In case you missed the festivities, you can watch the livestream above – but since it’s pretty long, I’ll be here hosting a recap of the winners. (A recap of the party itself will come later!) We have 18 awards to be given out this evening. Who won? Who reigned? Let’s find out!

  • Best Poptropica Character

Poptropica is known for having an array of quirky characters, each with different backstories and roles to play on an island. From the costume to its execution, who reigned supreme? Here are your nominees for Best Poptropica Character!

Okay, we now have the envelope for Best Poptropica Character! *opens the envelope* Garnering 22.8% of the votes, this year’s winner is… Ringmaster Raven!

Congratulations Ringmaster Raven! You deserve the award. Your performance on Monster Carnival was spot-on, and so was your tragic backstory! Here comes Director D now to present you your award, and on the screens you can see a graph of the votes for this category:

  • Best POP-ular Island

As defined from the homepage, various islands have become quite popular with Poptropicans. Whether its mysterious story, funny characters, and aesthetic designs took you away, which of the nominees below “popped” out and caught the hearts of Poptropicans?

  • Poptropolis Games
  • Mystery Train
  • Shrink Ray
  • Cryptids
  • Mythology
  • Astro-Knights

*A guy in a shark suit hands the envelope* This is it, everyone! We will now open the envelope and the winner, who gathered 32.1% of the votes, is… Astro-Knights!

The Royal Family of Arturus, come up here! Congratulations to Astro-Knights! This medieval-sci-fi fusion was really amazing! It’s time to blast off these little Poppies to Pewter Moon! Shark-suited guy, please hand out the trophies. How much did Astro-Knights win? Here are the results!

  • Best New Island

Over the past 4 years, Poptropica has made 17 recent islands along with significant updates and additions. With fresh plots, awesome animations and bonus quests, here are the nominees!

  • Mocktropica
  • Monster Carnival
  • Survival
  • PoptropiCon
  • Arabian Nights
  • Escape from Pelican Rock

Here we have the famous director from Mission Atlantis, Cam Jameson, to hand us the envelope containing the results. Now, the island that has accumulated whopping 24.6% of the votes, is no other than… Monster Carnival!

Poptropica’s greatest mystery has finally unveiled itself in 2014 and though it’s been two years since the carnival came to town, no one has forgotten what happened that day… oh yes, all that yummy fried dough! Ringmaster Raven is here to receive the second award; thanks to Cam Jameson! Here are the results below:

  • Best Classic Island

Turn back the clocks and we’re going back to the future the past! Pre-2015 was a fine time for Poptropica, with tons of popular and amazing islands. These islands contributed to its popularity today and those classic concepts of Old Poptropica remain in us all to this day. Which of our nominees rose above the rest?

  • Counterfeit
  • Reality TV
  • Steamworks
  • Red Dragon
  • Ghost Story
  • Twisted Thicket

Holmes will be printing the results shortly, please wait… and, done! Okay, now for the results. Our winner has gathered an amazing 24.6% of the votes! The best Classic Island goes to…*drumroll* Reality TV!

Well, what do you know? A dream turned into a reality! Congratulations to Reality TV Island! To receive the award from Holmes and Professor Watson, here comes Bucky Lucas with his awesome fancy tux! Amazing!

Here are the standings for the other nominees:

  • Best Sponsored Island

These islands may not have a Poptropica original story, but even still, some prove to amaze us. A few months back, Poptropica held the March Madness event, wherein Red Dragon was (re)opened to all players. The same contenders go head-to-head to win the Best Sponsored Island award. Will Red Dragon claim it again this time?

  • Nabooti
  • Great Pumpkin
  • Wimpy Wonderland
  • Red Dragon
  • Wimpy Boardwalk
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

To present the envelope, containing the results of this award, we’ve invited Cosmoe from Galactic Hot Dogs! *hands the envelope* Wow, this is mindblowing. This was a no-brainer award because the winner is… Red Dragon!

I knew it was coming, but of course, Red Dragon deserves it! Were the sumo wrestlers around? Because it was a grand slam! To receive this special award, Jack and Annie are here walking up to the stage as Cosmoe hands them the award! Woohoo!

  • Okay-est Island

Not all islands have left a great impact on players and the community, and unfortunately, there were some that flopped or simply didn’t become quite as popular. These islands are not that bad, yet not too good – just okay. Last year, Galactic Hot Dogs Island won Worst Island, but will it return for a back-to-back Razzie er, Poppie this year? Here are the nominees!

  • Great Pumpkin
  • Shrink Ray
  • Mission Atlantis
  • Galactic Hot Dogs
  • Timmy Failure
  • Monkey Wrench

Here we have Mongo the Monkey delivering the envelope on a little Poptropica blimp! How cute! Which island wins in mediocrity? Let’s see! This year’s “Okay-est Island” award goes to… Mission Atlantis!

Mission Atlantis fits the title quite well. As we wrote in our island review back in the day, it wasn’t terrible, just meh. Here we have Cam Jameson to receive the award from Mongo, along with the help of Crusoe!

  • Best & Funniest Poptropican Name

Poptropica names are randomly generated and sometimes that can result in funny, crazy and even amazing combinations. Poptropicans all around the world have scoured all over for the best and the funniest Poptropican names they could get! Here are our nominees!

Best Poptropican Name:

  • Bronze Fox
  • Fearless Warrior
  • Fierce Dragon
  • Golden Sword
  • Icy Ice
  • Shiny Diamond

Funniest Poptropican Name:

  • Angry Bird
  • Big Belly
  • Big Kid
  • Cuddly Cactus
  • Icy Ice
  • Red Dragon

 

 

 

 

 

To present both of our awards, we have Golden Dragon, our “best name” winner from last year! With no further ado, this year’s best name is… Golden Sword!

And now we have Big Belly, last year’s “worst name” winner, here to present the next award. The funniest Poptropican name of 2016 is… Cuddly Cactus!

I must admit, these are awesome and funny names, and definitely beats Slippery Raptor. Where would you see a raptor sliding down a slippery road? (But hey, if you’d like to create that image, I’d be happy to see it!)

Anyways, congratulations to those players out there whose Poptropicans are named after two amazing combinations of Poptropican names!

  • Weirdest Poptropica Moment

Sometimes, our adventures on Poptropica can get a little weird — with reactions ranging from making the player laugh, be scared, or cringe. Nominations came in, and as we filtered through them, we couldn’t help but have mixed reactions. Which of these eccentric moments made it to the top?

  • Carnies on Monster Carnival turning into monsters
  • Crossing a bridge of Narfs on Mocktropica
  • Entering Patient Zero’s (Joe Stockman’s) mouth on Virus Hunter
  • Katya and Christopher’s kiss in Vampire’s Curse
  • Mocktropica’s end cutscene
  • Timmy Failure losing his pants

Very queer indeed. To deliver the envelope for this round, we have Crusoe, fresh from his tropical island. Now, to proclaim this year’s weirdest moment! The award goes to no other than… Katya and Christopher for their on-screen kiss on Poptropica!

The first ever (lip) kiss on Poptropica made a lot of players cringe at seeing two Poptropican mouths make contact with each other. Gross enough that it made its way to the Poppies! We have Katya and Christopher here to receive their crazy award. Hehe. Don’t be too embarrassed, you lovebirds.

  • Best Soundtrack from a New and Remade Island

Poptropica’s composers, Jeff Heim and Kyle Fox, sure have some sick music skills, and we can’t help but honor their work in the Poppies. Last year, Monster Carnival’s Main Theme serenaded its way to the top and we can’t help but ask if it will go for a back-to-back award this year. I sure hope so! Here are the nominees for Best Soundtrack from a New Island and a Remade Island:

Best Soundtrack from a New Island:

  • Mocktropica
  • Monster Carnival
  • Survival
  • PoptropiCon
  • Arabian Nights
  • Escape from Pelican Rock

Best Soundtrack from a Remade Island:

  • 24 Carrot
  • Time Tangled
  • Poptropolis Games
  • Mythology
  • Shrink Ray

 

 

 

 

 

Now to present the award, we have DJ Saturday Nite and Master Mime! We have the results and here are the winners! The Best Soundtrack from a New Island is from… *Master Mime does an impression of scary birds* oh! Monster Carnival! Wow, what a back-to-back win! Ringmaster Raven sure is racking in the awards tonight! It’s his third time up onstage! 🙂

For the Best Soundtrack from a Remade Island, the winner is from… Mythology! Paging Mr. Zeus to go up the stage. Please do not hurl thunderbolts at the audience, sir! Congratulations anyway! 🙂

Community Awards 🌟

Heeeeey guys! Still alive? It’s a pretty long post, right? Just bear with me. I have pandas here! We’re halfway there!

  • Best ASG

Last December, we opened up our Avatar Studio Gift here on the PHB so all people could have awesome rare costumes! We’ve got a grand walk-in (or scroll-down?) closet right here on the PHB, but which ASG stood out from our wardrobe? You chose, you voted, here we go!

  • *cloud*1
  • DemeterASG
  • HeadlessHorsemanASG
  • JoanASG
  • LightningKnightASG
  • WKF_ASG_AN-Princess

We have Puck Kingston (that’s his Orb Legend name), the eyepatch-wearing stud from Home Island to present this prestigious award to this year’s winner… *cloud*1! Congratulations! 🙂

  • Best Active Fan Blog

Poptropica has numerous fan blogs all over WordPress and beyond. Out of all these fan blogs, which one has top quality? Who gives the best when it comes to posts? Which of these blogs will nab the Best Active Fan Blog award?

This year’s nominees are all of great competence! I wonder who will win? Delivering the envelope is Slanted Fish, head of the PHB! Garnering 36.1% of the votes is… Tall Cactus’ Poptropica Blog! Congratulations, TC!

Tall Cactus has been an avid PHB commenter and liker as well! Throughout this year, she has maintained posting frequently with interesting posts on her blog. Keep it up, TC! Stay awesome! 🙂

  • Best Fan Art of 2016

The Poptropica community has a whole squad of great artists! Most of their works are posted all over the Internet, from Tumblr to DeviantArt! With MasterPinpey winning last year’s Poppies, whose creative hands will reign this year? Let’s check out the nominees of this year’s best artworks so far!

  • “Battle Against the Monster” by CraftyPoptropican
  • “Betty! Betty! Betty!” by criaha
  • “Explore, Collect , Compete” by MissEligon
  • “Short Heart: Night and Day” by DJ-Rosietta
  • “Queen of Arturus” by Perfect Sky

We have MasterPinpey here with the majestic envelope containing the lucky winner! Time to open it, MP! *opens envelope* This year’s creative hands and Best Fan Art award goes to… MissEligon’s “Explore, Collect, Compete”! Congratulations!

I like how MissEligon incorporated a “universal idea” on her Poptropica piece featuring different characters—from infamous villains to famous personalities! The art style and color combination are well done! Kudos to MissEligon!

  • Best PMFM Round

Well, Poptropica meme faces have been trending since the HPuterpop Fan Art Contest, and soon it hit the road — Poptropican Meme Face Mondays was born! Showcasing selected meme faces every week, the Meme King (Ultimate iPad Expert) works hard to make all those memes, from the intro to the outro, just about every week. U DA MAN! 😛 Here are your dankest nominees:

  • Round 1
  • Lenny Week
  • HPuterpop Edition
  • Awesome Face Week
  • Round 31
  • Holiday Special

To deliver the envelope himself is the Meme King, with a special white envelope with a troll face seal. (Very clever, Paul!) Time to announce the winner! This year’s dankest PMFM Round goes to… Lenny Week!

Lenny Week was really awesome: everyone had the same Lenny meme on their faces, UiPE made an awesome gif, and lots of people enjoyed it. Keep it up, Meme King.

  • Best Former PHB Author

Authors come and go on the PHB, and just in 2016 alone, we’ve had several authors go: Blake, Sam, Giant Hawk (Joshua), and Mighty Gamer — and we’re just halfway through 2016! We’ve had more in the past, including Codien, Smockers, Fuzzy-B, and more. Which of these former bloggers had the best impact on the PHB? These were your nominees:

  • Codien
  • Fuzzy-B
  • Blake
  • Giant Hawk
  • Mighty Gamer

  • DJ-Rosietta
  • Lucky Joker
  • Perfect Sky

Come up to the stage for your trophy! A round of applause for Perfect Sky, everybody!

Contests, Livestreams, PHB Parties, Poppies

Join us for the Poppies 2016 Party and Livestream!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropi-ladies and Poptropi-gents,

You’ve nominated, you’ve voted… and very soon, it will be time to reveal the winners of this year’s Poptropica Community Awards, or as we affectionately call them, the Poppies!

Like last year, we’ll be celebrating with a party on the PHC while announcing the winners via a livestream. Everyone’s invited to attend, and here are the details below!

poppies16 party

As detailed in the invitation above, the party is this coming Tuesday, July 26, the date of the PHB’s anniversary – which had the most votes during the voting round!

It’s going to be the PHB’s 8th birthday, so I guess you could say that makes us the PH8 (because 8 looks like a B, get it? ha, ha). But despite our pH level, I promise it’ll be anything but basic.

The party begins at 7pm EST (that’s 6pm CST / 5pm MST / 4pm PST) on our chat, the PHC, and the livestream will also begin at around that time. If you live in a time zone that’s not listed, use a timezone converter to figure out what time that may be in your area (in some places, it may be Wednesday morning). We hope you can make it, or at least pop in at a later time!

The livestream link will be posted on the PHC during the party, so check there when the time comes if you’d like to watch along! Don’t worry about missing it, the video will still be viewable later. The awards presentation will be hosted by us PHB authors, so be sure to check it out if you have the chance!

At the same time, you can also chat with Poptropicans on our Poptropica Help Chat on Discord, meeting up in Multiverse party rooms and having a good time! We’ve seen a lot of awesome Poppies formal outfits from many you guys, and now’s your chance to dazzle everyone on the big day! Dress up your best in tuxes, ties, dresses – and of course, the 8th birthday balloon (if you have it) to celebrate the PHB’s 8th birthday! It’s going to be a poppin’ time, so see you there!

If you have any questions at all, comment below and we’ll answer them for you!

Poppies 2016: Let the Voting Begin!

Ultimate iPad Expert

Update: Voting is now officially closed! Stay tuned here on the PHB for details on when the party/livestream will be occurring!

Poppies2016-Voting

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here, welcome back to the second annual Poptropican Community Awards, known of course as The Poppies! After 6 days of intense work, our panel of expert nominators (aka you guys) have whittled down the nominations!

You know what that means. It’s time for the voting round! Each of the 18 categories have been narrowed down to the top 6 most nominated results (aside from Best Soundtrack from a Remade Island, since it only has 5 possible choices, and Best Current PHB Author, which has 7 since we’re not counting Fishy this year). Due to recent circumstances, Mighty Gamer has been added to the Former Author category and Koi is now in the running for Current!

And now it’s up to you all to decided who the winners must be! You can now cast your votes, so get a move on and cast your votes on the Voting Survey!

Check out this video about the voting round from Brave Tomato:

This voting round begins now and lasts through this upcoming Friday, July 22. We’ll be throwing a party on the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) and hopefully hosting a livestream to announce the winners like last year. We want you guys to decide when the best time for this is. We were planning original for this to be on the 26th (the PHB’s birthday), but we’ve added a poll to the voting survey to let you guys decide when the best time is.

Be sure to stay tuned on the PHB for further Poppies details on our party and winner announcements. But for now…

Start your voting on our Voting Survey!

And if you vote, be sure to pick up your own special “I Voted” sticker:

Unveiling… The Poppies 2016!

Slanted Fish

Poppies2016-Nominations

*majestically brandishes unicorn horn wand in the air*

Welcome, ladies and gentlepoptropicans, to the second year of the Poptropica Community Awards, affectionately known around here as The Poppies! I’m your host, Slanted Fish, and I’m here to explain this whole shebang. Don’t mind my flowing fishy kimono, it’s all part of the show! As you can see by the site header, the PHB team dresses well for the occasion – and we sure hope you’ll join us!

If you were around for the first Poppies last year, you might remember how this works. The Poppies begins with a round of nominations for potential winners of certain award categories, this begins today and will end next Friday, July 15. This round will be followed by a round of voting once nominations are narrowed down, this will take place between July 16 and July 22. And finally, we’ll be announcing the winners as we celebrate the PHB’s upcoming 8th birthday on July 26th, 2016.

First up is the nomination round. How this works is we’ll announce each award category, followed by a brief description (see below). In order to keep nominations a surprise, we’ll be doing it a bit different this year: you put your nominations in a survey, and the Poppies team will take a look at the most popular nominations, as well as give their own input on deserving options, to create the voting options for the next round. Start filling in the survey now!

You can nominate for as many or as little awards as you like. Plus if you want to, let everyone know in the comments section who or what you feel is worth an award! To strengthen your nomination, you can also include a quick reason why you think they (or it) deserve(s) the award.

Without further ado, the awards up for grabs are:

  1. Best Poptropica Character: Whether it’s a jolly fellow on Main Street wishing you well or the biggest, baddest villain of the island, which NPC (non-player character) would you vote as the ultimate best created character? From character costume to execution, this category may be broad, but it’s your chance to pick your favorites for “Poptropican of the Year”! (Note: Don’t nominate fellow players.)
  2. Best Popular Island: Poptropica defines the most popular islands on their homepage as the following: Wimpy Boardwalk, Poptropolis Games, Mystery Train, Shrink Ray Island, Wimpy Wonderland, Cryptids Island, Skullduggery Island, Mythology Island, Astro-Knights Island, Spy Island, Super Power Island, 24 Carrot Island, Time Tangled Island, and Shark Tooth Island. Nominate your favs!
  3. Best New Island: Poptropica defines the newest islands on their homepage as the 17 most recent islands, which includes the following: Monkey Wrench, Escape From Pelican Rock, Timmy Failure, Mystery of the Map, Galactic Hot Dogs, Arabian Nights, PoptropiCon, Mission Atlantis, Survival, Monster Carnival, Mocktropica, Virus Hunter, Back Lot, Night Watch, Zomberry, Super Villain, and Lunar Colony. Nominate the best from the list!
  4. Best Classic Island: Poptropica defined the rest of the islands as “Classic,” so many among this list are memorable islands. These include: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Twisted Thicket, Vampires Curse, S.O.S., Ghost Story, Game Show, Red Dragon, Wild West, Great Pumpkin, Steamworks, Reality TV, Counterfeit, Big Nate, and Nabooti. Which ones were the greatest?
  5. Best Sponsored Island: Some of Poptropica’s islands are “sponsored”, meaning they are created with another franchise in mind (i.e. not Poptropica originals). These include: Nabooti, Big Nate, Great Pumpkin, Wimpy Wonderland, Red Dragon, Wimpy Boardwalk, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Galactic Hot Dogs, and Timmy Failure. Which one is most worthy of being played?
  6. Best Poptropican Name: What Poptropican name combination sounds the best? For a list of possible Poptropica names, click here. (Last year’s winner was Golden Dragon.)
  7. Best Soundtrack from a New Island: Which of Poptropica composer Jeff Heim’s soundtracks deserve the title of ‘best’ with regards to islands that were released with music? (These SUIs, or sound-updated islands, would be Virus Hunter and any island that came out after it.)
  8. Best Soundtrack from a Remade Island: A few of the Poptropica favorites have been remade from non-SUI to SUI over time, giving each some impressive music that followed your adventures. These are: Time Tangled, 24 Carrot, Mythology, Poptropolis Games, and Shrink Ray. Pick a soundtrack from these islands that you think stands out!

In addition to Poptropica-specific awards, there are also categories for those in the Poptropica community/fandom that you know and love!

  1. Best Current PHB Author (besides Slanted Fish): We’ve got a host of staff members here who regularly deliver news and other improvements to the PHB, but everyone’s different in their own way. The current staff are Brave Tomato, HPuterpop, Mighty Gamer, Spotted Dragon, Slanted Fish, Slippery Raptor, Ultimate iPad Expert, and Ylimegirl – and all of us (except me, as I won last year) are automatically nominated!
  2. Best Former PHB Author: Outside of the current PHB staff, which PHB author of the past do you think served this community the best? You can find a list of all of them, with their names linked to their posts, under the “Past PHB Authors” section of our About page. Shout out the ones who you want to win!
  3. Best ASG: We’ve got a plethora of ASGs (Avatar Studio Glitch-able accounts) over on our Avatar Studio Gift page, a haven for glitchers. Of the hundreds of ASGs available, which deserves the title of ‘best’?
  4. Best Active Fan Blog (outside of the PHN): The Poptropica Help Network includes this blog, the PHC (chat), our Twitter, videos, and wiki, but outside of our network lies a realm of other Poptropica fan sites as well. Nominate your favorites – just to be clear, this is for blogs that aren’t included in the list mentioned in the previous sentence. This category looks for sites that are currently active.
  5. Best Fan Art of 2016: Poptropican artists the world over have created many pieces of fan art, but which pieces have you seen that might deserve the title of ‘best’? The PHB magazines and our DeviantArt group are good places to start scouting for fan art! This category looks for works that were created/published in the year 2016, to give more current Pop artists a chance at the award.
  6. Best PMFM Round: Here on the PHB, Ultimate iPad Expert works hard to deliver yet another round of Poptropican Meme Face Mondays every week. Of the 30+ rounds that have premiered on this blog, which is the best? (Look back on every PMFM here!)
  7. Community Appreciation Award: Outside of the PHB staff past and present, many amazing Poptropicans make up our community, whether they’re frequent commenters, fan artists, PHC regulars, fan bloggers, or just someone well known in the online Poptropica community. Tell us who you appreciate most!

Now for some funny awards!

  1. Okay-est Island: Not the best, not the worst… just okay. Which island in the vast seas of Poptropica makes you go “eh, that was ok, I guess” – neither impressing nor disappointing you, and that you wouldn’t really miss if it were (gasp) taken out of the game?
  2. Funniest Poptropican Name: You have to admit, Poptropica names can get pretty ridiculous sometimes. But which combination of words that form Poptropica names is the silliest of them all? (Last year’s winner for “Worst” Name: Big Belly.)
  3. Weirdest Poptropica Moment: So you’ve seen a lot of things in your adventures on Poptropica. What takes the cake for the strangest of them all? Was it when you crossed a wide chasm on a horde of Narfs in Mocktropica? Or maybe Katya and Christopher’s kiss at the end of Vampire’s Curse? You decide!

Nominations will take place starting now, so sound off in the survey who or what you think deserves the awards! Please limit your nominations to a maximum of three per award.

If no nominations for a certain award are made, the Poppies team will use their own judgment to come up with some options. Next week’s poll options will be based on the most popular nominations, so check back then for the next round and cast your votes then! Plus, stay tuned on the PHB for details on our next birthday party and winner announcements. But for now…

Start nominating on our Nomination Survey!

Keep popping in for the Poppies going on throughout this month!
