Since thoughts are going on, here's some of mine:
I don't care for the host games as they are now- reason being that I and others with slower computers will never win the "game" due to freeze/lag in those "moving" rooms or items we need to move. I did go to the host game one night and tried to wrangle turkeys; however, by the time I(funfly) unfroze I was JUST getting off the gumdrop seat and then saw "xxxxx wins!" I know my chances of winning the game are "slim to none" everytime due to this in these types.
I was lucky, the Host gave to the entire room...otherwise I would not have those items. In the entire time I've played that has happened to me twice. I still go to some of these host games just for the fun of seeing and hoping that I can at least move somewhat during the game. But special thanks to the Hosts who were so willing to give to the entire room at the time - because I was certainly trying and putting effort into (although it didn't look like it probably) - but circumstances kept me from moving, even as much as I was trying.
Sometimes I'll use a clone instead, just in the hopes of having a little less lag on them - the clone still lags, but not as bad as my main.
Really, what I want is the porter host games: "get in, choose porter, keep going, if you got the right porter(s) you win...if not, get in line again and try again" This is fair for mostly all persons with fast or slow computers. At least I know I have a chance of winning. And I believe that more people would be able to actually participate - keep 'em moving!
So, prizes for all would be great! Competition prizes
only to the actual "winners" - if that is the case I should never ever bother to even try the events, I would lose everytime. At least this way, I might be able to participate a little bit when not frozen; and if the host is kind enough to award to the entire room that is a bonus for us players.
The q line - I see both views- I've had numbers in the old system and not gotten in the room. I've waited for a number and never gotten in; other times I have gotten in. Given the choice, I'll take the current q system. Sometimes I let it do the random search for number; other times I exit the 'waiting box' and click to enter the host room again instead. All depends on what I feel like doing at the time. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I don't.
No matter what or how things are done at VFK, there will always be some who complain and others who praise. People complained at VMK, they'll do it at VFK too and other games. Only way to avoid this would be make your own game for yourself so you can be in charge of how you want things done--but once it's opened to other players, watch and wait for complaints, because they will complain.
Poor Raggedy Ann and Andy - I do remember them and had handmade dolls from my Great Aunt; sad that kids don't know these old-time fun pleasures.
But then, you can't text on a Raggedy Ann/Andy
I really, really want those teleporter host games though!
ohmygosh...I wrote a book..
