Slap that Jack

Captain Crawfish 28-Because EL5 was too lazy to think of a nomming adventure, I will fall into his mouth chopped in half. *does so*

EL5-NOMONOMOMOMOMOMONOMONOMNOMON. Now for this awesome yet previously declared update. We’ve got some news about our slapjack tricks. Posted on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog was some advice for one of the games on Wild West Island – Slap Jack!

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: The Slap Jack fake-out

One of the games on Wild West Island is a version of the card game Slap Jack. It follows the standard rules: you and your opponents take turns dealing one card into the center pile. When somebody puts down a Jack, the first player to slap the pile wins the cards. You win when all of your opponents have run out of cards. Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, it is, except for one thing: the fake-out.

When you’re dealing a Jack from your pile, you can bluff. Slide the card only partway to the center of the table, then pull it back, and there’s a chance one of your opponents might slap the pile anyway. If they do, you get a card from their draw pile. But be careful! Your opponents will try to fake you out, too. The same rule applies: if you slap the pile before the Jack is placed, you’ll lose a card to the player who tricked you.

Good luck out there. As with everything you’ll do on Wild West Island, the stakes are high.

Well, that’s pretty much the “Let them eat cake” isn’t it? (For those who don’t know, “Let them eat cake” were the words that started the French revolution) If that doesn’t start a non-member revolution then I don’t know what will. -___-

Changing the subject, here are a few sneaky peakies from the Daily Pop.

Home Sweet Home: Just a quiet house in the suburbs. Or is it? Yes, it is.

No! It’s home to the chicken, who, quite famously, crossed the road. :O

Track Changes: You might want to watch out for anyone from the wrong side of the tracks. But which side is that?

Oh, dur. It’s the right side that’s the wrong side! Uh, wait no, it’s left that’s right and right that’s left! Um, no, I got it, the right is half wrong and the left is half right, but how much more half wrong or right than the other side? It’s tough to say. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Old School: This is Poptropica — you know there’s more here than meets the eye.

Yep, there are cheerleaders hiding inside the lockers, ready to leap out and cheer the new cheer. Or the lockers are revolving doors that lead the cheerleaders into the tryouts. Or………….. *suspense*…………….. it’s a school! *SCREAM!!!*

Dryer Eyes: Even more fantastical adventures await. Behold, the Laundromat!

Yeah, fantastical! Socks, breeches and britches!

We did not know you were real,

But the creators reveal these pictures!

Round and round and round you go,

making the wet clothes dry!

It sounds so exciting,

so in our blimp we’ll fly!

To laundry island! The island of clothes!

And washing machines, I’ll bet!

Everyone’s cleaning, and washing their clothes!

Be careful not to get wet!

But now the soap is running out,

and the clothes are clogged with mud!

Everyone pays for brand soap,

But the mixture is actually a dud!

So you catch this fraud, this crooked thief,

The one who everyone blames!

The wicked soap maker, who is called,

Ironically, Dirty James!

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Later, peeps. Green Boa

Wild West Island

I’d rather be sailing

February 24, 2011February 25, 2011 Slanted Fish

(You hear the neigh of a horse in the distance. The sound of horse hooves clomping closer and closer gets your attention, and you turn to see… Captain Crawfish riding a horse!)

Hijuyo: Woah there, Crawfish! What brought you here? Fate? Destiny?
CC: A horse.
Hijuyo: Oh, right.

CC: Someone get me off this crazy thing! Turns out a horse is harder to control than a pirate ship! At least it doesn’t smell as bad as my scurvy crew, but dang, I would much rather be sailing…
Hijuyo: Well sir, I do hope you’re ready to be nommed.
CC: Whaaa…?
Hijuyo: *clobbers CC with a pan* Wow! Frying pans, who knew, right?
CC: *falls to the ground. opens one eye* Gah, and all I wanted to say was that I hoped to see some Poptropica members on Wild West Island this weekend…
Hijuyo: *clobbers CC again and stuffs him into a refrigerator* I’ve got a person in my fridge! 😀
*The PHB mob runs over each other and make a beeline for the fridge*
Hijuyo: Eat up, and don’t forget, the horse meat doesn’t taste too bad either!

Wild West Island

Reload… FIRE!

February 20, 2011February 20, 2011 Hicoga

Hey guys, Hicoga here.

Captain Crawfish made a new post to give you Poptropica members a helpful hint to let you beat some cowboys at sharpshootin’. And for the record, no, I’m not nomming him.

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: Reload!

A lot of Poptropica Members are getting ready to journey to Wild West Island this weekend. Wild West Island is one of our most varied adventures to date, with a lot of different mini-games to enjoy. Here’s a quick tip that should help you get through one of them, the shooting contest, with flying colors.

Whether you’re using the pea shooter or the spud gun, you’ll have five shots available before you have to reload (by pressing that big ol’ button at the top of the screen). So watch how many shots you have left. If you don’t, you’ll still get a helpful reminder that you need to reload once you’ve run out.

But here’s the trick: Sometimes, it makes more sense to reload before you’re out of ammo. If your opponent is looking at some targets that have already been hit, take the opportunity to reload, even if you’ve only fired a shot or two. That way, when you find a batch of new targets, you’ll have all the ammo you need. You won’t have to waste valuable time reloading while your opponent shoots them out from in front of you.
