Adventure Tutorial: Return of the Phantoms (with pictures)

Okay. This is how to play RETURN OF THE PHANTOMS!
You must be level one to play it. go to the Adventure Base Camp (click on parties)
see the "adventures" button? just click that (this picture was showing a glitch, but it also shows adventures and I'm too lazy to take a new one, lol).
ok. then see the bridge? go up towards that. then there should be some stones with portals. one stone says "Return of the Phantoms". click on the portal closest to it, and click "join an adventure", and click normal mode (you need to be level two to play hard mode).
if a member has a speech bubble above their head that says "Join me" and then, below it, "Return of the Phantoms" then click on the "join me" button and skip the other steps.
okay. now for the game!
when you first go in, someone must click on the exclamation point above Liza's (the Panda Alpha) head. then read what she has to say.
go to the right, through the leaf barrier, follow the path, and see all the bunnies? they all have something to say- the one next to the door, Binky, will tell you that he is watching over the "Bunny Burrow" while his parents are gone, and that they will be back when the plants are watered.

Then click on Pumpkin's speech bubble. she will say she has a cork. click on the paw symbol above the cork to pick it up.
go over to the purple pipe (to the far right of the picture) and a cork button will appear above it. click on that to plug it and stop it from contaminating the river any more.
Pumpkin will say that there are more pipes ahead, so go through the vine barrier and look for more corks and Phantom pipes. but there is a problem: PHANTOMS! (to see what phantoms do and how to defeat them, play the Adventure Tutorial, and comment if you have more questions.)
sneak past (or trap) the phantoms to plug every pipe. then the river will be clear blue.
now you can go through the river! just splash right on through it to wander around- now treasure chests are possible to get to. Try pushing through the trees and looking in curious places to find secret treasure chests, which you can then open to get gems- up to 200!
then go to the well and click on the symbol above it to get a bucketful of water.

see the dead, thorny, purple-ish plant in the last step? and the watering can above it? click on that watering cat to give your water to the plant. there are many plants to water, and you have to water them all- so look around a bit and grab some water! (you'll have to refill your water every time you use it on a plant. there are two watering wells to get it from.)
now, remember what Binky said about his parents coming back when all the plants are fixed? well, now you can go to the Bunny Burrow, since they're home. Go ahead, try it!
The Bunny Burrow is a wonderful place to explore and play, and George and Clover will welcome you warmly. But you're on a mission, remember. At the bottom level, as long as you don't trip over all the toys, you will meet Clover. She has something important to give to you....
The Key to unlocking the Phantom Door! Well, pick it up, quick!
go back the way you came, out of the Bunny Burrow. go back over the bridge, past the bunnies, past the well, and look at that looming gate ahead of you! what could open it, I wonder? ;)

Maybe a key?
open the door. your key will disappear- you can't use it again, sorry. go through the gate and well, now what?
Trapped Bunnies? what trapped bunnies? well, explore (there are phantoms everywhere! be careful) and see if you can find a key or two (you can only pick up one at a time), and then maybe you'll bump into the cages....
aww, poor things! but wait- you have a key. go towards one of the cages and use the key. The bunny will be freed! give out a cheer. but wait- there are still three more! go back and find the keys!
once you free all the bunnies, Liza will appear- with a prize. See what she has to say.
Pick a treasure chest, and see what you get!
now you can use the exit portal to go back to normal life.
and there you go! you've saved the bunnies, watered the flowers, saved the river. You're a hero! time to go, but see you soon! :)
Jam on!

Surprise SUNDAY!!!!!

I am SO SO SORRY that I forgot to post yesterday. I had a choice between blog or Curious Berry stories, and I chose the latter (Curious Berry is a story I'm writing and it's reeeaaaally long). and today I will write my blog post AND a trillion Jayjay's mission stories (because I need to catch up on them so I always have one to put here!).
anyways. guess what day it is?!
SURPRISE! Sunday :P
the surprise is ruined BECAUSE I was going to put the winner of the Rare Pink Purse Giveaway.
Nobody entered. *deflates* ftoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........
So I am extending this to another THREE weeks. on the first day of spring, I will announce the winner!
All you need to do is simple. just comment WHY you think you should win, and I'll pick someone to get a rare pink purse! although, you should also state a time you'll be online, since I can't simply send gifts so we have to trade, and put your username. and then whenever you're online, TADA! free rare pink purse (well, you have to trade something for it, but seriously, a necklace or ugly plushie for a rare? can't say no) :D
And if I ever get membership, I will host a giveaway and just send you guys the gifts. :)
Okay. so, I guess extending it to Spring is a bit of a surprise, but no way is that good enough! so I will post a picture and a code and.... hmm........ an adventure tutorial!
First, the picture (or two or three cuz I have a lot of pictures):

 CONFETTI PHANTOMS (yep I need to work on my drawing skills, lol and BOTH OF THESE ARE EDITED BADLY CUZ I'M LAZY)

and that's the pictures, the code is OUTBACK! it gets you 500 gems. that one was in the NGK magazine :)
the adventure tutorial I will post after all this stuff. just FYI. okay. so let's wrap this up!
there are twice as many chickens on Earth as people. TWICE as many. double chickens. cock-a-doodle-doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
JAYFEATHER TIME! Jayfeather's mission 11 CLIFFHANGER!!!! I love torturing my readers with cliffhangers and making them wait a whole day :)
well, that's it- besides for the tutorial, which is in my other post, check it out!
Jam on!

Things I hate about Animal Jam: types of jammers

as of yesterday, I forgot to share the link for Jayfeather's mission. that is now fixed, and from now on I will make sure the links are fixed!
DID YOU KNOW that wild strawberries can be yellow? woooow. weird. cool! :)
Yesterday, Owls came to Jamaa! yay! you can buy them in the diamond shop for ten diamonds, members only- at least that's my guess. I haven't seen any non-members with them, and all the new animals lately are members-only-ten-diamonds... wish I could get one. meh :3


there are many, many things that I have a serious problem with on animal jam, but I will list just a few here, as I need something to fill my post.
Those people that call you a scammer. for no reason. they are clearly misusing the word. like, once someone was doing an account giveaway- and everyone was just shouting "pick me pick me!" and there was no contest or anything, the owner just picked someone randomly, and then another person shouted "Don't trust her shes a scale" and I'm just like....... umm..... he picked a completely random person. why are you even trying.
or when someone doesn't give you something for free just because they want it and then they call you a scammer when you don't give it up. umm..... I'm just a little confused here.
I also don't like the roleplayers who say "bites neck no miss" all the time and "leaps and claws and pulls to ground and makes dead no miss" all the time, and then when you simply say "leaps at no miss" ONCE, they call you a power-player.
riiiight. I'M the powerplayer. lol :P
and what about the people who refuse to believe anything? twenty people get hacked by Fman122. they say "he's just a troll, and I guess all those people got hacked are trolls too" and walk away. fifty people get hacked. they themselves get hacked. they say it's a glitch.
right..... a glitch. okie then.
or those people that assume things without information. like, I say "free code giveaway my den!" because, what I'm ACTUALLY planning, is to go to my den and say a gem code to everyone for free. but some people sometimes assume things, without knowing all the details, which led to someone calling me a "scale" when I did this (I admit, it sounds like a scam to most jammers, but they should ask what I'm at least doing first).
and we've all met the following friends. those buddies who follow you everywhere and never let you get a moment to yourself and always want to do stuff with you all the time and don't leave you alone for a moment. once, on a tutorial website, on "how to make buddies on animal jam" one of the tips was "follow them everywhere to make sure you don't get lost".
that's not going to help, people. let me tell you this straight out. a friend may want to follow you, but do not follow a friend- it gets seriously annoying eventually to some people.
and the rude people. the people who blurt out something from the top of their head, like "why do you look so ugly" or "eww, is that a top hat? that's for boys!" or "omg scale I report u get away from me bully meanie you are so rude go" without thinking first (or sometimes thinking last) and overreacting. drama queens and rudeness follow AJ everywhere it goes.
phew. I'm sure you've all met at least one of those people. if you've forgotten:
the powerplayer
the stubborn-not-believing-it-jammer
the assumer
the follower
the rude-doesn't-think-before-typing-jammer
the drama queen
,maybe you could sympathize with me...... in the comments...... by typing a comment....... and posting it......... *hint hint*
JAYFEATHER TIME IS FINALLY HERE, JAMMERS!
Jayfeather's mission 10: this one is shared fully
as always, Jam on!

Fact Thursday + Coral Canyons Glitch

HELLOOOOO JAMMERS! :D
does anyone know about a good screen recording device? because I would love to make YouTube videos about Animal Jam.
This is FACT THURSDAY (and I got a lot of them, since I got a NGK magazine yesterday)!
DID YOU KNOW! it's possible for a seed to be blown across the entire ocean and sprout on a whole different CONTINENT. wow. epic!
NO ONE has entered the giveaway for the RPP (Rare Pink Purse) so far- if no one does, I'll have to extend the giveaway to another week- or even two.
It's simple. just comment why you want the purse! and yes, it's okay to say "I'm new and need more stuff". just tell the truth. and I'll probably only get five entries, so don't think "nah, someone else will win it, I don't have a chance so why even try" because it's very likely you will.
anyways. more facts! lemme go get my Nat Geo kids magizzzzzzzzzine (I like ZZZ's), and here we go....
by the way, there's a new code, from the NGK magazine that if you comment I'll share.... yes, I'm bribing you to comment. :P
DID YOU KNOW that some pets are so pampered that they have heated, two-story doghouses and hand-made sweaters? I'm not joking. O_O
did you knowwww that a volcano once erupted with, instead of lava, sulfur. imagine this: a volcano pouring with rivers of glowing blue lava. that's exactly what it looked like! wow, I want to see that! did you know that some sea turtles swim thousands of miles each year? or that a colder loggerhead turtle nest makes boy turtles, and a warmer one makes girls? wow. or that the longest ever recorded echo lasted for almost TWO MINUTES. hot water and cold water make different sounds when poured. the western diamondback rattlesnake can rattle it's.... rattle... almost 60 times a second. On the island of Niue, some dollar coins have POKEMON imprinted on them. and..... wait. AHH! I CAN FLY!!!!!!!! everyone, GO TO CORAL CANYONS YOU CAN ACTUALLY FLY! I'm not sure how long it'll last. but it's still working, any server. so go fly today! I should wrap it up now. I think. the font is messed up somehow and I can't see how much I've typed correctly....
Jayfeather's mission 9- fixed there you go, Jayjay fans! (UPDATE: I put "fixed" because yesterday I forgot to SHARE IT *facepalm* so that's the shareable link.
:D and how in the name of StarClan can he even see....?
and so with that I have to wrap it up. As always, be epic and JAM ON!

Code Wednesday and Cabin Fever

CODE WEDNESDAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! who here loves using Nyanit.com? it's just so fun! I didn't get to play Sky High with Nyan, though- too glitchy :(
the code is WINTER! enter code Winter for 500 gems, I think. if it doesn't work, or I've already said this one, please comment below so I can fix it :)
today I am a seashell- and at least a thousand years old, because I've spent the last nine hundred years at least listening to my sister talk. and since seashells can't pick up duct tape, I was forced to just listen. and tomorrow I will be a day old pie, because I like pie. :P
yep, I'm random. SPEAKING OF RANDOM, does anyone here watch RainbowTheCatAJ videos? she is the meaning of random. I cannot stop laughing. seriously.
I have FIFTY ONE pageviews now! thank you, everyone- thank you! as always, I LOVE COMMENTS! :3
now, I am going to check my inbox. if I have any comments, I will give a shout-out gladly- so let's check it out....
aww :( nothing there! now I'm a sad thousand-year-old seashell :P
I love winter. And I also hate winter. I mean, it's just.... it's both an amazing, wonderful land of shining, soft, fluffy white, an excuse to stay inside with hot chocolate and a million Warriors books, AND five months of nothing but cold, bleak yards and being cooped up inside. I have Cabin Fever- plus, I'm home-schooled, which makes it twenty times worse because I can't even get outside to go to school. and any out-of-home stuff is usually canceled because of the SNOW.
AHHHHHH I'M GOING CRAZYYYY *explodes*
well......... at least I can phone friends.... when the lines aren't down or we don't have a black-out from the snow.
That might be why I'm going on AJ more. I can get out of the house and talk to someone that isn't my sister or my parents..... and I don't even have to put on my boots :P
but seriously,  I'm sick of this. I wish winter was only a month, and the extra two months could go to summer- although the snow lasts for more like six months anyways.
DID YOU KNOW that surgeons sometimes use SEA CORAL to replace human bones? wow. cool! not like I would want to have coral in my bones myself, but it's still cool :P
and........ time for Jayfeather..... *falls asleep on keyboard* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....... I want summer back. please comment, it would make my day. I'm not kidding. and maybe it could offer some relief from Cabin Fever, too ;)
what was I talking about again? oh, yeah, Jayjazzzzzzzzzzz.........
*jerks awake* ah, man. *grumbles under breath* I wouldn't be tired if it was summer....
Jayfeather's mission 8
and now time to wrap it up so I can go outside and attempt to play. well, at least it's sunny. my mom says that a few days ago, the cat got out, and to get back in my mom called him and he sort of swam through the snow to get back to the door. o_O woah. that's snowy.
Jam... Onzzzzzz.....
~Hawkfire..........ZZZzzz..........

Tuesday Babbles

I ran Captain Melvile's Juice Hut (Crystal Sands) today, and it's really fun to do- if someone's already there, be a customer.
You can say stuff like "hello, how may I help you today?" or "Would you like anything?" or "Which flavor smoothie would you like?"
you can hire a band, or sing Karaoke yourself, which is incredibly fun, and you might get some claps- in the form of people saying ":claps:", of course :P
Okay, it may seem a bit childish to play shop, but seriously, it's fun. and some people might hang around, chat, relax, and have a ton of fun- you can goof off if you want. there's no law against being random (and if there was, I'd be in prison for life).
All you do is stand behind the juice counter and unleash the epicness :D
I know a few ways to be random in real life. like "teach your pet rock to play dead" or say in a deep voice "I must find a different host body" and then look confused (you get the best freak-out factor in public, but I don't suggest you do this often- or in the President's office, lol) XD
yep. I love randomness. and epicness. and awesomeness. and AJ. and does anyone here go on Scratch? I love Scratch, and Warriors and the universe and saying BLRGFESIFIFENAHBVEN out loud.
I have a challenge for everyone. Say these words- OUT LOUD. see if you can do it! I'm playing it too.
Jkiopitrejg (Jk-io-pi-trejg)
Lniam
Kargsgiy (Karg-s-giy)
Nahapiopiajikilimootiejayfootsies (see if you can do it)
OOfihaSSiue (based on the language of Ogrese in Ella Enchanted, GREAT book)
Lpokwla (Lpok-wla)
did you manage any of them? that was really fun.
I love Boston Crème ANYTHING, and I just ate pure gooey bliss- a Boston Crème Cronut (is that how you spell it?). I was like OH STARCLAN THAT'S GOOD when I ate it, because, I mean, it's just really, really good.
Did you know  that a group of musicians in China makes Instruments out of vegetables. like, a carrot and celery flute, etc. wow. that's incredible!                         
:)
by the way, if I ever forget Jayjay, please forgive me and don't come as a swarming mob with pitchforks and torches :)
  JAYFEATHER TIME!!!! And I'm really not sure if this is the right chapter, it's so hard to keep track. if I skipped a chapter, please comment and I'll fix it! Jayfeather's real mission 7                                                                                                             
 As always, Jam On!

Summer Carnival Glitch?!?!?!! 2015

OH STARCLAN. weirdest glitch ever- and some have theories that AJ is actually getting HACKED.
it's February 2nd, and yet:


WOAH. First of all.... SUMMER CARNIVAL??? It's the middle of winter! I am very confused here!
and don't forget the New Year's Party. Umm.... that was over, like, maybe a week ago?
therefore, I am FREAKED OUT.
I really hope they aren't getting hacked- and they probably aren't. it's just a... *starts hyperventilating* glitch.... glitch.... GLITCH..... GLITCH!!!!!!!!!!! GLITCH GLITCH GLITCH GLITCH AHHHHH *explodes*
R.I.P. A-JAM!
Now it says that it's "Hard at work updating the lands of Jamaa" and "check back soon!" so I really hope they'll fix everything- although that summer carnival WAS pretty fun :P
I'll update when AJ is back online- or as soon as possible otherwise.
 
UPDATE!! AJ is back online, and everything seems to be fixed- SC (Summer Carnival) is gone- and so is the New Year's party. I doubt AJHQ would do that glitch for no reason, though. I think that they narrowly avoided a very serious hack, but that's just my theory.
Plus.... I still have all my tickets that I won there. O_O
