Hey, Jammers! I'm back with another post!
I just had a great idea of an update Animal Jam should add that would be a nice change to the bi-weekly updates of re releases and reminders that Kimbara Outback, or any other underrated place in Animal Jam, still exists.
I also noticed that Animal Jam hasn't really done anything to raise awareness to the threat of COVID-19. Other that the odd Jammer wearing a Western Scarf and shouting at everyone who isn't "Socially Distancing", Its almost like COVID-19 doesn't exist. I understand that for some, playing Animal Jam is an escape from life's new obstacles, but judging from how big of a role Animal Jam plays in Jammer's lives, it could have a HUGE impact on many Jammers by endorsing social distancing, sanitizing, and the wearing of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
So...Tkaranto Presents...
...The Phantom Pandemic!!!
(👆Just A Little Sketch Of The General Idea👆)
A "Pandemic Portal" would be place in Jamma Township. That would look similar to the Land portal collection, and in the portal there would be a drawing of "Phantom Viruses".
Once Jammers entered the portal, they would be greeted with the following messages:
"The Phantoms Have Released An Invisible Foe Apon The Land..."
"... Placing Jammers In A Deep Sleep, Until A Vaccine Is Found..." (Animal Jam is against saying the words "dead" and "killed".)
"... Help Keep Others Safe. Search For The Vaccine, And Follow Protocols... The Fate Of Jamma Is In Your Hands."
Jammers would then be given tasks to complete, including sanitizing before entering buildings; collecting, personalizing and upgrading PPE; socially distancing; cleaning surfaces; and finding/creating a vaccine to earn prizes. Depending on each individual Jammer's level, they would get different uncommon and rare prizes such as hazmat suits, masks, gloves, and visors.. (Making them uncommon and rare is important because it increases the chances Jammers will wear them; Many Jammers will only wear an item for it's value XD) Unlike other Adventures, progress is saved, and all Jammers work together to reach the goal of "Level 50000", where the Phantom Virus is defeated. A second Adventure would be released later, called "The Second Wave", where a second strain develops.
Thanks so much for reading this little post :3

Wowza this is amazing! I love this idea! I definitely agree with you, I was surprised at Animal Jam's lack of awareness about the pandemic, especially when young kids play too. It's good for them to learn about it so they'll learn how to be safe and keep others safe as well :)
ReplyDeleteJust a quick idea (please don't use it if you don't want to, just a lil idea X) : Since this is such a cool story, you could definitely expand it and make an Animal Jam story blog! I have a plushie blog of my own where I write about the adventures of my little kangaroo plushie in AJ xD But this whole story and idea is so cool, and I definitely think it should be expanded and more in the spotlight!
But don't feel pressured to do this at all, this is completely up to you :)

Thanks so much! I have been considering doing a story blog, but ill still need to figure out how to put the story together, since I don't have access to my account, and im also (still!) trying to figure this blog out. But I'll definitely do that in the future!
DeleteThanks again :)
