To be considered for the Official Pandanda Blogroll, your blog must meet these requirements:

2. The blog is updated at least once per week.

Snowman day with sheriff steele

Snowman Day with Sheriff Steele

Brrrrrr! Does it seem extra-cold in Pandanda today? It must be because of all the snowmen hopping around for Snowman Day! You can be a Snowman today, too! Just collect 5 Stocking Stuffers and trade them to Chilly the Snowman for his Frosty Potion. Drink that potion and you'll be a Snowman!

Snowmen move pretty slowly, but they can dance and jump! And Snowmen look REALLY cool when they jump! Try it for yourself, and see what I mean!

Sheriff Steele has made his first visit of the day, and he had a great time chatting with pandas on Willow and Oak. He doesn't get to visit Pandanda very often, so when he does, he likes to see as many different pandas as possible! And even though he can't add friends to his list, he wants you all to know that he considers all of the citizens of Pandanda as his friends!

I promised Sheriff that I would post some pictures from his morning visit, so here they are:

Sheriff Steele will be visiting again today at 5pm Pandanda Time. He hopes to see lots of jolly Snowmen on his visit, and to meet more awesome Panda friends!

Remember, if you want to show off your holiday-decorated treehouse, take a screenshot and send it to screenshots@pandanda.com. Make sure to send the entire screen of your treehouse, from your Panda name in the top left corner all the way to your backpack in the bottom right corner so we won't miss a single detail!

Check out the new Poll over on the right side. Cast your vote for your favorite Winter Festival prize!

Keep it Snowy!

Festive photo with your friends Contest.

Festive Photo with Your Friends Contest!

One of the best things about the Holiday season is getting together with your friends. That is why I am pleased to announce the “Festive Photo with Your Friends” contest! The goal of the contest is to take the best seasonal picture of your panda with your friends (It's ok to include other pandas who are also playing who may not be on your friends list.)

The most festive, creative and original picture of you and your friends celebrating the holiday season will win the awesome prize of a gift certificate for a 6 month Elite Membership, 200 Panda Gold, and 5000 Panda Power. Plus, you’ll get another 6 month Elite Membership to give to a friend! 

There is a limit of one entry per email address (the one you used when you created your panda) per day. Entries must be received atcontest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Sunday, December 18th. The winner will be announced on Saturday, December 24th in my blog.

Prizes

1 Grand Prize winner will receive:

• A 6 Month Elite Membership gift certificate for you
• A  second 6 Month Elite Membership gift certificate for your friend.
• 200 Panda Gold for you.
• 5000 Panda Power for you.

Here are a few tips:

• Be original and creative. It's ok to try and organize other players in the game to get the coolest, greatest shot ever! If players don't cooperate, though, it is not ok to bully them or be mean. We have so many players around the world, and some may not understand what you're saying. Also remember that safe chat players can't see what you may be chatting.
• Your picture can be taken anywhere in the game. It is ok to drop into a friend's tree house to take your picture. There are some pretty fancy tree houses out there!
• It's ok to crop your picture to whatever size you think looks nice, or you may submit an entire screenshot.
• Cropping the picture is ok, but digitally editing or enhancing your screenshot is not. Digitally edited submissions will be disqualified.

To submit your entry (have your parent or guardian help you):

1. Read and obey the rules. Entering the competition means that you and your parent/guardian agree to the rules. If you are under 13 years old, please ask your parent or guardian to review them with you, along with our website Terms of Use , specifically with regard to the use of submissions you send to us.
2. Ask your parent or guardian to email your entry to contest@pandanda.com from their email address, the one they used when they signed you up for Pandanda. Your entry MUST come from the email address that we have on file for your Pandanda account.
3. Type the words "Picture Contest" in the subject line of the email.
4. Type your Panda name in the text of the email for example "Panda Name: Paige."
5. Do NOT include your real name, house address, phone number, or password.
6. Email your entry to be received by Pandanda no later than Sunday, December 18th at 11:59pm, Pacific Standard Time (PST). There is a limit of one entry per valid email address per day.

A complete list of contest rules and a few helpful tips can be found here.

I can’t wait to see your pictures!

Game Day TOMARROW!

Game Day in Pandanda This Saturday!

Hooray! It's time for another action-packed Game Day on Saturday! Make sure your bunny-catching nets don't have any holes in them, and charge up your ghost-catching backpacks so you are ready for your chance to earn lots of Pandanda Coins, and maybe even Panda Gold!

You will have a chance to win Panda Gold from Moderators in games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill. The Mods will be hosting as many games as they can fit into their shifts, giving you lots of chances to win Panda Gold. Instead of awarding 25 Gold for 1st place and 10 Gold for 2nd place like they usually do, they will award 250 Gold to 1st place and 100 Gold to 2nd place!

Also, every multiplayer game will award double Coins on Saturday. That means every time you play Pen the Pig, Line 4, Ghosts of Misty Hill, and Bunny Chase, you will receive twice as many Pandanda Coins as you usually do. There is no limit to the amount of Panda Coins you can win!

There is one change for Game Day to the usual rules for Panda Gold games. Normally, the rule is that you can only win Panda Gold once a day. But for Saturday only, you can win more than once a day, but you can only win Gold once from each Moderator.

For example, say you won Panda Gold from Skippers. If you play another game with Skippers and come in 1st or 2nd place, you can't win any more gold from him. But, if you see another Mod, like Gemmza, later, and play and win a game with her, you CAN win Panda Gold again! Every Mod will be keeping a list of their winners.

One rule has not changed - NO POTIONS! Just use your regular Panda skills to catch those bunnies and ghosts, with no help from turbo or bunny potions. I know everyone will play fairly!

I will be hosting some Panda Gold Games tomorrow, too! I'm planning to kick off Game Day with visits at 6am Pandanda Time,  8am Pandanda Time,  12pm Pandanda Time then once more at 8pm Pandanda Time. You can click on each link to see what time it will be where you live.

Remember, you can only earn Panda Gold from  games that a Moderator or I am hosting. We will be traveling around all of the servers, so you might have a better chance of winning if you play on a less-crowded server. Panda Gold games will be available from 6am-1pm Pandanda Time, from 2-3pm Pandanda Time, from 4-7pm Pandanda Time, and during my final 8-9pm Pandanda Time visit, but you can earn double coins all day long!

Get ready to play!

Red and green color day today

Red and Green Color Day!

It's a beautiful Red & Green Day in Pandanda today! I hope everyone is all decked out in your best red and green clothes, accessories and Panda Paint! Don't have any red or green? Head over to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street to pick up Panda Paint in red and green, and a cool red Santa hat for your head!

I will be popping into Pandanda a few times during the day to chat, hang out, and take some pictures. I'd love to see your pictures, too! You can send one or two of your best Red & Green Day pictures to me at screenshots@pandanda.com. I'll feature some in my blog, and put them all into an album for all to see!

I am really behind in decorating my treehouse for Christmas! I've got to get that done this week! Mr. Elmhurst has Christmas decorations you can buy for your treehouse. You can find him on West Market Street. There are decorations for non-members at certain Quest levels, as well as for Elite members, so get decorating!

Party on in Red & Green!

Elite Day

It's Free Elite Member Day!

It's here, it's here! Another fun Free Elite Member Day has arrived in Pandanda Land. It's the day when everyone who isn't an Elite member can get a little taste of all the fun you can have with an Elite membership!

Everyone who logs in today, November 26th,  will have full access to all of Pandanda's Elite Membership features for one day!** You can use your Pandanda coins to buy anything at the Clothing Co. on East Market Street! Decorate your tree house with furniture from the House & Tree catalog, and unlock your tree house to have friends over! You can adopt a pet dragon from the Pet Shop! And you can even buy a Horse Companion from Questy, if you have reached a high enough Quest Level!

Questy’s Horse Companions are Elite items. Dragon eggs will remain in your tree house, and will hatch later in the week.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Pandanda Pals! I am so thankful to have you all as my friends! I hope you will take some time today to think of all of the things that you are thankful for. Make sure to let the people you are thankful for know how much you appreciate them!

Today would be a great day to gather your Pandanda friends around the Thanksgiving table at East Market Street to share your thanks, and to enjoy the company of each other. Make sure to pick up the free yummy roasted turkey leg from the Clothing Co. catalog to nibble on while you chat.

After you've stuffed yourself with turkey, it's time to get moving! Get your panda some exercise by playing Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill, and by traveling all over Pandanda collecting gems, fruits and vegetables, and recyclables. Make sure to sell the things you collect to the vendors so you can earn coins to spend on Free Elite Member Day on Saturday.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Henry
