club penguin/puffles Club Penguin is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) involving a virtual world containing a range of online games and activities, by Club Penguin Entertainment (formerly New Horizon Interactive). Players use cartoon penguin-avatars and play in a winter-set virtual world. After beta-testing, Club Penguin was made available to the general public on October 24, 2005[2] and has since expanded into a large online community —growing to the extent that by late 2007, it was claimed that Club Penguin had over 30 million user accounts.[3] While free memberships are available, revenue is predominantly raised through paid memberships which allow players to access a range of additional features, (such as the ability to purchase virtual clothing, furniture, and in-game pets called "puffles" for their penguins through the use of in-game currency).[4] The success of Club Penguin led to New Horizon being purchased by The Walt Disney Company in August 2007 for the sum of 350 million dollars, with an additional 350 million dollars in bonuses should specific targets be met by 2009.[5]

The game was designed for ages 6–14.[6] Thus a major focus of the developers has been on child safety,[7] with a number of features introduced to the game to facilitate this — including offering an "Ultimate Safe Chat" mode, whereby users select their comments from a menu; filtering that prevents swearing and the revelation of personal information;[7] and moderators (along with veteran players) who patrol the game.[8] The game has been criticized for teaching consumerism[9] and allowing players to "cheat".[10]

Club Penguin is divided into various rooms and distinct areas. Illustrator Peter Welleman designed many of the first environments.

Each player is provided with an igloo for a home. Members have the option of opening their igloo so other penguins can access it via the map, under "Member Igloos".[42] Members may also purchase larger igloos and decorate their igloos with items bought with virtual coins earned by playing mini-games.[27]

At least one party per month is held on Club Penguin. In most cases, a free clothing item is available, both for paid members and free users. Also the parties provide member only rooms in which only members can access. Some major Club Penguin parties are its annual Halloween and Holidays parties. Other large parties include the Music Jam, Adventure Party,and the Medieval Party.

The main Club Penguin room is called The Town, and this is where most players arrive when they log in to the game. It has three internal rooms: the Coffee Shop, the Night Club and the Gift Shop. The Coffee Shop is modeled after a small coffee shop, and contains a minigame called Bean Counters in which a player has to catch sacks of coffee beans launched from a truck, and it is also a main place for penguins to go if they want to meet each other. The Coffee Shop is the only place decorated for the Anniversary Parties and where the party hats are given.

The Stage was released in November 2007 in the Plaza.[43] Subscribed members may buy costumes for the play, an option that non-members do not have. The script for the play is located at the bottom-right corner of the screen. When clicked, a list of lines is brought up. Each month, a new play is released.The old "Your Puffle Has Run Away" info-box. Nowner's mailboxaway How to adopt 12 puffles without being a member (red or blue ...

How to adopt 12 puffles without being a member (red or blue ...

Puffle Show The main attraction at this year’s puffle party is the Puffle Show, a special event for members only. It’s kind of like the Westminster Dog Show but for puffles. The neat part is that you can bring along any one of your puffles and when you walk up to certain parts, your puffle will do special things. For example, walk your puffle down to the bottom left and it will go through the obstacle course. Or take your puffle up to the grooming area to give it a nice haircut. While you’re here at the Puffle Show, don’t forget to pick up your members-only free puffle jacket.

Inside the Puffle Show in Club Penguin. Puffles (Moschomicrotherium pufflei, i.e. "funny little beast puffle") are the pets of penguins. They have been known to the native penguins of Rockhopper Island for ages, but were unknown to most people outside the island until November 2005, when one was seen in Club Penguin. Since then, they've been common pets throughout Antarctica. There is an other species, called "Rebel Puffles" they are named like that, because they live away from Antarctica, in they own country, called Puffle'and. Puffles originated from the modern-day Falkland Islands, where they hunted for O'Berries during the Ice Age. After the ice was gone, the puffles found themselves on islands where, once, there had been huge mountains. Back then, there was only one kind of puffle: Red. But once in the water, puffles developed the ability to swim. The puffles decided to move away from the islands and built huge rafts, sailing across the Drake Passage to the South Shetland Islands. There, new puffle breeds developed, like green or purple. From the South Shetland Islands, the puffles migrated all throughout Antarctica.

Puffles are also telekinetic and can "pick up" objects using their minds. Their telekinesis has a limited range though (usually about a foot), and also a limited strength. They have a weak backbone consisting primarily of cartilage in the center of their body, and their brain, which is very large in comparison to their bodies, takes up the entire top of their body. All the organs are located at the puffle's lower region, including a special water-filled sac that puffles use to move (more in puffle locomotion), two organs that act like powerful electromagnets, which the puffle uses in telekinesis (more in telekinesis), and two other sacs that are implemented in the puffle's ignition system (more in ignition system).

Locomotion Edit Puffle locomotion combines the momentum of the water-filled sac with the occasional telekinetic push. Two muscles above and below the water sac called the locomotor superior and locmotor inferior (respectively) pull on a flap of cartilage behind the sac, causing the flap to lightly bounce the sac against the puffle's skin. The puffle uses the sac's momentum along with its own telekinetic pushes to move itself forward. Experts believe that puffles use this system for slow-speed locomotion to give their telekinetic organs a break. When moving at high speeds over short distances, puffles roll like an armadillo, using their muscle-sac system to spin around. When moving at high speeds over long distances, though, puffles use telekinesis to zoom over the ground like a maglev train Puffles have two special organs that act like electromagnets near their brain, generating electric currents and passing them over small metal particles suspended in solution inside the organs, essentially turning each organ into an electromagnet. The two magnetic fields are amplified by metallic lumps embedded in the puffle's skin. Each magnetic field is amplified so greatly that it actually messes with gravity, giving the puffle the ability to make objects levitate in midair, although it is only strong enough to pick up light objects that are a few inches or less away from them. Like the black puffle of today, all puffles used to be able to burst into flame. As the years passed, though, the fur coats of the puffles grew thicker and eliminated the need for turning into a fireball. All the puffle breeds except for the black one lost the ability to control the organs that allowed them to ignite. They didn't lose the organs, though, which are explained in detail below.

All puffles have three special sacs: the water-filled transportation sac, a sac filled with potassium nitrate, and a sac filled with propane. The potassium nitrate and propane are biosynthesized from O-Berries that the puffles eat. When igniting, the black puffle releases the potassium nitrate and propane out of special pores in its skin. The potassium nitrate oxidizes the propane, causing it to burst into flame. The microscopic silica particles in puffle fur prevent the puffle itself from burning to ashes. All puffles have this combustion system, but only black puffles can control and use it at will. It has been discovered, though, that it is possible to train other breeds of puffle (besides black) to ignite like this. Puffles are carbon-silicon-nitrogen-phosphorus-based organisms that have adapted to Earth's biosphere ever since they arrived via meteorite.

Puffles use different base elements for different parts of their biochemistry. Silicon-based compounds constitute much of the structural components of a puffle's cell, such as the cytoskeleton and membranes. Microscopic silica particles are major components of puffle fur. Puffles incorporate carbon into their enzymes and signaling chemicals, just like normal carbon-based life forms. However, puffles metabolize both carbon- and nitrogen/phosphorus-based compounds, both of which are used to make energy for the puffle.

Puffles use water as a universal solvent, but breath both oxygen and nitrogen, while exhaling both carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Puffles are mostly herbivores, but their diets differ drastically depending on whether they are living as pets, or in the wild.

Pets Edit Pet puffles eat a wildly varying range of foods, such as salads, pie, fruits, and, of course, anything derived from an O'Berry.

Wild Edit Wild puffles mainly eat and forage O'Berries, but sometimes they will collect nectar from any rare wildflowers growing about. The Puffle Family contains one genus of different species and subspecies.

After that, they are left to grow up on their own in the wild, or with a trusting penguin. Puffles younger than one year are the equivalent of chicks, while puffles older than one year and younger than 5 years are the equivalent of young penguin kids. Puffles mature as adults at about 5 to 6 years, and they have a life expectancy of 15-25 years, although the Von Injoface Family appear to be able to live as long as a penguin... unfortunately. ■Many puffles state that moving around requires the puffle to tilt in the direction they want to go, much like a Segway or a tilt-sensor in a gaming system. ■Puffles are actually alien extremophiles that arrived on Earth by way of a meteorite, a piece of debris from the puffles' destroyed homeworld. The debris crashed into Earth over 13,000 years ago, and ever since, the puffles have adapted to Earth's biosphere. Despite this, puffles are quite lovable, and it is quite hard to tell that they're even extra-terrestrial. The more intelligent, upper-class puffles are huge advocates of the space program, as they are interested in finding out their species' origin. ■Puffles have few natural enemies, as they don't taste good due to their odd biochemistry. One of the few predators are the Zombie Puffles. ■Approximately 50% of the puffle population can speak in languages known to penguin-kind, and the other 50% can't.

These percentages are constantly shifting around, but remain generally within the 45 to 55 percentile region. However, all puffles have IQs above 120, near the intelligence level of an average penguin (150 points). The percent of each color of puffle that can talk is different, as around 30% of red puffles can talk, but 70% of black puffles can. Different locations also have a different range, such as Club Penguin having 14% of puffles speaking, while 96% of the puffles in Puffle'and can talk. To adopt a puffle, go inside the pet shop and open the Adopt a Puffle catalog (the clipboard). Next, click on the puffle you want to adopt. Members can adopt twenty puffles, but non-members can only adopt two. Then type in the name you want your puffle to be, and it will be in your Igloo!
