Every regular Robloxian has by now noticed the ubiquitous “Report Abuse†button. As of this week it has crept into the game itself in the guise of a rather surprised looking yellow smiley.
“Report Abuse!!!”

Reports From Robloxia
Last week the Roblox team decided we would like to experiment with a “Reports From Robloxia” column written directly by our players for the Roblog. I solicited articles from a few of Robloxia’s finest builders and brick warriors, offering them the chance to write about whatever they like. Koopa was the first person to get back to me with an article. Koopa is a winner of our recent Homestead Contest, an expert builder, and one of only three Robloxians with a 4:1 KO/WO ratio.

What a fatuous thing to say. When it comes to motivational sentiments about teams, I prefer the following:
Bloxxers Who Roxor
More interesting factoids, mined from the Roblox database. I am working on a set of additional badges for a future release. New badges fall into one of two categories: they are either entirely unlike any existing badge, or they are “higher level” versions of existing badges. Designing good badges is tricky. If a badge is too easy to get, it is pointless. If a badge is impossible to get, it is pointless. A badge that is challenging to get is fun.
One “higher level” badge I am thinking of making is a more difficult to get version of the Bloxxer badge. At the moment, 64 Robloxians have bloxxers. Using my January 8 post as a reference point, one can say that about 1.3 users earn Bloxxers every day on Roblox. Roughly 2% of all Robloxians have Bloxxers. This means they are already pretty hard to get. Whether or not it is worthwhile to make a badge that less than 2% of Robloxians will ever earn is a point of debate. However, after looking at the data below, I propose a badge with the following requirements:

This Old House
Soon all new Roblox users will start with a house instead of a cruddy 32×32 baseplate with only a table and a bed on it. The first time they visit their new place, they will see something like the image above. An empty house, teeming with possibilities. Thanks to the 9 players who participated in our little building contest, new players will have a choice of 46 items of furniture to place in their dwelling from the Toolbox. Of course, everyone playing now benefits too. Check out the new Furniture catagory in the toolbox the next time you need stuff to put in your house.
