Thar be Pirates ahead!
Will ye be prepared, Matey?


High School Musical
Check out a sneak peek of what you can get right now in VMK.

Trash Talk with Push

Hey everyone!

You may have seen me rolling around the Kingdom but I have not had the chance to meet and talk with everyone. So along with being in VMK, I have taken over a little part of the VMK Newsletter and every week you will get to read something new and exciting from the most FAMOUS trash can in all of Tomorrowland!


On stage now: High School Musical

The High School Musical DVD is now in stores! VMK is part of the action with the new print-at-home High School Musical Quest.

Some of the questions can be answered at home, while others will require a trip to either Disneyland® Park or Magic Kingdom® Park. Answer all the questions correctly to win special VMK High School Musical items.


VMK Cards

Have you ever wondered what cards you are missing in your collection. Well there is now a great new way to discover all the cards for VMK. Check it out


Long Sleeve Clothes

Now that warmer weather is here, we've removed most of the cold-weather gear from the Clothing catalog. We do still have a small selection of jackets for cooler weather, and of course the Everest outfit is guaranteed to keep anyone warm, even when visiting the Yeti.


Room Building Tip

Before you build a room, think of what kind of room you'd like to have. Like a game room or chill room or museum. Another good idea is to pick a theme. For instance, this month is all about pirates. So you could make a really cool treasure trove or pirate prison. There's lots of ideas out there, so get creative and get room building!


Awards and Top Players
What 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.

Check out this week's Best Guest Rooms and Best Game Rooms.

New feature! Click on the name of the room to view an image of the 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.


VMK Staff Profiles
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_Eagle

Three favorite pieces of furniture, and why?

Any color Crate, because you can stack them and make towers, place a chair on them, and chill. The River Rides Pieces are also really fun&sometimes&you never know where they will lead you. And the Crow's Nest Barstool Pole. The same reason as the crates. Stack them and even mix the river pieces to make an awesome ride.

Favorite *type *of Guest Room?

Haunted Mansion Conservatory - Its an eerie room that I think is great for Halloween ( My favorite Holiday )

Favorite Public Space?

The Dungeon. I like Dragons, and it is my favorite NPC.

Favorite Mini-Game? (ie: Pirates, haunted Mansion .. not the hosted games)

The Hunted Mansion Game is awesome. It's a great way to get the credits you need.

Best VMK moment?

Every moment in VMK is the BEST

Favorite place to hang out in VMK?

My Bird Watch Room..It gives off a happy feeling. Sit there and watch the view.

Best tip for someone new to VMK?

If you have a question or need help and can not find a staff member, look for a Community Leader. They can help too.

What one safety tip would you like to share with our readers?

Read the VMK Values!!! They are a big help to keep you out of trouble.

Neoteny

Is it just me, or are the VMK producers obsessed with pianos and organs? There are so many different kinds of furniture they could make, and yet we keep getting more pianos and organs!

Still, this one does look kinda cool.

Of course, they'll probably have us sitting backwards at it again.

I like the new costume, too!

JasonDude

It's hard to type when you're a trashcan with no arms, hands, or fingers.

Naw Push doesn't type the newsletters he has a translater. Besides.. if Eagle typed that then maybe its just Eagle because his section was most typoed. I'll ask Eagle later. Actually its the coders I remember when it said VMK_Hula I told Flight and he said he'd yell at someone lol I'm the one that fixed it! LOL

I haven't checked, but I'm guessing they got rid of the various sweatshirts and long-sleeve shirts.

A very big box with keys and decorations

Neoteny
06-07-2006, 02:39 PM
I thought that was just part of the room. You know, like how the Skull Rock room has treasure already in it before you add furniture.

futuremartymcfly
06-07-2006, 02:45 PM
but this room is just the pirate prision room, and there isn't any box like that.
