We had hundreds of entries into our Webkinz Insider Orioles Art Contest and some of our users came up with some really original and amazing entries!
Congratulations to our lucky forum member, Yoshi. Their entry in our Orioles Art Contest has been randomly selected to win the Lil' Kinz Black Lab with the Orioles bandana, which will be sent to them directly from the Baltimore Orioles!
There's still about 100 entries left for the Trivia Contest, so you still have a chance to win one! The thread with details on the trivia contest can be found here: http://www.webkinzinsider.com/forum/...a-t370268.html
It's free to join our forum and enter, so hurry before the 1,000th entry is reached!
Also, don't forget that the first 10,000 fans 14 and under that enter the park for the August 26th game will receive the exclusive Webkinz Lil' Kinz Black Lab with bandana, courtesy of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN). Tickets for the 7:05 p.m. Orioles vs. White Sox game start at just $8 and are available by calling 888-848-BIRD.

Since the introduction of the new game, Smoothie Moves, into Webkinz World on Wednesday, there's been quite a few WI users playing it for hours at a time. Some of our users were already experienced with playing this game, since they were "Zuma addicts" not so long ago, and are now being punished.
You see, these Zuma addicts used to stay up late into the night and play for hours and became what we like to call "Zuma Wizards", which, apparently is a punishable offense in Webkinz World. Have a look at how quickly a Zuma Wizard can play in this Youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch
Yes, the wizards are really THAT good at it, and it translates directly into their skills in Smoothie Moves. And, as you can see below, these kinds of skills in Webkinz World just aren't "reasonable".
One of our Wizards, shanhop, got to level 23 with a score of 132,000, and was supposed to be awarded 532 Kinz Cash but got this instead:
Another of our Wizards, mom-2-3, got to level 19 with a score of 94,440 with 377 Kinz Cash and got the same message:
After seeing fellow Wizards being punished, our staff Wizard, COWS4YOU, decided to create a new strategy: keep her Wizard status hidden and die early!
At this time, we aren't sure what the high score cap is on the new game, but we do know that anything below COWS4YOU's score will be considered a "reasonable" score and it's safe to stay at or below her score. We hope that we can save some of you the frustration of playing for 40+ minutes and not being awarded Kinz Cash!
UPDATE (08/23/2008): Thanks to research done by WI member mom-2-3 today, who played and died off at different levels on purpose to test the game, we can now tell you that you can safely reach up to 80,000 points and still receive your KinzCash. mom-2-3 hasn't completed her testing, so the final number could end up being higher than that. She's going to keep playing and will let us know what she finds.

Thank you to Webkinz Insider member jdb10887 for letting us know that three new clothing items have been added to the KinzStyle Shop. You can now pick up the Sleeveless Hoody (195KC), the Sleeveless Hoody Set Pants (195 KC), and the Varsity Jacket (300 KC). Fluffy had to dash out to the store to pick up the Varsity Jacket. Remember, you must have an unused KinzStyle Shopping Bag in your dock to visit the KinzStyle Shop. You can get these bags by entering the codes that come with the plushie clothing.

According to the Webkinz World Newspaper the Clubhouse is now open and "KinzChat PLUS is BACK!" However, if you still can't get into the Clubhouse, don't worry. You are not alone. We took an informal survey of the accounts belonging to the Webkinz Insider staff and their family members, and less than 25% of those accounts are able to get into the Clubhouse at all. The other accounts are still getting stuck on the blank blue screen. These numbers seem to mirror the reports we have been getting from inside the forum.
Hopefully the programmers at Ganz will have everything worked out soon, but until they do, remember, there is still a ton of stuff to do in Webkinz World outside of the Clubhouse. And, if you are looking to chat with other Webkinz World members, feel free to come on in and post in our forum. Membership on Webkinz Insider is free. And, for qualified members, our Gift Exchange is always open.
And, in totally unrelated news, the Jar of Super Jellybeans, prize from the Jellybean Challenge, can now be placed in refrigerators. Members who are lucky enough to have these items in their docks can now store them safely and not have to worry about accidentally feeding them to a hungery Webkinz. Thank you to WI Member cozmic for this picture.
NOTE: The cake in the picture is Amanda Panda's Spicy Chocolate Cake. It's a Trading Card Series 3 item.

Along with the PSIs and information about the September Webkinz releases, Ganz has added a new game to the Arcade in Webkinz World. It's called "Smoothie Moves" and reminds me of an arcade game called "Zuma" from a few years ago!
