Video Bloggy Thingy – My Fans Are Awesome Edition!
Hello everybody, it is the Ditto, with a special edition Video Bloggy Thingy. As you probably know, Ditto is entered in the Geek & Sundry Vlogger contest, and made the first round of public judging, which started yesterday and ends on June 27th. Well, thanks to Ditto’s awesome friends and fans and followers, Ditto’s vlog quickly rose into the leaderboards, and by the time Ditto went to bed last night, it was number three on the leaderboards!!
To be honest, even though Ditto knew he had awesome fans and friends and followers, for some reason me not really expect this… and me is still a little overwhelmed by the amazing outpouring of support. As soon as I posted that I was in the contest and asked people to vote for me, the #twizard and #twirate – Twirate, is that a real thing? – fan communities went into action like a well-oiled machine – kind of Armada-like, when you think about it…. ooh, scary. They were reposting and spreading the word far and wide. People like Paige Moonshade and Kelsey Fireheart and Sophia Titanheart and Meciless Morrgrim and tons of others just posted and reposted all over the place, and the numbers kept going up and up, and they are still going up!
This is exciting and awesome and I cannot thank you all enough for this amazing outpouring of support. I know we are on a solid trajectory to make it to the next round, but no matter what happens, no matter if I make the next round, or get dropped, or win the whole thing and get chosen as a Geek & Sundry Vlogger, I know that being a member of this fan community makes me the biggest winner of all – this is seriously more than any furry orange monster could ever hope for. Even better than pie!!
Thanks everybody – have fun, play safe, and I’ll see you in the Spiral!!
Vote for Ditto!

Captain Ditto defeats Optimus Prime!!
Well it’s possible I got his name wrong, but Ditto and his crew must do battle with the Armada captain (who’s name is Optimus something, but I wasn’t paying attention while he was shooting at me!!
The fight is a good one, with Ditto and crew in fine form until the unthinkable happens – respawn!! The Armada captain and his crew somehow revived their mechanical innards and we had to do battle again!! Madness!
Captain Ditto investigating the Plundered Tunnels on the Isle of Dooooom!!
Captain Ditto and his intrepid crew are investigating the deep dark plundered tunnels to try to thwart the Armada – I love that word, ‘Thwart’ – and Ditto gets pulled into an unexpected fight!! Well, it probably shouldn’t be unexpected with so many Armada troops around… but I didn’t want to get into a fight. It’s a good fight though, and pretty exciting….
Old McDitto’s Farm Contest Winners! (I could have planned this better…)
Here they are – the winners of Ditto’s April contest – thanks to everyone who entered, I REALLY loved all the fin entries!!

Ditto really doesn’t like Queen Aryanah in Stone Town.
So Queen Aryanah Silvertusk has a headache… and Ditto needs to take care of that before he can help the student trapped in the zoo. I really don’t like this queen, I have to say… Ditto has to talk to the queen’s head of security, Hrathi again, and he tells Ditto to go fight the greyhorns making all the ruckus in the streets. That’s right, I said ruckus… So Ditto goes and puts the smackdown on some annoying greyhorns.
Of course after Ditto clears all the fire prisms, etc… out of his deck, the greyhorn is assisted by a fire enemy, who throws a firezilla on the first turn! Anyway – it’s a pretty good fight, With Ditto showing those annoying rhinos who’s the boss….
Captain Ditto fighting more Armada troops!
Ditto had some trouble with WordPress for a few days, so it took a bit longer to get this out. Sorry about that – the joys of technology.
Captain Ditto and his trusty crew forge deeper into the spooky tunnels, battling The Armada deep within the Isle of Doooom!! Some good fights against this mechanical menace!!
Ditto goes to the Zoo!! Oh, and there’s a wizard held captive there.
Ditto has finally found Hrathi Irontrunk’s pen and parchment, and returns to get the royal order. Ditto heads to the Zoological Garden to speak to the evil captive wizard — who ends up being one of the missing students!! He wasn’t a nasty evil wizard at all, just a poor lost student! Bugs attacked him and the group, and then didn’t understand that he was a victim — they thought he was an agent of the zebras and kidnapped the prince!! A frightened prince that they keep in a zoo! That’s pretty awful, actually…
Ditto ALSO takes a tour of the most amazingly fun zoo ever!! There’s a full sized Firezilla, and ice cats, and these cure little gobbler thingys!! I love it — I spent bunch of time exploring and seeing the animals!
Captain Ditto faces The Armada on The Isle of Dooooom!!
Captain Ditto is deep in the Isle of Dooom, still looking for Gortez and the fabled gold money thingy. However, when we get to a dark spooky temple, The Armada is there – dun dun dunnnnn!! Ditto and his crew must battle the dreaded Armada to reach the next goal of their deep jungle quest!!!
These are some pretty intense fights – The Armada doesn’t mess around!!
By way of explanation… Edgar.
So I guess a little explanation might be in order in regards to the video of Edgar this morning. Edgar is, as you may have guessed, a new roommate, and he has been VERY excited about being on my website. Of course, he doesn’t really play video games, or know much about them, and I’ve been busy with contests, etc…, so it has been hard to find a place to work him into a video. Well, today he talked Carl, my faithful (but not terribly bright) camera-bear into doing a video, but all he saw on my calendar was ‘Ditto vid blog’ and figured he’d try to do that. (Yes, I need to do a real one soon…) The video that got posted this morning was the result.
So what do you think about Edgar? He’s a nice enough guy – um, dragon – and he wants to be part of the site. What should I have him do? Any ideas?
Old McDitto Had a Farm… Contest Time!
Well May is here and Ditto has a fresh new contest – this month is all about farming! That’s right, Ditto has seed packs to give away – these contain random seeds AND Moolinda Wu packs – as well as the BIG prize – the amazing Red Barn Farm House (with additional castle elixir) . Now this is serious farming – Farmville has nothing on Ditto and the Red Barn Farm House!!

Ditto’s Pirates De Mayo Contest Winners!!
For Pirates De Mayo, Ditto asked how your pirate captain and crew celebrated this fun holiday, and I got lots of really great answers!! I’ve chosen the winners and sent their codes for 2500 Crowns and the Gobbler Pinata! Also, I ended up having more codes than expected, so I’ve awarded codes to even more winners!! Here they are:
New Video – Captain Ditto picking flowers in the jungle… #pirate101
So to get further into the jungle, into the very heart of darkness, Ditto must get past… bees. So after fighting warships and troggies and all kinds of nasty stuff, Ditto’s quest is blocked by small stinging insects. Maybe the crew is allergic, who knows. So after collecting – of all things – troggy slime, Ditto now needs to pick special flowers and mix them all together to make bee repellent. This stuff is repellent alright..
Of course the troggies just don’t play nice, and Ditto ends up getting into another troggy fight. Nothing his more or less adequate crew can’t handle…
Contest – Happy Pirates De Mayo!!
It’s May, and that means it’s time for Pirates De Mayo!! For the pirates of The Spiral, this is a very special celebration filled with fun and games and pie! Ok, maybe I added the part about pie… But the rest is totally true! And to celebrate, Ditto has a fun and exciting contest!!
In the spirit of this wonderful holiday, tell Ditto what your pirate and crew do to celebrate Pirates De Mayo! Send an email to dittopirate@gmail.com with the subject ‘Pirates De Mayo’, tell me what Pirates De Mayo tradition your captain has, and make sure you include your captain’s name. On Sunday, May 5th after 6pm EST, I will select 15 winners to receive special Pirates De Mayo codes that include 2500 crowns and the exclusive Gobbler Piñata!
Gobbler Pinata!
Please only one entry per person, to keep it fair, and these codes can only redeemed once per account, so if you win a code from another fansite, you can’t redeem Ditto’s code for more crowns and another Gobbler Piñata on the same account – but you can use it on a different account, give it to a friend, etc…
Have fun, good luck in the contest, and as always, Play Safe!!!
Captain Ditto faces the Temple of Sacrifice on the Island of Dooooom!
Captain Ditto and his faithful crew have tracked Criado to ‘The Temple of Sacrifice’ – which doesn’t sound like a very nice place! They have to explore this deep, dark, creepy temple and find the evil Troggies, then save Criado from a fate worse than death! This fight was extra challenging because the evil Troggy chieftain had a really nasty trick – he could suck the health out of his own men – um, frogs – and replenish his own health! It was scary, but a really good fight!!
To Save the Spiral, Ditto must recover…. A Pen?
Ditto is once again at the Darjani palace (and finds another game of Shock-A-Lock!) – he has to get the queen’s ring as the royal seal for a royal letter to get him past Rocksteady to interrogate the wizard prisoner. However, the captain of the queen’s guard cannot complete the royal letter, because some bad guys stole his pen and they are too tough for him to fight – so he asks Ditto to go and do it. Yes, you read that right – the big tough war elephant captain of the queen’s guard is sending the student from wizard city against some big tough fire bad guys to recover his pen. His PEN. Seriously – I would just go and buy him a new pen if I could….
Anyway, ditto fights some of the bad guys, and naturally doesn’t find the pen, so there will be lots more fighting and stuff and Ditto will make another video once he gets that done…
Captain Ditto spies somethin’ new on the horizon!!
Ahoy there maties – and what do we have here? It looks like there’s something new out on the Pirate101 horizon, and Captain Ditto has caught himself a look in his trusty old spyglass! Of course Dittos’ spyglass, much like his ship, really isn’t in the best shape, so all I can share is a few small glimpses of the excitement that’s to come! Don’t worry, though – cast a weather-eye out to the other Pirate101 Fansites, as I’m sure the other Captains out there will have their lookouts up in the crows’ nest, searching for more glimpses of what’s new out there on the aether… And keep checking back with good old’ Captain Ditto, too, because I’ve definitely more excitement and adventure coming soon….
Ditto meets the queen in Stone Town
Ditto is back in Stone Town, and after defeating a bunch of bad guys right there in the courtyard of the palace, Ditto finally get sin to see the queen! It seems that the Queen and the resident sof stone town think that the Zebras stole the elephant prince, and now Ditto not only has to find the missing Wizard City students – he apparently has to stop a war! How’s that for an extra credit assignment!
Ditto has to talk to the queen’s guard to try and sort out the situation, and learns that they have a prisoner who is confirming the kidnapping story! Ditto really needs to get to the bottom of this, but the rhino guarding the prisoner – named RockSteady (kinda) – won’t let Ditto investigate with the proper documentation. Seems a bit suspicious to me!!
Ditto is Following the Yellow Arrow to adventure!
So, it’s been a while since Ditto has played Wizard101, and I have pretty much forgotten what I was doing. Luckily, there are handy yellow arrows to follow that will tell me where to go and what to do. First, the arrows tell Ditto to talk to the Librarian, Kilman Copperleaf. Apparently Ditto fought some bad guys and recovered the pages of Kilman’s favorite book. That was nice of me. Next, the yellow arrow tells Ditto to go defeat bandits in the market to find a purse, so Ditto does that too. Overall it’s a fun way to get back into the game and remember what we are doing…
Captain Ditto heads deep into the Dark Jungle of DOOOOOM…
Ditto has completed the dreaded tomb of Doooom, and he talks to the Monquistan foreman about how to move further on his epic quest through the Island of Doooom…. he goes into the jungle to find a monquistan campsite in the Dark Jungle, but it is destroyed and deserted!! Where did everyone go? Another mystery to solve on this quest of… DOOOOOM!
