What a wimpy winning

Slanted Fish

Well, we were going to show you a new Wimpy Boardwalk update… but it looks like it’s out of order.

All those lovely stuffed toys you see in the background, but the claw picks up this?

Bored this summer because Wimpy Boardwalk isn’t here yet? *rolls in the advertisements*

  • Icy Comet’s Poptropolis Games Guide for the PHB is up!
  • Rules and Ranks have been added to the PHC – just scroll down!
  • Talk to other Poptropica players on our Poptropica Help Chatroom (PHC)! Meet in Multiverses, play games, chat about your favorite things, and have fun!
  • The 100th episode of former PHB author MT’s Party With Hobos was recently added to the PWH site!
  • PoptropicaHelp.net, our Poptropica Help Network (PHN) homepage, was given a few improvements. Take a look, and if you haven’t seen some of our networks listed there yet, be sure to check those out as well.

As you may or may not have noticed, I changed my screen name from Hijuyo to Slanted Fish. My Chinese name can also be translated to mean slanted (wan) fish (yu) by using different tones. I felt that it suited me more and I do like it better. As far as nicknames go, I guess you can use Slant, Fishy (to differentiate from other Poptropican “Fish”s), or stick with Hiyo/Juyo until you’re used to the new name. :3

Poptropolis Games Island, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

What time is it? Summer time!

Slanted Fish

And on Poptropica, that means Wimpy Boardwalk island is in the works! Here’s a clip from the Creators showing a bit of their creative process.

Also, next Thursday, June 14, marks the grand opening of the Poptropolis Games for everyone! This means that there’s only one week left before the members-only bonus “Wrestling Gear” costume is no longer available! Its limited time ends after the early access period.

In other news, PHB author MT recently resigned from the blog for personal reasons. If you would like to say goodbye, click here to go to his farewell post.

We’ll miss you here, Tacoz.

Bonus Items, Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

Last Legendary Tribes!

Slanted Fish

Last but not least, the Creators have revealed two more of the tribes – in addition to the 5 shown this past week – to compete in the Poptropolis Games, making a total of eight victory-inspired tribes!

Please welcome:

Wildfire

Winning a competition as tough as the Poptropolis Games takes more than talent. It takes a burning desire to win. Do you have the fiery passion to join the Wildfire?

It certainly does seem to be “the hottest of them all,” because a quick poll on the PCB sidebar reveals that 45% of all voters have expressed interest in this tribe the most! The Seraphim tribe comes second at only 17%, and all the others have less than 10% of the total votes each.

Are you lost in not knowing which one to pick? Try…

Pathfinders 

 There’s only one route to the gold medal, and this tribe thinks they know which way to go. Maybe you’ll help them get there!

Also, more big news– the Legendary Swords mini quest is now completely FREE! Previously, it was free+, meaning that everyone could play up until a certain point, where you would need membership to continue.

Now nonmembers who have been dying to get in some more kills can rejoice! Get this adventure pack in the Poptropica Store, and if you need further tips after that step, the PHB has a guide written by our very own Brave Tomato! Click here to read it.

So, which of the eight tribes do you like most? Let us know in the comments! I personally like the Flying Squid tribe. 🙂

Counterfeit Island, Uncategorized

Munch on this!

Slanted Fish

The Creators recently mentioned on their blog that the painting “The Scream,” which plays a big role on Counterfeit Island, sold for a record $120 million dollars! Gotta scream with joy at that.

There should be a lame joke about munching somewhere, but the Norwegian name is really pronounced “moonk.” Hehe. 😛

On the subject of interesting art, did you know that this painting shown below, by Russian artist Malevich, sold for a million dollars?

Black Square (1913)

Yup. Really. What do you think?

Happy Poptropolis Games & may the odds be ever in your favor

Slanted Fish

There’s been a lot of hype lately about the next island, the Poptropolis Games! Who’s excited? I know I am! Before we jump into the Games, though, the Creators have announced that Twisted Thicket Island will be available to everyone on Wednesday, May 2nd.

And for those too lazy to check the Daily Pop, PHB commenter legodirectorfilms shared with us a compilation of pics for the upcoming Olympic-themed island:

The PHB’s Discussion Page for the Poptropolis Games is also up! Check it out here.

In other news, for the first time ever, the Creators are showing us fan art they received from a Poptropican called Super Sky!

Looking good there! Which reminds me, the PHB has a guide on How To Draw a Poptropican if you’re interested in trying it out. 🙂

And now…
