Yesterday I whined about you guys being bored, and today, well, I’m bored too! :( Oh dearest dear! Well, yeah. I don’t really feel like doing anything on Mr. Tiki today… so yeah. So now I will go back to playing roller Coaster Tycoon One. Vintage, ya know… right? Well, comment. :(

I’ve been struggling with our filter a little bit recently…a couple of inappropriate comments have made it through, and when I took a closer look at the spam comments, a few of your actual comments were in there! I apologize, and clearly I should be checking for that sort of thing more often. If you ever post a comment on our blog and it doesn’t show up, let me know, please!

There have been some updates to the site news, but don’t rush off looking for the Foggy Coast.  They appear to be just jokes ^^ Wonder who wrote them?

If Google was here, he would celebrate with me!

Well, as you all know, I come from the United States of America. And today is a national holiday for us, and what do we Americans do on national holidays? PARTY AND BLOW STUFF UP! WOO! YEAH! So no posting while I’m blowing stuff up. (If I don’t show up tomorrow, you know what happened.) :(

I was bored, so I decided to try and improve my GIMP’n skillz by modifying the Mr. Tiki logo, which is currently black and white and boring. So, here you go!

Cool, eh? Well, not really, but I think it would be cool if they made the Mr. Tiki logo look like it was carved out of rock! Yeah! And Sputnic DID say way-back-when that they wanted to spiff it up a bit! Yeah!

Well, now I have to prepare for impending doom of the big storm on the radar! YAY! :P Do comment!

Thanks to Roy, I stumbled across a few new sites that seem to be sponsored by our admins!

  • Powerweasel - Check out this thread on BBMMO if you’re as confused as I am,
  • Forgetster - Don’t believe me on this one?  First, check out the Top Five Members.  Gee, those names look familar! :P Also, the ads are from a site I think I played once..xP
  • Plunder Jar - Really not sure of the point of this one, and the fact that Club is popular today? Yikes!

…as well as the ones we know of already like MrTiki and BBMMO.com :)  Enjoy~!

Also, look forward to the Tiki Pulse later on tonight!  For now, I’m heading off to eat some fresh fried fish! (Try saying that 10 times fast!)

What the %^#$ is this? Really? And WHY am I popular? Really? *slaps staff* Work on this site, not stupid other sites, now! Get your act together! *slaps again for fun* No wonder it takes you forever to get anything done! :(

The most logical solution? Mr. Tiki and all of the other unmentionable sites in its network are all part of Dweedle’s big new company, Power Weasel Inc. All the money form all the sites goes into one big pot, and of course, it will all go into Tiki, won’t it? Regardless, my AdBlock is on in full force. But, the good news is, by simply creating a flash games site and a BBMMO fan site, using existing properties (flash games and such), little work can bring in lots of $$$. Yeah.

Remember our sneak preview of the Cliffs of Doom? Well, guess what, THERE IS A GIANT PURPLE BLOB ON IT! But wait! If you look at the Cliffs of Doom today, there is absolutely NOTHING purple there!

How could this be? How could a giant purple blob just dissapear? What was a giant purple blob doing there in the first place? Are we missing something?

Time to put out tinfoil hats on and speculate! :P

When I first joined Mr. Tiki, what was the first thing I did? Complain, of course! I basically listed stuff I think should be done, and let the staff react! (They had much more time then, so they reacted more than they do now! :P ) Oh, and Miraye helped!

Items crossed out I do not think we need anymore. Items in bold still need to be done, and green items have been done! Yeah! Well, click more to see it!

(more…)

Sorry for only one post today! I have been either really busy, out of town, or unable to access the computer!

Even if I DID have more time on the computer, I probably would not have been able to write anything. Because, well, I don’t really think there is anything to write about. Either that, or, I’ve run out of stuff to write about. Yep.

So, erm, have any ideas? Are staff willing to release previews of Tiki Homes and the Foggy Coast? You know they want to! So, why not? Do comment! :P

Yup, it’s another one of tictac’s random, boring posts!  Hooray!

First off, I’d just like to announce that all the stuff related to the Hermit quest has been made up-to-date!  So the Quest Guide now has a complete walkthrough and the Item Database now has Bone fishing pole and stuff!  Exciting isn’t it!?

The new Game Guides are well on their way now, and I promise you, they will not be as pitiful as the current ones.  I won’t be giving away much of my plans, but I will tell you that I made a bit of a deadline…  July 8.  WAIT!  Before you complain, let me just say that only means it’s the very latest it would be released, and I left myself a bit of wiggle room, so it might come earlier (I hope before the 4th of July).  So be prepared I hope it really knocks your socks off

Finally, thank you to everyone who joined the Super Mega Game Challenge Spectacular II, we have a stellar turnout of 9 users!  Don’t forget to finish up and get your best scores by the end of tomorrow, Saturday the 21st!  And, if you’re still interested in joining, I suppose you still can here (and only through there so you are ensured entry at such short notice) if you hurry up and get it in before the deadline, no guaruntees though.  Oh, and since so many people are participating, I’ve changed up the prizes a little: 1st gets 150k, 2nd gets 125k, 3rd 100k, 4th 75k, 5th 50k, and everyone else gets Ice Cream!

Mr. Tiki was in development for over two years before the beta release. But what did it look like at that time? What changes has the site undergone? Lets find out! (And some secrets too!) To find this info, I used a website called the Wayback Machine. To go directly to the Mr. Tiki page in it, click the picture below!

  • The night theme was meant to be more integrated with the site, I assume. I think it should be, and I am sure I created an idea about it. Whether the log-in still changes with the night theme has yet to be determined… if it is, do comment!
  • The first story written was about Coperniccus’s Treetop Lab.
  • Users in the game used to be called “Residents”.
  • There was a game called Tiko, which I swear to god was there on the site’s first day but not the next. Really. It was like Kino on Neopets, I think. PLAY IT HERE BEFORE STAFF REMOVE IT!
  • Mr. Tiki was available in english, spainish, and simplified chinese.
  • There used to be a “Wheel of Doom” on the site!
  • Salamanglers used to look different. See below (along with a picture of Tiko):
  • Sumo Rock Toss was originally Tiki Spear Toss.

Cool, eh? I wonder why staff got rid of some of that stuff, like languages and games. Ah, well. If you find anything else, do share! :P

Want a better Mr. Tiki experience? Tired of Internet Explorer? Want to help set a new WORLD RECORD!!! Well, you should get Firefox 3 today!

I’m special. Download me!!!!

I use Firefox, and I love it! It faster, more extendable (extention rock), and very secure! So, try it out! Help set a world record with one million downloads! :P Sorry if I am annoying you with a Firefox ad! Expect more Mr. Tiki stuff soon!

Well, while we’re all waiting for that stupid hermit to finish making… whatever (he sure is taking his time!), I’ve taken the time to update the Quests Guide, adding “The Hermit” quest (to as far as we are at the moment), and also fixed up a few of the other quests.  Also, the telescope has been added to the IDB (speaking of which, has just received a new feature for reading books, and will soon get another update involving the fishing category).

I know, I’m such a lame poster.  I talk about nothing interesting :P Aww… *hands Tictac a self-help book* It will make you feel better!

Mr. Tiki staff should make plot-related items untradable at once! It is unfair and lazy to allow it! :)

31 total combined (staff/user) people online at once! AWESOME! This has to be a new record!

OK, right now we have two things going on, the SUPER-MEGA GAME SPECTACULAR and Your Content. So, lets remind you about them and confirm stuff!

So far, we have three entries for Your Content this week! Cooleo! Remember, if you want to see your content on this site, you ahve to submit it! Go to the Your Content page up above to learn more! :) Just to confirm, here is who we have so far:

  • Tictac24
  • Argeth
  • TikiPrincess

Awesome. Our games challenge just came out this morning, and we have already seen a great response! So far, four people have signed up! If I got your e-mail about signing up, I would have replied! :P If not, just send another e-mail or Tiki Mail Tictac, Miraye, or I. Remember, with all these activities you win prizes! So, why not? :P

Yeah, my Tiki 2.0 idea is quite daunting. If I were to try and write it all out, it would take a month. Yep. (I don’t want to even imagine how long it would take to develop!) Also, you guys are all pretty creative and smart in your own right, and you all can represent different wishes in a game. So, just as an idea, wouldn’t it be fun to make a Tiki 2.0 Wiki where we can, together, design the game of our dreams? Together with a development forum? It would be fun to do, even if it never happens! /really-short-post-to-compensate-for-cliffs-of-doom-that-will-come-out-within-the-next -2.5-hours-or-else :P

First off I’d like to start off by extending a Happy Father’s Day on behalf of all the staff of MTT to all Dads, (Great) Grandpas, and those who act like fathers to us, for being there to love us, teach us important lessons in life, and to go fishing with us. :P

Anyway, sorry to bust the mood, but I’m going to squeeze in a probably lame Tip of the Week:

Did you know…

That the Tiki Prize Coupon is the only animated item currently known to users (in .swf format)?

Also, did you know Maylee Hula Doll is not a toy while Marney THE Hula Doll (notice this one has “the” in it) is?  Also there’s a third, red-headed hula doll (name unknown).

Hello, I am [insert name here] the Hula Doll!

Ok, apparently this site’s little advertising motto is “Adventure Awaits on Tiki Island” or simply “adventure awaits” for short.

But the thing is, a quick Google search for “adventure awaits” (quotes included) wields 198,000 results. Holy moly. How unoriginal! (And, if I am correct, there is another pet site with this motto!) Mr. Tiki staff are creative, and they can do better. If Mr. Tiki does banner ads and this is on it, I’ll puke.

Want a good example? Try looking at the Maplestory ads (and if you have not clicked two ads today, click one!). they are simply amazing. They draw your attention and are not blatant ads until the end. Use these as an example, guys!

Want a better motto? Why not just use your base! “Which side will you choose?”. I like it! Have any other ideas? Just comment!

/really bad post because I am tired….
