The Jammer's Guide

Welcome to the Jammer's Guide-your handy go-to for all your Animal Jam needs <3

[thejammersguide]

Are u still alive? ._.

uhm i kinda grew out of animal jam... if anyone wants to take over this blog from me theyre welcome to it!

[thejammersguide]

What ever happened to that contest? Is it over? I'm really confused XD

Ahaha not many people entered it, so I extended it a little. I guess it'll go on indefinitely until around twenty people enter it. Thanks for asking!

help me

my mom: hey, what're you doing

me: playing animal jam

my mom: umm isn't that for kids?

me: *is 12*

Animal Jam App!

So, after a long, long period of inactivity (once again ahaha anyone want to coauthor?), here’s a semi-long, non-RIM post to make up for it.

I recently downloaded the Animal Jam app, and I have a semi-review for you (no pictures, though, because tumblr mobile is mean). 

My main issue with the app is that it’s so slow. It takes forever to get anywhere because every time you go to a different area the app reloads (or something, I don’t get technology stuff).

Other than that, it’s actually really enjoyable. There’s not as much of a member-nonmember gap, since nonmembers can buy what would be member items on the desktop version, and the minigames are a lot more fun on a mobile interface. 

One other complaint is that you have to make a new account to play on the app-you can’t transfer over items, etc. from the desktop version (or if you can I didn’t see it XD).

Overall, this app gets a 4/5 stars rating, because as much as I like it there were really some things that could have been done better.

Have fun jamming (and if there are things I missed, shoot me an ask ;)),

What is you animal jam? I love your posts and would love to have you as a buddy :)

oh um I know you said to ignore this but I was super flattered that you like my super late/stuff posts!! so um thank you! ❤️

[thejammersguide]

So, Another Contest

Yuuup. You heard it here first (which makes sense, since I’m actually organizing this thing? So yeah).

Hopefully people will actually join this time (if you do, I will love you forever, yes?), but if they don’t I won’t be too disappointed.

For those of you not in the know, my first contest was a complete flop. NO ONE JOINED, you horrible people.

Anyway, before I get too off-topic, you don’t actually have to do anything big to join. All you have to do is reblog this post! I’ll assign you a number, and once a certain number of people have joined (depends on the response I get) I’ll draw a certain number of winners randomly (depends on the number of entries I get). 

The winners will each receive a non-recent-RIM rare of their choice, and one person will get a drawing from me of one of their animals (I mean, I’m not a horrible artist… right?). Hopefully that’s enough incentive to join…? Please?

If over twenty people join, I will have a party. By myself, because I don’t have any friends. But I will still have a party, and there will be cake.

I probably will have a party anyway because cake??? and 108 followers yasss

So, please join, because I will be very sad if you don’t. And there will not be cake.

Alright, I think that’s it,

Reblog because I don’t think many people saw this. Also, for people on mobile platforms, please enable the thing that gives you a notification for every time this blog is updated, because I don’t post very often and stuff might get lost in reblogs.

I’ve noticed that people are following without reblogging, which makes no sense, because this is a contest? and people like contests, right? Right. So please reblog!

~Candy-chan

[thejammersguide]

I’m still alive, in case anyone was worried.

So, this is more proof of my desperate need for a coauthor. I have somehow magically acquired 159 followers who for some reason like reading my weirdness? Surely one of you has the time and inclination to help me out?

If anyone’s interested, please shoot me an ask or submit something with your email and AJ username!

Also, for those of you on mobile, would you mind turning on post notifications? Thanks.

Have fun jamming,

Candy

[thejammersguide]

BEES!

The title might be a bit misleading, but whatever.

Bees have come to Jamaa, and they’re for non-members! (They’re pets, not animals, in case anyone was confused)

Get them before they leave!

Have fun jamming,

RIM: Rare Square Glasses

These RIMs are getting so unimaginative.

Honestly.

Anyway, here you go-a super late RIM post! (And I mean late as in literally late-it’s 9 PM where I’m posting this)

it’s in Jam Mart Clothing, and it costs 650 Gems, as you can see.

Alright, that’s all for today, but expect a reblog of the contest post tomorrow!

Have fun jamming!

~Candy-chan

[thejammersguide]

So, are you excited? I don’t know how it’s going to translate onto a mobile format, so I’m going to go check it out right now!

TWO VERY IMPORTANT STUFFS!

So… I’ve been inactive for like two months and I find this:

So, in celebration of that, I’m going to make a super special event-post-giveaway thing! Maybe people will actually join… That would be nice… Anyway, in addition to that, another thing that totally made my day was this:

So much happiness!~ Thank you so much, whoever sent me that!! <3

Hello Kitty gives you much love.

Anyway, expect a post soon about the updates, the new party, and the new adventure (plus, all those new animals as well!). For now, take some hugs.

For, y’know, following this blog, not unfollowing after my random absences, and just generally being awesome.

Lots of love,

Candy

[thejammersguide]

*gasp* I have found the mysterious person who sent me fan mail! I love you so much! (I stalked the people who gave me notes on this post and I found the fanmail-sender after they reblogged it! So I am happy. Also creepy.)

[thejammersguide]

RIM: Rare Wristwatch

Blargh, these are getting less and less creative. ‘Tis an on-time RIM post, the world must be ending! 

(No, for your information I was totally not guilt-tripped into making this by the fanmail I only recently saw. Thanks for that, by the way)

Anyway, the RIM for today is the Rare Wristwatch, and it’s a members-only item that is found in the Jam Mart Clothing shop.

Here’s a picture before I get onto something that just really bugs me (okay, two things that kinda bug me):

There! As you can see it’s not much to look at *shrugs*

Now, onto some ranty time.

Before I start, please note that this may offend some people (I am insulting certain peoples’ intelligence), so be aware of that. If you don’t want to read this, please don’t. I expect no angry asks about this post, because I’ve warned you (also, if you don’t want to see these rants in the future, blacklist the tag #candy rants.

ALRIGHT NOW. ONTO THE RANT.

Right, so I was in the new adventure (Graham’s Workshop) and I happened upon some people talking about how if you close your eyes you’ll get rarer resources, such as gemstone.

Obviously (for me) this isn’t true. Even if AJHQ somehow planted cameras into the houses of every person who plays AJ, and had informants to tell them when someone new begins to play AJ, the Animal Jam website and game is a COMPUTER PROGRAM. It can’t decide whether you have your eyes open or closed, because it’s not an AI. 

In addition to this, there are SO MANY people playing Animal Jam at any given moment that honestly even if they had real people looking at cameras, determining if your eyes were open or closed, and then altering the result of your resource-gathering depending on that, they would need SO MANY PEOPLE it would be completely impractical. I was even on one of the less crowded servers and people were EVERYWHERE.

So... in conclusion...

COULD YOU BE ANY LESS INTELLIGENT? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IT. YOUR RARER RESOURCES ARE A COINCIDENCE. EVER HEARD OF THOSE?

They even sucked my eight-year-old sister into their black hole of stupidity. Jeez.

Alright, ranty time over. You can peek now.

Right, so now that I’ve ranted to my loyal followers (I’m definitely going to lose a few followers over this XD) I would also like to say one thing:

Stop messaging me about the post I foolishly made a few months ago about how there are no jammers on tumblr. I feel as if people are misinterpreting that statement, I meant that a) when I searched the animal jam tag I found very few blogs (so if you don’t tag your posts I wouldn’t have seen it) and b) I was talking about people who blog animal jam, not just play it (though I’m glad to know people on tumblr care! I really am!).

Also, thanks for reading that. If you actually read the entire thing, I’ll give you a virtual cookie.

No hard feelings about ranty time, right? 

Right.

So, have fun jamming!

~Candy-chan

EDIT: Wow, 100th post! Definitely going to do something to celebrate that.

[thejammersguide]

Hello! I wanted to ask when you started playing AJ. Also, how many rares do you have?

Oops, I just saw this ^-^”

I started playing AJ around two years ago, and I’m not sure how many rares I have… They’re mostly from me spam-buying RIMs, though…
