Magic (A CyberAgent Message)

Magic makes CyberAgent Sucks appear; c/o facebook.com/itwasmagic



A Pico named Magic, has decided to send Pico a big message. He has used his 'Magic' hacking skills to hack Cyberagent Inc., and sent them a big message ^. Remember you can send Cyberagent a big message too (NOT by hacking)! I just think of him as a role model for me (NOT  a role model for hacking)! 

He has placed the big message in NYC Downtown, in front of RinaRina's shop. 


Contact Ameba!


But not long ago, Magic was at it again. This time he hacked a Champs-Elysees room, if you have heard of it. I know I've been to that room! Its in the travel in France. Anyways, he has cloned the fashion show characters, and transported them to the room of  ɪтѕ вяee. Check out this video:




If you want to see what’s Magic will be up to next, follow his Facebook fan page:facebook.com/itwasmagic.

Balloon Party #2 is amazing!


                                  Left: Hieroglyph (owner of balloon party)                 Right: Me, Carmella (Carm)

Here I am, hanging out at the Balloon Party #2, hosted by <MissLindaK>. The Balloon Party makes a comeback after its first Balloon Party, held last week, @ 2:00 pm GMT. Now it comes back, since it was a HUGE hit! On the left, is Hieroglyph, the co-host of the Balloon Parties. The point of the Balloon Party is to let your consumables fly/eaten away. 

Now here I am, at the 2nd Balloon Party, which is also, held at the room of <MissLindaK>. We were having so much fun I decided to take a picture of us, wasting our consumables. There were more Pico's, its just that they were hanging around at the 3rd room. I wasted loads of my consumables that were so rudely staying in my pocket.

Some of my consumables even stayed in my pocket SINCE I JOINED PICO. Which, was a very long time ago. Hint: I got to celebrate Pico's first anniversary. But now sadly, Pico is coming to an end in less than a month, so Hieroglyph and <MissLindaK> had a wonderful idea of an amazing party to waste your consumables. Thank you sweeties! <3

There should be a Balloon Party #3! These parties are so much fun!

The Clock Times

The clock time at the bottom of a post, like this one, is not the exact time. Its one hour behind. If it says I'm writing this at 8:32 am, I'm actually writing at 9:32 am. Same goes on and on and on. So please note that if I say the balloon party starts in 15 minutes and you look at the time, and lets say it was 12:20 pm, it's actually 1:20 pm. So just keep this in mind, it might be helpful later on.

Got My Stuff Back



If you don't know what I'm talking about, please take a moment to view my "Hacked" article by clicking here.




I got my stuff I lost back! Well ya like my looks. Plus, I got a new I'd Love To action with my token from the daily scratch card! I'm still mad at the person who will forever stay anonymous in my blog. I mean, I have only a month to play on Pico, then I'm moving to Pigg. I won't waste my time!

I'll really miss my friends and my Pico. Unless you make a Pigg account.... Add me! Well... Can you teach me how to fish :P?

I kept on trying to catch a fish but I always fail... Any tips?

How to: Make An Ameba Pigg Account

Pico will close in just a month now, so mostly pico's are moving into the Pigg world permanently. This is the video way to make an account:



NOTE: In the video, it shows that you need to click a YELLOW button. Now you need to press a PINK button to make an account.

Screen shot of the Ameba Pigg login page

The transition is pretty difficult. First of all, most people talk Japanese, and for Ameba Gold, they don't accept foreign money. So most of the time you'll have to find gummie clothes and buy 'em. But there are enough visual cues from Pico to help you (e.g. places, navigations, etc.) if    you really want to find refuge in a Pico-esque community. 

Chances are you won’t be able to buy all of the eye-catching things you see other Pigg players wearing. Foreign (non-Japanese) credit cards are not accepted. So, you’ll be dressed in simple Gummies clothing. Your existence in Pigg will be one of modesty and simplicity. You get 10 free Tokens after you complete the tutorial. Use them wisely. Or save them.

Tips:
  • Make some Japanese friends who speak English in Pico (visit World Community Parks > Japanese Park, perhaps). Find out if they have Pigg and are willing to show you around there.
  • Download and/or use Google Chrome. When you visit a web page with text in a different language and asks you if you’d like it to translate for you.
    • If you decide not to use Chrome to auto-translate, use Bing or Google online translation tools.
  • Follow the official Pigg blog. It’s updated daily with new stuff going on in Pigg. There’salways something happening.
  • Visit the Let’s Play Pigg blog. It has many answers to questions you may have about life in Pigg – like how to get Tokens, play PiggLife, or using Scratch Cards. Note: It is no longer being updated as of Ocober 23, 2011.
  • Collect your daily freebies:
    • Change your clothes each day. You’ll earn 2 Gummies.
    • Click the yellow present on the right side of the screen when in your room. You’ll get a free random amount of Gummies.
    • Visit the Casino to get free random C$ from your card selection – just like in Pico.
    • Prop others; chances are they will prop you back. Ring those who prop you and they will likely return the favor. You’ll earn 1 Gummie for each prop and ring.
  • Play Scratch Cards every single day. You will win clothing and furniture items (but it costs 20 Gummies/scratch). So get ringing and propping!
It won’t be the same as Pico in a social sense. But enjoy your Pigg life nonetheless.
So to join, go to Google Translate, or Yahoo! Babelfish. Enter in the text: http://pigg.ameba.jp, and press the Translate button. Please note that the translation WILL NOT work on images with text on them. Then it will take you to the website. Click the pink big button, and it will translate the registration page.
The first box needs your email address. Click the box below and it will send a conformation to your email. After you clicked the link, it will take you to the site. The first line will ask your for your Pigg ID. It is NOT your Pigg's name ok? You just log in with it. Line 2 will ask you for a password. Make it memorable but not easy. (e.g. 12345678 is way too easy)
Line 4 will ask you for your Pigg nickname. This WILL be your Pigg's name. Line 5 will ask you for your gender. Female is first, Male is second. If you get an error, try re-doing it in Japanese. If your info is correct, type in the captcha letters. After, click the button below, and it will say your account is created. It will say your info. Then click the dark pink button to start customizing your Pigg!
Special Thanks To:  Hieroglyph For pictures, video, and the tips. <3

Hacked....


I got hacked. When I retrieved my account and changed my password, I realized some of my gummies were gone, and so were my looks. Nothing else was missing, which is lucky for me. Whoever did that should be ashamed, and he/she doesn't deserve to be innocent. I wrote a message to the Ameba Offices about everything that happened.

By the way, I think I should show you how to report, like how I did.

When Can I Report Someone?

You can report someone if they are using bad behaviour, spamming (such as writing useless messages over and over such as: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, H            E          L                 L                         O). Also you can when people are reporting someone for a FALSE abuse.

How To Report A Pico:

To report him/her, there are two ways. 


  1. For Facebook users, go to Pico and press report abuse at the bottom of the screen
  2. If you are NOT a Facebook user, go to official blog, http://info.pico.ameba.net/  and scroll to the bottom and press "contact". Then fill in the form. Be sure to include the time (does not have to be exact), date, and maybe even the Pico name if you remember.


I am very mad right now of what a Pico did to me. They DO NOT have the right to hack and bully ANYONE.






BEFORE









           




            AFTER :'(





Also DO NOT give your email or password out to ANYONE, even if they say they'll buy you lets say, 4,000 Ameba Gold. Ya, I understand you might want Ameba Gold, and you might want to give them your user/pass, but its not worth it. You won't get the Gold, but you'll lose things! Be careful my dear Pico citizens!


Your friend,
      Carmella

Youtube Messages

I checked my inbox for messages on my youtube acc., and here's the message that caught me:


I just watched one of your videos on YouTube, amazing! 

I truely believe your video could be the next big thing, however I noticed that it has not received too many views yet. 
It really blows me away that some of the junk that are on here get so popular, and then the actual good stuff like yours gets lost in the crowd. 

I don't say this often, but your videos were really some of the best I have seen on YouTube. 

I will let you get back to what you were doing, but I just wanted to make you aware that my friend used to have the same problem until she found a website called, 

BecomeViral . com


That is the sweetest message from fans I ever got! Thank you! The message was written by:

   nannieklu58


I also made a video with some Sparkling Pico news about whats happening since Pico will soon be a grave:
