Achoo! Achoo! Sometimes around Whyville you see people with large spots on their faces. They are constantly saying, "Achoo!" before each word. You should stay well away from them... Or should you?

Thankfully, the worst of WhyPox has departed our lovely town, but you can still see some fellow citizens wondering around with the terrible disease. You'll be all right if you have already had it (for now) but for those who are new to Whyville, here are some helpful tips...

1) You're new. You don't know your way around and you have to read instructions before playing games. Aww, man! You have to wait 5 whole days before you can chat! (That's good, though. Use this time to check out the games and see how well you can do them on your own.)

Before you start making your face, look around Whyville until you find someone with WhyPox. When you have found that person, walk on them. (To click on them without the blue square, hold alt then click their face). Doing this will give you the disease. (Editor's Note: Or will it? Did you test this, Nessie12? So far, Whyville citizens who have investigated the Pox thoroughly can't prove that touching someone with the disease affects whether you'll get the Pox or not!)

2) You are thinking right now, "I don't want WhyPox!!" but trust me, this will work. Once you have walked on their head, you will have WhyPox. The spots and sneezes don't come until the next day. By then, you will only have to wait 4 days until you can chat. (Still good.) So, you'll be sneezing and you'll have little pink spots on your face.

The reason I'm giving you WhyPox is so that the worst will be over before you can even chat! When you can chat then, you won't be saying "Achoo" every two seconds when you are trying to say something.

3) As the days go by, your spots will get larger and redder. You will be sneezing more often, too.

Once you have reached the extreme point, it's all a smooth sail from there! Once your WhyPox are gone, you cannot get them again (for now).

If you follow these instructions, even before you are allowed to chat, your WhyPox will have disappeared!!

4) Congratulations! You survived WhyPox, and now you can chat with no bother!!

I really hope you found those tips helpful. This is Nessie12, signing off.
