Roleplaying

"What?!" I hear most people saying, "Roleplaynig on Zwinky?! No way!" Believe it or not, it's happened, most of the time in the graveyard, or in one of the places you can access from the graveyard. Here are some tips for it:
• Change your avatar to match the roleplay! It makes absolutely no sense having a werewolf or cat looking like a normal human! Unless you are playing a normal human, in which case, you might not need to change your avatar that much...
• use OOC. Using OOC is just putting "OOC:" before the thing in OOC. Since Zwinky has no forums that I know about, you say one thing in OOC, enter it, then type the actual roleplay part.
• There are many ways to tell if someone is using OOC or not. I like putting my OOC like this: ((This is an example of how I put my OOC. )) Some people do similar stuff, like [[ ]], {{ }}, and ( ).
• Once again, since Zwinky has no forums that I know about, we can't do stuff like, "Jill closed the door behind her, relieved that Bob had stopped chasingher, at least for a while. 'Whew, that was seriously close..." she muttered to herself." Instead, do something like this if you're Jill: "*closes door* *muttering* Whew, that was close..."
• If you're character changes in the roleplay, change your avatar. For example: Let's use Jill again. Say, Bob was a vampire, and he'd managed to bite her, turning her into a vampire. Then, Jill should change her avatar to look more like a vampire.
• Speaking of that, ONLY CHANGE ANOTHER CHARACTER IF IT IS OKAY WITH THE OTHER ROLEPLAYER. No, Seriously. Ask them in OOC. If it isnn't okay, you can attempt to do i but miss. Let's say you're bob for a minute. Jill doesn't want her character to be a vampire. You can say, "Bob attempts to bit Jill on the neck, but misses and falls onto the ground."

Happy roleplaying!

Shocktoberfest!

Hey! Am I the only one excited about Shocktoberfest??? PLEASE tell me that I'm not! With Ms. Information's humorous comment about Mr. Foxtrot's room, I am ready for the horror! But, uh... What room do I go in...? I have decided to make a guide to all of the rooms so that you know what to expect when you go in.



The Lobby is the room with the music. You could stay there, perhaps, but the other rooms get lots of attention. The lobby has the drinks that you can do stuff with. the middle one can be bought withou the ZCard, unlike the other two. Here is an example of what the lobby looks like:



The Spooky Spirit chatroom is the scariest, in my opinion. There's a coffin and bones and gravestones, oh my! The eyes and skull also make this a spooky room. It is perfect for graveyard roleplaying games. (Roleplaying games? Oh, uh... forgot to do that blog post, heh... I'll do that after I post clever costumes... >_>; )

The creepy crawler room is CREEPY. No, seriously. This room, which is best for the boyish roleplays, has bugs all around it. I, personally, as a girly girl/fashionista don't like it, but I went in anyway. If you have a gross brother, well, direct them to that room if you don't want to have to deal with them.

The black magic room is my second favorite room. It features a spellbook, two caldrons, many candles, and a broomstick. This might be the best room for fantasty roleplaying.

The final room, and my favorite room, is the pumpkin patch. When I went there, I was the only tall person there! O_O; It felt awkward!!! Anyway, I like it because it is the most versatile room for roleplaying. There are pumpkins everywhere!

Okay, now, off to post more! I will try to post more tips as often as possible now. I will only post when I have days off of school though.

Costumes to suit your style

Goth: Okay, you have one of the most unique styles. Your style is extra cool this time of the year, though, because of Halloween! The skulls and chains on your clothes help you look extra spooky, which is good this time of year. The hairstyle that might add to that is the Cavegirl hairstyle. This might seem awfully girly, but a pair of black mary jane shoes would make an excellent addition to any outfit. The Spider Queen dress is just THE BEST gothic costume in The Skeleton's Closet.




Prep: Now might be the season of the witch, but there is still an opportunity for being girly! The Dorothy hair looks adorable on your avatar, no matter what, and you can choose the color of the ribbons, so it goes well with lots of things. The Geisha sandals are beautiful, and can go with lots of stuff. For you, the Dorothy costume might be the best way for you to go. The adorable puppy is just irresistable, and it looks beautiful with just about any color scheme.

Fashionista: You are willing to follow any fashion as long as it is "In," so this year, the new styles provide a lot of opportunity. For you, the short hair might be the right choice. For shoes, the leopard boots are purr-fect. (Haha, get it?) Those leapord boots look totally cool with a matching cavegirl dress.

Other styles that might appeal to people:



Havre a great day, folks!

Tips for your room

So, you just managed to save up some ZBucks to buy your room. That's great! But, uh oh... When you go in, not only is it extremely bland, but you have no clue how the heck you're going to decorate it! Thankfully, I put together this guide on how to decorate your room so that there will be no splashing random colors on your walls and hoping that it will go together. =)

• Try choosing a color scheme. I love blue and green color schemes, and pink and orange are AWESOME together. Another thing, try soft versions of those colors. A spring green and pale blue work together like magic. Or, if you are daring, try a bold orange and hot pink. If you are gothic, a black or gray would look totally cool with a dark red or dark purple.

• Try browsing through the furniture in the stores. Want a spooky room? The Skeleton's Closet has lots of halloween decorations for you. Are you looking for a more girly room? The ZLoft is the correct answer for you. There are so many options for furniture, I can't name them all!

• If you are looking for a spooky room, Candles are awesome lighting, and a hanging skeleton never fails to add a spoky touch to any room. If you want a girly room, You might want to keep away from the Skeleton's Closet and stick to the ZLoft. (Unless you like pumkkins. then, you can go in there to buy a few pumpkins or buy the bed.)

• Ease up on the accessories! I know it is tempting to put tons of candles on the floor or put one million butterflies on the wall, but you want people to be able to walk around and be able to see the walls. A few butterflies or candles can make a beautiful addition to any room, but don't overdo it.

Safety Tips

Have you tried to enter the "Zwinky Safety Room" on Zwinky, but you don't know the password? The password for that place is Zafety, but SHHH!!! You didn'y hear it from me! XD Anyway, here are a few tips that will make your stay in Zwinky a pleasent one:
• NEVER share your password with ANYONE.
• Never reveal where you live. (Country is okay, but no getting more specific than that!)
• Don't tell anyone your age. (If they ask, come up with something to say like "I'm immortal" or "I lost track of time 1,000,000 years ago.")
• Don't let people online know your real name, first or last. (I messed up BAD on this one on my old account on Zwinky...) (And, come to think of it, I also messed up with putting my real name on my name on this... Oops.)
• Don't agree to meet ANYONE online if you don't know them in real life.
• Don't even say the name of your favorite hangout. Believe it or not, that could let someone track you or a friend down easily.

Alright, today I will also post a few tips for your room on Zwinky and a few fashion tips for each unique style. Now I have 2,000 zcheivements, so I can now tell you what styles you can use if you have 2,000 zcheivements, too, but I'll never stop using the clothes you start out with.

Makeup Tips

This doesn't matter much if you're using the "Hottie" body on Zwinky, but if you're using the "Cutie" figure, everyone can see your makeup clearly, so I reccomend using a few makeup tips that I will say here.

NOTE: My mom used to be a beauty therapist, so don't tell me that I don't know anything about Makeup, lol.



• Less is more. (I don't think this really counts on Zwinky...)

• Neutral colors are best, unless you're dressing up. But, don't wear green lipstick... Seriously...

• Also, keep makeup subtle. Once again, Don't wear bright makeup. I don't think that blue, green, or purple are natural skin colors. ^_~

Here are some pictures:



Soon, I will post tips for staying safe on Zwinky.

Bri's Zwinky Blog intro / Woman's Fall Fashion

Hello, and welcome to my Zwinky Blog. I will post things like funny Zwinky events, Zwinky Tips, and Fashion of Zwinky! so, let's get started with a little fashion. This is a blog mainly for girls that go on Zwinky, but, hey, you never know when a man will want to know what girls like. =)



Since it is fall, Don't go around in a swimsuit. If you need a few suggestions, take a look at these avatars I created on my main account, xdragonxprincessx.

Hey, if you're like me and you haven't got 2000 zcheivements yet, the LEAST you can do is a sweater and some jeans.

If you want to wear a skirt, make sure you wear leggings too. Also, a scarf is a useful and stylish thing. All the scarves are available since you start playing Zwinky, thankfully. =)

Also, a few tips:

•Hoodies are SO cool this time of year if you have 2000 zcheivements.

•Lots of stores have cool items, too. Go check the stores out and see what you can find!

•The jackets in the jackets section are awesome. There is a fur stole if you have 2000 zcheivements and want to dress up, and there is a crop sweater if you feel a bit more casual. =)

• I was surprised when I saw how many people were running around with short shorts and a bikini top on. That's seriously just ASKING to catch a cold. I seriously hope they don't dress like that in real life...
