I would like to introduce our new writer: gparker! Thanks to another writer helping me out with the site! Hallelujah!
Recently, Roblox has discovered a virus script known as an Anti-Lag script. Now, everyone knows that those Anti-Lag scripts don’t work, but they were just automatically put in our models, bricks and scripts. Dued1 (creator of the Anti-Lag script) decided to play around with the scripts. But his tinkering turned out to be for a bad reason.
In the result, after a certain amount of time, messages start saying things like “SPAM SPAM SPAM”, “Destruction to Roblox”, and more. This screws up the game and you have to probably use task manager or exit quickly to get out of the game.
So how can you get rid of these? There are scripts out there that are used to get rid of these messages and the scripts. In the Roblox catalog search for “Anti-Lag script remover, “infection script remover,” or something similar. Afterward, PUT THESE IN ALL MODELS THAT ARE INFECTED! It does not work if you just put it in your game and just leave it there.

A big congratulations goes for our new reviewer, lilemojamie! Without him, I am too lazy to go into a place to review it (plus now I’m getting too famous to go undercover). We all love you lilemojamie!
The Overview
Fishing Tycoon has been on the front page for days, and is getting more and more favorites by the second. You start out on either of three teams; green, yellow, and red. Around 4 people are on each team, each with their own boat. The object is to build up your boat, add more team members, and, of course, earn money.
Problems
But an obvious problem is that it looks boring from the start! It takes about 10 minutes to get enough money to buy a single upgrade, and that’s only crew members! As the game goes on, it gets more and more boring. Most of the fun is just talking.
Advantages
Even with the boringness (I don’t even know if that’s a word), many people who play rate it highly. When lilemojamie asked for opinions, most people rated it 5-10/10, and one even rated it 10/10! Why is this so? Once you get past the boring beggining, it’s a pretty decent game.
Final Opinion
What do we have to say about this game?
Gameplay 3/10 Boring start lowers game
Scripting 7/10 Any tycoon has good scripting, right?
Building 6/10 Somewhat attractive: not totally
Overall 5/10 Average Place. Need some work though.
Player Type: Anyone who’s patient!

I’m starting this post to inform you first off of ROBLOX National offically being back online! We had some technical issues that had to be addressed to promptly.
So now onto the gravy. As most of you (well hopefully all of you) have noticed, ROBLOX has gotten a new theme! Instead of a boring old white background, it has been mixed up and turned into a nice shade of blue. This helps the site’s feel and look, which can potentially bring in more users. And best yet, it reminds you of the sky, which reminds you of outside, and (hopefully) reminds you to go outside a fews hours a day. Not bad, eh?
Also, the front page is ALOT less cluttered and more orderly, with a few new perks here and there. A “Featured Game” widget has been added to the front page, no doubt due the the many complaints to get, as some users state, good games onto the front page. There is a neat little fact icon on the side of the front page, with fun facts about ROBLOX. Who knew that the average bid for a user-run banner ad is 1887 tickets?
One noticable improvment is to ROBLOX Studio and games. When you go into either of these programs, the screen is greatly shrinked. Although this helps extend your view, it can have you straining your eyes alot.
So whether you think this was a good update or not, you can agrre that it was big! I hope mixing in a little humor helps to convince you to read more.

A big mix-up occurred yesterday with the “Trade Currency” feature on ROBLOX. Starting around 9:30ET, so many people were trading that the server couldn’t handle it. It took almost 10 minutes for a transaction to take place!
But even with this slow down, users still started trading more. Finally, the server just couldn’t take it. The whole system broke down, and users who attempted to trade lost there trade money without getting any back. The administrators had to work extra hours to get it fixed, and now the roblEX is working fine.
Many people were complaining about lost money, but the administators assured these people that they would get a refund.
It just goes to show you: if you ever start your own website, make sure the servers can handle it.

Most of the users have discovered a new and exciting release: Faces! That’s right! Now you can not only customize your head, but add a face that matches. These faces range from the very expensive Vampire to the nice and cheap Chill.
Like heads, these faces are only sold in ROBUX, so you have to gather alot of tix to trade for a decent one. But trust me, they’re worth it.
:)

Night Vision Goggles
I was looking at Gamer3D’s games when I noticed the last game. The title was “Dark Plateau”. The description said this-
“If this works out and I finish this, people may be able to get the night-vision goggles. I’ve sent a message to the admins about this. Now we see if this venture will work.”
Now this was getting interesting. It turned out to already be getting discussed on the forums. I’ve started an investigation on the matter (You know how we the media are) and will be back with an update soon. But really, the only thing to do now is to wait and ponder.

Heads
In a recent update the administrators have released heads, so you can now customize the head that is right for you. There are already many choices both cheap and expensive to choose from, the most expensive costing around $2,000R. Because all the heads cost in Robux, you might have to use the trading system to get a head. But not to worry, there are already many eager traders out there waiting for a trader like you.

I’m sorry for not writing in a while: I have been busy with things.
———————————————————————
A few days ago the administrators introduced ROtris, which is based on the common game tetris. If you score 100 points, you can earn hats depending on the difficulty. Below are the hats you can earn.
Rusty Tetramino- Earn 100 points on Easy
Rusty Tetramino Hat
Silver Tetramino- Earn 100 points on medium
Silver Tetramino Hat
Gold Tetramino- Earn 100 points on hard
Gold Tetramino Hat
Bluesteel Egghead of Genius- Earn 150 points on hard
Bluesteel Egghead hat
impossible egg of genius- Believed to be earned if you got 5 rows cleared in one level. Only could work when a glitch in the game caused a 5 brick block to be made.

As you can see, there are many hats that can be earned, and many people are up to the challenge! Do you want the hats but can’t seem to get them? Pm Quint1997!
