OK, I have no idea how to post a picture, but I saw on another forum that there is a new prize for the crossword puzzles; it is NOT the --cough cough-- forum, as that one appears to be down for maintenance.
It is a type of desk lamp (yes, for the desks ?? we have, lol), that I refer to as a "bankers" lamp, with a green top.
Sorry I couldnt do better; maybe Flame can post a pic later on, ;)
And BTW: it was NOT Cindi-Lu who won the first one of these, hehe.

She wasn't? OMG! :ahh: LOL, she is still second though. :lolg:
All kidding aside, I can't wait to see a pic of another lamp I won't get. LOL!

Aww.....no lamp for Krazy at all? Boo hiss! Yes dear Cindi was indeed second: but that does not asssure a lamp, just ask me and flame we know; sometimes second place = ZERO credits even!!!
Anyhow I am sure Flame will go "borrow" the said picture and bring it here for us to gawk at!

Thank you for the update!
I borrowed a screen shot from VFKFF to post here, updated first post with pic. It's called a Banker Lamp.

Woot! Thanks Astro! And I guess I was right, its a "bankers lamp".
As for what you have to say on the subject of Cindi-Lu, I think that is the most profound thing I have heard on the subject to date; I have heard some really interesting things but I think what you have to say to says it best.....lol

I try (key word try) and keep myself out of trouble that way. :notme: :laugh2: Seriously, we all know the what the majority of the kingdom has to say about that subject anyway. heh

At least it wasn't the first puzzle, first to get the lamp though! :wavet:

which puzzle is it :sur:
Belle, the puzzle prizes are only given out for the WordMix or traditional Crossword puzzles. These puzzles can be found under your "Menu" button, and then click on "Crossword Puzzle". VFK places BOTH WordMix and Crossword Puzzles under the option of Crossword Puzzle at various times thoughout the day. Below are the times for both (sometimes VFK puts them up a few minutes earlier or later, just an FYI): ** Remember, only the 1st person to solve the puzzle first gets the prize, others solving it get a chance to spin the wheel to win. ** Prizes currently are NOT given out for either Sudoku or Word Search Puzzles. Hope this helps?
WordMix: 6:30AM Eastern
WordMix: 12:30PM Eastern
Crossword: 8PM Eastern

WordMix: 6:30AM Eastern

It helps me cause I knew nothing about a Spinning Wheel. What is that all about?

If you solve either the WordMix or Crossword puzzle correctly, you get a chance to spin the wheel for the current puzzle prize. If you don't get the prize, you get an amount of credits from Zero to 475 I believe. :)

Oh crap, now I need to do puzzles more again with all the mansion ghosts, mazes, :madder: quests I have yet to finish....
But, it does look like a nice desk lamp for our umm...tables. :lolg:

ROFL, Fun! :rofl1:
Don't worry, I think many of us feel the same way. :heat: There just are not enough "play" hours in the day, to keep up with all of this!

Oh my I am so far behind, I had stopped doing the puzzles because I was to tired staying up all night working on them, but now maybe I might try one just so I can see what this spinner thing is like.
Thanks for the info Astro! Hugzzzzz! :bighug:

Krazy, remember you can do these puzzles at your leisure. The start times are basically just if you want to try and be the 1st to finish - therefore guaranteed a prize for 1st place finish. So don't stress, I have done the puzzle before like 1:30 AM, that is when I won my lamp previously. The spinning wheel is very random, so it does not matter when you complete these puzzles, for a chance to win. Everyone has the same odds.

Ok, I hope I don't jinx this for my Mom, but she is soooooooooooooooo darn lucky. Not only has she won the Stepped Wall and Window Wall (which I have none) she now has gone up and won the Banker's Lamp. I spun first and got 250 credits and then it was her turn. Well, at least, out of a gazillion tries I finally got a Water Pump from the maze, but no cart yet. She has none of them though so I will probably give her mine. LOL!
Ty for the help Astro, this was the first time we used the wheel and I like the idea. Its like the mazes where everyone gets a chance at something, but I wish they didn't have a 0 on there. Everyone should get something even if it is only 25 credits. 0 seems to harsh after doing all that work.

Yes, I don't think any of us like the Zero credits on the wheel idea, especially after taking the time to solve the puzzle. :td:

Oh crap, now I need to do puzzles more again with all the mansion ghosts, mazes, :madder: quests I have yet to finish....
But, it does look like a nice desk lamp for our umm...tables. :lolg:
:lolg: Wow, Fun, my first two words when I saw this were also "Oh crap"...
I feel like VFK needs to start paying us to play, it is becoming a full time job! :rofl1: :sur:

I agree with the above comments. There is a lot to keep up with. We (general term not we as in specific people) complain when there are no updates and then again when there is too much. :notme: Time to take a deep breath -it is just a game, not real items...- ahh I feel better. Although I do still feel the desire to have one of each item. :lolg: Back to work ;)

I feel the same as everyone else. The starting of the holiday season is usually the beginning of a few months of mayhem on VFK, though.
Unfortunately, there are almost never schedules on VFK for when things are happening or when things are being released. This makes the player feel like they need to monitor VFK 24/7...lest they miss something. So much switching of items/events so quickly. So much time needed to do some of the events/acquire prizes. Items so elusive. Sigh. We go for periods of time with nothing happening on VFK. Then: BOOM. Everything at once...and for a short time, only. Haven't we been down this road before? :sur:
Flamanar...sleep? who needs it... :sleep:

Much agreed about the holiday season, Flame. Halloween marks the beginning of a lot happening for us until after New Year's for the most part. This year, we are blessed to be taking a trip to Florida to see Adam's parents and spend a week at Disney. However, it will be a little stressful as we leave the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I will be taking the laptop with me this trip. I just know there will be lots of Christmas quests/items. At WDW, I can hop on during breaks and at night. At Adam's parents' place, it will give me a break from the in-laws. :lolg:
