View Full Version : Magical Pin Switch Trick Event
vmkgirl28 01-14-2008, 04:42 PM Hey this is the event that is supposed to be open already. It seems exciting where we give the host a pin and it magically changes lol
Oh well its not yet open.
Whenever anyone is in please post here and if you can obtain a picture that would be great! :)
:wave2:
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 04:43 PM I am surprised it isn't open yet. Maybe the Host is getting the pins/room ready? Not a very good start for the first event of the month.
Stunt 01-14-2008, 04:44 PM Yeah what's going on?
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 04:46 PM Perhaps the event magically disappeared?
Stunt 01-14-2008, 04:47 PM NEW: NOTHING MAGIC!
You can't see it but you know you've got it!
Just say the magic word Nothing! and watch as Nothing happens--Amazing!
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 04:48 PM You know, the calendar does say it's a "trick." They tricked us into thinking there would be an event!
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 04:50 PM I bet tonight's event will be a trick too!
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 04:51 PM Is there usually an event at 9:30am on a weekday? That seemed odd to me.
lscott933 01-14-2008, 04:51 PM they told me a tech problem and will open in a minute
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 04:52 PM There have been some, yes.
Who told you it was a "tech" problem? Did you Call for Help?
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 04:52 PM they told me a tech problem and will open in a minute
Who is they? The VMK Staff?
lscott933 01-14-2008, 04:53 PM yes i call for help the staff said that
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 04:54 PM yes i call for help the staff said that
Well, at least they didn't ban you for calling for help.
vmkgirl28 01-14-2008, 04:54 PM Maybe they are running after the bunnies ;)
mktourist 01-14-2008, 04:54 PM Maybe they are preparing us for Host Detector Magic.
wdmountie 01-14-2008, 04:54 PM event is open
NicoleMarie 01-14-2008, 04:54 PM Maybe they decided to suspend all Host Events until judging is complete. :Question1:
EDIT: Great! I missed getting in on time due to posting on here. :RedFaced: I hate when they open rooms late and then don't make up for it by keeping them open past the ending time. This room opened up almost 20 minutes late and it's only a 2 hour event! GRRR VMK! Way to spread the magic! :ThumbsDown:
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 04:57 PM Did they say anything else? Like in 5 minutes or 30? I wonder if it will stay open later?
I am first in, she said she will keep it open a little longer.
Stunt 01-14-2008, 04:57 PM First one in post a picture and prize info... please!
wdmountie 01-14-2008, 04:58 PM i am 46 right now....does anyone know what kind of pins she accepts? is it weekend or can we just have a 25 credit one at the emporium?
slinkyman 01-14-2008, 04:59 PM I am 500 and something.. I wish VMK didn't drop out on my right when it opened. Oh it's going to be a wonderful day..
TLynn 01-14-2008, 05:00 PM The tough part about this event is that it is only scheduled to run for two hours unlike Fin's three hour pin trade events. I wonder how quickly they will be able to get people through. :Question2: And then to top it off it started late.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:00 PM I'm number 61, and the queue hasn't moved since I entered it. What's going on in there, Sky?
madamecat 01-14-2008, 05:00 PM Has anyone moved? I have been at the same position for 9 minutes:(
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 05:01 PM Hula had a little trouble with the loading. It took her a while before she opened the gate and let me enter. But good thing is, I traded her a Minnie Pin and got a Mickey Ice Cream Pin! She said her internet crashed.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:02 PM We're waiting all this time for Ice Cream Pins?
Anybody else miss the days of no Host events?
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 05:02 PM I'm at 70.
My Dad is in the room, VMK was having internet problems, but Hula is there now.
Hula is trading you, nobody is coming out saying what you got... I'll post back when he trades. :)
EDIT: Mickey Bar pin? For goodness sake. 2 months with no host games and we get this?
Nobody else is coming in the room for some reason..
I'm at 70.
My Dad is in the room, VMK was having internet problems, but Hula is there now.
Hula is trading you, nobody is coming out saying what you got... I'll post back when he trades. :)
EDIT: Mickey Bar pin? Give me a break, we want something better :| I'll post back with what he got.
I agree...ice cream pin??
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:05 PM We could end up trading down in value? I don't want to get something worse than what I give!
Of course, this won't be a problem if the queue never moves.
vmkgirl28 01-14-2008, 05:06 PM Maybe every person gets a different random pin..
greenhpper 01-14-2008, 05:06 PM Not moving here either, hope I move soon.....so I can get my Mickey ice pop pin too! ;)
madamecat 01-14-2008, 05:06 PM We could end up trading down in value? I don't want to get something worse than what I give!
Of course, this won't be a problem if the queue never moves.
I agree with you. I am getting out of line seeing that another 5 minutes have passed and I have not moved. I don't want the same old stuff I already have in my inventory. Thanks for another great event VMK:(
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 05:07 PM I think someone should give Hula a magic pin and see what she gives.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:08 PM I'm still number 61. Why is the queue not moving? I'm anxious to trade my Bat magic for a New Orleans Jazz pin.
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 05:08 PM My Dad just gave her a tron lightcycle pin for a grand floridian pin.. I'm gonna give snowman magic and see what I get back.. :)
Still at 70, yet people are leaving the room.
Noobs. xD
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 05:09 PM Any room pics? I'm mostly getting out of line because of how far I am. :(
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:10 PM My Dad just gave her a tron lightcycle pin for a grand floridian pin.. I'm gonna give snowman magic and see what I get back.. :)
If you ever get into the room.
NicoleMarie 01-14-2008, 05:10 PM Is everyone getting a Mickey Ice Cream pin? This would be more "Magical" :pixiedust: if each person got a differnet pin. Don't ya think? :Question1:
greenhpper 01-14-2008, 05:10 PM She still taking Nemo 2 of 5 pins? ;)
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:11 PM I just moved three spots in the queue. Do you think that's because it's working or because three people gave up and quit waiting?
Any room pics? I'm mostly getting out of line because of how far I am. :(
man...i'm still 130 something in line...am i even gonna make it in? and it didn't give me the option for a fastpass!! :(
Jezibabe 01-14-2008, 05:12 PM She still taking Nemo 2 of 5 pins? ;)
I hope so.. that is what I was planning on giving :Taking:
I hope so.. that is what I was planning on giving :Taking:
hehe me too!
vmkgirl28 01-14-2008, 05:13 PM Is everyone getting a Mickey Ice Cream pin? This would be more "Magical" :pixiedust: if each person got a differnet pin. Don't ya think? :Question1:
Everyone is getting a different pin sunnyskye traded Minnie Pin and got a Mickey Ice Cream Pin.
Stitchmad's dad traded: tron lightcycle pin for a grand floridian pin
so it is "Magical" :mickey:
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 05:13 PM I think you'll get a better pin depending on what you give. I wonder if she'll give me a confetti for my snowman. I'll find out in 64 places?
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:13 PM Prisoner should open his game again. It's a lot better than this Host garbage.
slinkyman 01-14-2008, 05:15 PM Prisoner should open his game again. It's a lot better than this Host garbage.
What garbage? It is just like how it explains on the Calendar page.. except that it was late.
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 05:16 PM My friend traded Hula a Matterhorn pin and she got an ATIS pin in return.
BaldEagleBob 01-14-2008, 05:17 PM I'd hate to trade rare and get some recent buyable!
BTW, it's moving painfully slow. 10 spots in 20 minutes is pretty sad.
TravisSch, was that a reliable source? If so, this could be fun!
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:17 PM Ok, so they're not all Ice Cream pins. But I'm still not excited.
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 05:18 PM I wonder what would happen if you put the pin up for trade, and she put up a pin you didn't like, then you closed trade and left? Would she get mad?
TheRealPumpkinQueen 01-14-2008, 05:19 PM Well, you all wonder why we have not had host games ..........perhaps bc everytime we do Y'all whine no matter what they do.
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 05:19 PM ATIS Pin, well they have been out in HOST Trades since cave men. Unless it's eye, I'm not bothered with those pins.
I wonder if she will give me eye for Stitch Pin? xD
I wonder what would happen if you put the pin up for trade, and she put up a pin you didn't like, then you closed trade and left? Would she get mad?
Just say you don't think it's a fair trade. :)
Jezibabe 01-14-2008, 05:20 PM I wonder what would happen if you put the pin up for trade, and she put up a pin you didn't like, then you closed trade and left? Would she get mad?
LOL.. or even give her a valuable pin and she gives a newish one.. could you call her a scammer? (jk)
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 05:21 PM TravisSch, was that a reliable source? If so, this could be fun!
My friend ForeverWDW told me this. :)
By the pin, the pin she got was ATIS Snowflakes. :)
Wyndale 01-14-2008, 05:22 PM I'm not complaining, I just thought...(Silly me!)...that the way it read, she'd decided what pin to take, and then she'd give you magic...(I said I was silly!)
slinkyman 01-14-2008, 05:25 PM Well I have moved over 50 people but I was at 500 so people might have left the line lol
BaldEagleBob 01-14-2008, 05:26 PM LOL.. or even give her a valuable pin and she gives a newish one.. could you call her a scammer? (jk)
That one got me laughing! Thanks, Jez!:smiley23:
greenhpper 01-14-2008, 05:26 PM I was under the impression that it is RANDOM regardless of the pin you give, so long as the pin you trade her is acceptable. So, therefore, you could in theory get a pin that is less valuable then the one you traded. However, my guess is that the pins she has are all the ones that they commonly have traded in these events before.
Wyndale 01-14-2008, 05:29 PM Yes, I think you must be right, because I started out 188, and the current # is 162.
vmkgirl28 01-14-2008, 05:30 PM Can someone post a pic if you can
CooledCoyote 01-14-2008, 05:32 PM Remember VMK has to have events that newer players can enjoy too, I imagine there are new players trading for a pin today they never knew existed! These are the players excited to get a Mickey Ice Cream Bar pin or whatever.
SorcererDonald16 01-14-2008, 05:34 PM I started out #3 in the queue. I too traded a Matterhorn HOST pin to Hula, and I got a Toucan pin in return. :Smile:
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:41 PM Well, you all wonder why we have not had host games ..........perhaps bc everytime we do Y'all whine no matter what they do.
I'd complain less if the wait weren't so long.
NicoleMarie 01-14-2008, 05:51 PM What I have a problem with is the Event not starting on time. Then you end of click, click, clicking for 20 minutes. VMK needs to wise up and give this type of event to a Host who has no connection issues and can start on time. JMHO :wave2:

Neoteny 01-14-2008, 05:53 PM Anybody try trading magic yet?
gshawen 01-14-2008, 05:59 PM Someone try and trade a NPC pin.
dreamytime 01-14-2008, 06:03 PM I traded a heart from last Valentine's Day and got a tomorrowland submarine pin.
BaldEagleBob 01-14-2008, 06:04 PM Wow, this queue has only moved 42 spots in more than an hour. That is truly discouraging.:12:
BonoGirl 01-14-2008, 06:04 PM Someone try and trade a NPC pin.
Trading a ned pin will be a waste of the people who are waiting in lines time, because it is not the appropriate pin to be trading.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 06:04 PM Hmm... I do have this ATIS Eye pin just sitting here....
TLynn 01-14-2008, 06:05 PM Over an hour of waiting and I crashed in line... wasn't even brave enough to try to get a pass and still crashed just sitting there. :Unhappy: I was finally up to about 20 left in front of me.
wdmountie 01-14-2008, 06:08 PM well i was doing great..i was 20 in line and my internet crashed...oh well maybe next time. gl all
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 06:09 PM Did anyone see in the pic that Hula was wearing unlimited use Treasure Detector Magic? I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. :)
orcafan8 01-14-2008, 06:11 PM does anyone know if anyone has tried trading magic yet? I have heard that ppl have gotten magic, but i am debating if i should trade my storm, i am like 2 in queue?
dreamytime 01-14-2008, 06:11 PM hula just dc btw..
gshawen 01-14-2008, 06:12 PM Trading a ned pin will be a waste of the people who are waiting in lines time, because it is not the appropriate pin to be trading.
The room title says "trade a pin with host hula. Give her a pin and she will magically make it change to a different pin. No choice plz, its up to the magic which you will get."
No where does it say what pins we have to trade or cannot trade, and we get no choice in what we get, so we should be able to trade any pins.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 06:13 PM hula just dc btw..
I wonder if this is a sign of things to come.
BaldEagleBob 01-14-2008, 06:14 PM Hmm... I do have this ATIS Eye pin just sitting here....
Well, if you don't get a chance to trade with Hula, come find me and I will "magically" switch it for you, buddy!..heh, heh! :smiley14:
madamecat 01-14-2008, 06:23 PM Okay I waited it out. Wait time was 1 hour and 9 minutes and I started at #18 in line. Traded a Typhoon Lagoon Pin which was from a previous host game and received an ATIS Ride Through in return. Very happy with my trade. Hula had some cute catch phrases to say as well!
greenhpper 01-14-2008, 06:23 PM I received a toucan pin for my Nemo 2 of 5 pin. :) I'm too cheap to trade magic.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 06:25 PM Wait time was 1 hour and 9 minutes and I started at #18 in line.
That's just ridiculous. Why do we put up with this again?
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 06:27 PM For everyone complaining, this is well worth it. I got a Dreams Fairy Pin for giving her a Buried in Treasure Magic Pin! At first she said keep it, but I said I had more magic, so she put up that pin and asked if I had that one. I was very happy, as I did not have that pin and it is so cute!
orcafan8 01-14-2008, 06:28 PM i got toucan for my casey jr. pin
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 06:32 PM My Mum just gave Club 33 pin for a Valentines 06 Pin.
Hula put in the Pin at exactly the same time she put the Club 33 pin in.. I think she is trying to rush through.
Wonder what I'll get for my snowman. 12 right now.
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 06:33 PM We are now into extended time as Hula said she was going to do. I wonder how much extra time there is going to be. 20 minutes?
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 06:34 PM I'm still in the queue. I hope she doesn't close it yet!
:( probably not enough for me. still 60 something in line. This should be a 3 hour event like fin's is.
GoofyGeggy 01-14-2008, 06:36 PM Hula made my day! Thanks for the pin, and for being such a wonderful host.
Woot woot for Hula
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 06:36 PM It should be another hour, because my other character went in and Hula was missing! I don't think she was gone for that long, but it still takes up time. Omg...she got a Tink Pin?! Sweet! What did you get GoofyGeggy?
sunday_monkey 01-14-2008, 06:37 PM Hula had a little trouble with the loading. It took her a while before she opened the gate and let me enter. But good thing is, I traded her a Minnie Pin and got a Mickey Ice Cream Pin! She said her internet crashed.
For everyone complaining, this is well worth it. I got a Dreams Fairy Pin for giving her a Buried in Treasure Magic Pin! At first she said keep it, but I said I had more magic, so she put up that pin and asked if I had that one. I was very happy, as I did not have that pin and it is so cute!
Wow, you were lucky enough to get in twice?! Very cool about the Dreams Fairy Pin!
BeachSandy 01-14-2008, 06:37 PM the magic of Hula gave to me tomorrowland skyway retro pin and one time use treasure magic. Woot.
TravisSch 01-14-2008, 06:38 PM the magic of Hula gave to me tomorrowland skyway retro pin and one time use treasure magic. Woot.
Woot Woot! I wonder if Hula is giving away treasure magic to make up for lost time? :)
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 06:39 PM Wow, Treasure Magic is always nice. :) No, I did not get in twice, it was another account. I wanted to see if she would take magic, because I thought of that afterwards.
Lucky ducks! :( wish i could make it in. I'm not giving up though!
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 06:50 PM I traded a Dumbo pin for a People Mover pin. I had tried to trade Pirate Magic, but Hula said she didn't want it, so I changed. In all, I don't think it was worth the two-hour wait.
And it's over :( No pin for me today. That will teach me to look at the forums while waiting for a room.
wdmountie 01-14-2008, 06:54 PM i can't believe that hula didn't even get through 100 people in that two hour span. I think Phinny needs to trade the pins...lol
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 06:55 PM Traded snowman magic for:
1 x Submarine Voyage 5/5
1 x Single Use Treasure.
Woot!!! :)
sunnyskye 01-14-2008, 06:55 PM i can't believe that hula didn't even get through 100 people in that two hour span. I think Phinny needs to trade the pins...lol
Better yet, two hosts. Even better, two rooms open, with two hosts in each. They could make two lines, and people would hop on either one and it would take them to either host.
wdmountie 01-14-2008, 06:57 PM Better yet, two hosts. Even better, two rooms open, with two hosts in each. They could make two lines, and people would hop on either one and it would take them to either host.
that would be GREAT!
gshawen 01-14-2008, 07:08 PM I gave her an Esmeralda pin(NPC) and got back a Grand Floridian. Woot Thanks Hula!
Greenway 01-14-2008, 07:09 PM Better yet, two hosts. Even better, two rooms open, with two hosts in each. They could make two lines, and people would hop on either one and it would take them to either host.
Agreed. I think this suggestion would work great.
I checked to see if the room was open about 10 minutes after it was supposed to start and no host. I checked about three minutes later and was #396 in line. I was about #200 when the room closed.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 07:13 PM Better yet, two hosts. Even better, two rooms open, with two hosts in each. They could make two lines, and people would hop on either one and it would take them to either host.
Better still: No hosts, no rooms, no queues, and just put a random pin into the inventory of every player online at the time of the event.
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 07:13 PM If anyone wanted a picture of the room empty, here it is. I managed to stay in until everyone had left. Plus, I found the all-you-can-eat cookies! :)
http://xs123.******/xs123/08031/hulatrades462.jpg
LadyBella 01-14-2008, 07:16 PM when i got in the room, after starting with 36 ahead of me and spending and hour and a half in line, i had trouble clicking the ride start for the line. Then when it was my turn to trade with hula, i gave her a pluto ornament and got a retro flying saucer pin in return.
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 07:19 PM Hula did compliment me on my lanyard. That felt good.
Jezibabe 01-14-2008, 07:27 PM I was 60 in line right at the beginning and I think only another 15 got in behind me, so 75 people made it in 2 hours. Worth thinking about for next week. I managed to get a Toucan pin :)
DanaAirFairy 01-14-2008, 07:29 PM Sounds like a awesome event! Sadly when they ahd this evcent i was in schoool, well that's not cool vmk lol
ACECpt.RICH 01-14-2008, 07:32 PM Better still: No hosts, no rooms, no queues, and just put a random pin into the inventory of every player online at the time of the event.
Now this is a good idea :)
Wondermanforever 01-14-2008, 07:37 PM Whoah stitchmad! you got single use treasure?
SpinMarty 01-14-2008, 08:00 PM If anyone wanted a picture of the room empty, here it is. I managed to stay in until everyone had left. Plus, I found the all-you-can-eat cookies! :)

Hmm Peter Pan ride starts and that doesn't look like the red rocking chair or do my eyes deceive me?
http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Haunted_Mansion_Rocking_Chair_Red
mickey0794 01-14-2008, 08:01 PM I say they open it for half the day.....
I'm in a time zone that will never be able to get to this event. I usually dont like rare pins. but i mean, an NPC for a grand floridian is amazing @_@ I'd want to do pirates insider tour for ATIS snowflakes.
I wish they'd change the times.
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 08:14 PM Whoah stitchmad! you got single use treasure?
Yes - Expires in 30 Days.
Hmm Peter Pan ride starts and that doesn't look like the red rocking chair or do my eyes deceive me?
http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Haunted_Mansion_Rocking_Chair_Red
I think it's the lighting of the room that makes it look different.
Anyway, I'm still in the room.. I think i should leave. LOL.
StitchRokcs 01-14-2008, 08:25 PM anyone notice this event happend when all the time zones in america were in school and at work O_o:Question1:
Neoteny 01-14-2008, 08:30 PM anyone notice this event happend when all the time zones in america were in school and at work O_o:Question1:
Yes, I did think that was rather unusual (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1889626&postcount=8).
PrincessSofia 01-14-2008, 08:32 PM I gave her an Esmeralda pin(NPC) and got back a Grand Floridian. Woot Thanks Hula!
What a great deal for you!
slinkyman 01-14-2008, 08:38 PM anyone notice this event happend when all the time zones in america were in school and at work O_o:Question1:
Well maybe they wanted to give other contries that play a chance?
StitchMad 01-14-2008, 08:49 PM That doesn't sound like them.
It sure doesn't, but hey I'm not arguing.
It's nice to have a proper EVENT on a weekday at a great time. :)
Just left the room 3 mins ago.. awesome. LOL
PrincessSofia 01-14-2008, 08:51 PM Yay, green Peter Pan Starts! :D
They were pretty starts! I wonder if we'll ever actually get them... By the way, what's with your signature?
gabyta 01-14-2008, 09:14 PM Hula made my day! Thanks for the pin, and for being such a wonderful host.
Woot woot for Hula
what did you get?
flaxygirl 01-14-2008, 10:40 PM Wow seemed like a cool event. I wish i could have gone but i had school.
jedibunny 01-14-2008, 10:43 PM i can't do anything that early! and its not like there is another pin event during a reasonable time! :():
myhorseawesome 01-14-2008, 11:24 PM I wish they had more host events during the week at this time. It fits into my schedule the best out of them all.
Kids on the east coast who have to go to bed by 9pm on a school night don't have much of a chance to play all those host events that start at 8:30pm est. Pretty much every Host event is inconvenient for somebody. It's nice they mixed it up this time around.
Extras 01-14-2008, 11:56 PM I traded a Dumbo pin for a People Mover pin. I had tried to trade Pirate Magic, but Hula said she didn't want it, so I changed. In all, I don't think it was worth the two-hour wait.
That's the last pin I need for my set, and skyway.
jedibunny 01-15-2008, 12:16 AM i think they should have more events and more of the same events so everybody gets to have a chance (and they need to be a bit more organized ;))
waterkid 01-16-2008, 08:32 AM I think I got lucky and was number 40 in the queue when I logged on. Took a little over an hour to get in. It was my first time in a host room. She gave me a tomorrowland retro pin 5 of 5 for the mickey quest pin (the first quest on Q button). I asked her if she had magic (since I don't have much), and she said no. I was happy with the trade!
It seems I was lucky to get in the room!
PirateInferno 01-21-2008, 03:28 PM It's starting soon.
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 03:34 PM Its Late :(
BaseballStarz 01-21-2008, 03:35 PM i don't like hula very much anymore..

maybe 30 minutes late..
PirateInferno 01-21-2008, 03:36 PM Like 5-7 minutes late so far.
greenpixiegirl 01-21-2008, 03:37 PM Uh, this event doesn't start for another hour? 9:30-11:30 Pacific...

sunnyskye 01-21-2008, 03:58 PM Omg you guys scared me! I thought I missed the event when I saw there were new posts!
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 03:58 PM So, the event starts at 12:30 AM EST?
TravisSch 01-21-2008, 04:00 PM So, the event starts at 12:30 AM EST?
Yep, it starts half an hour before VMK closing! *sarcasm* ;)
It actually starts 12:30 PM ET / 9:30 AM PT. ;)
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:01 PM Hehe, that's my bad ;) I mean't 12:30 PM EST., but I guess mistakes happen.
2starTagregory 01-21-2008, 04:04 PM HMM I will trade on star confetti, see what i get..

LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:06 PM HMM I will trade on star confetti, see what i get..
P.S. I hope it's inferno!
One of my friends got inferno for confettii last time

Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 04:11 PM not sure what i should trade. the weekend pins are still accepted right? i may drop a halloween pin.
CuteTabitha 01-21-2008, 04:12 PM Hmm, I MIGHT trade either snowman magic or confetti 1*. Should I? What if i get a bad pin? :I
2starTagregory 01-21-2008, 04:13 PM I posotive
And then he trade for full sparrow.. so all in all a good day for him
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:14 PM Maybe I should trade 1x Confetti Magic and see what I get @_@
sunnyskye 01-21-2008, 04:15 PM Hmm, I MIGHT trade either snowman magic or confetti 1*. Should I? What if i get a bad pin? :I
If you don't like it, close out of VMK. ;)
CuteTabitha 01-21-2008, 04:17 PM If you don't like it, close out of VMK. ;)
Won't Hula hunt meh down for wasting her time? LOL jk :D
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:18 PM If you don't like it, close out of VMK. ;)
lol i laugh hard when i saw this
BelieveNTheMagic 01-21-2008, 04:18 PM So, does this event start at 11:30 AM for central time?
2starTagregory 01-21-2008, 04:19 PM Thats What I Am Doing Copycat!
yea believe
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:21 PM hmm.. i'm trying to decide which one...
8 Minutes!
Hmm.. Maybe Jolly Roger or a random theme pin.
BelieveNTheMagic 01-21-2008, 04:23 PM Weird. I searched up HOST_ and a room had came up, but now it's not their.
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:24 PM Might as well put today's date for this event, huh? Anyways, seven more minutes until the event opens!
prisoner 01-21-2008, 04:24 PM The room is already open. Egad.
51 in line.
Huh? Doesn't look open to me. Are you sure you didn't see a normal player's room?
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:25 PM The room is already open. Egad.
51 in line.
It is??
- short -
BelieveNTheMagic 01-21-2008, 04:26 PM Huh? Doesn't look open to me. Are you sure you didn't see a normal player's room?
I had searched HOST_ and a room had came up. Not sure if Im in the right room.
I think Hula opened the wrong room. My pass went away.
SemmaSweetie 01-21-2008, 04:26 PM I Was 17 in line... but i believe Hula just closed the room... o_o....
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:26 PM Weird.. still nothing
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:27 PM Ok That happen when host closes room
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:30 PM Where is it?
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:31 PM AH my guest List got messed up :(
vmkgirl28 01-21-2008, 04:32 PM not just u >_<
SmartLittleLaser 01-21-2008, 04:34 PM YEA REALLY where is it?
EDIT: Got In Line At 74 And Wow Just Checked Lin And Its Like 600 Ppl There
CuteTabitha 01-21-2008, 04:35 PM She is 5 minutes late. Lalalalala... any time now.
EDIT its open!
im 317 in line..
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 04:35 PM it's there, just no icon next to it. in line at 256.
how many were able to get in last time? just so i can gauge when i might get in.
wdmountie 01-21-2008, 04:36 PM major lag today with the guest room! i got 356. I'm not getting in today...
cooldad210 01-21-2008, 04:37 PM i got in room at 95.
time to think of the pin to trade
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:37 PM I got in at 141.
???- Can you only trade magic pins with her or can you give her a regular one?
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:38 PM i have no clue if ill make it in. this is my first time doing this kinda of host event
EDIT: ugg! Lines going slow
Cindrbellas 01-21-2008, 04:38 PM Too much lag, no pin again for me today! :(
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:39 PM the line hasn't moved... unless i'm frozen.
You can give her a regular pin right?
ah hah! 141 went to 139!
It's moving!
EDIT- still 139 after 4 minutes 0_0
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:40 PM my line moved 1 first when it opened
EDIT :Mine just moved 1
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:40 PM I truly feel sorry for you guys who haven't done anything like this before. I wish everyone was able to trade a pin for a pin, or even a magic pin. Don't worry, you'll always have another time to trade with host.
greenpixiegirl 01-21-2008, 04:41 PM I'm in line at 52. I'll be trading a Hina Tiki pin, as that's the only pin I have left to get rid of LOL. ;)
NicoleMarie 01-21-2008, 04:41 PM Right now I'm in a queue for Hula's Magic Pin Switch Trick! Is that the right room? :Question1:
ACECpt.RICH 01-21-2008, 04:42 PM I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that if your not below one-hundred in queue, your dreaming if you think your going to get in, see as Hula is doing this.
Phinny usually speeds through it. I'm 666 right now, and the only way I'll make it in is if 655 leave the line.. it probably would have helped if the room opened on time.
greenpixiegirl 01-21-2008, 04:42 PM That's the room title I'm in the queue for. I'm hoping it's the right room - I didn't check the room owner, just got in line fast lol. :)
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:42 PM im not risking Dc or crash in in line not in any room
EDIT : you knows it hula bc it says hulas ;)
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 04:43 PM that's the right room. i've never gotten into one of these trade rooms either. i'd really like to get into one some time.
greenpixiegirl 01-21-2008, 04:43 PM They're loads of fun, although I haven't been in one yet where you get a random pin - I've always gotten to choose.
orcafan8 01-21-2008, 04:44 PM i will stay in line just in case by some crazy event i get in, but i know last week that i was in line for over an hour when i started in queue at 41. also, weren't ppl trading npc pins with hula last week?
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:44 PM that's the right room. i've never gotten into one of these trade rooms either. i'd really like to get into one some time.
Same with me
Line Moved! Twice!!
im 64
Soufriere_Hills 01-21-2008, 04:45 PM OMG it moved 1 again!! Woo hoo :RedFaced::banghead::smiley37:
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 04:45 PM Also, I think if you're about the lines of 150-, you *might* have a chance to get in. I'm not 100% sure though.
Soufriere_Hills 01-21-2008, 04:47 PM its moving faster!! good sign :D!!
ACECpt.RICH 01-21-2008, 04:48 PM Does anyone know if there is a second HOST in there, the line seems to be moving 10 times faster than last week
KAITYkaityKAITY 01-21-2008, 04:48 PM Woah.. I was 131 and then it switched to 132 and then quickly back to 131
I hope I get in.. I haven't done a pin event before
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 04:50 PM i'm down to about 238, though the lag is horrible. i bet ppl are getting the dc or dropping out from lag. i'll let it run it's course and not try jumping rooms quickly.
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:50 PM Moving Faster Now 49 WOOT
TravisSch 01-21-2008, 04:51 PM I just saw on another site that this is now a ride through and not a pin trading event. Can anyone confirm?
Soufriere_Hills 01-21-2008, 04:51 PM what is its all the host are there? it seems to be moving VERY faster than last week
greenhpper 01-21-2008, 04:51 PM Everyone gets Treasure magic as Hula is sick and VMK is going slow for her today. :)
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:52 PM Yay Magic~!!
they should put that in the room info
NicoleMarie 01-21-2008, 04:57 PM Everyone gets Treasure magic as Hula is sick and VMK is going slow for her today. :)
Do we still need to offer her a pin through the trade window? Or do we go through a porter to get the Treasure Dectector Magic? :Question1: Why are these Host Events always so confusing? :Question: LOL
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 04:58 PM Everyone gets Treasure magic as Hula is sick and VMK is going slow for her today. :)
so it is a ride through? just with a reward at the end? i'd almost rather have a series pin honestly. i like the treasure detector magic, but that seems to be all they are giving now. i don't want this to start anything negative, just stating my feeling.
ACECpt.RICH 01-21-2008, 04:59 PM It appears by the room picture you can come in, sit for a minute or two and then exit on a teleporter for your treasure magic.. hope Hula feels better!
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 04:59 PM Nvm What He said ^^^^
prisoner 01-21-2008, 04:59 PM There is no trading.
Just go for the royal teleporter near the penny presses and get your TD pin.
The info does not say this.
Hula is taking her time about saying this too.
figgyfan 01-21-2008, 05:00 PM is there no trading? I went in, saw the porter and went to it thinking i had to go through to get to hula and it took me right to the exit room. I did get treasure, but I am steaming that I missed my trade!!!
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 05:02 PM No, you did it right figgyfan. HOST_Hula isn't trading today, she is sick ;)
sunnyskye 01-21-2008, 05:02 PM Ok everyone, to speed things up, get in, and get out! lol
greenhpper 01-21-2008, 05:04 PM There are NO trades today. Simply send Hula a get well wish, cross the room and jump on the ride for a single use treasure detector magic. :)
figgyfan 01-21-2008, 05:05 PM well that makes me feel better...bummer she isnt trading, but I am glad I didn't miss it.
Sno Chic 01-21-2008, 05:05 PM what do you think my chances are of getting in? I'm 350 in line
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 05:05 PM Ok everyone, to speed things up, get in, and get out! lol
yeah, no kidding. it stinks that she doesn't feel well, it's never fun to be under the weather. she is in game though? ouch, working while sick is even rougher.
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 05:06 PM im 1st in line magic here i come!
CuteTabitha 01-21-2008, 05:06 PM Aww.. I really wanted to trade with her! BUMMER!!
bravenickdude 01-21-2008, 05:08 PM I was there on 1/21.
Here was a picture of the room,
http://xs123.******/xs123/08041/hula_magic_pin_switch_room297.jpg
A few chairs were then added, Hula was feeling a little ill so it was just go in the ride teleporter and get a prize. I got a single-use Treasure Detector, but im not sure if everybody else got the same.
~bravenickdude
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 05:08 PM Idk if this is true but someone said in there we are getting sea gull magic
CuteTabitha 01-21-2008, 05:09 PM Idk if this is true but someone said in there we are getting sea gull magic
Most likely a rumor lol :Taking:
-------------------------------
Im not getting in. Just got dc. What a waste!
greenhpper 01-21-2008, 05:12 PM yeah, no kidding. it stinks that she doesn't feel well, it's never fun to be under the weather. she is in game though? ouch, working while sick is even rougher.
Most adults ARE required to work as long as they only have a cold or mild flu. It still stinks but at least still is not so sick she can not function. :)
chaosinmotion 01-21-2008, 05:14 PM Great, lost connection and now can't log in.
sunnyskye 01-21-2008, 05:16 PM Lost connection too.
LuckyJazz 01-21-2008, 05:17 PM Arg, this makes me really mad. I was 154 in queue when the host event started and I made it to 64 in queue and I crashed :( Now, I have to get back in line behind 1,000+ players.
SemmaSweetie 01-21-2008, 05:17 PM I lost connection... and now i got sumthing saying..
503 Service connection....
[confused :rolleyes:]
piratemaiden 01-21-2008, 05:17 PM yea everything froze and then it crashed. And now when u try to log in it takes you to a search engine ...:Question1:
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 05:19 PM everyone should thank Hula for still doing the event. if i were her, i'd get them to have another host run it. i've experienced what you're talking about greenhpper, and trying to be "happy" while in that state at work is even tougher.
is everyone crashing? i'm still in my room just waiting.
Pinkglitter 01-21-2008, 05:20 PM No Sea Gull magic :(
bravenickdude 01-21-2008, 05:20 PM I think everybody gets the single-use treasure detector.
piratemaiden 01-21-2008, 05:21 PM anyone get back on yet?
chaosinmotion 01-21-2008, 05:22 PM anyone get back on yet?
NO, still getting the "host server is too busy" message
AlexKZ 01-21-2008, 05:24 PM I'm at 362, hopefully I make it in. :)
BaldEagleBob 01-21-2008, 05:25 PM *sigh*
Why have host events gotten so difficult? VMK seems to have problems doing just about anything lately.
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 05:26 PM i'm at 116 in line and i'm not moving rooms. i don't want to get a connection loss.
Soufriere_Hills 01-21-2008, 05:26 PM im getting on right now!! YAY!!
TheMagicWithin 01-21-2008, 05:28 PM I am still on. And I am at 700 something..
bravenickdude 01-21-2008, 05:34 PM I asked Hula and she said Bella is back!
bee2u 01-21-2008, 05:34 PM I'm still on, but the line seems to be stuck. I've been at 49 for quite a while now.
I asked Hula and she said Bella is back!
Yes, Bella has been doing the room makeovers for a few weeks now (and doing a great job, I might add).
wdmountie 01-21-2008, 05:36 PM crashed again. it seems my internet likes to take a dive everyday around 1pm est for me. so i went from 180 back to 1300. there is no way i am getting in today. not for a two hour event.
bravenickdude 01-21-2008, 05:41 PM Tip: If your really excited about a host event and you don't want to wait, well my strategy is.. If it's at like 9:30, repeatedly search HOST_ in the popular room search box. As soon as the room appears enter in quickly. Today I got in the room with no waiting!
Hope this helps!
chaosinmotion 01-21-2008, 05:41 PM i got back in and the line was over a thousand so I'm giving up. Good luck everybody else.
Foustketeer 01-21-2008, 05:50 PM Let's just say I have been waiting since about it opened. I'm only at 275 in queue. Started at like 600 something though.
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 05:50 PM i'm at 92 now, but it got slow again.
figgyfan 01-21-2008, 05:59 PM so has Bella taken over and is making trades now?
vanillabug 01-21-2008, 06:04 PM so has Bella taken over and is making trades now?
It's still Hula. She is not trading today, you just get on the ride for a Treasure Detector magic pin..:Smile:
bee2u 01-21-2008, 06:19 PM Tip: If your really excited about a host event and you don't want to wait, well my strategy is.. If it's at like 9:30, repeatedly search HOST_ in the popular room search box. As soon as the room appears enter in quickly. Today I got in the room with no waiting!
Hope this helps!
I always do this, but rarely make it in the line under 100.
Extras 01-21-2008, 06:39 PM Hula is sick, and probably sick of the players bugging her to trade. ;)
TheMagicWithin 01-21-2008, 06:49 PM Isn't it done?
gabyta 01-21-2008, 07:04 PM Hula.. get well soon!! :)
jedibunny 01-21-2008, 09:58 PM why didn't she just put the teleporter at the end of the ride instead of the chair? wouldn't that make the line go much faster and save her trouble?
myhorseawesome 01-21-2008, 10:48 PM I didn't get in but my two sisters did. I saw some of the same people hanging out in there when they each went through and they were about an hour apart. No wonder I didn't get in!
Khaki_footed 01-21-2008, 11:16 PM i was hoping to get in today, and even got to number 56 with an hour left. i ventured out of my room and played some pirates. while starting a game it got stuck on the game load screen and i couldn't recover it. so i never got in today, which i was really hoping i would. i didn't miss the ticket or anything it just got stuck. i hope ppl who got in get some good prizes with the detector magic.
TLynn 01-28-2008, 03:37 PM I'm guessing this won't be happening today or at least not at the scheduled time since Lily has an Ask the Host room open right now... but I'm hoping I'm wrong. :)
orcafan8 01-28-2008, 04:54 PM staff alert to vmk said no room due to technical difficulties and that lily's room would open at 10:30. Its already open.
I am sad about this event it only happened once all moon
vmkgirl28 01-28-2008, 04:54 PM The host event won't open:
http://xs123.******/xs123/08051/alert107.jpg (http://******)
NicoleMarie 01-28-2008, 05:06 PM The host event won't open:
http://xs123.******/xs123/08051/alert107.jpg (http://******)
"Technical Difficulities" Yeah right! I wonder if that means Hula got fired or maybe she got tired of VMK and quit. You know I couldn't blame her one bit if she did. :Taking:
Greenway 01-28-2008, 05:41 PM Very cryptic!
spacerightsummer 01-28-2008, 05:54 PM I was so hoping to trade out my Casey Jr. pin aww man!
