This Is Odd? 100 People In A VMK Room?

[GoofyGeggy]

Off topic but its weird that there are so many people wearing Sorceress hats and those were only givin away last in 2005 was it?, and im surprised that so many people there would have them.

From what I have been told (through MrGenie) this was done right after they released the Sorcerer's Hat. As with any hat, that's the one most people wear for a while, then you don't see it as much.

As for the girl with the Green Flips/Baggy Pants/Staff Shirt - she's not staff. She doesn't have the ears. It was just an observation, that's all.

The green ears were not yet part of the staff costume at the time this took place. I do know that there were staff in some of the pictures players took of this room, but I don't remember which pics or who they were.

 

[dog:-)lover]

notice how so many ppl have rare hats?

 

[birdmom]

Thats cool I didn't know the gold ears were out during beta, for some reason I thought they came out last year for dieneys 50th

I have been doing some research on this and this did not happen during BETA.

Beta ended on June 26, 2005 and the skull rock room was not released until July 3, 2005 and the site did not start giving codes for the Skull Rock rooms that worked until much later around the 15th of July.

MrGenie Room Cramming happened on 8-10-2005.

The girl in the Front was Ms.Behave not a staff member.

MrGenie did not have prior approval for this expierment.

Actually it was an experiment conducted by MrGenie to see how many players could fit in the Skull Rock room...

Well not entirely true as it just happened to be a Skull Rock room that was used. At the time Mr.Genie was active and I was a mostly lurker on another VMK fansite. In looking at pictures of host rooms some noticed that there were 30+ players in line in a pregame queue room. This was a room with a queue line and a turnstile right in front of a teleporter that led to the actual game room. One of the staff members would teleport into the room, open the turnstile to let players through, close the turnstile, and then teleport back into the game room. When trying to figure out how the number of players in the room happened someone who was in the room said they noticed that every time the staff member left the room another player would enter through the door. Since it was the staff member's room they could enter even though the room was full and every time they left another player would enter.

So the first, and mostly unknown, experiment that Mr.Genie devised was just to see if he could exceed the 15 player room limit by using a teleport as the staff did. He got a room up to 17 players. Then he happened to leave the room by accidently following and when he returned noticed the room now had 18 players in it.

The well known experiment that this thread is about was next and started out just to see if there was a true maximum capacity of a room. Nobody ever expected the maximum capacity of a room to ONLY be limited by its size.

MrGenie did not have prior approval for this expierment.

I went back and searched the related threads on the source site again. Could not find specific mention of prior approval, but the pop-up sent out before the room was emptied would seem to indicate that there had been communication with staff. In any event, they were aware of the experiment and allowed it to be carried out.

I agree they knew while it was happening and probably before it happened(being that they read our forums and theirs), I also agree that they let the experiment continue until MrGenie himself decided to leave the room and not re enter. Then they shut it down.

After a series of other Room Cramming events VMK set down the rule that this type of thing would not be allowed.

I was only correcting some minor discrepancies in what was being posted.

That it was during Beta - it was not.

That the girls in green were staff - again not.

That VMK had OKed the room cramming event - again not.

Mal the girl in the goofy hat had to be staff they had

Green Staff Shirt
Green Baggy Pants
Green Flips On

He did not mention the girl in the front then there is a blonde girl in the middle or something with the same outfit or close that possibly is staff

I was referring to the girl in the front of the photo in the fishermans hat,

that is CL_MsBehave.

I personally do not remember which shirt was the staff shirt back then but that green shirt you have always been able to purchase and how can you tell which green pants she has oh since the guy with the green face and blue shirt on is really blocking the view.

I am not arguing the fact that staff came in or did not they did. Someone had mentioned the girl in front and since she had id herself and I knew who she was I posted it.

Just wanted to add that staff green ears were added around 7th of Oct for those interested.

 

[BestOfMe]

Wow, that brings back memories. I was so bummed that I missed that, I had to go to bed early. I loved reading about it though. Good times!

 

[jasonpwns]

Actually you can tell there green baggy pants see the girl in brown baggy pants? see how they over lap each other or like baggy and check the bottom by the right foot you see that overlap

 

[BriarRosie]

From the costumes I'm seeing, I'm thinking this must have happened sometime
around mid-July, when the Sorcerer ears and space suit came out. I was
at Disneyland July 14-18, 2005 for the 50th celebration and missed it.

Back then, I didn't know that I could create more characters in VMK Central
in Innoventions or even think of buying items when I was there over the
weekend. Back then, weekend-only items...that was a new concept!
But I did manage to get my quest cards, gold ears and magic mirror, so
it worked out.

If I was on VMK during this experiment, I think I probably would have
followed Coriander to this room. What I do remember when I got back, I
was happy to trade a pair of gold ears to Peggo for a Sorcerer hat, back
when I used to close every night with the Mickey Castle Dancers.

I posted the exact date, it was 8-10-2005.

Ok.

Ok.

LOL! I didn't see that! Where the heck was I?

 

[Maleficent2]

LOL! I didn't see that! Where the heck was I?

no problem

 

[VMK_KrazyLuke]

Anyone else notice the girl with Green Flips and the old Green Staff Shirt...and it looks like Green Baggy Pants, but I can't completely tell.

Yes, that is it. It actually reminded me of VMK_Red in the green outfit before they made it official and could wear anything they wanted on their heads! lol
But.. many people had the entire outfit or at least the shirt, pants, or flips. They were common back then and I am sure many accounts have them from people that played a few times back then and gave up and just left

 

[koolashley]

if Genie didn't get the full aquired approval of cramming over 100 vmkers into the room, then why would he do that anyway?

plus, i bet if that was in real life there would practically be no room to breathe

 

[Captain Brain]

Oh the days whenever we had nothing better to do but go into a room to see how full it could get...
