I'm quoting Snowyclaw's blog.
Jamaasian Movement Begins
Requirement - first read the History of Jamaa.
"I know you were all hoping for something big, something Jamaa-changing, but we all need to face the facts. Animal Jam is run by adults. We are kids. What could we possibly do?
All I know is that I didn't join Jamaa for the rares or the games. I
joined it to find friends from around the world and learn more about the
earth from an inspirational game. As corny as that sounds, it's true. I
love Jamaa because of the
imagination and creativity behind it. It is something more than a game. . .
Perhaps it started with Graham the monkey shaman. It all began then I
suppose. I never realized how fun it would be to meet a shaman, and how I
felt like I was becoming part of a story. None of my rares mattered at that moment. I just wish everyone else could feel the same. Things would be better. . .
Enough with my talk, now for the evidence! Here are some problems I've
seen. Shamans are no longer being named. Mira, Zios, and the phantoms no
longer appear in the Jamaa Journal (except for gift giving symbols and
glitch excuses that is). Humanity is invading Jamaa - the cruise ship - Crystal Sands water slides. . . It's simply getting ridiculous.
If we want to make a difference we need to act together. I don't
just mean all of you or this blog. We're pretty small in Jamaa. I mean
every blog, every jammer, every single one you can find. If the word
goes wide, we may have a chance. I'm sure many of you own blogs, or read
other ones. Could you post this, or tell about this? No need to link my
blog if you don't want you readers to come here. Just simply state the
name and goal of our movement. Then we may have the chance. . . to
change Jamaa.
Tell your buddies. Tell jammers who care about Jamaa. Tell jammers who
don't know anything about it at all. If we are a united group
AJHQ will have to hear us. None of this is possible without your active help, you must want to change Jamaa.
This next week is to prepare for our first act. Our current task is to
spread the word.
Tell a random jammer you meet. Tell your friends. Tell your your blog
readers. But the real question is this - what are we going to do? What
do you want to do? Tell me your ideas and remember, we must take baby
steps. Little changes. If we give it our best we may just change the
world.
There are some of you that will ignore this post, won't spread the word,
and don't really care. That's alright. It makes a difference just
knowing
about what Jamaa is missing. For everyone else, we must fight. For when
we leave Jamaa we need to be ready for the outside world. It's a big
place, and it needs change to move towards a better future. Why not
start now?
¡!¡ Jamaasians for Jamaa !¡!"
Hey jammers. As you all know, the history of Jamaa is falling apart. It
seems very few know about it anymore. We are the ones responsible for
keeping it together. We need to remind everyone. We need to spread
our knowledge to others. . . Otherwise the culture of Jamaa
will truly die.
With this movement I'm not suggesting that we protest against all
things modern, I'm just hoping we can create a balance between the new
and the old. However, I need help with our goals. What small thing could
we change? I need ideas. . . This movement isn't for just me, it's for
all of us.
Animal Jam is, and always will be, human. Animals don't wear clothes, or
have houses, I get that. I simply love the culture that it used to
express. The clothing made out of nature. Masks with feathers instead of
sun visors, leg items with leaves instead of flip flops. But really,
all I want is a balance, how about you all? It matters more what you
think.
If you don't agree with this movement, or don't really care, you really
don't have to join in. I only thought many jammers cared about this.
I've talked about it with so many it seemed like we all were thinking
along the same lines
My sister was doing something interesting the other day. She was lying
by Mira, and every time a jammer came up she asked "Do you know who this
statue is of?" She would then go on with telling that jammer about Jamaa's history.
She did it for fun, and it was just random. What if we all did that?
Just once and a while, when you have the time, tell the story of Jamaa.
It's actually pretty fun, and you'd be surprised with some jammer's
reactions. Perhaps you can think about trying it this week.
Thanks jammers, I'm really happy you feel the same about the movement. As a side note, I think Leafpool really captured what inspired me to start the jamaasian movement. Thank you. :)

So, how's the Movement working out for Snowyclaw's friends?
