As for the mules and fake email addys issue, my husband was unable to sign up for VMK because someone already signed up with his email addy! We're pondering the ethics of using "I lost my password" to get the character back. So, be warned of the possible unintended side-effect of mules based on emails you don't own.

If that is the case, you won't be able to use that email in "New Players, Register Here", however you can go ahead and put it into the "Existing Players" side, and it will prompt you to create a VMK character when you enter. If he may have signed up previously, then you can either use the forgotten password on VMK, or if you go to the main Disney site, there are some other options for retrieving passwords.
I would say that it is unlikely (but possible) that someone has used his email address as a VMK mule account.
I use a very easy method for my mules. I have a sequential naming scheme for my mule email addresses. I use the same name and birthday for all of them and I do track them with a MS Word document too. So as an example if I need a new mule, I would sign up as "Jimmy Joe Smith"(just an example), Birthday "1-1-66"(another example), Email "mule_account_7@email.com"(yet again, another example - and of course the number increases by 1 as I continue to add mules). Then I add this account to my tracking document. I also include in my document the character name when it gets approved, how many credits it has, how many pirates games I have played (until it wins the magic pin) Then I mark that it has won the pin and traded it to my main account, and when I win the fireworks pin, I note that and note when I trade it to my main account also.Major.Nelson said:Everybody is using all this technical lingo and i dont understand a word!
