Title: Phinny's Trade Event
Post by: Antjewel on November 08, 2007, 06:56 PM
Well that was a bunch of fun.  :madder: I got on vmk 15 minutes before the event. I loaded all my clothes and items to reduce lag. I waited patiently for the room to open. It opens and I see only one person in the queue. But for some reason the room doesn't load, my screen is just blue. I waited it out and the little load box finally came up but it didn't say where i was in line. It loaded very strangly. Finally I made it in the room and see that Phinny has on the following pins:

WDW Contemporary
WDW Grand Floridian
HKDL Hollywood
DLR Disneyland Hotel
TDL Miracosta
DLR Grand Californian

I get all excited to see that I might finally get a Grand Floridian pin and 3 people before my trade, my DSL decides to disconnect for no apparent reason. Fun times, but for a change, it was not VMK's fault it was my stupid DSL.  :cpuhammer: :cpuhurl: :cpuhammer: :cpuhurl:

Well...it might have been the VMK grabbed your connection by the wires deal.  Don't kid yourself, you know it was VMK's fault!

Believe me Ant it wasn't your DSL it was VMK.  I too came on VMK before the event and when I tried to sign on for the event all I got was a box saying there is to many people in line and try to get in line another time.  I did try all night and the queue had many different numbers of people that were waiting in line so I asked my friend and she said Fin is aware of the problem and is working on it, but it did that all night.  I did have another friend tell me that VMK did have a time where they made it so only a few people could wait in line at a time, but I think that is lame.  I mean I could of been doing other stuff instead of trying all night to get into the host room and not succeeding.  I mean is it me or does it seem all these so called improvements are just making things worse on VMK?

Time to bust out the favorite smile again!

Big hugs everyone. 

Sounds like I missed out on some VMK frustration.
Congrats to anyone that did get and and complete a trade.
