Hi there all, my family (three of us) play on the one account. Been playing since November/start of December and got to the point where we were just trying to get gold-farming monsters like entbrat so we could afford decorations.

About 2 weeks ago we decided to really start worki g on island designs and layouts, there's a few good things that youd notice from a good to great island...

1. An island that is stacked with a lot of monsters:

Maybe at least 1 of each type available, or multiples of a few that are differing levels for different sizes (4,10 and 15); or maybe as many level 15's that can be crammed in.

2. Symmetry and balance:

It doesn't really matter what decorations you choose, all of them can be used to great effect. So many different combinations are available. Expensive items can sometimes look a little ugly (the bottomless pitt is under a million bucks, but takes 12 grid spots), but if you want a monster to be 100% happy you'll either need to buy an expensive, space-taking item or let them go without.

3. Originality/uniqueness:

This is a fun and challenging part of MSM! How do you decorate and populate an island in such a way that you luv and is different to others? And how can you tinker with the song to make it sound really cool. They say that sometimes less is more, and lately i personally have been enjoying muting monsters so that drumpler's snare can be heard. And theres always the warp function.

If you ever come across a user called PUNCTDAN, check out their islands, they are stacked, have full songs and are loaded with level 15 normal up to ethereals, legendary monsters.

Here's some pics of our islands, although they can be 'filled' with more stuff, we are pretty proud of their originality and coolness....

1...



So the main cool idea is the text, pretty kool huh? Also, them Yools have cool afro's huh? More stuff to add in the future

2...



This one is pretty cool in our unbiased (!) opinion. Its inspired by the Nazca Lines in Peru, there's also room left for another Reebro in the blank area. Blue fire hair is a borrowed idea, and yeh, theres a bit more that can be filled in.

3...

Liking these stars, cant believe they worked out. Waiting on some Jeeodes now.

4...



Obviously its cool cos 2 humbugs are there. Used 300 or so diamonds yesterday breeding quarrister with clamble, speeding up blah blah and trying again, got 3 or 4 clambles (!) then THREE humbugs in a row.

Also, does that centre piece look like a fire pit to you? Hope so. Also, those bottom things are supposed to look like flames. A looooong time spent on this design.

So, we hope you dig our islands, we've been working terribly hard at it. And would you believe we have less than 5 likes on each island. We dunno how to change that.

Anyways if you can, our code is 6055305hj if you could spare a like. Thanks for reading this essay too lol.

Shoom bugga lah boom boom everyone! 6055305hj
