Game Testers Needed!




Hello Penguins!

As we are nearing the finish line on the new test server we are finally adding in some of the games. They may look the same on the outside, but they are brand new code on the inside that allows us to do some very cool things.

Some of you may have noticed one of the coolest new features that we've added, "watching!" That's right, now you can watch a game in progress and cheer on your friends! It will also help you learn the games if they are still new to you.

We have already begun to squash some bugs in the games, but we need your help to find them all. Please make bug reports as detailed as possible so we can squash them once and for all!

In other news: We are working on sledding right now hoping to have that launched in the next few days. After that we are finishing up the new board game.... wait... I've said to much already.

Until then... Waddle On!

January 25, 2006 10:01 AM

Really great guys, i\'ll do everything to help. Do you mean the games are up on the test server? Mancala and sled?


Just Mancalla for now, sledding soon.

January 25, 2006 10:49 AM

cool idea can you just watch a game of mancala or can you watch beans


Just board games like Mancalla.

January 25, 2006 11:15 AM

January 25, 2006 11:16 AM

Brilliant I always thought you would do something like that. Cool. will the Lodge game be a board game like Mancal or a differnt thing?


It will be different than mancalla, but easier to play.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 11:29 AM

well im almost done testing games!!
Im glad you guys are helping us to have fun keep up the good work!!!

January 25, 2006 12:04 PM

Cool! Now i get more games to play, more cloths, and a better qulity.youu have to do SOMETHING when youre paying for the game. Although i would like a mall there!

January 25, 2006 12:04 PM

I have some great ideas!!

1:) You should have more scripture writing like this stuff-@ # $ % ^ & * ( ) } { [ ]-

2)You should upgrade the moderator base.

3:) heres a question will you have puffles as pets?

4:) We should have upstairs and basements to our igloos.

5:) We should be able to have more colors and different flags in the catalog.

6:) I think we should have a featured clothing design.

7:) We should have the mods autimatically as our buddies

8:) We could have like tuxitos star wars stuff like a lightsaber stormtrooper helmet & armor


Thanks for the ideas!

January 25, 2006 12:32 PM

hello i have a really good idea!!!!!!! okay so u know how u sign in to clubpenguin and ur ether at the town or the dock and it is still too jamed up soo maybe to prevent it is to show the map before u sign in and then u can get to choose where u want to go!!!!!!!! tell me if it\'s posiable!!!!!!!!!!
~lil cutie26


Thats a good idea, we'll have to look into that.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 12:38 PM

I can\'t wait to play mancala!!! I\'m gonna play right now!!!

January 25, 2006 12:51 PM

The new catalog will be released this weekend! We're adding a calendar to the newspaper so people know when stuff is coming out.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 1:11 PM

How is the new game comming and when will it be out


It coming along well. All the artwork is done, we just need to do some final coding once the sledding game is done.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 1:28 PM

I got a great idea!!! CAN U PLZ PLZ LET US BET ON PEOPL TO WIN ON MANALACA WELL PUT IN A NUMBER OF COINS AND IF THE PERSON U PICKED WINS U GET TWICE AS MUCH COINS AS YOU BET!!!


Sorry, but no betting in Club Penguin.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 1:29 PM

Great Job I tried it. I won 5 times in a row. So is there a chance of playing you BillyBob?
You are the best people say!


Next time I see you online, I will definately play you. And Im not the best, I have been beaten a couple of times. :)
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 1:38 PM

January 25, 2006 2:11 PM

lol does all this updating cost any money or are you sooo smart it cost\'s nothing? [ you guys rock!!]......thx for the watching thing..until my next message..waddle on!


Hi kid1, Actually it all costs a lot of money. That is what all the membership money goes toward. The more memberships we have, the more money we can spend to make Club Penguin even better!
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 2:15 PM

billybob can u make a transportation to the coffe shop and the dance club and all the other one u cant reach by the map yet


We'll look into that.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 2:28 PM

AWww i feel so bad that u have to pay all that money. Ill ask to get membership on my bday in a couple months.For the luah we get 1 presnt right?

Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 3:57 PM

1) We hope to have more puffle news in a couple of weeks. Sorry for the delay, but all this testing took a lot of time. 2) something else 3) nope, its just for announced events 4) nope
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 4:27 PM

ha when you say something is \"top secret\" you kinda give it away that it will happen


lol, sorry, but thats too top secret to agree with.
Posted by BillyBob

We do have plans to build the lighthouse, but probably not for a little while.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 6:04 PM

good job guys.i like the watching thing!! I have an idea,club penguin should have an army where u get a helmet and dog tags and have a game where u have a snow ball war.

January 25, 2006 6:06 PM

for the laua can you give us a hint at wat r present is can it be a tiki mask or something i love those kinda things there awesome or maybe aflower necklace that would be kool keep up the hard work

January 25, 2006 7:05 PM

can we have jobs and this is the good part we get pay every friday well maybe not friday but a certain day cause latley ppl want jobs is that a good or bad idea just like 200 coins or somthin and let any 1 have a job because wat about the ppl who arent members they wouldnt be able o use it but just try and see if thats possible and if it is tell us


We think jobs are a good idea and we have plans to add them in the future.
Posted by BillyBob

January 25, 2006 7:16 PM

I have a lot of questions i am desperate to know 1) WILL THE SHOES BE COMING OUT THIS CATOLOUGE? I REALLY WANT SOME!!!! 2) Are we going to be able to add on new rooms in our igloos? 3)Will the luah presents be hidden or will they be like under a tiki torch or something like the green presents at x-mas? 4)when will the test server replace the old server?.... COMMENTS: i noticed that you changed the amount of bags on beans you put on the shelf thingy until they make you stop and unload...did you do that perposly to throw off people since you tipped them off about everything? cuz i already was cashing in for the extra moolaw ($). I love how you can watch the games and i love the new red sunglasses....way to reward those who help!im gonna go get ppl to go on thereby wearing them (evil me)hehe anywayz....good job CP!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS WORKING YOUR HARDEST (trust me i know my mom works the collective and those are the ppl that made the game stars wars episode three video game and she works long hours) WADDLE ON! IMREALLYACOW
Wow, lots of questions, here ya go! 1) Nope, those will take a while longer 2) yes, but not for a while, thats a lot of programming 3) easy to find 4) in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the support! We appreciate it!

Thanks Phat fano! We are planning to add more rooms to the igloos, but its a bigger job than you would think so it will take some time and won't be released soon. Thanks for telling your friends about Club Penguin!

Yes, but you are not able to use your stuff until you become a member again.

Umm... Thats top secret. :)

January 26, 2006 4:45 AM

watching watching?! you guys so totaly rock!!!!!!!!!!!

January 26, 2006 5:09 AM

What updates are you doing to the sledding game


No big ones, it should just run smoother and have less bugs. It will also allow us to change the tracks more often, but they are the same tracks for now.
Posted by BillyBob

January 26, 2006 7:34 AM

i hope the new game in the lodge will be fun cuz i dont like mancala very much.its very brainstorming but it gets boring when it takes long to win.by the way i have a great idea: you can add TIME to club penguin , for example you add a custom clock tower in the town and when it shows 12.00 pm the sky will be dark.plz answer my comment.


Cool idea! We've thought about making "Penguin Time" so everyone knows when something is where ever they are in the world.

January 26, 2006 8:37 AM

i was reading the news and i saw that there is a pizza party its not funny becaus its for members (only) could there be someting for non-members pleas???
greets Jenny Sis Of!!!


Sorry, but almost all the other parties are for non-members too and we will still have more non-member parties than member parties. I hope you understand.

wHAT TIMe ZONE ARE u guys in cuz i wanna make sure to right comments wen u guys r on. can u make a room with a big trampoline where penguins go flyin lol and there wil be a game where u have to jump on like platforms from the tramps.?????


Cool idea!
Posted by BillyBob

January 26, 2006 12:43 PM

I like the whatching idea, but I think you should have little benches that we automanically sit on because theres always a big blob of penguins lol. Anyways I have a question. What\'s the pizza party going to be about? Is there be free pizza and maybe we get a t-shirt saying I (heart) Pizza, and below or above it a piece of pizza?? That would be cool lol...


That party is top secret because we have some big stuff planned.

Thanks for the idea, we'll look into that.
Posted by BillyBob

January 26, 2006 1:58 PM

Hi! I think that the dojo should only be for members or there should be a members only place where members can meet each other. I also think the dojo should be 2 floors! I hope you like my ideas!


Cool ideas!
Posted by BillyBob

January 26, 2006 2:41 PM

Thanks for the ideas!

To answer your question: We have a strong mix of filters, secret agents, and human moderators that are always working behind the scenes to catch all the people who are breaking the rules. So far it works well!

January 26, 2006 6:42 PM

as u know ppl say i want a snow gun well heres somthing for hq there can be a top floor with helicopters and u can fit 10 ppl in but if u want less or want to go solo push the go button in the helicopter u can fly anywere and if u go to the front u can dump snow on ppl below u will see the room when u go up front and u will have the aim thing like snowballs but u can dump piles off snow and it can work for buildings too like the dojo there can be all ten at once on the front but u can also relax in the helicoper as u fly (ppl up front choose were u go)


Cool idea, we'll have to look into that.

Hey Guys..WHEN WILL THE SMS COME!! LAST 2 MONTHS U SAID A COUPLE WEEKS NOW IT BECAME A COULD MONTHS..CMON GUYS:(!!


Don't worry, we are still working on it, but we had to program it into the server, so rather than program it for the old server and the new one, we decided to just do it for the new one, so when we launch the new server it should have the SMS too. I am sorry for the delay, but we didn't realize it would take so long. Thanks for your patience.

It would have taken too long to program it for both, so we decided to spend that time on sledding for the test server.
Posted by BillyBob

January 27, 2006 9:25 AM

That is fantastic! If there is any way at all that i can help let me know. I\'ve been on the test server a lot lately reporting bugs and testing the games.

We would like to, but it would slow down the game too much.
