Christmas Time

I am alive everyone! Muahahaha! Yes, after massive amounts of homework and procrastination, I am finally back for the holiday! Speaking of the blog, I am aware it is still on the halloween theme, oops! I'll try to switch that as soon as I can.

I am here to talk about annoying people on AJ (and some trolling too, teehee). The other day my friend Hunnybadger saw a thread on a website for Animal Jam titled "free memership." She wanted to see what it was (knowing it was a scam, obviously) and this is what it said:

"hey animaljamcentral plz plz plz plz plz plz give me a membership I am homeless I am only at my uncles house right now we walked all the way here so plz plz plz plz give me a membership

P.S. its my b-day tomorrow so plz this would be a dream come true"

Even if this is true (which if could be) I hate when people beg, especially giving bad situations they're in so people feel bad for them. This reminds me of when I was very young and I would constantly play on Webkinz. I was in the trading room a lot, so I saw a lot of things like that. For example, I remember a couple of times seeing people say:

"My mom died, I am crying and I really want *insert rare and popular item here*. Please make me happy and send it to me!"

I thought, and still think that these types of things are shallow. Even though scamming and begging for items already is shallow, pretending a family member died or making up an elaborate story for a pixel item is just terrible. Another incident that HunnyBadger experienced was about Santa Claus. There were apparently a bunch of animals hopping in the middle of Jamaa Township saying

"HOP IF U THINK SANTA IS REAL SIT IF U DONT" so HunnyBadger sat and said "well what if you don't celebrate christmas" then they blew up saying stuff like "IF UR SITTING U WILL GET COAL" "U MY HERO SANTA" "OMG ARCTIC U DONT BELIEVE IN SANTA" "I FEEL BAD FOR U" "SANTA SO REAL" "I LUV SANTA" "I GET EVERYTHING I WANT"

I asked her if she could take some snapshots, but they had sadly migrated to somebody's den by then.

So during this holiday season, remember not to act like the people listed above ^.^ You're so much better than that.  Thanks for reading

Saturday (?) Funny!

Leave now, all 15 year olds

I'm in a really terrible mood right now, so I'm trying to blog the pain out.

Disclaimer: I don't hate all 15 year olds, but I honestly don't think they should not be on a game like Animal Jam that is targeted to younger players. The result is players that hack, bully, and are down right annoying.

What happened that instead of going with my friend HunnyBadger to Serepia Forest I ended up in a fight with three people, all much older than me. I was trying to troll, but it seemed that a wolf (we'll call him Commander because that's all I remember of his nametag) was being rude to someone else. And me being the stuck up person that I am, decided to barge in. Commander was insulting someone, and because they seemed older from the way they talked; I told them to stop playing a kids game. They said "right back at ya" and "says the person who paid for the game" which made my blood boil, and I made a decent comeback but then they responded and I lost it. A koala named Infinity was a jerk as well, and Commander ended up with the last laugh, as did Infinity when they blocked me. I was angry/bored so I went over to her sleeping koala and I jumped on her. And with Commanders apparent dirty mind said "That's messed up Snow!" and Infinity followed along and said she reported me for 'bad behavior'. A cheetah then came over to me, and didn't end up blocking me so I had an argument with her. And of course, they all used the age card saying "Can't get sleep because of 8 year olds" and I told her I was much older than eight. And that's when they revealed their age, they were all 15 and one was 14. So basically they were picking on me because I was a few years younger .-. I got super angry and said my age (which I regret a lot) and I really hope I don't get banned.

*Long breath of air* I guess that's my post for today. Sorry if you find my rant posts kind of annoying >.<

Moar Pet Peeves

I am back for the weekend! *happy dance* But not everything is happy right now. I'm on AJ late at night and those two things do not sit well with me. I get really irritated by the slightest thing which does not end up well for people who act annoying. Which is why I'm here to complain more yaaaaaay

So my two newest pet peeves:

Randomly Locking Dens: 

This annoys me SO much, especially if you're actually doing something and/or starting a rp. For example, we were starting a warrior cats rp tonight and then randomly the person leading the thing glitched, left the game the den locked. What the heck!? That got me pretty angry. With this new feature comes great responsibility; that means you don't lock people out when you are bored.

Tricking people for 'teh laughs'

This has happened a few times before-- and the idea of going to their den isn't outrageous, it's usually just a fashion show or 'look at something cool in my den.' And then they end it by locking the den and laughing at their unamusing joke.

What's your opinion? Has the den locking feature done more bad than good? Leave your opinions in the comments! <3 (I'm also starting the monthly favorites in October, if anyone was wondering)

Thank you for the 2,000+ views! I can't believe people have actually been viewing my blog after me not posting for a week ;A;

Terrible AJ Vids

I've pretty hooked on YouTube LPs as of recent, so naturally I roam around on the Animal Jam side and I see really terrible videos. Videos about how to scam, hack, bully and everything else under the sun. Is this seriously what Animal Jam has morphed into??

For example:

\

By just looking "animal jam how to" you get these results. The first two are how to cheat and get free membership and the fifth is how to hack. This is really upsetting. Are there that many people who like to spend their time hacking into a site where a large portion of the players are under the age of 13?? 

And....um... if you simply looking up 'animal jam' one of the first results will be 'animal jam mating' .-. Just WHY. Has anybody else seen anymore disturbing or upsetting AJ vids? I'd like to make another post with more than one example. And I'm kind of curious lol

Otters are ruining everything

You heard. Otters are going to be the death of me. Annoying people complain about the otters are everywhere!

"Why do all the pets cost diamonds?"

"I need an otter!"

"No fair! Show off!"

I personally, give 0 craps about this new pixel pet. Animal Jam is fun while it lasts and once you turn older, who is going to care about the otter pet you never got? Most likely no one. Sure, the otters were cute, but no need to get upset over it. So please, people who want the otter and feel the need to complain on AJ, please stop.

Now excuse me while I go get my picture taken for school .-. Gaaah! My whole room smells like hair spray. I hope the teachers know I'm missing a new episode of my favorite show for this.

I'm in a terrible mood

Hey everyone! This post is hopefully going to be short, but knowing me it won't be. I just want to say that I may not be posting anything today or next week at this time. Next week I'm going to a family wedding and I'll probably be gone two days. As for today... it's a semi long story. I'm sure nobody will really care about what happened but I feel like when I tell people about things it makes me feel better. So please excuse this random post.

Note: If you have a phobia of pointy objects or the doctor, I suggest you do not read. 

Okay, so almost a year ago to this day, I went to the doctor. Nothing serious, nothing major happened. The problem started with a shot. You're probably like, 'so what, it was a shot. no biggie.' And that is true, but that isn't the reason. I went home and on my old account (which I deleted) and blogged about one of the shots hurt really bad. And this shot is what started it all. It took nearly a week for the pain to stop, and even then it hurt every so often. Then a few months later, it started twitching. Yes, twitching. I wouldn't even move the muscle, it would just twitch D: It would go on for about a day whenever I put any pressure on it. Then it would stop. Then a few months later the same thing would happen again in the same place the shot happened. And through the year, it happened about 3-4 times. It happening again today and I freaked out. I told my mom about it and she can't call the doctors until Monday.

Has anybody else had this happen to them? Any idea on what is happening? :S Once again, sorry about this whole drama, just needed to blog about my issues.

AJ Pet Peeves

IDK, just something different for once instead of hacking and scamming stuff. So let's start! :D

1. When the person leaves the adventure when you're half way through. 
2. People who put items on trade but doesn't intend to trade them. 
3. Going to a store and when you have to trade for the items the owner insists that you give them your rarest item. 
4. Annoying people who go to places and start saying random things like "YOLO" and "Swag". 
5. People who try to break the ice or canyon and invite people to help them. 
6. Terrible and obvious scams that don't even make sense.
7. Scammers and hackers in general. 
8. Fail trolls.
9. Trust trading. 
10. Rude jammers.
11. People that buddy you for no reason and never talk to you again. 
12. When people buddy you just so they can get an item you have.
13. Jammers who go around reporting players for no reason.
14. People who offer Monday Rares on beta items. 
15. Cool people you want to buddy but have their friend requests are off. 
16. Peace makers who like to butt into a conversation/argument and try to stop it.
17. Age 15+ players on AJ 
18. People who try to get free items by begging. 
19. Animal Jam logging you out when you're in the middle of something (grrr)
20. Jammers who only want parents/boyfriends/girlfriends that are members. 

Hopefully this didn't offend anyone, that wasn't the purpose. What are your pet peeves on AJ? Thanks for viewing!

HEARTBROKEN

Okay, sorry in advance for this post but I am SO PISSED. What happened is that I accidentally traded my rare pink bow away because I'm stupid. I traded it away because I was an idiot. Yep. My friend gave it to me and she told me she really liked it and I had been begging for one for EVER. So finally she traded one to me and I rejoiced to the heavens! Then fast forward about 2 years to today and I'm desperately trying to get a headress or at least something good out of my beta flooring when a jammer offers on my bow. I'm not actually sure why my bow was on trade, but it was, so I looked at the trade long and hard for about 30 seconds. They offered a spiked collar, a milkshake hat (which I've wanted for the longest time) and 2 more crappy items that I knew I wouldn't want. But of course because I'm not really good in the art of realizing-what-is-rare-and-what-isn't I traded it away. I was so happy for about 2 seconds because reality hit and I realized I just traded a very rare item away that I would not get back easily. Then I was like 'okay, okay. pigsloth, you have a spiked collar now you--- ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?' it turned out to be one from the diamond shop! I can't believe it! I had been trying all day long to get something good before my membership ran out. And the other day I was going to post something about me accidentally trading away a rare sword because I jumped to conclusions and didn't realize that I was trading for something that costed 300 gems in the shop. So yeah.... basically I've traded away something near and dear to me and I can't get it back to me. *sigh*

Rude Jammers

Welcome back to my blog! This is a quick post because it's extremely late and I need to go bed soon. But I just need  to get this off my chest. I don't expect anybody to read this completely but I just want to rant. I'll give you a backstory; I joined Animal Jam in 2011 when I was younger than I am now. I was less mature (even though I'm considered very mature for my age) and didn't really know how to deal with rude people. And let me tell you: I dealt with them. A lot. 

I haven't struggled much in the past year or so because as I said before I'm not as social because half of my friends I knew left me because they were jerks tbh. Luckily I've found nicer people but they still aren't as on as much I am (I spend half of my life on the internet, I swear). But right now I've found the worst people I've ever dealt with on Animal Jam. I'll give you a synopsis of what they said:

I enter Animal Jam on a very empty server only to find 2 foxes bullying a wolf.

We'll call the girl foxes A and B.

A and B tell the boy wolf that he needs to act mature and stop acting like a nine year old. 

I watch for a while trying to figure out what is happening. I friend the wolf because these foxes are just rude as all get out. 

Foxes are still acting rude so I go up to them and tell them to shut their mouths because it's obvious what they're doing is not nice and they really need to stop. Usually I'm not the peace maker but this makes me so angry when I see people insulting other people cowardly behind computer screens. 

A (the leader of the group) tells me that it's B's birthday and that I'm 'making it worse'. 
Oh excuse me for raining on your parade! I just couldn't help but notice that you were bullying somebody! :)
And a little tip: if you want your day to go well, don't treat people like crap because you feel like it.

I tell her she should suck it up and not make it worse for other people of she wants her birthday to be a good day. A then tells me that I walked in the middle of this whole ordeal and I don't know what the guy wolf did so I decide to listen to her reasoning. A tells me that the boy wolf asked for her kik (I didn't know what a kik was at the time) and that they were "defening themeselves." 
Look, there's a fine line between defending yourselves and being a total jerk. You've crossed it. I then took the time to google what a kik is and apparently it's an app where you text total strangers. Not only that but the app is meant for 17+ but people say the main users are between 11-15. I'm not sure about you but I'm between the age of 11-15 and I can honestly say I would never use an app like this because it's perfect for total creeps and pedos to stalk you. What parent would allow their child to use an app like this?? In my opinion people who are old enough to have a kik should not be spending their time on a kid's site, that's just pathetic.

I talk for a little while still trying to prove they could just report him and moved on, but they refuse to listen and A tells B to block me. So I block them back and here I am.

B is on the left and A is on the right.

B is actually bunny23745

A is actually Xlinx

/rantover. Okay, phew. I think I'm done. That was a long post O.O Just a question, I've heard that the song Monster in my playlist can be triggering for people who have suffered from rape issues. I just ask this because I put it in mostly for the awesome dubstep, but if it's upsetting for anyone I'll remove it. Thanks for reading, bye!
