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!

Popspiracy Theories

Poptropica: A Symbolic Meaning

Spencer

Hoi, I’m Koi.

Poptropica has a recurring sci-fi theme. The only two things that connect them all usually is space and… the symbols. Why I deemed it necessary to say usually is because Zomberry was science fiction, but really had nothing to do with this in the grand scheme of things. Let’s begin!

Nabooti

tumblr_inline_msb1e5MFJf1qz4rgp

The first time we encountered these alien scribblings was while we were on a scavenger hunt all through Africa! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, they were imbedded into the Nabooti jewels. When they were all put into the correct order into a wooden totem, it became alive. Then, it thanked us, and returned back to it’s home planet.

Astro-Knights

The second time we encounter the galactic gibberish is on Astro-Knights.

Now listen, there’s no way to confirm that the writing is absolutely the same language. But, I do have a weird theory. The totem on Nabooti was activated by the writing. When the UFO was getting activated, it went from English to what you can see above. I think the language acts as a power source. Everywhere else on the island, any space signs or books are in English.

Mission Atlantis

The symbols once more act as some kind of space fuel. Also, notice how uncanny these letters compare to Astro-Knights… hm.

Monkey Wrench

While these don’t exactly work as a source of power, they are a language. There’s no way to confirm if these are all the same one, but here’s my Popspiracy:

Poptropicans descended from aliens.

Really, it does make a fair share of sense. While the aliens we’ve seen are on the Pewter moon, they may not have derived from that planet. They can clearly space travel, mind the rockets. It’s possible that they speak English, but write it in a different way. It’s also possible they crash landed, or purposely chose Poptropica. Then, their skin pigments adapted to the environment, their hair adapted to the heat, but one thing that always stayed was their instinct to write in their chicken scratch / extra-terrestrial hieroglyphics.

It’s also logical how when we go to the Pewter moon, the aliens speak to us in our language, and any island in space’s signs and messenges are in English. It’s perfectly possible that English is the prominent communication of the universe, as an extension to my earlier thought.

I understand it’s a game, and the Aliens not speaking English would be hard for kids and anyone for that matter to really understand the story and the game. Though, theoretical does it not only make sense – with what I’ve provided, it also is logical, and better than anything as of now. 😛

What do y’alls think? Are Monktropicans, Poptropicans, and Aliens linked?

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:
