ok this one is just evil. Since there is no map it is a pain to get places and then we have to go all over to other places. I think this is beyond fun right now. :(

Saw people saying they couldn't click on the space sheep for the one.  If having trouble try clicking on the top edge of space sheep's helmet.  That's what worked for me.



Aww, maybe paint your rockets instead Flame.
- looks around for Cheeseyball to dip in the gold paint -  >:D

What room you need Belle?

I remember going to the first room for a table the top left picture room.

I remember entering the room that is in top row to the right with blue grid dance floor for sheep.

I think I went to the 2nd group of rooms there the room just under the red seat things.

There is a LOT of traveling involved with this hunt.  I feel sorry for those without fairy magic.

They moved the sheep it looks like.  I clicked all over it and was able to get it on the helmet.

Make sure you check your inventory for the prize when you're done.  I had one player not get the prize so far.

ROFL.  Paint the rocket and dip the cat.  Love it!

Wow I almost missed last night's scavenger hunt thank goodness I always check nobs for any up to date 411. Cause it is sure not on the VFK homepage. I was kinda like not again. I am getting tired of scavenger hunts. Would like them at most 3 times a week.  Because I spend all my time hunting or helping so takes the socializing out of VFK.

The quest was way to long for people who did not have fairy magic. I get the idea they wanted to introduce us to the space station. But as always VFK not quite ready. Bad enough there was no map but in the room description there was none. So you were not even sure you were in the right room. And those poor people getting to the space pirates deck then being sent to Australia water fall. Come on VFK_Vintage where is your heart. If I was a walker I would have just given up.

The lag was much better last night so maybe they were testing servers capacity.

I figure they are having us do scavenger hunts for some reason. One thing is it keeps the volume high on the site ?I kept thinking is this a way to keep it busy as to get more investors?

Or is it to keep a bunch of people away from Lazer tag cause they are too busy on a hunt. So that the game place will not be as crowded and possibly crash?

Ok that is my opinion of scavenger hunts. I really really hope there is not one tonight.

Not sure why so many hunts but I will be glad when we are back to normal.

Belle, we were told at the beginning of the hunts, that they will happen every day during the "countdown to Gold".  So, until "Gold" goes live, they will keep coming. 

Now.. just when IS Gold going live VFK?

Post by: littlebelle on June 02, 2009, 07:25 AM
I thought gold was june 1st since it said space pirates will open at the end of gold.

I could be wrong of course, but that is what I remember.  If Gold is due to go live with the opening of Space Pirates, then I believe that will be next Sunday?
Title: Re: 6/1 NEW SCAVENGER HUNT IS ON!
Post by: goldengourd on June 02, 2009, 08:26 AM
Yes, that was the latest info. Gold was to be released June 8 (hmm, which would be Monday instead of Sunday???). Scavenger hunts would be every day until then. They just changed their mind on doing a scavenger hunt on Sunday due to so much going on with Space Age Land openning. Okay, do i remember where I got this information. Nope. I think it was Vintage in the Laser Tag lobby on Sunday.


And I am sooooo sorry so many are having trouble with the hunts and this last one.  :'( I need to remember to make my husband his favorite dinner and dessert as a thank you. This computer he got me at the beginning of the year must be awesome. I thought this hunt was easy, the items were easy to see, the hints made sense to me, and I didn't have lag moving around. I had to leave not too much after it started so didn't even get a chance to check this board to see there was some frustration, more less be of much help! Big hugs to you all!  :bighug:

I was up until 2:30 am going after gold paint items hunt... as I had doctors this morning and was so scared it would end by the time I returned from the city.

So, now, waiting for the next...

I would love to see...

Gold surf
Gold ice cream
Gold Snowman
Gold cauldron
Gold pumpkin
Gold panda bear
Gold crate... :lolp: :lolp: :lolp: :lolp:
Gold Clock
Gold Bob
Gold attic trunk


Edit-- Glad I did do them! It actually ended before I returned! wow!

ROFL.  We already have a Gold Bob  :lolg:

Glad you got your hunts done, Pix!  Hope yer DR. visit went well.

2 words:  GOLD ROCKET 'nuff said.  lol.

Actually, anything that is NOT an animal (especially -God help me- not another SHEEP!) at this point in time is welcome!  I love the idea of a gold pumpkin or gold surf.

As to when VFK goes gold?  Seems to be a topic of controversy in other areas of the 'net.  Alot of creative 'wordplay' and 'interpretation' happening based on what VFK had posted on their homepage.  Should we have to 'divine' when VFK is gold?  Short answer:  it hasn't been formally announced yet...so until it is, I gotta go with saying that VFK is NOT gold yet.  JMHO ;)

Flamanar...did my Remicade today...so please bear with Flame :(

wow pix 2:30am - hope doc visit went well.

More gold....hmmm

Would like:
Gold surf
Gold Christmas tree (good idea Belle!)
Gold wreath with silver ribbon/bow
Gold panda bear for our Pix
Gold chair that we can sit on


And depending on our avatar's sex (sex? can we say that here?  :lolg: )
Gold southern belle dress and hat for girls (I know we have yellow, but gold whee)
Gold top hat and coat/pants for guys


I think that's it....did I forget anything?.....hmm, what's that Flame?
Oh..
maybe gold rockets  ;)

aww, hope you feel better Flame,  :bighug:


Edit: Just wandered into First English Countryside room, Vintage was telling a new member to click on the space thingy to start Scavenger Hunt. So this hunt is still there for now.  Vintage did say she thought there would be another one this afternoon.

I told her we all love these Scavenger Hunts and hoped they continue even afterwards.  Age said she thinks they will be a regular event. (How regular was not told  :lolg: )

Yeah...there's some serious problems with the way VFK worded the following sentence:

"With the release of our anniversary client we are starting our count down to gold, which will coincide with the release of Space Age!"

I read that as meaning that the start of the countdown to gold begins with the release of their anniversary client...and gold will coincide with the release of Space Age...meaning that VFK SHOULD be in Gold status by now. 

"With the release of our anniversary client we are starting our count down to gold"...leave off the rest of the sentence (which is separated by a comma) and it looks pretty clear to me.  If you read it any other way, it doesn't make sense.  For example:  you can't say that the starting of their countdown to gold will coincide with the release of Space Age...because what happened to the first part of the sentence that states "With the release of our anniversary client"??  I would think that if they wanted to say the latter, they would have said "We have released our anniversary client.  Our count down to gold will coincide with the release of Space Age!".  I see no count down whatsover.  If they are counting down, then I would think we'd see it.  How many days left?  10?  2?  Whatever.  Just looking at it makes my head hurt right now.  LOL

Flamanar...why does it have to be so complicated?

And thus my confusion of having to do more quest. Well I do have a choice to do or not to do. But then I do not want to miss anything and for my friends that miss out I can still help them :)
