THE SACRED MIDAS TOUCH!

Smockers

Have you ever wanted to channel King Midas’ famous power — turning everything into GOLD?

Of course! It's my biggest dream to have that power albeit the detrimental side effects that would render me uncapable of communicating as I couldn't touch anything or anybody!

You do?  Well, that works out handsomely, because you can just waddle into the Poptropica Store right now, and pick up your very own Midas Touch for the low price of 250 credits. Of course, if you’re wise like myself, you can get it for absolutely FREE!*

*membership required

Speaking of Poptropican membership, here’s a video of me testing it out:

Pretty sweet, eh?  After you’ve seen this video, does your opinion change about membership in Poptropica at all? Do you find yourself on the verge of insanity unless you get your membership? Or, are you not impressed, thinking that you could spend your money on something more useful?  Let us know in the comments! ^_^

I know this doesn’t have much to do with Poptropica, but I would appreciate it if you guys took the time to vote in the Best Virtual World for Kids poll on About.com.

http://familyinternet.about.com/od/resources/ss/readerschoice10-voting_4.htm

Shamefully, Poptropica isn’t on there, but another great virtual world, The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks, is!  Hijuyo, Coderkid, and I all have accounts on there… so it’s bound to be good, right? 😀 I urge you guys to check it out for yourself (CLICK HERE! You know you want to move your cursor over here. ;D) and to vote for it!  We’re in 2nd place right now only bested by… *thunder crashes* WEBKINZ WORLD! UGH (no offense to Webkinz World players)! Of course, I don’t want to force you to vote for The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks; make your best judgment on what virtual world you want to pick (hint: The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks ;)).

Thanks again, everybody!

Coderkid’s Colossal Contest – Prize Updates

coderkid

UPDATE! Thanks to DaVinci we have now confirmed 100% for sure, that EARLY ACCESS WILL NOT be purchasable with credits. Some of you may have already known this, etc., but for those who haven’t, you can now officially begin running around and acting like an insane person, since we all know that this means the end of the world. Good luck, and watch out for those meteors.

On a less sarcastic note, I also just put up a page (http://thephf.com/projects/) which will let you see and stay updated on the current statuses of projects. This way, I don’t get tons of messages asking when’s this and that gonna get done. 😛

Hey guys!

I’m REALLY REALLY sorry about the delay with the accounts. I finally got to them after finishing my homework early and setting aside some time. Took about 2 hours, LOL. Anyway, I finally got them done. Here they are! (These are just the usernames, the passwords for each were sent directly via email)

Each account is equipped with 1025 credits, and the custom name you specified.

  • DaVinci
    Username: davinci_phb
  • Pawsrent
    Username: pawsrent_phb
  • PostopiaLucy
    Username: plucy_phb
  • Moonlight91
    Username: mlight91_phb
  • MuddyDragon
    Username: md_phb
  • Friendly Beetle
    Username: fb_phb
  • BraveHero270
    Username: bhero_phb
  • Cool Wing
    Username: coolwing_phb
  • Squeezy Sinker
    Username: ss_phb
  • Mastermime212
    Username: mm_phb

I feel so free now that that’s off  my plate, LOL. I’m gonna go dance in the rain or something else equally overrated. 😛

If you didn’t get your email, or there is something wrong with the account, leave a comment FULLY describing the problem, and I’ll try and get back to you. Also, I may have gotten the genders wrong on some, so you’ll need to randomize (Ctrl +Shift + R) to fix that.

Hasta la vista,
Coderkid

What would you like to see me create next?

coderkid

OK, I was thinking today – and I came up with zip. Zilch. Nada. Bip. Bing. Ting. Tat. Fip. In other words, nothing. Anyway, here was the question: “What is the BEST thing I could create, that would service Poptropicans/PHB readers the most?” So hopefully, your brains are working better than mine is right now. 😛

Oh – and don’t make it something that’s out of this world, like say, a credits generator. And yes, I know that that’s exactly what you were thinking. And yes, I am psychic. And yes, I am standing behind you as you read this. Boo.

But getting on – if you have any good ideas, I mean really good ideas, hit me with em’. If yours is chosen, you’ll get tons of credit. No, not CREDITS, you greedy little man, CREDIT. Two different things. Don’t get it mixed up.

So COMMENTTTTTT nowz. Thanks you. And YES, I said THANKS you. Deal with it.

Thanks,
A MadMan.

BTW – Don’t forget all the awesome posts below. Check em’ out, g-dog:

It’s…DaVinci! (No, famous people aren’t coming back from the dead)
Kickin’ it with the Creators (Luckily, the Creators survived with minor injuries)

Lastly, sending accounts has been delayed – mostly cause I just haven’t had the time. But don’t worry, you’ll get them. 😉

It’s… DaVinci!

Coskit

What’s UP people! It’s DaVinci! I’m the new author on the PHB. I’m a girl and I’m 13 years old. I live in the U.S.A. I have been playing Poptropica since it came out. My names on Poptropica are Friendly Fire and DaVinci. I am an inventor, a champion speller and a national math champion. I’m half Indian and half Italian. I LOVE math, astronomy, and physics. I play squash and fencing. My I.Q. is..well…….I won’t say. But I’m a certified genius.

I am also a knowledge junkie, and I know many strange facts (Mt. Everest grows about 1/2 inch a year). I go on the PHB chat a lot, so you may have seen me there at least once. I hope you all will appreciate and respect me as much as you respect the others. Thanks to all my friends on the PHB (you know who you are) and especially, of course, the PHB staff – Hijuyo, Coderkid, Smockers, Green Seal, Codien, and Neat Whale. Go cheese!
