Unreleased Emoticons
If you're interested in having a Masterpiece you made displayed and admired at the top of this blog by many Jammers, here's how to enter: display your Masterpiece in an unlocked den or an unlocked Jammer Wall. Next, comment your username on any post on this blog. I will see your Masterpiece and it will be entered in the contest!
It would really make my day wonderful if you'd enter in the contest. :D
For today's post, I'm back on the topic of weird and unreleased things. Only today I'm not talking about items or achievements, no no, those are way more predictable.
I'm talking about... unreleased emoticons.
*dun dun dunnn*
These are the emoticons you see every day. Maybe you're a nonmember (like me) and the top section is unusable. Either way, we're all pretty familiar with the emoticons above, right?
But are you familiar with...
THESE??????
The first image is from a Jammer named Alistairz, who claims the emoticon used was a gift from AJHQ.
The second image is from the now-inactive blog Animal Jam Flash. For around a day five years ago, you could add regular emoticons to your chat bubbles. It was thought that it would turn into a new feature, but it never did.
The second image is definitely legitimate. I'm not sure about the first one. It could have been fabricated for attention. Still, I think it has some truth to it because AJ's signature style would be very difficult to replicate.
My personal theory about the thermometer emoticon is that it was an early version of the :sick: emoticon, maybe even from before beta testing. I think AJHQ decided to replace it because they suspected not a lot of people would use it.
If what Alistairz claims is true, that AJHQ gave it to him as a gift, I wonder why. Just because he's a well-known Jammer? In all honesty, I hope not. One thing that bothers me about AJHQ is that they break protocol a lot for "famous" Jammers. They don't always ban serious hackers, say, if they make popular YouTube videos inadvertently advertising their game. They even replace scammed or hacked items for well-known Jammers while other Jammers just have to trade them back themselves.
AJ is a super cool game, but AJHQ giving special treatment to "famous" Jammers is just not cool.
That's all for now, Jammers. See you in Jamaa!

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)
Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:
-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD
-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.
Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!
Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D
P.S. That's a bear emoticon up there. ^
I'll enter the contest!! ^.^ User is Lostfairy and my den is full of my masterpieces so feel free to check any of those. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I kinda doubt AJHQ would give only ONE person an emote. If anything, they'd let the YouTubers test it for a day or so and then release it for everyone. (kinda like how they told the YouTubers about the spikes and 1000 item space)
Yeah, the story seems fabricated. Maybe the image is legitimate, maybe some kind of glitch, but the person wanted to get attention by making up a story.
DeleteOr, maybe the whole image is fake. That's always a possibility.
But anyway, thanks for entering!!! I always love seeing your artwork, Lost. :D
