2006 SNEAK PEEK!
We've recieved lots of requests from people wondering what might be happening in the future of Club Penguin, so here's just a few items that are in the works:

- Lots of new games - A lot more happening with the puffles - More parties - Members-only areas - Accessories such as necklaces, shoes and more

Club Penguin is still growing, with more and more penguins that you can meet. Keep checking the newspaper for more information.

THE GIFT SHOP
You're in Club Penguin. A penguin walks by wearing a suede jacket, sunglasses, and an acoustic guitar, and ask yourself "Where'd that penguin get those awesome clothes?"

The Gift Shop, of course!

There are two gift shops in Club Penguin. One is in the main town, to the right of the Night Club. The other gift shop is the far right building at the ski hill.

At the moment, both gift shops sell the same stuff, but in the future, we've been told that the ski hill gift shop will start selling some slightly different items.

Like penguins, we waddle all over the town Like penguins we throw snowballs all over ground Like penguins we swim and catch fish by the dozen Like penguins we talk and laugh with our cousins Like penguins we go sledding, oh what a ride! But Like penguins we know, we are the same inside.

Although we may seem different with colours and such Although some wear clothes and others do not. Although some like jumpers and others like skirts Or others wear beannies and rainbow coloured shirts Although we are individual, and we all glow We are all the same inside, as you must know.

Duck tape is over-rated. Yes, way too populated. They should have it confiscated. Why not PENGUIN TAPE!? Sure sounds snappy!

IN OTHER NEWS...
Moderators are people who work to keep Club Penguin safe, but we've had reports of people pretending to be moderators. Here's everything you need to know about how to tell a real moderator from a fake one.

1. If someone claims to be a moderator, click on them to bring up their player card. If the player card has an M badge on it (see right), they're a real moderator. Otherwise, they are lying.

2. Click the blue tab on the top of the screen. This is called the "log", and shows everything said in that room. Moderators will always talk in red letters, while everyone else talks in black letters.

3. A moderator will NEVER ask you your password. In fact, never give your Club Penguin password out to anyone!

SECRETS
Club Penguin has lots of fun secrets to discover, and we've recieved literally hundreds of e-mails asking what some of those secrets are. So, we've started a Secrets section to tell you about some of the secrets in Club Penguin!

Secret of the week: Astro-Barrier
If you're a fan of Astro-Barrier, but don't know about the secret levels, this is the secret for you! Play through the first 10 levels of Astro-Barrier, and then wait for 25 seconds. A blue plane will appear on the left side of the screen. Shoot it to reveal 10 secret levels! (When you're done the secret levels, you're returned to level 16 of the normal game.)

Quote of the Week:
"To have a friend, you have to be a friend."
