Weird Title Contest!

Hello my little comets! Yep, that title is weird, but I like making weird titles! So, in honor of weird titles and how fun they are, I've decided to host a contest. The contest will end on July 2nd. (Nebula's birthday!) Here are the rules of the contest:

Goal: Make the weirdest blog post title that you can, but it can't be:

• Inappropriate.
• Disturbing in any way. (Nothing really weird, or else I will remove your comment.)
• Insulting to pancakes. (Haha, just kidding! Do whatever you want with your weird title, as long as it's appropriate.) :)

It can be:

• Silly! (The sillier, the better.)
• Long, but it must be under 20 words. 
• Only one word. (Though I don't recommend this, you could try it if you want.)

I will be judging on creativity and humor.

The winner will receive:

To enter, please comment your weird title and your username. You don't have to enter your member status, since I have to trade you regardless since I am non-member. :3

Also: NO STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S WEIRD TITLES! I will know whether you stole it or not, so don't even try. (Unless your idea accidentally slightly overlaps someone else's, that might be okay as long as it isn't word-for-word the exact same.)

And, as a bonus, all participants' weird titles will be used as my blog post titles once! Each participant's weird title will not be used in any particular order. 8D

Have fun! I'm looking forward to reading your titles. c:

Moving on, here is me being weird (there are just too many 'weirds' in this post):

My poor buddy's post might have been abused slightly by my wolf sitting on it. But only slightly, trust me!

Also, here's another jammer from the beta days:

It's always really cool to see jammers like this. I think it would be nice if Animal Jam made secret items that were non-member but then turned into member items (like the raccoon topiary, though I'm not particularly happy about that one). Eh, it doesn't sound really that cool since once you got your paws on the item you wouldn't be able to wear it or put it in your den. XD

And, last but not least!

Why did I have to get 3 diamonds in the daily spin when I became NON-MEMBER!? This exact same thing happened to me last year, the minute I became non-member I earned 3 gems in the daily spin. Oh, Animal Jam, sometimes you can be such a troll. :P

Whoa, I just realized that I have a lot of gems. I guess I recycle a lot of stuff often. O_O

Have a great day and happy weird title-making!

Crystal Den Pictures

Hello my little comets! I managed to sneak to my friend SuzyCupcake's den and take some screenshots of her den, the crystal den. It is a very pretty den, and it's pretty amazing. It's also HUGE. It feels sort of like some adventure base camp or something, it doesn't even feel like a den. Holy cow.

Here are some screenshots of it:

Aren't the statues to along the rim gorgeous? I especially love the center fountain. It is a very beautiful den, I just don't like how big it is. XD

(Big thanks to SuzyCupcake again for being my buddy and allowing me to visit her pawsome den.)

With this new update comes new glowing features when you edit your den:

It's kind of weird that the outer rim of your items glow. I am definitely not used to that, and it's pretty distracting. I wonder why AJHQ decided to do that all of a sudden? Maybe the new crystal den makes all things sparkly. owo

Anywhoozies, that's all to post for today. See you around! :)

Thomas Edison Plaque!

Hiya my little comets! Are you at least a little curious about the title? Good, because I'm going to make you wait until the end of the post to read about it. (Hehe, I am so evil, but then again, if you didn't want to bother with the rest of the post you could just scroll down and read the end.) 8D

Anywhoozies, look at what I got in the Daily Spin today!

The gifts that I got were mech angel wings and a neck wreath thing. Coolio! It's interesting that you can get prizes based on how many days you come on. Good job on luring jammers to come on every day, AJHQ! ;)

Moving forward, did you notice that the door to the Medical Center swings open?

Isn't that interesting? I swear, I never saw that before. Maybe Animal Jam incorporated a swinging door later. If you look closely at it, it looks sort of grainy. That's usually what happens when Animal Jam posts gifs. It takes on this sort of grainy quality. I wonder if the swinging door is some sort of animation gif that Animal Jam uses? :3

I was laughing really hard earlier with some of my friends; Lemo, Confection (aka Comfy/Misstess, she came back!), and a new jammer, Blossom Shylady, though I forgot her username. ^^;

We were talking about food, but then somehow, we touched on the topic of the Thomas Edison plaque! This is basically the gist of it: We think that it would be great if Animal Jam hosted IDEA contests. To put it simply, Animal Jam makes a post on DE about what things we'd like to see throughout Jamaa, and whoever posts an idea that AJHQ most likes wins a plaque with a lightbulb on it, or a Thomas Edison plaque!

It's kind of a combination of an accessory contest and the question mark things that you see throughout Jamaa, but instead, you can do any idea, like: new animals, new items, (I myself would suggest a chocolate fountain), or any activities/holidays that you think should be added to Jamaa!

And, of course, the coolest prize is that your idea would actually come to the game. =^.^=

But guess what? Comfy said that I won the first contest for coming up with the idea of an idea contest. (Though she helped, so we should both get Thomas Edison plaques.) XD

Have a wonderful day,
~Comet

Non-memberness & Parties

Haillo my little comets! I am so sorry for not posting in forever, I had camp this week. It was a lot of fun. Anywhoozies, would you lookie here:

Yep, I'm non-member! It's actually surprisingly a little more fun. Being a member for so long kind of made me overwhelmed. Yes, members get lots of privileges, but being a non-member really helps bring out a creative side in you. I'm trying really hard to make my den look as nice as possible, and with non-member items, it can get a little tricky.

Even now I'm still working on designing my den. XD

If any of you guys have or know anyone who has blue rose garlands (the more faded blue, not the bright blue), please let me know! I'd be happy to offer for them. :)

Next up, look at this jammers:

This jammer, reedles, has a milky-colored tiara with a PURPLE GEM. (My friend told me his username, but I will not name her due to anonymous reasons.) Isn't that interesting? Who knew that someone could get a tiara like that? How did he get it?

Speaking of weird stuff and weird colors, look at this:

This jammer (who is also my friend) has odd colors of items! As you know, the lassos only come in dark brown, pink, and blue, but she has orange and purple. My guess is that these are like the glitched rings, they were originally colors but then later removed from the game. Odd, eh?

As for the elf shoes, the ones on the top right are the original ones, but the ones on the bottom left are a glitched color!

How are people getting this stuff? It's very interesting.

Also, the buddy jam-a-grams have changed:

(Big thanks to infinity670 for buddying my storage so that I figured this out!) XD

And, last but not least:

At Gamer_girl's blog, she gave special shout-outs to a few jammers. One of them was me, and she said the sweetest things and wrote the most heartwarming poem. Thank you, gamer. I will miss you and everybody else. c:

One more announcement:

Near the end of the year, I will host a smaller, good-bye party. It won't be with everyone, but just a lot of you guys who have supported my blog and close buddies. This party won't be a party for tears, but it will be a celebration! I will celebrate meeting you and getting to know you all...

...and you might get to hear me give a farewell speech, too, if you come to the party. (Yep, me and my failed speech skills.) Anyways, I'll elaborate on it more later. I just need to brainstorm a bit more.

And, one comment question of the day:

Should I write an autobiography about my Animal Jam life? (It will start from when I first arrived to when I met you guys during blogging, and to where I am now.)

Have a great rest of the day!

Goodbye Rares!

Hiya my little comets! As you have heard, the new eagle adventure (The Forgotten Desert), hands out beta-big-rares as their prize! Awesome, right!? That means that there will be less scamming, hacking, etc., since now the status of 'rares' are gone. At least, sort of.

The only problem is the fact that people might potentially quit, or become less interested in the game because of the lack of 'rarity.' D:

First off, if you wear a spider mask and sleep as a fox, it looks weird...

I'm just a spider, nothing more! XD

Also, there are new den portals that link to your buddies' dens! Epic, eh?

I really like how you can personalize the portals! It's too bad that they're all for members. I hope AJHQ releases non-member den portals, but they most likely won't. Eurgh, why do non-members not get as many rights as they used to? I wish that they could be given another adventure to play. DX

Speaking of the adventure, here are some pictures of the 'Forgotten Desert:'

When my buddies and I did the adventure together, we got a cami's frog!

Aw, I love that frog, it's so cute and has such a sweet story behind its making. <3

Also, I have come to another conclusion! The adventure also gives out unreleased items. Look at this person and the bow they're wearing:

That bow is unrare and uncommon. There was only one in existence, and they were treated like the magenta bows before they came out. A special jammer would receive a bow, and it was super cool! I think the adventure is giving out these bows, too, because:

I found several people with these bows! Cool! So the unreleased items that people lied for are also being released. Those 'unreleased' items are safe, guys. I traded for a couple and they don't do anything to your account. AJHQ intended for these to be in the game. :3

Look at this unreleased item!

(I really would like this Mira statue, it's like the Animal Jam Soul and Star mascot! For some reason I can see it appearing in Epic Wonders in the future...)

What other items have you been seeing around Jamaa?

See you around,
~Comet

New Daily Explorer & Info!

Hello my little comets! I forgot to mention this earlier, but there is a new Daily Explorer blog!

The blog features lovely art and unique stories for each alpha, posts that are written by the alphas themselves, and an 'easy-on-the-eyes' layout. I feel that AJHQ is slightly altering their art, but not in a bad way! Their new art style is definitely very pretty. Me gusta. x3

Anyways, you can check out the rest yourself at the new blog.

Today, I was doing some more research into the unreleased items. It turns out that Animal Jam truly is giving these items back because they want to be kind to jammers. These items actually aren't a hack, which is pretty crazy!

This is a video that I'm using for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhnGBZqCtnk

Here's another jammer with unreleased pigtails:

The weird thing is, lots of people have been asking me to offer for their items, but they don't look that cool since they're everywhere. I don't understand why people are doing this if it's going to make the item's rarity go down. I'm pretty sure that they will go down; the more common the items are, the less rare they will be.

This means that all betas are not going to be worth as much, which, in all honesty, may be actually pretty good! I'm not going to rant on and on about this, so I'll just go on. XD

Moving onward, look at the sweet message that I got the other day!

Nice people always make me happy. :)

By the way, the new buddy request jam-a-grams are pretty cute!

I like the arctic wolf! Finally:

This is the most that I've ever seen readers online! Woohoo! Yippee! I need to host some sort of 'Followers' party because this blog has 23 followers already. The question is, when? I'll still try to organize the details (it might be next weekend.) Well, whenever it is, thank you all so much for supporting the blog! <3

Ciao!

Suspicious Hacks

Hello my little comets! I'm sorry for not posting in a while (though it technically has been a week, right?) I post weekly-ish, I guess. I know, I know, I should post more often, but it's nearly impossible during the weekdays. My apologies. Anywhoozies, before I get to the main topic of this post, I need your opinion on a very (not) important matter!

Which looks better in my Sol Arcade Den?

Or:

Your opinion is greatly appreciated! c:

Next bit of information:

AJHQ did a lot of cool glitch fixes in this update, but one of the weirdest is the fact that now, long usernames are shrunken down! Weird. It's going to take me a while to get used to that. Boy, now I'm really glad that my username was changed, or else my old username would've definitely been shrunk. (Yep, I'm OCD like that.)

There's also the handy-dandy doorbell function!

Too bad that I didn't get to hear the sound. 

Also, whenever you lock or unlock your den, a nice message appears:

Hmm, muy interesante! Yes, Spanish is fun. :3

Now, to get to the heart of the post. (I also posted a similar topic like this on the Rise Against the Hackers, if you'd like to check it out.) Lately, there have been lots of jammers with unreleased items:

Ahem.

You know, people with unreleased items like white gazelles, green gazelles, orange gazelles, white pigtails, orange pigtails, black mechs, etc. Well, I found out that somehow they're hacking it from AJHQ themselves! Apparently people are saying that these jammers are telling Animal Jam they 'lost' these items by getting hacked/scammed, and AJHQ just sends those items to them!

Not believable, but this video changed my mind a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RWTP2o9gtY

Well, truly these items were probably hacked from AJHQ. I really doubt that AJHQ is that dim-witted to fall for such lies. It angers me to see people go to such lengths to get some items, though! I mean, 'To the Jammers Getting the Weird Items: You do realize that you're messing with a bunch of people who know how to code and invented this whole game, right? You're also probably messing with the law by messing with this website. Hacking a website is illegal...you're probably going to get your I.P. address banned by AJHQ. And this is all for what? Some unreleased items that look less cool because everyone has them?"

Fishy. Suspicious. It also angers me, too. I feel bad for AJHQ because this situation is just bad and...blergh.

Okay, off of that little (not) rant. Next up is a to-do list that I have in order to get organized.

1.) Make more KM banners.

2.) Make a Color Charity banner.

3.) Work on NebulaNight's Art Trade drawing.

4.) Work on blog (possibly?) more.

I'm off! See you around!
