Club Penguin (post 3)

This afternoon I tried to figure out how to play games and earn coins on Club Penguin. It was a bit tricky to figure out where to play the games but I figured out where some were basically just by clicking on anything I could until options came up to play games.

I played a single player inner-tubing game first. It was pretty simply. You just us
e your mouse to go back and forth and click to jump over things. In the end I ended up killing myself in the game because it got boring but I earned some "coins" with it which I assume I can use at the various shopping places on the map.

They do have multi-player games however on the site I found when I walked into one room and sat down at one of these connect four looking boards. I was about to type "anyone want to play?" as you can see on the bottom of the screen but somebody had already started playing with me before I finished typing it. It was a quick game and when I won, I got 10 coins.

Today was also the first time I ran into an instance where I was limited in what I could do because I didn't have a membership. There was three different versions of the "Puffle Rescue" game and two of them were for members only. I'm not really sure it would have been worth it seeing as the two I couldn't play were just different versions of the game I could play, so not really anything new.

When I walked into the Pizza shop on Club Penguin was one of the first times I actually saw people interacting on the website with one another. Occasionally I'll see people say "hi" to others but here one member tells all those in the room who are girls to say "i" to which many respond. Also, people seem to be having conversations at the tables. Although people were asking/ answering questions, it never amounted to any conversation with much substance . Most users seem content on just waddling around and playing games by themselves.

Next time I'm on CP, I'm going to spend some of the coins I earned today to try to customize my penguin! Maybe then I'll also have a better chance of fitting in with the experienced users since I feel like I'm one of the only ones who's penguin doesn't have clothes.
