In this contest we’ll be giving away:

  • 10 Poptropica Accounts with:
    1100 Credits,
    a custom name,
    all advertisement cards (from new and old ads)!

But how do you cash in on this crazy contest? Simple. Just fill out this form, along with your answer to the question: “What’s the BIGGEST thing Poptropica could do to improve?” I’ll leave you to  think on it!

If you’re looking for something that will increase your chances of winning, here’s some things that will help, sometimes DRASTICALLY.

  • Having a PHF account (include your username in the form)
  • Joining Lockerz. (links to a PHF thread)

So the things you’d need to include in your comments are:

  • Your email,
  • Your answer (to the question above),
  • The custom name you’d like your account to have,
  • and Optionally:
    Your PHF account username,
    The email you used to join Lockerz.

And as in every contest, here are the rules:

  • No cheating,
  • Use good grammar (xD),
  • and no double accounts/comments.

That’s it! Enjoy the contest! The contest ends Jan. 10, 2010! So hurry! Don’t miss out! And remember, be fair! Special thanks to Mr. French Dude (above) for sponsoring our contest! 🙂

EDIT:
I should clear some things up. I’m giving away 10 Poptropica accounts, meaning one account per winner. Also meaning 10 people will win. Just to clarify. 😉

Candy Canes and Proof that Counterfeit Island is coming soon!

Sparkle Star/Green Seal
Hello, fellow poptropicans! =D Some of you might have noticed that there’s 2 new delicious looking store items (Thanks, Bobitator!) and 2 new Creators’ posts!  There’s also now a page about Counterfeit Island telling what the plot of the island is.  =D

In the Poptropica Store, there’s two new items:

  • FREE candy canes.  YESH, THEY IZ FREE!!! =O
  • A new Candy Cane Outfit for 75 credits!

Shark Boy made a new post about the new items:

Get your CANE on!

To make the Poptropica holiday season a little more festive, we are giving out FREE candy canes in our store! You can also impress (or scare) your friends with the Crazy Candy Cane Costume. Happy Holidays!

If you press the spacebar while holding the candy cane, you can throw it up in the air! 😀 THANK YOU, CREATORS!

Celebrate Christmas this year on the summit of chilly Mount Everest!

Anyway, there’s another post on the Creators’ Blog, by Master Mime!  (Thanks, Johnny!) It shows some sketches of the Counterfeit Island Gate Keeper.  0_o He scares me…

Doesn’t he scare you too?  0.o The title of the post was “Counterfeit Island Gate Keeper”, and the description was:

Here is some concept art for Counterfeit Island. Watch out for the Gatekeeper! You will only like him when he’s…crazy.

I think he’s crazy enough. 😛 xD If you look at the homepage, there’s a link to a page about Counterfeit Island’s plot!  (Thanks, TyrianCF!)

When you click on it, you will be lead to this page:

So, the description talks about the plot, saying that you will have to explore the “dark and dangerous side of Counterfeit Island” and save the famous artwork from the person who’s out to steal it.  This probably includes that Thomas Jefferson painting, and the Scream.

Yup, this is pretty much it. 🙂  Be sure to check out the new Poptropican’s 911 below!

Always wanted a beard?

Codien 
Sponsored by the PHB

Styling of hair has been a big thing in Poptropica for the past years. But as of yet the creation of a beard has not been a hit. Whether it’s that pre-pubescent children just cant manage to sprout a few hairs on their chin, or 8 – 15 year olds can’t even get the option to customize those golden bearded curls.

This will all change due to the new product by Codien called ‘Spray on Beard’. A beard in a can, how remarkable, just point cans nozzle towards ones desired area and press down firmly. Instant beard.
A quality product tested by profound scientists, they all agree  it’s safe to use.

Here’s what a random tester thought, “The perfect thing i need for my Poptropican. It’s Great”.

Codien is giving you the chance to get a beard just in time for Christmas. Only 30 45 will get one so head over to his blog now to enter. Hurry, the competition ends on Friday, December 11th!

Good Luck!

POST UPDATE: The Multiverse Project is back online!

Check it out, and don’t forget to tell me what you think! =D

WAS UP HOMIEZ?!! i iz har today *screen fizzles and rotates*

Woah…what just happened? OH NO! IT WAS MY ARCH NEMESIS, ANTI-MOTION! He must have escaped from his alternate dimension and tried to hijack my post! Well, he’s gone now, so on to THE POST! CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* I SAID, CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* Don’t make me come down – *music plays loudly* That’s what I thought. As I was saying, on to THE PO – *music plays* HEY! I didn’t say to cue – *more music plays* NOT funny guys.

Please excuse my special effects team, they must think it’s April Fools Day. One sec while I go knock some sense into them.

*goes off stage, screaming and load noises are heard, comes back*

Now that that’s been sorted out, we can finally move on! On to THE POST!

There’s two new Ads in Pop! (Credit to Happy Storm and Xarr of the PHF!)

  • The Electric Company Ad, about a new TV show coming to PBS Kids. (NO, I DON’T WATCH PBS!!)
  • The Monster INC. Ad, about the old movie coming to DVD and BlueRay (HI-DEF).

In The Electric Company Ad, there’s no mission or “problem” to solve, but simply a synopsis of the show, a trailer, and two actors from the show. The only thing to get out of this Ad is the costumes from the actors.

The other Ad, about the new version of Monster INC. DVD, actually does have a goal. You have to find the kid (or shall I say PopKid?) that’s escaped into the Monster Realm. Using the key cards you find (which allow you to access different rooms in the ad) you have to search for the girl. The reward is…”lack luster”. What you receive is a card that takes you to a “theater room” where you can watch the trailer for Monster INC.

Here’s some screenshots for both ads:

The Electric Company Ad

I was asked to promote these 2 awesome blogs, by Adammos (Popular Thunder) and IkeWB!

Be sure to check their awesome blogs out!

Lastly, I’d like to say that The Multiverse Project will be back up soon, it’s getting a few…renovations.

Peacing out,
this has been a message from mo-*fizzle, static* ANTI-MOTION! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

At $14.95 US dollars each, they may seem a little expensive, but it may be well worth it to show off your love for Poptropica!
