Cliffs of DOOM! Guide!

Yes, they are finally here! Need help? I’ll help you! But only if you want me too!

Click “more” to read it!

 

Enter at your own risk!

The Cliff(s) of Doom have officially been released!  The map is the image we were given a sneak peek of earlier, but that doesn’t decrease the excitement.  Paired with the music its downright eerie! I can picture myself tripping and falling off of a cliff to my death with the music crescendoing in the background   Any way, I mostly just swung my mouse around until I found something to click on.  As far as I can tell there are only two places so far..If you want to find these yourself, don’t click below!

 

Blocking the BBMMO Bar…

Doing this is NOT recommended. This hurts the amount of money Mr. Tiki makes from ads. It is best you wait and get used to it, and you will, just like you did for ads!

Ok, you cannot stand that annoying bar at the top! AHH! Well, luckily, it is easy to remove.

• Open Firefox, and if you do not have, it get it.
• Install the AdBlock Plus extention.
• Add a filter for:

• Apply, OK.

 

Map Updated

6 comments for this already? None for my post about an Addicting Idea? Read and comment please! Have a nice day!

Wait a minute? Who’s this guy that’s posting? I know, I haven’t been posting here… AT ALL, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on the Item Database (which is near completion). I’ve also taken a break from that work, and went on to take on some different work! Using my pwnful MS Paint skills, I’ve now updated the underground map (now let’s just hope it doesn’t change with the CoD update). Click more to see it (yea, it’s kinda long now):

 

Underground Map

Since Roy’s map disappeared into cyberspace, I’ve created another map of the caverns under the Valley of Secrets. Enjoy!

 

How To Block Ads

So, you are really ticked at the new ads, aren’t you. Well, probably now, but if you are this post is for you! Right here is a guide on how to block ads.

1. Download the Firefox web browser. It is free, open, secure, and faster than other browsers. It also has many handy extensions, which brings me to…
2. Download and install the AdBlock Plus extention.
3. Add a filter for “http://ads.mrtiki.com/*”
4. Enjoy your ad-free tiki experience.

If you aren’t planning on supporting the site with the one-click-a-day policy, this is a harmless and easy thing to do.

DISCLAIMER: Doing this is NOT recommended. Mr. Tiki also gets money for simply loading the ads, and refusing to do so hurts their bottom end. The ads are not much of a bother, and you will get used to them and learn to ignore them.

 

Tutorial: Downloading Mr. Tiki music

Want to take a bit of Tiki with you on the go? Well, thanks to Celyn, we can! (She figured out how to do it!)

• Go to: http://music.mrtiki.com/feeds/playlist.music.php
• Press: ctr-f, on your keyboard.
• Enter “.mp3″ as your search term, hit enter. This helps you find the actual music.
• Copy the URLs of the music into separate tabs/windows.
• Go to: file > save page as, or the like. Save it as whatever you want.
• Import it into your favorite music software and enjoy!

Hope this helps!

 

Remember: Our Yahoo Group (And other ways to keep in touch.)

Did you know you can get instant Mr. Tiki updates right in your e-mail index? Well, you can! Yahoo has a nice safe service called Yahoo Groups that allows us to send updates right to you! (/cheesy ad voice) Yeah, regardless, just send an e-mail (the message does not matter) to mrtiki-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you will be automatically added. I highly recommend you do this, because you never know when we will send an unreleased secret through this! (wink)

Oh, and in the corner of your browser, you will notice we have an RSS feed. This gives incredibly instant updates when used as a bookmark, and it is simple too. Your browser should make it easy to add a bookmark.

And other than that, just remember to check back often! This has been a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Club! (And my brother is being a bee-otch (irritable, impatient person) and demanding the computer now… so got-to-go… )

Today’s word censorship is brought to you by the Super Mega Game Contest Spectacular, so show your patronage and sign up now if you haven’t yet!

 

Game Challenges? We have those?

One feature of this site has been there since the beginning, but I have really never seen it used. This feature is game challenges!

Do do a challenge, simply go to any game’s page and click the button that looks like the one above. Simple, eh? Well, once that is done, you must select a user to challenge. Easy, since it lets you select friends.

Next, you can select a bet and PLAY! (Using the correct links.) Overall, game challenges are an easy and simple way to challenge friends and (hopefully) make TT!

So, what do you think? Did you know they existed before this post?

 

Alternative Flumper Names (and story!)

OK, I have just about had enough. It seems that every other Flumper made has the name “Flumpy” or something similar. Really, it is a nice name, but not everyone needs to use it! It is really annoying, and it gives me headaches. So, I have proposed alternative Flumper names.

• Gump
• Inky
• Norbit
• Monty
• Hostess
• Hunter
• Remmy

See, aren’t those all fuzzyfull and cute? Use them and spare me of annoyance! Now to story time!

Here is the story of my username (Clubdirthill002)! When my house was being built, there were big giant piles of dirt. They were very much fun to play on. One day while my friends were playing, we decided to make a Club. It was called Club Dirt Hill. Conveniently, one of my friends went to get a happy meal and got a company-who-must-not-be-named toy. We joined that company’s site and decided to all share one account (clubdirthill). It did not work out. So I made my own and called it Clubdirthill002. The end.

 

Technical Help

Hey, lots of people are having technical problems with the site. Here are my suggestions of what to do when you encounter a problem with the site. This is in a specific order… so you can get problems fixed faster!

1. Refresh the page, and check back in 5 minutes if it is still not fixed.
2. Clear your cache. This should solve many problems. If you have high-speed, turn it off, you do not need it.
3. Clear your cookies. You will have to log-in again.
4. Check the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS page to see if your computer can handle Mr. Tiki.
5. Update your flash software to the latest version.
6. Update your browser to the latest version.
7. You may possibly have to turn off AdBlocking software.
8. Check this blog, the news, and the boards to see if there are any current glitches. There will probably be solutions posted.

If all that still does not work, check help guides or create a board about it. Also, REPORT the bug if you do not find a solution!

 

Interactive Ads and Mini-Gameroom!

Roy (Who’s little symbol looks the same upside down!) has made some interactive ads and a mini-gameroom for us all! (They are actually pretty cool)

You have to download them, and you can click the image below to do so. Rest assured, I uploaded them and they are completely safe. To use them you have to unzip them and open them in Firefox/IE. (File > Open)

Click me to download!

Have fun, because they are cool! Also, unfortunately, our blog does not support flash. so you cannot see them here! Also, I have a suggestion, if you go to a forum or own a website that supports flash, why not post these handy Mr. Tiki links and refer a few people!

 

Earth Hour, not just for Tiki Village.

This year, millions of people around the world are going to turn of their lights for one hour to make a statement about global warming. I think everyone on Mr. Tiki should join in! (Even those pesky environment-hating Wooites!)

Click me to visit the official website… (its probably down)

To join in, all you have to do is turn off all the lights in your house for one hour. Between 8-9 PM in your own timezone.  

Have fun!

 

Webslices

I usually avoid IE like the plague (GO FIREFOX!), but I did notice a cool new feature in the beta version of IE 8. It is something called webslices, and you can learn more about it HERE and HERE (VIDEO)!

It basically lets users see what is happening on a web page without actually having to visit it. If I were Mr. Tiki, I would let IE users take advantage of it.

Users cannot choose what to webslice, developers have to add the code into the webpages. And I can think of several areas where this would be useful:

• Mail – Check tikimail without visiting.
• Auctions – Check on auctions you have bid on.
• News – Alerts users of news updates.
• High Scores – Alerts users of a new high score for a particular game.
• Shop Stocks – Lets users see shop stocks without visiting.

How about creating a special webslice page that people could subscribe too? It would be basically a portal for IE users, awesome, eh? Oh, and I believe Mozilla is working on something similar, so nobody should be left out eventually! So, what do you think? Should Mr. Tiki use webslices?
