Virtual Magic Kingdom Game (Beta Launch)

[ekmdisney]

Hiya!!

I can't wait...before you know it!

What is your name on the VMK again?

I think everyone should put their VMK alias in their siggy so we can start to realize who it was we were talking to here and there...lol did that make sense? This heat is getting to me I think!

If I see you I can take you pic with my copmputer, and you can put it in your sig, like I have.

EKMdisney: Thanks!! Golden Horseshoe wasn't showing up in my shopping catalog, so I kept wondering where everyone was getting those items from!!

Marypops!: That room is so cool! Must be a room from winning pirates!

 

[ekmdisney]

Your Welcome!

 

[marypops!]

actually the room isn't out yet
also heard that the game will officially open in 2 days time

the rooms which are not out yet are:
haunted mansion room
explorers tent
sunken pirate ship
skull rock

I have a question and I don't know if it has been asked so please forgive me if it has all ready.... ( gave up reading the back pages) When you complete 10 wins on Level 3 of Pirates you are granted access to a secret door somewhere... where and what is it? I was half reading it and I deleted the message by mistake!

Hi all,

Thanks to the people who offered up their rooms to share as Dis meeting places. Sorry I haven't been on too much today -- I've now been up 38 hours with maybe 3 hours sleep, so I don't think I'll VMK tonight (much...)

For people interested in how the VMK Dis Room Network functions, I wrote up the following in the wee hours of the morning. The very bottom has the nitty gritty of how to get your room hooked into the network. The hard part will be getting ME and YOU on VMK at the same time and place, so I can take a teleportation portal and install it in the Lobby.

REQUEST: please only get the coffin teleportation portals (at the Golden Horseshoe Mercantile), because they are smaller (can fit more in the lobby), and so the portals to shared rooms will be more obvious.

JeanJoe (aka Bezoar on VMK)

OK, now for how it all works:

=====

Shared room / teleportation room network

Goal: as much as possible, to share a common room, even when that room's owner is not logged in


Method:

- one lobby room, which has a teleporter linking to a teleporter in the common room

- multiple players who each have 1 teleporter in their own room and 1 teleporter in the lobby room

- what this allows: even when the lobby room owner and/or common room owner are NOT logged in, someone who has a teleporter in their own room can get to the lobby, and then get to the common room

- when we want to change the common room, we can just move the single teleporter in the common room into a new common room; the rest of the network stays intact


Style:

- to cram as many personal room teleporters in the lobby room as possible, people should purchase coffin teleporters because they take up less space, and because then it will be clear that coffins transport to personal rooms and not to common rooms

- the lobby room teleporter into the common room is currently a tea cup, so it will stand out

- if we need more common rooms in the future, we could use the other non-coffin teleporters to link to additional common rooms

- if we need more lobby space for more personal teleporters, we could create more lobby rooms, and then link together the lobby rooms. Perhaps each lobby room could link to a different common room.


Caveats:

- if you provide a teleportation link from your room to the lobby, people will be able to backtrack into your room. If you don't want people to wander around in your room, rope off around the teleporter

- if you rope off the "normal" entrance to the COMMON room (not around the teleportation tea cup), and no one is in the lobby, it will be tedious to let people who don't have a personal lobby teleportation portal into the common room, because when they "go to" you, they will end up behind the ropes

- perhaps the common room should not be roped off, but that means lots of random people will drop in; this could be set depending on the common room owner's preference?


Nitty Gritty:

So you want to add a teleportation portal from your room to the Lobby Teleportation Room, for access to the common room(s)?

1) buy a coffin teleporter from the Golden Horseshoe Mercantile (500 credits)
2) place ONE of the pair of teleporters in your own room
3) trade the OTHER teleporter to the OWNER of the Lobby Room (currently Bezoar)
4) the Lobby Room owner will place the OTHER teleporter that s/he received
5) that's it!
-) by the way, when steps 2 and 4 were reversed, there seemed to be a bug where the owner could not place the teleporter in their own personal room; this might have also happened because I tried to "use" the Lobby teleporter before the Room teleporter was placed

- if you want your teleporter back, just ask

 

[JeanJoe]

I think it is Bezoar (JeanJoe on here) that has it posted in his signature on there that he doesn't want a VMK Girlfriend...LOL

It is so weird that they ask that....I asked him why I couldn't be his girlfriend...LOL

Yes, and it's sure not because I'm a, what's the non-PC, disgusting term, "chick" or "babe" magnet?...

It's because I get totally freaked out by people who are probably one third my age asking me out. That, plus my wife would beat me up.

The siggy thing is a great idea. Also, here's Pumpkinfish's thread that is attempting to maintain a list of VMK vs. Dis screen names.

Thanks again!

What's the name of the Dis room?

 

[StaceyA]

Yes, and it's sure not because I'm a, what's the non-PC, disgusting term, "chick" or "babe" magnet?...

It's because I get totally freaked out by people who are probably one third my age asking me out. That, plus my wife would beat me up.

I won't tell her if you won't LOL

As soon as I get enough credits to buy a coffin, I will let me room open to the public....im struggling for credits because im AWFUL at the games, the credits I did have I bought some furniture to jazz up the place!

One question, can you change the name of your free room, or just the one you buy?

 

[vellamint]

I think i have enough credits for the coffin teleporter.....just let us know when you open the new room.

 

[Maleficent2]

we can also use my room...

[taximomfor4]

I just started VMK yesterday. Guarantee that my dh hates me having started!

Anyway, I basically wandered and hunted for hidden mickeys, and then played fireworks. Just FINALLY reached level 2 on pirates (thanks to partners who were better than I was ).

IU have also done the Jungle Cruise, but does that ever give points?

How do I get more points? I can only do the fireworks so many times, I will NEVER get better than 4th anyway. I want to get a coffin transporter too, just need to know what I am missing!

[Maleficent2]

ok I bought the teleporter....just let me know what to do with it...

Give it to me cause I have no credits...LOL

Right now im in a haunted mansion room that someone won for having the best room.

Also, I placed first on the Fireworks game...yippee
I thought you got more then credits, a pin and a poster for #1 or going over 200,000, I thought you got a magic pin (wishful thinking I guess)

 

[lillykat]

How do we give him our teleporter to add to bezoars room?

 

[StaceyA]

The Teleport Lobby is the coolest, people are coming in because it is ranked most popular and they are floored by all the teleporters LOL

I can't wait to get 225 more credits to get mine! I spent all my credits tonight shopping! LOL

 

[Cyndirella]

I got my teleporter tonight (but now have no credits!). JeanJoe/Bezoar, get some sleep and I will catch up with you in the next couple of days to give you the one for the teleporter lobby.

I did good tonight - logged on and off within 30 minutes! I can't stay up until midnight again tonight!
