New Sneak Peek!
Hello Penguins!I've just seen the plans for February and I had to share them with you. Obviously, there is a lot I won't be able to talk about yet, but hopefully you'll all enjoy the little bit that I can share.
- New Game: This one has been asked about a lot and it is almost finished!
- Festival of Snow: This party adds the cool feature of being decorated mostly by you and your designs!
- Captain Rockhopper: I've heard he might return, but no one knows when!
- Clock Tower: This idea came straight from you guys and we love it!
- New Igloo Design: It will be themed around the party so you can have your very own "Festival of Snow" with your friends!
As always, we've got some other surprises up our sleeve, but hopefully this shows just a few of the cool things that will be happening around Club Penguin in the coming weeks!
Until then... Waddle On!

Tour Guide Ban Issue
Hello Penguins!We've received a lot of email from penguins who can't be tour guides because they have more than one ban. At first, we didn't want to make any changes, because we don't want to reward bad penguins by allowing them to be tour guides. But then, one of you gave us the idea of helping bad penguins become good penguins by rewarding them for changing their ways.
So we decided to make a new rule. Starting tomorrow, if your penguin is at least 45 days old and if you have not been banned in the last 30 days, you can become a tour guide. This means that those of you who have been banned will have to be good from now on and after 30 days, you can become a tour guide.
Hopefully this helps everyone become the best penguin they can be!
In other news: We've had a lot of great submissions for next months party decorations, but if you have more ideas, keep them coming!.
Until then... Waddle On!

A Lot of Tours!!
Hello Penguins!
Well, as you can see, the tours seem to be a big hit and they are already helping a lot of new penguins find their way around Club Penguin!
Because this is the first day, there will be a lot of tour guides and a lot of tours to go on. Don't worry if you're having trouble giving a tour this weekend, in the coming weeks it will be less crazy and a lot easier to find people to help.
Next week I'll start sharing more details on the upcoming "Festival of Snow" party! Also, don't forget to submit those drawings of snowmen and ice sculptures. Who knows, yours might be chosen to be a real decoration in next months party!
Until then... Waddle On!

Start Creating!
Hello Penguins!
I just wanted to give you a heads up to start sharpening those pencils and crayons. Next month's party will be awesome, but we need your help to decorate!
Starting soon, you will be able to send in a drawing of a snowman or ice sculpture that you think would be cool. Then our team will choose 15-20 and actually create them as decorations around Club Penguin at next months party!
More details on how to submit your drawings will be in tomorrows paper so start creating!
Also, tomorrows paper will give all the details about the Tour Guide program including how old your penguin will have to be to become a guide.
Until then... Waddle On!

Tour Ideas!
Hello Penguins!
Many of you have already noticed that construction has begun on the tour booth in Club Penguin. We're going to announce more details later this week, but this is going to be the primary place for all things tour related.
Before the tour guide program begins, we thought it would be fun to have everyone submit your best idea for something that would be interesting to talk about on a Club Penguin tour. Please only submit one idea per comment so more people have a chance to post. It could be something from Club Penguin's history, or maybe a tip on how to play certain games better. I'll try to post as many as I can so we can all be prepared to give the best possible tours!
Until then... Waddle On!

Fiesta!! (and flooring)
Hello Penguins!
Well, the Fiesta is off to a great start! We're all having a blast and I hope you are too. Make sure you find the maracas and the new pin. The new pin is hidden in a brand new way for the party so have fun finding it!
In other news: The igloo flooring is launched, but we've been getting reports of it disappearing once you enter your igloo. We're also getting reports of people getting stuck with "terracotta" floors even if they bought something else. Thanks for your patience, we're working hard to get those fixed as quickly as possible.
Until then... Waddle On!

In other news: The "Official Tour Guide" program starts next week and we are all very excited about it. Many of you older penguins have been giving tours for a long time and we wanted to recognize you for all your hard work with some cool new features! I'll give you more details next week.

Sneak Peek!
Hello Penguins!
Sorry it has taken me so long to post, but I have been out of town for the last week. Anyway, to make up for it, I decided to post something that is really exciting!
Next week's igloo catalog will not just have new furniture, but it will have a brand new feature and way to decorate your igloo!
There have been a lot of requests for this one so we've been working hard for the last couple of weeks to make it happen!
I can't say anything else right now, but I'll give you some more hints next week.
Until then... Waddle On!
