Hey guys, Hicoga here.

Captain Crawfish made a new post to give you Poptropica members a helpful hint to let you beat some cowboys at sharpshootin’. And for the record, no, I’m not nomming him.

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: Reload!

A lot of Poptropica Members are getting ready to journey to Wild West Island this weekend. Wild West Island is one of our most varied adventures to date, with a lot of different mini-games to enjoy. Here’s a quick tip that should help you get through one of them, the shooting contest, with flying colors.

Whether you’re using the pea shooter or the spud gun, you’ll have five shots available before you have to reload (by pressing that big ol’ button at the top of the screen). So watch how many shots you have left. If you don’t, you’ll still get a helpful reminder that you need to reload once you’ve run out.

But here’s the trick: Sometimes, it makes more sense to reload before you’re out of ammo. If your opponent is looking at some targets that have already been hit, take the opportunity to reload, even if you’ve only fired a shot or two. That way, when you find a batch of new targets, you’ll have all the ammo you need. You won’t have to waste valuable time reloading while your opponent shoots them out from in front of you.

Captain Crawfish 23-What an odd title.
EL4-It’ll make sense. WATSON!
Watson-HELLO EVERYBODY.
Black Widow 2-He’s a robot?
EL4-Ignore that. Hi! Black Widow, what brings you here?
Black Widow 2-  I’m here to warn the law-abiding citizens of Poptropica about the Rattlesnake Wrangler. Here’s the complete memo:

Who is the rattlesnake wrangler?

There’s a new costume floating around out there. You can’t buy it in the Poptropica Store. You can’t costumize it from another character. But you can find it somewhere on Wild West Island.

Have any of you cowpokes found the Rattlesnake Wrangler costume yet?

BLACK WIDOW 2 [RIP]

EL4-Where’d she go?
Captain Crawfish 24-You ate her. And my cousin too.
EL4-BURP.  🙂
Watson-HUMANS ARE NICE.
EL4- I know, right?
Captain Crawfish 24-WEEE!
Black Widow 3-Isn’t the robot just too kind? 🙂
EL4-So much crawfish… *noms on Captain Crawfish 24*
Captain Crawfish 25-Looks like I’m just in time, then. That was to speed things up.
Watson-UNLIKE YOU TRYING TO RELEASE WILD WEST ISLAND ON MARCH 14.
Black Widow 3- Yeah! And I bet EL4 is a member!
EL4-Uhh…see?..
Watson-DELICIOUS EL. *noms EL4*
Captain Crawfish 25-I thought he was poisonous…
Watson-NOT FOR ROBOTS, SUCKER.
Black Widow 3-Hey, Watson, can you be my bodyguard?
Watson-AFTER THESE MESSAGES BY THE DAILY POP.

• JEWEL IN THE ROUGH
• EARLIEST POPTROPICA
• TONGUE TIED
• EVERYBODY WINS
• MIND THE GAP
• DESERT INN
• BRIDGE WORK
• FAST MART
• LORD OF THE RING
• LOOKING UP

YEAH, SO LIKE, MAKE SURE YOU GET A GOOD LOOK AT THEM SNEAKY PICS.
Black Widow 3-Forget it. I just realized you’re ugly.  *noms self to escape ugliness*
Watson-*cries till fries and dies*

For those who think the rattlesnake costume is a myth…

EL3- You killed my cousins. Prepare to DIE.
Captain Crawfish 20- That’s not even a cowboy remark.
EL3- Let’s eat with a side of post, shall we?
Captain Crawfish 20- French remark!
EL3- Oh come on, just get on with the post! The first 10 members to finish Wild West Island deserve a spotlight more than you right now!
Captain Crawfish: Fine. :c *unrolls huge banner with cool Poptropican faces*

Congratulations to the first 10 finishers of Wild West Island!

The first Poptropica Members have galloped across the finish line of Wild West Island. Let’s hear it for the first 10 players to earn their medallions! Congratulations to…

Captain Crawfish 20- In case you’re wondering where EL3 is, he’s passing through my gallbladder dissolved by my acids.
EL3- Did I mention my kind was poisonous?
Captian Crawfish 20- *falls and dies*
EL3- *rips out of CC20* I’m still alive!

(Hours later EL3 was shot with a spud gun and served with a side of peas. He will be missed.)

At least, that’s what the paid members of Poptropica are probably yelling gleefully as they start logging in to play the newest island that just came out. Yup, that’s right, Wild West Island just came out.

Just for members, of course. -_- That leaves the rest of us sitting here sadly waiting for that glorious day when we nonmembers can too join them on the wild adventure to bring Grande’s gang to justice. That would be March 14, 2011 for non-members, according to the in-game Map. (thanks, Neat Turtle!) That’s also Pi Day, for you math nerds. 😉

Hopefully, we’ll have our video and written walkthrough guides up on our Wild West Island help page soon. Any help is appreciated, just comment on this post! 🙂
