Back and Worse - The Fortnightly Penguin

The Fortnightly Penguin  

Edited by Panguin32

Welcome to The Fortnightly Penguin. You're probably surprised at the name, now you are asking "What happened to the Weekly Penguin, Panguin?" 

So I'll be honest with you. Due to my really busy schedule etc, like, babysitting my siblings, and also I'm in middle school plus I'm 11 years old. I mean... I just turned 11. On the 22nd of September. No lie.

So I need to change the schedule a bit, so here's the solution of this problem.. (Ugh this keyboard..) anyway. The Fortnightly Penguin. To those who don't know what a fortnight is, it is a period of time, that is 2 weeks long. You've got it. I'm gonna post NEWS UPDATE every two weeks. I know that's a very long period but as well as posting news, I'll be posting other things. I have a personality, you know. And forgive me if I sound rude. I'll explain that now...

One last thing I wanted to tell you. Its October! Hurray for October! And goodbye September! See you next year! (When I'm 12).

A Fast.. Scam?

And what do I see but it's worth 1-2 Good long collars? Don't report. I don't have any proof. :D

Back and Worse

Yesterday... I got scammed. Of my orange long. No joke. I was lucky to own one. Well it was one of the most earliest scams in the book... I'll tell you what happened. I'm more angry than upset. Having the nerve to give me an item that's worth a few rims!!

Well I was at a scam giveaway. I got scammed just a bit but the person who got scammed wasn't very sad. She said the blackout was worth 20 den betas which it is not!!! Yea so she got scammed of the Blackout spike collar.. Oof my kkeyboards acting up. Anyway her username began in Aryanna ssomething. I didn't catch the last parts.. But anyway after we got scammed she came to my dennand got me to her den to trade. She did double tricks on me, trading me for the orange long 13 RIMS.. 

You know... So she then tried to pull the wool over my eyes by saying yes it is worth it. I wasn't cconvinced. Anyway she gave me an item supposedly worth a blue long. I accepted. Then I realised that I might have been sscammed so I buddied her. 

I came online the next day, checking up the worths of Blackout Spiked collar and the item, which was Picnic Blanket. I was raging. So I went and looked in my buddy list but... SHE HAD UNBUDDIED ME!!!

I realized that this trick was probably the most common. I Could have told her, oh yea. Why don't you go get a blue long for yourself. I lost my first long I ever had because I was greedy and maybe cross with getting scammed earlier. 

Let this be a lesson to you. Learn from your mistakes. I will be back later.

Rare Item Monday


Hey jammers! It's Monday and you know what that means!

R.I.M: The abbreviation RIM means Rare Item Monday. Yup, it's an in-game rare.

Losing Your Mind

  Scammers in scams tend to be hard hearted. They do not think about what lies beyond their scams, what happens when people find out that they have been mistaken. The people who buy from the scammers often ask no questions, which they SHOULD. Every beta has a stolen-story to it. 

 What is scamming?

The big question. Scamming is a type of stealing other people's rares to make them give in without protest. It often results in getting you lose your mind, which is not good. Scamming can't be done by anyone unless they know tricks and tips. 

How many jammers have been scammed on Animal Jam? Another big question. Scammers tend to scam in huge numbers, ranging up to 10 to 20. Every year, more than six hundred-thousand jammers have been scammed.

Scammers often work in pairs. Not every scammer uses their main account to scam. They don't want to get banned and lose all their betas. 

Reporters-on-scene report, although many jammers get upset at it, they don't lose their minds, or want to exit AJ for a short term. Sometimes they exit AJ for a number of days, and clear their heads, and face it. That's normally good, so you can have a break from computers. 

The worst kind of scam is called Trust. Trust is something that you do in giveaways, to get the other person to trust you, then trade the desired object. Almost all trust giveaways are total scams, and if you ever go to one, you should not trade your best items. If you are rare, trade your worthless objects like a diamond collar spike, worth a few rims, and see if they accept. If they don't, there is 95% out of 05% scam.

Trust comes in the form of giveaways such as Spike Giveaways, Black Long Giveaway, etc. 

A kind of scamming that comes under a different name is called 'Flash Trading'. Someone trades something for a necklace, and when the jammer accepts, they decline. Flash Trading has petered out now, but comes under a different name, called 'Trolling'. Trolling is basically the same thing, but most of the time it's asked for, like, "Troll me or treat me!" So the user expects a whole trolling, not treating.

Unfortunately, most jammers get trolled every year than they get treated. It is very rare you get treated, unless... the jammers are kind. So wouldn't you like to get treated? Every good turn comes back, you know. Treat others, they might treat you!

In conclusion to scamming, we summarize the facts of scamming:

• Cruel
• Mostly trust
• Trolling (Flash trading)
• Might slightly upset you

 We come to an end at this point, concluding with the last bit: A list of jammers who've got scammed. If you can help these jammers out, it will be nice.

 The Daily Explorer: Down?

The Daily Explorer, the blog of Animal Jam seems to be down - temporarily. It's, however, back to normal - I noticed this last Monday. The post didn't come up, and I was like, oh it's down!

However, the mistake seems to be corrected. :)

 

Announcement:

Hey jammers, it's Panguin32 again! I'm no longer hiring jammers, I've finished with it! I'm glad to say I've got quite a few, and if any members want to hire me, send me a JAG (Jam-A-Gram) to my account. I'm also glad to tell you I got nerd glasses, but I paid 4 den betas for it... Can someone help me retrieve the beta? It's the 5th Birthday Cake. Thank you so much. I couldn't make this blog without the help of my buddies, Becauseaj and Liggtblueivy. And Thank you again, Becauseaj, for giving me 9 Masterpiece Tokens for nothing. I will make a gallery soon.

Rare Item Monday not popular? - The Weekly Penguin

Rare Item Monday Drama

Hey jammers! It's Monday and you know what that means!

R.I.M: The abbreviation RIM means Rare Item Monday. Yup, it's an in-game rare.

Although I think it's cool, I've met several jammers who argue boundlessly that they do not like the Rim available today.

It is called Rare Frog Hat, and it's red. It was available at the Hot Cocoa Hut, Mt Shiveer. This is how it looks.





















 

One jammer in the Hut said:

"This is un-stylish and unlikable, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to buy it. It is exactly the same as the other Frog Hats in store."

Another jammer argued that many people had their own likes and opinions, and other opinions should be kept to the thinker's self. Yet another jammer declared in capitals that member's rares were useless anyway, and that they were just pixels.

The reporter on scene reported there was some drama and two sided arguments, which ended in a lot of Jam-A-Grams to the reporter worded such as, The rare frog hat is much cooler than the others or The rim today is cool.

In conclusion, there were more arguments entitled as Rare Cooler than of the arguments titled as Rare Useless, so it is confirmed Rare Cooler has won! :D

Update: 

Hey jammers, it's PanguinAJ reporting from the scene of confusion: The Daily Explorer did not show the weekly RIM! But thats not what I wanted to tell you. I'm making an important update. I'll be hiring jammers as reporters and I'm making a newspaper: This. I'll be wording the story out, making sure it's true, and you're gonna see news up here! This is mostly to improve my grammar, and I'm bad at writing news reports, so I guess this will be an improvement :)
