What’s a lumberjerk?

Shaggy Tornado

Since it’s St. Patricks Day on March 17th, let’s get into the spirit of St. Patricks Day with this green colored font! So, what the heck is a lumberjerk you ask? Only the creators know as they released the info page for the new island, Twisted Thicket!! will it answer your questions? (Taken from the blog and info page)

  • What’s the storyline?

A quiet seaside village has been attacked by mysterious beings that dwell nearby. You are chosen to enter the dark woods and confront the creatures. But beyond the forest’s edge lies a world of magic and danger, where the only thing more twisted than the tree trunks is the truth.

  • What are some awesome bonuses for Members?

Poptropica Members can play a bonus quest after completing Twisted Thicket. The woodland’s magical essence has scattered across the land. It’s up to you to use your newfound powers to collect the missing shards and return them to their source. Not a Member? Find out how to get Membership now!

There’s also some bonus prizes for Members too!

  1. Dryad Follower
  2. Troll (Special power to turn people to stone!)
  3. What the heck is a “Lumberjerk“? Only available during Early Access!

A lumberjerk is a tree cutter?! Isn’t that a LUMBERJACK?! OR maybe they’re jerks for cutting down the trees? What do you think? Release date to follow! Also, wallpapers are available for download on the info page! 😀

We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Twisted Thicket!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r5KOLUHrGs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Twisted Thicket is a journey into the heart of an enchanted forest. Who knows what dangers await? We’ll have much more information about this new adventure soon!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Twithed Thicket Island, huh? Or is there no “Island” after the name like you did with Mystery Train. Looks like this island will feature fairies, gnomes, a Nøkken, and a town and wood. Maybe we’ll encounter more woodland whimsical creatures.

In the meantime, the Creators also gave us PIE costumes! For PI day!

3.14… well, I forgot the rest although the picture is above me…

Oh well, BT out! I’m gonna practice saying Twisted Thicket.

Comics, Daily Pop, Sneak Peeks

Cannonballs, Comics, Dryads, Vespers, and Ads.

Edits made below.

Well, basically, the title sums up what I want to talk about 😛 Here we go!

1. Cannonballs

The Creators on Monday posted a what-should-be-familiar-to-Members scene from Vampire’s Curse!

"Look at that! Someone shot a cannonball through my roof!"

Must be some bad neighbors, huh? Unless it was you who shot that… *whistles awkwardly*

Speaking of Vamp’s Curse… If you need a walkthrough, check out Super Thunder and Brave Tomato’s walkthrough! (They’ve sent it in to the PHB, and it will be up soon!) http://itsapoptropicablog.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/vampires-curse-walkthrough-part/#more-3809

2. Comics

On Wednesday, the Creators did a reminder post about the comics in the Daily Pop.

Believe it or not, there was a time when the daily newspaper had pages and pages devoted to comic strips. I know what you’re thinking: “What’s a daily newspaper?”

Used to be that somebody brought a stack of folded papers to your house every day early in the morning, which had all this information about news and sports and things that had already happened, and to read it you had to turn the pages instead of swiping a screen, and — well, it’s not important.

Anyway, we at Poptropica still think that the funny pages are worth your time and attention. That’s why, for some time now, we’ve been publishing some of the very best comic strips in the Daily Pop.

Make sure to check it out (again)! My personal favorite is Peanuts! 😀

3. Dryads

What you might be thinking: ” What dryads?”

What I’m saying: The ones that are involved in the new island in some way! On Thursday, the Creators posted up a picture of this unique creature:

How do you know it’s a dryad? Look at the original link, and it says dryad in the link! So what do you think this little guy has to do in the plot? Leave your suggestions in the comments!!

4. Vespers!

Who’s familiar with The 39 Clues series? It’s a brother(Dan) and sister (Amy) who discover that they are part of the biggest family of history with a secret! They go around the world in search of the 39 clues, which, when mixed together, uncover a treasure! The series went up to 11 books, with a companion book. Now, in this sequel series, Cahills vs. Vespers, six of their own have been kidnapped, and it’s up to Amy and Dan to rescue them by doing tasks for a mysterious fellow known as Vesper 1. The card that you will receive is about the 3rd installment of this series: The Dead of Night! I highly suggest that you read it! I myself will be getting it on Saturday! 😛

Last but not least…

5. Ads

A new ad has stopped by the Poptropica world! Goldfish: Team Xtreme!

Basically, what you do is shoot hoops, and at the end you get a basketball!

[EDITS START HERE]

Here’s LS with a video walkthrough:

Another ad is also on Poptropica called Dizzy Dancers (credit to Scary Catfish for the info and pic!)

"All you need to do to complete the ad is walk in and click the photo booth. This will take you to an area where you can design your own Dizzy Dancer. After you finish designing it, you receive two items… A “Dragaloo Follower” (What a lovely name…) and Dizzy Dancer hair for your Poptropican. A sign inside the ad says that you can come back March 19 for a special quest.." ~ Scary Catfish

March 19? Don’t they usually put the quest in when they put the ad in? Hmm…

Also, there’s some new things in the store for St. Patricks day coming this Saturday! They are a leprechaun costume and Shamrock Gum! (Thanks Lewis for the info and Flamez for the Goldfish and store item pics!)

So, until your next post, this is ST logging off! 🙂

Curse time!

Shaggy Tornado

In case you’ve been hiding out and avoiding the sunlight, Vampire’s Curse Island is OUT! Non-members get a demo, and Members get a special bonus quest! They added in two extras for all. First, they gave us a Vamp Curse wallpaper!

And second of all, a free downloadable poster! 😀 Link is below, because it’s too big to post here:

They also updated the homepage with vampire fangs! Also included below are Vamp Curse related ads. (Thanks Flamez!)

Here’s a random sheep from VC and some scenes:

Have you heard that Poptropica is now at Applebee’s?

Now, when your family dines at your neighborhood Applebee’s restaurant, you’ll get a Poptropica activity book full of games and puzzles starring your favorite Poptropica characters.

These activity books will be there until May 7 in North America! So go persuade your parents to eat at Applebee’s today! 🙂

Your new island pack

elmopwns

Can’t wait for Vampire’s Curse Island? The creators won’t just let us sit the last remaining days of the countdown in our chairs doing nothing but watching that clock. Your new Island pack/gear is here. Of course, all of these (needless to say) our members only gold items. So if you’re a member, you can directly recieve such gear for free.

Go ahead, activate some of that garlic 😀 and perhaps release some odor that will drive away vampires perhaps. Chew on some vampire bat gum and release a swarm of spooky cratures. Or dress up as a count. One can never have too much fun with store items.

Again, all of these are free to members. Have fun out there, guys. RD dashin off.
