Hellos & Goodbyes

A Perfect Introduction to a New Author

Hey everyone

My name isĀ Perfect Sky, but you can call meĀ PS for short. LotsĀ of you may already know me from the PHC, my YouTube channel, or the guest posts I’ve previously written for the PHB.

So, as some of you probably heard on the PHC, my birthday was two days ago. Before my birthday, I already knew what most of my gifts would be. They mostlyĀ consisted of money, gift cards, and chocolate, which is pretty much all I wanted. But little did I know when I woke up in the morning, that I would receive a message from Fishy that evening, inviting me to join the PHB. I was shocked!

Now, for some background.Ā I started playing PoptropicaĀ in February 2008, so I’ve absolutely lovedĀ the game for nearly 9 years now. My very first Poptropican wasĀ named Sticky Foot, although I don’t remember theĀ username. I madeĀ several different Poptropicans,Ā until I finally made my current account in 2009, and decided to stick with it. My username is stupiddirectord, if you want to friend me. I still don’t know why I chose that username, all I remember is that I just completed Spy Island on aĀ differentĀ account, and I was mad at Director D.

In the summer of 2013, I created a YouTube channel, where I post Poptropica movies. I was originally inspired to make Pop videos by a channel called PoptropicaStars, which had a series called Fashion Fever. Yeah, I was obsessed. So, I’ve been making videos for a few years now.

Joining YouTube was my first experienceĀ in the Poptropica community. However, I didn’t know how big the community actually wasĀ until I joined Discord this past summer. I don’t want to keep blabbing on about this, so feel free to check out my MPIP for more details.

Well, that’s all for now. Once again, I want to thank all theĀ authors for this amazing opportunity, and I’m really looking forward to posting here on the PHB!

No joke: A lucky new author is here!

Howdy Poptropicans! (dramatic entrance) I’m Lucky Joker, the newest PHB author! First off, I’d like to say hello to all of my new co-authors, as well as a big thank you to Slanted Fish for inviting me to write on this blog.

To tell a bit about myself, I’m a teen living in the U.S. Some of my hobbies include reading, drawing, collecting toys, and writing — blogging being my favorite in particular. As some of you may know, I used to run a Poptropica blog of my own alongside White Ice, an awesome community member here. Unfortunately, when we were at our peak, it was hacked and deleted (moment of awkward silence while crickets chirp)

Enough with the bad news. The good news is that I’m here now and that I’m able to share my love with the best community around. Not to mention that I have the amazing opportunity to do so on the biggest Poptropica blog on the internet. Seriously, I cannot express the state of excitement I’m in, let alone through a computer screen. Here’s my happy dance to prove it!

With all of that said, I hope you’ve gotten to know me a little more — and if you’ve read to this point, I commend you on your patience in regards to my rambling. Hopefully, you can bear with my weirdness and even come to enjoy it. I’m very eager to see what happens next and to meet a lot of new people! (dramatic exit)

Po-tropica and the Map Medallion

Hey guys! It’s a new author here bringing you some (slightly) old news!

In celebration of Kung Fu Panda 3‘s release forĀ DVD, there are two new ad item cards available in your inventory!Ā Po Follower is, well, aĀ Po follower, andĀ Pandas Everywhere makesĀ all Poptropicans onscreenĀ turn into pandas when spacebar is pressed.

Also, some of you may have noticed by now there is a new medallion“Map”.

map
This may or may not be an excuse to show off how many islands I’ve completed.

What does this mean?! Is it a new quest where weĀ must visitĀ every single island? Is it another island based on Mystery of the Map? Can you receive itĀ upon completing every island? Whatever it is, it definitely isn’t the result ofĀ classifying the new map as an island in the code. *cough* šŸ˜‰

Finally, Poptropica retweeted a video fromĀ EthanGamerTV,Ā aĀ popular child gamer on YouTube with over 800 thousand subscribers. In his video, EthanĀ plays Poptropica’s tutorial Monkey Wrench Island (which the PHB recently reviewed here!), for the first time.Ā (He also may or may not be a hot dog.) If you’re interested, check it out below! It’s quite professionally made.

That’s all from me for now.

Welcoming Another Author: Mighty Gamer

Nope, this isn’t a guest post.

Hey, Poptropicans!

I’m Mighty Gamer, as some of you may know. You can call me Emily, MG, or just plain ol’ Mighty Gamer. Whatever works for you! Yes, the post title isĀ correct. I am an author on this blog now, and I’d like to thank Slanted FishĀ and ultimately, everyone else on the team for the invite.

Now, to tell you a little about myself.

MightyGamer126

I’ve known about Poptropica since I was a young girl, when I was aboutĀ 7. Though, I have taken a few breaks from the game at different points in my life. I won’t bore you with the details, but if you want to read my MPIP, you’re free to do that, too.

I’m a 15 year-old girl slightly obsessed with the internet. Ha, yeah, slightly. Let’s go with that. I like online gaming and Steam, reading, writing, and I enjoy drawing, even though I don’t do it that much. Oh yeah, and blogging. I guess you could say that’s why I’m here today! Well, and Poptropica, but that’s pretty obvious, I’m sure. šŸ˜›

I enjoy making friends and being friendly, so I hope I can be exactly that to everyone. I also have my own blog, Explore Collect Compete, and I work on Poptropica Tips. I made ECC on November 15, and was invited to Poptropica Tips last month [April]. I was apart of the MPB “squad”, too, but now the blog is inactive. At least for now.

And since this is a Poptropica blog, I’ll share some info on my characters. My main accountĀ MightyGamer126Ā has 57 islands completed, and is a member. My second account, DianatheHunter, is not a member, and has 24 islands completed currently. You can add them both, if you want. Both have the same names and signature look, which you can seeĀ above.

Well, I believe that’s all for this post! If you’d like to know a little more about me, feel free to comment any question you’d like below. I don’t bite, I promise. šŸ˜›

Your newest author and pizza lover [that had to be made known],

P.S. I’ve started a collection of short stories that willĀ be shared with you all sometime soon! The first “journal entry” won’t be too long and detailed, but this is just the beginning! Stay tuned. šŸ˜‰

Contests, Hellos & Goodbyes

Take care, Poptropicans. (Also: Results for Cobalt’s Contest!)

Hey folks, it’s Cobalt, no, Spencer here, with some saddening news, and a lot of commas.

I was here for what, a month, a bit longer? Yeah, I know. I’m sorry if you all became somewhat attached to me. But listen, I’ll never forget this. Any of this. I’ll never forget being Cobalt, and I’ll never forget you. I’ll be 90 something, 100 or more if I’m lucky, on my deathbed and I promise, I swear, I’ll have this place in mind. You won’t know when I die, any of you online pals or fans, but if I were to get in a car crash tomorrow, I want you all to know I died loving you all.

Sorry for getting a tad personal, but I want my goodbye to be genuinely from the heart. I’ve always downright hated my environment. My school, my home life, my family hardships and so forth. I always wanted something just otherworldly to happen to me. Like, turn into The Flash or get a letter to attend Hogwarts. I never got struck by lightning, or an owl flinging himself against my window with an invitation to a wizard school. But, I did get an invitation to work here. The opportunity to work on a blog you’ve been a fan of for roughly half your life? Yeah, that’s pretty otherworldly.

So, why am I leaving? Why am I abandoning this community and game altogether? Well, there really is no way to word this without it sounding like a sob story, but here I go.

I need to work on myself, and pursue other interests and move on. I was the kid in 4th grade that blew his homework to play Big Nate Island on its release day, diss going outside on a hot Spring day to play Mythology Island, and beg my Grandma to buy me membership so I could obtain the limited edition golden renegade robot store item. I’m just not that kid anymore, and sadly, I got what I wanted, but what the young Spencer wanted, not the older Spencer. Does that make sense? At all? No? Okay.

Thank you for the privilege, Slanted Fish. HP, Sam, UIPE, Fishy, Blake, BT, Slip, and SD… thank you for being my buddy pal amigos who embraced my love for circles, and becoming my part time therapists. I won’t be on Discord anymore, nor the comment section. But, I plan on keeping contact with the staff of the PHB, and I’ll still be lurking this place. So, I’ll still be speaking with them, they’re my buddy pal amigos after all, and I’ll be happy to be in the Poppies, along with voicing Cobalt in Orb Legend. Because well, sometimes in order to move forward, you have to look back.

But, what’s next for me? Well, with the help of a buddy pal amigo, I will be attempting to make rap music. So, that’s pretty gnarly.

Guess what else?Ā It’s been a week since the little PHB 24 million hits contest, and I promised to announce the winners. My co-author UiPEĀ will be getting the accounts to the winners, so if you won, stay tuned. Anyway, here they are:

Never-Seen Ninja: Cuddly Knuckle

Rock and Roll All Knight: Funny Ant

More-Dred’s Mace: Some Guy

Pretty Pistol: Short Feather

Secret Samurai: CrazyĀ Sinker

To read theirĀ entries, check out the comments section of the contest post:Ā Top Five Unreleased Items, Unleashed!Ā Great entries, guys. Do great things in life. All of you.

Play the game, don’t let the game play you.

–Spencer JD

Take care folks.
