A post about Random Things.

Hello Wizards,

I had a great Fourth of July weekend. Even though I did do posts on here when I said I would be gone. Oh well, I love doing blog posts now, so I am sure during holidays I will be doing posts. Anyways, I had a great time at our Park to watch the fireworks. Anyways, as you can tell I did change my background and header so it wouldn't be red and blue anymore. Since fourth of July is gone, I will keep the background and header as it is right now, I think.

Youtube Videos:
I made some new Youtube videos! I am sure most have noticed from Twitter or Youtube that I have put some links down showing you the videos. Anyways, I have made a Youtube video of a strong leprechaun hit, and a strong kraken hit. I think you guys do remember the photo of the Kraken, Well I made another hit today, with video though! Here are the videos of the leprechaun and Kraken!

Since It won't let me upload the Leprechaun Video for some reason, here is the link to that:

Help, I might die in a Battle:
I did a post over this the other day, I just wanted to skim over that a little to tell you what I was talking about for those who didn't read it. I went to the commons and went on my Magus Ice character and asked for help from 10 people in the commons, 7 said no and 3 said yes, and then I went on my legendary ice character and did the same thing and 9 people said no and one person said yes. You never know if it will be different, but with me, It seemed that the community would rather help a newer player, which is a very good thing. Now it can change if you ask in a rude or nice way. For example if you said, I need help now! I am going to die! or like one wizard said to me when I first started, I told them I was in a battle and he said, Flee the battle and help me now!! Okay, you will most likely not get the help that you are needing if you ask for help that way, I think the best thing to do is ask for help in a nice way. Anyways, that is just another overview of what I had in a blog post on the third of July. 

Can't add anymore Wizards:

The bad thing about having a limit with friends is that you can't add everyone that you want to add. A few months ago I was handing out a lot of true friend codes and wanted to add as much people as I could. I can't add anymore friends though since I passed the limit to add anymore friends. I just wanted to tell you guys that if you did ask to add me. Sorry I can't anymore though. I hope they do another friend upgrade where you could add 200 people instead of 120. Hopefully they do that!

Another Contest Soon?
Yes I will be having another contest soon, I really don't know what the contest will be or what the prizes will be, Hopefully I do figure that out soon! I am thinking about giving out a few gift cards or something. Sorry I haven't had any contests recently, I really do love having them, My membership ran out last month and needed to renew that instead. I can't wait to have another contest though. It seems like a lot of fun to me and you all! Last time there was a lot of Wizards who did sign up for the last contest, I couldn't believe how much emails I had in my inbox! Anyways, I don't think I will do anything with email again because of how much responses I had, next time I am going to do something with commenting under the blog post of the contest. So we will see when that does happen and what the prizes will be sometime later!


One Last thing:
It think you all know I don't really like doing long blog posts, because they can get annoying to the readers and can get annoying to me typing a lot! I am thinking about asking Blaze if I could use his house to have a pvp party, I think it would be sometime this week, It depends if he will be here or not. It would be awesome to see how much people did show up though, since this would be the first pvp party I would host. I hope that would work out if I am not busy, or if anyone is not busy this week. Another party I am going to host at my Sultans palace is my Birthday party, which will be on July 28th. I hope I have time to host though, would be terrible not showing up at your own birthday party right? Well, I will see about that within the next 3 weeks!

Okay, you made it! To the end of the blog post, See you all later!

Wizard101 Research- Asking For Help

Hello Everyone,

I have been doing a little research that I wanted to show you all, maybe someone has done this before, or maybe not. I just wanted to see what the results could be with a couple of different subjects I have been doing a research on. First off I went to the commons on my level 33 ice and asked 10 people for help to see how much wizards would say yes or no for helping me on a quest. Oh that is not all I did though, I have also went to the commons and asked 10 wizards for help on my legendary! I would like to see the difference between the two. I hope you guys like this blog post, I haven't really done anything like this and I would like to now. Enjoy!

Wizard101 Help: Magus Thaumaturge
Okay, I went to the commons in different realms and asked 10 people if they could help me on a quest in Marleybone. There wasn't really a quest, but the results of this was 7 people said no, and 3 people said yes. So really, 70% said no, and 30% said yes. Now, if you are starting the game new or on a new character make sure you don't ask for help there. Maybe through the game you will meet nice people that will help you in the game. Don't forget though, 7/10 people may say no, It could turn out different though, Maybe you should try that out sometimes to see how much people would say yes or no if you needed help. Also, good luck if you are questing a new character :)

Wizard101 Help: Legendary Thaumaturge
There was a big difference for those who said yes or no from the research above. I went on my Ice character and went to the commons again and asked 10 people if they could help me with a quest in Wintertusk. Now, I think Wizards know I wouldn't need help in Wintertusk or finishing wintertusk being an ice character. The results of this was 9 people saying no, and one person saying yes! 90% of 100 said no. Only 10% of 100 said yes. That is actually awesome, I never really did any research like this before! I am sure it could be different with different schools. Ice can survive a lot of damage that is why I am sure they said no for my Legendary Thaumaturge. I have to admit though, that was very cool seeing the difference between a magus and legendary getting help. I am glad Wizard101 does have nice people to help newer wizards that joined wizard101.

The Results:
Just like I said above, In research more Wizards would be willing to help a newer wizard other than an older wizard. I am very glad I did this so others could see that the Wizard101 community can be helpful. Some don't answer though when you ask for help. Remember though,  say please when you do ask for help, and ask nicely. When you just tell them: HELP NOW, or I AM GOING TO DIE, They might not help you because that was a rude way to put it. I think that when you ask nicely they would be willing to help you. Anyways, I made some photos of what you should do when asking for help. Also, this is the ending of the blog post and I hope you enjoyed reading! I am sure most might get bored but this is something that I wanted to do for a while. I also hope you enjoyed the results of asking for help in Wizard101.

                                                   Nice way of asking for help:

Rude way of Asking for help:

Blaze and I did make this up, but I just wanted to show examples of asking for help in a nice way, Remember, you will most likely get a no if you just yell help or something. Well like I said, this is the end of the blog post I hope you enjoyed my different research. See you all around the Spiral!

My Forest Lord Pet

Hello Wizards!

I am going to make a blog post today since I will not be on at all tomorrow, well for Blaze Shadowhorn's Fourth of July party but other than that, I will be spending time with family shooting off fireworks and I will be at a bbq. I hope you guys have a great time tomorrow too! Anyways, lets talk about wizard101. Well I finally got my forest lord pet! I only have to wait a couple more hours until it hatches. I didn't think I would ever get that pet, my next goal is to get my phoenix pet or humongofrog pet. Anyways, I took some pictures of when I got it and some photos of questing through Wintertusk! Here they are.





I admit it didn't take that long, but I did use about 50 forest lord cards throughout Grizzleheim and Wintertusk. At least I reached my goal of getting my forest lord pet though!

See you all Monday or Tuesday!
Well, I hope to see you all these days because of me being busy, Oh and I wanted to say, if you have read on Twitter or Facebook, I do have little giveaways on my friends list on Wizard101. So look out for that. I am still wondering if I should have another contest soon, Hmm I will figure that out later. Anyways, See you all later or tomorrow or Tuesday and have a great Fourth of July tomorrow! Bye everyone!
