Introducing: THE SECRET SHOP! Plus yet another BADGE DROP!
by eli
Summer Game 2012 just KEEPS GETTING BETTER! And today, we're proud to announce the opening of the AADL SUMMER GAME SECRET SHOP! Where is the SECRET SHOP? What is the SECRET SHOP? Well, it's a SECRET! But maybe this riddle will help you find where the SECRET SHOP is hidden in the AADL catalog:
Tuberculosis shares abbreviation,
and colorful pictures, like stuck animation.
M-angelo's tallest, plus one who's from Rome,
Seagoing high schoolers are found in this tome.
UPDATE: The Secret Shop has MOVED! It was in Teen Boat! by Dave Roman.
Each Friday at 6 PM for the rest of the Summer Game, a New SECRET SHOP will open. It includes very special, RARE, and highly VALUABLE items you can't find in the plain old shop! But you have to work for it! You'll need both SUMMER GAME POINTS and SECRET SHOP TOKENS to buy things from the secret shop. BUT HOW DO I GET SECRET SHOP TOKENS? Well, right now, there are 4 ways:
* Anyone who finds the Secret Shop will receive a code good for 1 Secret Shop Token.
* If you complete the ultra-hard Treasure Quest, you'll receive 1 Secret Shop Token.
* When you reach Level 5 and Level 10 in Points-O-matic Helpful Reviews Mode, you'll receive 1 Secret Shop Token.
* When you reach Level 5 and Level 10 in Points-O-matic Photomic Describorator Mode, you'll receive 1 Secret Shop Token.
* When you reach Levels 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 in Points-O-matic Textulating Recognizorator Mode, you'll receive 1 Secret Shop Token.
And more yet to come! Rest assured, the Secret Shop has many local goodies and special items yet to come each week, so SEARCH AND YE SHALL FIND untold treasures of Awesomeness!
And now, this week's BADGE DROP!

The formatting got messed up when you edited for the additional text. you might want to fix that. (Also, you gave me heart failure for a second...the post was showing as blank on reload and I panicked a bit about not being able to see the riddle poem.)

How can the Game for sale
How can the Game for sale have -1 in stock? What does that mean?
I didn't actually have that
I didn't actually have that hard a time finding the shop once I got a keyword. (Sorting by age group is a very useful thing.)
I think it means two orders
I think it means two orders were entered nearly simultaneously. That's going to frustrate one of them!

Does anyone have any advice
Does anyone have any advice for the first code of the Fish badge? I got the last three codes, but the first one is eluding me. I found the name of the fish and its nickname on the internet, but neither of those led me to the first code (although one did lead me to the second code). Am I missing something obvious here?
Try again without the color

So it says "Anyone who finds the Secret Shop will receive a code good for 1 Secret Shop Token"...
How do we get the code for the secret shop token? It seems like secret shop items are selling out quickly & I don't want to miss out on one of the prizes in particular.!!! I'm a long way from getting any of the other secret shop tokens...
HELP!
EDIT: Never mind, I am dumb & didn't read the title! Whoops!
I'm glad you figured it out

Yeah, that happened to me

I feel so negative after
I feel so negative after spending time on the Points-o-Matic helpful reviewer mode!
Also, I would love a library
Also, I would love a library materials jukebox...sometimes I use the points-o-matic just to get knowledge of random materials I might not have known to look for. Having a similar page on the main site for people looking for something to read, listen to, or watch just make random or maybe not so random suggestions might be interesting. Maybe start with a form that indicates whether the patron is looking for a book, an audiobook, a CD, a movie (DVD or Blue Ray...format matters for many) and serve up a random selection?
The only thing I don't like about using the web for library materials is that the serendipity of finding something wonderful and unexpected that can happen to the browsing patron is much more difficult to come by. That's one of my favorite things about the library summer game catalog quests: that I find out about materials I might never have known to look for.
Agree with this
Agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm not actually that much of a browser, but lots of people are. Since many are spending more time online and less in the physical library, it would be wonderful to have a "random book" (or other media) button. Do we already have a list of librarian suggested/recommended materials?
@cherylo...well said! I
@cherylo...well said! I totally agree!
Is the shop sold out? I'm
Is the shop sold out? I'm just wondering, since i don't want to go on a wild goose chase, because doesn't the shop disappear after it is sold out?
:edit: I found it, and some things are still in stock.
The Secret Shop is not sold
The Secret Shop is not sold out, but a few of the individual items are sold out, tree64.
Can anyone help with the Old
Can anyone help with the Old Newshound badge by letting me know if I'm on the right track? I think I have figured out the clues but can't figure out the game code. I'll try not to give away too much with my questions :) Is the remedy all 4 words, starting with "The", or 3 words? And is the name just the last name, or "& sons"? I think I have the right pieces, but I've tried different combinations of the words and I can't figure out the game code. Thanks!

I can't figure out the fourth code for the transformers badge.
Is the 6th code for This
Is the 6th code for This Badge is Kicking My Asana still on the item? I found an item that seems like exactly what the previous code, and the hint, describe, but it has no code. I also looked at every title for yoga to find one that might seem like a joke, or be for people who can't touch their toes (prenatal yoga, and back pain) and could not find it.
In looking back on that
In looking back on that particular clue, it is more vague than some of the others given, and there were other materials I could have used, such as the DVD Yoga for Inflexible People (which is a pretty good yoga DVD, btw). However, the actual item is there, in the catalog, and the code is on it. One additional hint is that you are looking for something opposite to previous item (the one you get the clue from). Look especially at the code for that item, and think what might be the opposite of the type of people it mentions.
cherylo: Thanks so much, I
cherylo:
Thanks so much, I finally got it! I think my original search may have been narrowed to yoga in some other way, rather than using the keyword. I might be dreaming about yoga tonight (hopefully I do well, instead of falling down over and over).

FINALLY found the Secret
FINALLY found the Secret Shop! I was offline most of the weekend doing things so not much left to choose from, but finally found it at any rate. What was left is something I'm interested in anyway, so it's all good. :) That's what I get for trying to actually be productive on my weekend off. ;) Perhaps I should write a note to myself for this Friday to NOT plan on anything in the evening so I can go searching earlier than I did this time around. Heh.
Now... the badges.

Mtuplin, if you mean the secret shop, I don't believe it will. Some items in the regular summer game shop may be restocked. I note that the messenger bags specifically say they are <em>temporarily</em> out of stock, implying strongly that they will be restocked.
But there will be a new secret shop this coming Friday with new items from all indications, so maybe being ready for that one will serve.
I found it too late! One item

Is there a reason that the points-o-matic pages keep saying "Sorry, no points awarded because this submission is out of date, please try again"? I like to switch between the different points-o-matic things because, frankly, it gets boring and mind-numbing doing the same thing over and over again. But now, whenever I switch, I get this message. Is this some annoying glitch or a permanent change?
SBNB, I had to put that
SBNB,
I had to put that change in because people were abusing the system, submitting multiple points-o-matic forms at the same time to rack up points and get multiple badge bonuses. You now can only have one copy of points-o-matic open at a time and still get points for it. If you see that message, it means you have tried to submit a points-o-matic feedback form that isn't the latest one for your player.

@cchaffee: Give me one or two specifically and I'll see if I can't help (just name the keys, you don't have to copy/paste the riddles - I'll find 'em). :) I am doing heavy duty cleaning this weekend and won't be on much during the day but will check in during the evening. :)

Bookbird, Some of the badges
Bookbird,
Some of the badges intermediate steps mention extra bonus codes, like a side quest. In some of those cases at least, they seem to be reduced by 1 for each player who found it before you, like the Treasure Quest points were. There is one on the Weird Al themed badge (2nd in Weird series). I know of a few others, and there is a bonus on one of my two badge designs as well.

That's true, but mostly think of it as a behind the scenes shop that's only availible to hard working players (who have to wake up at 6am *cough*) who solve a riddle at 6pm every Friday to find a whole shop full of non library related items from cool people. :D
A shop that has cool stuff
A shop that has cool stuff that (miraculously) don't have an AADL logo cuz almost all cool things have AADL logos on them.
True dat... Because the AADL

why are we still commenting if we won't get points? I know, because it's nice conversation....
how about we leave these posts alone until SG2013? Let's suggest a topic for every post to comment on next year. Ex: Fav series
I will Copy Paste this comment to all the other posts too, just so you know. :)
Well, I do like the Apple
Well, I do like the Apple logo. It's an apple (obviously) with a piece missing. I think it's a good apple cuz a piece is missing so someone must have ate part of it. I'll tell you the rest of what my theories about Apple are when school starts.
I like the logo of a violin
I like the logo of a violin company called Psarianos.
I wish the secret shop was…
I wish the secret shop was still around. I know a code that can be used to earn one secret shop token, but I've never been able to enter it because I found it too late. Could it please be un-expired? The code is C********A**C******** (three words, number of missing letters indicated by the number of *).
Hi there, good on ya for…
Hi there, good on ya for finding this, but the Secret Shop has been permanently discontinued and Secret Shop Tokens are no longer offered. We realized our priority is to get items into the hands of as many people as possible, not make it a puzzle just to get stuff. Thanks for asking!
I've known the code for…
I've known the code for several years (I think I found it in 2013 or maybe 2012 after the summer game ended). Couldn't you unexpire the code without actually bringing back the secret shop, even though there would be no use for the single point from the code? Alternatively, secret shop tokens could be used in the regular shop...
So sorry, this isn't…
So sorry, this isn't happening.
