Nothing To Headdress Challenge - Part 3

(insert really stupid awkward weird intro here)
And we're off! This is part 3 of the Nothing to Headdress Challenge. Let's get right into the first trade.

I just was in Aldan and managed to finally, after a long time, trade the nerd glasses and rare sun hat for a long spiked wristband.

Now my goal is to get 4 den betas for this wrist, or something like that.

Okay, so I've been watching a lot of videos lately... and I think this would be much easier if I played adventures and bought items. Yeah, this is a trading thing, but honestly, nobody just trades to work towards an item. So starting in this part, I'll be playing adventures to get more items.
Now, I've been working towards getting a bunch of items lately. And here's m inventory now:

I haven't been on as much for the past two days so it's been taking longer to upgrade to better items.
So, from now on, my plan is to start trading all of these smaller items and start collecting more den betas. They're pretty much the basis of rarity these days. If I can get at least two more, I can trade them and the long wrist for a short collar. Before I end this part, I plan to at last get a clothing/den beta.
I just traded 11 of the items for a clothing beta; a brown beard. This is my clothing inventory now:

At this point, I managed to win a giveaway by onacat, who gave me many, many RIMs. A huge shout out goes to this person and I've already made a post about it. Once again, thanks!
Just today, I traded 20 RIMs for a den beta.

Now, these are my main items up for trade!

I am getting really close to my first spiked collar on this account. Hopefully in Part 4 I'll be able to get a bad short collar.
Anyways, that's gonna conclude this part of the series. I hope you enjoyed, because I've actually been putting in a lot of work to this lol. And it's now August 1st, which means I'm starting my freshmen year this month. Weird to think about. I'm ending this now, so... I'll stop being cringey.

No, I hate that outro. It feels off to me. Here's a better one: bye, lol.

A Little Rant on "The Challenge"

Hey, lol.
In my time of doing the nothing to headdress challenge, there's been a lot of people that are annoying. Especially when they say this.

Literally, people say this. They don't even understand the challenge if they really think this is what it means. If you watch the original version that Julian2 made, he never revealed what he was doing. The challenge is about putting in the work, not about getting free stuff randomly for exclaiming that you're doing "the challenge". Besides, a lot of greedy people use this method to simply earn rares. And it's annoying.
Okay, that's all I have to say here.

HUUUUUUUUGE Shoutout to onacat!

So I was continuing the nothing to headdress challenge today and noticed someone who said they were hosting a giveaway because they were quitting. I ended up getting so many rares from them. I don't know if I should count these in the challenge, but I'm leaning towards yes because it isn't cheating, it's just that I won a giveaway. Everyone does that to get better items. But anyways, this person was very kind and wanted to give me these items, and I really appreciate it! These will be put towards great use.

In total, I received, excluding the Beard and Rare Jamaaliday Cozy Shoes:

Once again, thanks onacat!

Nothing To Headdress Challenge - Part 2

This is part two of the challenge that'll be extremely hard. Let's get right into it! Oh, and by the way, I don't think I said this in the intro post to this series, but as I get each trade I'll be updating this live until I decide to post it.
This time, I first traded the woven shoes and two pieces of default furniture for some Rare Woven Shoes.

Then I traded the rare woven shoes, rare direwolf plushie, and giraffe pet for a Rare Sun Hat. This was a great deal as its one of those rare summer carnival items.

After this, I logged back on later and tried to trade the short wrist. It was a success, and I got the adventure nerd glasses.

My idea now is to try and trade those nerd glasses and the sun hat for a long wrist. Let's see what I can do.

Okay, I've literally been trading for an hour straight and have gotten nothing. So, I guess it's time to conclude part two. I don't know if I'll be posting this daily, but I'm gonna try and post it often. The whole purpose of this is to truly show that, with hard work, you can achieve your dreams, no matter where you start from. It just takes a lot of time and effort. It's also an interesting topic that I think you guys will enjoy, even though it's not my usual posting style where I'm funny and not serious (lol). But I'm tired of trading for today and this is the end of part 2.

Part 2 results: Adventure Rare Nerd Glasses, Rare Sun Hat, Two Pieces of Default Furniture

Nothing to Headdress Challenge - Part 1

Hey people of Animal JAM!
Jam, lol, I don't know why I emphasized that, but it's just hilarious.
But in this post, nobody does these anymore, and it would be actually fun to do it. Especially the hard way. But here's my twist. It's a nothing to headdress challenge. That's pretty hard.
I made an account called rhinomaster12345. I've gotten a few trades so far and currently have an orange wrist. Trust me, I didn't just start ut with that lol, it's just because I was just messing around, made a new account, and traded for a little while, then decided to do this. So, from now on, I'll be logging my trades onto these posts.
I'm going to admit something, too. Trading is something honestly fun in the game. In no ways am I siding with those rare obsessed Aldaners that only care about pixels, but trading is the base of Animal Jam. It's main attraction. Without it, I guarantee the game would be gone in one minute. And finally, I do actually find a little fun in working hard, trading up, and trying to get something. I am just not literally obsessed with rares and willing to scam people like most of the brainwashed people on the game. Anyways, this (possibly) series will get me a little bit more involved in the game, which might lead to talking to friends more, which also might lead to me posting a little more. I used which a lot in that sentence, but I don't care.
I haven't traded for a while, though, not at least since 2017. So this challenge might be a little difficult. Let's begin where I'm at now, with the orange wrist. Wait one second, though, because I also have some woven shoes and the AJ default furniture set, which are literally the rarest items ever. (Obviously not a joke)
In the first day of the account, I bought woven shoes as my first item. Then someone traded me a pizza hat from the summer carnival for a default furniture item. Yes! I managed to get really lucky when I got a diamond non member item for something I don't remember. I then traded the pizza hat for a diamond spiked collar, which was an under trade, but the person decided they didn't want the spike anyways. After that I got a deal where I traded the diamond spike and (I think) diamond gauntlets for a short orange wrist.
I just recently traded a default furniture piece for a turqoise ring. Another furniture piece was traded for a Team Direwolf Plushie. These will be ok items to add onto trades and help build up from the orange wrist.

All I did to get these was go to Jamaa Township and say "trade me, looking for deals!"
Ok so... I've been sitting here trading for like an hour. I have made no progress since those two items.
Finally, I just traded the orange wrist and turquoise ring for a yellow wrist, which is a little better and more likely to get offers.

I then just got a decent trade, where someone gave me their pet giraffe for a default furniture item.

Ok, that's gonna conclude part 1 of this challenge. This will probably take a long time to complete. I have no good post outros anymore, so bye, lol.

A New Mysterious Update

Hey guys, lol.
So yesterday there was a new update. There's not much in it, but one thing I want to address. That thing is the second page of the journal.

Okay, so we finally have something new and mysterious on our hands again. What could the statue mean, though? I'll be disappointed if it leads to some new animal like another rip off Arctic Wolf. I really hope that AJHQ is going to try and add some more lore to the game. Also, hopefully this could lead to a new feature or something cool being released, but I doubt it. This was the only interesting part of the update, too, as everything else was obviously repetitive and returning.
Anyways, in the Temple of the Ancients, there are now scrolls with messages on them. They'r scattered on the floor there.

What do you guys think this could mean? There are honestly a lot of possibilities. I just hope it does not lead to another new animal. 

I'm going to end this boring post now. I'll see you next time.

I Literally Miss The Past, lol

Umm, I was originally planning on making this post days ago, and maybe making it long. But I don't feel like it lol. I can still sum things up in a paragraph, though.
Posting about AJ updates and all that stuff felt like a chore. I know, all Bloggers pretty much say that now, and it's a stereotypical way for them to explain why they don't post as much. It's my explanation, also. I just want to say that I miss the old days. The game was so much more fun. Part of that was probably because I was younger, yes, but the entire game is just boring now. We've experienced everything on it. Most of the people that play AJ now are just newcomers, younger kids, or Aldaners that have been around since like 2016. These guys are still pretty new to the game and for the Bloggers, it's a different story. I wish that I could have fun and constantly talk to friends on this game again. It just can't happen though. It's a super boring game and they need to release newer stuff. I don't even care if it is something trendy or popular. Even if AJ tries to act cool by releasing features related to current trends. It will improve the game if it is fun and doesn't take 1 minute to complete, whatever it could be.
I don't know if you can tell, but I always say lol in my posts now. I know that I overuse it. But it's the only way to carry on my pathetic posts, lol.
I've said everything I needed to now. These things were on my mind a lot lately.

The Key to AJ Improvement?

I actually have a ton of things I want to share in posts now! I might just set a record for 2018 for the most posts made in a day on the AJ Spring.
But yeah. The key to AJ improvement. One of my latest posts about google search statistics proved that the game has seen better days. This post will show ways that AJ can improve its game, at least in my opinion.
As I've said, this game is repetitive. The same features are constantly being released. Just look at the latest update.

New animal? Been there, done that. Wild Weekend? Been there, done that. New pet? Been there, done that. Beach House? Been there, done that. New exhibit that nobody will visit? Great rhyme, but been there, done that. Spirit Armor that was released for an MMG in 2013 which is now being released as one of those armor sets that AJ returns all the time? Been there, done that. Summer items? Page filler. Useless.
See what I mean? Animal Jam does not need updates like these. And there's a reason they're doing them. A video recently uploaded by Julian2 explains exactly what I was thinking.

AJHQ has to be thinking that everybody that plays AJ just joined or something. They must believe that players quit after about a year. That's why the game is repetitive because new people will be new to the returning features. It all makes sense.
As in the video above, AJHQ needs to bring out more new features. Things that will draw attention. Sure, they might not last forever, but they will keep older players interested. For example:
- Adventures
- New Lands
- Eggstravaganza
- Lore

These things were all interesting to have in game. They really improved it. Things like auction houses, diamond mining, or anything just new to the game, would help.
I really needed to get that out. It's been on my mind. Thanks for reading, lol. (< my favorite ending, lol.)
