It says what she'll trade the pins for in the info guys. When you get in, please take a picture of the room and her pins (the info says what she's wearing are the pins that are up for trade I think).

yes, you can offer any series pin (this weekend's pin included) and ask her what you want from what she is wearing

AceGoalkeeper
10-06-2007, 03:41 PM
It's open for almost 3 hours still, I think people over 100 can make it in. I don't know about myself though, i'm 651 right now rofl.

wonderful, ppl have to take pics and slow the line. when you get in can you ask her to move ppl along? i missed host pin trades last time, i don't wanna miss again.

Golfguy

My friend has been in there I'm pretty sure it's Haunted Mansion pins and last year's halloween pins..
Well Haunted Mansion pins are there all I know is Ezra because that's what my friend wanted..
I'm 81 in line..

You pull up her pins, take the picture while you're waiting for the people in front of you to trade. It doesn't slow down the line at all.

AceGoalkeeper
10-06-2007, 03:45 PM

Well, the info said a " halloween pin you missed ". I guess it's difficult to tell. Somebody needs to take a picture of her pins for us.

let me guess ppl are sitting and trying to chat with her? see that's the bad thing about these rooms, nobody thinks of other players in line. i don't mean to sound harsh. i just don't want to miss out because someone has to chat with one person, alongside a bunch of other people doing the same thing.

The Hosts aren't willing to let anyone stay and talk :) If you don't leave you'll just get booted. :)

I don't think that fin will let anyone stay there and chat, when she opens a trade room she asks everyone to be ready to trade, knowing what do you want, etc.
The longest thing she would say is hi hi and thank you.
Good luck everyone!

Khaki_footed
10-06-2007, 03:52 PM
is she trading one pin at a time, or can you do two? i've got the new pin as well as a halloween bat pin i'd like to trade for mansion pins.

Jezibabe
10-06-2007, 03:52 PM
Yes, I had dreadful lag when the Host event came. I am 259 in line (my worst yet) :( Somehow I am not going to make it. Good luck everybody else!

EDIT: Khaki_footed - you are only allowed to do one pin. If you want to trade a second, either get back in line (hah!) or wait until next week.

LuckyJazz
10-06-2007, 03:53 PM
If y'all haven't noticed, there is only 10 players inside the room. Isn't there supposed to be 15 players in a room? There's probably 10 players in there due to lag if there was more inside.

I Agree with gabyta. Fin is not the kind of host that lets people sit and chat, ESPECIALLY in trade rooms. Teleporter games she'll chat for about a minute then make you leave. Now, Lily on the other hand... She'll let you chat FOREVER.

If y'all haven't noticed, there is only 10 players inside the room. Isn't there supposed to be 15 players in a room? There's probably 10 players in there due to lag if there was more inside.

Hmm.. Well the hosts can change the room limit, HOST_Sparky raised the limit at CL_CaliDreamin's Club33 Party.

Golfguy
10-06-2007, 03:56 PM
During Pin Events it is set down to 10 people for my guess is so the host doesn't have alot of lag..

I got in line at 42 and I'm now 16, 25 minutes later. That means she's averaging about one person per minute, meaning in three hours she should make it through about 180 people.

of course that's just an estimate so if you are 181 don't drop out just because of what i said! LOL

LuckyJazz
10-06-2007, 04:01 PM

yes, since it's a series pin you can offer it..

They really should have all the hosts working for trade events instead of just one host. It's really bad when if you don't get in line within the first 5 seconds (probably more like 2) of opening, you have no chance of getting in. I doesn't help that they seem to start the trading session blazing and then slow to a snail's pace.

JeanPierre
10-06-2007, 07:05 PM
It should be called Wickedly Slow Trades! :11: LOL:h-wink: I entered line at 404 when room first opened and didn't make it inside. How many players do you think actually had the opportunity to trade with Phinny? My guess is 300-350 players, maybe. What do you think?

Jezibabe
10-06-2007, 07:10 PM

Has anyone noticed this on the Community Calendar? Can't believe they would do this, especially since they normally run so slow that not everyone can get in. If they're going to have it during the month, they should do it every week unless there is a special event.

I noticed someone asked this same question. They asked Fin at last night's event and she said she was taking a little vacation. HOST_Lily will open up her quest on Sunday. :)

GraspingClaw
10-12-2007, 09:19 PM
Yeah, asked Fin about it in the Host game. She said the quest would be open but the trade event wouldn't. She'll be back in five days, and the trade event will be back on next Saturday.

I posted this above, but straight from Fin herself, there will be no Wickedly Cool Trades tomorrow. Not with her as a host, not with anyone else as a host. You'll just have to wait until next week, unfortunately.

GraspingClaw

I thought trade events were moving quicker now that we have the new inventory system, but that's not the case today. It seemed to go at a much faster pace the first week.

Ridiculous yet again. It's bad enough only about 200 people out of thousands can get in when they have this event but then they close it during this time? They knew that people wanted this one especially since last week's was cancelled. I just don't understand the logic with the things in this game sometimes

Weird thing is, we never got that kind of message. We would away get a message saying they need to close to make some enhancements or something like that. Here they're saying they are upgrading. Wonder if it means anything special? :D

Well, you could try to be the first one in VMK. Then go straight to the room if it's open. I can't though, I have to run.

rc678nj
10-20-2007, 03:49 PM
They really should just leave the trade thing open all day and just switch off hosts every few hours, especially if they pull stunts like this.

If you end up getting the wrong pin, maybe you should send a message to Contact Us saying you wanted to get this pin but got a different one because of the extreme lag.

For me, its a downgrade. Lets just say I'm not a happy camper. I got about 20 more people ahead of me then before, but at least I think I will get in. (I hope...)

I'm in the room right now. I noticed there's a 10 person limit, as opposed to the regular 15 (I think), but trades are happening pretty quickly. Hopefully this will move a lot faster now that they've "upgraded".

I'm estimating a rate of about two a minute. And we have what two hours and ten minutes left, so 130, maybe 260 can still make it through, as long as lag doesn't get too long.

SemmaSweetie

for me anyways, some ppl might be DCin or quitting the line :rolleyes:

Yeah but it's Sunday for one and the game is never stable as well as the fact that trades take longer than a quest kiosk, etc so it will be less people allowed in for that. Yet another game I wait for no reason for. They should just give everyone a pin or something for their lack of organisation

Oh, I was using my computer time, because VMK normally runs at about the same minute-wise, so I used that for the ten minutes, plus of course the 2 hours we still had to go.

She could boot, but then that would put a bad impression on her.

64 in line :/

Ah but you can. Get another host in to help you move those along whilst another is doing the trades or just like someone else mentioned in the thread, open a few more rooms to accomodate everyone. It's not rocket science. It's just wrong for those who wait and don't get the chance to get in. It seems there are thousands when you look at the numbers

Princessannanicole

I was thinking she could boot. Give them the pin and boot, just moves faster and I personally wouldn't mind considering it would be a rather obvious technique to move the line faster, rather than as a slight against you. 189 and counting down. Thank goodness it's moving faster than before.

Khaki_footed
10-20-2007, 04:33 PM
she is trading the host pins and series pins. i'll be corrected if i'm off on this info. any of the pins that are part of the weekend series you can trade to her or a host pin. again if my info is off a bit, i'll be corrected. this was also covered on page 5 or so.

GraspingClaw
10-20-2007, 04:34 PM

It says in Phinny's room information that it needs to either be a Series pin purchased from the Emporium, a Host pin, or a Quest pin (either in-game or in-park would work).

I was thinking she could boot. Give them the pin and boot, just moves faster and I personally wouldn't mind considering it would be a rather obvious technique to move the line faster, rather than as a slight against you. That would actually slow the room down slightly. So long as Fin is trading with someone as much as possible, it doesn't matter if someone who's already traded with her doesn't leave immediately; for the people behind him or her, that just means a little more time waiting in the line and a little less time waiting in the room. So there's no reason for her to take the extra time to boot someone (when she could be starting another trade) unless that person just refuses to leave.

About an hour and 50 minutes, so around 110 minutes, you'll be cutting it close.

disneyzoodude

maybe even about 46 minutes. At this rate, one person could take 30 seconds for one eprson, and 2 mintues for another

It has started slowing back down, now, though. Great, just great. Really hope I can get in, I'm at 161 and it looked pretty good for a while. Is lag increasing in the room again?

Yeah, but I only need two more pins to complete my haunted mansion set, and if I could get on today and tomorrow, I could complete it, although I don't think I will. I really thought I could, too, until about 7-8 minutes when she disconnected and lost a lot of people going through. Of course, it's still moving really, really slowly as compared to before even now.

Did they even send a message out to everyone that tomorrow's event would be a trade event? It would be kind of unfair to assume that everyone would find out via word of mouth. If I weren't a member of this forum, I would have never found out. Also, they really should keep track of who was able to get in a trade today. This way, they can only allow people who were unsuccessful today to trade tomorrow.
