Three Stooges Hits Roblox.

There have been some The Three Stooges themed items in the catalog recently. For example, there is a Three Stooges Cap and a Three Stooges Shirt by ROBLOX. There are also some other Three Stooges items, that are unobtainable and some people have been asking how to get them. To get the unobtainable Three Stooges items, simply earn accomplishments in Welcome to Stoogeville! This event promotes The Three Stooges The Movie, which is coming out on April 13th. In this game you can win up to four items, and they are Moe's Hair, Larry's Hair, the Wooden Mallet, and the Lobster. It is much like ROBLOX Base Wars FPS and even has the same scripts, just edited a bit. However, it is a well built and scripted game.

Here's how the game works. You first get to choose which stooge you will play as. You can either play as Moe, Larry, or Curly. You then join either the red team or the blue team. The goal is to explore your hometown, Stoogeville, and work with your team to make 830,000$ before the other team does. You can earn 1,000$ for defeating someone and you can earn 3,000$ for capturing a capture point. To capture a capture point simply find one and stand on it for ten seconds. You can poke or slap your enemies, but there is also weapons hidden throughout the map you can also use. You can also block to avoid attacks. Now, here's how you can get all four items. To get Moe's Hair, simply win a round as Moe. To get Larry's Hair, win a round as Larry. Curly does not have any hair so if you win a round as him you will get the Wooden Mallet instead of hair. The hardest Three Stooges item to get is the Lobster. In order to get the Lobster you must have more money than everybody else at the end of a round. In other words, you must be the MVP. (Most Valuable Player) Time for some tips!

 Tips:
 - The only difference between Moe, Larry, and Curly is what they look like and what items you earn by playing as them. If you're trying to get MVP it doesn't matter who you're playing as.

- If a capture point is white, that means no one has captured it yet. If a capture point is blue, that means the blue team has captured it. If a capture point is red, that means the red team has captured it.

- It's faster to capture capture points rather than to attack the opposing team.

- When trying to steal capture points from the opposing team, it's better to attack with others rather than to attack alone.

- If you are on the blue team, it's a good idea to get the capture points near the fountain and in the movie theater when the game begins.

- If you are on the red team, it's a good idea to get the capture points near the apartments and in the church when the game begins.

- Be careful if you go underground to get the underground capture point; the ladders are tough to climb and so it can be hard to get out of the underground.

- Always get a weapon before you attack a lot of people; poking and slapping isn't very effective. Weapons such as the broom do great damage.

- If your computer lags a lot on this game, it's a good idea to try to get MVP when not many people are playing.

- You can always check the leaderboard by pressing Q while you have the Poke Attack, the Block, or the Slap Attack equipped.

- If you are in a server with tons of people who get outrageous high scores, you should probably go to a different server to have a better chance of getting MVP.

Currency Exchange And Catalog Offline.

Yesterday Roblox had an unusal falt in the system here's what David had to say.


We experienced a site issue yesterday evening that triggered alerts, and we intentionally took the site offline. Two things happened prior to taking the site offline:

• Several assets were released from our backlog that were not ready for production
• Several accounts were incorrectly granted large amounts of ROBUX. Some of these ROBUX were subsequently traded with other accounts

We have a virtual-economy failsafe that has kicked in, and for some time this morning all catalog purchases and currency trading will be turned off while we undo the incorrect transactions that occurred late yesterday afternoon. We will keep you updated as to when we turn purchases back on.

To some of us what happened yesterday was annoying for others it might of just been confusing, so let us hope everything turns out all right.

Telamons's name changed!

Many of you will slate this as 'old news', but since there has been no real officialannouncement or forum post; I just wanted to let you guys know!

Telamon has changed his username to Shedletsky - which is his surname and also his username for his twitter account. This will make it easier for users to find him on twitter as now both his ROBLOX and twitter usernames are the same. 

It is not strictly true however, that his username was changed; it was actually swapped with his alternate account which was previously called Shedletsky, but which is now called Telamon.


Some old users may dislike this change as they have been used to John Shedletsky being known simply as 'Telamon'. However, it has standardised his username which from his point of view is a positive thing because more ROBLOX users can follow him on twitter and give him their feedback on all things ROBLOX.

Place Review: Galactic Domination

Space, the final frontier. These are the reviews of the A.R.N Enterprise. It's ongoing mission, to explore creative new places. To seek out new ideas and brilliant places. To boldly go where no robloxian has gone before. After exploring robloxia extensively I have found a brilliant new place.
Gameplay 10/10
The basic goal of this game is to conquer all the planets. To do so you need to destroy all the buildings on the planet and then take over the control point. You can make buildings on your planet in order to defend it such as turrets, ship spawners, and reactors. Each building has a specific purpose. The reactors give you credits so you can buy more buildings, turrets constantly fire on enemy ships. There are also extremely intense dog-fights in this game that rely on skill and agility. There are 6 different ships and all are good for different things. The scout is great at looking at other planets but is terrible in combat. The fighter can take out most ships but is slow. The bomber has a lot of health but is very slow. There are also other ships called blast boats that are very slow but do devastating amounts of damage.
Effort 10/10
There are tons of scripts at work here. There are 6 different ships, a ton of buildings that are scripted to do certain things. The maps are also brilliantly made.
Creativity 10/10
This game is completely unique. I have never seen another game like this, sure there have been sci-fi games but none of them ever went to this scale.
Overall 10/10
Suggestions

• Add more buildings
• Add a secret cake planet
• Fix the glitch where you spawn on top of the space station (add more spawns?)
• Add some kind of KO/WO system.

Place Review: Destruction Derby

This week I decided to review the classic game called "Destruction Derby," which is a self-explanatory where the objective is to get into a car and destroy the other person's vehicle. Like every week, I review the thumbnail, which is a critical part of the entire place. So, at first glance, we see two cars colliding into each other and bricks flying everywhere. There's obviously a motion blur on it, because it blurs your vision when viewed tons of times.

The most important part of a place is the thumbnail, remember that when making a game. We enter the place and are placed in the spawn room. Not your modern spawn room, more basic and classic looking. The vehicles are placed in tiny rooms, they aren't visible. There's a purple button that turns black when touched and the vehicle resets. I'll say this, that this review wont be large because it's an old game that's really simple and doesn't really need much. The map is where you can crash into others. The map itself isn't much, just a green inclosed area with some ramps and stuff, not too exciting. So, this ends this review.

Scripting: 1/10, not many obvious scripts and most are just copies of old scripts.
Tools: No tools needed.
Building: 3/10, not too interesting.
Community Enjoyment: 9/10, many people enjoy this classic.
Originality: 5/10, back then, there were places like these.
Creativity: 3/10, not too creative.
Deals with Problems: 10/10, no problems.
Reviewer's Experience with Lag: 10/10, no lag.
Difficulty: Very Easy
Reviewer's Enjoyment: 8/10, I enjoy this classic.
Reviewer's Recommendation: 9/10, recommend this.
Overall: 9 & a half/10, great game, not excellent.

Goodbye Ambassador Program

Today, ROBLOX decided it was time for the Ambassador program to go. Here was the System Notification Telamon sent out:

"ROBLOX has decided to discontinue the Ambassador's Program. As of today, it is gone. It was an interesting experiment and we would like to thank all of our users who participated. Ultimately we think it was too spammy in a way that conflicted with our company core values, so it had to go."

 For some of us, this will be a huge change in the source of income. And others, it's just a little, unnoticed feature, gone. I have to agree with Telamon though, the Program was getting a bit out of hand. I hope none of you relied on it too much for Tickets.
