View Full Version : GIANT Dreams Quest
gpdot 09-06-2007, 01:30 AM Ok... this is my first and last attempt at a quest.
I will run it all month long, or until my inventory runs out.
You can see from the photo below, that there are a lot of prizes in it right now, and there will be a growing number of prizes throughout the month.
http://i166.****************/albums/u84/gpdot/__Quest_prizes.png
Some of the prizes will include:
Stitch Box
Gold Candle
Cyan Ariel Treasure
HKDL Disneyland Pin
Red HKDL Shirt
Sea foam Green Cactus Seat
Candy Cauldron
Gold Retro items
Pirate Quest
All Unisex outfits (usually comes complete - Hat, top, pants, and shoes when applicable including the red baseball outfit)
Magic - all that is tradable
Quest items - I believe all of these are included (holiday, Frontireland, Adventureland etc)
Pink Slipper
Pin sets
Green HKDL Poster
HKDL Pins
HKDL Lamps green and pink
Red HKDL shirt
Posters
Furniture and credits.
In the quest now or already gone
ALL of this stuff will be up at some point this moth to go along with the dream theme (though some may not be up initially). This is a first come first serve quest since a timed quest can't last more than a single day.
Please be kind to others, if you have a dozen or even 2 players in VMK under your control USE ONLY 1!
I currently have gone through over 700 prize winners, but will probably be well over 2000 by the time the month is over.
Please don't trade or just hang around the room. Give everyone a chance.
People who decide to trade in the room, or those asking for free will be booted. Sorry, but I need to be fair. This is really free stuff to you, but I do want you to put a little effort into it. :)
The room's title is Dreams Quest (original huh)
http://i166.****************/albums/u84/gpdot/__Quest_room.jpg
It will be open at various times, and I may or may not be sitting at the computer while my character is on keeping the room open.
If I see any answers posted I will shut down the Quest immediately - please respect this as it is not a difficult quest.
Thanks for your understanding, and have fun.

groovysqirrel 09-06-2007, 04:32 AM Woot, Idk If You Remember But I Was There.
Nice Quest, And Excellent Prizes!
-Groovy
PancakesWithSyrup 09-06-2007, 12:02 PM I'll be sure to come... can you post when your open? I cant get on VMK as much bc of school..
TheMagicWithin 09-06-2007, 01:27 PM I will come after 3:30 Central bc that's when my school gets out
Acepowerboy 09-06-2007, 02:50 PM Great room, the quest was fun, great prizes, I had a better chance of winning a prize from you then seen a Host in VMK. Lol Great job again and Ty.
Kitri 09-06-2007, 02:53 PM Wonderful looking room, and prizes. I have not checked out the quest yet, it's too early right now. But when and if I can, I know it will be great!
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 05:17 PM Yes very nice quest! And the prizes are the best prizes I have ever seen in a quest. It took me forever to find the clovers though! I searched through that room so many times, and it was right in front of me! I'll be sure to stop by today when it is open.
StitchMad 09-06-2007, 06:03 PM I'm curious to see what you guys won.. post! :D.
Good Luck.
gpdot 09-06-2007, 06:25 PM I am having a bit of difficulty after adding another 400 prize lines with multiple prizes.
http://i166.****************/albums/u84/gpdot/_quest_error.jpg
I have a help request in, but we'll see.
GPDOT
Acepowerboy 09-06-2007, 06:37 PM Did you change the title of the quest, that happened to me on time and I had a wrong word on the title and to many punctuation.
gpdot 09-06-2007, 06:41 PM The only thing I did was add prizes...
Acepowerboy 09-06-2007, 06:48 PM Did you try to take some of the prizes out and just add them to another quest but only keep one quest at the time in your room. Why I'm trying to help you, don't give away your stuff. Save it for the family.
gpdot 09-06-2007, 06:49 PM I am removing things now, and I am the family, others don't play...
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 07:35 PM Are you quitting, GPDOT? Ace's comment made me think you are quitting. "Save stuff for the family." Anyways, that happened to me too, for some reason I couldn't add to my room description, it kept flashing red. It was in the Dark Ride room also. Hope you get everything worked out!
AlexKZ 09-06-2007, 07:49 PM I would love to come try the quest when you are open, you always have been good at making rooms, let see how good you are at making quests :D
:magic: AlexKZ
Jezibabe 09-06-2007, 08:34 PM Well, I managed to get to your room, but unfortunately I crashed when I clicked on the quest machine. By the time I had rebooted your quest /room seemed to have vanished :(
gpdot 09-06-2007, 09:06 PM Ok so the Quest is back up, and will be on soon.
I had to remove some prizes (don't worry I only removed the good ones - LOL)
The problem seems to have been a corrupt room name and description. I cleared both and typed them back in exactly as they were and it works again.
Thanks
GPDOT
PrincessWall 09-06-2007, 09:07 PM So, are you quitting or something? Anyways, I'll try to stop by later, looks like fun! :D
♥Wall
gpdot 09-06-2007, 09:12 PM It's on again :)
TheMagicWithin 09-06-2007, 09:41 PM I will come just let me get on
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 09:43 PM Wow it hasn't been opened long and already the line is at 23!
gpdot 09-06-2007, 09:44 PM Let me know what you won...
Thanks
TheMagicWithin 09-06-2007, 09:45 PM Line over 30 or so.. wow
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 09:46 PM Last night I won a Blue Pirate Throne Chair :) I was the third to finish. Gpdot, is 200 the limit for prizes in a Quest Kiosk, or does it hold more than that?
Acepowerboy 09-06-2007, 09:53 PM I got nothing today, Lol but last night a got a pan hat. You have no prizes form 1 to 137, Lol
gpdot 09-06-2007, 09:55 PM the empty ones have already been awarded :)
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 09:56 PM So the empty ones have already been won? I thought they disappeared after that.
gpdot 09-06-2007, 09:58 PM no the place is still held :)
Acepowerboy 09-06-2007, 09:58 PM By the way, just to remind ppl to do the ride to, is great, loved it.
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 10:00 PM Oh I thought you meant the dark ride! lol There is a ride in his room then? Well I will try to do it, but the line is really long! "Unfortunately there is no prize for you this time" is what the quest message said lol
Jezibabe 09-06-2007, 10:06 PM Oh gosh.. three times I crashed when clicking the kiosk. The fourth time I managed to do it and got as far as question 16 when the quest was terminated. I am seriously having bad luck :(
TheMagicWithin 09-06-2007, 10:07 PM Oh gosh.. three times I crashed when clicking the kiosk. The fourth time I managed to do it and got as far as question 16 when the quest was terminated. I am seriously having bad luck :(
prizes aren't working for some reason
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 10:14 PM Why was the quest terminated?
gpdot 09-06-2007, 10:23 PM Try it again, I had to stop it to get the prizes working again from the problem this morning. sorry for the set back
GPDOT
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 10:27 PM Ok, I'm coming again! lol Currently- 36 in line! Congrats on the popularity of the room!
gpdot 09-06-2007, 10:35 PM Thank you
:)
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 10:47 PM Wow...I just finished the quest for the second time today, and it said I won the Bird Hat! Thanks so much :)
gpdot 09-06-2007, 10:51 PM you should only be able to finish it once...
sunnyskye 09-06-2007, 10:54 PM Well the first time it had the empty spots, and you closed it, so I gave it another try.
TheMagicWithin 09-06-2007, 10:54 PM My computer went loco.. so I had to get back in line
Jezibabe 09-06-2007, 11:14 PM I absolutely loved doing that quest, thanks, despite crashing yet again in the pan ride and having to relog back on.. I got the cookie bench :)
Destination 09-06-2007, 11:16 PM when I played I won 3 purple Haunted Mansion tables! :)

the_phoenix 09-08-2007, 01:57 AM omg omg, i want to come asap to play the quest - hopes to win one of the green toy soldiers -
I was in the room while GPDOT was doing something and I saw you giving the an answer to a girl. Please don't do that.
GoodPolarGirl 09-08-2007, 02:00 AM I was in the room while GPDOT was doing something and I saw you giving the an answer to a girl. Please don't do that.
OMG! - gets real angry - sorry, i didn't think telling that someone had to accept the friend request was exactly giving an answer :mad: :( anyway, who made you in charge? :mad::(
the_phoenix 09-08-2007, 02:02 AM GPDOT is my friend and there is NO need to get angry because YOU didn't follow HIS intructions.
Destination 09-08-2007, 02:03 AM thats what gpdot said, he said he didn't want anyone telling answers to anybody or else he had to shut down the quest immediatley
DonaldsWishes 09-08-2007, 03:16 AM I want to do the qwuest but i cant get in anyway so maybe tomorrow:)
gpdot 09-08-2007, 04:04 AM Ok, thanks all for working with me, but I am ok with someone letting a person know about freinds. That is not giving up a big secret about a room location or clover locations.
But I do thank you for working with me.

PancakesWithSyrup 09-09-2007, 02:39 PM I didnt get to try it yet, I never saw it open. I hope I can try it :)
MissGoody 09-09-2007, 02:44 PM That's very nice of you.

Quest is closed for now. There were too many people trying to pick there prize, so I am changing the quest.
coolJamz 09-09-2007, 10:43 PM gpdot, you closed the room?
i cant get in.. your room isn't on the list..
DonaldsWishes 09-09-2007, 10:54 PM i cant get in either
Jezibabe 09-09-2007, 10:55 PM How do you get to pick your prize? Never heard that one before. I managed to do this quest before you closed it.. many thanks for my prize :)
gpdot 09-09-2007, 11:05 PM Yes, I had to close the room because there were too many people trying to pick there prize, so I am changing the quest.
The last task was smile
They would come back and stand by the QM until the prize was up they wanted. they would then smile.
This is one of the reasons I am giving it all away.
Some of the people can and will do things that are not appropriate.
Sorry for those of you who have tried to play fairly. It will be opened in an hour or so.
GPDOT
coolJamz 09-09-2007, 11:09 PM oic.. i would never do that .-.
im sorry gpdot
DonaldsWishes 09-09-2007, 11:10 PM i never thought of that LOL jk i would not do that
Jezibabe 09-09-2007, 11:28 PM Oh wow.. that thought would never cross my mind. Thanks for answering. Awesome quest by the way :)
TLynn 09-09-2007, 11:59 PM That is one reason that winning prizes by time is a good way to go... except for the first few places there is no way to keep track of what you'll win.
gpdot 09-10-2007, 01:20 AM That is one reason that winning prizes by time is a good way to go... except for the first few places there is no way to keep track of what you'll win.
But I really wanted it open all month long and time only allows for a day.
I have taken care of the problem though
It's open
flyingdonkeey 09-10-2007, 05:21 AM I just wanted to say Thank You,, your quest was awesome, and I got lucky and won the Gold Candle!!! Thank you so much :)
the_phoenix 09-10-2007, 06:04 AM Yay I got some purple Madame Leota Tables!!
Acepowerboy 09-10-2007, 06:06 AM Why wait, all the prizes are great, I got today the Pirate Stool and post. Is better and easier then seeing a Host, Lol Ty again.
SuperBillyHill 09-10-2007, 06:14 AM tyvm for a sweet quest gpdot :) And the castle room is awesome and weel thought out for allowing good access to the the quest kiosk. The quest is also fun and not too difficult but takes some dedication to finish it and I think a quest with great prizes like yours should be just like that. :) This should totally win best quest for a lot of reasons and I'm gonna vote for it. :)
gpdot 09-10-2007, 06:15 AM Thanks all good going flyingdonkey.
Someone got a cyan ariel treasure chest today too
and:
Red HKDL shirt
Red Number Generator
HKDL Disneyland Pin
White Snowman
Gold Snowman
There have been over 700 prize winners so far
Thanks SuperBillyhill
the_phoenix 09-10-2007, 06:16 AM I think I know who got the Cyan treasure chest... >_<
gpdot 09-10-2007, 06:20 AM I think I know who got the Cyan treasure chest... >_<

Who got it?
:)
the_phoenix 09-10-2007, 06:25 AM I think AquaCyanMoon got it >_< She gets everything!! She wouldn't tell me what she got, she only said it was a cyan thing....
gpdot 09-10-2007, 06:29 AM Could have been a cyan lamp too; I had those and red lamps in there. :)
the_phoenix 09-10-2007, 06:31 AM - hits himself in the face with hand -
I just nominated the quest for the 30th time... hehehE
gpdot 09-10-2007, 06:38 AM - hits himself in the face with hand -
I just nominated the quest for the 30th time... hehehE
No hitting yourself!
Thanks for the votes :)
the_phoenix 09-10-2007, 06:39 AM No problem. I'm pretty sure u got club33 in the pocket, but just in case....
Another 20 Nominations!!!
Kangaforlife 09-10-2007, 07:11 AM Awesome work, GPDOT! This was such a fun quest! I liked the way you worded the tasks, and it really was pretty easy (arg, except it took these "ancient" eyes a while to locate all those clovers, lol). It makes me sad that some people would try to manipulate things to choose their prize, but please don't let that discourage you. I'd like to think that there are a lot of honest people on VMK and I know many people really appreciate what you are doing.
And I agree with you that we should all try not to be mean to each other in pirates :).
I won a Mickey Christmas tree, and it now has a special place in one of my rooms. Thank you for all of your hard work. VMK is a great place because of people like you.
eaglesgirl 09-10-2007, 07:23 AM As always GPDOT, you truly amaze me!!! The work that you put into your creations is astounding. So, it will come as not great shock that I LOVE your quest & have nominated it!!! Woot Woot!!!
In regards to your prizes, YOU'RE CRAZY!!! LOL...in the spirit of dreams, you've granted so many & have made so many players happy! Thank you for doing that...it shows what a wonderful person there is behind your character.
Changing that last task was a brilliant move. You are one smart cookie!!!
For those of you who have NOT done it, it's not a difficult quest and the prizes are awesome! I do hope you win best quest for this one. You told me it was going to be the best...I'll be looking for your title in the morning! ;)
StitchMad 09-10-2007, 07:55 AM Hmm.. Still not had chance to play.
Hope I can get in and win something cool. I can only be on at opening + 6 hours though. Arg.
gabyta 09-10-2007, 08:45 PM gpdot I missed the quest but I'm glad you got Bubbles' visit, I hope you win best quest... People are talking wonders about your quest and I think that must be truth since your work is usually great!
Congratulations!
gpdot 09-10-2007, 10:29 PM open...................................
sunnyskye 09-10-2007, 10:40 PM I'm doing the quest right now, nice new changes!
gpdot 09-11-2007, 12:41 AM The quest is over, and unless I get a boost in the knowledge there is more good than bad on VMK, it's over for good.
Thanks
Centurey 09-11-2007, 12:54 AM Aww your kidding. I only got to task 3 :(
the_phoenix 09-11-2007, 01:05 AM The quest was taken down because of... well....

TLynn 09-11-2007, 02:16 AM I'm so sorry you are having such a frustrating time with your quest. :( You make such amazing rooms, so I bet the quest was great too. You were trying to do such a generous thing that I'm very sad to hear that people have tried to take advantage of your amazing generosity.
GoodPolarGirl 09-11-2007, 02:20 AM Aww, you shut the quest down :( Unfortunately, I only got half way through the quest before i got disconnected from vmk. But, the quest that GPDOT created was very tricky and fun. To bad he is shutting it down :(
GoofyLuke 09-11-2007, 02:30 AM GPDOT. I never did the quest, nor did I plan too, because I never play players quest, no matter how fun they sound. I barely know you, just seen you on the forums, but the prizes you had were awesome. I'm sorry that right now you closed it because of what people were doing to take advantage of the prizes.
You will get the Best Quest Award. No doubt.
:mickeymo:
Acepowerboy 09-11-2007, 03:00 AM The quest is over, and unless I get a boost in the knowledge there is more good than bad on VMK, it's over for good.
ThanksSorry to see you go, If you ever just want to play a friendly game of pirates or ghost just let me know. I'm sure we still got some good ppl left in VMK:wave2:
SuperBillyHill 09-11-2007, 06:27 AM The quest is over, and unless I get a boost in the knowledge there is more good than bad on VMK, it's over for good.
Thanks
There's bad and good in VMK but I think a lot of people just find whatever one they're looking for. It's all about where you look. ;) I've seen a lot of bad but I try to ignore it as much as I can or report if it's REALLY bad. But I see a lot of good too and your quest was one of the REALLY good things. And a lot of your rooms I've seen are some of the REALLY good things. Attitude is 90% of everything. Look for the good and maybe you will find some too. :D
gpdot, I know you've said you don't want to do it, but I think you'll be surprised how much using the timer will cut down on that kind of thing. Put five good-but-not-great prizes in the top five slots and people will have no choice but to finish when they finish and hope they get the prize they want. (If you put your best stuff in the top slots people will create mules, mules and more mules until the five top times in your quest are Guests 5555551, 5555552, 5555553, 5555554 and 5555555.) If you fill up enough slots everyone should still get a prize - I'm sure you have a feel by now for about how many people can do your quest in a given amount of time - and you can just re-start it every day the way you've more or less been doing all along. You worked hard on that quest, and I can tell you had fun making the room. Don't let a few bad apples ruin it for you!
gpdot 09-11-2007, 06:47 AM This was not to be a giant problem, but a giant quest.
I wanted a nice way to give away all of my belongings and to make it fair to all.
I needed to rethink my methods.
I will restart the quest, but the truely rare will not be in the quest any longer. I will look for charitable or kind acts and make a request for a trade. I will attempt to gift those that are working for a better VMK. If this sparks a sudden flux of kindess, I am all for it.
In the mean time there will still be good things in the quest, just possibly not things worth waiting for. Most of the prizes so far have been worth a 1000 credits or more. I will try to stick to this, and most likely not remain in the room once it has started.
As to the point of only one person saying thank you, this is not true, many have said thank you and I greatly appreciate that. I was surprized that I had not heard from any but one who had won what I consider a big prize (I think this is where the confussion was). They were probably just too excited.
So the quest is on, but in a different format. Get it while you can and share your spirt of community and friendship with as many as you can.
Thank you
GPDOT
Jezibabe 09-11-2007, 07:46 AM I played your changed quest yesterday, many thanks for my prize. It was either a Halloween 06 or Halloween Quest pin. I am sorry that the cheaters found a way yet again to be able to choose their prize, although I am stumped as to how they did this because it took me a long time for the rides to load :confused: I had to reboot the computer because of that, so my sister ended up in the last room on the last question when you terminated the quest and missed out by about 3 seconds. (She had my pin instead :D )
I hope you decide to reopen your quest (as others suggest maybe change the last question and have it timed?) because I had great fun doing it (as did my sister). Again, many thanks :)
TLynn 09-11-2007, 12:41 PM One thing I've done to mix up my quests a bit is put items on the far side of a monorail station... that can really change the time it takes to complete a quest depending on your knowledge of the stations and your luck at catching a train. But I never got a chance to try your quest, so maybe you already have something like that in it.
sunnyskye 09-11-2007, 01:47 PM Nice method! I think that will work out great! Before I saw your post, I was going to suggest making a password, so the VMKF people could play the quest, but they had to say the password to play.
So are you going to be like the Dream Team, looking for nice people all around VMK? Now they will say, "Omg, look! It's GPDOT!" :)

I am sorry it ended on her, but in that case it ran out of prizes through natural course. I had over 100 prizes in yesterday and went through them in less than an hour. Please let your sister know it will be up again today.

Well, no that is not the hope. :)
I do have others I can distribute through if that becomes an issue, and most likely I will just leave the area if it happens.
Thanks for the tips on how to change it, but I thought putting it in the last room of a 6 minute long ride would be ample. They seem to be posting sentries to watch and report progress now. No matter, please enjoy the quest.

Kangaforlife 09-11-2007, 03:24 PM Oh, good, I'm glad you're continuing your amazing quest. It made me profoundly sad to read that bad behavior forced you to close it. I know you put a lot of time, effort, and creativity into making this for all of us to enjoy. It would be such a shame for greed and bad behavior to ruin something so wonderful.
I had been considering doing a similar quest (but on a much, much smaller scale - my prizes would not be so grand), but your experience has been an eye-opener for me. I'll have to really think this through.
Thanks again for making this fun quest. I'm glad you will be continuing it. :)
gpdot 09-12-2007, 01:37 AM it's open
:)
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 01:41 AM Woot GPDOT's back!
Woot! Fin was just in the room. She gave us all dream ears
gpdot 09-12-2007, 02:42 AM Phinny Just came and left, everybody got ears :)
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 02:56 AM yeah I posted that. It was awesome! - whispers: GPDOT wasn't even there... >_< -
sunnyskye 09-12-2007, 03:04 AM Wow I picked the wrong time to not come! lol
TLynn 09-12-2007, 04:19 AM Thank you for the quest - I got a set of four candy canes, although must have missed message since they seemed to just appear. If only I had timed it right to see one of the elusive hosts. Hope your quest is going much better for you tonight. :D
gpdot 09-12-2007, 05:46 AM Thank you for all who came tonight it was a lot of fun and a really nice experience. I really do appreciate the support.
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 05:57 AM It just nice to know you aren't leaving us with the evil scammers and blood-thristy guests... - shivers - i dunno what i would if you were gone,too!
surfergirlkelly 09-12-2007, 06:06 AM I did your quest tonight and thought it was great. Finding those clovers was........so much fun! :Tongue: I got the Space Mountain sign pin - Thank you very much!
I tried to get back to the room to ride the ride but couldn't find you on the list so I think I missed you. I'll look for it next time.
SuperBillyHill 09-12-2007, 06:06 AM I won a sweet gold coin treasrue chair today :) tyvm gpdot for a sweet quest with great prizes. :D I also got a sword magic pin from riding the Alice ride and when I used it I pulled the sword and got a Matterhorn pin. So today was my lucky day thanks to you! :D

You used a mule. I can tell because of the way the font appears. GPDOT asked everyone not to do that, so everyone can get a prize
gpdot 09-12-2007, 06:48 AM The_phoenix, take it easy.
That is super :)
Thanks superbillyhill and glad you won something nice.
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 06:58 AM I'm sorry, but nowadays you can't trust anyone. And Im still pretty mad that people cheated on GPDOT's Quest. But why would he have two accounts in the same room? It doesn't make sense.
- takes a deep breath - time for my yoga excercises...
SuperBillyHill 09-12-2007, 07:00 AM But why would he have two accounts in the same room? It doesn't make sense. Come visit granacci's secret garden sometime and you'll see why. :) Just trying to make VMK a more - magical - place is all. ;)

That's his main account, and he had another account signed on which was used as a character in one of my rooms. While both accounts were on, he saw that this wonderful quest was open, and decided to play it while the other account was in my room. While on the quest, the account in my room disconnected causing the messed up type. No mule was used on the quest, and I think you shouldn't accuse people of something unless you know the entire story.
Not all people on VMK are dishonest, and use accounts just to obtain items and take advantage of people. The person you are accusing of using mules wouldn't take advantage of anyone.
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 07:02 AM So he used the mule to keep the room open? Ahhhhhh... I get it now! But shouldn't he like..i dunno... explain so people dont make the same mistake i made?
gpdot 09-12-2007, 07:06 AM I would very much like to see the secret garden.
I am familiar with the type problem. I think it has happened to most when we try to do more than one thing at a time or be more than one place at the same time. I appreciate the_phoenix's zeal and friendship, but I also realize not everyone is out for themselves. Please accept my apologies to all parties.
Thank you and have a good night
GPDOT
SuperBillyHill 09-12-2007, 07:07 AM So he used the mule to keep the room open? Ahhhhhh... I get it now! Well, not exactly. It's a little more - magical - than that. And I don't feel any need to explain when I'm not doing anything wrong. :) Sometimes things can appear a certain way depending oh how you look at them. I choose to look for the good instead of the bad. :) But's that's enough off topic discussion for me. Back on topic: I still think this is a great quest and the quest start room is a very original design for a castle and looks great and the room is very player friendly. That's why I nominated it for best quest and I think everyone else should too. :D
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 07:08 AM Here is the link to the secret garden. Its awesome!

My font looks like that when I use explorer window that doesn't mean it's a mule. I only play my main character in explorer so I can get my daily credits on VMK Pal.
GPDot sorry for all the trouble you have had. I had the distinct pleasure of going through a couple of your rides. Very creative I must say. I have also enjoyed your costume designs. Hope it gets better for you! I haven't done your quest but after all the good comments I will look for it. And NO I won't use a mule. :)
gpdot 09-12-2007, 03:14 PM I did your quest tonight and thought it was great. Finding those clovers was........so much fun! :Tongue: I got the Space Mountain sign pin - Thank you very much!

It will be open again tonight if you want to ride.
Thanks for questing.

Thank you nickky37, I have changed the quest so that the more rare items are no longer in the quest. There are good things like pirates, quest items, and most prizes are worth about 1000 credits.
The rarer will be gifted upon acts of kindness through out the park. I was lurking a bit last night and was able to gift 3 people for answering questions for others who asked and generally being good citizens in VMK.
I hope you get a chance to make it to the quest, and thanks again.
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 03:16 PM So now it's "Dreams Month: The GPDOT experience"
nickky37 09-12-2007, 03:29 PM That is a really neat way to do it! And it's always fun to give something unexpected to someone.
the_phoenix 09-12-2007, 03:41 PM Well just dont do it because you see GPDOT. He's gonna be hiding and giving prizes to the helpful people.
flyingdonkeey 09-12-2007, 04:29 PM GPDOT rocks!! Not only was the quest actually fun to do, and the prizes amazing,, but i have had a lot of fun just hanging around in the room, talking to people. I am so glad he did this:)
coolJamz 09-13-2007, 02:17 AM gpdot, can you open it now? i didn't get a chance to play it yet :'(
Sapphire Jem Stone 09-13-2007, 02:20 AM Ooh, I've done your quest before! I have to say, I love that room, very creative! I might just have to pop in some time and do it again!
sunnyskye 09-13-2007, 08:18 PM Will you be hiding in the rooms that are in the quest, or will you be all over? Just wondering, in case I see you :)
gpdot 09-14-2007, 02:10 AM Will you be hiding in the rooms that are in the quest, or will you be all over? Just wondering, in case I see you :)
Everywhere, but do something nice because it's right not for a prize.
I have awarded over 1,200 prizes, but I can't get on VMK now...
I just refilled the Kiosk (another 200) and turned it on before I was disconnected.
mickey0794 09-14-2007, 02:11 AM GPDOT\
thanks for the 2 everest chairs!
I wish i could get in vmk and play it :(
gpdot 09-15-2007, 04:29 AM You are welcome and thank you for saying thanks.
It's open for a bit
mickey0794 09-15-2007, 04:35 AM lol No problem :) i naturally say thank you when someone gives me something, I cant even think about not doing it :)
FrostyPenguins 09-15-2007, 02:53 PM nice quest very good thanks for makin it
gpdot 09-15-2007, 07:22 PM Thanks for stopping bye, hope you enjoyed it.
MsBored 09-15-2007, 07:36 PM I'm There Right Now Its Awesome! I'm Lavenderbluesky!
I'm doing the quest! its fun!
evina 09-15-2007, 08:59 PM it seems a little difficult with all the dreams campers to see the things you need to pick up
mickey0794 09-15-2007, 09:40 PM lol well i went in and the kiosk is dead ( all prizes gone ) I was a second too late I was told, LOL
gpdot 09-15-2007, 10:39 PM The quest kiosk is loaded with another 200 prizes and I am open for now.
Good luck.
When this is gone I will have given out over 1600 dreams. :)
Destination 09-15-2007, 10:46 PM Is this the last time to play?
Jezibabe 09-16-2007, 12:51 AM Thanks for opening again, I am really enjoying doing this quest!
Thought I had better post something before I get accused of not playing fair: Yes, both of my characters are in the quest machine top5, however, my sister has tried twice to do this quest but it has always finished before she could complete it because it takes so long for our computer to reboot/log back on. I had two characters on for this dream event, so I let her "borrow" my old character to play this quest - the item she won was transferred to her account afterwards (as was the matterhorn pin she won from the ride - she was thrilled about that, lol). We both won the Alice Shrub ;)

sunnyskye 09-17-2007, 10:55 PM I would like to play it also :)
coolJamz 09-17-2007, 11:05 PM I wanna Play!
gpdot 09-18-2007, 03:26 PM It was open all night last night (5-10 VMK time).
Tonight will be the last night...
gabyta 09-18-2007, 03:34 PM I finally did it!!!!
I got a green pirate chair :)
Great quest :) the clovers almost drove me crazy :) :)
Jezibabe 09-18-2007, 04:05 PM It has been a great quest and one I have thoroughly enjoyed playing. I shall try to do it for the last time tonight, but I hope it is slightly earlier as 5-10pm VMK is 1-6am for me (just a little bit to late, lol). Thanks very much for doing this gpdot, it has been fun :)
gpdot 09-18-2007, 08:45 PM I will open for the last time tonight.
As of this point I have had over 2000 prize winners (Most getting more than one item unless it was rare, and in some cases they got more than a single item too).
All of them being either rare or in the vicinity of 1000 credits worth. Some of the rare were entire outfits or entire pin sets; as well as about 10 bat magic pins.
By my calculations this is the equivalent of more than 2 million credits worth of prizes.
I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the quest. I don't think another like this will happen for some time.
Thanks
GPDOT
sunnyskye 09-18-2007, 08:47 PM Wow that was so nice of you! 2 million credits? Whoah.
TravisSch 09-18-2007, 08:54 PM This was a fun quest. I enjoyed playing every minute of it! :)
Are you leaving VMK by the way?
gpdot 09-19-2007, 05:14 AM Thanks all the quest gave it's last prize at 9:00 VMK time tonight.
Special thanks to Mistey, Niikii, the_phoenix, flyingdonkeey, and TopazR for spending time to night and for most, spending hours over the past several days. I really appreciate your support!

gpdot 09-28-2007, 01:35 AM It's open for the last time!
I have
Halloween
Hats (lots of hats)
Kali River Couch full
Magenta Haunted Organ (HM quest)
and a lot of other quest too
sue555 09-28-2007, 03:54 AM I just wanted to say Thank YOU! I have been bored this month and found playing your quest gave me away of doing something fun while dream squad was out. I brought me around VMK in a fun way. I haven't seen a host yet this month and it's almost over but thanks to you I won the Haunted Mansion Clock and am not so upset about not seeing a host. I voted for you to get best quest and told them how you made my dream come true! Thanks again!
gpdot 10-10-2007, 10:40 AM I will not re-link/upload all of these images. Consider the content lost and the thread closed.
