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)

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!

Sorry,to find the answers,you must see if the wiki has it out the Spoilers forum.

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

Central Plaza has a lower number of maximum instances than many other rooms, so it fills up faster.

chaosinmotion

Probably because there are some hard questions and you have to go back to central plaza. I had to go three times!

There was only one answer I didn't know. But then I'm more than just a casual Disney fan.

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:

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.
