Halloween is just a few days away! Do you have your best costume ready?

We’ve been scouting out a good place to hold our Halloween Costume Dance Party, and we’re having no luck! We did however come across this place:

What do you think? Should we have the party here? It’s not too spooky, right? A couple empty grave stones, bats, and who knows what else…

There’s an old story that no one ever likes to talk about in Dizzywood. It’s a scary story that will get you in the mood for Halloween.

We’re not even sure that we should tell it now, because it’s said that anyone that listens to the story and retells it will…

..Did you hear that-deep voices-coming from below our feet-the sound of awakened Jaguar Ghosts-and it sounds like they’re-

Sssshhh! We can’t let them know that you’re listening! We’ll try and tell you as much as we can before it gets too dark.

Strange behavior began to haunt Dizzywood years and years ago. We weren’t around then, but this story has been passed down from generation to generation from explorers just like you.

It all began when people started exploring the Crystal Catacombs and hiking deeper into Elder Mines. Explorers got greedy, and began taking every crystal their little hands could grab, stuffing everything into their backpacks. One explorer, no one can remember her name, swore that she heard voices coming from within the walls. She closed her eyes hoping that when she opened them the sounds would go away. But they didn’t. The voices grew louder. Ear-piercing as if they were getting closer. She looked behind, calling for her partner, “Is that you? Where are you? I can’t see you!”

The small torch that she held to guide her through the mines soon blew out. The air around her grew cold and she found it harder to breath. Remembering she had a flashlight in her backpack just in case, she reached back to pull it out. When she took it out, she realized that it felt lighter then usual. There were no batteries! Someone had taken them out!

We’re sorry, but we cannot continue with the story. It is getting much too dark now, and we shouldn’t take the risk. What do you think happened next? Do you have a scary story to share? Let’s hear it!

Brooke Lodgington has put the final touches on her fabulous new homes, and they are now ready to preview and purchase! Have the sandy Dizzywood beach right at your toes with the new beach home, or set up a cozy hideaway in the wagon home. It’s all up to you!

Visit Brooke Lodgington in Presto’s Edge to hear more!

Heads up Explorers!

The small red whistle on the bottom left hand corner of your screen will temporarily be removed. If you look at the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you’ll see a red link titled, “Report a problem”. If you encounter any problem while exploring Dizzywood, please click on that link and correctly fill out the information needed so that we may help you the best that we can. 

We want to remind you that we take these reports very seriously and ask that you do too. If you decide to use the link to report another user’s behavior, please make sure to include as much detail as you can about the situation. The more information you can give us about any problem that you come across in Dizzywood helps us to fix, or investigate the issue further. 

We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and fun time in Dizzywood and we appreciate your help!

Do you feel it creeping up behind you Explorers……it’s coming and there’s no way of escaping it. Cloud Sprites are whispering that a dense fog is rolling in, bringing with it an unforgiving, nightmarish darkness. What this darkness will bring to Dizzywood, nobody knows.

Halloween used to be a time of fun and games, tricks and treats, but something tells us this Halloween will be quite different. Stay in your homes if you wish to steer clear of any danger, or dare to gather your friends and explore this darkness head on.

You’re guaranteed a spine-chilling time as you and your friends take part in this year’s Halloween festivities! Get limited, spooky, extravagant costumes! Throw Halloween parties with your buddies! Trick or treat for candy corn! It will be a Dizzywood Haunting you won’t soon forget! 

*You can now buy costumes by clicking on the Scarecrows in Prestos Edge, and by completing the Candy Corn Mission! Have fun!

Professor Nebulo Nocturne, Arcticus Frost, and the self-proclaimed ruler of the Dizzy oceans, Octavius Rex have opened the doors to their lairs. Explore Dizzywood to find their entrances, or ask fellow citizens if they’ve found their way in. Some of these places might require a special key, or particular piece of equipment to enter so keep your eyes on the lookout. (Tip: Look to your Missions Tab to help you find a way in!)

You may not know this, but these are three of the best Force Field players in the known lands! Professor Nebulo Nocturne, being the best among the three, has come out undefeated in the World Cup Championships of Force Field. If you think you stand a chance against these three, step up! Get started by clicking on the Force Field Mission and level up your skills. Each time you defeat your opponent you will level up and be that much closer to challenging these three great players! 

Good luck!

Citizens of Dizzywood have elected Kat de Claw as the new Chief Poobah!

DW: Congratulations Kat! How does it feel to be the new Chief Poobah?

Kat: Thank you everyone that voted for me! I can’t say that I wasn’t beginning to worry that Melinda was going to take the race, but in the end, my supporters rallied non-stop for my campaign. I’m wasting no time at all on my campaign promise, and have already begun to clear the roads to Canal City to bring about business. I just want to let all of you that voted for me, and those of you that didn’t know that I will work just as hard as Presto, if not harder, to maintain a secure land for you! This feels so great, thanks a bunch! Now it’s time to get ready for Halloween! 

Presto was told that there were handfuls of new Dizzywood citizens that really wanted to get involved with the elections. Although the registration period officially ended yesterday, Presto’s final act as Chief Poobah is to extend the registration until voting is over. Thanks, Presto!

Today is the last day to register if you wish to partake in the 2008 Elections for Chief Poobah!

It is tremendously important that you register if you want to vote for one of the three candidates running, because once the registration box goes away, you will no longer be able to register or vote.

Those of you that have already registered and can’t wait to cast your vote, you’ve got one more day to support your candidates by continuing to rally throughout Dizzywood with your posters, t-shirts, and hats! Now is the perfect time to ask around to see who everyone else is voting for. We’ve got to spread the word to get everyone in Dizzywood involved in this election!

We sat down with each of the candidates to ask them a few final questions before the voting booth opened:

DW: How do you feel about Presto stepping down from Chief Poobah?

Kat: Oh, well, I have much respect for Presto. He’s been nothing but helpful to me and my garden. I have many fond memories of him-especially from his picnic! He grills the best burgers! It’s comforting to know that he will still be around, but I must say I am ready to follow in his footsteps as the next Chief Poobah.

Cecil: Presto’s my bro, no doubt! He’s been a super Poobah, but it’s his time to step down, and my time to step up!

Melinda: Presto is such a kind soul. He’s helped make Dizzywood so peaceful. I would never dream of replacing him, but since his four years has come to an end, I would gladly pick up the reins.

DW: How will you help keep the citizens safe from Emperor Withering?

Kat: There’s no better way to fight off the damage of his Belch Factories than growing some plants! Am I right? Who’s with me?

Cecil: I’ve got things covered, don’t you even fret! A little pinch here and a pinch there, and he’s outta here!

Melinda: Are you kidding me? I’m the Move Master! Withering and his henchmen stand no chance against my moves. I’ve perfected them, and shared them with all the citizens of Dizzywood! Together we will all defeat him!

And there you have your potential Poobahs. Who will it be? It’s up to you!

Once the Voting Booth opens (tomorrow), make sure to cast your votes!

Important note: You may only vote once! So make sure that you vote for the candidate that you wish to be the next Chief Poobah.
