Wow. I'm gone for one day to see Kelly Clarkson and we go back in time. I do believe its time for a siggy change then.

I'm not gonna lie, when I read the title of this board I was getting ready to come in here and slap whoever made another team giraffe. I'm glad it was just you Zebraa.

Edit: Btw, is that our same uniform from last time?

Actually, someone did make another Team Giraffe.

We're currently working on getting them to change their title. Since you know, we've had it since everest.

Just giving everyone a heads up- I was trying to put all my pieces together and it seems we can't use crates because they dont match up right. I don't know where I should put this new info so I'll just give it to ya'll.

Hmm, try some dead mans chests too, if that doesn't work, we're just going to have to wait until they release the new stuff.

jamielan
07-01-2006, 07:55 PM
Ah theres another team giraffe. =O
Hopefully they will change it, since we were the original giraffes.

Edit: Yes Jess, they are the original giraffe outfits.

07-01-2006, 08:28 PM
Guys, You all have to be getting the ride pieces today. I'm trying, but the Typhoon Lagoons refuse to load for me, I don't know what to do. I'm going to try and talk to a staff member about it.

-Blue Dude

Jess
07-02-2006, 04:00 AM
Anyone want to send me the info you all discussed in the super important 4pm meeting today? I was at work and sadly, our computers dont do the whole internet thing.

Jess
07-02-2006, 04:56 AM
It looks like I'll be taking over as captain. If anyone on the team has a problem with this, please speak up.

Btw, after last competitions disappointment I will make sure we win. Even if I have to go and hunt down some people.

Skaterooni
07-02-2006, 08:58 AM
Guys, i'm not quitting Giraffe.

I was just hurt and a little upset about what Jam and Zebraa said. Jess can be the leader like you guys wanted.

Im not a good leader, so i'm just going to be a regular member. Thats it.

-Blue Dude

Zebraa
07-02-2006, 03:35 PM
We're really sorry, blue. We had no intentions to hurt your feelings. I hope you will forgive us.

PS. Are you gonna be Co-leader?

Zebraa

jamielan
07-03-2006, 12:09 AM
Oh yeah. Me and danger switched rooms. I got room number 10, and he got room number 11.

Ive also done the layouts of both of my rooms, seeing as i have very limted time to do them. It would be great if you guys could check it out.

Zebraa
07-03-2006, 01:14 AM
I started my first room :D Come check it out.

I need 7 palm trees and a tiki fountain- anyone got any?

dangerman
07-03-2006, 02:14 AM
Since when was there a Team Giraffe Discussion Thread... =S People should be telling me things more often, gosh! LOL jk :) But it would be nice to be informed ;)

Skaterooni
07-04-2006, 07:19 PM

jamielan
07-04-2006, 07:34 PM
Ok guys, start getting more stuff. Just about everything is out xD

Oh yes, i was real relieved.

Now i can redo my rooms with the new furniture.

Zebraa
07-04-2006, 07:42 PM
Guess what?! I finished the decorations for my room, and I already have many slide pieces put down :)

Skaterooni
07-05-2006, 11:00 AM
Ok, Jess, you better make sure our rooms are good to the max. xD

Lol, but seriously, I feel as my room is kind of missing something. Maybe you know. :P

-Blue Dude

Jess
07-05-2006, 08:24 PM
Shallow End Giraffe!! Lifeguard Jess here. It has a ring to it, I like it.

Come on guys! Work, work, work. Since the competition isn't till August that should fix any of our scheadule issues.

Bb, I have more ideas for your room. If that doesn't work I have a back up idea.

Also I'll be sending around everyones EXACT room names soon. Your rooms have to be these EXACT names or we'll be disqualified. I also want to register as soon as they accept registrations so we get in.

jamielan
07-08-2006, 01:22 AM
Okay.. I will Need the exact room names ASAP!

I also need to get out the teleporters to people connecting to my rooms.
Today will be good.. for there are no promises i will be on tomorrow..

jamielan
07-08-2006, 06:34 PM
Time for Bump!

Guys, I need to get out 2 teleporters. One to Jess and one to MissAmber.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST DAY I WILL BE ON. So if i cant get the teleporters
out, we wont be able to use my rooms.

I also need the room titles pleaseeeeeee...

As Soon As Possible.

MissAmber
07-08-2006, 06:48 PM
Hiya everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been here for a while, I was on vacation. I'm really sorry... I'm afraid to say that I might not be able to stay on this team. I won't have any time to earn credits, buy supplies, build 2 rooms and also stay for judging. I might not even BE here for judging o_o.

I'll let everyone know before registration opens.

Once again, I'm sorry. :(

UPDATE.... OKAY, I'M IN! lol, I had doubts before but now I think I'm good. ;D

jamielan
07-09-2006, 03:39 AM
Err Ok.

Seeing as i will be leaving in a few hours, I'll just say what i need to say =D

Okays.. I gave Jess the teleporter to one of MissAmber's rooms. Im sure Jess will get it to Miss with no problem.

And also.. Good Luck Guys! have fun building;; ( and during judging ;))

See you all in 5 weeks!

Also.. you have to promise you wont take down the ride till i ride it :D

MissAmber
07-09-2006, 03:22 PM
I'll be on all day today, so that means I'll be busy working on my rooms. So far all I have is a skull rock room named "Oh no!" o_-... later I'll have to attempt to get a tent code by looking through the trading post.

But for now, I'm working on "Oh no!".

UPDATE - Not feeling too good... I'm done for today, and I didn't accomplish much. -_-

Jess
07-10-2006, 04:04 PM
I'm working on the registration right now. It should be in within the next few minutes.

MissAmber
07-10-2006, 06:33 PM
Hey everyone, my room "Oh no!" has come along great so far. Atleast I think so. I still have alot to do though.

I plan on filling in any empty spaces with the palm tree tops, so it looks like a bunch of small shrubs or something. The only thing I'm stuck on is trying to make it scary, yet colorfull. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to add to the room?

dangerman
07-10-2006, 11:00 PM
Wellz...my rooms have been going alright :) One room is almost finished (Just needs more track and decorations) and then my other room is barely even half way done >_>; I hope I can manage getting all the things I need =P

Zebraa
07-11-2006, 12:52 AM
My rooms are doing okays too :D I just need more turns for my first room... and a lot more water rugs, track, and palm tree stick things -.-

MissAmber
07-11-2006, 01:05 AM
I can't wait till everyone is finished, and we all get to ride the whole thing. This team is doing awesome so far. :)

dangerman
07-12-2006, 04:51 PM
Today I should be getting some of the materials for my room :) So that is really good. I would work on my room but it is a little boring >_>;

Jess
07-12-2006, 09:36 PM
Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I may not be as active as usual over the next few days. I was smart and decided to get a new belly button ring to celebrate pirates of the caribbean today. Only problem is I got it pierced last night and now its killing me cause the pirate ring is waaaay too heavy.
Yes, I am sooo smart I know. You think I would have learned from last time when it ripped out but no. So probably for the rest of today and tomorrow[ until i have to actually get up and go to work] i'll be chilling in bed clutching my stomach :)
I was at the mall and just couldn't resist. Sure your supposed to wait 6 months before changing out the ring but its pirates. The whole 'dont change your ring' rule is more of what you would call a guideline. Plus I got an awesome Johnny cardboard cutout to go with my Legolas one.

MissAmber
07-12-2006, 10:02 PM
lol Jess, hope your belly button feels better.

Wow that feels weird to say.

Btw, did you get any verification of our team being registered and in the competition yet on VMK?

Zebraa
07-12-2006, 10:45 PM
Arg jazz. I hope you feel better.
Anyways, did you enter "Straight ahead is safe" or "Right ahead is safe"? Bc we can't say straight in VMK >_< I know that's what I wrote, but I didn't find out until a few days ago -_-
My mom told me it feels weird to have a hook going through your belly button 0_o

Jess
07-13-2006, 12:53 AM
Nevermind ya'll. I'll tough it out lol. I decided to go surfing after posting that last message and I think I'm good now.

Zebraa
07-13-2006, 07:49 PM
I hope we are in too :D I made a movie about the ride, but I can't find a place that uploads Windows Movie Maker Files.

OFF TOPIC: TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! :D

Jess
07-13-2006, 09:35 PM
YAY ZEBRAAS BIRTHDAY!

Try putting the video on ******* that always works for me.

MissAmber
07-14-2006, 02:45 AM
Happy Birthday Zebraa! =D

PS. I think photobucket also lets you upload videos.

dangerman
07-14-2006, 03:06 AM
I want to see the video! :D Happy Birthday Zazu! (Agains :))

MissAmber
07-14-2006, 03:58 AM
Hey guys, I think I'm going to need some serious help with my rooms. So far I have half a room... and that's not good. In a week or two I'll be going on ANOTHER week long vacation to the shore, and that means I'll probably have to get everything done before I leave.

I'm beginning to hate these vacations me and my family keep going on. -_-

EDIT-- Okay actually, I just finished 1 room. I still need to add a few things like palm trees to make it look nicer... but I've tried building the other room, and it's really hard for me. I might not start on it for a few days.

If anyone can help me in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated.

Zebraa
07-14-2006, 09:18 PM
Thanks everyone :D MissAmber, I need to add you as a friend ;)

dangerman
07-14-2006, 09:50 PM
I made a video! Yay for me :) Uh it is still saving onto my computer O_o Takes a while..I will upload it and send it to someone in PM (Just in case it is bad ;)) LOL

Zebraa
07-14-2006, 10:42 PM
Okays, here's the video:

If, for some reason, that link is not G-Rated and needs to be removed, here is another link.

PS I know it looks like he's on a rock since the river moves and he doesn't (LOL) but that's his tube.

PPS. I don't know if his tube pops in the actual ride, but it makes more suspense lol.

Skaterooni
07-14-2006, 11:16 PM
Bravo Zebraa! I love the music and how you made it look animated =)

Anyways, tonight im finishing my room up and i'll just need the teleporters to link, then i'll start on my next room. Which im going to need TONS of trees for DX.

Lol, i'll have the rooms done before I leave on vacation, then when I get back it'll be judging time @_@.

-BballMan

Jess
07-15-2006, 04:14 AM
Zebraa that movie is hot! I love it. Especially when he's a pirate comes on. Sooo good!

MissAmber
07-15-2006, 04:37 AM
Awesome job Zebraa! =)

All I have is 1 more room to do. I guess I'll start on it tomorrow then.

Zebraa
07-15-2006, 03:47 PM
Jazz, have we got our confirmation yet? @_@

Jess
07-15-2006, 05:08 PM
Nope, nothing yet. I'm starting to think they sent the confimation and my email just blocked it or something cause I haven't recieved a rejection either.

If anyone finds a QA or any team member please ask them about this. I sent in our registration the first day they accepted them and still nothing.

Zebraa
07-15-2006, 08:46 PM
Did you send it with AOL?

Jess
07-16-2006, 03:27 AM
No I sent it on hotmail.

Jess
07-16-2006, 01:53 PM
I'm double posting, I'm not cool. I'm aware. But let me tell you about my morning.

So I woke up around 8am. Hopped in the shower, threw on some tanning lotion and hooked up my surfboard to my car to have a lovely day at the beach. Before I leave I decided to have a nice glass of water. While having my water I saw the computer and though, hey, lets check my email. So I did and ever to my surprise I saw a nice little mailman sending me some mail. This is what I saw.
Subject : [2006-6-11010-610703821] VMK - Registration received
And I thought to myself, "Oh, how nifty. VMK wants to tell us we're rejected."
But curiousity got the best of me and I decided to open it and look what I found.
Hello!

Your team's registration for the Build Your Own Waterslide Competition has been
received and accepted. As the Lifeguard it is your role to make sure your team
is ready to go and that the following rules are followed:

* Each Pool Patrol is to consist of no less than 6 and no more than 20
members
* The ride may not exceed 30 rooms in length
* Players may only be on one Pool Patrol
* Each member of the Pool Party must contribute at least one room to the
ride
* The Lifeguard must be the owner of the Shallow End room, where the team's
ride begins

Your Pool Patrol must have a name; choose carefully, it must be allowable in VMK
and must fit into the Shallow End room name.

The first room on the ride is your Shallow End. The name of the room must be
"Shallow End", followed by the name of your team (example: Shallow End Dumbo).

Other rooms on the ride may have any name, although we do encourage the use of
the team name; words such as Pool and Patrol are also encouraged but not
required.

No "dictionary dances" are permitted in any Pool Patrol room names (example:
?Shallow End Dumbo To? is not allowed).

Now that your team's registration has been accepted, no changes may be made to
team name or team membership. Changes will disqualify your team from the
competition without further notice.

Only registered teams will be judged.

Judging will take place between Friday August 4 and Sunday August 6.

While it is not necessary to keep your ride open to be judged, we hope you will
be able to keep it open during the event weekend so other Players can enjoy what
you and your team have created.

We look forward to seeing your team's ride!

Regards,


So yeah, everyone stop your worrying and get to work. We've got a competition to win.

Yay Jazz! Yay Water!

PS. You took a shower before you went surfing? @_@
PPS. I went surfing this morning too :D

Skaterooni
07-16-2006, 04:40 PM
Yes! We're in! Woot!

Jess, i'm not going to be here next week. So i'm going to miss a whole week of ride building. I plan on getting it all done this week. But if not, i have a few days when I get back to finish up before judging.

Just thought i'd tell you.

MissAmber
07-16-2006, 07:31 PM
I'm not going to be here for a while either.

But that's not until the 28th. I'll be gone Friday, July 28th - Friday, August 4th

I'll try to get my other room done before then, but I need major help. I don't have a clue what to do. I haven't started on it yet because it's very hard to make something colorful and scary LOL....

But anyways, yea. That's about it.

Jess
07-16-2006, 08:02 PM
Okay, um, emergency room connecting time. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for New York and won't be back till the 29th.
I'll sign on right now and try to help connecting. I have to sign off in an hour to go to work but I'll be back on by 9:30 eastern time.
I really need help with connecting these rooms, if anyone is able to connect theirs on their own that would be a great help. It doesn't matter if the rooms are finished or not today, they just need connecting. If there is something wrong with the room or the order tell me now or else it'll all be connected wrong. I am mostly concerned about the monster room Zebraa is doing and danger's room cause everyone is assigned to different things there.

Edit: Okay, huge problem with the room assignments. This is what I have down for everyone doing.

Shallow End Giraffe: -JESS
Same as the one we used for giraffe? I can put it back together real quick and add a little slide flavor.

Room 1: Welcome to the jungle Village- ZEBRAA
There could be a village with tents, canoes, tikis as people, and campfires.Tent

Room 2: Ready to enter the jungle?- RYAN
Trees everywhere, calm surroundings. Tent or tiki

Room 3: Island Paradise!- JESS
Same as above. Tiki

Room 4: The wind is getting rough- CAT
Little less calm, and make bumps in the track. Tiki

Room 5: Better turn back!.-JESS
Make things rougher and rougher with scarier surroundings. Skull Rock

!!Room 6: Where did everyone go?- JAM
Make it like the village, but with the fires put out, and no people (tikis). Tent

!!Room 7: Ahead to safety!JAM
Make a town with a teleporter straight ahead, looking like you’re going there, but once you almost get there, you turn to a different teleporter. Tiki

Room 8: Oh no!- MISSAMBER
Make things very rough and scary. Briar or skull rock

Room 9: .. We’re not alone- DANGER
You will see the sea monster, scary surroundings and very rough. Nautilus

Room 10: Can we make it back?!- ZEBRAA
Make things very very rough, and try to make it to an unseen teleporter. Nautilus

Room 11: Yes! We’re free!-DANGER
Make things a bit more calm, but still scary stuff around. Briar or tiki

Room 12: Where are we?- CAT
Make things calm and peaceful, but like there is no civilization. Tent or tiki

Room 13: There’s the town!- MISSAMBER
Make a town like the first one, and with people again. Tent

Room 14: Few, we’re home! Aren't we?- RYAN
Exit room, with a dock. Same as base camp
16: Splash Down!

Zebraa
07-16-2006, 09:58 PM
Okay, so danger is making the monster? @_@

MissAmber
07-16-2006, 10:04 PM
Ok, I can manage.

BballMan: When your on AIM, remind me that we need to connect our rooms, "There’s the town!", and, "Few, we’re home! Aren't we?".

dangerman
07-17-2006, 12:09 AM
Okay, so danger is making the monster? @_@

Zebraa your room is the monster :) The room before the monster is going to the monster >_>; I am sure jazz just mixed it up or something O_o Anyway yay jazz! I haven't been here all day or yesterday and am going on vacation in a week or two, so I have to make sure when.. I might even miss the judging so yeah...Wait .. yeah I will.. :( Oh well :( My room is coming along pretty well and stuff so that's a plus :)

MissAmber
07-17-2006, 01:28 AM
Uh hiya guys, I just wanted to say that I'm having some doubts about me and my room designing.

My one room is done, and I'm good with it, but my other room I haven't started on. I don't know what I can do.

I really need help. Tomorrow possibly? I'll be here the whole day. Tuesday I won't, and possibly I won't be here Wednesday either.

Jess
07-17-2006, 02:37 AM
Yeah sorry about that danger and zebraa I must have gotten confused.

Missamber, which room are you having trouble with? I have some ideas for the scary room one. I actually have a room somewhat still together from the last competition that we could use if you don't have time to do it. The town one you can pretty much copy Jam's room just more life to it.

Edit: I NEED to see ryan and cat TONIGHT!

Jess
07-17-2006, 12:11 PM
Okay I'm out. See you all in a week. Ryan, Missamber[by the time I get back both of you will be gone so this is especially important] and cat see Zebraa.

Btw, everyone leaving on trips who won't be back for the start of judging change your room name and make the room public today. Won't look too good when people are getting locked out of friend's only rooms.

MissAmber
07-17-2006, 03:01 PM
Ok got it. And as for the room I was talking about, yes, it is the scary room one. I can't figure out a good idea. I don't mean to sound lazy, but would it be ok to use the room you were talking about?

I'm like 99% finished the town room though. I just need a few tikis.

Jess
07-18-2006, 02:12 AM
Shockingly, I have internet up here. I'll probably only have it till tomorrow then be cut off when we go into the city. I'm trying to log onto vmk but apparently this computer has some crazy settings or something and isn't letting me on.

dangerman
07-18-2006, 02:15 AM
Uh.. hmm...I still didn't get any of my rooms linked >_>; Oh! Except for zebraa's :D I just came back now and might be gone all day tomorrow too...omg I am soo tired.. O_o; Don't know if I should come on vmk or something? -.-

I worked on my scary room today a little bit... got some rocks and stuff :) I'm gonna be on an airplane the day after tomorrow, just a little head's up ;) But Jazz, you never gave me teleporters for miss @_@ only for cat and blue.

Jess
07-18-2006, 02:46 AM
I didn't give you any of missamber? Good, cause there was no need to.
Seriously, don't mind me. Its summer and after a few good shots of a surfboard to the head I don't have many brain cells left.

Missamber, I'll take the scary room. Won't take me too long to put back together. Its old school everest competition but it works. You just need to give me the teleporter for the room. I gave you the teleporter awhile back after jam gave it to me. Right now I can't get on vmk cause of this stupid non cool computer so just give the teleporter to zebraa or danger.

Edit: I just read over the letter vmk sent me and saw something very surprising.
While it is not necessary to keep your ride open to be judged, we hope you will
be able to keep it open during the event weekend so other Players can enjoy what
you and your team have created.
So, like, I can go out on my weekend or no?

Edit AGAIN: Since ya'll are all frolicking around on vmk and not posting here, its time to make an edit so I dont double post. According to the newsletter these are the categories.
Best Use of Color, Most Creative, and Best Overall Ride experience.
We have a shot at overall and possibly best use of color. Personally, my rooms are not all that colorful. Theres some color but it sticks to the theme. With my rooms I've been shooting for the overall and I think you all should. Fill the rooms with as many items as possible. Rocks, trees, anything. And build them tall. Make this look impressive. [Btw, I'm not talking about like a random water trough or a random green chair cause you think it looks nice.] We can shoot for colorful too, just as long as the color stays relevant and your not putting a flying saucer in to get an extra shade of blue.

Dude, i've been so busy this week. I'm barely finding time for the rooms.. and I leave this saturday.. I have 3 days to get my rooms together unless I finish up the last one when I get back from the beach ( which will be the 29th I think )

After I get my rooms hooked up and all, i'm gone from VMK. But if you want me to stick around for judging, I guess thats fine.

Well if you are not on on the weekend of judging I guess me or any of the other members could go to base camp and stay there :) Oh yeahhh >_>; But what about the Blue Flag that shows the room has been judged =O Ohhh never thought of that...

Jess
07-18-2006, 02:17 PM
Blue flag? Whaat?
No, but I was joking. I'll be on for judging. The only issue is I'll probably be working friday, saturday, and sunday nights. But I'll be holding up base camp in the mornings and afternoons.
Bb, how many rooms do you have done? At least have the rooms connected before you leave, even if they aren't done and finish them when you get back. We just need them done by judging. I think it would be a big help if you stayed for judging, but I can't force you to sit in base camp with us. Its really up to you.
Hows the room connects going? Are we any closer to being done? I feel so bad not being able to get on this week. I feel like I'm letting you all down.
I'm so sorry for saying this, but please connect your rooms yourselves. I cannot get on now so its up to you guys to do the connecting. Zebraa has some for bb and cat. Missamber, you need to connect your room and give me jam's teleporter.
Build your rooms to the max!! We won't win with mediocre rooms and random water troughs.

Zebraa
07-18-2006, 03:20 PM
But I thought you signed Miss up for that room, and she has to make it.. doesn't she? Or maybe you can give her all the supplies for the room, and she can rebuild it?

dangerman
07-18-2006, 03:35 PM
Jess, have you ever seen those flags in host games? lol Well, whenever a host/staff comes by, they will give us a blue flag post to put in the main room to show that it has been judged..

Jess
07-18-2006, 04:35 PM
When you register, you just have to put the room name. Not who is building it. As long as Miss makes at least one room and I build the room she can't do then we're good.
Danger, was there a newsletter I missed about the blue flag? Do they put it down or is it sent to me to put in? If im not there when its judged do one of you get the flag? Yeah, I'm confused on that.
And to Bb, if there are any rooms you can't do I guess I'll do them. I ended up having to do 6 rooms for the first competition. I only have 4 done now so I'll take on the extras. I don't care if I have to be on from opening to closing from when I get back to when judging is. If anyone is having doubts about a room they dont have time to do just give it to me. I'd rather spend my time doing a room right then you having to worry and rush to get it done sloppily.
Btw, I'll be back the 29th. That is going to be a horrible week for me but I have to do what I have to do.

Hello Team Giraffe!

After reading every post in this thread, I've come to pick this team as the team I want to win in the Water Slide/Ride event. It seems like you guys have had some obstacles along the way but I think you're really handling them nicely.

Off-topic: I'm not sure if any of you know me but when I played VMK (I got bored - I just stay on the forums now), I could never win a Best Guest Room Award, so I hope you guys do with this awesome ride. Maybe I'll come on VMK to ride it during the judging.

Best of luck to Team Giraffe!

Zebraa
07-19-2006, 02:16 AM
Wow, thank you very much BiggameJ!! That really means a lot to us :) I've never won BGR either -_- We hope you will come on for judging to ride our ride!!

Ok, back to the ride. If anyone can help me by getting some rocks, that'd be nice. :D

07-20-2006, 01:45 AM
Jess, your a lifesaver. =) Thanks for taking care of the room for me. Also, when you read this and I'm online, send me a PM immediatly reminding me to give you the teleport for the room.

-- I still yet need to connect to Ryan's room, and cat's. That's all I'm worried about. If I have the time, I will earn me some credits and beautify the room with some palm trees and tikis. =D

07-21-2006, 03:56 PM
Well I am REALLY busy >_>; Both my rooms are like 3 quarters finished..just some finishing touches and track... Monday I might be gone all day and well...some other days too. My parents like to tell me things at the last minute in the very morning and I usually have to go to places for the whole day and stuff...

Oh yeah.. and MissAmber, I still need to add you on my friends list XP

Jazz: Check the newsletter now and it will say stuff about the blue flap :)

MissAmber
07-21-2006, 07:51 PM
I still don't have my room connected to ANYONE elses. Where is everyone?!? lol...

If BballMan doesn't get on today, then I won't be able to connect our ride rooms, which means everyone will have to throw their heads under their pillows and scream, as loud, as long, as possible. He leaves tomorrow, and the day he gets back is the day I'm gone on vacation, and when I get back it will be the day of judging!

And also, I need to connect to cat's room.

I'm not doing that room anymore, Jess is taking care of it for me, so you'll have to link with her.

As for the room I am doing, I'm completely finished, exept I need to link with cat. Does cat even go on the fansite? If not, can someone please contact her/him? I leave this saturday, and I don't come back till judging day! So nobody skips past this...

Can somebody contact chesire_cat so we can link our rooms before Saturday?
I hope I got my point across, lol...

dangerman
07-23-2006, 06:18 PM

1-Is Bb gone till judging?
2-Zebraa were you able to give everyone the teleporters I gave you?
3-Miss, will you be on tomorrow to trade me the teleporter? did you and danger get a chance to connect?
and 4- where the heck is cat?!

I am a lonely little confused person :wave2: LOL..This competiton is wayy too boring >_>; Ok well me and zebraa have one (I put on and I just edited it to one...grr vmk...) room connected.. I still need like.. 3 teleporters? I think...

Jess
07-23-2006, 11:36 PM
Yeah, the last competition was definitely more fun. This one is good but its in the middle of summer so everyone is gone- making things MUCH more frustrating. The last competition all I had to worry about was forcing a little kid to put some track down. Now in this one half our members have gone AWOL and the ride is barely connected.

Btw, friendly reminder, make sure your rooms are NOT FRIENDS ONLY.

Edit: What happened to my post count? I definitely hit 1,000 a few weeks back. How am I down to 942?

Zebraa
07-23-2006, 11:48 PM
Er... I haven't handed out the teleporters yet. I tried to give 'em to blue, but he said he wasn't finished with his 'into the jungle' room. And my room is coming along ok, and I worked a lot yesterday. I still need A LOT of rocks and track -.-

Oh, and I haven't seen cat in FOREVER! Where is she??

Jess
07-23-2006, 11:52 PM
And he's gone till the 29th?! Great. Z do you just want to hold on to the teleporters? I'll be back tomorrow if you don't want to.
I'm getting worried about cat. She never told anyone about any vacation and if she was having computer problems she would have found her way to a library by now. Anyone know how done her rooms are? I know they aren't connnected.

MissAmber
07-24-2006, 12:03 AM
All I have "left of cat" (lol) is a waterslide teleport linking to her room, and that is the one I need to give to you Jess... right now I'm going to go check her room out and see if it is done or connected to anyone elses. I'll update in a few minutes...

Edit- Oh nevermind, I got myself all confused. I thought the teleport was to cat's room, but it was to jamielan's. Whoops. o_o I need some sleep lol...

Yeah not only is it summer but the competition feels so blehh.. lol Well last time I saw cat, she said she was having major computer problems..maybe that's the problem O.o; Uhmmm.....no clue why your posts went down :D lol Maybe it was something you said? =O My rooms are coming along.. ok...they are still the same as before though :)

07-24-2006, 07:18 AM
Maybe it was something you said? =O

Lol, yeah I have had a few offensive posts. But those were only to state the truth to the ignorant. Never knew I had 200 posts like that though.

Btw, claps for Jess. I survived the plane ride home and will be happy to help out with the rooms tomorrow. Unless I gotta work, then your all on your own.

MissAmber
07-24-2006, 04:36 PM
lol, congrats Jess...

And I hope we hear from cat sometime soon, I'm getting scared that she won't make it back in time, wherever she might have gone.

Update- Change in plans, I'll be leaving Friday afternoon. (Coming back August 4th) And 1 or 2 days this week I won't be here, I'll be at the carnival with friends and spending the night at someone's house possibly.

I'm getting a nervous sick feeling in my stomache right now. Hopefully we'll be able to work out something before I leave, so we can get this ride finished in time for the judging. For now, I guess we will all have to brainstorm ideas...

Zebraa
07-24-2006, 05:05 PM
I'm getting worried about cat, too. If she doesn't make it back on, Jazz, do you have any rooms from last competition that you could spiff up? And I don't think Ryan finished his 'Into the Jungle' room, did he?

MissAmber
07-24-2006, 05:40 PM
I think Ryan was going to finish it when he got back, not sure...

Why does everyone call him Ryan.. O.o lol It really confused me at first :D Anyways, I haven't worked on my rooms at all yet..much...Eh I will finish it soon I hope..haven't seen anyone on vmk for days now.. getting so lonely :( lol

Jess
07-24-2006, 06:30 PM
I am so disappointed in a lot of members of this team right now.
I'm not mad at anyone. It just seems that most of the team doesn't want to do this and is putting in zero effort.

I'll be back later, I need to get away from this.

Staff can put down/move anything in any room ;)



I think everyone needs to work a little harder. Jazz has to do, what, 5 rooms?? And all of them are fabulous. It's not fair that she does all this, and some of us are not giving 100%. Fill your rooms to the top, but not with random things, like Jazz has said. Make your room(s) look as best as they can, even if it means fireworks (or any mini-game) all day long. I, myself, had not been online much before today, and I knew that my second room was not even close to being finished. I played fireworks all day, and got most of it done.

I don't want everyone to think that I don't need to work harder; I do. Tomorrow, I will try to get my room done, and looking perfect. We can't rely on Jazz to do everything we can't, because she has a life, too, and needs to be elsewhere besides VMK (such as work LOL). So don't let jazz down ;)

Thanks Zebraa! Yeah, I've been at work all night. I had such a good night I can't even describe it. I'm in a good mood now so I'm willing to do a little vmk work tonight.

danger, is that the real flag? it looks like something someone whipped up on paint.

Zebraa
07-25-2006, 04:00 AM

MissAmber
07-25-2006, 04:34 AM
Tomorrow I'm going to play some fireworks, also. But I promised myself I wouldn't get lazy all over again, I need some break from "computer land". I need to take a bikeride or something. But other than that, I'll be working as hard as possible, since I only have a few more days till vacation.

For future competitions, if team Giraffe ever returns, I'll most likely have a laptop by then... so I'll be able to work on my rooms from anywhere. ;)

How about some team spirit?

Just to make a correction....

"There’s the town!" is the one I'm still doing, and "Oh no!" is the one that Jess took over for me. (Atleast I hope, lol...) And "There’s the town!" is almost done, except I need to connect to chesire_cat! If there is any hope, maybe I could make my way to an internet cafe or something, halfway through my vacation to check in on things.

Zebraa
07-25-2006, 01:58 PM
Well, yesterday Jazz and I tried to get into one of her rooms because her room was after Jazz's, but cat hadn't put the teleporter down :( I really hope she gets on soon.

MissAmber
07-25-2006, 02:46 PM
So do I... I wish there was a way we could reach her. We've come really far with team giraffe, I'd hate the team to be disqualified because someone's computer broke down or something. You just can't help those kind of things.

Jess
07-25-2006, 04:14 PM
Zebraa if you still want to talk I'll be on most of today remaking cat's rooms and adding more to mine. The only time I won't be here is for some of tonight. I dont have work but ever so conviniently I have dance but that will only be about three or so hours.

Edit: Cat, if your out there, I did your wind is getting rough room so don't worry about it.

07-26-2006, 01:37 AM
Jess, I have a question - If cat doesn't get back in time for the judging, and if you do her rooms, wouldn't that disqualify us, since each member has to have atleast 1 room?

I find nothing wrong with it, and it's awesome that your taking the time to do her rooms, but I was just wondering about that.

Me and Zebraa were talking about that. I'll go ahead and do her rooms. the wind is getting rough is almost done and I haven't started her other one. I'm gonna hold off doing the other one for a few days in case cat comes back. She won't have time to do two rooms. I'm going to wait a few days then go talk to the staff and explain this to them. I'm sure they'll understand.

But yeah, as long as cat does one room we'll be fine. I did one of her rooms cause if she does come back [knock on wood] she won't have time to do both of them. If she doesn't come back I'll have to talk to staff and explain this to them.

Just make sure your rooms are done, off friends only, and have the right title before you leave.

Sorry danger I was too harsh. Yesterday I wasn't in too good of a mood. If your online now pretty please with a cherry on top and sprinkles stay.

Yeah it actually sounded harsh :rolleyes: LOL I am coming on now :)

Hmm maybe since i don't got a team i'll come to your rooms during the competition and check out what it looks like all together

It's a great day, I don't blame ya... I was walking all over the town lol. My bike is at our place at the shore though -_-

Jess
07-26-2006, 08:38 PM
Okay I sent a letter to the black hole asking to take cat off the team list.

Now all we can do is finish our rooms and hope for the best cause most likely the black hole won't reply back.

MissAmber
07-26-2006, 08:48 PM
I feel kind of bad for leaving cat out like this, but your right. It's probably best for the team to get things going and move on. Wherever cat is, she probably has a good reason.

The black hole is EVIL, I tell you... :eek:

07-26-2006, 08:52 PM
i know that this is not my team or anything like that but i got a problem just like yours with cat cake went on a 3 week vacation and did not connect to tink what can i do to take cake off the team i am sorry for posting here just though you can help me and team runoff rapids

Aww I feel bad leaving cat :( What is she comes back like tomorrow? LOL

MissAmber
07-26-2006, 09:44 PM
lol... I'm sure if cat returns anytime soon, we could still give her credit for atleast starting her rooms.

If anyone sees a staff member, try to ask them about the whole cat situation. I don't think Jazz will get a reply from the black hole :o

MissAmber
07-27-2006, 02:29 AM
Yea, I don't think so either. Tomorrow if I get on to get credits for palm trees, I'll try and search one out.

dangerman
07-27-2006, 03:14 AM
Or use the in-game call button if you can't find any! :)

Jess
07-27-2006, 03:23 AM
Are we allowed to use the call button? I thought that was like extreme emergencies only. Actually, this is an extreme emergency. I'm too scared to push it but ya'll are more then welcome to talk to the staff.

MissAmber
07-27-2006, 03:36 AM
If worse comes to worse, then I guess we would have to push the button. Such a shiney... square... tempting button... LOL.

Hopefully one of us can get ahold of staff one way or another, without getting in trouble for pressing the "call for help" button. I'm guessing their idea of an emergency is different then the rest of ours.

dangerman
07-28-2006, 02:15 AM
Really? The help button is for emergencies? LOL I use it all the time XP

Jess
07-28-2006, 03:26 AM

If you do it all the time then you can press it to tell them about cat. They know you now lol.

Just thank them for accepting us, but we've had a horrible horrible problem. A member of ours had computer problems and won't be able to get back on till after the competition. She didn't have time to complete her rooms and we were wondering if we could take her off the team list and do the rooms she was supposed to do. And that we thank the staff for taking the time to read bother with us.

dangerman
07-28-2006, 03:29 PM
Ok jazz, they said to use the contact us button on the homepage. Also said to go more into more specific detail and stuff. But that's because the call for help has only a little amount of space and I couldn't say much O.o So jazz, I guess you should Contact them =P

MissAmber
07-28-2006, 03:48 PM
Best of luck guys with the competition, I'll be leaving in a couple hours. I'll be back on the 5th or 6th, so maybe I'll be back in time for judging. Who knows.

I did, but the category I put it in they wouldn't accept so I had to send it through the problem with the game category. I'll try it again right now.

Edit: I sent them another letter through the 'other' category. It said they should reply within the next 48 hours...

Not to be cold or anything like that but don't you think it is a little unfair to the other teams if you get the OK to readjust your team roster. Didn't it specifically say in the rules that there will be no change in the team members after teams are accepted? If you get the approval then that is not fair to the other teams. I'm sorry if this offends anyone on this team but if VMK is to play fair at this, they should uphold the original rules of this game.

I totally understand where your coming from, but its not like she was here, made her rooms and we just didn't like them and kicked her off the team. Sometimes acceptions can be made when the unexpected happens. We haven't heard back from vmk so who knows what they'll say.

MamaJo
07-28-2006, 04:33 PM
I understand and feel sorry for your guys, but rules are rules. I know if I was on a team and they needed me I would find a way to get to a computer, somehow and get on even for a minute. Go to a friend's house or something like that. I just don't want any ill affects that would come out of this from the other teams.

Zebraa
07-28-2006, 04:43 PM
I know you don't want other teams talking bad about us, but one of our team members hasn't been on for two weeks (or over.. I'm not sure), and if it's actually impossible for her to get online, I think VMK should lets us take her off the roster. All of us have spent a well amount of credits on this, making two rooms each, and we don't want to be disqualified just because of a team member's computer problems.

MissAmber
07-28-2006, 04:46 PM
And you never know - Something worse could have happened to cat, nobody really knows for sure. Hopefully wherever she is, she hasn't forgotten about Team Giraffe. ;)

I'm not trying to make the situation worse... just trying to help. But with whatever happens, goodluck. =)

MamaJo
07-28-2006, 04:47 PM
Yes, I think I can answer for everyone here that we hope nothing bad has happened to your team member. For whatever reason, I am sure she will pull through in the end. I hope you and your team do well in the competition.

Ok Casey, I need you to get on AIM whenever possible. I need to be filled in on whats going on, I got ambers pw and name to hook up the her room to my room, the only problem is that my first room isnt finished, and the second one is not even started =/.

Jess
07-29-2006, 02:34 PM
Sorry I wasn't on earlier. Woke up early to go surfing. I'll be online till probably 10:30 cause I have to get to work but we can meet up on vmk till then. The only I advice I can give to you is FINISH YOUR ROOMS. Are ambers rooms finished? Cause if not, uh, I guess you'll have to do those too lol.
Before I left for new york I gave zebraa 3 teleporters for you so if you see her in the game be sure to get them from her so we can start finishing all this up. I also have the telporter linking ambers room to cat [aka...me]'s room.

Haha, thanks oranges. Hope you guys do great too!

And ryan, I'm sure you'll get this done. You have time, that is, if you decide to sign on and actually do some work. But do remember, if you weren't so behind that talk wouldn't have needed to be given. If I can't motivate you, do it for all the other team members. And just think how awesome it'll be to have that inferno and that top 10 award plus that random extra prize.

Zebraa
07-29-2006, 10:54 PM
Right on, Jazz. Do it for that shiny top ten pin :o

YAY! I FINALLY FINISHED MY ROOM TODAY! All I need is a teleporter linking to danger's room :)

PS. 4 days till judging starts!

Quick question for Ryan. Do you plan on logging on anytime soon? Cause I really need to link all the rooms and your room isn't done. You still haven't been on since the 16th. You need to grab a teleporter from zebraa as your rooms exit and I need to connect cats room to amber.

dangerman
07-31-2006, 06:45 PM
I might as well just finish and complete all my rooms today O.o After I finish I will not be on until the competiton begins :D Unless, I have to connect rooms or something ... lol So maybe until Thursday :)

Danger PM me when you get on. Right now I'm going to the supermarket real quick then I'll be back. If you come on in the 10 minutes I'm gone [which seems to be the recent trend], stay. Oh, and you still need to connect to zebraa also.

Jess
08-03-2006, 05:32 PM
Great, vmk broke. Danger, I guess we'll finish up when its working again. Zebraa has the teleporter that goes to you but if you have to leave before she gets back I'll just buy a new set.

Edit: Nevermind...I guess my computer just decided to not work.

Zebraa
08-03-2006, 09:41 PM
Yay! We're officially all connected. Don't forget to go to all your rooms to check if they're friends only.

PS. Jess asked the help button about cat, and they said "You can not modify your roster at this time, but as long as it's all linked up correctly, it should not be a problem."

Just a heads up, it was Host_Hula who came in and judged. I was able to talk with her a little bit when she came into our last room, very sweet. She did tell me that 'zebra must be sleeping' which really made me laugh. Lol, after waiting so long your asleep! Anyways, I hope all our work was worth it.
