The Woogi Honors Free-For-All!

Hello again Earth Agents!

It's here! FREE WOOGI HONORS for everybody!!

It's just our way of saying thanks to all of you who have supported Woogi World during the 2 years that we've been online.  And from all the comments that I got during the last week, I can tell that you're as excited about it as I am!

Now you'll get to experience some of the cool benefits that Woogi Honors has to offer: more Wigwam floors, Xoogi pets, sending Bulletin Board messages, more storage for your items... the list seems never-ending!

There are a few things to keep in mind, however:

1. Only Woogies created BEFORE Wednesday can sign up for this.
2. You need to sign up BEFORE the end of the day on Friday!
3. Your free Woogi Honors will only last for 30 DAYS after you sign up.  After that, you'll become a regular Woogi again unless you buy Woogi Honors.

---

Now I'm sure you have a lot of questions, so allow me to answer the "biggies" for you:

How do I sign up for free Woogi Honors?
Just click on the new floating billboard that's next to the Woogi Readers Club to sign up!

What happens after the 30 days are over?
You'll get to keep most of your stuff, like your Wigwam floors, but certain privileges, like taking your Xoogi outside, will require buying Woogi Honors.

Why does Woogi Honors cost money?
A lot of Woogies have put a lot of hard work into making Woogi World a really cool place to hang out.  So when you buy Woogi Honors, you help these Woogies to keep making new and exciting things for Woogi World.  (They also have a lot of little Woogi mouths to feed!)

Can you make Woogi Honors cheaper for me, BigWig?
I sure can!  If you decide to buy Woogi Honors during the next 30 days, it'll cost you 20% less than it normally would.  Isn't that neat?

What about us kids that already have Woogi Honors?
No need to worry, Earth Agents.  If you're already a Woogi Honors member, there's a bunch of new things coming soon that you'll get to have first.  Check your Bulletin Board messages for all the info!

What new things are coming for Woogi Honors members?
I wish I could tell you about ALL the new things coming for Woogi Honors members, but Dr. Wiggenstein has made me take the "Vow of Ultimate Secrecy," so I can't.  There is one NEW thing I can tell you about though:

NEW WIGWAM BACKGROUNDS HAVE ARRIVED!

Starting today, anybody that is a Woogi Honors member (including those that sign up for the free 30 days) can use their watts to buy custom backgrounds for their Wigwam basements! 

Check out some of the awesome NEW backgrounds that you'll get to choose from (click the pictures to see them larger):

And that's only half of them!  Basements are going to be a great place to show items off to your friends and have your own parties.  For you creative types, maybe you could even theme your basement so that your walls match the furniture in the room!  I can't wait to see what great ideas you come up with!

---

Now that you have Woogi Honors free for a month, what are you most excited about doing?  Taking care of a Xoogi?  Buying more basements?  Adding new basement backgrounds?  Or something else entirely?  Drop me a line in the comments and let me know!

Until next time, Earth Agents!

How About a Nice Cup of Tea?

Hi there, Earth Agents!

I hope you've all enjoyed the Woogi Readers Club so far!  Palace told me that she had a real great time meeting everybody last Friday, but running a club is a lot more work than she thought it would be...

But thanks to her dedication, a lot of new things have already been added to the Readers Club this week.  There's the new Grammar Crammer game, which I've had a lot of fun playing!  There's also the new Reading Station in the Rikki-Tikki-Tavi room.  Now you can read (and print!) the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi before you play its Chapter Challenge.  Reading the story will help you get 100% on the game, which is important if you want to add those stickers to the Sticker Album you got when you joined the club! 

So why are stickers important?  You'll soon see... My sources tell me that even more changes will be coming to the Woogi Readers Club within the next week or two - and one of them makes collecting stickers something that you'll really want to do!  Be sure to keep your eyes open for these exciting additions!

Time-Out for Tea-Time

And now for the story that so many of you wanted to hear.  Thanks for all your comments!  This the story of how a cup of tea (and a little quick-thinking) saved the Woogi Readers Club:

Recently I sent Palace on a top-secret mission to seek out the galaxy's best books and return them to the Planet Woog.  However, even the best missions can run into problems sometimes.  Palace was on her way back to us when her ship, the WSS Shakespeare, was overtaken by a band of ruthless space pirates!  They boarded the Shakespeare and demanded to see its cargo. 

Worried that the books she had collected would end up in the wrong hands, Palace invited the space pirates to a nice cup of tea.  Since they were quite tired from all their plundering, they gladly accepted her offer. 

So while the space pirates were enjoying their hot drink, Palace quickly encrypted each of the books into the ship's Holo-Library.  By the time the space pirates had finished their tea, she was done. Oh boy, were those pirates upset to find out that the ship was missing all its cargo!  Because what can a space pirate do if there's nothing to steal?  Before leaving, the space pirates warned Palace to watch her back... and then kindly thanked her for the cup of tea. 

Since she's returned to Woogi World, Palace has been hard at work decrypting all the books stored in the Holo-Library so that she can share them with the members of the Woogi Readers Club.  It's slow work, but it just means that the Readers Club will continue to grow and grow for many years to come!  All I can say is... Thank goodness for Palace's quick thinking - and that she had enough tea!

How'd you like the story?  Isn't Palace just the coolest book bounty hunter that you know?!

Free Woogi Honors? Sign Me Up!

Now that I got your attention with that great story about Palace... how does getting Woogi Honors for free sound to you?  If you asked me, I'd say it's downright awesome!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we were looking for ways to thank all of you for making Woogi World one of the coolest places for kids on the Internet.  It's been almost 2 years since it started and Woogi World just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

As our thank-you gift to YOU, we've decided to give everybody a FREE Woogi Honors membership for 30 days - starting on Thanksgiving Day.  Now you can get that Xoogi that you've always wanted, use more words when you're chatting with your buddies, enjoy some extra space for all your outfits, and more!

More details about this gift will come next week, so make sure to check my Blog and read the Announcements on your Bulletin Board!

Until next time, Earth Agents!

Beam Me Up... a Good Book!

Hello Earth Agents,

Let's start this week's blog with the question on everyone's mind: Where's Captain Kexx?  Many of you came to the Woogi Readers Club Open House last Friday expecting to meet him, but he wasn't there.  Sure, we had a great time anyway, but I can understand why some of you may have been disappointed.  Well, here's what happened:

Late last week (after I wrote the blog), some of our intergalactic spies reported seeing strange objects orbiting above the Planet Wigg (our old home planet).  This certainly came as a surprise to all of us and we worried that Count Weevil was up to his old tricks again.  After giving it a lot of thought, we decided to call Captain Kexx back to active duty.  He is one of our best fighters and is now stationed above the Planet Wigg, defending it against the threat of attack.  By the time many of you arrived for the Open House on Friday, he had already left for this new mission.  We wish him all the best!

Unfortunately, this left us with a small problem...

Who's the Leader of the Woogi Readers Club?

As luck would have it, one of my old friends had just returned from a top secret mission and was able to fill the opening left by Captain Kexx.  Many of you have already met her and I can't think of a better choice for the job.

Her name is Palace and she is a book bounty hunter.  Normally bounty hunters try to catch criminals, but Palace searches the galaxy to find the best books instead.  She says the job is just her cup of tea. 

And speaking of that, perhaps I'll tell you the story about how a cup of tea saved the Woogi Readers Club.  Of course, I'll only tell the story if enough of you want to hear it.  So if you do, be sure to let me know in the comments section!

Woogi Readers Club Opening on Friday!

Now for something real BIG!  Be sure to mark your calendars, Earth Agents.  The Woogi Readers Club opens this Friday and you'll want to be there for the grand opening:

Friday
November 14, 2008
3:00 pm (Pacific Time)

Palace will be there to welcome you to the club.  Other celebrities are sure to show up too.  There will be some new games to play, secret rooms to discover, and a gift for everyone that joins the club (hint: check your wallet after joining). 

What I'm trying to say is... you won't want to miss it!

Until next time, Earth Agents!

After the After-Election Party

Hi there, Earth Agents!

Still wondering what that fuzzy TV image from last week was?  It was Dr. Wiggenstein speaking on the new Woogi World Stadium stage.  You can even see his big head on the Woogi-Tron screen, just like you saw me at the After-Election Party:

I really had a great time hosting the event and I hope you had a good time too while playing the games and watching the election results! 

At the end, your choice for the next U.S. President was revealed to be Barack Obama... just like in real-life!  Congratulations on exercising your Woogi World right to vote!  You did an excellent job supporting your candidates.

---

So Where Are My Prizes?

Now some of you have been wondering how to get the prizes that you won at the party.  Watts have already been awarded to everybody who earned enough Stadium Points.  Check your wallets!

The real-life Sony prizes are still on the way and an email will be sent very soon to all the winners.  These emails will be sent to the email address that your parent or guardian used when they signed you up for Woogi World, so nicely ask them to look for it for you (even in the Spam folder, just in case it accidentally ended up there).

---

Is This the End of Voting?

So what will happen to the Voting Booth now that the election is over?  Good news!  The Voting Booth is here to stay!  Look for a new poll every day.

Not only that, but the Woogi World Stadium will return in the future to host more special events and parties!

Another Month, Another New Building...

Woogi World will be seeing even more new changes this week when we expand our borders!  That's right... new parts of the map will be opening up and they'll include a NEW CLUB BUILDING!

Curious about the new club building?  Then you should come to the OPEN HOUSE that Woogi World will be having for it on FRIDAY NIGHT!

Even though the club won't officially be open yet, you'll still get to explore all the rooms in the new building and even meet a new celebrity, Captain Kexx, who will be there to introduce himself!

More details about the Open House will be coming soon to the Bulletin Board inside your Wigwam!  Don't miss it!

So what did you think of the After-Election Party?  I'd like to hear all about it in the Comments section...

Until next time, Earth Agents!
