The Stone Circle

Hey Jammers! Sorry about the irregular posting, I've been really busy. Lots of basketball games, and I've also had a huge test this week. And a decent amount of homework. So, sorry about that!
Anyways, today is mystery day, right? Well today's mystery is this pretty simple adventure prize!
The Stone Circle. Simple, and decent-looking. All in all, I'd say it's a nice item. 
But why is it an adventure prize?
I mean, what do stone circles have to do with fighting phantoms? There are some stone circles here and there around the adventures, but I don't see why they'd be a prize. Why do you think they're a prize?

Phantoms Den Trick!

Hey jammers! This is a phantom den trick here! :D
You need a thundercloud, some phantom plushies, and that is it! (I'm the queen phantom. XD)
Well... Uh...
Sorry for not posting yesterday, and sorry for getting the blog schedule messed up.
Also, I saw this in Jamaa Township:

I'm getting tired of this "Members Only" thing. >.< How long does it take to realize that NMs and Members are equal?

Fox Outfit!

Hey Jammers! I've got some sad news... D:
I can't change my username, because, well, I've already changed it. D: (When I got hacked, my mom forced to change my username against my will.)
So... Yeah. Oh well. 
And, today is outfit day, right?
And I've got an outfit!

Yeah, it is member, I know. :T But you could make it non-member, by just using a clover blanket instead of a blanket, and do it on a non-member animal.
Well... It is pretty much the simple Princess Outfit. Sorry it is such a typical outfit, I was feeling really uncreative today. But, I do get a snow day tomorrow, so that is great! (As long as our pipes don't freeze, because they froze the last time we had a snowcat. .-.)
Also, the Trading Time tab has been updated! Click HERE to check it out! 
And, the Other Animal Jam Blogs tab has been updated! So click HERE to take a look at some other AJ blogs, or ask for your blog to be added to the list!
Ok, so I've probably bored you all to death by this amazingly lame post and amazingly short post, so I'm going to end it now!
Bye!
~airlec02 who doesn't feel like using her signature~

And also, does anyone have a Rare Tiara or a NM Sword they'd be willing for trade? If you do, could you maybe comment...? Thanks!
Bye!

Changing My Username

Hey Jammers! I've decided to change my AJ username! (Once again!)
I emailed AJHQ about it. The username I want is WingoftheSun. So, yeah! Why did I change my username?
1. I'm getting a deviantart account soon, and I want my AJ username, Blogger username, and devaintart username to be the same.
2. I don't like usernames with numbers anymore.
3. This username sort of reveals personal information... So I suppose it is good to change it...
Also, I haven't changed it yet, AJHQ hasn't replied. But I checked and the username is open, so I think and hope that they'll change it. But remember, it hasn't happened yet.
Well, yeah! Bye!

Scratch

Hey Jammers! Do you have a Scratch account? I have a Scratch account, and my username is silversand. I made a project about the things wrong with AJ. If you want to see it, click HERE.
(You don't need an account to view it.)
So yeah, that is it. Bye!

Invincible Leaping and Adventures

Hey Jammers! You might want to check out my earlier posts, please.
Anyways, today is... Comic day!

Leaping is invincible! The Falling Phantoms aren't hurting her! 
Also, I just finished playing Greely's Inferno! It is a really great adventure, but is really long, and I suggest playing it with other Jammers, otherwise you will spend hours trying to finish it. 
And isn't it time for The Hive to become an all-jammer adventure? I hope they make it all-jammer when the next update comes.
Well, bye!

Be the Change You Want to see in the World.

Hey Jammers! This is going to be a quick post.

Credit to numnum13
This is a banner numnum13 made. Please post this banner everywhere, but give numnum13 credit!
And there is a question on it. 
Is that what want?
This is a banner I made. Please post it everywhere too! ^.^ And you don't have to give credit. 
The reason we made these banners is because me and numnum13 are upset about what is happening to AJ. 
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
That is what I'm trying to do- I'm trying to be the change I want to see. 
And we should ALL be the change we want to see. 
BTW...
So exciting! 2 people reading at the same time! :D

Changing Jamaa

It has come to my attention that something has to be done about all the drama and Jamaa. So many Jammers are quitting because of drama, scamming, hacking, too much membership business, rares, and ect. I emailed AJHQ about it.
This is my email:
AJHQ-
Animal Jam MUST change.
Why, you may wonder?
1. Too much drama
2. Too much scamming/hacking
3. Membership has gone overboard
4. Rare nonsense
You see, every time I log in, there has been some sort of bullying going on. This bullying has to stop. Countless Jammers have quit because of bullying.
Scammers and hackers have been doing their nasty work way too often. And they're unstoppable. Especially that one hacker, Fman122, who attaches a virus to a gift in a Jam-A-Gram. When you receive the gift, and you accept the gift, you get logged out. Log back in, and your stuff is gone.
You've been hacked.
In fact, and Fman 2nd account attempted to hack me, only about a week ago.
You know it is fman122 by the animal's name. Fman122 names all his animals "Awesome Sunnybrave", and his wolves look just like that. And read the username. Look at it closely.
I know that is not solid evidence that that Jam-A-Gram is someone trying to hack me, but lots of Jammers know not to accept a gift from someone who looks remotely like Fman122. Fman122 has to be stopped.
In fact, I was hacked in November, 2013. I couldn't log in, my parent email had been changed, all my stuff was gone, my animals and dens had been recycled, and I was impersonated. That is why AJ has to change. I'm not going to play a game where people are going to hack and scam everybody else.
There has been too many member items lately. The last all-jammer item was the Snow Shovel, and that came out over 20 days ago. You can't bring out a new all-jammer item once a month! I know that members give you your money, and I agree that membership is a good thing for Jamaa. I just think that you should be a little fairer about it. And people are making members only parties, like this.
I am the bunny, named Captain Cottonclaws. Non-members are beginning to feel ashamed about not having membership, and they shouldn't be. And bringing out so much member stuff only makes non-members feel even worse about not being members.
Rares are great! They're fun to collect and trade. But when Jammers get too worked up over rares, no one likes them. I think that rares are a great addition to the game, and that without rares, AJ wouldn't be the same. It is just that Jammers are getting bullied because they aren't rare enough, or someone is forcing them to give them their rares. I think that Jammers just need to be reminded that rares don't decide whether you are a good person.
These are the reasons. There aren't that many, but each reason is making me like AJ less and less each passing day. This had got to change. Do you know how many Jammers (bloggers, to be specific) are quitting? Because of this?
Kinyonga, MetroLeaf, Edwingrim2, vms915. That is 4 Jammers who have loved AJ, and they are quitting because of these changes in Jamaa.
I know. It is easier said than done. AJHQ would've done something long ago if they knew how to stop this.
I've got a few ideas.
1. If your monitors catch a jammer saying something like "Trade me! I decline!" Or "Best trade wins ____!" Or "Best gift wins _____!", or any other common scam, suspend them, but only for a day. That would put an end to scamming.
2. Sometimes, in cyber-bullying on AJ, Jammers say things like "-kicks-" or "*punches*" or "-pushes and knocks to ground-" or other violent things like that. However, it is hard to tell the difference between that when it is used for bullying, and role playing. But since role playing mainly occurs in Sariepia Forest, you could check it out when things like that are said not in Sareipia Forest. I know it is not the best advice, but that's the best advice I have.
3. I think this is quite an easy thing to do. Simply release a all-jammer item, or make an adventure be for all-Jammers, or make an all-jammer rare item Monday. It is as simple as that. I strongly think that it is time for the adventure The Hive to become non-member.
4. A little notification, saying something like "Remember Jammers, rares are fun to collect and trade, but don't let rares make you think you are a bad jammer! Everyone is a great jammer!" Or some thing like that. And maybe even a note against scamming and hacking, reminding Jammers not to trust Jammers who ask for your password, or Jammers who promise you something in return for an item. Something as simple as a reminder that rares aren't the world would help.
That is that. Simple advice, but something had to be done. Otherwise I will quit, and a lot of other Jammers along with me.
Please, AJHQ. The whole of Jamaa is depending on you.
Sincerely,
airlec02

Please, please read it thoroughly!

I got an email in response from AJHQ. 
But guess what?
It was an automatic email.
Great. AJHQ won't read the my email. :T
But there is a way to make sure that AJHQ knows what is wrong with Jamaa, and that us, as Jammers, care about Jamaa and want to solve those problems. 
That's why I emailed them- to notify them about Jamaa's problems.
But AJHQ can easily ignore one email, from one jammer.
But do you know what they can't ignore? 
They can't ignore lots of emails from lots of Jammers, telling AJHQ what is wrong wit Jamaa and some advice on how to fix it. 
So I ask, please... If you have an email, just simply send then this:

AJHQ,
Animal Jam is filled with too much bullying,  drama, scamming and hacking, and not enough stuff for nonmembers. AJ has GOT to change. Somehow. 
Best,
(Your username)

If you have an email, please send them that with your username signed at the bottom. You can just copy that and paste it onto your email.
I'm trying to make a petition-like thing. Because I don't want to see AJ turn into a place full of chaos.
It is time to save Jamaa.
Thanks.

Where am I?

Hey jammers! The moment I log into AJ, a glitch happens!
Captain Cottonclaws! Where are you?! *runs around frantically, searching for Captain Cottonclaws*
 You naughty rabbit! I've been looking for you everywhere! You shouldn't go running off! *goes into rant about hiding from me* XD
Really? You're the only one left? You're the rarest? :O 
Notification: The one and only rare purple dragon is now in Jamaa!
And also, just a little funny thing...
I forgot to log off of my AJ account, and my sister numnum13 got on. I was in Sariepia Forest, not doing anything, because I wasn't on. Crowded around me were a bunch of wolves saying:
*snatches bunny and sets lightly on a tree*
"Don't be a rabbit eater!"
"Don't hurt the bunny!" *hits*
"I don't trust you no matter what you do." 
*smacks*
I thought the whole thing was a little amusing, especially because I wasn't in, and had merely forgotten to log off.
Also, I just wanted to say that Kinyonga is leaving Animal Jam. I'd just like to mention that Kinyonga, you were one of my favorite bloggers, and I'm really sad that you're leaving. I'll miss you, but I completley understand why you're leaving. 
Bye, Kinyonga.
(You can visit Kinyonga's blog, the Animal Jam Times, HERE.)
Well, that's it for today! Bye!

More Drawings

Hey jammers! I just finished some more drawings!
 (c) airlec02
That's Leaping Futurespirit, my second favorite animal. I think it looks nice. :)
Also, I made some AJ wolf lineart!
Sorry it's got the black dots. ^.^
Anybody can use it, but please don't erase my name down in the corner. ^.^
And don't worry, I'll still post today's glitch.
Well, bye!

Drawings

Hey jammers! I'm not posting a den trick... I completley forgot about that. So, I'm not posting a den trick, and I can't now, as I'm posting this on my nook.
Anyways, I spent FOREVER drawing this!
(c) airlec02
Hehe. I am very proud of it. 
It's my signature animal, Captain Cottonclaws! In her/his (I've never decided on a gender for Captain Cottonclaws. XD) signature outfit!
I like that her/his head's too big, he/she doesn't have fur, her/his headfeather is tiny, and the scarf looks terrible. And yet, I still love it.
I'm also working on a drawing of Leaping Futurespirit, my 2nd favorite animal. I made a sketch of her.
(c) airlec02
So that is Leaping Futurespirit! Now I just have to color her. :3 I'm also working on an AJ wolf lineart, which should be done by tomorrow. 
And sorry about not posting the den trick! I had just finished coloring Captain Cottonclaws when Mom told me to get off the computer.
Also, do you think I should start a thing were I draw other jammers animals, dens, and ect.? I'm not sure if I should... What do you think?

Members...!!! >:U

Members...! >:U
The title of this post does not mean that members are bad in any way. All it means is that the way people act, sometimes, because they're members, is bad.
-.-
I went, to see what would happen.
2 nms came. The actic wolf hosting the party walked up to them and said, "Out."
The first one left, the second one stayed.
The member hosting walked up and said, "Out. You've been here and now you can go."
The nm said,"???"
I said,"Why can't she stay?"
Arctic Wolf: only members
NM: I was only coming to say hi to my friend...!
Me: Really, why can't she stay? Why only members?
Random Deer That Also Thinks NMs Shouldn't be Allowed to Come: Yeah, go! Members ONLY!
NM: -.-
Arctic Wolf: out!
Nm: Fine. Bye. -.-
Me: :frown face:
Me: :angry face:
Me: That wasn't needed!
Arctic Wolf: Members only, sorry.
Random Deer That Also Thinks NMs Shouldn't be Allowed to Come: well, now we got all the nms taken care of!
(I think, WHAT DO YOU MEAN TAKEN CARE OF?! YOU... YOU... TERRIBLE... JAMMER...!!!)
Me: Well, if that's how you're going to treat NMs, and you've got no better explanation to why it is a "Members Only Party" than "members only", then bye. I'm wasting my time. =_=
Me: -leaves-
Me: -JAGs the party host and says "THAT WASN'T NICE"-
Arctic Wolf/ wolfsare100: -JAGs back "MEMBERS ONLY, SORRY"
Me: -JAGs back "STILL"
Arctic Wolf: -JAGs back "THEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE MY DEN"
Me: -JAGs back "I DID"
That was when I got off AJ.
These are those mean jammers who think they're better than everyone because of membership. If you ever see wolfsare100 remember that she isn't a fan of NMs. But don't be scared of her. The most she can do to you is make a fool of herself by bullying NMs.
>:U
*Sorry I got a little... Emotional in this post. (Emotional in an angry way.)
And guess what? 4,000 views! :D 15 followers and 4,000 views! :D

Rare Leg Armor + 15 Followers

Hey jammers! The hacker on my blogger account... I'm not sure if they know I've got a blogger. So, that's good news there. :D
Anyways, today's RIM...
Notice: Member only
I feel like there hasn't been a all-jammer item in ages. I think it's time they come out with an all-jammer item now, don't you?
Well, this rare is pretty inexpensive for a rare. But it looks sort of... Dull. Maybe a bright, happy blue and green leg armor would've been better? Or even better, AJHQ could make a brand new RIM! That would've been neat. But, this RIM isn't bad.
Just for fun, I'm going to post some "funny animal positions". XD
Leaping, are you attempting to ice skate? You might want to put on skates first before you try it.
*whispers* I think the wind is too much for Fauna! (It's supposed to be that it is windy and Fauna can't move forward, because it sort of looks like she's struggling to move forwards... Ok, I've got a strange sense of humor. XD)
And The Animal Jam Tribune now has 15 followers! Thank you so much to everyone who is a follower, and keep the follows coming! 
So, I am going to give a 2nd attempt at a party! I haven't decided the dates and everything yet, but I'll figure that put later. Bye!
Well, bye!

Strange Jammers

Everyone starts out as a new jammer. Being a new jammer teaches them how to "use AJ". New jammers are a nescessity to AJ.

She's saying "trade me a beta now"
...?
Really? It looks like  you're beta already.
And Nothing2seehere sounds like a pretty suspicious username.
So many mean jammers today... *sighs* I saw way more bullying than this while I was on, I just didn't post everything. Someone was bullying in Sarepia Forest, and a scammet was getting bullied, for, well, scamming. Whether the scammer deserved to get bullied, I don't know. But does ANYONE deserve to get bullied, no matter what they do? Bullying is cruel, it doesn't matter why you're doing it. It's cruel.

Fman is Back!

Hey jammers...
The hacker who is in my blogger account has not done anything yet... That's good, I suppose? O.O
Anyways...
O.O
And an "Awesome Sunnybrave" just walked up to me... It was really scary...
Hacking is bad.
But hacking by just accepting a gift? Not knowing whether it's even safe to open up a gift? That is REALLY bad.
All that's been happening these past few days is "Hack, Hack, hack..." >.<
Hacking needs to end. Not just on AJ, but everywhere. It has to end. In no way is it ethical, no matter how you look at it. It is completley wrong. I'm sick of hackers.
Anyways, a silly joke for today..
Really, Leaping Futurespirit...
1. It's not alive.
2. It's not alive, therefore it can not eat you.
3. If it was going to eat you, then where is the rest of its body to digest you? All it is is a head. 
4. No, it would NOT be cool if it ate you! :P
Well, have fun jamming!

Hacked- Again?!

This post is going to have to be short and quick, seeing as I have to run.
My blogger acount- maybe- has been hacked.
I have a school email account, and my school account is connected to my blogger account. My friend at school saw me on my school account while I was doing math homework. We're not certain if I was hacked, but... Thought you might want to know.
If you see strange things happening with my blogger account, I just want you to know that it is NOT me.
I mean, being hacked on AJ is bad, but when you're hacked and the hacker has access to all my school projects, email, and blogger, that is just.... REALLY bad.
Not to mention I just logged in on AJ, and I got a JAG, with a gift, from a "New Jammer" and the jammer's name was Awesome Sunnybrave. (Really, Fman? I've been hacked once- hang on, make that I've been hacked TWICE. It is not happening again.)
And I have a blister that I got from putting food in the oven, and it is killing me right now.
(Sorry I'm complaining so much. XP)

So, bye. Hope you've had a better day than me. :T

Stuck in the Door!

Hey jammers! Today's glitch is...
Stuck in the Door!
Really, Fauna? Your head is NOT gone, I can gaurantee that. It's just... Well... Hidden.
So, how to do this strange glitch!
1. Switch animals
2. Walk into a door
3. Wha-la! Done!
XD It's a strange, funny glitch, isn't it?
And have any of you seen those tiny animals around Jamaa? I wonder how they became like that... Maybe they got attacked by phantoms and the phantoms shrunk them! :O
Or maybe they got stuck in the door like the glitch, and then they couldn't get out of the door, and the door squeezed them o they became tiny...
How do you think they became tiny?
And some drawings to end this short post...

If you guessed they're both from Warriors, you're right. The first drawing is Tigerclaw and Bluestar, whe Tigerclaw attempts to kill Bluestar. The 2nd is just a portrait of Brambleclaw. :3
Well, bye! See you tomorrow- well, actually, I might not be able to post tomorrow. But anyways, bye!

Snowmen War

 Click HERE and HERE to see my other blogs!
Hey jammers! Since today is Wednesday, (I actually learned that in Greek, "Wednesday" means "Hermes Day". :P) I'll be posting a den trick! And this is it!
Really, Snowman? I said "FIRE!" and you don't do anything?
Much better. And look, it actually hit!
You could probably buy lots of Snowmen and lots of Snowcannons, and then have a little snow-war. :P
That's the den trick. It would nicer in a Snow Fort den, but I don't have one. So, that is today's trick! Sorry the post is so late, I just got home. And yes, sadly, it is a member only trick. And, well, this is also quite a short post, there wasn't anything else going on. Anways, be sure to come back and check for tomorrows post! :3 Bye!

Blog Schedule

Hey Jammers! You know, I need a more creative greeting than "Hey Jammers!" every day. Any suggestions?
Anyways, I have come to the conclusion that I don't post often enough. And, I also don't like posting the daily updates. So I have come up with a blog schedule!
Sunday: My No-Posting Day 
Monday: RIM + RIM Contest (Winner gets that weeks RIM)
Tuesday: Clothing Trick
Wednesday: Den Trick
Thursday: Glitch
Friday: Mystery of Jamaa
Saturday: Comic
So. Yeah. That is my boring, and very unoriginal, blog schedule. :3
Note: When I post these each day, they will not be in the morning. I don't have enough time to make a post in the morning. During the week, the posts will usually be around 5-7 (Eastern Time) because that is the time I usually get home.
So, yeah. Uh... Hope you like it!
And since today is a Clothing Trick day...
A clothing trick for today!
        
Completley NM! I was experimenting with NM outfits. I am quite happy with how this turned out, I'm usually not that good at designing outfits. Even though this outfit isn't really my style, I still like it, if that makes sense...
Anyways, you need:
Black Jamaaliday Scarf (Only for sale during Jamaalidays, 350 gems)
Pink Clover Blanket (Not for Sale)
Light Blue Tiara (250 gems)
So... That's that! :3 See you around Jamaa!

Harmony

Look at this picture. What do you notice? 
  • There are Arctic Wolves and Penguins
  • Everyone is happy
  • Everyone is getting along with each other
  • No Scammers

The Arctic Wolves and Penguins are playing with each other. The Arctic Wolves are playing with each other. No scammers. No chaos. That is a picture of what Jamaa should look like.
This is what Jamaa is.
Chaos. (So many jammers! x-x)
Members only.
Dating?!
Scamming... -.-
Hacking. =_= 
And bullying. (I don't have a screenshot for bullying, though.)

Nothing like the picture of happy Arctic Wolves and happy Penguins talking together... Jamaa has turned into a bunch of scammers, hackers, bullys, and chaos. 

What can we do?
Or better yet....

What will we do?
