Spy Phone message from Dot

We have a new Spy Phone message!
Lots of strange characters around the island... Agents, go undercover in a one-eyed mask or furry monster suit and see what intel you can dig up.
I think they're supporting a recent movie, Dot. But that's just a guess. :P

My Thoughts: Club Penguin MU Takeover (and walkthrough)

Alright, alright. Let's do the walkthrough first. So, here is a shop, where you can buy items with your points (which I'll get on to later). There will be new items each week.
 Here is the stadium area of the campus which I believe you can get to from the Snow Forts.
 Here is the main campus, which can be found by walking to the archway on the left in the last room I showed you.
 Here is the dark and spooky Scaring Program room!
 Here is the Town, just another decorated room :)
 Here is the Coffee Shop, that looks very monstrous!
 Here is the Plaza. Ooh, that Puffle has fangs!!
 Oh yeah, this is the perfect hangout spot for all the cool kids. It was the Pizza Parlor, but now it's called , "The Growl"!
 Here is the Scare Games team selection. Everybody can get a free colored hat for whatever team they join. I chose to join team PNK.
 Here is what it looks like when you are in the Scare Games. You have to go over obstacles, and make sure that the mechanical penguin doesn't wake up. The bar below the penguin shows how long before they wake up, so be quick!!
 So, for doing that, you can earn points. The points can get you those items, or just save them up for your team! On July 6th we will figure out which team wins. So far OK is first, then ROR, then PNK, and last but not least, JOX. I wanted to help PNK first of all because pink is my favorite color, and second of all, they aren't doing so well, so I want to give them a hand :)
Above this text are six new emotes. That's a lot! If you use the emote with the scary face next to a penguin, it will get you a point!

Now, on to the "My Thoughts" part. This is a really cool party. I love the fact that there are 6 new emotes, as there are usually just 3. I love the way the Scare Games work, but there's just one thing with that. I've seen the movie, and I don't want to spoil anything, but that is not the only thing they do in the Scare Games, so they could have made it a little more like the movie. I also like the fact that you can switch teams at any time, if you decide another team looks better. I also love that the catalog items change each week, because if they didn't then it would be the same old party every single day, with no changes. There was actually one place I forgot to show you, which was the houses for the teams, but you can check that out for yourself :) I would give this party 4 and a half stars. Coming from me, that's VERY good. Now let's go and scare!
P.S. Me and Ocean6100 aren't just on our own teams, we are also on a team together called team Imagineers!

Club Penguin Times issue #401

Here's issue #401 of the Club Penguin Times. :)


LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Teams compete in the first ever Club Penguin Scare Games.

By the Greek Council - The first ever Scare Games in Club Penguin have commenced and monsters are choosing their team! We headed over to the center of the action - the amphitheater, off the Campus Quad!

Scarers are lining up to earn scare points and compete for first place. We interrupted a squad of large-horned monsters doing scare lunges, thumping-jacks, and roar-ups. "I'm so excited, I'm scaring myself!" One JOX exclaimed. "But can't talk right now. 5 more reps."

A bookish scareonomics student, watching the action explained the science behind the scare. "They're getting ready for the Scare Challenge. They need super light feet for the sneak, aerodynamic silence, and massive volume for the finish." Great to see so many monsters out for the games! It all seems to be running spectacularly smoothly.

The Scare Games end July 9, so give it your all, and keep your eye - or eyes - on the trophy!


NEWSFLASH

Unexpected snowball fights are on the rise in Club Penguin. No cause for alarm.
-Gary the Gadget Guy.


TEAM TRY-OTUS!
Four teams. Four scare styles. Which is yours?

Having trouble choosing a fraternity or sorority? Head over to the Fraternity Row, just off the forts. You'll find four fur-raising houses to choose from. To make the most of your scream, pick the house that best suits you!

If you've got a big heart, but need a bit of help working on that scare - rush OK. There's a place for everyone at this fraternity! Think you've got mad scare skills? Or like to hang with the best? Then ROR wants you! JOX are on the look out for the loudest and craziest scarers! And if you do whatever it takes to win, you'll definitely make the cut!

If you hide your scare behind a charming smile AND got the scariness to back it up, then pledge PNK. These houses need your best scares. So what are you waiting for? Let's get scaring monsters!

Club Penguin Memories by Woddylan

  • Back then, some things were rare. But then one time, they brought them back to show to new players
  • Back then, parties lasted for a short time
  • Back then, they had a different beak drawing technique
  • Back then, Trainman1405 had started
  • Back then, Club Penguin blogs were simple
  • Back then, people weren't using the virtual world idea to their own advantage
  • Back then, there was only a slight amount of rooms
  • Back then, there was no advertising 
  • Back then, they had a skull emote
  • Back then, Lebron Jr 23 became one of the most legendary bloggers about it
  • Back then, Billybob and Businesmoose worked there
  • Back then, there was a wig catalog
  • Back then, the moderators for it didn't have Twitter accounts for the account
But now, everything has changed.

Woddylan's Club Penguin Stories: The Last Survivor

So, as some of you may know, I wrote a CP story called "The Last Survivor". There were two stories - The Last Survivor, and The Last Survivor II, so here is them both mashed together :)

 It was Club Penguin's 9085th anniversary. Though there was no celebration. All the penguins were experiencing dark times. Herbert had become way overpowered with his minions and bots, more than half the EPF had been lost in the oceans. Herbert had blown up Swashbuckler Trading Post, Dinosaur Island, and Shipwreck Island. and he made the Iceberg his base. He was SUPER over-powered. He even stole one of Gary's machines that could control the weather. He knew that all the penguins were on Club Penguin Island, though, because Rockhopper had been lost at sea, and so the penguins had no way of getting transported there. One day Gary had his weather tracker on, and suddenly the lights went off. There was a screen in the air in front of everybody (including Gary) in which there was a picture of Herbert. He said the words, "YOU PENGUINS HAVE DEFEATED ME COUNTLESS TIMES. MY PLANS HAVE FAILED. BUT NOW, I WILL RULE CLUB PENGUIN FOREVER!!!". Then, suddenly, the screen disappeared and the power came back on. The weather tracker had sensed a huge tornado coming. So Gary sent out one of his top assistants, Woddylan, to go lead everybody underground, where safety would lie.
Everybody had noticed before they got underground that there were high indestructible walls surrounding them, so they couldn't swim away. Some people went underground, but some wouldn't listen. They finally got underground. Suddenly the boiler leaked, and it started to flood the underground. And the ceiling was cracking. Hundreds of penguins drowned. So the survivors quickly ran to the mines. Herbert and his minions, though, were trying to chase the survivors, but they drowned, also. The ground fell into the underground at that moment, and everybody got squished except Woddylan. Many people also got sucked in to the tornado.
Woddylan knew that this was the end. He got sucked into the tornado, too, but he was powerful enough to make his way out. Then the tornado went away, and the weather was fine. The only igloo or building that was still standing was Woddylan's cottage. That was because it was on it's own little island near the Iceberg. It turns out those walls around Club Penguin weren't actually indestructible, they just looked like it. It was just wrapping paper being held up by weak stands. Woddylan got his compass out, and he went towards his cottage. He kicked the wall down, and his boat was destroyed, so he just swam to the cottage. Woddylan, now that he had thought about it, realized that he was the last living penguin. He said the words,

But about 5 minutes after he said that, he heard somebody or something kicking his door down...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woddylan was just sitting there, on his sofa, scared to death. He knew and had proof that he really was the last person to stay living. He had tons of thoughts in his mind. Woddylan had to do something though, the door was almost broken. He kept thinking, when suddenly the door came down! Behind it was a huge evil-looking monster, one that looked like it was from another universe. Although, Woddylan didn't know the fact that the monster was man-made. He kept thinking, when the monster said, "Hello. I am the Monster of the Living. My master was Herbert, but he got flooded away in his own storm. He created me as a backup, if this thing happened. My master was prepared for the apocalypse." And so Woddylan asked a few obvious questions - "Are you here to kill me? How did you stay alive? Do you like cheese? What is your name?" And then the monster said "I don't know what this 'cheese' you speak of is. How about we eat some together while I answer your other questions." So Woddylan got some cheese and some cookies and milk, and they sat down together in the cozy little cottage. They had a nice conversation.

       "My name is DeathBot. I survived, because Herbert put me in a far away island, and set up some mechanics that would teleport me to the island after the storm and destruction. I was created to kill every last one of you, but since Herbert is gone, I am not listening to him. I am re-naming myself FriendBot. I will help you with all your adventures, and WOW - this cheese tastes amazing!!"

        "Well, it's very good that you are turning away from the dark side, now that you are good, we can be friends! You can even move in with me!"

And they lived happily ever after... until the next month...



    Now after you read that, you're probably thinking, well that's a horrible ending! Well, here is my hint to you - there will be more stories for this, it just won't be called "The Last Survivor" anymore...

Club Penguin partners with GeoPalz

Recently KidsWire released an article talking about Club Penguin's new partnership with GeoPalz. Check it out.
GeoPalz, an interactive gaming and rewards platform for kids and families, has partnered with Disney’s Club Penguin to develop of a wearable Club Penguin iBitz activity tracker. 
Using the Club Penguin-branded iBitz pedometer, Club Penguin players will be able to convert their athletic activity into virtual coins and exclusive content within the Club Penguin world. The Club Penguin iBitz activity tracker will be available for purchase in fall 2013. 
“By connecting the GeoPalz Eco-System of activity driven games, rewards and prizes with one of the largest communities for kids, we hope to encourage millions more families to be active,” said Rich Schmelzer, CEO of GeoPalz. “It has been inspiring to work with Nike and Disney the past few months to bring together fitness activities that kids will love.” 
Vice President and General Manager of Disney Interactive Worlds, Chris Heatherly, added, “By rewarding kids for being active in the real world, we are encouraging a healthy balance between screen time and active time. He continued, “When kids see their friends with exclusive rewards they can only get for being active, we hope it will inspire them to get active too.” 
To develop this new product, GeoPalz has been a part of the Nike+ Accelerator Program for the past 90 days to develop broader techniques to convert athletic activity into digital coins that unlock games, content, and rewards.
As for me, I hope I can get one of these. These sound really fun, and you know how I am for exclusive items. ;) I'm excited!

Woddylan's Club Penguin Stories: The Last Survivor

Introduction
Some of you may have known this, but I enjoy writing long Club Penguin related stories. They are so long, that usually I put them into parts! This is going to be a short story, though. This is called, "The Last Survivor". This story is under the category "Drama" and "Action".


    It was Club Penguin's 9085th anniversary. Though there was no celebration. All the penguins were experiencing dark times. Herbert had become way overpowered with his minions and bots, more than half the EPF had been lost in the oceans. Herbert had blown up Swashbuckler Trading Post, Dinosaur Island, and Shipwreck Island. and he made the Iceberg his base. He was SUPER over-powered. He even stole one of Gary's machines that could control the weather.

Spike teases Club Penguin YouTube show

A few minutes ago Spike Hike tweeted talking about a new YouTube show. Check it out.
I would love to see a Club Penguin YouTube show. That would be awesome. :) I would like to see some interviews with some Club Penguin employees, maybe some sneak peeks, some penguin animation... I don't now. This has so much potential.

Spike Hike sneaks some random bits of info

Last night on his Twitter Spike Hike was tweeting some random stuff, having no real rhyme or reason. Check them out:
So this tweet tells us that they've already got August's party planned. It's likely another advertisement party, so for those who get greatly affected by that, be ready. ;) I'm thinking it will have something to do with Ross Lynch, possibly Austin and Ally, judging from this picture from @Hallie4GO.


The next one concerns this year's Medieval Party.

 Is this a hint meaning that there's going to be a Medieval Party later this year? It'll be awful late. >.<

One more. He also said that Spike Saturday was being moved to Spike Sunday. Normal stuff, you know.
