One Year Of Club Penguin… The Bodge101 Story

As I promised, I’m going to do a quick autobiography of my penguin- because it is my penguin’s first birthday today! 365 days of Club Penguin! It sure doesn’t seem that long!

Anyway, I started on Club Penguin on 15th May 2007- but back then I couldn’t go on much! My internet was rubbish and slow because we didn’t have broadband and Club Penguin took forever to load! It wasn’t until a fair few months later that we got broadband- so I had to be patient with my computer’s slowness!

My first party was the Summer Party (parties didn’t happen every month back then)- where I got half of my favourite costume (it was a non-member one- I wasn’t a member back then!)! The items I got were the Hawaiian Lei and the Green Sunglasses (now the rarest sunglasses- but for how much longer?)- these two were part of the costume- and the Ice Cream Apron. Sadly I missed the flowery head item! Lol!

My next party was the Water Party (I won’t mention all the parties- just the significant ones!). There I completed my favourite non-member costume! Here’s a picture of it below:

Ok, I’m gonna go a bit faster now- this is getting a bit long winded!

During my penguin’s life so far, I have met Rockhopper two times- one time he gave me the eyepatch (which he used to give away if you met him until he gave it away as a regular free item (I was angry about that!))- the other I almost got the background but I arrived while he was leaving! I caught his last few words but then he went!    😦     😦

I became a member on 27th December 2007- the exchange rates were good (I won’t bother boring you with that now) so it only cost me £15! What a bargain! I had started this site five days prior to this (on 22nd) and this was (surpisingly) around the time of the Christmas Party 2007! Man, that was a good party!

Well that’s about it! well, I missed a lot out- but even so this hasn’t been a quick autobiography has it? Lol! Look out for more info on my party very soon!

Until next time…

Waddle on!

The Crow’s Nest

There was another room released yesterday (other than Rockhopper’s Quarters)- one which nobody was expecting! The Migrator’s crow’s nest! There is a huge, high powered cannon which you fire by hovering your mouse over it! Here are some pictures (click to enlarge):


Check it out! Also, I didn’t mention it before but you can wear the key to Rockhopper’s Quarters as a pin.
Until next time…

Rockhopper’s Quarters & New Game

Rockhopper’s Private Quarters are now open to the public! The key is hidden right at the end of his journal in the Book Room (after the newest writin’- which is worth a look too!). When you click on the key it does the usual ‘add to inventory’ thing and when you go to the Hold the door opens. This is what his Captain Quarters look like:

There is a notice board that thanks us all for helping him:

Finally, there is a new game called ‘Treasure Hunt!’ It’s multiplayer and is pretty good- although it’s quite hard to get a game when it’s so busy- the key is to wait until someone’s finished their game. Here’s a picture of the game screen:

All in all: it’s a cool new room! Rockhopper sure does live in luxury: it’s like a palace!
Until next time…
Waddle on!

Rockhopper & Yarr’s Arrival Party + Pin

Rockhopper and Yarr’s Arrival Party started today! There is a trail to follow right across the island. One direction leads to the new pin and one to the Sailor Hat (the free item). The Sailor Hat is at the Plaza:

The new pin is the Treasure Chest Pin, and is at the Ski Village. You have to click on the cross to dig it out:

Until next time…

Rockhopper Arriving Soon

Sorry I’m late with this- I have been very busy for the past week- and yesterday I spent most of the time I had to go on Club Penguin on the mission! Anyway, Rockhopper can be seen in the telescope- coming fast (but not moving???) in some sort of speedboat/rowing boat! Here’s a picture:

In the telescope he’s not actually moving nearer- Rockhopper’s island must be far away! He and Yarr will be arriving on Friday! There’s gonna be a massive party! WHOOOOOOOOO! I’m guessing an old pirate item will be available as the free item- maybe the boots! But it could be anything! Here is a snapshot from the paper about the upcoming party:

The party looks so cool! Check it out on Friday!

Until next time…

Waddle on!

Rockhopper Has Arrived

Rockhopper and Yarr have rowed to shore from the wreckage of the Migrator in their rowing boat- bringing with them a nice surprise! Despite the minor setback of having no ship, Rockhopper has still managed to bring us a fabulous new free item- the Life Vest. It is hidden on the beach in his rowing boat. It is a neck item, even though it is called a vest and they normally go on your body! Here is a picture of it:

I assume that means Rockhopper is now roaming the island again, but I haven’t yet seen him.

Until next time…

Waddle on!

Shipwrecked

Rockhopper is shipwrecked! It is official! Rockhopper is rowing away from the wreck on the migrator with Yarr his puffle. Do they have any other crew? If they do then they don’t seem to have escaped! Am I the only one who noticed that only Rockhopper and Yarr escaped? These are pictures of the wreck, taken from the telescope at the Beacon:

Many of us penguins always thought that the iceberg that appeared in view from the telescope just before Christmas was a bad omen, but never did we even dream it would create a scene of devastation such as this! This unexpected event is going to cause a special event in February. Also, if you were wondering, it is not part of the mission to help Rockhopper.

Until next time…

Waddle on!
