A bunch of us have put together a teleporter network to link our personal rooms together, and to provide a Dis Common Room to hang out in. All are welcome to join!
How to add a teleportation portal from your room to the Dis Teleporter Network
1) buy a coffin teleporter from the Golden Horseshoe Mercantile, OR win a free pink Monster's Inc. Teleporter from the online game
2) place ONE of the pair of teleporters in your own room
3) trade the OTHER teleporter to the OWNER of a Lobby Room.
Currently:
- JeanJoe aka Bezoar
- Pumpkinfish aka MissBelle
- WebmasterAlex aka disalex
- Astryd (as herself)
Easiest way to find one of these people: post here in this thread AND PM one of us, to try to set up a time to meet on VMK. Remember, we do not hang out on VMK all day long just hoping that someone will want a teleporter placed -- it might be a while before you actually find one of us!
4) the Lobby Room owner will place the OTHER teleporter that you traded
5) if you want your teleporter back, just ask
IMPORTANT: only get the coffin teleporters or the Monster's Inc. Door teleporters, because they take up less space
How to get to the Dis Special Rooms
- use the coffin/door teleporter in your room to transport to one of the Dis Teleporter Lobbies (there are currently four)
- then use the teacup teleporter to get to the Central Lobby (the hub)
- then use the Stitch teleporter to reach the Dis Special Rooms Lobby

OK, now for the painful details of how it all works, from my original thoughts:
Shared room / teleportation room network
Goal: as much as possible, to share a common room, even when that room's owner is not logged in
Method:
- one lobby room, which has a teleporter linking to a teleporter in the common room
- multiple players who each have 1 teleporter in their own room and 1 teleporter in the lobby room
- what this allows: even when the lobby room owner and/or common room owner are NOT logged in, someone who has a teleporter in their own room can get to the lobby, and then get to the common room
- when we want to change the common room, we can just move the single teleporter in the common room into a new common room; the rest of the network stays intact
Style:
- to cram as many personal room teleporters in the lobby room as possible, people should purchase coffin teleporters because they take up less space, and because then it will be clear that coffins transport to personal rooms and not to common rooms
- the lobby room teleporter into the common room is currently a tea cup, so it will stand out
- if we need more common rooms in the future, we could use the other non-coffin teleporters to link to additional common rooms
- if we need more lobby space for more personal teleporters, we could create more lobby rooms, and then link together the lobby rooms. Perhaps each lobby room could link to a different common room.
Caveats:
- if you provide a teleportation link from your room to the lobby, people will be able to backtrack into your room. If you don't want people to wander around in your room, rope off around the teleporter
- if you rope off the "normal" entrance to the COMMON room (not around the teleportation tea cup), and no one is in the lobby, it will be tedious to let people who don't have a personal lobby teleportation portal into the common room, because when they "go to" you, they will end up behind the ropes
- perhaps the common room should not be roped off, but that means lots of random people will drop in; this could be set depending on the common room owner's preference?
Sorry about that. I'll be using Monsters, Inc. doors, ok?
I got my door to the teleport net work. Thanks, Jean Joe!
