Totally Tron tomorrow!!

[caribbound]

Woot!! did you see the hours for this event? FIVE hours of pin trading! Maybe you'll get in this time cat herder! I've missed the past two or three because of being gone most or all of the time (dc 3 times last week even though I got in queue fresh at 36). I'm excited, already paid much for my Jolly Roger pin, but hope they have Zebra when i get there or something better that I could trade for zebra and something else.

Totally Tron, 2:30- 7:30pm PT

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Whaaaaaa!!!!
I'm going to miss it.

I'll be leaving home at 7am and won't be near a computer until late Sunday night.

Oh well. Visiting my cousin is a little more important than getting virtual pins at this moment.


I wish everyone good luck in getting in and having successful trades.

yeah with the dc monster going home this event will most likely be awesome!!

 

[HeDiedxILive]

Arrgghh... I have a band competition. I love those events. Oh well, I'll survive... I made a nice trade with my Jolly Roger pin, anyway

 

[peasy]

apparently,..I'll need all five hours after last weeks mess...gosh I hope Lily remembers!

 

[darkacre]

This could be awesome, especially if the dc problem has been fixed or improved, which, from what I can tell, may be the case.

 

[puckstopper55]

Jolly roger pin? I thought maybe they would be giving out the eye pin?

 

[pixiewytch]

Okay, can someone explain how this works? I missed out on the last pin event because I didn't have a clue. What kind of pins will there be and what do you trade?

Do you have a specific pin in mind? I can try and get it for you IF I can get in and IF the host is wearing it.

I don't mind trying for you, so let me know.

All the pin trading events have basically been:

1. Click on the Host. Check out the pins she's wearing. When it's your
turn to trade, pick one you like. Wait for the Host to initiate the trade
window.

2. Offer a pin that was sold under "Specials" in the Emporium. Basically any
series pin will do. I've heard conflicting reports that some hosts will accept
other pins, but I have heard otherwise. I don't think they will trade for
the 25 credit pins.

If anyone has traded the cheaper pins, it's news to me. I just try to do
the trade as fast as possible. I ask for the pin I want first, then quickly
find the pin I want to trade.

After my first "specials" pin trades, I read/heard you could trade buyables so started doing that, the 25 credit pins. No problem. I believe Pirate Emery or someone even got a bonus Eye pin with such a trade, but I'm sure they're less likely to do so.
THEN I heard they were taking the free pins, like Esmerelda and Ned, so i started trading those instead. Again no problem. They don't have any rules posted about what kind of pin is required so until they do , I guess they have to take anything. I'm not one to buy a ton of pins every weekend, so I'm glad I can use the cheap/free ones, even if it lessens/diminishes my chance for the ATIS eye.

Oh thank you Pink!

I don't have any in particular in mind. I just want to do it just to get extras of the more rare for trade.

I have all pins except those in my signature. The only ones that I don't have at least one extra of are the Mighty Eye and Tomorrowland 8/9. So I'm really not in need of any.

So, thank you so much for your kind offer. But please try to get whatever you may need.


Lori: I have traded a couple of the cheaper pins. But only with Lily. I don't think I would try those with Fin.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad I stocked up on some tron pins I dont really want, hehe.

If this is anything like real pin trading in the parks which I'm very familiar with, you can trade any licensed Disney pin for what is on a CM's lanyard. It does make sense that vmk would have similar rules in place for their online events. If the hosts are like CM's then it seems that they would accept any other pin for what they have.

I'm curious to hear if others have had pins rejected though.

I consider myself to be one of the Pin Trading Champions, having gotten into every room since Doom Weekend.


The Hosts do accept 25 credit pins. I have been using the DCA pin that is on sale in the Emporium in every pin trading event and the Hosts have always accepted.

Okay then, "Pin Trading Champion", I want one rare pin from every hour that room is open!

Just kidding... (it would still be nice, though!)

 

[CaptHook34]

yes it should be fun

Well this is my experience with the dc monster lately. I can pretty such get into the regular staff game with no problem for the past two months, and almost never dc; but I do dc when playing some of the minigames.

The first pin trading weekend, I think I managed to get into the room and into the trade window with the host 3 times the whole weekend, but I dc each time before the trade talks could start.

The second and third pin trading events I couldn't get into the room at all, but during those same weeks I could get into the regular host games with no problem. This month I have managed to get 7 of the host game pins.

I will try again tomorrow. My husband is leaving on a business trip in the morning so I can play most of the day.

 

[Mnementh]

Can you trade multiple times with the same character? Because during that pin trading weekend, I always switched up characters after I got a pin...

 

[pixiewytch]

I have one last question (I promise). Are they trading all sorts of pins or only tron pins for this event? I'm interested in trading my tron pins but I have no desire to get any in return.

 

[cat_herder]

From what I have read the host will be wear pins from all different theme sets, you can chose one of them. Just don't chose the Tron one.
