High Top Contests

COLLAR AND WRISTBAND
Hey! Today's new item is a pair of high top sneakers, which reminds me of those Converse-brand footwear I talked about last week. Remember how everyone wears them? Well, AJHQ decided to create an Animal Jam pair....


They've got the flat platforms, the laces, and even the side logo! I've seen enough of these popular shoes. But, I have to admit- they do look pretty good on most animals. No wonder people like them!


^.^

As you can see, today's final clue to the mystery is a BIG, REVEALING one: COLLAR AND WRISTBAND! Yup, for 200,000 views the prize pool will include a Rare Spiked Collar (short purple) and a Rare Spiked Wristband (long pink). So, let's keep viewing! :D Meanwhile...

My good friend Repti is hosting a big trivia contest that he hopes for you all to enter. Here are the 10 questions:

1. What addition caused the downfall of ancient and historic fun in Jamaa?
2. What year did Animal Jam launch?
3. What is the activity the majority of Jammers do nowadays?
4. Name one solution to the "rares" problem.
5. What was the previous name of the Alphas?
6. On a scale of 1-100, how obsessed are *most* Jammers with rares?
7. Estimate the current population of Jamaa. (Hint: As of 2012, 10 million Jammers had joined.)
8. How often do you see Jamaa Township full? Estimate your answer.
9. How many Members were there per server back in 2011?
10. Originally, what color were the Bubbletrons?

Repti prefers to keep the prizes secret. :3 Include your username with your entry. Also, Repti may add any rules or notes to the contests as desired. Good luck!

Anyway, I hope you have a Jammin' weekend! See you tomorrow!

  2. 1. Rares and/or trading
    2. 2009... Didn't Beta end around 2010? 2011 wasn't in the testing time, correct?
    3. Trading
    4. There isn't really a solution that would actually work. If AJHQ put all the rare items in the stores at once, they'd loose a lot of their players. Then they wouldn't get the money they need to run AJ. AJ would shut down, so they HAVE to keep rares here. As long as rares are here, scamming is here, and as long as scamming is here, hacking is here. BUT, we CAN try to TEACH people to learn more about rares, so they can avoid getting scammed. Hacking just happens- we can't do much about it. We can't exactly prevent it, but teaching hackers might do the trick.
    5. Shamans
    6. 80%
    7. 50,000,000 (including people who have quit)

    3. Trading (and seemingly hacking/scamming)

    9. I remember there being very few when I joined, about 5 tops per server
    10. Glitchy raspberry

  19. Hmm... Let's all join!

    Repti's Trivia:
    1. Scamming and hacking.

    2. It was launched on 2010.

    3. Depends. Majority of them trades, some scams and some puts a stop to them scammers.

    4. (Hmm... If they're out in the stores, people would mob AJHQ.) So, I guess the best solution is that to make others' realise what rare means. It's better to have a rare heart of friendship than a rare items. -winks and Dew-

    5. Alphas were called Shamans back then, explaining the "mystery" of the Shaman Rug in Coral Canyons Art Studio.

    6. Rare obsessed? Probably like about 70% obsessed, 20% not so obsessed and 10% not obsessed. (Well, I'm basically in the 20% part, so... I'm kind of obsessed with what I already have, not what others' have.)

    12. Probably about 11 million by now because hackers and scammers make so many fake accounts, so does trackers and people pretending to be "F-man".

    8. Depends, mostly. Sometimes, Jamaa Township is full, sometimes not. Usually depends on the server. On a not-so-popular server, I'd say it would be like 0-1 time and popular one? It can be up to 12 tries of clicking before entering Jamaa Township. (I don't really understand this question.)

    9. About 30 per server. Members were basically "rare" to spot at the time, especially when it was the late 2010 and early 2011.

    10. Bubbletron... Well, I thought it was a Member's Monthly Gift. Anyway, they were... Green-blue? (HEY, don't ask me. Like, I don't get Member Gifts).

    Bonus Question:
    Gloves. Gloves such as Lava Glove, Legendary Glove. Amazingly, people who weren't even members GOT the Jam-a-Gram with the gloves as a gift, persuading them to be a member. Pretty smart, huh?


    (P.S. Dew, you okay? RainbowCat1 told me your account was like error or something.)

  24. Actually scratch answer 4, don't completely put them in stores, just make it more likely to get them in adventures, or AJHQ randomly hands them out to ppl, although some don't understand, that the more of the item there are, the less rare it is.
