flaxygirl 01-18-2008, 12:32 AM Prize is 300 credits, a magic table, and football marker
waffles 01-18-2008, 12:33 AM 0_o how does a football marker relate to magic 0_0
chaosinmotion 01-18-2008, 12:34 AM great, I missed a question and have to go back to Central Plaza. All the rooms are RED mickeys!!!!
jedibunny 01-18-2008, 12:34 AM football stuff?
that is the most random thing ever!
i think they are running out of things to give us!
they have all this unreleased stuff but they decide to give us super old month stuff instead
what's up with that!
they should just have lots of credits or give some magic or something (full magic not one time use stuff)
GoofyGeggy 01-18-2008, 12:34 AM It doesn't, waffles. ;)
wdmountie 01-18-2008, 12:35 AM football stuff?

how is that random? Superbowl is in a couple weekends...This weekend is the NFC and AFC championships.
flaxygirl 01-18-2008, 12:36 AM Central Plaza has a queue. But it moves fast :) I bet when i get there people will be standing on the items.
chaosinmotion 01-18-2008, 12:37 AM Great. I missed it again. Now I'm 50 for central plaza
gpdot 01-18-2008, 12:38 AM Well...
If you don't like what they are offering, use your time to play games and buy what you want :)
CrazyPotatos 01-18-2008, 12:38 AM Anyone have the answers?
TheMagicWithin 01-18-2008, 12:39 AM LONG Queues for central plaza.. great
LuckyJazz 01-18-2008, 12:39 AM Have to admit, there are some great Q prizes lately. Like, who can turn down FREE credits??
TheMagicWithin 01-18-2008, 12:42 AM And not as of long line for the Blue Bayou
Pink_Bink 01-18-2008, 12:43 AM VMK is too busy for me to even log on lately. Have fun on the Quest!
- Pink :wave2:
spacerightsummer 01-18-2008, 12:43 AM I have had to it three times now and am in queue at 39 for Central Plaza. I do not know who was considered for Sorcerer's Apprentice. I am going to be doing this for a long time :(
cedog12 01-18-2008, 12:45 AM may some post pics of room if not i can :)
BaseballStarz 01-18-2008, 12:45 AM rawr i want football marker athough im banned. :(
TravisSch 01-18-2008, 12:46 AM I asked Fin why the football marker is a prize and she said Football is the thing right now ;)
jedibunny 01-18-2008, 12:50 AM how is that random? Superbowl is in a couple weekends...This weekend is the NFC and AFC championships.
sorry i don't pay that much attention to football
but last year they had football month for the superbowl
or they could have done hollywood month
why magic month? its not like they're releasing permanent treasure detector or carpet :(
I asked Fin why the football marker is a prize and she said Football is the thing right now ;)
well let's not give something out that isn't the new thing!
i can see it now
February-
2 magic weeks with only 1 new weekend item
and then
Football! bc we ran out of magic to give!
MagicMonkeys 01-18-2008, 12:55 AM Anyone have the answers?
Sorry,to find the answers,you must see if the wiki has it out the Spoilers forum.
jedibunny 01-18-2008, 12:55 AM why does central plaza have a long line but other places that the quest sends you don't?
chaosinmotion 01-18-2008, 12:55 AM Okay, I finished. Some of those trivia questions are hard, but it was a good quest
Neoteny 01-18-2008, 12:57 AM why does central plaza have a long line but other places that the quest sends you don't?
Central Plaza has a lower number of maximum instances than many other rooms, so it fills up faster.
chaosinmotion 01-18-2008, 12:57 AM why does central plaza have a long line but other places that the quest sends you don't?
Probably because there are some hard questions and you have to go back to central plaza. I had to go three times!
jedibunny 01-18-2008, 01:15 AM omg that quest took me 40 minutes! who knows the answers to these questions!?!?!? those questions are so hard! if anybody knew these before guessing they are amazing
chaosinmotion 01-18-2008, 01:18 AM omg that quest took me 40 minutes! who knows the answers to these questions!?!?!? those questions are so hard! if anybody knew these before guessing they are amazing
I popped open another window and did some quick internet searches.
TravisSch 01-18-2008, 01:20 AM The answers are now in the Spoilers thread (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138158).

Neoteny 01-18-2008, 01:21 AM omg that quest took me 40 minutes! who knows the answers to these questions!?!?!? those questions are so hard! if anybody knew these before guessing they are amazing
There was only one answer I didn't know. But then I'm more than just a casual Disney fan.
spacerightsummer 01-18-2008, 02:00 AM Well I got throught it after using my brain finally and looking up the questions on the search engines. I got my 2 accounts, my sons account and my wifes account done in under 40 minutes, that is after i wrote all the answers down lol. I do like the prizes and the marker should come in handy in month to come. I hope they release the football room again. So a thumbs up to this quest. It was diffinately a medium hard quest and quite a challenge for me. :ThumbsUp:
gabyta 01-18-2008, 02:36 AM I didn't know Donald's middle name :)
virtualmagicguy 01-18-2008, 03:52 AM Woot quest is still going on .. perfect too, I'd need to get those tables and alot of them! =)
matey 01-18-2008, 06:00 AM Well I got lag everywhere I went on that quest. Dont worry gabyta I didnt know that either!
prisoner 01-18-2008, 11:19 AM I think this quest served as a good example of a couple of things you should avoid doing when you make your own quests, and a good example of a good trick (although not used well here).
A cardinal rule of writing VMK quests:
Don't give a question the player can get wrong within 3 questions of having to enter a specific room.
This is because if they get it wrong, they need to re-enter the room. If the room is full, there could be a long wait... just for getting a question wrong.
This quest broke that quite a bit, and it was very obvious trying to get into Central Plaza that many people were there because they were going backwards due to a wrong question.
The clever bit was that Fin sent people to a room without chairs, and then told them to sit down. This points to a good tip:
Spread out where people are when they have to stay in one place a while
This trick lets the person choose what room to go to, and there are plenty of rooms around with places to sit, so none of them get filled up.
Unfortunately, Fin only did this towards the end. Spreading people out at the beginning might have helped things a lot more.
I hope you can learn these lessons when you make your own quests. And I hope hosts learn them too.
Neoteny 01-18-2008, 12:55 PM Woot quest is still going on .. perfect too, I'd need to get those tables and alot of them! =)
I wish I hadn't wasted credits on magic tables earlier in the month!
