Something Shiny.... ooooh!

Hello everybody!

Well, 'Panda Golds' have arrived! Yahoo~ Henry stated that most of us pandas e-mailed him requesting about 'answering surveys, get rewards' issues. So, in order to deal with the problem, Henry made it happen! Here's what he has to say on his blog,

---start of Henry's post---

Hey everyone!

Now things around are getting interesting... now I can be an elite member in Pandanda with ease. Its a good thing Henry made this up, this will help a lot for those who can't purchase membership. :D

Also, there's this "Panda Gold" icon in the game, located in the upper right portion of the screen. See it?

Basically, I think its only there just to show how many panda golds you have already achieved and what are panda golds... well, I haven't start doing anything yet, but yeah, I guess I will later on. :D

Ciao~ :))

Ask Sheriff Steele: Passwords

I'm back once more for another entry. Speaking of entries... Sheriff Steele wanted to announce something, a very familiar question brainstorming each and every panda. Well, he posted on Henry's blog, so here's what he has to say...

Hello citizens of Pandanda Land!

All of you know that I want you to keep your accounts safe, so you can keep on having fun in Pandanda. I received a question the other day that I want to share with you all. It is about a problem that seems to be happening more and more. I hope you will pay close attention! 

Dear Sheriff Steele, Someone in Pandanda told me that if I tell them my password, they will get me a free Elite membership. Somebody else said they would give me millions of coins if I tell them my password. I really want to be an Elite member! Is it ok to tell them my password? Signed, A Confused Panda Dear Confused, No, it is not ok to tell them your password. If you tell your password to someone, they can go on your account and do whatever they want. They could sell all of your things, delete all of your friends, and even get your account banned. If this happens, it is your responsibility. Pandanda will not be able to give your items back to you or restore your friends list. It is impossible for anyone to give you millions of coins. And the offer to buy you an Elite membership is probably not true. You have no way to know for sure if they are telling the truth, or if they are just trying to get your account. Do you want to risk losing your account forever? Please, do not let anyone convince you to tell them your password. Another player told me that someone said they would ban him if he didn’t tell them his password. That is also impossible. No player can ban another player, even if they send lots of reports. Only Moderators and I can ban players. Be smart and safe, my panda friends! Keep your password to yourself, and change it soon if you have ever told it to anyone. Sheriff Steele

 Well, that was something I expected from him... thanks for the tip, Sheriff! ;)

BALLYHOO! 42th Golden Prize!

Greetings! (again!)

Zing has brought upon us a new bacon for us to take home, and this has a huge relation with the past music-themed prizes. Guess what that is? :-)

As always, you need to collect 10 GOLDEN TICKETS scattered across the island (Except for treehouses), After collecting those, you may surrender them to Zing Ballyhoo, found in the Treehouse Lobby, for a weekly prize or 500 gold (It is more advised to take the weekly prize since it only appears ONCE. 500 gold can be taken after an effort.)

Its an orange t-shirt with long sleeves, pasted with a smiley face wearing a headphone! It looks pretty neat! I loved the way how it had sleeves attached to it! Way to go! ;) Here's what it looks like in the player card. :)

What do you think of the prize? I loved it! Although there's one request I could put up to it... I wish it was available with different colors... hahaha! BALLYHOO!!

The First And New Catalog for 2k11!

Hello everyone! (my cookies? D:<)

Guess what? Fitch has already released the new catalog just this morning, January 21, 2011, Friday. Looking it out from the cover, it looks like it all be coats and jackets for this edition. :-)

Let's take a lap browsing the catalog, shall we? :-3

Well, there's Alpine Down Parkas for this winter. There's a jacket with hood and jacket without hood. :-)

There are also knit hats and snowflake sweaters, each paired with 5 different colors. So you can mix 'em up, and look like a rainbow around the island... hahaha! just kidding! ;)

This is the page I truly liked among the rest... it has ear muffs and scarfs! I loved how its presented in the page, snowmen wearing them... way to get yourself in a 'cool' spirit. :)

I guess the catalogs can't be catalogs without the presence of... Hockey! ROFL! xD

Also, they brought in some headphones... in different colors! dan dan dan... :O

There's tons of random things in the next 2 pages, but this random things ain't for anything. There's Rhinestone jeans, Yin & Yang outfits, skirts, blouse and accessories! (FOR GIRLS ONLY! :O)

There are... some western clothes sold? Cowboy hats, shirts and jeans... oh well, maybe they'll be having a western party after Winter... Still, it looks pretty neat! ;D

Well, there's old items you can get there... wigs, jeans, shirts, skirts... you know the drill, right? :)

Last but not the least, new backgrounds! you might want to check 'em out? its good to keep on the latest fashion, now don't you think? :)

That's about it for this new catalog. Hope you enjoyed it! Hahaha!

Peace out~

New Edition of Meet The Mods!

Hi,

Today, Henry had another 'Meet The Mods' edition, but its not Jule this time... its another moderator, Jozie!

Here's what she has to say...

Do you have any Dragons?
• Yup! I have 4: Lumos who is a silver dragon, Nox who is a black dragon, Charm who is an Easter dragon and Jinx, a purple dragon.

What is your treehouse like?
• It’s still Christmasy. I haven’t decided what to do next yet. Any suggestions?

What is your favorite Outfit?
• I love love love my new purple princess dress from Questy. Next favorite would have to be the Wizard robes.

What is your favorite Color?
• Purple

Which minigame is your favorite?
• Dragon’s Treasure

Would you rather chase Bunnies or hunt Ghosts?
• Bunnies. Bunnies are way cuter than Ghosts :p

What was your favorite Festival?
• I love Halloween, so the Pumpkin Festival has been my favorite so far, but if March of the Snowmen were a festival, that one would be my favorite. I love love love snowmen!

What is your favorite Quest?
• Ohhh that’s a hard one! I think my favorites are the new snowmen-based quests!

What is your favorite room in Pandanda?
• Pawthorne Forest. It’s so pretty and peaceful!

What is the best thing about being a Moderator?
• Getting to meet all of the pandas in Pandanda. There are a LOT of really fun players!

What is the hardest thing about being a Moderator?
• Not being able to help everyone. It’s fun to be able to chat with everyone, but there are a lot of pandas to check on, so I do have to keep moving around.

What do you like to do when you are not Moderating?
• Read, listen to music and watch movies.

What makes you smile in Pandanda?
• Pandas helping other pandas … and pandas using the snowman potion! hehe

Is there anything else you would like to say to Pandanda land?
• Follow the rules. They’re there to make the game fun for everyone. And it gives me more time to chat with you all ;)

- Jozie 

That was something to be answered by a regular mod... I wonder if Henry will have something like this... to himself. Can't wait for that to happen! xD

March Of The Snowmen 2k11!

A cold greetings to everybody!

Today's the start of the snowmens! As you may know, today is January 18, 2011. Officially declared as... "The March Of The Snowmen!" (Hoping that the snowmen won't melt until the party is still going on. Hahaha!) And better yet, there are 2 additional quests for this event, my guesses are they are related about snowman. What do you think? :-3

To start it of, snowmen are found everywhere around the island! Bear Hollow, Market Streets, Fishing Ponds, you name it! (except for specific places though, like treehouses xP)

There's a (pretty) neat snow fort on the West Market Street. Instead of fences, it looks like Mr. Elmhurst used snow forts~ In addition, there's a snowman beside the upper walls making stacks of snowballs. (Snowball fight!) Cool!

There's a funny moment to be found on the Fishing Pond... a melted snowman beside the fire! Hahaha! Laughed so hard after seeing that! :-)

Also, we are limited on catching fishes, the pond has turned to a big chunk of ice! There are, fortunately, little holes left for us to catch fish. Phew~

More good news, Paige now sells Frosty Potions that costs 20 coins. Way to go Paige! Its a good thing he was able to get some from Chilly the Snowman. Coolio!

Last but not the least, there's a big animated snow globe, a snowman and a sneaky snowman on the East Market Street. Way to handle a party around the island! Yahoo!

Well, its a great way to held a party while the march of the snowmen is ongoing. Also? have I told you that there are snowmen walking around the island? you should check that out and see for yourself! ;-)

Ciao~

Zing's 41th Prize & Expressing Wackiness!

OHHAITHER!

Well, today's monday right? you know what that means right? its a new item right? from zing ballyhoo on the right! =O

Again, you need to give in 10 golden tickets that are scattered across the island to get the prize. Easy, and filled with fantastic prizes! For this week's prize, its a retro background! (you can still choose the 500 gold prize if you want. >:-) ) Hoorah~! :-)

Its a background with speakers and the word 'RetroStyle' in it. (ho ho! first, it was a headphone. Now its a retro background... I hope its a 'guitar' or a 'piano' for the next prize. :3)

It looks... like this when viewing your player card. ;-)

That's not the only good news for today... today, January 17, 2011, Henry officially announced that today is 'Manic Day'! He somehow stated that it'll be like an appetizer for the upcoming march of the snowmen. He ordered to wear your wackiest clothes, most mixed-up outfits and to get ready for some blast! He'll be also doing surprise visits alongside with Sheriff. I'm not particularly sure if I'll do my luck finding him, but I hope you guys do. He said, "You can look for me between 9-10am Pandanda Time, and again between 1-2pm Pandanda Time." Well, good luck finding them guys. Have fun! :-)

Ciao~
