Bird boat?

May 6, 2010May 7, 2010 Slanted Fish

On the Poptropica Facebook page, there’s a special sneak peek for Skullduggery Island, clearly related to the bird boat seen yesterday. The “scrambled” bits of the picture in the last sneak peek are clearly arranged here and obviously belong to this ship.

Looks like this Skullduggery Island ship is almost ready for its christening! Wonder what it’s called…

What do you think? Here were some thoughts from other Poptropican players on our Poptropica Help Forums:

“Looks like a weird ceremony for the preparation of a ship.” ~Setew2
“Maybe food for the bird so it doesn’t pick your eyeballs out? …just theory.” ~Coderkid
“The pirates are birds.” ~Sanzulines
“To christen a boat you smash a bottle champaign against the side.” ~MuddyDragon
“Maybe it’s some lame trap? o_0” ~Happy Fang

This large vessel seems to be designed to look like a bird, and this scene shows that it is about to receive a name. Yellow ribbons aligned on the dock and a bottle of apple cider hanging from the sky portrays a celebration, but what’s with the seed bag? ._.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been around for a while, but I’ve been really busy with exams and such. Trust me, when you get into high school, not to mention the grade I’m in, your workload gets insane. I’m talking REALLY insane. I have 5 hours of homework each night plus studying. Ouch.

Anyway, new PCB post. Here it is:

Tweet Ride!

One of my minions sent me these snapshots from his vacation on Skullduggery Island. I can’t tell what it is. A ship? A bird of prey? Whatever it is, it looks enormous!

This is obviously a shot from Skullduggery Island. It looks like a game in which we have to assemble the pieces. I’m guessing it’s some sort of pirate schooner with a bird (eagle? hawk? perhaps even a dragon, because of the claws and eye) as a mascot.

The image name is “Tweet Ride.” It sure is sweet, or “tweet.” The “ride” part makes me certain it’s a ship, along with the shot of the sail. Very interesting. Perhaps we have to assemble the pieces in order to gain access to the ship. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see….

*Tweet!* Did you know? The PHB is affiliated with Poptropica Help Tweets, our Twitter page which you can always come back to check at: http://twitter.com/PoptropicaHelp. For the birds. 😀

You would not believe your eyes
When you make a poor kid fly
As you give him a shiny green balloon

He’ll fly above the square
and look down from in the air
You’d think me rude but I would just stand and… stare

I’d like to make myself believe
That he floated to RTV
It’s hard to say I’d rather stay and wait for him to come down
While I could tell his mother and she’d frown…

~Excerpt from “Balloon Boy” to the tune of “Fireflies” by Owl City

Cool songs (such as the one above, and more!) written by songwriter Hyper Star performed by the Flamin’ Skulls, the awesomest Poptropica rock band around!

Junk boat: a Skullduggery sneak peek!

April 23, 2010November 22, 2014 Slanted Fish

Poptropica Creator Hades posted a sneak peek with “SkullduggeryIsland” in its name, so that could be an island coming soon to Poptropica for all we know. The word “skullduggery” refers to dishonorable acts, which means we may be dealing with dishonesty on Poptropica… not digging skulls. 😛

Blog Post Title: Shiver me timbers!
Description: Ahoy! We’ve been sailin’ the high seas for more Poptropica adventures! Arr…what be this new port?

You know what that sneak peek REALLY looks like?

A classic junk boat from my home city Hong Kong. 🙂

Lastly, happy birthday to PHB author XBrokenRoseX! 😀 Well, that’s all for now.

Annieway, the new island coming up will be called…

PIRATE TRADE

Ooooooooooooh yeah. Lets say it again, with “island” on the end.

PIRATE TRADE ISLAND

Wow. It sounds even better when you say it twice. Third time’s a charm…:D

PIRATE TRADE ISLAND

OK, I’m bored. 😐 It’s not a crime.

This island sounds to me like we’ll be…trading…pirates. :O BRAIN-BLAST!!! We’ll be trading pirates! I’m such a genius. I always told my mom I wasn’t an idiot… =D The Creators showed us a sneak peek of this island, via their Facebook update:
