April 2nd 2015 Update - Spring Adventure

Hey guys. Homework is over and school holidays are here! And to commemorate, a great new update! (Spotted any hints of sarcasm?) I don't know if it's in order but whatevs.

 
A new adventure for Spring. It is very similar to the adventure at the end of last year. Basically, you have to collect 100 eggs, and you get prizes depending on how many you get.
 
 
You collect eggs of all different colours, and as you collect them, you get different prizes. You can also get prizes by doing the following:
 
 
There are plants that look like this scattered throughout the flowery land. If you water them using the wells, they bloom.
 

 
After they bloom, treasure comes out.
 


 
Since I don't have much time today, I just collected 15 eggs to show you the prizes I got. I'll come up with a list of them later on, maybe tomorrow.

 
I also got another flowering tree which I forgot to take a photo of, and it looks bigger and more of a hot pink colour compared to the flowering orange tree.

 
There are also gem treasure chests in this adventure.

 
 
Another great adventure if you're low on gems (like me).
 
There's also a very pretty flowering tree patch I found.

 
And if you head North when you start, you will see this.

 
Unlike most adventures, there's no guide at the beginning telling you what to do and how to do it. There are many guides you can ask though by clicking the '!' above their heads as you walk past.
 
 
I actually quite like the Deep Space items this update.
 

 
AJ always finds an excuse for people to spend more at the Diamond Shop. Polar bears are leaving in two weeks.

 
Some sort of reptile, like a lizard or a dinosaur (that would be so awesome!), or maybe a snake, is coming soon, aka in about 2-3 more updates.  
 
Really hoping it's a dinosaur!!!!!!

Frustrating and Stupid Things You Can't Say on Jam A Grams

I'm sick of them! I'm sick of Jam a Grams and how limited they are, even to things that DONT MEAN ANYTHING BAD like, oh my goodness, seriously.

Examples:

What's so bad about saying the word 'would'? We use this word everyday in regular normal speech, so why can't we say it in AJ?

This is only helpful if you like being 'adopted' in the pillow room, but still.

I think part of the reason everyone calls them 'spikes' instead of 'spiked' is because you can't actually write the word 'spiked' in jam a grams.

What the heck? You can't say sorry to someone? How are you supposed to apologise?

This was supposed to say "Your the bomb" but it didn't let me put in the 'm'. I suppose this one is understandable, but in this context it's not actually bad. It's a compliment!

What if someone is bullying you, or won't stop following you? How are you supposed to tell them to back off? Oh, I know, 'Report and Block them', but that won't help with the following issue. You don't want to play AJ with some creep following you everywhere!

Same rule applies. What if someone won't leave a party that they are using to bully everyone? Or a friends den and your friend is inexperienced and doesn't know how to lock people out?
 
By the way, I am quite grateful for AJ giving us the ability to lock people out of our dens, because people used to come to my den and just stay there and not lave and you couldn't do anything about it.

You can't apologise either! Why????? How else are you supposed to say sorry? Apart from this list of words from the top of my head which I'm pretty sure you can't say in the jam a grams either: contrite, conscience-stricken, guilt-ridden, penitent, repentant, self-accusing, shamefaced. My favourite is shamefaced.
 
But you get my point! It's so annoying when you are trying to communicates and it doesn't let you say anything, so you have to say things like "what you want for that spike" or "I do no like that".
