April 16 Update 2015

I totally posted yesterday, but I saved it instead of published it. Yeah. Let's go with that.

If you click on the pet geckos icon, it links you to the Geckos song video in Sarepia Theatre, which is pretty cool. And no, unfortunately, geckos are not a new playable animal, they are in fact a pet that AJ made a big deal about, and can be bought in the overpriced diamond shop.

 

 

Yes, you buy a retail gift card with real money, and you get a FREE SPRING BUNNY! What a deal! Plus, 3 cute den items that are EXLUSIVE to that gift card, which you BUY, until July! Wow!

 

The cruise ship party is back, but nothings changed. And I'm sure everyone is dying for Polar Bears to make their dramatic reappearance.

 

 

You can find the Earth Day banners throughout Jamaa to give you 'Fun Facts' about Earth Day when you click on them, and the Best Guess game has more added questions, because everyone plays that game for hours on end and people were getting bored of the old questions.

 

Expect a new map next update, because they may need more room if this is a new land. But maybe it's not. I think it might be a new den, because we already have a Crystal Sands as a beach, so why another one? What do you guys think it is?

 

Actually, I'm betting a den, because the pet gecko wasn't that big of a deal, but AJ made it one.

 

Also, they finally got rid of the Winter loading screens! Not that there's anything wrong with Winter, but I was getting sick of them.

 

 

My favourite is the fox one. Aint it cute?

 

I give tis update... 8/10, because of the 'coming soon' and the new loading screens.

"Beta" Items That Aren't Beta

As the title suggests, I'm going to talk a little bit about items that people think are beta because they don't know the difference between beta and out of stores. Also so that when I correct people in Jamaa Township for being really silly, I have proof. So, first item of conspiracy.

Fox Tail Chair

Ah, the Fox Tail Chair. Whenever people see it on trade, they always try to get it, and may end up trading a lot more than it's worth. The Fox Tail Chair is not beta. It was sold on August the 24th 2012, 2 whole years after beta. It stayed in stores for quite a while until some time last year (I think), it was removed from stores.

 

Backpack

I think this item is less commonly mistaken for a beta item, but I'm putting it up here anyway.

 

The Backpack was a member item sold on September 1st, 2012 in Jam Mart Clothing, and was later moved to the Cocoa Hut clothes shop thing about last year, or was it the year before? I don't know, I have terrible track of time like this, but you get the point. It's not beta.

 

 

There are many more too, so make sure you don't always take peoples word when they say "My items are beta"

 

If you wanted to get extremely technical, there is a lot of valuable stuff that was part of the member gifts in 2011, like the Spiked Collars and wristbands, the different Ice, Lava ect. archways, and rare clouds, snowy, rainy ect. But these are still worth a lot, and since they were in the beginning of 2011 right after he beta period, they can still be considered beta.

 

Hope I helped clear things up. I just hate it when people call out of store stuff betas.

April Fools Party 2015

I know I'm really late and stuff but I can finally go into the April Fools Party Yayayayayay!

The menu looks the same as time too.

You start off in a totally back-to-front Castle den too, just like last year, but there are a few new things. Btw I'm jump breaking this post because it's really long.

Item History: Worn Blanket

"Just wanna say, don't know what we're doing here but I am loving these fake moustaches."
~Mabel, Gravity Falls

Ah, the worn blanket. I remember a few years back, where, like top hats today, everyone who as anyone wanted worn blankets. They've died down in popularity these days though, which is the path that the Fox Hat went down too, which is unfortunate since the Fox Hat is one of my favourite non member items.

Anyway, enough about the sad stuff. I've done research from many websites, so if you don't know this stuff, here it is. If you do, don't worry about it :D

They were released in October of 2012, and were never resold. As of 2012, you could win some by reaching the top in Sky High, but I don't know if they are still winnable.

The originals come in 8 colours; blue, black, red, brown, indigo, pink, green and cream. This is what a black one looks like.

 

The not nearly as rare ones, the light purple and the light blue, are both rares. The purple one was sold at the February 23 2012 Leap Year Party, and the blue one was sold on June 9 last year.

 

 

The Daily Explorer posted about that.

 

Before it was called the "Worn Blanket", it was called the "Sleek Worn", and then the "Old Blanket". I personally like the idea of it being the "Sleek Worn". It sounds classier, you know?

 

I have really wanted to post about the April Fools Party, but you know why I haven't? It's because I have the worst timing ever and I am never on when it is on. Speaking of which, while I was looking for it, I came across a peculiar glitch.

 

 

I'm pretty sure, but don't quote me, that the party isn't supposed to be scrolled to half way down.

 

Well, see ya.

 

 

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".

Lucky Party update and Dress Game Glitch

Heyyyyyy. I'm quite pleased to make this post, because the lucky party is one of my favourite parties. Maybe it's because I love green? Or maybe it's because I've been waiting all year for the items.

 

Now, I said I love update, not the Journal. You want to know why? It's because this Jamaa Journal is a very sorry excuse for a Jamaa Journal. The only new thing is the front page. All other pages are exactly the same. Just to emphasise my frustration, I'm not going to leave any comments for the other pages.

 

 

 

 

Ha! Take that AJ!

 

The only difference with these pages are that the ponies was the front page of the last update, and the Friendship Party reminder is shorter. Other than that, it's basically just a reminder of what we already know. It's very disappointing.

 

But I suppose I shouldn't be as angry, because it's an in between the actual update update. But still.

 

 

Also, the Heart Couch is going to have it's last day for this year. I actually don't mind this part, because the Heart Couch is my least favourite heart themed item. Also, when I saved it I spelt couch wrong so it came out as 'counch'.

 

There is another thing I'm excited about. My ultimate favourite den item, the Clover Fountain.

 

 

It just looks so fancy and professional!

 

Now to end this once again late post which I'm sorry for by the way, a weird glitch with the Dress Up game (I've had a mind blank and forgotten what it's called).

 

 

I get this pretty much every time I play, which is probably why I never win. What I love about this game though I that as long as you vote, you can still get 25 gems for coming last. Or is that with every game?
