Hey Jammers!
A snappy post today ^-^
I'm just going to go through the Jamaa news...

That's all for today Jammers, have an amazing day and see you tomorrow! ^-^

Jamaa Journal Volume 123- 23 July 2014

Hey Jammers!
So, today, I expected to log on to AJ, find the new item, post about it, then sign off... but I was taken by surprise... there's an update today! Strange, huh? O-O
Anyway, all I can say is that I JUST LOVE THIS DARN UPDATE!
First off, let's go through the Jamaa Journal.

It seems that rhinos DID bring something with them- pet rhinos! If you want a pet rhino, pay the diamond shop a visit and purchase your own for 3 diamonds. I think they are quite cute!

A BETA PARTY? O.O Woah WHAT!? Ha, oldest new party XD It looks like it's set in the old beta den, and there are probably some epic items for sale there. Awesome! I'm going to visit the party and make a tour as soon as I can.

 A new animal? There are clues in the Jamaa Journal, so once I finish going through this issue I'm going to try working them out. I hope it's going to be a cool animal! Also, the awesome ribbon scarf has made it as the accessory contest winner- congratulations! It's available for everyone, too! :D

I live in the UK, so I don't think I can get this. However, I heard of a new code: twelve. This will be added to my codes page! It works, because I tried it. Has anyone got this guide? It sounds REALLY awesome!

 Now that we chose a new clothing item, AJHQ also wants us to choose a new den item set that will come to Jamaa! I assume it will be next update, but it could take a little longer. Press the blue button and vote for the set! Personally, I want the ice cream parlour set to win- IT'S JUST SO AWESOME.
Here are all the sets!

THE BEST!

You can also play the newest adventure in hard mode, I wonder what the prizes are! There are also new videos DAILY, yay!

Here's today's video, over at the aquarium!

The activities calendar, which suggests you check out the awesome new rhino pets today!

There are THREE new items today- two non member and one member!

A grill perfect for the summer!

The ribbon scarf, and a candy necklace!Where's the 'new' tag, though? O-O

That's it for today, I'm going to sort out Rainbow000Pegasus' awesome art later today, and I will due a tour of the beta party when it's available (10 minutes...)

Bye! :D

Chairquitos

Hey Jammers!
Today's post is going to be very quick, sorry ^-^
Today's new item is the circular chair, found in Jam-mart furniture;

Rather modern item! I think it would look quite nice in some dens :)

There is also a new video about mosquitos over at the Sarepia Theatre- I hate those things! :o

Don't forget that every hat is 50% off, a great opportunity to buy twice as many hats as you would normally afford!

That's all for today, sorry Jammers ^-^

Rainbow000Pegasus, I am going to sort through your art as soon as I can. It might be tomorrow, but I have a busy day ahead so I'm not sure :)

Rare Nautilus

Hey Jammers!
Today is rare item Monday, so I suppose it's my job to find the rare item hiding in Jamaa today and then post it on here. How about, today I place some unlikely guesses and see how many I get right?
I probably won't get any more than 1/5, but it's worth a try, right?
Clothing or furniture? Furniture
Land or ocean? Ocean
Member or non-member? Non-member
Price range? 100-350 gems
Colour? Pink.
Seriously, have there been any pink rare item Monday items lately? o-o

I got it all wrong except for the fact it's an ocean item. Hmm.

Anyway, there's nothing else new in Jamaa today and I don't think I have a side-topic, I'm getting so busy! Perhaps I will edit this post later with a side-topic, but that's all for now ^-^

Sorry Jammers! :(

Steg Steg

Hey Jammers!
Today's post will be rather rushed, sorry ^-^
WARNING: Long rambling about my extremely thrilling day
This summer, it seems that with each day I am spending less and less time on Animal Jam (just 5 minutes of running around today on CleverQueen,and 5 more on my storage checking up news)
I guess it's getting rather busy, today I have had a late breakfast, encountered a random cat which probably got in through the window standing at my bedroom door when I was home alone, did most of my back-to-school shopping (already! Yes, I know it's really early- my younger sister is still at school but we have to get it done before we go for vacation), stayed out shopping for a REALLY long time- we also visited  a bunch of other stores and I bought this delicious muffin. What really surprised me was the fact that the muffin had no sugar in it! O-o It was just sweetened by fruit... :o  (I checked, I am a label reading expert xD) I also bought 2 books so I don't die of boredom over the summer. I will buy more next time I go shopping. Did you know it took me SO DARN LONG to decide on my pencil-case?
Then... I had dinner, did some random summer stuff with my sister (making bracelets out of rubber bands, making massive bubbles outside, reading in the tent in our garden, running around like crazy maniacs etc.)

So, I didn't really squeeze in much time for Animal Jam.
However, I now bring you this amazing piece of AJ news, brought to you by er...me?

If you have 2,500 tickets and a membership, why not buy this stegosaurus tail? Good for role-playing a dinosaur, but this looks HUGE on some animals. Quite cute on bunnies, though.

There is also a new video! YAY!

Go over to Tierney Thys' aquarium if you want to find out the answer, I'm not going to spoil it for you.

I don't think there's going to be a side topic today, sorry :(

I'm getting more and more busy,time really is flying.

Vacation is coming closer, thankfully. There are so many things I can do to make the time go quicker, including not thinking about the vacation until like the 15th of August or something O-O

Bye bye!

-P.s; sorry rainbow000pegasus, I wanted to reply to your comments but then I totally forgot (\.- I replied now though, so check it out? :P

Dunk a Dino

Hey Jammers!
Late post today, I know, but I try my best ^-^
Anyway, here's what's new in Jamaa today!
First of all, you can find the new item in the Summer Carnival for 2,500 tickets- the stegosaurus tail!

Hmm, rather cool if you would like to become a dinosaur or something. How will you use this? If you ever will, of course.

Moving on, there are no new videos today but, there is something in the activities calendar! YAY!

Have you tried the new game yet? I have, and it's actually quite fun.
You get yourself over to the Summer Carnival...

Then, you go up and right until you find the place where Phantom Ball,Carnival Darts and the Ticket Shop all hang out. Can you see Dunk-a-phantom?

You click on the game, and spend 5 of your hard-earned gems for a try...

You have to hit the targets in order to drown the phantom! Ouch...

Takes quite a lot of trial and error, but then you can take the tickets and treat yourself to a nice plushie (or two)!

That's it in Jamaa! There are no other news to pass along, meaning it's straight to the side topic ^-^

This side topic is really going to be a bunch of random stuff, be prepared :P

I don't know who would fall for this obvious scam, and it's just plain annoying to know that Jamaa is so full of those people that are willing to be lazy and do NOTHING to earn their coveted items whatsoever. Yes, clicking and typing isn't really hard work, no matter how many 'I worked so hard for my rares and now you can buy them!' claims you hear, but scamming on Animal Jam just shows being LAZY TO SUCH AN EXTENT I WANT TO RIP MY LIGHT GREEN FUR OUT AND SHOVE IT IN THEIR HOT DOGS! If you are too lazy to play a few adventures or do a bit of typing, clicking and possibly crying (yes, getting 'rare' often does involve shedding a few tears) then gosh, I can't imagine you in REAL life. Do you want a gym membership? -_-

It feels much better to actually EARN your own items because you will be more proud of it, but if I was you and I successfully scammed a headdress I wouldn't bear to wear it without feeling guilty. REALLY guilty.

Here they are, if you want to report them! Hi47181

Moving on, I need some trading advice? I don't obsess over trading, but I have some leftover rare items and I would like to trade them. I got a few offers, but I'm not sure if they are fair?

First off, I got an offer for my spaceship grey walls- it's a traffic cone. The non-member ones.Do you think it's fair?

Also, another offer for my short green spiked wristband...

What do you think?

If you are interested in any of those items, please let me know ^-^

We might figure out a trade!

I think that's it for today, jam on everyone!

Boa Scammers

Hey Jammers!
I apologise for the late post, but this Summer is becoming increasingly busy for me- I have some school-work to get sorted, back to school shopping to get done, preparing for vacation, drawing...all sorts of things! I hope to get back on track soon.
A thunderstorm is on the way, there was also one yesterday at night and it woke me up :(
Thunderstorms are rather scary!
Anyway, moving on from my rambling and straight on to Jamaa news.
Today's new item can be found in Jam-mart clothing, and it's a sparkly boa!

Hmm... what can I say? It certainly does seem like a good member item, and will go quite well with the other ridiculous sparkly items that have been popping up in shops o-o

Sparkly head bow+sparkly boa+ice armour+sparkly shoes+ice tail= OVERWHELMING SPARKLES

This actually looks a bit sharp O-o

Like little...blades... :S

Anyway, there is also a new video in Jamaa!

Check it out! ^-^ Carnivorous plants... scary, if you ask me... I mean, if they were genetically modified to be bigger then... I'm quite sure.... they might be able to eat... humans! Thankfully, they don't exist. Yet.

Moving on, don't forget that the plushie stores are always being updated! Once a plushie is gone, I immediately put a plushie in its place so the store is always stocked up. This means 100 different plushies to choose from in a single store!

Now, here are the characters I managed to draw. Yay ^-^

First off, I have the Leader of the Angels, Lily...

I also have a devil themed around the colour red, called Flame.

For a side-topic, I caught a scammer today! I took a lot of pictures, so here they are with my descriptions of what happened.

Alright, so someone named Illpup was advertising a give-away for a founders' hat and more at their den. I already was suspicious, and walked around the den saying that it was bound to be a troll. After a lot of waiting, the person arrived...

They changed their previous trade list (which consisted of the founders' hats and several other rather decent rares) into a list full of necklaces. Uh-oh...

Then we were told to 'trust-trade' them, which is basically trading something very good for a cheap item and 'trusting' the person to decline. It is very popular and shouldn't be done, but if you ever do, understand it's VERY risky and even someone you knew since 2010 could turn against you.

A person named 'MoonMoonTheSecond' won quite frequently, which got me suspicious. I then suspected that Moon was the main account and Ill was a storage, so I checked their achievements. Only 9...

After lots of trading, somebody claimed their headdress got accepted! This could be true or not...

The person who claimed their headdress got scammed;

After that, we all got locked out, so it's really likely that Happy did get scammed.

As a safety measure, stay clear of Illpup and also, take caution around Moon. Moon might not be the same person, but they could be.

Remember Jammers to stay safe to avoid scamming!

Here are a few random tips you could use to stay safe from...

Scammers

• Don't make Aldan your main server to visit, as it is FULL of scammers. Only visit at your own risk, and to trade. Be careful!
• Be careful at giveaways- if it is required to give or trade an item, leave the den! It is VERY likely to be a scam so go out and find another giveaway to visit.
• Only trade something if you are happy with what you will get in return- are you sure you want to trade the item? Is it a fair trade to you? Do you like what you will get in return?
• Never give in to a scammer! You have a right to keep your items and nobody should make you feel bad about doing so!
• Not trading back does NOT make you a scammer, so if you don't want to trade back, explain it calmly. If the person is mean to you, block and report them. Don't make the fight any bigger! However, I am talking about not trading back if you more or less did a trade you were both happ
• Don't flash trade- you might think they have no chance of accepting but the sad truth is that sometimes, it gets stuck and some people are exceptionally fast. What do you gain out of flash trading, anyway? My first ever worn blanket (pink) got scammed in early November 2012 (thanks to caseytiger19) by flash trading, PLEASE DON'T GO DOWN THE SAME ROAD!
• Do the whole trade at once if you can- if someone seems do offer something rather suspicious e.g trade me your headdress for my old hood then I'll give you my founders' hat, do NOT do it! If you are doing a trade where you will be receiving more than 4 items, make sure you can trust the person.
• Understand the risks-if you are going to flash,trust or gift, understand the risks. Someone you know at school that you are very close with that played AJ with you since 2010 could take a turn and decide friendship is less important than pixels any day. So, make sure you can either trust them 100% or accept the risk!

Hackers

• Change your password regularly- you can decide how often.It can be as frequent as once a week to once every six months... you decide! 
• Make sure your password is easy for you to remember, but not very predictable,simple or easy for anyone else to figure out. Try to include lower and upper case, symbols and numbers.
• Don's share any information that could make your password easy to guess! 
• As tempting as it may be, NEVER give out your password unless you are VERY close, for  example a parent or even a sibling in some cases. You never know! No matter how much you think you can trust them or what they promise, you never know...
• If you think you might get hacked soon, i.e accidentally giving out your password, getting the attention of a possible hacker, reset your password and lock your account through the parent dashboard. Once you're on there, disable gifting and trading, too. When you are back online,keep locking your account and/or disabling gifting/trading until you feel safe again.
• Be careful in Aldan! It's a popular spot for people like x to hang out in...

Before I finish, I caught another scammer >.>

Bye bye!
