Hi there everyone!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Sandor, Flippr's owner and designer!
I came here to fill you in on one of my favorite parts of Flippr: mascots!
Flippr has real mascots for you to meet! (Don't worry, you can still dress up as them with the !UP command)
I wanted to give you guys some details on how this will work. As I said before, you can still dress up as mascots with the UP command, but each mascot has one unobtainable, unimitable item. Also, while everyone can where special mascot playercards, each mascot has a unique playercard that cannot be imitated. This allows you to determine who are the real mascots. The pictures below are the appearances mascots have when not at a party. If a mascot has a special playercard for a party, we'll be sure to post it here on the blog.
Without further ado, here are Flippr's mascots!
From left to right (if you don't know)
Klutzy, Herbert, Gary, Aunt Arctic
Rookie, Rockhopper, Cadence, Paige
Jet Pack Guy, Sensei, Rory, Dot
Ultimate Protobot 10K, Ski Bot, Jet Bot, Wheel Bot
Me (Sandor), Tusk
As you can see, each mascot has some similarities to the others. Here's some tips to confirm a mascot is real if you are confused:
1) A real mascot's playercard will ALWAYS have a glowing circle around the character
2) A real mascot will ALWAYS have a gift button where you can claim their background
3) A real mascot will NEVER ask you to reveal information such as passwords
Keep in mind, mascot backgrounds will NOT be obtainable with the AI command later, so make sure to meet them when they appear!
Check back at the blog often for more sneak peaks, and check back on St. Valentine's Day for launch!
