Smashing Success

Slanted Fish

Hey PHB readers! Just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to come to the Poptropica Help Blog, as we have just hit 4.8 million pageviews (and hopefully reach 5 million by summer)!

Last night’s PHB Author Night [2] was a smashing success, and although I was not available, those in attendance can probably attest to having a great time chatting with PHB authors and other fellow readers! If you would like to be a part of a Poptropica chat community, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) is a friendly place and an affiliate of ours. The next Author Night will be here before we know it, and hopefully continues to become a successful event!

See the champion, my friend.

The Poptropica Creators have a new post on their blog about the Daily Pop game leaderboards for the ‘brick-obliterating’ “Smashing.” Captain Crawfish admits he’s not doing quite as well the current top champion, Grumpy Lightning with his score of 1,199,000. Nice job!

The PHB probably won’t be posting this kind of post (Daily Pop game scores) much, since it isn’t really considered news that most people would prefer to see, but if you’re interested: it’s a reminder that scores reset at the beginning of the month, so you’d better get “smashing” if you want to beat that high score!

[Update] Game for another SMASH HIT? The Flamin’ Skulls Poptropica band is out with a new song – “Drawn This Way,” a parody of Lady Gaga’s new hit ‘Born This Way,’ written by FS fan Scootdaloop188! And this one’s about sketchydoodley (okay that’s not a word xD) Wimpy Wonderland!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

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

Grammar Police-STOP RIGHT THERE, EL5!
EL5-What’s going on?
GP-YOU USED THE INCORRECT SPELLING OF IS AND SAID IZ!
EL5-It was for the comedic effect, officer.
GP-I’ll be watching you. :@
EL5-Ok then… you know the score.

You know the score

With one week to go in February, let’s check in on some of the high score lists in the Daily Pop. Right now we’re seeing a big spread in scores for the game “Candy & Clyde.”

Today’s high scorer, Grey Shark, is also has the high score for the week: a cool 365. But check out what’s happening below him!

Quiet Burger is crushing the competition for the month, with a monstrous score of 20,785. Well done!

Do you think you can beat Quiet Burger’s score for February? You’ve got one week left to visit the games section of the Daily Pop and find out!

Joe: Got a jetpack with your name on it! 😀
Hijuyo: …and WHO, may I ask, are YOU?
Joe: Uh, thought you might like to interview someone else for a change. The next Captain Crawfish in the family line told me to sub in for him. I’m a rocketeer with my own UFO and game named after myself. Not bad if I do say so myself.
Hijuyo: You mean we don’t get to eat anyone today? Aw. Well then, what’s the news now?
Joe: I’ll show you. C’mon, here we go.. come with me..
Hijuyo: Wait, wait, hold on. Where are we even going?! How can you see if your eyes are closed? What does this have to do with anything? I ain’t never been to space before–
Joe: Hold my hand if you feelin’ scared. There’s a world out there that we should see. Let’s fly.
<HJY and J board a UFO>

UFO Joe a-go-go

up, up here we go, go…

[above the clouds and the atmosphere]
Hijuyo: How’d we get up here?
Joe: Where we go, we don’t need roads. And where we stop, nobody knows.
Hijuyo: You mean we’re lost? Where we at?
Joe: Only few have known. We’re on some next level – Super Mario.
Hijuyo: So we’re talking about games now. Is that it?
Joe: Actually, yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I thought I’d bring to your attention that the competition for the game UFO Joe on the Daily Pop is getting pretty heated up. Check it.

I'm a rocketeer!

Joe: Calm Star currently holds top score for both the day and week right now with 38,180 points, but if you thought that was something, take a look at this guy – Purple Ant’s on top for the month with 50,800. There’s only a couple days left in January if you want to catch up to that – just a challenge for you rocketeers.
Hijuyo: It’s on!
Joe: Well then, I hope this works out – cardio. Until then, we’re flyin’ up, up outta here.

Lil Tips and Tricks

Rainfall

Black Widow strikes again! This time she’s posting–not exactly a news story or update– but a few tips to help the newer Poptropica players to find their way around.

Costume quest

You fashionistas out there already know that there are hundreds of outfits on Poptropica that you can costumize on Islands, or buy in the Store. And there are thousands of possible costume combinations that you can put together when you combine pieces from them all.

All those accessories can be hard to hold onto. Here are a few tricks for keeping around your favorite ensembles.


The Costume Collector Gold Card is available in the Poptropica store. It’s free to use for Members, or 250 Credits for non-Members. With the Costume Collector, you can store up to three of your costumes exactly as they are, so you don’t have to worry about having to put them all together again later.

The Portrait Printer, also in the Store free for Members and 250 Credits for non-Members, lets you immortalize your greatest fashion creations on paper. You can pose your Poptropican, add one of several backgrounds, and then print it out for all to see!

Finally, all Members and non-Members with a Poptropica username can use the Avatar Studio to save a picture of their current look and share it with the world. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and play dress up!

While older members may know these, it’s always nice to have a bit more knowledge. After all, knowledge leads you to frolic– no, knowledge leads you to college! Or something all the adults say to trick you into eating your brussel sprouts and spinach. Either way, isn’t frolicking in the flowers quite fun?

What’s your favorite thing out of these three awesome advantages to Pop? (other then frolicking and skipping in the daisies, which no doubt the creators must add as a feature.)

As for the Daily Pop, there’s a new one called “Mine Is Yours”. How queer? Perhaps the “Mine” actually means… a mine!

*squee* Isn't Shark Boy just the most adorable?! Sorry, fangirl moment there.

It seems to be a scene from Nabooti Island– or perhaps an old island idea that was scrapped, or even an *gasp* upcoming island! As for me, if I were stuck in that unfortunate Poptropican’s place I’d probably be screaming my lungs out as well.

I took the liberty to go on my backup account and check out the mines at Nabooti. It took me a giant 18 minutes to get the camera and hard hat and everything! The things I do for you guys.

They don’t seem to resemble each other much. You don’t see that giant pipe thing or the broken boards in the background of the Daily Pop picture. Perhaps it was an early sketch.

By the way, maybe you know, and if you didn’t, you gained some more knowledge for frolicking! Tomorrow, January 8th (at least for the states), it’ll be none other then…The King of Rock n’ Roll’s birthday! Yes, lady and gents, Elvis Presley himself! Just a little fun fact I know c:
