Aw Taz, I didn't know you were out there trying to get in!
I don't really like locking my rooms. Usually when I do it, I'm alone (building or afk). I've had a host in my room a twice. The first time was when my Gingerbread house was judged and the second time was yesterday. It feels weird to me to lock people out because... I don't know, it feels a little selfish I guess. So my room was wide open yesterday until word started to get around that Lily was in there it began to turn into a host event. She was having to answer the standard host questions that she gets everywhere she goes in VMK. And, I was afraid some of my friends might not be able to get in if I let the room fill completely up. So, I set the room to only allow my "friends." I'm sorry that you weren't on that list Taz.
I can tell you this about my moment of VMK "popularity," I never had so many friend requests in a short period of time. And don't think that I don't know that some people just wanted to be on my list because they think they can get to a host through me. By the time we were done playing pirates my list was full (and I just cleaned it out last week). I will be giving it a major scrubbing today.
It was seriously cool to have my picture in a quest though. Thanks Lily
