*This is based off of the anime, 'Food Wars', but I would not recommend this for jammers under the age of 12.*
Melville's Culinary School is an elite school where jammers who are some of the best chefs in the world go to study Jamaasian gastronomy. LaSalle, the raccoon Alpha is the director of the academy and judges the well prepared dishes of the talented students that wish to join.
Originally founded by Captain Melville, the old owner of the popular joint in Crystal Sands entitled 'Captain Melville's Juice Hut', the school was simply a program where animals would go to learn Melville's secrets in creating refreshing beverages, before two minor Alphas, Harper and Amelia, decided to transform it into an admirable cooking academy serving only the most splendid dishes.
The way students are accepted into the academy is that LaSalle or one of the teachers will hear about a certain animal's dish and visit their restaurant (if they happen to own one) and sample their dishes. The following morning they present a golden box to the animal they just visited. If they find an orange token inside, that means they were accepted, but if it is blue, they were not.
Major Windyspirit, a snow leopard with dark grey fur on top and a regular gray underbelly patterned with default snow leopard patterns in his fur was one of the students that had presented an orange token. The morning he received it, he packed his bags full of his belongings, with 2 cloth sacs full of gems and a few diamonds, headed off onto Liza's wonderfully carved boat and sailed away to the school.
The academy was settled in the peaceful mountains, with a dirt path leading up to the main building and three dorms next to it; one behind a well-sized waterfall, another one in a secluded forest of bamboo; peaceful and quiet, with the third one overlooking Jamaa, close to a cliff with a beautiful view.
The anxious snow leopard entered the main building with caution, bounding over to the front desk. A dark blue raccoon attired in a pair of Rare Nerd Glasses and a blue Jamaaliday sweater greeted him with a waving paw.
"Hello, you must be Major," she inquired. "Welcome to Melville's Culinary School." Major Windyspirit dipped his head, gulping nervously.
"Uhh...yeah, that's me." he stammered.
"Okay, you are to be in the dorm behind the waterfall; Harper's living quarters. Room 105," said the raccoon. handing him a key. The raccoon smiled. "By the way, I'm LaSalle." The snow leopard gaped, nodded respectfully, and quickly turned away, heading for his dorm.
Oh my God...that was the LaSalle. And all I did was look like a complete idiot in front of her. I need to show this school that I can cook. thought Major with anxiety. He heaved a deep sigh as he exited the majestic building and headed towards his dormitory.
Should I make this into a series? I honestly don't know XD. Be honest and tell me what you would change about this. I like criticism in this case! PLEASE BE HONEST LOL
Thank you!!

Giraffes for Non-Members?!
When I logged onto AJ today, I found an unusual sight: a non-member using a giraffe animal! At first I thought they had did that "member-animal" glitch, until I noticed several more giraffes . . . all without the shiny nameplate.
In June of 2012, penguins were made for all jammers, even though they had been out for only a few months. Probable reasons were that they weren't popular enough. Could this be the same thing with the giraffe? I haven't seen many giraffes around before this!
I logged onto my separate account which is non-member, and guess what I found:

And then I became one for 1,000 gems!
So . . . I wonder what the next member-animal-turned-non-member will be (I hope it's crocodiles).
Sorry it's late, they actually made giraffes for all jammers on August 18. But anyway, keep calm and jam on!

Animal Jam Ideas!
Hey jammers, Ineffable here! Today I'll share some Animal Jam ideas with you guys! Make sure to leave your ideas in the comments below!
Before I actually start this post, I'd like to give some credit to Julian2 for this idea. He has a lot of really creative AJ improvement ideas in one of his recent videos which you can watch right here. Make sure to subscribe to his channel, his videos are so original and he puts a lot of effort into them.
Let's begin with the post!
1. This first idea has been mentioned many times, including once in Julian's video that I linked. A trading auction house would be such a great feature! The person who had the item people wanted to trade for would get the best offer possible, leaving the owner satisfied. And I feel like trading would just be a lot more fun! As if trading isn't already a huge part of the game, players would be a lot more, how do I say this, involved in trading. Although I do see this being the result of some drama/arguments.
2. Although the chances that AJHQ would ever add this in to the game would be extremely unlikely, I think it would be cool if there was a way to travel back to the literal beta days. You wouldn't be able to buy any items, but just explore Jamaa's old land. I really love the old Crystal Sands, to be honest, I prefer it. But AJHQ probably doesn't have all the old files and might not have all the employees that worked for them in the beta testing period.
3. Player profiles would definitely have to be an optional feature in the game. Yes, there is a player card, but players could let others know a bit more about them. You could add your gender (definitely optional) but no real name. Maybe a short bio (which would be verified by AJHQ) and maybe some simple features like your favorite animal, main look, etc.
4. Weather settings would make the game a lot more interesting, and in my opinion, exciting. There would be an icon, maybe like a raindrop or snowflake, and you could control how bright it was outside, the weather, etc. This would be great for making videos and roleplaying and just a fun thing to goof around with.
5. Texture packs would take a loooonggggg time to actually work and make. I don't really play Minecraft anymore, but when I did, I remember texture packs were so awesome! Players could make their own texture packs, submit them to AJHQ and get them verified, and then maybe post a download link on a texture pack website or something.
6. Even though AJHQ has brought us the wonderful 'preview' feature, the appearance of items can still be unpredictable. For example, when walking around Jamaa or doing a certain action the item can be very glitchy (e.g. digs into the animal in unnatural ways which is very disturbing to watch) so maybe you could have a 'test run', like you'd be able to walk around for 20 seconds and test out actions.
7. A wishlist would be something where players could add certain items that other players could view. Then people would know what to trade the owners of items they really want.
Well that's about it for the ideas, I hope you enjoyed them!

Glitched Spike?!
Hey jammers! Ineffable here!
I wanted to inform you guys about some news slowly spreading around Jamaa.
*I found this info on Instagram from various users*
So, this person with the username of 'pillowcloud' reportedly owns a magenta colored spike, which is the color of many glitched/ deleted items (e.g. magenta furry) because that is a certain color AJHQ workers use for testing items sometimes. Nobody is sure where the spike came from.
Maybe they work for Animal Jam? Or maybe it's one of those rare cases where the parent actually does work for AJHQ?
Here's the player profile + a magenta spike graphic (sorry for the terrible quality)

Some people think it might be from the spikes that were released into the Diamond Shop for a few days recently, but you can tell it is a long spiked collar and the ones in the Diamond Shop (which had tinted blue spikes on them) were short collars.
If you have any more information on the topic or any theories, let us know in the comments below!
By the way, one of the YouTubers that first made a video about this was Pianoskycat, so make sure to check out her channel and her video!

Pet Freebies!
Hey jammers! Quick post by Ineffable :)
Again, sorry for being inactive on this blog, we assure you, something big is coming, just read Panda's last post and you'll have all the details!
If you didn't already know, a new update just came out today where you can trade pets! You can't gift them, though. I would do an in-depth update report but I don't have much time to write, I have to go very soon DX.
Since I have all 4 types of promo pets, a ton of people have traded me random pets and I barely have any pet inventory space anymore. Oh my God, I've been saying the word 'pet' so much it's not even funny.
Okay, now to be a slight bit more formal. I've gotten tons of pets and I'll be glad to give somebody one of them! Since you can't gift them, you can just put something on trade, like a necklace or something not valuable to you.
Here are the pets you can ask for! (1 pet per person, comment below your username + which pet you want)
Pets (in list order):
Pet Tiger: Daintyfish
Pet Meerkat: Flutterlemon
Pet Polar Bear: Crunchykat
Pet Ferret: Waterpeach
Pet Armadillo: Snowwings
If you don't like how the pet looks, you can either change it's accessories OR, if you don't already have the pet you can buy a new one and make it's outfit. You can also use them to trade.

Graham's Gazette!
Hey jammers! Panda here!
So, part of the reason I've been sort of MIA on this blog for the majority of this month is because I've been working on a special project with some of the AJGC Management Team! We were inspired by the Mirazine digital Animal Jam magazine to make our own! Since the Mirazine is no longer active, the AJ community needs something new to read every month, right? ^.^
AJGC's digital magazine will be called Graham's Gazette, and our first edition will be published on August 21st. I'm super excited for this edition and all future editions to come!
You can check out the Graham's Gazette website here:
http://grahamsgazette.wixsite.com/magazine
And if you have an Instagram, you can also follow the official Graham's Gazette Instagram page (we're @grahamsgazette) here:
https://www.instagram.com/grahamsgazette/
Same with Google Plus here:
https://plus.google.com/103792290924166253205/posts
We hope that you will all enjoy this magazine! ^.^ It will be released at around the same time every month, so make sure to follow our social medias for updates, release dates sneak peeks and more!
Oh! I almost forgot! If you have a blog, Instagram, Google Plus, Twitter etc. it would be amazing if you could post one of these lil' buttons on your page! I'd be ever so grateful! ^.^
Thank you all for being so supportive of me, the blog's authors and all of our projects and endeavours! You are truly THE BEST! <3 p="">
Have an amazing day! :D

Upcoming Animal Jam Events!
Hey guys, sorry for not posting lately, the authors have been caught up in a special project...which will be public very soon...hehe
So, if you aren't on Instagram, kingking.aj on Instagram hosted the first "official" Animal Jam dance. It's definitely not the first, because all the time you'll see people hosting proms and parties on AJ but I'd say this is one of the first to be majorly publicized. It happened last Friday, and the theme was 'gold'. In order to participate you had to dress according to the theme, repost the original post and bring a date.
If you missed that, here are some other dances/parties you can attend!
Kingo is hosting another party, and these other two parties are inspired by his!
The thing is, all of these are on the same day...(December's party date is slightly cropped, it looks like August 1st but it's the 19th as well.
And be sure to stay tuned for more details on this exciting magazine project we're working on...IT'S ALMOST DONE!

New Play Wild Update!
Hiya everyone, Friday's almost here, so I decided to kick off my posting with news about the brand new update of AJ's app!
First, honey bees are now available as the fourth adorable pet. Their wings are so pretty as they flap rapidly by your animal's side. They cost 50 sapphires (and I'm broke haha).
We also have a new game out! It's called Block Break, and can be found in Serepia Forest, next to the large log. It has sixty levels, and you get special prizes for complete certain ones . . . there are power ups which can give you extra balls, make your trampoline grow bigger, and I think there's one with a reverse symbol thingy which I haven't figured out yet.
Aww, aren't the other pets so cute as well? Pets can now play with the items you buy in the shop in Appondale! I was actually just thinking what the use of them were if they didn't do anything . . .
The Wild Explorers tent has opened up in 3D as well. Just like the in-game version, it's found in Coral Canyons and has some educational videos, a feisty phantom, while sunlight beautifully streams in through the windows.
Finally, spiked wristbands are coming! I'm not sure where they'll be located, though . . . probably either in the sapphire shop or as a gift from the treasure hunt. Including the fact you can now try on clothes before buying first.
By the way, here's a cute AJ bee graphic!
Well, that's all for now! Keep calm and jam on!
