I wondered why Lily said in the host game the other day "watch the calendar for the next photo day!" when a random VMK'er asked for a picture with her.
While those of us adults might not find this photos with hosts thing all that great, some of the newer players and younger generation will be ecstatic.
There used to be events where you sat in the room for 5 minutes and discussed whatever you wanted with the host, including taking photos, and when you all exited you still got the host pin or whatever (blue rocker, cough).
While the photo thing isn't something I really care about, I don't feel like I need 30 of the host pin either to feel I'm getting a fair shake. I'm fine with a couple here and there...
In other words, if the host game/event isn't something I'm into every night, no big deal. The host pins are becoming worthless anyway by the end of every month.
