Ditto’s ‘Name that Pet’ Wizard101 contest winners!!

Here they are, the winners of Ditto’s fun ‘Name that Pet’ contest – well, some of them at least.  You see, apparently Ditto forgot to tell people to add their wizard names to their contest entry (oops, my bad), so only a few people who entered sent in their wizard names.   Was only able to post the entries that had wizard names (since I would never post your real name or your email), and those winners are listed below.  There are a LOT more entries that won, however, and everyone has been sent their winning codes in email already.  I really enjoyed all the entries, you are all very creative and came up with some fun names – thanks to all who entered and congratulations to all the winners – remember, there are a LOT more winners than are listed here…

 Winners (who sent me their wizard name in their entry)

  • Hunter Darksword- I would name one of the Shaloin Monkeys, Gracie, because she is one of my best friends in the game.
  • Aaron Flame – Shaolin Monkey – Prince Gizmo
  • Catherine Seasong –  Arcane Helpers – Tom and Jerry
  • Donna DragonDreamer – Snake in a basket. “Lady Serpentina”
  • Isabella Mythfire – Night Hawk  : Samuel would be a good name
  • Taylor Soulhammer – Betta Fish – Fabulous Fiffy
  • vanessa darkbloom – Bumble Bee – Queen Belle

Ditto Explores the new Spiral Cup Gauntlet in Wizard101!

So Wizard101 just announced the new ‘Spiral Cup Gauntlet’ card, available at Target, and Ditto just happens to have a Target right down the street, so here it is – Ditto explores the new Spiral Cup stuff, including the very weird and cool ‘Tanglewood’ mount, the ADORABLE Baby Pegasus pet, some really cool clothes, and the even more cool ‘Mystical Tome’ casting tool (Can’t really call it a wand, right?), plus a quick (and horrilby unsuccessful) look at the ‘Pigswick Fountain’ dungeon.
Gear is available up to level 100 – but Ditto is still only level 77, so he didn’t get the top end stuff.  I’m sure it’s awesome!

 

I do like the Tanglewood Vine mount – I wasn’t sure at first, I’ll admit, because it’s really different, unlike any mount I’ve ever had (in any game, really), but once I watched it a bit, it really grew on me (no pun intended… OK, maybe intended a little bit.)  I love the animation and it’s jut so different – it’s really cool.  I’m definitely a fan.  Of course the Baby Pegasus pet is just mind numbingly cute, it’s so squeeee!

Ditto is back from vacation with a brand new Wizard101 contest!!

So Ditto is back from his wonderful tropical vacation, and it’s time for a contest!  I’ve got several planned, but since it’s almost 4th of July and I’m getting a later start at this than I expected, I’ll start with a simple one… Pets!!  I have a bunch of fun pets to give away, and all you have to do it name them!  Send me an email at dittocontest@gmail.com with the subject ‘Name that Pet’ and choose a pet from the below list, and give me a name for the pet.  The contest ends Saturday, July 12th, and I’ll send out winners on Sunday July 13th.  Here are the pets you can choose from and win!

Ditto is going on vacation!

Well, it’s that time of year – school is out and Ditto, Miss Narrator, Chip and Carl are all going on vacation!!  Miss Narrator says we are going someplace tropical and fun, and Ditto cannot WAIT!  So Ditto won’t be posting while we are away, since ‘tropical and sunny’ tends to not have internet access (and really, if we’re being tropical and sunny, why would we want to be on the internet??)  So until our return, always remember to play safe and have fun!!!

Tropical and Sunny!

Tropical and Sunny!

Captain Dito is training up his pets in Pirate101

If you remember, the last time Ditto played around with Advanced Pets he did not do very well.  Since then, Ditto has been learning all about Advanced Pets, and in this video Ditto explains what he has been doing to train up his pets – thanks to suggestions from his awesome fans!  Training and Pet Snacks are super important!  Ditto gets into a training battle to see how all this training paid off…

 

So yes, Ditto lost again – but that is OK, it was a lot of fun and we got some good rewards!  And the pets don’t seem to mind… Well, Lord Midnight gets a little cranky when he loses…
