica now to play!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Brave Tomato: Where’s the drumroll during all this? The Creators were dramatic there, cause of all those “…”s to reveal the Nanobots as the highest scoring tribe! But wait! Did nanobots rig the system…

Audience Member: Don’t discriminate! I’m a Nanobot tribe member and we won fair and square!

Brave Tomato: Alright, if you say so. 😐 I’m a Black Flags member, and I just hope that I’m not the lowest on that list.

Audience: So do we!

Brave Tomato: Glad to see we’re on the same page with this!

*the audience member who said that BT discriminated throws a tomato with the Nanobot logo on it*

Brave Tomato: Okay, maybe not all of us, but just hope, okay? Alright.

BT out!

Poptropolis Games Island, Wallpapers, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

A Friendly Reminder and a Wimpy Wallpaper

June 8, 2012May 17, 2013 Brave Tomato

Stumped on the pole vault?

*character runs towards the pole vault*

Random Person: I can do this!

*in the launch area, the RP held on to the mouse too long and just flipped over the pole*

Random Person: Okay, maybe I can’t do this.

Epically failing at the weight-lifting?

*a random person plays the game, but has one of those touch-screen laptop mouses*

Random Person 2: X, X, X, X… curse this mouse!

Well, before we break those monitors, the Creators give us this friendly reminder about the fact that we don’t have to place first in every single event. As long as you’re good at the others. 😐

Going for the gold

The good thing about the Poptropolis Games is that you don’t need to place first in every event in order to win the gold medallion. The winner of the Games is the one with the best overall performance, which means you can have a few clunkers and still come out on top.

It’s a good thing, too! Some of these events are tough. I laid an egg on the pole vault the last time I played.

Some of you may have already won the gold medallion, but has anybody out there placed first in every single event? That’s a feat we’d love to see!

Remember, Poptropolis Games is open to Members now. It will be available for everyone to play on June 14.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Thanks to you, CC, you’ve saved so many monitors. I mean- the first time I did the island, I got second place, and it was kinda annoying. Moving right along, in celebration of Wimpy ~~Wonderland~~ Boardwalk, the Creators released the desktop wallpaper and the printable poster for the new summer Wimpy Kid island!

Wimpy Boardwalk extras now available!

We’re making a splash to start the summer. Now, when you visit the Wimpy Boardwalk info page, you can download a new desktop wallpaper and printable poster!

Wimpy Boardwalk is coming soon to Poptropica. Keep reading our blog for the latest news!

SHARK BOY

In case you’re wondering, this is what the poster looks like:

Greg looks so different with color. But different’s good. Unless you’re being pelted by rocks instead of the usual tomatoes. In that case, stick with what you know.

Five Divine Tribes and the Free Curse

May 17, 2012December 1, 2012 Brave Tomato

Wow… it looks like the Creators are pretty eager to share with us the tribes. Here are the 5 we know about so far, the dates they were revealed, and what Captain Crawfish said about em:

Flying Squid- Monday- “This tribe hopes to have more than an inkling of victory in the Poptropolis Games.”

Seraphim- Tuesday- “This tribe will rise and fall on the wings of their dreams. Maybe you can help them achieve such great heights!”

Black Flags- Tuesday – “This tribe intends to plant the flag of victory in the heart of Poptropolis — and we suspect they’ll stop at nothing to do it!”

Nightcrawlers- Wednesday- The Nightcrawlers might look like pushovers, but they’re used to being used as bait. Watch out they don’t hook you!

Nan0bots- Wednesday- “Proving that good things come in small packages, the Nanobots are programmed for victory. Will you help them execute the gold-medal download?”

As you have noticed on the Creators blog, the Creators made THREE posts today. Wow, they’re eager to show us the tribes. Two of today’s posts were about the Nightcrawlers and the Nanobots and one of them tells about an update on the Poptropica app!
