View Full Version : Silly Sci-Fi Drive-in Rumor
Greenway 12-15-2005, 08:52 PM I just witnessed a funny but sad thing. A frined invited me into Sci-Fi Dining and there were some people saying "If we sit in all the seats, we will get a code for Main Street Magic". This is obviously untrue as room limits don't allow enough people in an instance to fill all the seats. VMK_Staff finally came into the room and sent a message to players telling them it was not true. So if anyone tells you you can get magic by filling the seats in the Drive-In, don't believe them!
Have any of you fallen for a silly rumor in VMK?

:lachen70: :lachen70: LOL rofl! Omg LOl Main Street magic?? rofl! I'm laughing my head off here! LOL!
Schmoofysis 12-15-2005, 08:55 PM LOL,they keep saying you get a code,and my friend did it in rl. You cant,the cars hold 4 each,and there are 4 cars. 4x4=16. You need 16 people in the room,you can only fit 15 at a time.
PinkPokaDot 12-15-2005, 08:57 PM I went into Sci-Fi dine in just to check it out and I had so many guests screaming at me to sit in seat and get a prize.I was so confused as to what they meant lol. thanks for letting everyone know it is not true
RikuBlade 12-15-2005, 08:58 PM Unless staff joined in. They get in No matter what
Poseidon 12-15-2005, 09:00 PM Well, there's 4 cars of 4, and that's 16 car seats. And, I'm pretty sure 16 people is the maximum in the room. :)
figmentisback 12-15-2005, 09:00 PM I was told by VMK_Runo that this is a false rumor... please pass this on to everyone who thinks otherwise, it was started at another fansite which is unknown and has spread all over vmk...
(makes sence as those rooms are almost all full...)
Zebraa 12-15-2005, 09:03 PM I WAS THERE!!! I told them it wasn't true. I even asked yavn, and he said it wasn't true! HAH! ..and they didn't believe me...
Me and Xcellant were telling them it's not true, and they said things like:
"Stop being a know it all"
"Sit down and shut up!!"
"Ur so mean! Let us have our fun!"
"You are a liar"
GreatGatsby 12-15-2005, 09:05 PM This is actually the rebirth of an older spoof. Back around the end of Beta, some players started a rumor that you got Inferno for packing the Music Mix room, or if you did 100 mixes, or similar nonsense.
There are theories that the "taken" silliness started that way, too. There are some players who believe, and tell everyone, VMK staff will ban you if you aren't taken.
It's one of your responsibilities, as official VMK Forums Explorer Scouts, to educate other players about how the game really works and not to listen to rumors.
(Bet you didn't know you were a VMK Forums Explorer Scout! Neither did I, until I just made it up.)
lostfanatic 12-15-2005, 09:05 PM i know. this girl was telling everyone to sit down and we would get a prize. i sat down but because i wanted to. i knew it was false and people even told her but i think she actually convinced other people.
PrincessA 12-15-2005, 09:09 PM oh lol something like that happened to me yesterday and i kept telling the people there -You won't get a code!!!!- and when vmk staff sent a message they claimed someone in that room lied to them and started arguing. oh well, they will know for next time
Hiphopkat 12-15-2005, 09:12 PM I was told by VMK_Runo that this is a false rumor... please pass this on to everyone who thinks otherwise, it was started at another fansite which is unknown and has spread all over vmk...
Another fansite huh?
(makes sence as those rooms are almost all full...)
LOL Me and Mini are "trying" to make people believe in us! I even made my signature say "Be a Leader Not a Follower!"
REDTAZ 12-15-2005, 09:22 PM yesterday when this rumor was fresh i asked vmk if it was true they said no then i went back to teh sci-fi dine in to tell plz and i got the same response like krazykookya i wsa told
"shut up u no nothing"
"yeah right u just wnat the magic to youreself"
"sit down now"
"i wish we could boot u"
i was also told something that i think i cant post but nayway si wont
LadyFire 12-15-2005, 09:24 PM Hm.....well i remember some silly player danced on the Street Party stage and stepped off. Then on and danced agian, then off, and on to dance. because someone told her she would get 500 credits every 50 dances!! That girl was so pathetic, day after day on the dance floor,off, on, off:wacko8:.....oh wait..that was me. Now i just dance for fun!~LF

LOL I remember that one!! This was when inferno first came out. Nobody really knew how to get it. In fact, I'm also guilty of dancing over and over again... I really thought that's how you got inferno. :xmas16:
wnderlndkitty 12-15-2005, 09:36 PM My favorite fake out in VMK to date, was wehn my friend asked me how to get Tent magic. He explained that the guy would appear as a tent and say that it was tent magic. His little talking bubble would appear just above the tent, and so he claimed it was magic. I had to explain to my friend that there was a way to stand in the tent so as to not be visible, which would make it appear that the tent was talking.
I loved that one.
barfownz 12-15-2005, 11:22 PM I think this is the best rumor i have ever heard of
VmkLuva 12-15-2005, 11:25 PM VMK staff actually did something good for vmk characters for once -throws wild party because of the news- their is a message when u go in their it says
: Title is VMK Staff alert to room,Text:You do not get free codes sitting in the cars-vmk staff
Greenway 12-15-2005, 11:31 PM VMK staff actually did something good for vmk characters for once -throws wild party because of the news- their is a message when u go in their it says
: Title is VMK Staff alert to room,Text:You do not get free codes sitting in the cars-vmk staff
I have seen many positive things done by VMK staff, but I'll leave that alone.
This is the same message staff sent when I was in the room.
redsockgurl 12-16-2005, 07:22 AM That's weird bc i never got that message...
longsaber1 12-16-2005, 10:50 AM I remember the old space suit magic that was a pretty unconvincing rumors like this!!
bobtheadventurer 12-16-2005, 11:33 AM yeah i was in one of the sci-fi dine-in rooms where it sprouted from, and everyone wouldn't believe me when i said it wasn't true, and wouldn't answer my questions about it. Then we i figured out that there can't be enough people in the room, they still wouldn't believe me. That's when i called in our friend CL_Strajo (Greenway) to help me. I left after that, but mostly a lot of people were going to other sci-fi dine-ins where we wouldn't bother them.
PowerGirl 12-16-2005, 11:39 AM OMG the rumors in VMK are getting worse by the day, and FUNNIER!!! Oh well, might as well get a seat to the VMK drive in, since I can't go on a field trip to the movies today, curl up with some popcorn I bought from the stand in Central Plaza, and leave when everyone tries to fill the seats up.
MusicMusicalGurl 12-16-2005, 01:28 PM Oh I was going to make a thread on this=...Oh well!!!! You saved me time ty ty ty!!!! Well I was stupid enough to beleive bc of friends and I was there...then I messaged spbink who sent me a message saying it was not true and there was a roumer about VMK Central....I feel so stupid!!! LOL http://img528.**************/img528/1274/mysig9bp.gif (http://**************)
SweetCoolGuy 12-16-2005, 01:30 PM It is really funny just to walk into the middle of this room and just stand there. They all freak out. Yeah it was kinda funny!
MusicMusicalGurl 12-16-2005, 01:33 PM It is really funny just to walk into the middle of this room and just stand there. They all freak out. Yeah it was kinda funny!
Yeah that is fun and funny...but when u tell them it is just a stupid roumor they are so stupborn!!!

Here is the post I made on the dancing inferno in the music mix hoax. Ah, to be so new and gullible again!

SweetGAGirl87 01-13-2006, 03:12 AM lol Either this rumor hasn't died down or it is starting back up, someone just said that if we fill up all the seats we will get something, can't remember what they said we would get. Lol

Have any of you fallen for a silly rumor in VMK?
LOL.. The rumor went around rather fast. People were saying that to me on for the 12th and that was a bad day; I got into a fight. They did real bad things so I just reported them. Wonder who started it. - looks around -
sweetminniegirl 01-13-2006, 05:22 AM i hate it when ppl call u names bc u tell them its not true, i mean like ppl are very mean and stubborn( i dont think i spelled that right) like that, well, that does not really happen anymore now ppl get into fights. one time i walked in and these girls where fighting and calling each other "BAD!" names that should not say in VMK, and this girl was standing in front of the screen, and ppl where saying they were gonna report her if she didnt move, i go in front of that screen all the time, and there is not even a movie playing sometimes ppl in vmk are just wrong!:rolleyes8:rolleyes8:rolleyes8 and ppl do the taken thing there too
Annia 01-13-2006, 05:24 AM the same thing happened to me. It was someting like if we filled up all of the cars, we would get some sort of prize. It turns out that it was just some people playing a trick on us. Besides, I don't think it's possible to have all of the cars full.
gellypoo93 01-13-2006, 05:26 AM hey i feel so ashamed ...oh well
WDWFutureGirl 01-13-2006, 05:26 AM My friend asked me to come over and fill up the car so we all could get magic.i was upset when i learned it could not happen :( LOL What weird things ppl will believe.it seems so far fetched these days
LadyVader 01-13-2006, 12:38 PM I tried to stop a friend from going to check out this story. It is amazing how fast rumors fly on vmk. If it sounds too good to be true it would be wise to give it a second thought!
ChrisR 01-13-2006, 12:52 PM here is a question i wat to ask guests one of these days when they say the rumor: well if pigs fly in vmk would you say to evereeyone catch them to get a pin?
Greenway 01-13-2006, 01:14 PM The last rumor I had someone ask me about is "If you have everybody dance with the yeti, do you get inferno"
Answer, no Inferno comes from staff.
batgirl 01-13-2006, 01:47 PM The last rumor I had someone ask me about is "If you have everybody dance with the yeti, do you get inferno"
Answer, no Inferno comes from staff.
That's funny, the other day three people said they reported me because i would not dance in the Matterhorn because they thought they'd get inferno. I tried telling them it was not true, but this only made them more angry. They were all like, dance or leave or I will report. I kept asking, report me for what? not dancing?
Cakee 01-13-2006, 01:54 PM these rumors make me rofl.
Yesterday, i sat on the bench in the Sci-Fi-Dine-In, people were like: ''Cakee, sit in a car, you'll get a code''
I replied: not true, not going, i'm staying here:)
LOL! they said they're going to report me.. o_O
~Cake
McDaddy 01-13-2006, 02:03 PM I remember someone saying that at the Sci-Fi Dine-In but I was not listening to him since I was talking with my friend. That place is kind of crazy and there are too much taken stuff there...what VMK has come to these days...I just wish I could have played Beta VMK, to see how it feels to be with no taken stuff...By the way, this unknown VMK Forums sounds weird, maybe it's like a VMK Downtown? Lol, well I hope we get more informed on this crazy thing!
BlazingAmos
Chele 01-13-2006, 05:15 PM . . .I just wish I could have played Beta VMK, to see how it feels to be with no taken stuff. . .
Just as an aside, there was "taken" in beta. It was just as wrong then as it is now; but it was there. Please don't let anybody tell you differently. Guess it's just another rumor that floats around vmk . . .
. . . and yes, pigs can fly in vmk and if you are lucky enough to catch them you will get inferno and flying carpet magic. But what's even more cool, if you combine these pins you can dance on the carpet with the circle of fire around you as you fly around vmk . . . (jk, please nobody believe this).
Greenway 01-18-2006, 01:58 PM I saw a thread pop up about this yesterday. The word still needs to get out so that there are no more people wasting time and effort filling all the seats in the Sci-Fi
aceastrofan 01-18-2006, 02:34 PM I mean,this rumor has been around for a while and now,not many people believe it anymore.Thats awesome!:CastMem:
lildud 01-20-2006, 11:46 PM hey just had some on tell that if i go Sci-Fi dining the same thing to all so i got a qustion i dont no how to thos picters of like tha law and order whewre do you go to get them

~imsomagical:wave2:
bluedudeman 03-26-2006, 11:01 PM that is still a rumor!!! wow that was like when it first came on i remember that my friend mailed me "omg if we get in every chair we get magic come on" we sat... and sat... than i gave up lol
cratle 03-26-2006, 11:03 PM Lol, that was started by two Community Leaders to get them to sit down. They never knew about the rumor yet.
Amberina 03-27-2006, 12:48 PM that is the weirdest rumour i have ever heard. it just does not make sense. lol
some ppl have nothing better to do, then make up rumours, or make up stories. in VMK too!
Jolber 03-27-2006, 12:52 PM some do, but not the most people and some believe too quick
Amazing 03-28-2006, 01:47 AM there seam to be a lot of not true things going around like if u go to tikki island and dance in front of the tikkis u get money
i told them it was not true and they gave me a mad face and left
:wave2:
ruminant 03-28-2006, 05:22 AM i hat when ppl just sit in my car i was in a car alone and i was trying not to listen to person saying FILL THE CARS!! and people kept jumping in my car and i yelled every time GET OUT THEY ARE TELLING A LIE GET OUT NOW!!!
