MiniMonos Monkey of the Week!!

Hi monkeys, Mystery Monkey here! :)

This weeks MOTW is.....miniJghRocks!

miniJghRocks always loves to talk and help new monkeys around the island, he even gives them tours as much as he can ^.^ He is very friendly to all monkeys.

He also makes sure to keep as much poo as he can off the MiniMonos Island and helps recycle  items :-)  If you visit his tree house his recycling bin is almost always empty and keeps his cloud powered electricity running. 

So if you see miniJghRocks around make sure you congratulate him for MOTW and everything he's done for MiniMonos!

He also loves to post on his blog about MiniMonos every time there is an update! So well done, miniJghRocks! You totally and most definitely deserved MOTW!

~Mystery Monkey

I agree with all the things Mystery Monkey has said about miniJghRocks. ^^ miniJghRocks is always there to give a helping hand to everyone and he's just plain friendly! :D Lol and he loves to joke around with everyone and act silly, he is like the clown of our monkey community, xD! Congrats miniJghRocks and continue being your silly self, hehehe! :P

I thought MiniJghrocks would get the MOTW! The perfect match for this week by far! Congrats dude and awesome job!

Oh I sooo knew it! Told minijgh that I thought Motw was him. :D Hehe I do agree with Mystery monkey! Great job!! Hehe wondering who this week's mystery monkey will be... -Hi

Hey Minijhrocks! Congratz on MOTW, you deserve it, you always cheer me up! :) You rock!! I love ya!!
~Cptodayiscool~ ;)

P.S. I told you you should win something for how nice you are!! :)

Thanks Everyone! :)

Congrats, MiniJghRocks! You always make us laugh and we love your comments on Talk Tuesday :-)

We thought it was halarious how Hi had guessed about you being the Mystery Monkey and you were trying to throw him off by saying "I think YOU are the MM!" LOL!!!!!

And yet it still didn't work :p

And yet it still didn't work :p

Hmm, I think yes, a chance for more monkeys to get the fly shirt :) -Hi

Yeah i agree with Hi. It would be nice for more monkeys to get a chance. Because it wouldn't be fair to just have some monkeys have it. It wouldn't be fair to others who have worked hard trying to get the shirt :)

Peace in the East!
Doggy

In my opinion I think it should be until beta ends because it would be like a beta item in Minimonos once the game launches. :)

-MiniP

I think you SHOULD do it again, but you should also do it with ALL the games, such as recycling and the cloud game :)

I think you SHOULD do it again, but you should also do it with ALL the games, such as recycling and the cloud game :)

i think they should be every week because when they gave them out i was trying so hard and other monkeys wants them lots!!!

Cade77

How about every month

Here is my thought on the Fly Shirt. I think that each month, there will be a t-shirt for the top 10 players for each game. So everyone has a chance because there is one game everyone is really good at compared to others. So once the last game is played for a tshirt, the shirts would end.

Could be a Can for Recycle
switch sign for the go go green
cloud for monkey flight
ninja band for monkey fist

What do you think?

TTP Winners?! Fly t-shirtst?! Im really out of it!! XD i just chose the last one ^.^

And the shirts will return! :D
I think if someone who has already won one is on the list, then they should not receive one, and Just add 11th, 12th, and so on. :p

Monkey Fact Monday: Geoffroy's Spider Monkey

Welcome to another Monkey Fact Monday! Did you know that primates and monkeys have fingerprints just like we do? Some monkeys even have fingerprints on the end of their tails! One of these monkeys is the spider monkey :-)

While reading about monkey fingerprints I stumbled upon some really cool facts about a certain kind of spider monkey - the Geoffroy's Spider Monkey! These spider monkeys are also known as Black Handed Spider Monkeys. You can find them in Central America, parts of Mexico & Columbia because they're a type of New World Monkey, like those really noisy Howler Monkeys!

File:Ateles-geoffroyi 48090548.jpg

They are arboreal, which means they live most of their lives up in the trees. Their tail is prehensile and has a "palm-like pad" at the end of it where their fingerprint (tailprint?) is!

Their tails can support their full weight and makes it really easy for them to get around in the trees, which is good for them because their diet is mostly fleshy fruit and leaves. They have been known to eat insects, flowers, bark, honey and bird eggs as well. Yum yum!

One of the coolest things about the Geoffroy's Spider Monkey is that in the wild they sometimes spread a mix of their saliva and ground lime leaves on their fur. People think this could be their way of repelling bugs! I bet they hate getting bug bites as much as you or I do :-) Do you think chewing on Lime Tree leaves would be worth it, though?

Hope you enjoyed this week's Monkey Fact Monday! Don't forget that next week you could see your facts in the next Monkey Fact update! Please send us any cool or funny or interesting facts that you may find and want to share!

MiniMonos Updates!

Hello Monkeys! miniJghrocks here! xD

As you all probably  know, MiniMonos underwent some construction.... for the new updates! :D

I think the new updates are amazing! If you look around the homepage, you'll see plenty of new things. Of course, a whole new homepage!

Home As you can see, many new things! First off, Fan Art Friday has its own page now! You can go there and watch all the Fan Art Friday videos!

Also, a completely new feature, called Color in!

Coloring In Pics

Not too good at drawing (like me xD)?  You can print off those coloring sheets, color them in, and send them back in to be in the next Fan Art Friday :D They are all pretty cool, and you should definitely go check them out!

Another cool thing now is that on all the kids pages, in the top right hand corner there's a link to the youtube page and to the Go Bananas Blog!

Woo

Also, the in-game updates! First off, when you log in, you'll need to head to the right side of the town!

And then, go inside the building and you'll see......

Mutt's Art Gallery!

MWhen you talk to Mutt, he'll tell you all about his gallery, and how very soon, OUR OWN art could be in it! :D How cool! 

He'll also give you a link to the blog, to post art in Viper and Calypso's art competition, or a link to email him at mutt@minimonos.com, where you can also send in artwork for him! :D

M

Pretty cool, huh?

M

And doesn't he just look so happy playing his paint can bongos? xD

The art gallery also stretches on and on, and it makes you feel like you're flying! :D

M

I think the updates are REALLY cool, and you should definitely take a look at everything, and maybe even submit some art :D

See you later Monkey People!

Ninja Q-l-<

~miniJghRocks

Awesome post, miniJghRocks -- thanks! -- it's great to have you on board as our latest mogger! 

Don't forget, monkeys, that for the next 3 weeks, your awesome art could win you a MiniMonos membership or a heap of banana chips!  See Viper and Calypso's humongous bananatastic art competition below, or click on the bananatastic art competition button on the Go Bananas sidebar!

Humongous, bananatastic art contest giveaway!!

Hey Monkeys!  In honour of Mutt's new Gallery update, Viper and I (Calypso) got together and planned a HUMONGOUS, BANANATASTIC art contest!

Viper and I have been planning this contest with the help of the whole MiniMonos Staff for weeks!

It is HUMONGOUS so there will be HUMONGOUS PRIZES! Let me tell you what the prizes are, then Viper will tell you about the contest.

For the prizes, everyone has a chance to win one of these:

Prizes:

  • 2 x 6-Month Memberships.
  • 4 x 1-Month Memberships.
  • 2 x 10,000 Banana Chips.

PLUS some of the winners art will be displayed IN-WORLD on MiniMonos in Mutt's Art Gallery!

And everyone who enters will see their art in the Fan Art Friday video, on the Go Bananas blog. Be sure to check that out after the contest!  Now Viper will tell you the rules and some more awesome things. Have fun and good luck!

 -- Calypso

Lol 'ello there monkeys! Everyone is really excited including the whole staff and Calypso. We have been anticipating this huge giveaway! :D

Now the theme is pretty much 'MiniMonos' itself. It's up to YOU to use your creative minds and think outside the box for your entries. :P

Theme: MiniMonos

So using software on your computer such as Paint or Photoshop (or it may be hand-drawn), draw or create an artwork expressing what you think MiniMonos is all about. If it is hand-drawn, you can scan or take a picture of your artwork and upload it.  Then just submit your entry by adding the link to the comments on this blog post.! :)

Here's an example of a picture I drew a while ago for the Earth Day 40th Anniversary:

MiniMonos Earth Day
For best results, click on the image so you can see the picture clearer and better. :)

Each monkey has a maximum of 2 entries.  It would be great to write your monkey name on your drawings and/or graphics too!

Competition end:  Aug 22nd [USA-time]

This competition will be 3 weeks long, so you monkeys should have enough time to think of and create your entries! ^.^

 -- Viper

Good luck everyone!  We can't wait to see all your awesome work! :D

Just a quick reminder, if you think you're not a good artist, it doesn't matter in this contest!  What matters is the thought and how hard you worked on it.  It isn't about the quality of your art but how you express your thoughts about MiniMonos. We want to see your best, no matter how good it is.

So hurry up and get those entries in! :D


-- Viper & Calypso

Wow!!!  This really is humongous!! Do you know, monkeys, that Viper and Calypso donated all of these prizes themselves!?  This means that they purchased all of these memberships and banana chips especially for this competition, for you! That's Bananatastically, humongously generous!!!!

We are saving spaces in Mutt's gallery for our winning art!  There are heaps of chances to win, so good luck artists!  Remember, it's the effort that counts, not how good you are as an artist!

Woohoo!! Good luck monkeys and have an awesome time drawing and/or creating!! Cant wait to see some wicked entries! ^.^

-Viper

if its hand drawn how do i show you?

Cade77

If you hand-draw your entry(s), simply scan the picture with a scanner or take a picture of it with a camera and upload it into your computer! ^.^

-Viper

Ooo Nice! Im entering :D This will be awesome and its 3 weeks ;D -Hi

Im entering! Thank you for making it three weeks! My picture is really detailed but its kinda bad :(

Let me get this straight... the x means how many? So like 2 x 6 month memberships means two 6 month memberships?

Yup that is correct 'The Gold Gaming King'! ^.^ the 'x' means the amount of prizes given away for each specific prize. :)

-Viper

Awesome Good Luck Monkeys!!!!

~Cptodayiscool~

I might make a second one.

-AFootball

Here is mine! i take a pic of it! :) i hope everyone like it!

http://twitpic.com/28zrub :)

Why don't you try to actually draw or create some more and if you want to enter two better ones, then just tell us Cptodayiscool? ^.^

-Viper

Remember too, Cptodayiscool, its about effort, not how good it looks. You can really tell when someone has put effort into something, or if they took a shortcut and just cop and pasted something like that. So just remember, be creative, and there's nothing wrong with just doing a picture on the computer :)
(You could even copy and paste one of the ColorIn pictures onto paint and color it in :D)

Hey everyone! I have just finished my first drawing. Here is the link to view it http://minimonosmod.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/what-mm-means-to-me/

*Everyone please read my entire post, not just look at the picture*

Thanks MM Staff, Viper, and Calypso!

~Phillies~

I think I am finally happy with my picture :p
Here it is! http://i30.tinypic.com/2zsy4w7.jpg
If you cant read the word at the bottom because it blends in, it says "Green" Thanks everyone!
(And I can't believe you guys bought ALL THE PRIZES!!! Wow!)

-Viper

Oh wow!! He looks dope xD I think he lives next to town!! Maybe thars not Carlos house but Mutts shop or house or sumthing!!! Oh bulabula where r u xD

Awesome! And he does Viper! Anything having to do with the "big update" on Monday? Hmm... I wonder if he's going to the store on the right side of the town. ( I assume its a store xD)

Ya its cool! Looks like someone who paints... Well it will be nice to meet the new character! See ya!

Ooo minijgh I think you're right! And he's does look Jamaican Viper ^.^ Cant wait to find out what he does!!

-Lotus

Cool! I think he will be a part of that paint building! He looks so cool :D

He looks VERY artistic, maybe we can paint out treehouses...?

Lol good question from you, MiniJghRocks!

So Yeeh, you want to know if he is a painter? Hehe...

And MiniPenguitt, were you asking if he lives next to town? :-)

Great to see you guessing, monkeys. Don't forget you can ask BulaBula! There's a lot more you can find out about Mutt!

What's his favorite type of pie???

Whats his facorite color? Whats Favorite food? Does he like music? hehe, just some random questions from me :) -Hi

oooo he looks cool is there update on monday?

Cade77

Lol it has to be coconut lime pie badger! xD

-Viper

Based on what Mutt is holding, ( a paint brush ) I bet he will be dealing with the place to the right of the town. I hope Mutt and that paint shop will open up as part of the big update on Monday!

lol everyone said the same thing as me! Great guesses then if we all have the same!

He's gonna go to the new location I know that and he's gonna be apart of a painting gamg I know it

Wow I thought the same thing as almost everbody

Wait... is he using paint buckets as bongos? xD

I Cant Wait for the Big Update Monday! Hope Mutt is in there somewhere! xD

I like how he looks! ^.^
