My staff game story

[Ravensdark99]

Well,

when staff game started it was 11:30 pm here in Germany. So it was rather late.
It all started with me staying in line for the wrong room, because some idiot opened a room called exactely the same as the staff room.

That was the 1st try.

With my 2nd try I came to place 85 in line then I got dc.

3rd try I actually came in the room, moved a meter and got dc.

4th try I got up to 2nd place in the line in the actual room, but people in front of me started a conversation until I got dc. (it was about 12:30 then).

Then finally an hour later I got into the room again (1:30) and VMK told me that I should have a wonderful night because the game was over.


Well I guess sarcasm still works over there. Well what to say I´m tired, and quite a bit frustrated, but I know I´m not unique The only difference is I didn´t get any sleep in contrary to other people who have had problems with VMK staff games

That would have been frustrating for me also! I gave up after one try, gesh I don't think I could have taken it if I tried that many times only to hear staff say it was over!! . You'll get in next time .

I feel your pain on this one. I waited in line a total of five times last night. The first time, I disconnected at the #2 spot. The other four times, I was next in line to spin when I disconnected.

Other than the very very few games that give anything more special than 100 credits, is it really worth waiting and going through that? What are they giving away that makes everybody wait?

It's the hope of that elusive inferno pin! Although the odds of winning it are very small, some folks have managed to do it - and somehow do it more than once by the looks of it. Or maybe they got their multiple infernos some other way?

I saw someone with multiple Grand Calif pins and they said they got them all in staff rooms. I want to know the secret of how they don't dc just as the staff opens a trade window! lol

I've about given up on Staff games Several times over the weekend I tried and was disconnected just as it was my turn. I would love to have a Grand Cali pin or purple doors, but not with all the aggrivation there is just trying to even *get* to play a game.

Oh well, maybe I'll be able to trade for these things at some point.

Really, the only thing I feel that is under our control about the dc thing is that if I find a staff game I want to enter, I log off vmk then log on again and go immediately to join the line for that game. That way, my character is the "freshest" I can possibly be and then I leave it to fate if I get in the game or not. Even with this strategy, I've dc'd a lot, but most time I do tend to be able to play the game, given that the line isn't a gazillion long to begin with. Who knows how long the time-out limit will be each time -- 30 minutes, 45 minutes, sometimes longer. Some staff games run faster than others too. I will stand in line for a staff game that may give a great prize -- like inferno, or purple doors, or trade for pins -- before I'll stand in line for a staff game that just gives credits.

That's really sad to hear Why do people get dc? I don't know. I'm so sorry
