Well I was riding the ride and got to this way room and there was a line of 9. It was not moving so I took a VMK pass. I clicked on it in time and it said something like this area not available. I went what. So do not take VMK pass.

It is too late for me to try again. So I am not happy with this . But must be a gliche. Not that I would have won a pin. But I did not even get the chance.

Why have VMK pass if it can not be used. Do not get it. And because you can not contact staff in game how will they know :confused3 it is a issue :)
 
wow that stinks, but dont both teams get the pin anyway? its just that the other team wins?
 
The game is a ride of about three or four beautifully decorated rooms. Then in the the last room you have to go through a kiosk to pay five credits to choose a river teleporter. My guess is that some people are just standing there and maybe either don't know what to do or don't want to pay the credits and then not win. So there are no teams just stay on the ride, pay the credits at the end a choose a teleporter. I hope you can get back in line and try again.:goodvibes
 
Yes, the line moves quickly. I started in line at 1000 and 40 minutes later the line is down to 400.
 

Nope it is my bedtime. I only get an hour of host time on week days. I wish they would start at 7:30. But I can understand there difficulty but for us in the easter time 8:30 is late. Yes It is a ride but should not have a 9 person wait. Needs to look at this.

Why would you get a pass for a queue of only 9 people?
 
Talk about NOT being a happy camper :mad: I was 80 in the queue and got into the first 2 rooms quickly, and then in the 3rd room for some reason the river teleporter was not working, so we were backed up like 15 people !!

VMK_Lion came through and tried figuring out the problem, but was not able to. Then Fin comes in and tells everyone that we have to EXIT and get back in line :eek: Well, apparently a few of us were not moving quickly enough, so she "booted us!!!" I tried getting back in line, but got the stupid message "you have been booted and need to wait before you can go back in!" :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Needless to say, by the time I was able to even try and get in the queue, it was well over 1200 people and with an hour and a half left. I was furious, so I screamed at Fin. through my computer of course, and went to watch TV popcorn::

Today was just a horrible day for Host games :headache: :sad2:

Before I start: This does not go against anyone in any way. I have a tendancy to get a little carried away in my writing, and have problems trying to make it sound nicer sometimes. Please be reminded that anything said rude (if any) is not meant to be. Thanks!

Although it may not seem right for her to just boot freely like that, you all do need to understand why she does that.

1) Her room set up - She cant just remove the teleporter and have you walk down to the beginning without destorying that room. Room builders HATE having to do that. Usually it is some trouble-maker causing it (although that doesn't happen to be in this case). Just think: How would you handle that kind of situation? If Lion came in and already found no way to fix it, is there any other way to get around it without ruining her effect? Yes, it was a little rude for her to give the boot, perhaps she'll be reading this and hopefully change her ways.

2) It's very bad for a room to be clogged up with hundreds of players coming in by the minute. And for those of you that complain about long lines, ahem. The cause for host games like this is clogging up of rides. She can only do what she can to help, but there seems no better way than asking the players to leave. Her power is only limited. She cant give you a "cut the line pass" for the host game if that happens.

3) She's just doing her job. Personally, I had an interesting conversation with her about seagull lamps (because we always talk about betting on when they'll be released), and how the 50th sign was removed on the red and blue director seats. When she can relax, we have no wanting to yell at her. But when there's a malfuction, what else can she do? Her job is to run those games smoothly - and in fact, she's the most efficent host, in my opinion at least. Although she may not be the most fun (which a host is actually supposed to be in charge of...), she does take care of it and we do recieve our prizes. You can look at Hula, Lily, and Sparky and say what's wrong with their games with no sweat.

4) Everytime she does boot, the next time the game runs, that problem is usually fixed and people aren't booted in that spot anymore because there is no need for it. Anyone remember how we always got booted in baseball month because of that river teleporter that lead from the front to back, and how it was fixed right away? Keep this in mind :)

And the VMK Pass bug is known and is in the process of being taken care of :)

Yeah I got stuck in a staff game teleporter the other day. I sent messages for help and got the message back that the staff game had closed, there was no way it was closed. I went into a another window and put a mule online and sure enough the game was running and people were getting in the queue line every second. Closed my foot - I hate to be lied to most especialy by people who are suppose to be dealing with children.

By all means lets not spoil her effect or the room. Let's hurt the player.

How about softening the blow and the wasted hours of waiting in the queue by giving the stuck player the prize anyway? We all know they can do it, we have seen it too many times.

Nice she will take the time to chat with you. All I get from polite questions are "Move along, choose a teleporter", "Sorry I won't answer your questions", "No I won't be your friend", and of ocurse the total ingore of questions or greetings. I see all the staff say the same to hundreds of players every day.

Same thing happened to me and I was furious as well. It is so annoying to get into the room. Then be booted for no reason. Then you have to go back to the back of the line

Unfortunately it's people like you that hold up host games for others waiting in line. The ones who stand in the room chit-chatting, the ones who want to take a picture with the host, "do you need any help host?", "will you be my friend host?", when is the new furnish going to be released?"

Stuff like this annoys me to no end.

No offense
 
Not to make anyone mad, but keep in mind, this is a game, it is supposed to be fun!!
don't sweat the small stuff!!
Things happen with computers, don't you think they have problems with their computers on occasion?
After all everything you see in VMK is a program, and sometimes those have problems!!
I believe that for everything that is involved with vmk, all the different rooms, games, rides, they do an exceptionally good job.
and VMK Thanks for all you hard work to provide us with a fun/free game!!

They work hard for your enjoyment, i do not believe they try to "make it difficult" for you at all, it seams that their entire objective is for you to have fun.
so, :dance3: Have fun

None taken :)

But I do talk with her because if staff dont answer those questions, they get asked to yavn (who usually wont answer them), and then straight to a community leader. The only reason we're allowed to have staff on our friends list is in case we are unable to answer a question - in which case would usuallyy happen with unreleased item info. Although she cannot give out dates and has no final sayings on anything, she does talk about her thoughts on releases and sometimes about changes given to items.

And no, I dont ask Phinny to be my friend or take pictures with me :rotfl: That's kinda tacky
