Chef Gaspacho and his new assistant Sophia Souffle have announced the addition of Five new Secret Recipes in Webkinz World. Many of our members have already reported getting these recipes as prizes with Pet of the Month Adoptions and with Trading Card codes. How to you make the new recipes? Well, there's a reason they're called "Secret". Come on in and join the members of our fourm in working to figure them out.
Thank you to all of our members who voted in the Dog Theme vs. Cat Theme contest last week. While we can't predict how the voting on the poll in Webkinz World went, we can tell you that according to the votes from our members, the Dog Theme is preferred over the Cat Theme by 55% to 45%.
We'd like to congratulate the two winners of the contest who were selected by random drawing from all of the votes cast: swimmom35 is now the proud owner of a Golden Retriever and Merriam of a Black Cat. swimmom35 and Merriam, we will be contacting you later today with information on how you can claim your prizes.
Before the introduction of the Trade Room, members negotiating trades in the Clubhouse had to worry whether or not the other person would send their items. The brand new Trade Tables, which allow both members to send at the exact same time, have taken care of that problem.
Unfortunately, there is no safeguard in place to make sure that the trade you are making is a fair trade. Several of our moderators have spent the morning testing out the Trade Rooms and have discovered an alarming pattern of traders offering food and small W-Shop items in exchange for valuable rare items.
The message we would like to send to all of our readers is this: If you wish to try out the WW Trade Room, start trading with items that you can easily replace rather than your best treasures. This room is not designed as a place to score the rarest retired WW item. It is a place to make WW friends and have fun swapping little items.
If you have a question about the value of your items, please check out our Webkinz Insider Gift Exchange Value Guide, located here: http://www.webkinzinsider.com/forum/official-webkinz-insider-t141017.html . Remember, if you feel uncomfortable with the trade or feel that the other trader is being unfair, you do NOT need to trade and can back out at any time.
Also, please keep in mind that Trade Discussion on Webkinz Insider is ONLY allowed inside of the Gift Exchange area. Trades made in the WW Trade Room, should be negotiated in WW Trade Room. If you wish to discuss trades on Webkinz Insider, please consider joining our Gift Exchange.
Here is an example of a trade that was offered to one of our moderators this morning:
As many of you have noticed, there is a new survey in Webkinz World. It looks like Ganz is planning on retiring one of the older themes from the W-Shop and they have asked Webkinz World members to help them choose.
Here on Webkinz Insider, we have decided to run a contest that will mirror the survey in Webkinz World. However, unlike the WW survey, we are asking you which theme you think Ganz should keep. Vote carefully, the choice you make may end up determining your prize.
Two winners will be randomly selected from the votes cast. One member from the Dog votes will win a Webkinz Golden Retriever and one member from the Cat votes will win a Webkinz Black Cat. The contest will run for one week, from Tuesday, May 20th through Monday, May 26th. The winners will be announced on Tuesday, May 27th.
We're not sure when it happened, but the virtual graphics for the Samoyed dog in Webkinz World appear to have been updated recently with an extra curly tail and smooth cheeks. Thank you to Mariko, a member of our forum, for calling this change to our attention.
