Hi there! Welcome to an NK blog post. I won't be around to put one of these up for the next two weeks so make sure your questions (that you'll leave in the comments) are especially good. Due to me being tremendously sick this week and there not being much in the way of updates (or the update isn't out for all platforms) we'll go straight to the winners of the Haiku competition. Woo!
Haiku Competition!
We had many great entries but I have whittled them down to my top 5. In no particular order, here are the winners of the Haiku competition:
NemomonNemo
In dark, cold forest
Angry squirrel ambuscade
Fireflies light a lake
SUPERETHAN2
It is time for war
The horrible bloons are here
we must stop them now
Squideer
Under a full moon,
A single bloon floats silent,
Now is when I strike.
Awesomefaceninja7
Ships with big mean guns
Defeating Blackwater foes
Now where's the fortress?
Kevin Malone
What does the bloon say?
pop-pop-pop-pop pop-pop-CLINK
clink-clink-GAME OVER
Congratulations everyone! (but really just those 5). They'll find 10 Nantonium strongboxes waiting to be assigned when they load up SAS4.
Questions from the Comments:
Any news on changes to Honor/MvM for BMC web?
Nope, nothing happening yet unfortunately.
Why was Ink Blot removed from Battles mobile?
I'm told it has an abnormally high skip rate and is generally disliked by many people. The size of mobile apps is something we have to constantly juggle, so removing it is helpful for that.
Will Mastery Mode be coming to Flash?
It's too early to know.
Can Rohan do a blog?
I'll allow it, if he wants to.
Will there be any contests for Alloy or Bloonstones?
Contests from the blog? Could be, I don't really plan the prizes ahead of time.
How much candy did you collect, Aaron?
2 small bags of M&Ms and a mini Crunchie Bar. A pretty good haul for not going Trick-or-Treating.
Will there be more ways to earn Monkey Knowledge Packs in BMC Mobile?
Yep. Getting the balance right takes a while but we'll keep adding/tweaking until we're happy with the rate players can find them.
Can you subscribe to this newsletter?
As in get notified when the blog goes up? That would be much too serious I think.
What was the update you like most this year?
Beacons/Bosses in Bloons Monkey City.
Thanks for reading! Leave your questions below, have fun, be good and I'll see you in a few weeks!
Aaron
So Aaron, what will you guys do to Ninja Kiwi when it came to it's 10th Anniversary?
Do you have a youtube channel?
Damn I missed that Haiku Challenge. And Haiku's are my specialty. Ah well gotta keep the comp fair. The Elite Squad, warriors are they some say they moonlightin' stealing prized medals at nightime on the midnight clock's dime they set the pedals to the metals.
Will there ever be an SAS4 in real life video?
What's the next update on Fortress Destroyer?
Dang. I wish I was in time for the haiku contest. I would have done Red RIA gun... Why are you shooting rockets? What the heck is wrong?
Will there be a single player option for nightmare mode in sas4
Will this comment be featured on your next blog post?
Does this count as a good question?
Could you please look into the crafting prices in SAS4? Some of them, especially the shotlight gloves, are really messed up.
