http://avmk.disney.go.com/media/vmk/en_US/calendar/VMK-newsletterBestGameRoom.jpgWhat makes a Guest Room award-worthy?
Guest or Game Rooms that stand out show originality in concept and design. It could be a use of conventional furniture in unconventional ways, the use of a theme or color, or humor. Game rooms that get the nod offer a new game idea or a new twist on an old favorite. In all rooms we look for room owners who welcome everyone with a smile and show a willingness to answer questions about their room.

Scam Alert
All Quests, whether they are official VMK Quests or Quests made by Players, are free to everyone. Please don't pay anyone to do their Quest, or for help completing Quests. If a Player is asking for items before you can join their Quest, or to be "paid" to help you with a Quest, please report them and then leave their room. No prize is worth being scammed over, and VMK won't replace these items for you. Players caught charging to participate in Quests may be banned for scamming.

Each week we interview a different member of the VMK Staff. Pay attention - the answers may prove useful in VMK-hosted trivia games!
Staff name:VMK_Runo
Three favorite pieces of furniture, and why?
*Bubbling Cauldron: I've always wondered whose skull that is in there. *The Photo Album: a great way to remember all the fun times I've had on VMK. *Green rocketship couch: Not only is it stylish, it's incredibly comfortable.
Favorite *type *of Guest Room?
Pirate Prison!
Favorite Public Space?
The Frontierland Dock - I like to go fishing on my breaks!
Favorite Mini-Game?
(ie: Pirates, haunted Mansion .. not the hosted games) I'm not very good at any of them, but I seem to be improving at Pirates, so that's probably my new favorite.
Best VMK moment?
Something new and exciting happens all the time, so my best moment changes each day.
Favorite place to hang out in VMK?
Matterhorn, throwing snowballs with the Yeti. Why do you think everyone yells "Run!" when they see me?
Best tip for someone new to VMK?
Don't beg others for free items. Just talk to people, get to know them, and try to make friends. You'll find that most people will be more than happy to show you how to earn your own credits and items, and they may even be nice enough to donate some of their stuff! I see it happen all the time.
What one safety tip would you like to share with our readers?

Best Guest Rooms
http://avmk.disney.go.com/media/vmk/en_US/global/BestRoomBadge.gifBest Guest Room - 1st Prize
The Giving Tree NPC! by MarkZx is a very busy, colorful room full of trees. TheGiving-Tree greets each Player and grants one wish. The outcome is very unpredictable and you never know what you'll get. A request for Dancing Inferno might get you a camp fire, and asking for a glass of water just might get you a fountain.
Okalyn shows she is a pirate fan in Pirates life for me!, a dance floor with a pirate's theme. The owner is friendly, accommodating, and definitely loves to dance! No scallywags allowed, as she makes sure VMK values are followed, and good times are "treasured" most of all! Arrrrrr.
Best Game Rooms
http://avmk.disney.go.com/media/vmk/en_US/global/BestGameRoomBadge.jpgBest Game Room - 1st Prize
Oboeman's Deal or No Deal is a clever version of the popular TV show complete the chance to make a deal or no deal with the room owner. Hidden behind a tiki fence is the evil banker who makes offers and keeps the crowd amused with their antics.
Best Player Quests
http://avmk.disney.go.com/media/vmk/en_US/global/BestQuestPinBadge.jpgBest Player Quest - 1st Prize
Take a Quest to Never Land courtesy of room owner IMSnazzy. Visit your favorite friends like Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook and some mermaids! This quest is not about where you end up; but about having fun along the way.
Players who have been previously recognized for their design talents will receive the VIP award.
