Fun in the sun – in November!

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and welcome to a quick little post of mine!

So it’s November. For those of you who live in the Northern Hemisphere, the air is crisp and the leaves are at their peak of their sunset coloring. The air’s getting colder, certain fashions and lattes are back in season, and it is a calm before the winter that’s slowly emerging.

So what is it a perfect time for? Going out to the park and enjoying the scenery? No, according to Poptropica, it’s the perfect time… for the beach!

Well, there are places in the world where it is fine time for the beach, whether it would be because it is mid-to-late spring for those in the Southern Hemisphere or if you live near the equator. In honor of these summer wishes, the Creators have released a new set of Store items!

As you can see, there are several new outfits (each worth 250 credits):

  • Tropic Beachware* 1 (boys) (*um, shouldn’t it be “beachwear“?)
  • Tropic Outfit 1 (girls)
  • Tropic Outfit 2 (girls)
  • Scuba Gear (boys & girls)

Plus, two new pets: a white terrier dog and a tabby cat; both worth a whopping 1000 credits, so if you want to get it, you’ll have to earn it! (Or become a member, I suppose.)

Thanks to Happy Lobster for the pic below:

There’s an additional item that is now available, but it’s for members only: the Spray Tan! card. This card will orange-ify any soul who’s standing next to you instantly! Perfect for those who miss their summer tans.

Not only are the stores getting summer-y, the Home Island also has their characters in the summer spirit with leis and grass skirts!

So, what do you think of this summer spirit in November? If you haven’t already, check it out on Poptropica now!

BT out!

Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here.

pmfm50-1year

That’s right! This week marks the 50th round of PMFM and just so happens to be the same week that Round 1 released last year (Technically, the anniversary is Nov 16, but this week is this year’s equivalent Monday). It’s been a long road since last year. It’s been a crazy 12 months for me, not only here in the community, but IRL, as well. Really, I’m so thankful to have all of you guys giving me support for this silly series. I just want to thank all of those who send in submissions, all of you who are kind enough to like or comment on PMFM posts, and just an overall thank you to all of the viewers of the series for sticking on so long. None of this would be possible without you guys. Anyways, I just had to give my little speech. On with the show! Welcome to round fifty of PMFM (Poptropican Meme Face Mondays)!

pmfm-round50

Want your own meme face?

Well, it’s simple. Comment on the most recent PMFM post (just choose the top one of the list, here). Be sure to follow the criteria below:

  • Very crucial: Wear the outfit you want to have in the meme face on Poptropica and keep it on for at least a week.
  • As mentioned, find the most recent PMFM post (it will be at the top of this list)
  • Include your Poptropican username in a comment.
  • Include the meme face you would like on your Poptropican in your comment (a link to an image of the meme is very preferred).
  • Post your comment and wait! (PMFM is operated on a first come-first serve basis, so your meme face will come after all of the ones before are released).
  • Just a note: You do not need to re-comment on newer posts if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Once I reply to your comment mentioning “You being added to the list,” then I have seen your comment and added it to my literal list, so yours will be made after each one before is made.

This completes round fifty of meme faces. Tune in next Monday for the next Poptropican Meme Face Mondays!

PHB Specials, Pop-over

PHB Pop-over Special: Yer a Poptropican, Harry!

Slanted Fish

harrypop

PHB Pop-over is back, and this time the crossover franchise is an old favorite: Harry Potter! You can check out past Pop-overs we’ve done here on the PHB in the Pop-over category here.

Harry Potter, for those who aren’t familiar (but really, who isn’t?), is a fantasy novel series written by J.K. Rowling, with eight films to complement the seven books. It’s about a young wizard, the titular Harry, and his adventures in the wizarding world. Highly recommended!

If you’re a fan, we hope you’ll enjoy these Poptropica costumes of various characters, of which many parts are costumizable (although some won’t be, but fear not, instructions await below).

For costumizable parts, just add the usernames shown in the picture above (or listed below) and use the Costumizer in your friends panel.

  • Harry Potter: HarryPotterPHB (bottom robe from girl in Astro-Knights barn – but Grim Reaper from the end of the Haunted House mini-quest is a possible substitute, pack ID is pmagic1 though MasterCapeASG offers a red cape, item ID for wand is sponsorwizwand3)
  • Ron Weasley: RonWeasleyPHB (black cape from *cloud*5, robe and wand same as Harry’s)
  • Hermione Granger: HermionePHB (hair from SlantedFishASG, book from everything173’s closet)

(Tools like iPop and MAP on our Glitching page make it easy to customize your character – plus our ASG page is full of rare costumes! These tools are especially handy for getting gender-restricted costume parts on either gender, as well as picking and choosing parts you want using IDs.)

My Place in Poptropica: Calm Flipper

2011 – 2013 | Poptropica Videos and Starting an Account

Back in 2011, I followed a really popular YouTuber who went by the name of Insiders Network. He was a gameplay commentator who would upload videos about Club Penguin, Webkinz, and Poptropica. I really loved his Poptropica videos, and they made me want to play as well.

So I created my first account, gregoryben10. I became hooked to the game, completing every island, day after night. It’s hard for me to recall the exact details, but I do remember that I had a hard time beating Skullduggery Island, so I quit for a couple of months.

In 2013, I thought of the game again and wanted to revisit it. So I grabbed my mom’s computer, and started typing in Poptropica’s web address in again. I tried to log in to my gregoryben10 account, but it didn’t work! I tried every password I could think of, but to no avail.

I looked at Poptropica’s troubleshooting page and it said that the account went poof if you left it dormant for 6+ months. (This is actually not true, but I didn’t know how to get my account back.) Anyway, I was pretty mad about that. Two years’ worth of play time on that account! I didn’t want to play Poptropica after that, but found myself doing it anyway.

2014 – 2015 | Hello, Calm Flipper!

In early 2014, I created a new account called gregoryben2, which is my current account. I looked back at Insiders Network on YouTube to find out that the same guy now went by the alias of Thinknoodles.

I soon wanted to buy Poptropica membership, and my mom let me! So I hopped on my new account, and played my first island on it, which was Ghost Story Island.

I played through most of the islands during this time, but something caught my interest. There was a fan website dedicated to Poptropica, which I thought would really help me get through some islands that I was stuck on. It was called the PHB. I scurried through the islands after that (with some left unfinished), and through browsing the PHB, I became an avid Poptropica fan (I was also a fan of Club Penguin at this time).

2016 – present | It’s Me Again!

I played through all of the new SUI islands, which I neglected back then because they were pretty laggy overall. After that I got pretty bored – that is, until I found the PHB Discord chat (the PHC), which I gladly joined, officially joining the Poptropica fan community!

I got a lot better with gaming in 2015, so I used my new skill to beat Skullduggery Island. Somehow I did it, beating the island which seemed so hard before. I beat the island which I had previously deemed impossible to beat. I looked down at my palms, (which were filled with sweat from a hard night’s worth of effort) and laughed. I laughed with glee, and joy, and all of those great emotions. I was happy.

If you guys want chat with me on Discord, my username is Gregoryk_, or Calm Flipper on the PHB. For those of you who want to add me as a friend on Poptropica, my username is gregoryben2. Thank you all, for making up this wonderful community!

So I guess that’s all! Hope you enjoyed my story!

Advertisements, Home Island

A Merry Moana Advertisement

LJ

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here, sharing with you, an amazing Moana ad and Home Island makeover!

As many of you have noticed, Home Island has been altered to fit the theme for the upcoming Disney movie, Moana. It sort of resembles the island that Moana lives on in the movie.

In celebration of this upcoming film, there is also an advertisement to go along with this transformation.

poptropica-disney-moana-ad

In the ad, you can play a really cool game that involves you Wayfinding on a raft in the ocean, which is what Moana and Maui do in the film if you’ve seen the trailer.

Your goal is to make it all the way to the finish line without hitting any of the obstacles, which include: rocks, seaweed, and even whirlpools, so watch out!

You have five lives, which are represented by five sailboats at the top of your game screen. The bar to the left tells you how far you’ve made it toward your destination. Once it’s completely green, you’ve finished. That and the finish line will be in hindsight. 😛

Upon completion of the game, you will receive some cool prizes! These prizes are Water Power and Hei Hei Hat, and here they are!

Poptropica Disney Moana Ad prize cards 1.png

Wait! There’s more to be done. This ad offers another fun game to earn another pair of awesome prizes!

The second game is a timed search. You’re required to find all of the parts to Moana’s boat in two minutes. It’s fairly simple as there are only four parts needed to be found. Just work your way up to the top of the Kakamora ship to find them.

moana-pop-ship-parts

Once all the parts have been found, you’ll receive Pua Follower and Water Burst.

The film premiers in theaters starting the 23rd of November in the US. Do you plan on seeing it? I think I’ll give it a try! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this ad and the prizes it has to offer. POP on!
