Winners & Updates!

January 12, 2010October 12, 2011 coderkid

Hey readers!

There’s PopToolz to address, new Creators’ blog posts, new side ads, and last but not least the WINNERS!!!…so lets hit it! XD

#1 – New Side Ads! – Credit to Johnny!

Check out these new side ads, advertising the upcoming movie, The Tooth Fairy. Interesting thing to note that it stars Dwayne Johnson, The Rock. OK I admit it – I used to watch WWW or WWE or whatever it was called… Don’t shoot me. And it wasn’t like I was a hardcode (lame joke I know) fan or anything…I was kinda forced to watch it. Don’t ask.

#2 – New Creators’ Blog post! – Credit to…well…me. XD

“Fish, my favorite kind of fountain…”

You’ll never believe what I saw on my adventures recently. A real fountain in the shape of a fish! Have I ever told you how much I love fish? I think I will like this new island a lot!

Are mermaids in Poptropica’s future? LOL.

#3 – PopToolz!

First of all, thanks for all the positive feedback about PopToolz! =D
Secondly, I just want to list the features coming in the next version:

Instant alerts on new Creators’ Blog posts
Instant alerts on new PHB posts
Fullscreen mode – when enabled, it allows you to play Poptropica in 100% full screen!
New keyboard shortcuts

And that’s pretty much it. If you have any feature suggestions, go ahead and post them in the comments!
You can download the current version here. Remember, it’s Firefox only. I’m also working on getting it reviewed & accepted by Mozilla…

#5 – An awesome game!

I wanted to tell you guys about an awesome new game I found – it’s called Wiglington and Wenks. Inside of Wiglington and Wenks, you can interact with other players, battle each other in “Balloon Warz”, throw and participate in parties, travel all over the world to places like Singapore, Madagascar, Australia, The Amazon Rainforest, and The Grand Canyon!

The main goal of the game, however, is to find and restore the memories of historical persons who have been accidentally placed in the present. Also, the evil Count Cannaregio has stolen Carto’s Magic Maps from Wiglington, who is the rightful owner of them. The Magic Maps are powerful tools, by which the barer can travel and see back and forth through time. Obviously, in the wrong hands things could go terribly awry.

So if it sounds like your type of game, go ahead and check it out! Hijuyo and I already have account there, called…well, Hijuyo and Coderkid. 😛 Here’s a screenshot of me hanging out in Wiglington Town.

See you there! 😉 Click here to sign up. Oh, I should also mention that in a few days I’ll be throwing a party there, so be sure to come! I’ll post about it on the PHF. Can’t wait to see you guys there! 🙂

Coderkid’s Colossal Contest!

CONTEST OVER
The contest has ended! Winners will be posted soon, and accounts sent. Good luck to all!

In this contest we’ll be giving away:

10 Poptropica Accounts with:
1100 Credits,
a custom name,
all advertisement cards (from new and old ads)!

But how do you cash in on this crazy contest? Simple. Just fill out this form, along with your answer to the question: “What’s the BIGGEST thing Poptropica could do to improve?” I’ll leave you to think on it!

If you’re looking for something that will increase your chances of winning, here’s some things that will help, sometimes DRASTICALLY.

Having a PHF account (include your username in the form)
Joining Lockerz. (links to a PHF thread)

So the things you’d need to include in your comments are:

Your email,
Your answer (to the question above),
The custom name you’d like your account to have,
and Optionally:
Your PHF account username,
The email you used to join Lockerz.

And as in every contest, here are the rules:

No cheating,
Use good grammar (xD),
and no double accounts/comments.

That’s it! Enjoy the contest! The contest ends Jan. 10, 2010! So hurry! Don’t miss out! And remember, be fair! Special thanks to Mr. French Dude (above) for sponsoring our contest! 🙂

EDIT:
I should clear some things up. I’m giving away 10 Poptropica accounts, meaning one account per winner. Also meaning 10 people will win. Just to clarify. 😉

Hopefully all of you were able to have a wonderful winter break – maybe you even took a relaxing vacation away from home! Before you start school again, be sure to…

Pop in to Issue #8!

^Yes! 2010’s first edition of the Poptropican’s 911 is out for your reading pleasure. Kick-start the new year with some never-before-seen Pop content! This is an issue you won’t want to miss!

Our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget to the right side has been updated! The current question asks, ”How long have you been playing Poptropica?” (Well, how long? Tell us by submitting your vote!)

December 2009’s poll question read, ”What do you think of the upcoming Counterfeit Island?” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Sounds like it’ll be the best one yet! | 842 | 47%
It should be fun to play. | 532 | 29%
Interesting, but the Poptropica Creators might cancel it again… | 290 | 16%
BO-RING! | 47 | 3%
What’s Counterfeit Island? | 99 | 5%

Total votes: 1,810
(*To those who voted on the third options – your doubts proved wrong!) xD

My Poptropica Help
You may have noticed that we have several different Poptropica Help communities (blog, forums, chatroom, etc.) We have now gathered them on one main homepage (with our own domain!), which can be found at…

http://poptropicahelp.tk

MPH (short for My Poptropica Help; not miles per hour, silly xD) groups our many Poptropica Help sites at one spot so browsing the web can be easier for you. We’ve also listed official Poptropica links, which bring you to places like the Creators’ Blog.

Also included are Poptropica Help Tools such as The Multiverse Project or the Poptropica Help Toolbar. Best of all, little icons and short descriptions relating to each link are there to guide you in choosing which utility YOU would like to use!

After all, it is called My Poptropica Help. In fact, if MPH has really helped you, don’t forget to help spread the word with one of our banners! We hope each and every Poptropica link is a good one for you.
