Q. Are you taken?
A. No, having a girlfriend or boyfriend in VMK is strictly against VMK Values. You don't know who you're talking to, no matter what they say. Don't ever say you're taken or ask anybody if they're taken.

Q. Where do you get magic pins and what do they do?
A. Magic pins are pins your character can wear that put a special magic effect on your character. The different ones are:
-Inferno: this pin is awarded at specai levents by staff.
-Fireworks: This pin is from getting over 240,000 points in the castle fireworks game.
-Ghost/Invisibility: This is awarded by getting in the top 10 high score list in the Pirates of the Carribean game.
-Frosty: This pin is buyable for the holidays!
-Teleportation: This is one of the Tomorrowland Quest prizes. (See above.)
-BlingBling, Pirate Costume, Cursed Storm: These are available from codes found in Kellogg's breakfast cereal.
Hope that these answered some questions for some of you newer players out there!
Happy Holidays,

Some very Good Advice.

Although the VIP is probably harder to find now a days since they are not giving it out at WDW anymore (I don't think they are at DL either)

But otherwise, very good post

Yes, but as of today, they are still giving it out. Later, I will edit that so that all info is correct. When Frosty disappears I will edit him too.

Thanks!! Do you think its good enough to go in the Nesletter on VMK or be stickied? I hope so! It was my first time I sent something to be in the newsletter!

Also add in what testers, staff, and CLs jobs are. And, add in that question "Are you taken?" and say: no, but it is wrong for VMK, so don't do it!

There is tons of beta, but the most valuable is Green Flippers, the least valuable is Yellow Saddle Seats (they are buyable; but still beta) You would probably get a better respinse on a board where someone has lsted all the beta.
