Introducing Mountains Monday

Okay, okay, excuse the awkward alliteration, but I felt it worked nicely. Let me explain what the plan is though. Since it’s a new year, every Monday, I’m hoping to make a post not related to anything in-game.

I’ve held a few polls to try and establish a schedule, but this is really flexible and can easily be tweaked as things move on. So here’s what I’m thinking:

• 1st Monday of the month: interview with someone about a specific topic
• 2nd Monday of the month: a memory from classic Club Penguin
• 3rd Monday of the month: giveaway for half a dozen or so Card Jitsu cards (physical merchandise)
• 4th Monday of the month: this is something I’m still working on!
• 5th Monday of the month: either another memory or another Card Jitsu giveaway (there’s only a few months with five Mondays)

The overall idea is to create posts which involve the community, because I think that could be really fun! So here’s a little about each one.

Featuring igloos: the concept behind this is that some particularly beautiful igloos could be featured on this blog, in order to inspire others on how to use some of the furniture currently available. In a poll, 83% of people were interested by this idea, so I think it could be fun and I wanted to give it a shot.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a igloo! In order to avoid conflicting with another community project which revolves around igloos, I’ve decided not to feature igloos. I’m unsure what it’ll be replaced with, but I’m sure you’ll see soon!

Interview with a someone about a specific topic: this, well, I have no clue how this will turn out. The intention is to pick a topic, and analyse someone’s views on it. There will be some light-hearted and some serious ones. 83% voted for this, and I’ll try to make them interesting and enjoyable. You can find the first one here, which is an interview with rsnail, the creator of Club Penguin.

Memory from classic Club Penguin: this could literally be anything: an event, party, room, mascot, but it’ll be something completely random. I thought it’d be fun to do something random and obscure like this, and it could be quite nostalgic. (96% voted for this)

Giveaway for 5 or 6 Card Jitsu cards: after the Holiday Giveaway, many people enjoyed the Bonus Questions. It’s quite tricky to have too many giveaways due to postage, but a surprising number of people are interested in Card Jitsu cards (90% voted for this idea). This will provide an opportunity to hold some more challenging questions too!

So as you can gather, these are a variety of posts, and they may be tweaked on the future depending on your feedback. I hope you’ll enjoy them, and check out the first one here!

Waddle on!
