:'(Aww Poor Fish.i!
I don't know if I'll get on for the game (kids come for dinner on Tuesdays..depends on how fast I can feed them and send them home..LOL)
But I will buy extras on EI for her..new water related stuff today and yesterday.

Aww.  At least she's covered on Elf.  That's real nice of you, paws!  She's pretty upset about the computer being broken, and wasn't on yesterday or today yet...which leads me to believe she probably won't make it on tonight either.

Also, please keep in mind PrincessWendy and KingQuack and their two kids - not sure if they've seen this game announced or if they're up to the 'challenge'

Very true, Fun.  They did make a short appearance on the street closing last night.  Let's hope and pray they're improving everyday!  It was so awesome to see them both again :)

Saw them logged on this evening, so thinking they were most likely able to attempt the Event.   :thumbs:

Good Luck All!

Woot!

I did win a gnome on a rock it says-- guessing they are all the same for now, idk.

Good news is I saw KingQuack and PrincessWendy in the Host Rooms!



Edit: Astro just saw your post - yep they are logged in and I saw them both (different times/different host rooms) but both were in Host Rooms.

Yes, all 3 Host rooms winning teleporters are giving the same prize.  Gnome on a rock.  Someone had asked the question in Dragon's Host Room I believe.  And she confirmed.

Belle, Redoagain won! Did he win another too? Hope so.

I am not sure on the winning over thing, so I'm rotating the group.

Poor Fish.i

Paws, did you get a gnome?

YAY on King and Wendy! I was worried about them missing this! That pumpkin garden of Wendy's so need gnomes!!!

I received a sweet note from Princess shortly after the Host Game started and I saw the she and King were on!  Hope that's a good sign that she is on the road to recovery!!

Signed into the game very close to the 3 pm Pacific Time start and I was delighted to find I was number 56.  However, as VFK tried to transport me into the Host Game, I became stuck in that transition screen!!  Fortunately the Help button was working and I quickly sent VFK a note asking them if I should continue waiting or what?  Finally, since I had to get back to work, :lolg: I pressed the refresh key.  I was very happy to almost immediately receive a Pop Up message from VFK.  They gave me a gnome since I had difficulties getting into the Game! :clap1: Isn't that a great sign that VFK continues to move in the right direction?  :thumb:

I logged in on spares who don't own much to help cut the lag. Kept doing "Disk Cleanup" every so often while they all waited.

None got the dc, one spare got booted from host room just as he entered - sent message to Help and almost immediately was sent back "sorry, check inventory..." they sent him the gnome.

Yep, yep Disco, good sign!  :thumb:

Loved the fact they had 3 host rooms open with each having half the porters as winners!  :2thunbs:

Hugs to everyone for thinking of us!  :hug: :bighug: We did make it on tonight and were able to get some little gnomes. Last night we hopped on for the last ten minutes of closing on Main Street. It was my first time back in game for weeks. I knew it would take me a while to catch up here. I am hoping to catch everyone up on how we are doing. I am feeling a little better and grandma has the kids until Friday so I can rest and do some doctor visits and follow up tests. Boo. :td: Hehe :lolg:

Hugs and Happy Gnome Hunting!  :gns:

So glad to hear you are feeling better, Wendy!  Get those blech tests and dr. visits out of the way.  Ugh...

More good news:  Fish.i was able to log on tonight and do the teleporter games!  She's working with a computer not firing on all cylinders...but it worked well enough for her tonight :)

The game was pretty non-eventful for us tonight.  A couple crashes.  Fins line seemed to have MAJOR problems for at least the first half of the game.  It crawled at a snails pace (when it moved).  Dragons was a little better, but not by much it seemed.  Harmonys line....ROCKED!  We ended up staying in her line to finish the game.

Was a bit of an odd game in that it wasn't the clear teleporters (that look like big window panes) like I was expecting.  It was a ride/teleporter/ride game.  lol.  Alot of bottlenecks at the entrance to the host rooms (unavoidable).  It's gotta be extremely hard for the hosts to boot AFK people from there.  I still prefer the ride-a-thons that automagically put you on the ride...rather than having people take minutes to choose which ride to get on...or to talk up the hosts.  Runs alot quicker and alot less waiting.

Noticed one or 2 interesting things during the game:

The parrots were programmed to say 'hi' for the hosts and to give directions.  LOL.  Very clever.

Also saw during part of Harmonys ride a standing gnome that isn't out yet.  Looks cool :)

Love the gnomes :)

So glad to hear you are better Princess.  :hug:

And if anyone missed out on the gnomes, I have an extra one.

Doh...almost forgot to add that they did indeed allow each player to win as many times as they wanted.  Sheesh  :hmm:

Yup, it was allowed.  Not sure if I'd rely on that in the future, though.  I guess the best idea is to ask the first host we see if one player can win multiple times (and take a pic of their response, of course).  Looks like the rules tend to change with the event.  :notme:
