Note to All: NEVER play Cute or Boot

[rosesredrosered]

Here is another famous Rose rant!

I used to play cute or boot a lot back when I was a newbie, but today I decided to try it again. Ok, well I decided to play a cute or boot game for the heck of it because the owner was giving away black ears. He didn't do anything wrong (except boot me for not trading him a bird hat ). It was just the girl I was playing against was KILLING me. She was totally bragging and, while I paid the owner for the hundreth time, she was saying " She's just mad because I am better than her." This just about made me want to slap that girl in the face. Another thing I notice is that when people wear rare they tend to win, even if they look completely terrible. I mean, this girl had blue hair for pete's sake! And also, she would say things like " I am wearing all red, she (referring to me) isn't." Gosh... It's people like these that make me seriously want to quit VMK. I will never play a cute or boot game again.

I know. I only play when I'm really bored. I got scammed a few times from this game.

 

[Dizzlicious_Dizney]

Oh! That's rude.
Have you tried using my old friend, the ignore button?
That will work a ton!

There are reasons I tell people not to play games like Falling Chairs, or
Cute or Boot:

Room owners rig the games to cheat, especially if it's "pay or boot".
Think about it. The owner has one friend (or a mule for that matter!)
to be the "winner". The goal for them is to try to get as many trusting
strangers in to play, thinking they have a shot at winning. They don't.

Maybe there are exceptions to this scenario. I'm curious to find out how
many players who have paid to stay in a game actually WIN it. I'd be
interested to see if anyone actually has.

I think the best games are those where the room owners do not ask you to
pay to play or stay. The spend their hard-earned credits on prizes, and their
efforts should be appreciated.

Another reason I never even step foot in a Cute or Boot room, it seems like one big scam to me if the owner is asking for rare if you are not "cute".

I don't play ANY game where owners allow people to "pay" an item. Most times the player gets booted right after paying the item. Lori also gives a good tip about the fact that many of these games are rigged where a friend or a mule wins the game every time, while the room owner loads up on all the items people kept paying them to try to stay in the game. The same happens in games like Falling Chairs.

Games like Cute or Boot are all subjective...you may look the best according to your own opinion, but the one deciding may have a completely different opinion. For me, seeing someone with blue hair doesn't make a person look terrible...hey, I walk around with pink skin. I love when characters have fun with their looks. So you see? It's all subjective.

Bottom line, stay away from any game that asks you to pay up or be booted. Chances are highly likely you'll be booted after paying anyway, and VMK will not recover the item for you.

I think cute or boot is degrading, kids live through that enough in real life, why make it worse on a virtual character.

Briar, my son HAS won quite a few games of falling chairs, and I finished up a game for dd once and won also, so there are some decent games out there for those who can't do the fireworks and such. I just don't recommend paying anything more than 50 credits worth to stay in the game.

ya one time when i was playing cute or boot and i won! so the owner traded me and when i clicked okay she didnt say anything in the trade chat thing. Then she exited and booted me right away before i could say anything..... i hate when people do that kind of stuff

Did you actually get your prize? If not, you can actually report that person because VMK has stated that if they say a prize will be given, they HAVE to give the prize.

Yes, we know and understand that it's rude, but we really don't need more threads about this. You're beating a horse that's been dead for 2 years.

Sorry, I just had to get it out somewhere.

 

[Lovela]

Okay..

I'm glad to hear that someone who played and paid actually won.
But I think that's the exception for many of these games.

 

[Clarity]

The pay to play games really annoy me.
With all the people paying to get in, the game is never ending. It usually goes on until the owner says that he or she has to get off.

 

[DisneyKrayzie]

I play the games sometimes but I will never pay to stay in the game. I have won a few times too without paying.

Agreed.


I only play VMK sponsored/hosted games.

 

[TravisSch]

I only play Falling Chairs when a HOST is hosting the event.

 

[mikeyandscoobyx2]

Just stay away from those games. They just cause trouble.

Dont worry alot of people brag on VMK..

That girl must have no life, picking on other people like that.

Same here but I don't pay if I lose, just in case they don't give you anything at the end. I'm pretty content with playing pirates the whole time I'm on VMK.
