Ditto’s ‘Make a Difference in December’ Contest Winners!!

I tried something very different for my December contest, and I’ll admit  – I was a little worried that folks wouldn’t be into it.  I shouldn’t have worried though, because Ditto’s fans are awesome!  The response I got from this contest was almost overwhelming, and I am so happy with all the wonderful letters and drawings that people sent in, thank you SO MUCH!  Chip, Greenly and I are printing the letters out and getting them ready for Operation Gratitude, and we’ll send them out on Monday.

Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy (a few days late)

So I recorded this and put it up over the weekend, but for some odd reason it never posted publicly. Weird.

Transcript:
Hello everybody, it is the Ditto, and it’s time for another Video Bloggy Thingy! Sorry it’s been so long, but Ditto has been having so much fun in-game, sometimes he forgets to do these…
So to start off, the Twitter report – Ditto is up to 1675 followers! Wow! Ditto also has 1,195 YouTube subscribers, and 1,282 followers on Facebook – that is so cool!! Thanks everyone who follows Ditto, it makes a furry orange monster very happy!!
For games, Ditto has been playing a lot of both Pirate101 and Wizard101 lately! For Pirate101, Ditto finished his first set of Valencia quests and is now in Cool Ranch – All I Can think of is doritos now. Mmmm. For Wizard101, I’m doing well in Avalon, but it is VERY hard – lots of huge boss fights and very challenging battles! My third battle was against a huge dragon – it was so tough!!
In order to build myself up a bit more, Ditto actually took a bit of a break and headed to WinterTusk – I hadn’t finished that yet, and it seems like there’s a few spells that I missed, so I’m going back and re-doing that. It’s fun to go back to do older content – after spending time in Avalon, Wintertusk is much less stressful!!
Outside the game, Ditto and Miss Narrator are working on ‘Spiral Wars’ for Spiral Radio 101 – it’s a fun project and we hope people are enjoying it as much as we are. We’re planning something special coming up, too. Stay tuned for that.
And while Ditto did not have any contests in November, December will be a very different story – I’ll have some pretty great stuff coming up, with lots of prizes, so stay tuned for that!
That’s about all for now – thanks for watching and as always, have fun and play safe!!

Wizard101 Contest – Make a Difference in December!

It’s December in The Spiral, and that means more contests, presents, prizes, and fun!!  December is such a fun month for so many reasons, and it’s definitely one of Ditto’s favorite times of year!  I get to be with family and friends and enjoy their company and friendship and great food, sparkly lights, and bright wrapping paper!  It’s just great!  I love brightly colored wrapping paper 🙂

During the holidays, Ditto also thinks a lot about people who can’t be with their family and friends, like military folks who are out on deployment.  For this December contest, I want folks to write a letter or draw a picture for a deployed US military person.  At then end of the contest I’ll print your letters out and get them all sent to military members via ‘Operation Gratitude‘, a great organization that sends letters to deployed military all around the world.

New Video – Ditto Heads to Avalon – Part 1 – The Jade Palace #wizard101

So Ditto has defeated Morganthe’s minions and completed Zafaria, so it’s time to head over to see old Headmaster Ambrose.  Ambrose says we must get to Merle’s home world, Avalon, and the council of light… but apparently to ‘learn’ about all this, Ditto has to get beat up a lot, starting with the fierce Jade Oni… a really big fight.  I hope all this stuff I’m learning is worth it…
