💠 The Challenge Winner

Last Monday, the OG Pals announced a new challenge; for Pals to tell them one difference or addition they would make to the Pal Universe™! The OGs decided that there would be three winners based on how efficient they thought the suggestion was. First place would earn a bronze coin, as well as a sticker or coloring page made by Zeppelin. Second place would earn a silver coin, and third, one gold coin. Today the results were announced! Here’s who won…
Cripsy Peach, or Pal #9, won first place. Her suggestion was to make Pal Holidays! (The OG Pals are now creating them.)
Tricky T, or Pal #11, got second. He wanted to create a flag for the Pal Universe™. (The OGs are also beginning to work on this.)
Finally, Mickey D’s, or Pal #18, obtained third. He decided that an interesting addition or representation of the Universe™ could be Pal Merch! (The OGs are starting to sketch out ideas.)
Keep your eyes and ears open to listen for the OG Pals’ next challenge, which can result in you gaining even bigger prizes!

💠 Winter’s Decision

This year, as opposed to having light snow starting to fall in December, winter has made a late arrival. A thin layer of snow has finally arrived… in the last month of the season?! To embrace this weather, join in the Olympic Games, taking place on the snowy hill beside the crosswalk! The OGs will announce the games. You will be split up into teams. You may play any fictional character of your choice for added fun. If your team wins, you could get big prizes! Keep in mind that the Spring Olympics start on March 22nd, so hurry before the snow melts!

💠 Cheers!

That’s all for this edition of the Pal Magazine. If you have any concerns or questions, please ask the OG Pals. Subscribe to our newsletter today to learn more!

Pre-Elite Squadron Announcement + Change!

Silver-Zeppelin

Since the creation of the Pal Universe™, there has been a rule that there can’t be more than three Elites and three Pre-Elites. While there are currently only two Elites, there are FOUR Pre-Elites.

First off, why is this rule necessary?

Well, the goal of the OG Pals is to keep most of the Pals in the Average Squadron. This is so there won’t be too many Pals in higher ranks. For example, if you think of the OGs, Colonel-General, and Elites as the government, then the Average Pals would just be normal citizens. You wouldn’t want there to be more government officials than citizens, right?

However, right now there are four Pre-Elites, more than allowed. To keep the Pre-Elites at their normal amount, the OG Pals have approved a new rule:

From now on, if there is an excess of Elites or Pre-Elites, or if a new Pal is promoted, the oldest member of that rank is demoted.

For example, right now, the Pre-Elites are—Chantelle, Maya, Luke, and Tariq. Since Chantelle is the oldest Pre-Elite, she would be demoted.

However, since she only has one point left to advance to Elite, if she commits a good deed before the end of the month, she’ll be promoted to Elite and NO ONE will be demoted.

Remember, Pals…

The new rule will be implemented by February 1st, 2019.

💠 The Pal Currency

Good news, Pals! The Pal currency has finally come into existence… you can find out how to earn them, spend them, and keep them by clicking on the link below. Remember that being Pal of the Week can earn you at least one gold coin (worth $1 CAD), so be sure to commit your good deeds and/or disrespect towards Fiendlings!

💠 An Unbreakable Alliance

Manhunt, known as a popular game to everyone, usually takes place every recess break, during which all Pals have made an alliance. Pals #1, #2, and #12 have decided that, instead of participating in the thrilling game, they will aid the ones escaping from the tagged “hunters”. By blocking entrances that the “its” decide to take and protecting them as best as they can from tagging Pals playing the game (non-Pals might be spared from protection), these three Pals have saved multiple others and have helped them win. So, how do you recognize that a Pal is not playing the game and restraining or chasing the “its” to protect you? Well, it’s simple. Doing the Diamond Salute can show you from afar that they are willing to protect you. Here is an image of the Diamond Salute.

The Diamond Salute that lets Pals know who plans on allying with them during Manhunt or any other group game.

💠 Cheers!

Salutes- Every salute from every rank, explained!

Silver-Zeppelin

Saluting is a key part of the Pal Universe™. There are many reasons to salute, including but not limited showing your rank, greeting a higher-Pal, or even worshipping our gods.

However, a growing problem in the Universe™ is that many Pals either do not know their salute, fail to salute correctly, or don’t know the reasons for saluting. Worse, a few Pals have even failed to salute to gods!

Hopefully, this blog post will clear thing up a bit and teach all Pals the correct ways to salute.

When to Salute

💠 When seeing a god, either in person, or in a picture. (Remember, the three gods are Boolagesh, The Large Goldfish™, and Yoshi)

💠 When first greeting a Pal of higher rank or an OG.

💠 When asking a favour from a Pal of higher rank.

💠 When apologizing.

💠 During a competition, when you are on opposite teams with another Pal and you don’t want them to target you. (For example, during a game of dodgeball, if a Pal on the opposite team has the ball and are looking straight at you, you can salute to remind them that you’re both Pals and shouldn’t betray the Universe™)

How Different Ranks Salute

OG Pals

Sorry, this was the best picture I could find 😥

The OG Pals use two fingers pressed together.

Colonel-General

It’s from the Hunger Games… I just… REALIZED

The Colonel-General’s salute is similar to the OG Pals’, but with three fingers instead of two.

Elite Squadron


Elite Pals use a four-finger salute.

Pre-Elite Squadron

This is actually the normal military salute. Unbelievable!

The Pre-Elites use their whole hand to salute. Many Pals have complained that this salute is trash, but it is in fact the real salute used by the military.

Average Squadron

This was really hard to find a picture of.

Average Squadron members salute with their arms forming an X and palms facing outwards,

Preliminary Squadron

(No picture, sorry!)

The Preliminary salute is similar to the Average one, except you turn your hands to face inwards.

Minor Squadron

(No picture again, sorry! These salutes are annoyingly hard to get pictures of.)

Minor Squadron members shove their wrists together in front of their chest.

Piece o’ Coal Squadron

(I promise there will be a picture for the Maui salute.)

Piece o’ Coal Pals curl their arms to their sides like they’re doing the Chicken Dance. Yes, in case you didn’t notice, the salutes get worse and worse.

Maui Squadron

Yesss!! Finally there’s a picture!

Members of the Maui Squadron tip from side to side while waving their arms.

In case you didn’t notice…

The higher a Pal’s rank, the smaller the movement they make with their body. Compare OG Pals, who only two fingers, to Maui Squadron members, who use their whole body.

Conclusion

We hope that, with this guide, you’ll be able to do your proper salute. If you are still unsure, please contact the OG Pals in person for a demonstration, especially Preliminary, Minor, and Piece o’ Coal Pals. Above all, remember to salute the gods!

The New Pal Anthem

officialmopeio

A vote today arose some questions and arguments.

The current Pal Universe™ Anthem, to the tune of Lucid Dreams by JuiceWRLD, goes:
Welcome to the Pal Universe™
Can’t take back your Pal membership
We’re a team of unified Pals
And fighting for justice
So come join the Pal Universe™

Since Lucid Dreams is slightly out-of-date to the current popular selection of music, a vote as to which song would be the new tune of the anthem was held. The four choices possible were:

Thank u, Next
Ariana Grande
7 Rings
Ariana Grande
Keep it as Lucid Dreams
JuiceWRLD
Other
(not Hello World or Muffin Time)

However, this caused some chaos.

After Pal #11, Tricky T, suggested the Caillou theme song, suddenly two more Pals agreed. They were Pals with, well, strong opinions. One of them kept suggesting Caillou, and the other even wrote up the lyrics to the tune of the Caillou theme song.

There are issues with the Caillou theme song.

First of all, the anthem represents the Universe™ and the Pals in it, meaning if the anthem was to be the Caillou theme song tune, it would give others the impression that Pals are bratty, stupid, annoying, and bald.

Secondly, Caillou is a Fiendling of the Pal Universe™, and Fiendlings cannot be tolerated in any way. Therefore, the Caillou theme song is no longer an option. There will be a re-vote on either 7 Rings or Thank u, Next since those two songs received the most votes.

Thank you.

A Mysterious Betrayal?!

Silver-Zeppelin

On January 16th, 2019, a mysterious and alarming betrayal occurred. THE PAL BLOG WAS HACKED!

It was Mope.io who discovered it first. While browsing the blog, she discovered a new post titled… *drumroll please*

“ur stupid”

It had been published under the account @thepaluniverse, (my account). However, we were in school at the time, so I never actually posted it. Which could only mean one thing:

Someone hacked the blog.

After analyzing the evidence, the OG Pals have come to the conclusion that it must be William (Figure) and Tariq (Tricky T), based on five reasons:

  1. It couldn’t have been a stranger or they wouldn’t have known about the Pal Universe™ and our blog.
  2. Not all the Pals know about the blog either, only William, Tariq, Melina, Samantha, Chantelle, and a few others.
  3. The hacking was at 2:00–meaning we were in school. While Mope.io and I were working on our ‘Twas the Night project, William and Tariq were fooling around on the blog.
  4. The old password (we changed it) was based off a certain character only William knew about by browsing his wiki.
  5. Lastly, only William would use the word “ur” instead of the grammatically correct version “you’re”. Also, as demonstrated by his short stay on the Hangouts chat and his YouTube channel, he types all in lowercase.

When confronting them today at school, they both denied the hacking. Luckily the OG Pals have changed the blog password so they can no longer hack us. But why would they do it? No one knows…

It’s totally not the fact that they were banned from singing Hello World. Pro tip: If you want to sing Hello World without getting demoting, please sing “Yellow World” instead, as a reference to Humpty Dumpty Yellow. Extra points if you sing it to Brayden and he’s wearing his yellow hoodie.

That’s all for today, Pals. Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter, confront Figure and Tricky T, and stay safe on the Internet! cheesy ending line

Pal Coins- What are they, how are they used, and how can you earn them?

Silver-Zeppelin

UPDATE 01-20-2019: Pal Coins are out now! Come and earn them!

Pal Coins are the official currency of the Pal Universe™️, and act as a substitute for real money. They can be used to buy a multitude of things, including points, promotions, and drawings by Zeppelin. A full list of the things you can buy will be covered below

1 bronze coin= $10 CAD

1 silver coin= $5 CAD

About the Bank

Pals have two options on what to do with their currency–either keep it on themselves or store it in the Pal Bank. If you choose to follow the first option, be very careful–if you lose your coins, you’ll have to pay a penalty.

The OG Pals will act as the bank. Since us OGs don’t need to spend money, any Pal can give their coins to the bank to spend later. However, each Pal only has a limited bank storage space–the equivalent of 1 bronze coin of storage. To upgrade their storage, Pals must pay coins.

💠 You win a challenge (max: Bronze)

💠 You have a useful idea (max: Gold)

💠 You salute to a higher-ranking Pal or a god (max: Gold)

💠 You give the OG Pals a gift (max: Silver)

💠 A holiday occurs (max: Bronze)

How to Lose Coins

You must pay the OG Pals if…

💠 You defect from the Universe™️ (all your money)

💠 You disrespect an OG Pal (max: Silver)

💠 You disrespect a god (max: Bronze)

💠 You argue with a Pal of higher rank (max: Gold)

💠 A coin of any value is lost (all of your money + no money for 2 weeks)

With Pal Coins, you can buy…

💠 Points (each point is worth 3 silver)

💠 Promotion (5 bronze coins for a promotion up one rank and one month of immunity)

💠 Verification (2 bronze coins to get instantly verified and receive 5 strikes instead of 3)

💠 Custom drawing by Zeppelin (1 bronze; only animals & humans–no real people allowed)

💠 Colouring page from Zeppelin (1 silver; non-customizable; new colouring pages each month)

💠 Custom sticker by Zeppelin (1 silver; same rules for drawing apply)

💠 Snack of your choice (1 silver coin for Cheetos, Doritos, Lays, Ketchup Lays, Ruffles, Lollipops, Candy, Chocolates, Skittles, and more)

💠 Trading positions with someone else

— Two days (1 silver coin)

— 1 week (1 bronze coin)

— 2 weeks (3 bronze coin)

💠 Demote someone by one rank (5 bronze for 2 weeks of immunity)

💠 Change nicknames (1 bronze, 1 silver)

💠 Buy a Pal to join the Universe™️ (5 bronze for the OG Pals to accept letting a Pal join even if they weren’t voted in)

💠 Buy bank storage

— 1 bronze-worth of space (free)

— 3 bronze-worth of space (1 bronze)

— 5 bronze-worth of space (3 bronze)

So, Pals, what are you waiting for? Go out and earn some coins now!N

Note: We will be accepting suggestion on ways to earn/spend coins from all Pals.

Storytime Challenge + The Winner of the Colonel-General Test

officialmopeio

CHALLENGE 2

Ahh, the first challenge was fun! Changing your profile picture to something weird? All the Pals enjoyed it!

That wasn’t a contest, though. This second challenge is. The winner gains 2 points if they have no strikes. If they have strikes, they will reset and the Pal will no longer have any strikes.

Here’s how the contest works.

Submit a story you made up about Mylo Voskanik, a former god who was also an immature traitor. There’s a catch, though– Mylo must die in the story at some point. The OG Pals Zeppelin and Mope.io will read your submission and they’ll decide who wins! Marks are based off of:

💠 How well the story flows
💠 Choice of wording
💠 The storyline itself
💠 Mylo’s death scene and how other characters react

Good luck, Pals!

(And side note: Congrats to Pal#8 (Idiot) or Melina for winning the Colonel-General Test! It was definitely a tough choice, but you came out on top!)

Anyways, hope your story brainstorming goes well. The challenge ends on Friday, January 18th!
