Club Penguin Mythbusters #2

Hey Penguins!

It's time for the second instalment in Club Penguin Mythbusters.

The Rainbow Puffle


The rumour: Penguins can buy Puffles on Club Penguin of different colours. However, many Penguins have claimed there is a rainbow-coloured Puffle called the (appropriately named) 'Rainbow Puffle'.
Testing: Laughpenguin was intrigued by this myth and popped along to the Pet Shop which is where you buy Puffles. He examines the Puffles in the 'Adopt a Puffle' section. He doesn't see a rainbow-coloured Puffle anywhere. Laughpenguin also examines the Puffle Catalogue. No sign of furniture for a 'Rainbow Puffle'.
Researching: After his trip to the Pet Shop, Laughpenguin wasn't convinced the Rainbow Puffle was real. However, he decided to look online for a Rainbow Puffle by typing it into Google Images and YouTube.
Here are three images Laughpenguin found of the 'Rainbow Puffle'.


 
Notice how they're all different? The videos on YouTube also show different ways to "get the Puffle". I would say the Rainbow Puffle might be real if there weren't so many image and "how to get" variations of the 'Puffle'.
Interview: Even though the myth is pretty much busted, we still like to interview Penguins and Club Penguin on their views.
First of all, an interview with the public.
Gatorgirl600: I like Puffles. I've heard of the Rainbow Puffle myth. I think it's fake.
Plum8796: I know some Club Penguin myths including the Rainbow Puffle one. I think it's half-real, half-fake. I think it's mood would be EVERY EMOTION!
Joony5: I own a red and a blue Puffle. I have never heard of any CP myths. Now I've been told the Rainbow Puffle rumour, I think it might be true. If it exists, I want one! It's a bit strange there hasn't been one in the Pet Shop.
Now an interview with a Club Penguin Support Team Member!


Hi Laughpenguin, 

Thanks for waddling by to share your thoughts with us! It's always brrr-illiant to hear from you! 

I understand that you're wondering about the mysterious rainbow puffle rumors. I haven't personally ever seen one. On the other flipper, that doesn't mean that they don't exist... 

If you could discover the elusive rainbow puffle what sorts of colors do you think it would be? Would the rainbow colors be striped or swirled through their fur? What sort of personality would it have? Where would they be found? 

We'd be really excited to hear your thoughts Laughpenguin! Be sure to write back to us again soon. 

Stay icy,

Overall: The one thing about this myth which really busts it is the fact there are so many pictures showing different 'Rainbow Puffle's. Some with vertical rainbow stripes, some with horizontal rainbow stripes... that really does prove it isn't real. Quite a few Penguins think the Puffle is real and CP have stated in their response, "We'd be really excited to hear your thoughts Laughpenguin!" That means that the Rainbow Puffle is currently just an idea at Club Penguin HQ.

Decision: BUSTED.

Stay tuned for more CPM (Club Penguin Mythbusters)!

Club Penguin Mythbusters #1

Howdy Penguins!

Today I will be presenting the first Club Penguin Mythbusters.

Tipping the iceberg


The rumour: The rumour about tipping the iceberg on Club Penguin is that if you get a large group of penguins to go to the Iceberg, dress up in pizza chef, miner etc costumes, dance and stand in a specific area, the iceberg will tip.
Testing: So, Laughpenguin went to the Iceberg and he found 38 Penguins attempting to tip the Iceberg. All wearing the miner's costume and standing at the top. After half an hour, no tip. He went on again, 23 penguins. They weren't wearing anything in particular. A couple had the pizza chef costume. One hour... (no joke) no tip. They all stood around the "rim" of the iceberg.
Researching: Laughpenguin looked online for a program to look at the aspects of the iceberg. He found one and the program showed him the drawings, sizes and shapes of the Iceberg. From what the program says, it is impossible to tip the Iceberg. Furthermore, many people have posted pictures and videos of tipping the iceberg on Google Images and YouTube. THESE ARE ALL FAKE. They are obvious edits. If there was just one, it might be believable but no, with so many pictures and videos showing tipping the Iceberg in different ways, which direction the tip happens and your "reward" for tipping it, they are obviously fake. Members of the EPF and (now deceased) PSA, may recognise this picture:

It's from 'PSA Mission 1: Case of the Missing Puffles'. You go to the Iceberg and discover some Penguins stranded. They claim part of the Iceberg fell away. Now, this doesn't proof any TIPPING, but does it prove any CRACKING??? No. Remember that these missions are essentially mini-games for the EPF/PSA. Think about it. Every time you play Puffle Rescue at the Mine, does a Puffle really go missing? No. Furthermore, if these missions were real, why is the Sports Shop still in them?! The Sports Shop was replaced in May 2010 after Herbert's popcorn explosion!

Check your postcards. Go on do it now. Can you see the postcard circled in the picture below?


That's a 'Tip the Berg' postcard. Most Club Penguin postcards are invitations for events. So this is basically a 'tip the iceberg party' invitation. Club Penguin must've added this as it has become a Penguin pastime. Also to possibly build up the question if tipping the 'berg is possible?

Interview: With the decision about tipping the iceberg almost done, we still wanted to interview some Penguins to ask them about tipping the Iceberg. But first, we asked a Club Penguin Tech Support Team Member.


Heyo, 

Thanks for taking a moment from waddling to send us a message, it's fin-tastic to hear from curious feathered friends like yourself! 

Ever since the Iceberg appeared aside Club Penguin Island penguins have been trying to tip it. I have heard many a boastful penguin claiming to have succeeded in moving that great block of ice. Although no one can confirm whether the Iceberg has actually been tipped there are plenty of rumours flying around that it has been done. Some say that a crack has appeared in the ice proving that the Iceberg is on the verge of toppling over; scary! 

I have never seen it happen myself but I have taken part in plenty of Iceberg tipping parties and have had a lot of fun! The last one I went to everyone had to turn red for Rockhopper in the hope that the great captain himself would hear our call and lend a flipper! (One rumour even says that Rockhopper is the only penguin to have managed to tip the Iceberg). 

Why not join in the next tipping party you get invited to? Or you could even throw one yourself! Who knows, you may even make history by contributing to the first ever official tipping! 

Have an 'ice' day!

Now on to asking Penguins their thoughts about tipping the iceberg:

Pingo2242: I think tipping the iceberg would be interesting but, no, it's not possible.
Pooky0101: Tipping the iceberg could be possible. I've tried tipping it once or twice with a few friends but if we got every penguin on the island to try and tip it, it might be possible.
Logan 625: I think the iceberg can be tipped. I'm going to now, but I can't do it by myself! I would need time. It's [the iceberg] cracking. I think Club Penguin likes people trying to tip the iceberg.
Hatmanpepper: I've been on CP for many years. You can't tip it, it's impossible. Same as always. It won't even crack.

Overall: Although many Penguins think it's possible to tip the Iceberg, we have discovered it's not. The program used to examine the iceberg states it's not possible to tip. Club Penguin have kept it a mystery but I think we know the truth. Just remember that wherever you go on Club Penguin, it's always a room. So the Iceberg is just a room decorated like an Iceberg. If it really was an Iceberg, how come Penguins can walk off it [the iceberg] and on to the "water" in the room?

Decision: BUSTED!
