RIM Theory

Hey Jammers– super short post! I have a lot to do today.

Like yesterday, I wanna talk about something kinda late: the Rare Item Monday.

I wanna talk about it because it was one of the 10% of Rare Item Mondays that are actually unique and cool.

As you can see, this meets a lot of the criteria for a Quality RIM. In my opinion, here are all the things that can make a good RIM:

– Not that much eye strain 
– Uniqueness– aspects are changed aside from color
– Nonmember

I'd rate this one a 2.5/3 because while this item is not entirely unique (like Extra Salty Popcorn), the facial expression is delightfully unexpected. Here's the original for comparison:

So the eyes were actually negated... instead of black with white pupils, we have white with black pupils. Nice!

The thing with Rare Item Mondays is that they can catch you by surprise. We get so used to weird eyestrain-y recolors that we just give up on checking the shops every Monday... and then when we least expect it, actually cool stuff shows up.

I have a theory: 90% of Rare Item Mondays are ugly on purpose. While the ugly ones don't necessarily become regarded as very rare, they make the cool RIMs even rarer. Hmm...

Before I go, I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm on Chicken Smoothie! I dunno why I didn't talk about it earlier, because so many Animal Jam people also use this pet-adopting website. 

Here's my user. I don't have a lot of people on CS to talk to, so feel free to PM me!!! Unlike Jam-a-Grams, I can actually write back personalized responses lol

That concludes this short post. See you in Jamaa!!!
