I want to get the specifics so I can put 'em into the Wikipedia article...

What were the previous events held on the VMK, what dates were they held, and what prizes were given out?

The more details you can provide, the better! Thanks! :)
 
I know the very first event (in the beta) was a scavenger hunt...i dont know what date
 
Sorry, Lime, I can't remember specifics. But I'll try to post the bits and pieces that I remember, that might jog other people's memory for more details.

BTW, love the Wikipedia article -- I think it's the single best place to get the summary of VMK info anywhere.

OK here are some random things I remember:

First [non-]Event: the "parade" and scavenger hunt
- the parade was a bazillion players on Main Street who were given marching orders to go West. "Leaders" in each room instance of the parade were given Inferno, I believe. The speculation is that the "parade" was a server load test, without letting the players know that was the goal.
- this was followed by a "scavenger hunt", where system-wide messages were broadcast to players to find a given VMK person. Prizes were given -- I don't remember, but think they might have been rooms.

Other events:

Celebration- and Space- Theme Event
- room judging contests on 2 days, one day "Celebration" of the 50th anniversary theme, another day "Space" theme for re-opening of Space Mountain
- prizes were also given out for finding VMK who were "hiding", as well as for answering trivia questions that VMK would ask

Pin-trading Theme Event
- room judging contest for pin trading

Pin-trading Repeat Event (after first maze event was cancelled)

That's what I can remember off the top of my head. I bet if you searched on this forum, you could find details in posts.

Good luck, Lime!

Yep, no staff ever came to our instance of the game. Then the scavenger hunt started. Stay or go? I elected to go, but no staff ever did come to that instance to lead the "parade". A complete waste of time, and a lot of unhappy people. (see it's been done before :rotfl: )
