Well after mulling it through I will be sending this letter off to VFK
Was I disappointed that I did not win. NO. was I disappointed that I did not make honorable mention. Yes. Did I deserve to be. Maybe
Because maybe there are kids that need it more.
What really upset me is the following
1. I was looking forward to riding many rides had planned to keep my room open all weekend. But to my dismay it was not showing up on popular rooms when I had three people in it. But popular rooms was showing 1 person in a room.
2. I contacted help and was suggested I refresh and clear my cookies. Because the VFK staff had no clue what was going on. That they would talk to the developer.
3. NO communication on the front page. To let people know their rooms would be locked. That rooms descriptions would not show, That basically you built a room no one would see. Rumours say it was to stop people form copying. That does not make sense because my best rooms were my second and third rooms. My first just to start the story.
2.Some of the winning rides or honorable mention did not seem to have this issue. They could be found on friends rooms. Many of my good friends won and they so deserved to win. NO questions there!!!!. But why did their rooms show up under my friends places but many other rooms did not.
3. NO room description. I did not use a blackboard so even if my friends found me. The had no clue what they were riding except what I told them. I put a lot of effort into the rooms descriptions to tell a story. Did hosts even know what hey were riding?
?
4. I built not to win. I built to have others enjoy my creativity. Not easy to build a dragon out of hedges
I tried to use items that normally would not be used that way to see if people could figure out what they were. That was part of the fun. Who knew green lambs which I really did not like could be turned into green grass mounds
5. But only a few friends saw my 2 weeks of every day building my room. And many less will every see it. Why because now the competition is over. My room is still locked. It has no description. It can not be found unless I am in it and my friends teleport to me from friends list. It does not show up under friends places.
6. This is what makes me angry, frustrated and extremely disappointed with VFK. Judges will be judges they have their tastes. But not allowing others the joy of showing off their rooms is just wrong!!!! You took the fun out of the competition. The joy in building. The fun is in sharing and seeing so many wonderful rides.
7. why waste time, energy, passion to have a handful see you room.
