Totally Tron tomorrow!!

[caribbound]

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...

Just as you are only allowed one win per day for host games, you are only allowed one trade/day. The trading isn't considered a game so even if you are successful in trading, you can still do a host game with that character later or earlier.

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.

The host wears eight pins, one of them will be the Tron lightcycle pin. Others will be older retired or host pins. If you do a little homework you can know what might be best value if you plan to trade it. I have learned a little in the past month. And you can save your expensive Tron pins for trades in a few months and just use a cheap or free pin in your stock.

well it seems that totally tron is totally no more....its not on the game list anymore...

I just saw that and was going to ask where it was listed.

I just wanted to clarify in the Staff Trades they do not accept free or quest pins. They want to the pin to at least have been purchased with 500 credits. Trying to trade any other pin of cheaper value only slows down the line. Please trade a pin of 500 credits.

I know last night Lily was saying how the trade event was not 5 hours long... only 3.... I wonder if they are trying to fix that, or if the scraped the trade event for the other, which will then run 5 hours long..

wat is totaly tron??

I don't know...I got in line at 10 players in queue and the line never moved...so after about 12 minutes I hit cancel and although I was not dc...I could not move or type or access any rooms...so apparently it's not dc anymore but just as annoying.

I am really frusterated with all of this. I need to talk to Lily about the trade gone bad last Saturday - she wasn't at the program she was suppose to host the next day (Sunday) and I can't get on middle of the week at 2:30 p.m. and now she's not at THIS event she is supposed to be hosting.

so does totally tron trades still start as what the vmk caldendar says? 2:30?

Absolutely not! I have always used the DCA Pin (25 credits at the Emporium) and I have never run into any "snag."

It says space paranoids now...seems the trade event has been cancelled altogether

They will accept any pin.

I have never been questioned about any pin I put in the window. It's never slowed anything down. Ive never read anywhere in their descriptions of what the minimum value pin is that they will trade for, so the only reason I used 500 credit pins in the first place is because that's what I read HERE that you had to do. Many people don't go on message boards so if there aren't any instructions, as in with Circuit Repairs or whatever it's called, then people don't know any different. If vmk staff or the home page want to say the required minimum trade accepted, then I'm happy to oblige, until then I'll save my credits.

Interesting about that. They had this rule in previous trade events. I know a few friends got burned or denied because the pins they had were quest pins or they were asked to present two quest pins to get the value equal to the staff pin for trade. Again, like you said it should be clear in the instructions.

I was told once that it had to be a series pin, while in trade window with host! So, I always use something that is a part of a series. I tried an inexpensive pin at first, and the host said it had to be part of a series! So, there you go, a little confusion for us all!

It seems when they first started the pin trading events they were very strict about it being the 500 credit pins....then as people were getting dc'd almost every second in the room - the hosts became more interested in getting the trades done asap and did not bother telling people to put up a different pin. I know that I was helping a girl in the line getting to the chair, who didn't know what to do, and I told her they would like the pins you get in the emporium under specials and that's when Lily tried to give me the prize...so I DO think they prefer those pins over the cheapies.
