Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks

Bird boat?

Slanted Fish

On the Poptropica Facebook page, there’s a special sneak peek for Skullduggery Island, clearly related to the bird boat seen yesterday. The “scrambled” bits of the picture in the last sneak peek are clearly arranged here and obviously belong to this ship.

Looks like this Skullduggery Island ship is almost ready for its christening! Wonder what it’s called…

What do you think? Here were some thoughts from other Poptropican players on our Poptropica Help Forums:

  • “Looks like a weird ceremony for the preparation of a ship.” ~Setew2
  • “Maybe food for the bird so it doesn’t pick your eyeballs out? …just theory.” ~Coderkid
  • “The pirates are birds.” ~Sanzulines
  • “To christen a boat you smash a bottle champaign against the side.” ~MuddyDragon
  • “Maybe it’s some lame trap? o_0” ~Happy Fang

This large vessel seems to be designed to look like a bird, and this scene shows that it is about to receive a name. Yellow ribbons aligned on the dock and a bottle of apple cider hanging from the sky portrays a celebration, but what’s with the seed bag? ._.

You would not believe your eyes
When you make a poor kid fly
As you give him a shiny green balloon

He’ll fly above the square
and look down from in the air
You’d think me rude but I would just stand and… stare

I’d like to make myself believe
That he floated to RTV
It’s hard to say I’d rather stay and wait for him to come down
While I could tell his mother and she’d frown…

~Excerpt from “Balloon Boy” to the tune of “Fireflies” by Owl City

Cool songs (such as the one above, and more!) written by songwriter Hyper Star performed by the Flamin’ Skulls, the awesomest Poptropica rock band around! Many of the band members often hang out at the Poptropica Help Chatroom; and if you see them online – invite them into your Multiverse room for a rocking concert! 😀

Flamin' Skulls harpist Hijuyo rocks out hard with a flamin' skull top!

Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks

Junk boat: a Skullduggery sneak peek!

Slanted Fish

Poptropica Creator Hades posted a sneak peek with “SkullduggeryIsland” in its name, so that could be an island coming soon to Poptropica for all we know. The word “skullduggery” refers to dishonorable acts, which means we may be dealing with dishonesty on Poptropica… not digging skulls. 😛

Blog Post Title: Shiver me timbers!
Description: Ahoy! We’ve been sailin’ the high seas for more Poptropica adventures! Arr…what be this new port?

You know what that sneak peek REALLY looks like?

…

A classic junk boat from my home city Hong Kong. 🙂

Lastly, happy birthday to PHB author XBrokenRoseX! 😀 Well, that’s all for now.

Mythology Island, PHB Sneak Peeks

This Time it’s Revolution!

Slanted Fish

Ahoy! What “arr” the Poptropica Creators up to this time? Posted on the official Poptropica Facebook page under the picture album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, is a cool sneak peek of some Poptropican characters you may encounter in the future!

Fear God, not man. 🙂

In the top-left corner of this picture, we see an old sailor with a green cap puffing on his cigar after a hard day’s work. Next to him is a simple-looking pirate cabin boy with a brown bandana wrapped around his head. And on the top-right, fearfully, are two pirate captains with golden peg legs!

The lower row of this sneak peek is occupied by four British (Redcoats; right)/American (Patriots; left) soldiers who look like they’ve stepped out of the Revolutionary War. Armed with guns with bayonets at the tip; you don’t want to get on their bad side! But freedom comes at a high cost, sometimes even requiring bloodshed… are you up for the battle?

Join the Order of the Astro Knights! <<<And have the power to defend for your rights!

Order of the Astro Knights

Slanted Fish

Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!

Calling all wild souls to join the Order of the Astro Knights! Among the back of our clan are our most mysterious members, commonly referred to as the Dark Knights. These tough purple girls and shadowy black boys have looks that can kill, especially those who are weak at heart.

On the sidelines, we have pretty Heart Knights dressed for battle. With the hearts they always leave trailing behind, no one can resist admiring them even just a little. And up front we’ve got the bravest of the adventures: the Earth Knights, equipped with the strongest bronze and greenest leaves.

JOIN NOW! You can purchase your very own set of armor at the Poptropica Store for 75 credits, or if you’re a member, get it free. Then march over to Astro-Knights and fight with the rest of the legion to defend Poptropica!

In fact, several of our knights have caught up with a fellow known throughout the lands as Master Mime, who told us:

Word on the street is that goth girls do brush their teeth. True. Goth girls are very cool, pretty and typically have minty breath. I just happened to meet one on Astro – Knights Island that must have just eaten some garlic bread.

So if you find a goth kid roaming the streets of Arturus, don’t be afraid to say hello. They’re not as scary as you may think! 😉
