Slanted Fish

Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep…

Hold on a second, what’s going on here? A malfunction with our systems?

Nope, but issue #7 of the PHB’s Poptropican’s 911 monthly newsletter has arrived! Don’t look so bewildered – any true Poptropica fan would want to read this. 🙂

Redirect to Issue #7

Also, our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget to the right side has been updated with the question, ”What do you think of the upcoming Counterfeit Island?” Move your cursor over there and submit your opinion!

November 2009’s poll question read, ”Did you pay any real money for Poptropica merchandise?” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
No, I did not spend real money for Poptropica products. | 1,501 | 76%
I bought credits to spend at the Poptropica Store. | 292 | 15%
I bought Poptropica T-shirts from Zazzle.com. | 65 | 3%
I bought device skins from SkinIt.com. | 58 | 3%
I bought Larger Than Life stickers at LTLprints.com. | 53 | 3%

Total votes: 1,969

The majority says they do not spend real-life money on Poptropica products. Looks like the Poptropica Creators are going to have to keep working at it *cough*LOWERPRICESPLEASE*cough* if they want more purchases on their stuff! xD

Hope you’ll enjoy reading our 911 this month, and maybe even be inspired to submit your own entries! Congratulations to everyone who entered something for the 911, whether it made it or not. 🙂

In other news, those of you who are between 6 to 12 years old are in for a treat! There’s an advertisement building on Main Street that includes a mini-quest and a costume for your reward. Shark Boy from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog has supplied the world with the following image:

The helicopter at the top brings you to the town of Chewandswallow, where you must rescue an off switch and return it to its maker! It is advertising a movie called Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, which is based on a book with the same title. After you find the off switch, which is located on the left side on top of a building, you’ll get to sail on a gigantic sandwich!

The image at the bottom shows the Bedknobs and Broomsticks ad building game, which Gazek has described in this post:

Poptropican’s 911: Issue #3

Slanted Fish

[We have updated our blog header – thanks, Codien!]

Sorry for the one-day late post, but yesterday the PHB added the third issue of the Poptropican’s 911 newsletter to the 911 page! This month we have loads of cool stuff loaded onto that 1 page, including TEN stories written by many creative authors! There is also an idea for ”Olympic Island” in there, for those of you who love historical sports, and a comic revealing that an alien working at Pewter Moon’s AstroZone store has been lying to its customers! Go on, you know you have to read August 2009’s newsletter:

The treasures are waiting!

We’ve also updated our monthly Poptropica Poll. This time, the answers are multiple choice – so if more than one answer suits you, choose as many options as you desire! (Keep in mind that because everyone is allowed to vote for more than one answer, it may not total up to exactly 100%.) Our latest question reads, ”Which Poptropica Creator(s) have you met so far?”, and it’s based on which Creators you have been meeting hanging around in the all-new Multiverse or some other Main Street multiplayer room!

July 2009’s poll question was, ”Reality TV Island is coming this summer! I’m most excited about:” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Playing another awesome Poptropica island quest | 268 | 16%
Earning 100 credits to spend at the Poptropica Store | 109 | 7%
Having more possibilities with the Costumizer so I can update my outfit | 54 | 3%
Exploring the whole island to complete another Map | 51 | 3%
Winning the Island Medallion to add to my collection | 41 | 3%
Having another multiplayer room to hang out at | 16 | 1%
All of the above! | 1,050 | 64%
What’s Reality TV Island? | 53 | 3%

Announcement:
We have changed the ”Poptropica Talk” page to ”Poptropica Chat”. This is because we’ve added a new feature on that page: a chatbox, which we call the Poptropica Help Chatroom! You can also access it here: http://xat.com/Poptropica_Help. 😉

Yesterday I met some more PHB readers! Golden Eagle invited me to her Multiverse room, where I got to see lots of cool Poptropicans, including Smockers, an awesome author working at this blog! Some other people I saw were Shaggy Tornado, Squeezy Monster, Speedy Hawk (known as Hoppy on PHB), Short Sun, Big Bird (AKA Deathstalker or Seph), Speedy Crown (sometimes called Poptropicalover), Popular Storm, and Dangerous Claw (Johnmoo on PHF). There were a few others as well, but they left before I could get their names. Here’s some photos of us:
