Also there is another picture with someone in there signature says they need someone and they're not taken, but I forgot to take the name off of the profile so I won't post it.
But what do you think about this, post any wrong things in VMK as well.
I know there is a thread like this but I think taken belongs in another :D
But taken baby and mummy is wrong on VMK. VMK is a place to have fun.

Taken and that stuff isn't against the rules so it is ok.
Shayjack 07-11-2006, 10:26 PM And for some people taken and mummy is fun. It's like that game most little kids play, "house." Although it is really weird.
DisneyFiggy 07-11-2006, 10:27 PM Taken and that stuff isn't against the rules so it is ok.
But it's wrong to do taken in a virtual game where no one knows eachother only if they know the person in real life who plays VMK.

Sorry for the double post, but what you said is true. All they want is attention! And they sure do get it by alot. What I just said in my above post is what a guest said while me and BBallman were playing haunted mansion and I was looking at the chat logs and it was true.

Altho its wrong it is still ok, its there choice and not someone elses:wave2:
Cadbury of Redwall 07-11-2006, 10:31 PM uh..dude.. VMK has been like this for AGES. And like 1/2 of VMK does it, so staff cant really ban you for doing taken, because so many people do it. Not that I do it myself, but you cant stop it :(
CurlySlim 07-11-2006, 10:36 PM And for some people taken and mummy is fun. It's like that game most little kids play, "house." Although it is really weird.
Okay, my friend who is as old as me asked me if I wanted to play "house", I thought we had out grown that! Anyway, yes it is wrong even if staff say it's not!
Banning people who do "taken" would take away 1/2 of the VMK population. Bottom line.
Side Note: There are a million threads on this. Try searching this issue and I'm sure you would find more than you bargain for. ;)

You know that would actually be good. There would be alot less dc's if the VMK population was cut in half.

2 VMK's, one server for half players like 2,000 another for another 2,000 :o! that would be nice :D
CaptHookFan 07-11-2006, 11:09 PM its ok for them to do that, theres no rules saying its not ok...
but i agree they shouldnt be doing that
dogsdogs 07-11-2006, 11:14 PM I highly dislike 'Taken' and 'Bay be'
sure taken things are 'ok' to staff
but do you know what they do?!
its sick and wrong. they use words like 'make' and 'shower'
its very disturbing
and sometimes there are doctor room
taken people pretent to hard
i think it should be banned
Rachal 07-11-2006, 11:17 PM I remember my sister was on vmk and she went to go sit by a boy in a car in Sci-fi.
Sis:Hi
Boy:I'm already taken
Sis:Well I guess you can't say hi then
My sister is very animated. When she said "Well I guess you can't say hi then", she was saying it sad not with attitude. You can't even say hi to people anymore!
Gamma_Ray_Scientist 07-11-2006, 11:18 PM Oh yeah look what I found in Main Street

SistaLena 07-11-2006, 11:18 PM They couldn't afford to ban 1/2 of the population of VMK. VMK is truly an advertise, hidden within a (fun) game. The whole point in VMK is to get kids to beg their parents to spend their well-earned money at a Disney theme park, so that that kid can recieve special VMK furniture, clothes, etc.
I bet it would be interesting to know how much money Disney has made off of VMK advertisement. ;)

This is truly an oppinion and is not meant to offend anybody in any way.
Off Topic- EDIT: BTW, does anybody know what a 'ranch hand' is? I was playing the fireworks game on my brother's character (who is currently a guest) and I got first place. When I was walking down some girl started blabbing 'Oh there goes another ranch hand', 'ranch hands aren't fair to other players', etc. I don't know if she was talking to me or not but I wanted to know if anybody else knows about it.

Random, LOL
A ranch hand is someone who basically helps out on a ranch, like a farm or something. Sometiems they are hired to help for money.
Maybe "ranch" is someone user name and they are mad at ranch or something
Why would they say ranch hand? :confused:
DinoVan 07-12-2006, 12:21 AM i find it ok because all it is little kids playing house. but when they see rooms called anti taken club and stop babys they now it annoys us so then (because they are like 4-6) they do that more to annoy us and have fun.
if we just drop the topic maybe they will get tired of it and stop.
i knew a couple of people who did that whole doctor thing (not the ok gives band aid and all that it was the horrible doctor stuff) i came in to say hi and ugh it was horrible, i made a big deal about how it isnt good and all and she didnt listen and did it 24/7 then i said you know i made a huge deal about it and its nothing big and she stopped.
i figure if we stop making a huge deal out of it it will make the taken population go down. because half of them do that just to annoy us and test us to the point where were insane.

snowegoof 07-12-2006, 12:24 AM ah-hem, this is a g-rated site and talking about taken isn't allowed. please consider closing this thread.
Angel Fancy 07-12-2006, 12:37 AM I also think vmk is the wrong place for this. I have a friend in real life on vmk. Everytime I see her in vmk I don't know what she is going to say, It's either, I am so sad. My boyfriend broke up with me. or I am so happy. I have a new boy. He's so sweet. I'm like yeah, yeah. I know the next time I see her she's going to tell me he broke up with her and she doesn't know why. Don't get me wrong. She's a nice girl and all but she drives me crazy with her boyfriend tales. I like to come on vmk, make friends and have fun. I had a boy that followed me around today asking me if I was taken and all. Everytime I turned around there he was. I finally left and took him off my list. He kind of scared me. VMK is a place to have a good time. Not a place to feel scared. My gosh, I have enough problems in real life as it is. I want to get away from those problems and VMK is my hideaway. Angel Fancy :wave2:
acebraeden 07-12-2006, 01:02 AM disneyfiggy is right girls say to me want to be taken i say no and 1 time i said yes to a girl and she was grossing me out far time :eek: :eek: luckly i report her before she left and i deleated her .....do not ask ppl about being taken trust me you do not want to deal what happend to me

Wow! Gosh Now they're assuming things.. ah VMK can be so odd sometimes, I've found
vmkstar99 07-12-2006, 11:04 AM uh..dude.. VMK has been like this for AGES. And like 1/2 of VMK does it, so staff cant really ban you for doing taken, because so many people do it. Not that I do it myself, but you cant stop it :(
Yeah, maybe everyone cannot walk around VMK saying "dont do taken", but i can have a word with sulake.
CoolGonza 07-12-2006, 12:24 PM at least we dont see any kisses or hugs in vmk, that will be worst.
If u have any problems with taken , why dont u send a e-mail to vmk saying that the word taken can bring a ban from game lool
jk.
Taken is not against to rules sometimes it is fun feeling virtual love in the air.
Juneau 07-12-2006, 12:37 PM [What follows is an unbiased reply on "Taken". The writer dislikes the idea, but in this post, he is willing to look at the other side so that this whole taken arguement that has been going on for the last year or so can be toned down a bit]
"Taken" and everything has been going on for almost as long as VMK has. So has the wole "Cute or Boot" and all these dare I say "Shallow" activities.
I've never gone in with the taken thing, but it is true that over 1/2 the VMK population do actually like the taken idea. If you don't like it, don't fret. I "wasted" a good week or two of being a CL back in December telling people that taken is "wrong" because of the age rating on the game, but they didn't care. [Co-incidentally, I lost my CL-ship after being inactive during a month when I was revising for exams, rather than being online, but that's offtopic.]
People know that VMK is designed for people aged 14 and younger, but there are people on VMK in their 20s and above. It's Disney. It's going to attract older people too, and frankly, if VMK is trying to be exactly like a virtual disneyland, then it's going in the right way. I mean, DL-Security don't rush up to couples in park and say "Excuse me, can you take that out to the parking lot. We don't allow this sort of thing here".
People are just trying to live what they see as Disney in RL. Disney is a "family" place, so people are turning round and saying to themselves: "Wait, VMK is like the real Disney..." and are making their own "families". Travelling a Disney park alone is fun, since that's how I do it on some vacations, but it's more fun when you do it in a group of people. The people who do all this "taken" and such are probably just trying to make their VMK experience more like the experiences they have had in Disney parks, being with close friends and family.
To be quite frank, VMK can leave "taken" as it is. It's drawing people in, it's not pushing people away. So long as they keep the Dictionary there, it means nothing worse can really happen in VMK involving "taken". People can't hand out email addresses, they can't give out phone numbers, they can't say which state or country they are in, and they can't give away a home address. People can't, technically, track you down from VMK without any of that information so, technically, VMK's "taken" fad is pretty much a safe way of meeting new friends, and hanging out with them more.
What I mean by that is, I have a good few friends on VMK, but I've only ever talked to about 5 at most in the whole time I have been there. So, this whole taken thing means you keep in touch with the other person by VMK messaging or playing games together.
Basically, you can't complain about "taken" because although on the surface it seems like it's full of bad points, when you look at the other angles, it does contain good points as well.
You could talk to Sulake, or contact the hosts about it, but seriously, if they banned everyone who has EVER done "taken", there'd be about 1000 people left on VMK and it'd be pretty boring walking an empty site.
