Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!
It’s a bird? It’s a plane?ย No, it’s me! Invisible Ring, creator of the REAL-LIFE Mighty Action Force card game, has RETURNED!
That’s right, readers! This Poptropican was but a fellow Mighty Action Force fan, who emerged from PoptropiCon Island and forged her OWN Mighty Action Force card game that she could play in real life, anytime and anywhere she wantedโฆ then shared it with the PHB online, so that EVERYONE can print out and play their own Mighty Action Force game, too. (There’s also an Astro-Knights edition!)
But she had not yet shared ALL of her Mighty Action Force games, which brings us to the here and now. If you’re already acquainted with these games, then you may be looking for a bigger challenge. Heck, you may even be itching to play this game with more than one player at a time.ย And that is where the 4-PLAYER Mighty Action Force game comes in! Download below:
Packed with new cards, new rules, and new game variations, this third and final edition of my real-live MAF series not only provides a new mighty challenge but brings all other Mighty Action Force games together โ perfect for parties and family fun!
Some assembly required. This offer is invalid where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, batteries not included.
Check out the demo of the multiplayer game in action:

THE BLACK HARE A Poptropica Fanfiction Story
Hello fellow Poptropican, my name is the Black Hare. But most people call me Harrie. You probably know my parents, Dr. Hare and the Black Widow. Yeah. The villains. But donโt worry, Iโm not gonna kidnap you and mind control you. Iโm not gonna steal your art either. Much to my parents’ disgust, Iโm all about doing good. Thatโs where my story starts. But before I get to that, let me give you a brief backstory.
Fifteen years ago, you and Amelia made a potion then you gave it to the villains as a drink. They drank it, but little did they know, if they ever had children, the potion would make them good. Fortunately, all the villains kids were born after the potion was made so they were all good!
Unfortunately, the villains found out about the potion, and made a new one to turn their kids evil. None of the kids knew about the potion, so everyone drank it. Everyoneโฆ exceptโฆ me. I heard Mom and Dad talking about it. (Villains talk VERY loud.)
I loved being nice. I held the door for others at school, fed the birds, and did my chores. So I didnโt drink anything unless I was sure I knew what it was for the whole month. I acted all nasty in front of Mom and Dad, and my โfriendsโ (that turned evil overnight, so I wasnโt quite friends with them. But with other people and when by myself, I was nice. It was hard living like that.
That was when I was seven. Now that I’ve turned 13, I’m an official villain, and it has been 15 years since my parents drank that potion.
For six years, I never had the courage to tell them I was good. But now that I’m a teenager, I feel ready. After all, I am their daughter… whatโs the worst they can say?
TO BE CONTINUED

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by HeartOfEnder. Enjoy!
Welcome back to Seven Systems! Apologies, it’s been a while. Letโs do a quick recap of Part 3:
The queenโs knights are patrolling Astro-Knights Island, where the Baron is rumored to be. Tempest awakens a mysterious dragon form while defending the citizens from the queenโs knightsโฆ and thatโs where we left off. Letโs get back into it! (Or start from the beginning here.)
(“Dragon form Tempest” by Solemn-Siren/HeartOfEnder)
THE SEVEN SYSTEMS Part Four: The StormCaller (Continued from Part 3)
TEMPEST, in her new dragon form, immediately leaps into action. She swats a knight that was behind her with one swish of her tail, before leaping into the air and landing on top of the fountain, sharp claws gripped onto the stone.
TEMPEST:
Hear me, knights! You do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, touch the people of this kingdom! You canโt just bring innocent people into a battle they know nothing about, and I will now punish you for it!
TEMPEST jumps off the fountain, landing on the ground and sending a lightning shockwave across the ground, knocking nearby guards off their feet. She immediately leaps back into the air, levitating across the ground as if the air was water.ย
Despite this threat, the knights try to fight back. But they stand no chance against a massive lightning breath from TEMPEST, which also scorches the nearby grass.
TEMPEST continues to gracefully fight the knights, alternating between leaping across the ground and floating in the air. The knights fall one by one, until only a few are left.ย
They try to flee, but TEMPEST has something prepared for them, flying into the sky as it begins to darken and rainโฆย
HELLO THERE! The chains of writer’s block and responsibilities have finally loosened, so I could finish up this last episode! So I have a couple things Iโd like to say, but Iโll save it for the end. ๐ Enjoy! (Or catch the previous one here, or start from the beginning here.)
ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!
A Zomberry Series
Episode Twenty: The Gambit and The Antidote and The End
Mr. Gambit (AKA Samuel Brains) was pacing his study in a controlled sort of panic.His empireโhis beloved, powerful empireโwas in danger of extinction.ย
Well, maybe that was an exaggeration, but with the fact that all his prisoners escaped and nearly all of his employees were confused and no longer under his command, he felt like it was the truth.At least his zombies hadnโt gotten out of where he was keeping them. At least, that!
But still, Poptropica wasnโt quite under his grasp anymore. Mr. Gambit had to be careful. He had to gather his most loyal followers and salvage this somehow, before it was too late.Mr. Gambit held his watch up to his face, pressed a button, and spoke into it.
Mr. Gambit
All staff, report to my office at once!
He knew, at least, all the loyal ones would come. He had to figure out this mess. If anyone got their hands on anymore antidoteโMr. Gambit didnโt want to think about that.ย Luckily, he locked it away in a place only he, and a handful of carefully selected others, would be able to access.
Knock, Knock.Someone was at the door! He walked forward and peered in the eyeglass.
Hey Poptropicans, this is aย guest postย by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!
Whether it be Poptropolis teams, tribal common rooms, or Poptastic Night Watch Island hats, the Tribes are among the most memorable, iconic traits of Poptropica!ย Even in our post-Glowbhax years, where you need Steam or Flashpoint to access anything tribe-related, loyal tribe fans everywhere have kept the legacy going.
In addition to the Poptropica Help Blogโs TribalTournaments and dedicated tribe pages, there have been Poptropicans who designed their clubhouses in tribal themes (like Seraphim) and invited other members of their tribe to dress in their tribal colors and join in the fun!
ย And then there’s me:ย a guest blogger who shared the legacy of tribes back on Poptropica.com, and has now returned to share about the tribes in a way like never before! โฆStarting with our friend the Flying Squid.
The FLYING SQUIDis the cephalopod tribe that will never be dismantledโฆ Especially since it was the Poptropolis Gamesโ default tribe, where newcomers like me were assigned to before they got to choose a tribe for themselves.
TheWILDFIREtribe proved their burning desire to be the best, back when the first Poptropolis Island sank to the sea.ย It was there that the Poptropicans from every tribe were challenged to swim down to that island and dig it back up, so that the Poptropolis 2013 island could rise… And the Wildfires dug up more of the island than every other tribe combined! โAll hail the Wildfires!โ
The YELLOWJACKETSare a fearless yellow tribe intent on making their rivals yellow with fear. What makes these hornets even scarier is that the PoptropiCon villain Omegon is said to have originated from an experimental tribal Yellowjacket costume project that Poptropica made long agoโฆ
The BLACK FLAGSwill stop at nothing to plant their flag of victory. My second favorite tribe, and a clear opposite of the White Flag of Surrender. Pirate fans, welcome aboard! P.S. Ye can also find the Black Flag on me PIRATE MOVIE, with the mark of another tribe stamped upon it!
The PATHFINDERS, whom I call the โLost Poptropicansโ, are looking to find their path, and find a gold medal…
…while the SERAPHIMride on the wings of their dreams, for better or worse. In my experience, these two tribes have found much in common with each other, and their members have been known to make friends and form alliances with each other in places like the Hub โ Home Island’s first arcade, identical to the Pathfinders’ common room โย the perfect place for any lost Poptropicans!
The NIGHTCRAWLERSare sneaky. They only act like pushovers so they can trap you, like the Black Widow, or even the Teen Arachnid! โฆWhy the Arachnid? Letโs just say that Nightcrawler is one of the many tribal names I used as superhero codenames for my PoptropiCon comic saga.ย (Final comic book still under construction. I must remain vigilant!)
Lastly, the NANOBOTS. This tribe is programmed for victory, and believes that tiny is mighty! โฆOr maybe itโs a tribe for those who know their way around computers and programming. Who knows?
Which tribe is YOUR favorite? โฆMY favorite is the Seraphim Tribe!
But when I first chose it as my tribe, I didnโt know any of this tribal information that I know now. (Except for the default tribe, Flying Squid.) I didnโt know the โwings of your dreamsโ description for the Seraphim. I just thought that a tribe of flaming swordfighting angels was the coolest tribe to be in!
I also thought the Seraphim had the coolest common room. As much as I wanted to switch tribes and check out the other tribal common rooms, I didnโt want to leave the awesome tribe or common room I was already in! My favorite tribe felt like an AWESOME exclusive club to me. It felt like I was part of a union, or a clan, or even an Ephraim Universityfraternity/sorority!ย Did your favorite tribe feel like that?
Seraphim tribal common room
โฆIf not, thatโs ok. Itโs possible that none of the 8 Poptropica Tribes were for you, or you didnโt even have the chance to join a tribe before the wave of Glowbhax!
So to wrap this post up, hereโs a big question for you: If you were to make your own tribe, what would it be?
โฆBecause if I were to make my own tribe, it would look like THIS.
If you want to design a tribe too, you can find the activity sheet right here. You can even print out a set of your own tribal cards for you to color any way you want. (Note: These tribal fan cards are for your personal enjoyment only, not for public dueling tournaments!!)
Enjoy the activities, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments about your favorite tribes, AND your custom tribes!
Thatโs all for now. Pop to ya later!
Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy watching her full-length Poptropica fan movie, Battle Morale!
