The Bad and The Good of Price Floors

If you've been checking up on Roblox lately, you've probably already heard of the new "Price Floor."
Some passionate hate against the Price Floor.
My friend and I were playing Roblox together, and I decided that I wanted us to have a matching outfit. I showed her the shirt I wanted us to wear, and to my surprise, the price got really high. I remembered just yesterday buying it for the classic price of 5 tickets, but it got up to 60 times more! At first I thought this was a joke by the creator. 300 tix? Yeah right! Then I looked at other shirts. All of them were 300 tix. This was the day they released the new Price Floor.

The Bad

Save the lame, insightful comments for last. Let's rant and complain first!
  • It's not what we're used to. Remember those days when a plain, white shirt was just a ticket? Yeah, good times, man! Practically-free prices have become a thing of the past, just like bevels and those funky head-shapes they've neglected for years. Expensive prices are the new norm, didn't 'cha hear? Change is hard for a lot of people, especially when it just came as second nature to them.
  • You gotta wait 10 days. A lot of impatient people play Roblox. When all you want is a simple white t-shirt, I can understand why you're antsy. Unless you have something better to do in your free time, you're going to be tired of waiting.
  • A lot of people don't update their prices. After they lowered the Price Floor by 200 tix, people who don't check on their clothes that much (or simply don't care) neglected to change it to the minimum price of 100 tix. Now these green, polka-dot pajamas are extremely expensive (in the comments, you see people complaining about the price of 30 tix. Gee, if only they stuck around long enough to see this!).

The Good

Enough with the complaints. Enough, I say! Let's bring a little positivity to the table.
  • You're spending your cash on the stuff you really want. In real life, you don't walk around with 4 dollars and come home with 2 shirts you're not planning to really ever wear; you just bought them for novelty. With this new price floor, clothes shopping is a bit more, well, realistic. If the shirt has a donut wearing a wig on it, I'm gonna laugh. But I'm not going to spend 100 tix on it if I don't really think I'm gonna wear it.
  • You hold on to what you have. You're not Mr. Playboy Millionaire with your growing collection of beautiful sweaters in every color you can think of. You have to save up, and if you saved up for 10 days, my guess is that you're gonna wanna wear that bad-boy sweater. You're gonna wear that sweater like you were born to wear that sweater because you spent 10 days saving up for it. "Wow, look at that sweater! He waited 10 days for that you know," ladies everywhere will chant. And then in 10 more days, maybe you can get a new one. But the point I'm trying to make is that you have a limited collection, and you're not just going to wear a shiny, bright, new sweater everyday. You're gonna wear that sweater until it grows grey hairs.

The Wind by Asimo3089

Grab a coat and head on down to Asimo3089's The Wind!

This hangout takes place in a freezing, serene land of snow. There's a lot to see outside in the windy landscape. It's a good idea to cover up your Robloxian with a coat, gloves, and pants.
There are many trees and some bumpy hills. Frozen ice is everywhere--feel free to skate!
And when you decide it's too cold outside, there's a lovely little house where you can relax and have some lunch or drink some tea. You can sit on the couch and hang out by the warm fireplace.
This place is excellently built; you really should check it out!

Awesome Places to Troll: Welcome to the Town of Robloxia

My first real post on this blog is about Welcome to the Town of Robloxia (we'll just call it Robloxia for short from now on). It's probably the best place the troll because there are so many OD'ers and people who take roleplay so seriously. Well, let's see what will happen this time.

I usually now start off by wearing a very unflattering outfit. For me, it has resulted in very interesting (and often hilarious) outcomes.
In this picture, I am modelling my bold fashion statement. A bold Betty Boop dress, red shoes to match, heart-shaped shades, a gaudy pink necklace, and white evening gloves to top it all off. You like?

Now it's time to troll. I'm going to have to suffer through that 6 minute long waiting screen, though.
Well, that didn't take long at all! I typed out the classical OD'er call. "123 for bf." Someone said "123," and, well, you know the drill. So our cars met eventually (obviously this guy was new to roleplay) and he (I'm going to say he because I couldn't tell if that was a boy or a girl) said "ahhhhhh" and drove away. Pretty quickly, too! But I'm not satisfied with this. No, no, no. Let's try again on a different server.

"What's up pup?"
I've never had a trolling experience with a dog before! This oughta be good.
"Come in pretty sweeting."
Let's start off by being a little bit too friendly.
"I'm a dog not your wife."
After stroking him in a few different ways, I guess he decided I was too close for his comfort.
"911! Police! Help me!"
And, well, maybe he took this a bit far.
"Yay! In your face owner! You're on drugs!"
I finally let him out. It was sad to watch him go. Bye bye, lil' pup.

Well, that was pretty funny, right? No? Try for yourself! Here's the formula for creating a strange outfit similar to mine (there are different ways; this is my way):
  1. Hair. The hair is almost everything in this outfit. Choose a hairstyle a boy would probably wear.
  2. Dresses! Jalki makes very girly dresses. Look in her "pants" section to see a few.
  3. An ugly face on Roblox leads to ugly outcomes. I recommend "chill." It looks really, really creepy. If you have 3.0, maybe use the "Man" or "Woman" face that comes with the package (the "Man" especially).
  4. Accessorize. Experiment with some jewelry or evening gloves (as I did). Maybe add some bows in your hair?
  5. Mix it all together. You want (yes, want) people to be confused with your gender. That's part of what makes this troll fun!
If you follow this list, who knows? You might have a disastrous outcome (the worse the better in terms of trolling). Never stop trying! And never, ever reveal that you're just a troll. You must act like you are serious about all of this.

Anyways, thanks for reading. I worked somewhat hard on this. I'll write later today!

Welcome to my blog!

The Roblox Journals is a place where I, well, write things about Roblox. I don't know exactly what things I should write about, but whenever something interesting or absolutely hilarious occurs, I'll be writing it here for sure. Thanks for visiting!
