Talk:Pen Pal Messages

Dear Modran:

I hope this letter finds you well. (I learned that in school!)

I just got a new pet rat! I named it Rex. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and exfoliate him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.

The other day, me and Hank went out to the haunted cave by my house to look for treasure. It was scary! We had to run away from a bunch of mean wolves, and I scraped my knee up pretty bad, but it was worth it, because we found a cool rusty coin!

Do they have these where you live? They're so hot! I can eat three of them at a time. One time I tried to eat four, and I had to go to the nurse.

Dear Modran:

Hello!

Mom kept pestering me to hose down my little sister while I was playing Mass Punk 7 today. I tried to tell her I was in the middle of a boss fight, but she made me do it anyway. She said "Laugh and the world laughs with you, but how you play the game." I have no idea what she's talking about when she says stuff like that. Sometimes I wonder if I'm adopted.

Bagitha Rollins asked me to go to the Sladie Thompkins dance with her. I haven't decided. She's alright, I guess. She's funny, and kind of cute. It's better than not being asked at all. I'd rather go with Nevaeh Ferguson, but she's going out Mr. Bigshot duck, duck, goose star Avery Alvarado, so fat chance of that. He thinks he's so cool, but he's a huge jerk. I don't know what she sees in him.

Dear Modran:

Greetings from Distant Lands!

My mom says I'm playing too many video games and getting too fat. So now when I get home from school, I have to walk over hot coals for an hour before she'll let me in the house. I told her that all of my friends are way fatter than I am, and you know what she said? She said, "When the going gets tough, the mice will play." I mean, what does that even mean?

Yesterday we went exploring in the haunted cave over by Old Man Blankenship's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for tresspassing, but we managed to grab a neat gold compass before we left.

My mom got me this shirt, but it's a little too big for me, and plus, these things have been out of style for like twenty years. Maybe it'll fit you? I know Adventurers don't have much fashion sense, so it shouldn't embarrass you too much... You acquire an item: Ultracolor™ shirt Hasta la vista! I learned that in class, that's Borderspeak for goodbye!

Dear Modran:

I hope this letter finds you well. (That's how my mother says I should start letters. Only she calls 'em "missives" -- what's that all about?)

Me and Freddy spent a few hours working on our radical tree fort yesterday. We're almost done with the swimming pool and we're working on an iron portcullis to keep the girls out.

I just read a bunch of manuals about arranging catfish, and can't wait to try it!

My dad gave me this -- I told him I wanted a sword and shield kit so I could grow up to be an Adventurer, but he said that was stupid and childish and that there was no future in it. Anyway, this is dumb and boring and you can have it. You acquire an item: Li'l Businessman Kit Okay, bye!

Your pen pal, Nate Nelson--Modran 06:02, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

It would be nice to have all the items organised by when you get them (That is, class and level) on there own page, or if that page exists (I couldn't find it) a more obvious link--Gearge 13:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I've added the basics here, and linked to My Own Pen Pal kit for the detail.--ArgghFW 15:18, 30 June 2011 (CEST)

Colors

Timmy Thornton told me about his azure room and Sapphire Mount today...--Jambosque 16:14, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh! About 2 weeks ago, golden room and Silver Mount as well.--Jambosque 16:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Added--ArgghFW 15:18, 30 June 2011 (CEST)

Sapphire Mount again, but this time it's a green room!--Jambosque 10:39, 4 July 2011 (CEST)

Sapphire Mount again (stop deleting your save data, Timmy!) and a fuchsia room...--Jambosque 10:05, 6 July 2011 (CEST)

Emerald Mount, mustard room! Mustard is new!--Jambosque 00:41, 18 August 2011 (CEST)

Amethyst Mount, salmon room; adding salmon.--Jambosque 07:33, 31 August 2011 (CEST)

Hobo Nicknames

Do they draw from the same set as Hobopolis hobos? (Or is it pluralized hoboes?) In any case, I've seen "Cheeseburger":

• So there's this new kid in school, Pauly "Cheeseburger" McClain, and he says his dad's a real-live hobo from the Kingdom of Loathing! Have you ever fought any hobos? I'll bet I could take a hobo if I had to. I mean, if I really totally had to. Especially if I could bring my favorite Pokëmann, Vegemite.--Jambosque 10:09, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

2 more to add:

• So there's this new kid in school, Matty "Powderpuff" David, and he says his dad's a real-live hobo from the Kingdom of Loathing! Have you ever fought any hobos? I'll bet I could take a hobo if I had to. I mean, if I really totally had to. Especially if I could bring my favorite Pokëmann, Bloodkip.
• So there's this new kid in school, Todd "High School Sweetheart" Noble, and he says his dad's a real-live hobo from the Kingdom of Loathing! Have you ever fought any hobos? I'll bet I could take a hobo if I had to. I mean, if I really totally had to. Especially if I could bring my favorite Pokëmann, Kagosan.

So, 3 legitimate Normal Hobo Nicknames seen so far. The first names draw from Pen Pal Boy Names so far, but the last names are not hobo last names -- McClain, David, Noble... Are they Pen Pal Last Names that haven't been listed yet?--Jambosque 13:36, 26 August 2011 (CEST)

VG names?

Some of the names, if paired up correctly, are real games (Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed, etc.) I know there's probably slim to no chances of this actually happening, but does anyone know if it can, or if Jick made it impossible? --Albino Toad 03:37, 27 November 2011 (CET)

• After a few failed searches, I found that my pal's played Silent Hill 7, so yes it can.--ArgghFW 19:28, 27 November 2011 (CET)

Adages

Should we attempt to pair up the parts which are supposed to go together? I understand that it usually doesn't happen in-game, but there is precedent for us making the matches as was done for Daffy Taffy messages. --timrem 11:05, 27 November 2011 (CET)
