As many of you may or may not no my prized and most charished room is my tree of life. That room has been my outmost favorite room eversince it started out in the brair patch tree. I believe i built it around november or december. About a month or so ago i moved my beloved tree of life to the animal kingdom safari room where it always should have been. It truly looked and still looks amazing. Today I got on vmk for a few minutes to find on the popular guest room "virtual tree of life" i think well ok maybe it is not the same. Boy was i wrong! I walked in there to find that this girl lets call her willowweeper ( this is not her real title) well she had made a smaller replica of MY yes i repeat MY tree of life surounding the tree with different chairs. Now even the discription was very similar stating that the room was a virtual attraction from the real WDW park.. which is stated in my description. I kindly ask her to trade and in the trade i tell her i have had a room just like this for a long while and wanted to know where she got her idea. ( not to mention this girl did look familar from when i did have alot people in my room in the past) Anyways, confronting the girl resulted in me getting the ol' boot! So what im asking is if you find "virtual tree of life" on the room list please walk in there and ask her where she may have found her idea? I am almost positive she copied me. If she does get best guest room i think i could and very well would quit vmk because it truly is not fair if others get credit for work that others put such hard work and dedication into. Please help me stop this imagination crusher.. (also you may say well what if she did not copy you? well she could have told me in plain english that she did not copy me, yet instead she decided to boot me.. that in itself makes the answer pretty clear to me.) Thanks again to all who cared enough to even read this long rant i guess you could call it.

a trusted friend from dis took my idea and won best game room last time and i'm still here ain't i?
 
i guess i should have explained a little more about myself on vmk. Well for starters i am very sorry to here that. Ok about me: I started vmk in august of last year and created coolshannie, a few months later i transfered over to princessshannie. Only a few months after playing on princessshannie i find that i have been hacked and can no longer access that account and since i did not use a real email address there was no way for me to get the account of the stuff back that the hacker has stolen. The only reason i know i was hacked was my 5 year old brother wittnessed it but he is 5 and he really had no idea what to do. So i created princessshanie and have had my tree of life since december and i can't take the fact that someone else is going to stab me in the back even if i dont know them. I guess I probably wouldn't quit, but possibly think before i try and win best guest room again. By the looks of it its seems that you know Naneor ( sorry if i spelt it wrong) that having your work stolen really hurts especially when it comes from your mind not someone elses.
 
I really understand how you feel. I felt that way when I made an Everest Volcano room the day before the Ride-A-Thon, and then I go ride and find an Everest Volcano. I'm just happy it was horribly made and looked as if it were guessing how my room looked when looking at my room title.
 

so far no sign of virtual tree of life although i did see the room later on in the evening. If you could all keep your eyes open during the evening thast would be so nice of you :) I don't even know if i will be able to get back on in the evening because i have final exams tomorrow and so i have to study study study!
 
Sometimes, what really hurts is when a person thought of a game/room idea, and another person comes stomping in and says, "Hey, you copied my game/room!!" when the owner of the game/room they just made had no idea that the other person had the same room. Instead of yelling at the owner of this so-called "copy", ask them about their game/room and the people who are honest will say it is a copy, or not. If they say they didn't copy, don't think they are lying. They usually have never seen your room and thought of the same idea.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!
 
Everyone that tries to make a good guest/game room have the possibility of being copied. It's just something we must deal with. There are no rules against it and nothing really can be done. It's happen to me before and, yes, I wanted so badly to harass them into finding out if they copied you, but it's not worth it. Just keep your room open and hope that VMK staff sees what an effort you put into it and you win!
 
Hey,

If someone copies you, be honored that they would take the time to make something like yours. As they say: Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
