Coins for Change is coming soon!!

November 30, 2009

Yippee!!! Several great things! Coins for change is the first! It’ll be starting up again soon. It’s one of my favorite things about the holidays! So cool!

Every year we hear from you guys about how much you love participating in Coins For Change. The 3rd annual Coins For Change program will go from December 11th – 20th and we’re gearing up to celebrate how contributing (in big or small ways) can help to change the world!

Coins For Change is all about playing games to earn coins… and then donating coins at stations around the island. Every donation of coins in Club Penguin means you’ll be helping decide how a 1 million dollar donation will be divided. This year the categories are: helping kids who are poor, helping kids who are sick, and helping the environment. And this year, there’ll be some new ways to donate and celebrate – including a benefit concert at the Lighthouse!!

Keep checking for Rockhopper because his arrival will kick off the celebrations!! And he’ll bring some rare items that’ll make it possible to donate coins right inside your igloo…

Let us know if you’re planning on saving up your coins to share during Coins For Change!

Saving coins? Heck yeah! I’ll most likely give like, a ton? Maybe half? Who knows?

Secondly, I got myself a kitty cat! She is SOOOO cute! She’s a small grey tabby and she is the loudest purrer ever! Until next time,

You Decide & Sneak Peek!

November 29, 2009

Ugh. School’s tomorrow. Oh well. Enjoy Sunday while it’s here. Anyways, there’s a new update on the CP community blog. The You Decide is regarding the next mission! I voted for #2 and it appears to be VERY popular. I’d either have 2 or 3, but 1? Nah!

Hello Agents!

You guys are doing a great job keeping the island safe. You’ve been asking about Mission 11 and I can tell you the team’s working hard to make it really exciting. Since it’s being developed right now, we were actually hoping that you’d be able to help us decide on some stuff that’ll go into the Mission!!

Check out these glasses… Would you help us decide which pair you’d like to be able to earn in Mission 11? You’ve got 3 options – Just click on number that matches the pair you like best!!

Awesome! I wonder who the new agent’s gonna be! I wonder what the mission’s going to be about too! It’s all so exciting! I wonder what Herbert’s been doing all this time. I hope he’s not planning this really big scheme. Than again, part of me hopes he does! Until next time,

Club Penguin Times, Sports Catalog and Snow Maze

November 27, 2009

Sorry I missed yesterday’s newspaper. We had to leave early for Thanksgiving. But there’s a lot to do today. The newspaper is bursting of stuff to come! Who knew that for once it would be this way?

The recent “chill” on the island has gotten the island excited. To celebrate winter’s coming, the Ski Village is hosting a Snow Maze for members!

Coins for Change will be coming back on Dec. 10th! Get your bells out and get ready to help!

There are a lot of things going on today, but what about everything else?

OKAY! Putting yesterday aside, now for today’s news!  The snow maze has started, but before you go, take a lift up to the Ski Hill. There’s a free blue touge there, and a new sledding catalog!

Pretty sweet, but not as sweet as the snow maze! Head back down to the Ski Village and jump into the maze! If you want to cheat or are really lost, there’s a stand besides the maze entrance that shows you the right way to go! Just click on it and the red button and this map appears.

Take a few twists and turns.. uhm.. wait was it this way? No this way. Ah! Here we are! The end of the maze!

Go inside the strange cave with strange *hint* footprints outside and pick up a Yeti outfit!

…….I feel like this was planned… *murmur murmur* Oh! Sorry. Ignore me. =^_^=”‘

After you leave the maze, go to the sport shop. There’s a new catalog for you to look at. I really think the green team is becoming popular..

…..Yay GREEN! AND BLUE!
Uh yeah…

Anyways, there’s only three secrets in this one. The green hockey outfit, hidden in the cheering green penguin, the green goaly outfit, hidden in another cheering green penguin, and the white pom-poms, hidden in the word, “ice”.

Is there anything I’m forgetting… Oh! Yes! On the walls of the Fire Dojo are now instructions and the legend, like in the regular dojo.

And another thing Club Penguin forgot to announce! We have new music in our igloos! :D

Until next time,

Waddle on and discover new adventures!

You Have Done Well Young Grasshopper!

November 25, 2009

YATTA! Happy happy! I just became a full-fledged fire ninja! I’m so excited! The battle with Sensei was fun. He’s an awesome penguin to learn from. He’s got some pretty wicked cards, but that didn’t stop me! I managed to beat him, then I received my fire gem and title as a fire ninja! :D

Since this is a rare occasion, I decided to for once record it and make a video! Trust me, it was a pain to make, edit and upload in only 20 minutes. But it’s pretty cool and I hope you enjoy it! I didn’t have any audio recorder, so after I finished the video I went back in and added music.

Until next time,
Fan the flames that live in our hearts!

Screenhog’s Guide to Card-Jitsu Fire

November 25, 2009

Screenhog has a simpler guide to how to play card-jitsu fire. If you want to read my long rambling, but more detailed guide, the post is below this one.

Lots of you are already Card-Jitsu Fire experts! But I wanted to give you some game info in case you haven’t had a chance to play the new game in the Fire Dojo yet:

General Stuff:

  • There are practice mats for 2, 3, and 4 players. You can play with friends there.
  • If you talk to Sensei, and you pick the “Earn your Fire Suit” option, he’ll set up a match. You get more experience points if you do this.
  • You can enter new offline trading card codes and you’ll get cards added to your online deck. You won’t see the animations in the Card-Jitsu Fire game but you can see them if you’re playing the original Card-Jitsu game.

How to Play:

  • On your turn, select the stone which determines the spaces you move, choose your tile (you have 2 options), and then you’ll pick your card to determine the outcome of the round.
  • If you land on one of these, Fire Stone.jpg Snow Stone.jpg Water Stone.jpg- choose a card. The highest number wins. If you don’t have the element, you cannot win that round.
  • If you end up with this symbol, Card-Jitsu Battle.jpg or if you land on the same space as an opponent, you’re going to have a Card-Jitsu battle – the elements determine the winner (water beats fire, etc. as in the original Card-Jitsu).
  • If you end up on this symbol,  Elemental Battle.jpg you get to choose which of the 3 elements you’d like to play!
  • If you’re playing and someone quits, you get the experience points. If you quit, you don’t get any points.

Yup, his guide is simpler. Anyways, I’ve got to work on some math homework, so this post is short. :( Have fun gaining your fire outfit! Until next time,

Card-Jitsu Fire Begins! (And Guide to the Game!)

November 23, 2009

Wow! Already? It’s not even the 24th yet! Oh wait, that’ll be in like only a few hours :P . I’m heading online to see if it really is up. Meanwhile you can read this post.

It’s here! If you’re a member ninja and have the mask and the Amulet, head to the Fire Dojo now for the chance to play Card-Jitsu Fire first!!

4 ninjas can play all at once – If you want to practice with friends, you can go to the mats – or if you want to earn your Fire Suit, talk to Sensei! There are a couple of different types of battles you can have on the game board.

cardjitsu.jpg
Hey – those of you with new Card-Jitsu Fire trading card codes have been getting a message that we weren’t quite ready for them. We’re really sorry for the delay – and we wanted to say thank you for being so patient! They’re ready now and you can redeem them for your online cards. We also wanted to remind you that if you see anything that could be a bug, let us know so we can squash it…

I’m online right now and updating as I play! Go to the Fire Dojo and talk to Sensei. He’ll guide you through it. First off though, you’ll receive a new deck of fire cards. Awesome huh?

Click on Sensei’s outfit and he’ll explain how you can earn your own. I think it looks pretty snazzy! After you earn your fire suit, challenge Sensei to receive a gem for your amulet!

Onto challenging, check out the battlefield! It’s epic! We’re actually in the volcano!

Depending on how many players you have, you take turns moving. When it’s your turn, Click on one of the tiles in the center. A number will show up. You will then pick which spot to go to. Depending on which one you go to, you will have to use a certain type of card.

For instance, if you got a choice between snow or fire from getting the number 5, you would choose one and use that type of card that you have in your deck. Whoever chooses the higher number card wins. Your choice of card is on the left side, while the others cards are shown on the right.

At the beginning of the game, you start out with 6 energy points. If you win against someone else, you will keep your points. But if you lose against someone, you will lose an energy point. You can keep track of how many you have. It will be next to your name and penguin.

If you land on a spot where another penguin is standing, you and them are engaged in a card-jitsu battle, just like old card-jitsu. Fire beats ice, ice beats water, and water beats fire. In a battle like this, if you win, you earn an energy point. If you lose, the other person earns an energy point instead. If you all tie, none of you will lose your energy.

The five different tiles lined around the battlefield are ice, fire, water, VS player and you choose.

The VS player space is where you can challenge a certain player, unless you’re in a one-on-one battle. You are then engaged in a card-jitsu battle. If you win here you will also win an energy point, just like landing on a spot with another player.

If you land on the you choose the element space, you will be able to pick which element you want to battle with. I’d suggest using the element that is the highest number in your deck.

If you want to see how you’re progressing, click on the card set on the bottom right hand corner of the screen in the Fire Dojo. You earn EXP from winning matches; 1st, 2nd, and I think 3rd sometimes. The progress bar shows you how far away you are until your next item to build your Fire Suit with. I belive there are… 4 items you need to earn. But trust me, it won’t be easy!

Ah! One more very important thing. In some cases, another player may land on a tile and you don’t have a card element of that type. In a situation like that, you automaticly lose that turn, although you still have to pick a card. I would pick the lowest card in your deck just to get rid of it.

I trying to get my brain back onto the train of thought. I lost it in the last battle.. Anyways, I don’t think there’s anything else that I can share with you in order to play the game. But hey, why listen to me ramble on? Go play the game for yourself and find out what else I forgot! (Please post a comment if I left something out or some information is wrong, thank you!)

Until next time,

Good luck in your training in the Fire Dojo!

Please Vote!

November 23, 2009

I’ve only gotten a few people voting on my poll on the sidebar about making a neopets page. If you could vote and let me know what you think; if I should make a neopets page or not; that would be very helpful. It’s on the sidebar, the last poll I belive.

Thanks for your feedback!

New Card-Jitsu Power Cards Sneak Peek

November 22, 2009

With the new ninja game coming out soon, the CPT is coming out with more and more power cards to use against your opponents! In fact they have a sneak peek of a WOP (Work in Progress) card! I really want it just because it looks cool and it involves my favorite penguin on the island. :P

The game officially launches November 24th and the island’s heating up!! I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek into what the new ninja fire journey might have in store for you… This is from one of the new power cards:

What do you think? Also, You’ve asked – and along with a lot of ninja toys (including soft Limited Edition Penguins and Mix ‘N Match figures), we’ve got more Card-Jitsu Trading Cards available in stores!

trading.jpg
Inside the new tins (including the Card-Jitsu Fire Sensei Collector tin) there’s a sheet so you can check off the Trading Cards that you’ve got!! The cards are available now at a lot of places including Target, Walmart, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Disney Stores. You can also get them online at Disney.com – and the CP Online Shop starting November 24th.

Goodness! That’s an awful lot of power cards! It’s enough to make a collection! Shoot, now I want some. :3

I’m excited for the upcoming game, and I wonder what it’ll be like. Probably like Card-Jitsu, only slightly different. Oh yeah! How do you like my new header? I’m really proud of it because it took a while to finish.

Until next time,

Another Visit from Sensei on Chinook (Again)

November 21, 2009

Hello fellow ninjas, I met Sensei again, but his visit today was short. We played two games after he spoke of our training, then he had to go. :( I guess Sensei is busy today. None the less, it was an enjoyable time.There was a large crowd though, so that took some pleaser away from it.

Then we played a game. Sensei asked us to throw snowballs at the sea animal gong that he called. He said seahorse and we all laughed because there wasn’t one. :P

Then he asked us what our favorite game was and most of us said Card-Jitsu. When someone asked him if he wanted to play it, he said, “No, I need a break from Card-Jitsu.” I can understand that. He battles a lot of penguins each day. Take as long of a break you want Sensei. You deserve it. :) (Shoot I forgot to save the picture)

Of course, all good things have to end sometime, and Sensei poofed away in a cloud of smoke. Who knows, maybe I’ll see him again soon!

Until next time,

Waddle on and discover new adventures!
