Random Saturday Ep 25: Parties


Hello, this is another Random Saturday, about parties. 

Parties are events you can go to by selecting the balloon & hat icon from the top of your screen, and then choosing the party you want to go to. Parties last for half an hour each, and every time one ends, another begins. 

There are a couple categories of party. Some occur year-round, like the Dinner Party and Call of the Alphas. Many are seasonal, with seasons including AJ’s birthday, the end of summer, Valentine’s Day, St. Patricks Day, New Years’, etc. Seasonal parties are generally themed around the season they show up in. 

Some parties are exclusive to people who have either specific animals, types of animals, or pets. These include penguins, horses, monkeys, bunnies, all types of wolf, flying animals, any pets, underwater animals, and whatever the animal of the Chinese New Year is currently for that party. 

Most parties have shops, where they sell items related to the party theme. The only parties that don't have these are Best Guess and Call of the Alphas. 

Some parties are unique compared to the others. There is the Paradise Party and Call of the Alphas, both of which have Journey Book pages. Call of the Alpha’s page has 3 sections, and thus three prizes (which I think are creepy, but eh). There’s also Best Guess, which operates like a game, where you have to pick whether a statement is true or false, and you get gems if you’re right. 

There are also player parties. For 1 diamond, members can create their own party, choosing the music, setting, and name. There are 8 settings, and each has its own shop and theme. Parties last 1 hour. 

Bye!

Society Update: Update to the COC

What's up every---

Wait. It's not posting day.

Well, I do need to do a quick update to the COC. As of now, we have had quite a number of members who were removed from the society due to inactivity. They can choose to return, but they will be under probation for a while before we release them from probation. If they get removed due to inactivity for 3 times, they will be not be allowed to rejoin.

Note that this does not apply to members who willingly quit, or told us beforehand.

More details can be found in the last point in the COC.

That's all, until next post!

Random Saturday Ep 24: Ads in AJPW


What's up everyone! Today, I bring you the next installment of Random Saturdays! Today, I'm going to talk about the presence of ads in AJPW. Without further ado, let's go!

So, AJPW recently decided to introduce ads into the game. It's not the kind of ad that pops up oncd every certain time interval. Rather, it's the kind of ad that you can choose to watch in order to earn rewards.

At the time of writing this, I have found two places where we can watch ads for rewards. 

First, we can watch ads in treasure hunts to earn more keys to unlock more boxes. Generally, we are allowed to watch one ad per animal we own, and each ad gives us 3 more keys. If we have a lot of animals, watching these ads will be a good way to collect more experience points for levelling up, if we have the time and patience to do so.

The other place where we can watch ads for rewards is the sapphire shop. You may have noticed a new, blue chest next to the place where we can buy music in the sapphire shop. That chest will give us one random item from the random item list for every ad we watch. The good thing is, that sapphires are included in the random item list, so it is possible to earn sapphires from watching ads.

The ads that we can watch are generally child-friendly. Mostly, they are ads for new children's toys. Occasionally, I see ads for a game like 1010.

I personally feel that this is a good addition to the game. It is yet another way for non-members to grind for sapphires. Also, rares and sapphire shop items are also included in the random item list, which is another huge plus. All in all, the ads are not annoying pop-up ads, and I feel that it is a good change to the game.

That's all from me today! Till next time!

Monthly Update - June

What's up everyone! Today I bring you the monthly update of June!

First, members will be automatically removed from the society should they fail to post all assigned posts of the month. The code of conduct has been updated to reflect this new rule.

Next, I regret to report that Gamma Tiger has been removed from the society due to the above new rule. Though, it is possible for them to reapply via the application form.

Next, I apologise on behalf of the whole society for the low posting this month. Sorry bout that!

Finally, I'd like to inform you that postings will be reduced this month (July). This is due to the lack of members we currently have.

That's all the news today. Signing off,
