Everest Month = the best month VMK ever did.
The Monster's Opening pin was awesome, I got donated one in the Emporium, and I also won one from a friend's game.

I remember getting loads of Ice playing pirates with Batleth, and eventually building a room with them all which I kept till the end.. woot woot.
Very nice issue, thanks!!

The Hannah Montana quest. I never did it, but I remember everyone complained about it.(including myself) The super bowl room was spectacular and one of my favorite rooms.

Everest month was awesome. Also, I remember all those winning guest rooms. There was so much controversy on VMKF about the Trapped winning game room. I remember people saying it wasn't creative and shouldn't have won. I still think it shouldn't have won, but whatever.

Oh and checkers... I'm sure people remember I was champ for the first week, no?
Hannah Montana quest was so easy. People even gave me their quest pins (back when I was totally obsessed with Hannah Montana..).
