Can you believe it’s almost August already? August is artist appreciation month and we’re challenging everyone to transform their cave into a work of art!

We know Webosaurs is filled with talented dinos, but this week we’re going to put your skills to the test. Our judges will be looking for artwork in the form of creative, expressive, decorative and unique caves. Post a comment here to let us know you’re entering the contest and we’ll send a judge to view your masterpiece this Sunday.

You can even invite some friends to come up for backing vocals, or do a duet! At the end of the party, the guest judges will pick the top 3 performances and award coins and cheesey trophies. The event will be held in the Understory Layer so make sure you’ve unlocked it if you haven’t already!

Dance Party Tournament

Day two of the Song and Dance Weekend is an all out Dance Party Tournament. No sign ups, just show up for the event and we’ll do groups of three. A mod will be in game for each one to referee the scores. We’ll just keep going until it filters down to two people left for a final. All dances will be held on hard mode and the tournament will be single elimination. We’ll be meeting in Buckland’s Peak and all dinos will stay in the peak unless their name is called for a round. After the round all dinos are to head back to Buckland’s Peak until it is their turn again.

Winners of the Dance Party Tournament will be getting the coveted Raptor Trophies!

Where: Buckland’s Peak, Triassic Server

When: Saturday, July 31st – 12:00 WST

Daily Dino Fact: Here, kitty kitty

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Iz all up in ur habitatz, eating ur herbivorez

Q: What was the fiercest prehistoric cat of them all? -Irvine

A: Well well well, Irvine. This is a great question. Obviously, sabre toothed cats and wooly mammoths and the like came long after the time of the dinosaurs, in the Early Pleistocene. You bring up a great point about the cats though, because most everyone knows about the famed Smilodon AKA “sabre toothed tiger” but did you know there were many other sabre toothed cats at this time?

There are at least 40 known genera of sabre toothed cats from the Pleistocene, and not all of them even come from the same family! For some reason, multiple groups of mammals evolved to have giant sharp teeth protruding out of their mouths. Nature has a funny way of experimenting with ways to eat other animals!

Who knew Little Fang was so lethal?

We can’t really say for sure which one was the MOST fierce, because you have to admit they’re all pretty gnarly. We’d have to go with Smilodon though, as they were the biggest of all of them. Some of them weighed up to 1,200 lbs (500 kg) !! That is how much a grizzly bear can weigh. Yeah, these guys were nasty. Add giant teeth that grew to 11 inches (28 cm) long and you’ve got a prehistoric killing machine on your hands.

Protectosaur Meetings – Tuesday

Monday, July 26th, 2010

If you aren’t familiar, we encourage our Protectosaurs to meet up as a group once a week to discuss issues on the island and other items of interest. However, the meetings aren’t closed off to only Pros – they are more like Town Hall style meetings for everyone to discuss island business. Everyone has an equal stake in Webosaurs and we would love to hear what is on your mind. Come by and chat, but please remember to be respectful as we try to run our meetings in an organized fashion!

Where: Secret Temple

When: Tuesday, July 27th – 12:00 WST and 16:00 WST

Server: Triassic

Game of the Week – Demolition Derby

Monday, July 26th, 2010

You’ve asked for it and now it’s happening. This week’s Game of the Week is none other than the crazy destruction of Demolition Derby. Hop in your best derby car to destroy your friends. If ramming them isn’t enough, fire off with your machine gun or drop some bombs on a fool!

You can find Demolition Derby on the right side of the Tonto Plateau. If you need a break from getting blown up you can always shake a leg across the way at Dance Party. Oh yeah, and Demolition Derby usually gives out a lot of coins as it is. This week it should giving out a whole lot more.

Farewell Cowasaurus

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Today’s party marked the end of more than a week of Cowasaurus madness. We’ve had some great times with this crazy cow/dinosaur thing. He loves grass. He’ll hug you. He’ll also poop on you. Still, we love Cowasaurus and he’s become a member of the Webosaurs family.

We had some great times in the Giant Umbrella today for his party, and ended with a few rounds of Dance Party, Demo Derby and Sand Surfing. I asked Cow to say some words before he left -

“Moooo. MOOOO. MOOO!!!! MOO MOO. MOO? MOO MOOOOO MOO”

And then he pooped.

I think what he’s trying to say is “You all have been so great to me. Making friends with you has been the best time of my life. Thanks for the grass and I promise I’ll see you again soon.”

I think…
