The Inland Ocean Shop!


Whoa! We hit the waves big time, surfing comps, the whole works, and man was it a blast! Now we're going to be heading back - home-sweet-home (well, it's not really our home, like who would live in a store?), but, dude, we used to spend so much time there we were like, "We should go home to our shop!" and we're back! So, we’re going to be hanging at the Inland Ocean Shop starting this anniversary and we're giving it a way needed make over, because totally, when we first walked in, we were like "DUDE!"

That's the message we got from our Inland Ocean surfing duo, turns out, with all their travelings no one has seen them in ages!

Between renovating, straightening up and being cool in general, we know you will want to know all about them!

So, as it gets closer to our anniversary you will be hearing more from them and what they are doing!

Also, more information will be coming about the anniversary and all the exciting things that we have planned!

So check back often!

VFK Barbeque Quest 2013!

7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, May 5th, 2013 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, May 6th, 2013.

Barbeque can be spelled as barbeque, barbecue or just simply BBQ, but don't worry, all are correct! Seasoned barbequers not only can't agree on a spelling, but they can't agree on anything else about barbequing either! There are some general guidelines for preparing barbeque, but most everything including the right cooking method, the best meat to use and the ultimate flavorings are hotly debated! Because there are such a variety of preparation methods, the origins are tricky to trace. So, get out your grill and your favorite BBQ recipe and let's take a look at barbecuing!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Hanging Grill Fire Pit!

Designers are the Best Judges!

Crafting something beautiful from the earth can be challenging, even harrowing sometimes! But with a little love, a lot of bug spray and a big shovel, you're well on your way to a blossoming Eden!

Once the whistle blows and everyone puts down their favorite gardening tool, you and your sun burned, dirt stained neighbors, will weigh each other's creations with an all too deserving scrutiny!

That's right, all those who have entered the Garden Room Competition, will also have the chance to be a judge!

On Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time), all you have to do to start judging, is to check under the Menu, and select the Judging option!

After the judging is complete you will receive your special judging awards!


How does the Judging work?

You will be assigned a room to judge at random.

You will not be assigned your own design to judge.

The maximum number of rooms you can judge is limited to 60 rooms.

Every time you complete the judging of 10 rooms, you will earn one of the special judging awards.

After you enter a Garden Room to be judged, your judging/rating tool will activate after 30 seconds.

In the final analysis, the ratings you give a room will be weighted based on how high your design is scored by other judges. If your design is getting all 10's, then your judging will be given more weight than if you were getting all 1's!


Judging the Judges!

That's right, judging the judges!

The judges whose actual ratings are closest to the final scores of their assigned Garden Designs will receive the Best Garden Room Competition Judge Pin!

All judging must be completed by Monday, May 6th, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time).

Avast, Me Hearties!

Aye, for those that be space pirates there be new booty to be had!

If ye be one of the lucky ones and not numbered among the dead, a life as a space merchant could be in yer future.

Arrr, not any land lubber can be a space merchant matey, it takes a seaman, Aye, a seaman! Those that be willing to sail into danger and fight! I can see ye got the makings of greatness matey, so I'll let you in on a secret---what ye be needing is a map, a treasure map, aye the kind only that lass Solaria can read with her Destiny lamp as she calls it. If ya find a map, ye be bringing it t' her!

Finding a map is risky business though, many a ship ye'll be sending to the deep before ya find one, and sending out a ship to follow it will take gold and silver, but it be a small price when new booty, treasure and gold await ye.

Once yer ships are out among the stars they be taking a mighty long while to get back, 'Tain't much good just waitin' around for 'em though, if ya don't check to see if yer crew got poisoned by giant spiders or taken captive by cut throats and scallywags, them won't be come'n back unless ya send 'em medicine or pay ther ransome. If ye be wantin' to know, the Galactic Trading Post has all the news about yer vessels among the stars.

Now me hearty, when yer ship comes back, there might be no other booty than an old shoe, but if luck blows a favorable wind, yer ship will sail back from its long voyage laden with gold and treasure fit for a king! Arrr, fit for the king ye'll be matey!

Ye'll be ready to start a life as a space merchant when the lass has her Lamp on the counter!!

Good luck to ye! Treasure and fame await, if ya have the nerve t'go aft' it!

The Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat!

Have you ever wanted a fluffy nest full of adorable little cheeps? Well now is your chance to have one! You may ask yourself, why has something so cute been kept from me for so long?

We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when want for unbelievably cute stuff is most keenly felt, and what could be more unbelievably cute than the Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat? Nothing of course!

Now comes the task of acquiring the Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat, as with everything, some amount of effort must be put in to obtaining it.

In this case, we would need to feed the chickens, fluff the nest, make sure the eggs are nice and toasty, and then... hug and cuddle the fuzzy cheeps so they are bubbling over with happiness!

Well this is a lot of work, but fortunately for us, Miss Claira has been busy all month feeding, fluffing and caring for all the little Easter Cheeps! After all this, she now has a large inventory of Ultimate Easter Nest Hats full of Easter Cheeps waiting for an Easter Home!

For the Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat, Miss Claira is accepting an exchange, one of each Easter Hunt Egg from the four previous Easters, for her new nest of little cheeps, just out of their eggs and full of curiosity!

Along with your nest of cheeps, you will also receive the Ultimate Easter Egg Collection Pin, to show you are a certified Ultimate Easter Egg Collector!

So dust off your egg storage and sort all those little Easter Eggs into neat stacks of colors and patterns! Just how many Easter Eggs are there? Miss Claira knows!

When you think you have all the Easter Eggs, go to Autumn Imports and click the Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat on the counter, you can then trade your Easter Eggs for the Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat!

If you don't have a complete collection of Easter Eggs, Miss Claira will let you know, and you can go searching for your missing Easter Hunt Eggs!

Remember, you will only need the small Easter Eggs collected in the Easter Egg Hunts from the four previous Easters, not the big Easter Eggs that were sold at the Gift Shoppe!

The Ultimate Easter Cheep Nest Hat will be available in Autumn Imports this Weekend!

So get cracking, so to speak... And round up all those Easter Eggs before the conclusion of our Easter Celebration!



The 2013 Easter Calendar Has Arrived!

To open the doors on the Easter Calendar: First, just click the number on the door, then by clicking again, and dragging, the door will open and reveal that day's picture!

All New Red Hot Balloon Game!

Yes, in this new game based on fast reflexes and team spirit the object is to NOT be holding the red hot balloon when the game spinner stops. So, when you enter the game, choose your team, then a red hot balloon will be passed to one of the players. It then becomes a frantic passing free-for-all in an attempt to get rid of that red hot balloon before you are burned! The team not holding the red hot balloon when the spinner stops wins!

Be here on Saturday and watch for this exciting balloon game at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (2:00 PM Eastern Time) Saturday, March 2nd!

Daytona Weekend 2013 Racing Extravaganza - Race Day Results!


Our racing participants have burned a lot of rubber on the race day track, and with all the amazing lap times, it's easy to see the enthusiasm in this year's Daytona Weekend 2013 Racing Extravaganza!

Each of these 200 reports includes not only the location of the car, but also time, velocity and direction. Taken together with the start and end server times recorded on the server, this race was amazing in every way!

Your flashlight fails, and you've only got a pack of gum and a half-eaten granola bar for provisions. Can you feel your way out of the woods, and live to tell the tale? Or will you be lost in the forest forever?

Only you can be the judge of what happens on this arctic adventure, in Mintie's Frozen Fantasy Forest!

If by chance you stumble out of the forest and into the sunlight, your efforts will be rewarded by a cup of hot cocoa, a warm fire and something to take home with you!

Mintie's Frozen Fantasy Forest will open at 3:00 PM Pacific Time (6:00 PM Eastern Time) Saturday, January 19th!

Check the Event Calendar for additional times!

EpicAges FAQ

Why is it called EpicAges?

We have always had EpicAges as a central part of our world. One of our goals is to avoid confusion between the download desktop version of VFK and the online browser version. So, it seemed a natural choice to use EpicAges for the download version.

Is EpicAges a different world?

No, it is still VFK, but as a download desktop version.

Are there differences between the EpicAges Desktop Version and the browser version?

The EpicAges Desktop Version is faster for loading items. This is because the items are cached, so once you have seen an item, it will load virtually instantly every time after that. So, the more you use the EpicAges Desktop Version, the faster everything loads. This means blue blobs can be essentially a thing of the past.

The EpicAges Desktop Version also has enhancements to IM and other features that are available because it is a desktop version. For instance you can take pictures of your rooms, save them, and manage the pictures.

What types of computers will the download EpicAges Desktop Version work on?

Because the EpicAges Desktop Version is created using Adobe Air, it will run on all of the platforms that are supported by Adobe Air. These include most Windows and Macintosh computers.

How do I get the EpicAges Desktop Version?

The EpicAges Desktop Version is only available to those with VFK accounts. If you would like to participate in the early Beta test of the EpicAges Desktop Version there is an EpicAges item on the Menu in VFK. This will display a form, and you can submit this form to be part of the the EpicAges Beta Program.

The EpicAges Beta Program is currently restricted and there will only be a limited number of participants randomly selected each day. If you are selected you will receive a popup from staff giving you information about participating in the EpicAges Beta Program.

Can I log more than one character in at a time using the EpicAges Desktop Version?

At this time you can only login one character at a time. However, it will be possible to login more than one at the same time after the early testing is completed.

Selene: May Heaven rain down her fury on thy soul!
May every fiber in that perjured heart
Quiver with love for one who loves thee not!
May thine untrammeled soul at last be caught,
And fixed and chained and riveted to one
Who, with the love of heaven upon her lips,
Carries hate within her heart!
Thou phantom of the truth - thou mimic god -
Thou traitor to thine own unhappy soul -
Thou base apostate to the lovely faith,
That thou hast preached with such false eloquence,
I am thine enemy ! (To her sisters.) Look on your work,
My gentle sisters. (They look in horror.) Are ye not content ?
Behold ! I am a devil, like yourselves!

Ethais: (following him angrily, is restrained by Selene). The fellow's crazed - heed not his rhapsodies, Thou dost not credit him ?

Selene: And if I do,
What matters it ? Be all he says thou art,
And I will worship thee for being so ;
Thou art my faith - whate'er my Ethais does
Is ever hallowed by his doing it;
Thy moral law is mine - for thou art mine:
Ay, be thou false to me, and I'll proclaim
That man forsworn who loves but one alone !
My soul is thine - whate'er my faith may be,
I'll be its herald ; if thou hast no faith,
I'll be the high priest of thine unbelief!
Thy wisdom's mine ; thy folly's thine -

Ethais: Hush! hush! Why this is madness !

Selene: Yes, for this is Love !

[Selene kneels at Ethais' feet.]

Introduction for the Fairy Dazzle Epic Quest, Day 3.

Selene: Yes - more might be done
Had each of us a pupil to herself.
Now then to summon them. But, sisters all,
Show no repugnance to these wretched men;
Remember that, all odious though they be,
They are our guests; in common courtesy
Subdue your natural antipathies ;
Be very gentle with them, bear with them,
Be kind, forbearing, tender, pitiful.
Receive them with that gentle sister love,
That forms the essence of our fairyhood ;
Let no side-thought of their unholy lives
Intrude itself upon your charity;
Treat them as though they were what they will be
When they have seen how we shall be to them.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Fairy Dazzle Pin - Mushroom Marsh!

Fairy Dazzle Quest Day 2!

3:30 PM Pacific Time (6:30 PM Eastern Time), April 10th, 2010.

Introduction for the Fairy Dazzle Epic Quest, Day 2.

Darine: How strangely inconsistent!

Selene: Not at all.
With all their misery, with all their sin,
With all the elements of wretchedness
That teem on that unholy world of theirs,
They have one great and ever glorious gift,
That compensates for all they have to bear -
The gift of Love ! Not as we use the word,
To signify mere tranquil brotherhood ;
But in some sense that is unknown to us.
Their love bears like relation to our own,
That the fierce beauty of the noonday sun
Bears to the calm of a soft summer's eve.
It nerves the wearied mortal with hot life,
And bathes his soul in hazy happiness.
The richest man is poor who hath it not,
And he who hath it laughs at poverty.
It hath no conqueror. When death himself
Has worked his very worst, this love of theirs
Lives still upon the loved one's memory.
It is a strange enchantment, which invests
The most unlovely things with loveliness.
The maiden, fascinated by this spell,
Sees every thing as she would have it be:
Her squalid cot becomes a princely home;
Its stunted shrubs are groves of stately elms ;
The weedy brook that trickles past her door
Is a broad river fringed with drooping trees ;
And of all marvels the most marvelous,
The coarse unholy man who rules her love
Is a bright being - pure as we are pure ;
Wise in his folly - blameless in his sin;
The incarnation of a perfect soul;
A great and ever glorious demi-god !

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Fairy Dazzle Pin - Fairy Gathering!

Fairy Dazzle Quest Day 1!

April 9th, 2010.

Introduction and setting for the Fairy Dazzle Epic Quest.

The Wicked World
By W.S. Gilbert

PROLOGUE.

The Author begs you'll kind attention pay
While I explain the object of his play.
You have been taught, no doubt, by those professing
To understand the thing, that Love's a blessing:
Well, he intends to teach you the reverse -
That Love is not a blessing, but a curse!
But pray do not suppose it's his intent
To do without this vital element -
His drama would be in a pretty mess!
With quite as fair a prospect of success,
Might a dispensing chemist in his den
Endeavor to dispense with oxygen.
Too powerful an agent to pooh-pooh,
There will be Love enough I warrant you:
But as the aim of every play's to show
That Love's essential to all men below,
He uses it to prove, to all who doubt it,
How well all men - but he - can do without it.
To prove his case (a poor one, I admit),
He begs that with him you will kindly flit
To a pure fairy-land that's all his own,
Where mortal love is utterly unknown.
Whose beings, spotless as new-fallen snow,
Know nothing of the Wicked World below.
These gentle sons and daughters of the air,
Safe, in their eyrie, from temptation's snare,
Have yet one little fault I must confess -
An overweening sense of righteousness.
As perfect silence, undisturbed for years,
Will breed at length a humming in the ears,
So from their very purity within
Arise the promptings of their only sin.
Forgive them! No? Perhaps you will relent
When you appreciate their punishment!
But prithee be not led too far away,
By the hack author of a mere stage-play:
It's easy to affect this cynic tone,
But, let me ask you, had the world ne'er known
Such Love as you, and I, and he, must mean -
Pray where would you, or I, or he, have been?

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Fairy Dazzle Pin - Forest Dwelling!

VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 8 - License Test!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Tuesday, November 17th, 2009.

The eighth and last day of our epic quest for Transportation is a Driving Test. Today's test will explore what you know about the rules of driving before you get behind the wheel. So on your mark, get set... GO!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Car Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 7 - Rules of the Road!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Monday, November 16th, 2009.

Rules of the road are comprised of the procedures and practices that road traffic must follow. The rules most often govern all users of the road, but are particularly important to cyclists and motorists. In addition, these rules outline the interactions of vehicles with pedestrians. As cars became more popular, the local cities and towns developed these rules to reduce accidents and increase safety for everyone. For the seventh day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will look at the history of the Rules of the Road!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Traffic Signal Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 6 - Gas & Service Stations!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Sunday, November 15th, 2009.

In 1900, there were only 4,000 cars in the US. In comparison, there were 20 million horses. The buildings and resources such as stables and blacksmith shops that supported horse drawn transportation have given way to gas stations and auto repair shops. In the meantime, the transition from the horse to the "horseless carriage" has been an amazing one. For the sixth day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will look at the colorful and exciting history of the gas station!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Service Station Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 5 - Roads and Highways!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Saturday, November 14th, 2009.

In early America, a well constructed road could heavily affect the towns it served. A good road provided essential access, especially for towns not located on a waterway. It connected people, goods and ideas. With the transportation revolution of the early 1800's, and as the US's boundaries grew, building roads became an increasingly important activity. For the fifth day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will look at the immeasurably important, but often overlooked, humble road!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Roads and Highways Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 4 - Automobiles!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Friday, November 13th, 2009.

The automobile is ranked as one of the most revolutionary inventions since the wheel in the history of transportation. The concept of the automobile is basic, you just need to take a wheeled vehicle such as those pulled by horses, and add a motor. The end result is self propelled personal transportation which in turn changed the world. For the fourth day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will look at the history of the automobile!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Automobile Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 3 - Airplanes!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Thursday, November 12th, 2009.

Since ancient times, people have dreamed of soaring into the sky and beyond like the birds. Many great minds have turned their imagination and knowledge toward devising various methods of accomplishing this goal of leaving the earth and flying. However, as late as the early 1900's, the idea of powered flight was still considered by many experts of the time, to be an impossible fantasy. For the third day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will explore the history of airplanes!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Airplanes Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 2 - Railroads!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Wednesday, November 11th, 2009.

With the development of America including the settlement of the frontier, ranching, farming and mining, railroads became important as one of the most efficient means of moving people and goods from one place to another. Railroads, together with the steam locomotive, rank among the most innovative and life changing developments in the history of mankind. For the second day of our epic quest for Transportation, we will explore the history of the railroads!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Railroads Pin!



VFK Transportation Epic Quest Day 1 - Ships!

5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Tuesday, November 10th, 2009.

Transportation, from the most primitive wheel to the most technologically sophisticated plane exemplifies world changing discoveries and innovations. Today we will embark on a 7 day epic quest for transportation. On today's quest, we will explore the history of boats and ships!

VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 7 - Don't fall Asleep!

May 30th, 2009.

Over the years, the discoveries and development of technology that would make going to space and ultimately surviving in space a reality, has been extensive. Each discovery has taken great minds, dedication, and hard work to take each crucial step in the advancement toward the stars. From developing nuclear energy to building rocket engines, however, each of these major discoveries has had an intriguing common element. For the seventh day of our epic quest for Space Enchantment, we will look at what went into our trek into space.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and ???!



VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 6!

May 29th, 2009.

One of the focuses of modern space research involves locating the basic supplies for sustaining human life on other planets and moons so the possibilities of colonization can be explored. Where ever humans go, they will need such necessities of life as a supply of water, oxygen and some way to produce food. Colonization also hinges on a location being suitable in terms of the environment of the planet or moon. For the sixth day of our epic quest for Space Enchantment, we will look at the possible locations for space colonies and why they have been considered.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 6 Pin!



VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 5!

May 28th, 2009.

Mars, the fourth planet from the sun, has long captured our imagination. The distinctive reddish color has been seen by observers since ancient times. In honor of their god of war, the Romans named the planet Mars. The ancient Egyptians called it "Her Descher" which means "the red one." It is also referred to by its similar nickname, "The Red Planet." Early astronomers saw what they believed to be canals crisscrossing the surface which gave rise to the belief that Mars was inhabited by intelligent beings. So why is Mars red, what are the canals, and are men really from Mars? For the fifth day of our epic quest for Space Enchantment, we will look at the beautiful and mysterious planet Mars.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 5 Pin!



VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 4!

May 27th, 2009.

Technology and science have advanced at such an amazing rate that people living only a few centuries ago would likely think that our everyday lives are comprised almost entirely of magic. We have built horseless chariots that go blazingly fast, we have metal birds that carry us in the air, we have invisible energy that runs along a wire, and information that appears on a screen out of the air. We even launch ourselves into space on a pillar of fire. We take these wonders for granted everyday, and the same will be true of the future. We may be in a space ship in space, but all the daily activities of living will be carried out on schedule. In all this dazzling technology, we are still human, we will still work, discover and love. For the fourth day of our epic quest for Space Enchantment, we will look at Romance in Space!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 4 Pin!



VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 3!

May 26th, 2009.

Life on Earth would not be possible without the Sun. It is the most brilliant object in the sky and an awesome power. At the center of the solar system, the sun is the cohesive force which holds nine planets, asteroids, meteoroids and other space matter in orbit around it. It's energy is essential for supporting and sustaining life. Humans rely on the sun for visual light, heat and even for powering solar devices. The Sun is responsible for regulating and determining climate and weather cycles on the Earth. For the third day of our epic quest for Space Enchantment, we will explore all about the Sun.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 3 Pin!



VFK Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 2!

May 25th, 2009.

How do we know what the future in space will be like? We know it from the minds and imaginations of great science fiction writers and movie makers. These talented artists have taken scientific discovery and known technology and have explored the possibilities of living among the stars. The books and movies they have created have become a part of our everyday world and culture. Fictional characters like Captain Kirk, Flash Gordon and Luke Skywalker are very real to us. On this special day on our journey to Space Age, we will explore Sci-Fi "visions of the future" especially of the imagined future of war in space.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and Space Enchantment Epic Quest Day 2 Pin!



VFK Roswell Incident Quest!

7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, May 17th, 2009 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, May 18th, 2009.

Almost sixty-two years ago, an "incident" took place in the desert on a remote ranch northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. A press release by the US military of Roswell Army Air Field was issued on the morning of July 8, 1947. It stated that "the wreckage of a crashed disk (UFO) had been recovered." The press release was sent over the wire services in time to make the afternoon edition of over thirty newspapers. After only hours, a second press release from the Fort Worth Army Air Field in Texas rescinded the first press release and claimed that the debris was from a weather balloon and its radar reflector. At the time, the public accepted the weather balloon story and the incident quietly disappeared. It has been cloaked in secrecy ever since. On today's quest, we will investigate the history of the Roswell "incident" and look into why the incident came back into the public eye, and what data is available surrounding the crashed UFO in Roswell, NM.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and Alien Oculars!



Chalk/Message Board!

March, 2009

The Message/Chalk Board is one of the great V.I.P. Membership gifts this month.

The Message Board is a fun way to play games, leave notes for your friends, let people know if you are AFK, tell people what you are trading for, and a million other creative uses!

You will need to go and pick out the Message Board that best matches your style in the Gift Shoppe on Main Street in Victorian Age.







Member's Gifts

Macaws are the members' gift for this month. These friendly birds, originally from Mexico and Central and South America are the largest members of the parrot family. They make fun, affectionate pets and love attention from their owners.

Macaws are highly intelligent and with a little patience, you can even teach your Macaw to talk. Your Macaw already knows how to say a few words. To teach it to say more things, simply say your Macaw's name, followed by a word or phrase you want it to learn. If you repeat it enough times, your bird will learn to say it. For instance if your parrot is named Polly, and you wanted to teach it to say that it wants a cracker, you would say "Polly, Polly wants a cracker."

You can also teach your parrot to respond to a phrase, for instance when someone says "Hi" and you want your parrot to respond, "Hello! How are you?" You would say, "Polly, Hi say Hello! How are you?" Or, if someone says "Who's a pretty birdy" and you want your parrot to respond "I am!! -hugs-" Just say "Polly, Who's a pretty birdy? say I am!! -hugs-" Remember you'll have to say what you want your parrot to learn a number of times before it will learn it. (Also, remember you are responsible for what your bird says, so be sure to follow the Constitution.)

To ask your parrot to unlearn a sentence he has been taught, say:

Polly you are getting sleepy forget

and then the sentence you want him to forget. You only need to ask your parrot once to forget something.

For example, let's say your parrot's name is Polly, and you have taught your parrot to say "I want a cracker". To ask your parrot to forget that sentence, you would say:

Polly you are getting sleepy forget I want a cracker

Remember you should type the sentence which your bird has learned exactly.

To ask your parrot to forget everything it has learned, say:

Polly you are getting sleepy forget forget forget

Be very careful when using "Polly you are getting sleepy forget forget forget", because your parrot will forget EVERYTHING it has learned. Remember, you only need to ask your parrot once to forget something.

You have four species of Macaws from which to choose: Military (green), Blue and Yellow (blue with yellow markings), Scarlet (red), and Hyacinth (blue). You will need to go and pick out your favorite Macaw in the Gift Shoppe on Main Street in Victorian Age. Macaws will be available starting Thursday, February 12th, 2009.



Wild Wild West Checkers

February 7th, 2009.

Object of the Game
Checkers is a two player board game where each player moves in turn. The object of the game is to capture your opponent�s pieces or move your pieces to block your opponent from making a legal move. You must move on your turn. The first player who can no longer move because their pieces are blocked or because all their pieces have been captured, loses the game.

Playing Board
The square checker board is divided into 64 squares. The squares are colored red and tan alternatively in the classic "checkerboard" pattern. Play is only on the green squares.

Moving
You start with twelve checkers colored either red or blue. Pieces are placed on the green squares on the board. The red player goes first and moves the red checkers. The blue player goes second and moves the blue checkers. A piece which is not a king can move diagonally forward one square. A king can move forward or backward. Pieces either regular or a king can only move to an unoccupied square. A move can also consist of jumps.

Jumping:
An opponent's piece or king can be captured by jumping,

If your opponent's checker or king blocks your movement and there is an open space beyond it on that diagonal line in the next row, you must jump that piece. You can not jump over your own pieces.

A regular piece can make a single jump only diagonally forward. A king can make a single jump diagonally forward or backward. For multiple jumps, a piece or king can change directions, first jumping diagonally one direction then another, jumping one piece at a time. You can not jump over a piece twice. You cannot stop part way through a multiple jump, but must jump all the options available. A regular piece or a king can jump a king.

If you have more than one option to jump, you can choose the one you want. There is no requirement that you must chose a particular path based on the number and kind of pieces which can be taken.

If you jump your opponent�s piece and the space you land on has the option of jumping an additional piece, you are required to jump and capture the additional piece.

Kings
Once a piece reaches the other side, (the crownhead) of the board, it becomes a king. A king is able to move forward or backward diagonally and can jump. When your piece reaches the crownhead, it becomes a king and your turn is over. Even if you could continue and make another jump, your turn ends.

Time Limit
The time limit for your move is one minute. If you do not move your piece within the one minute time limit, you forfeit the game.

Checker Rooms
Checker rooms are available upstairs in the Mercantile. If a game is in progress in a room, either the "way out" on the right side of the room or the left side of the room will take you to another checker room.

Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 7

Starts 7:00 AM, Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Our epic journey continues with our seventh quest! In this final day of your epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we will prowl around famous legends and stories behind shape-shifting!

The concept of "shape-shifting" is not a new concept, and also is not just confined to primitive peoples. It is found throughout history in popular childrens-stories, legends, myths and lore. In today's quest, you will receive the Twilight Enchantment Wolf pin, which allows you to assume the shape of a wolf! You will be able to acquire more Twilight Enchantments as they become available!

Your reward for completing this quest is 1,000 credits and the Twilight Wolf Enchantment!

For those who missed previous days in our epic journey, you can pick up where you left off anytime during the month of October.

Note: Additional wolf colors will be available later today for this exciting enchantment!



Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 6

Starts 7:00 AM, Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Our epic journey continues with our sixth quest! In this sixth day of your epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we will explore the creepy, crawly, insect sized world of spiders!

Halloween images almost always include spiders. They are one of the most "creepy" symbols of this holiday. For most people, a sudden encounter with a spider or its sticky web can cause a heart-stopping fearful reaction anywhere from raising mild goose-bumps to causing someone to run screaming from a room. These eight-legged critters, and their uncanny ability to make us shudder, are largely misunderstood, and despite the fact that spiders are the classic way to say "BOO," they are beneficial insects.

Your reward for completing this quest is 1,000 credits and the sixth pin in the Twilight Collection, the Spider Pin!

For those who missed previous days in our epic journey, you can pick up where you left off anytime during the month of October.

Perhaps most importantly, this is your sixth step toward achieving Twilight Enchantment!



Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 5

Starts 7:00 AM, Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Our epic journey continues with our fifth quest! In today's quest, we explore the world of a creature commonly associated with twilight, the Bat!

Bats, one of the most misunderstood and "villain-ized" members of the animal kingdom are fascinating creatures. First of all they are flying mammals, which sets them apart from the crowd. Secondly, they use echolocation to find their food, and thirdly, they are just plain spooky looking! This makes for an exciting fifth day of our epic quest for Twilight Enchantment where we will be exploring the interesting world of the membrane winged animals, BATS!

Your reward for completing this quest is 1,000 credits and the fifth pin in the Twilight Collection, the Flying Fox Pin!

For those who missed previous days in our epic journey, you can pick up where you left off anytime during the month of October.

Perhaps most importantly, this is your fifth step toward achieving Twilight Enchantment!



Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 4

Starts 7:00 AM, Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Our epic journey continues with our fourth quest! In today's quest we look into the facts and legends behind the Coyote!

Coyotes and their yipping calls are synonymous with the "Wild West". No Western movie is complete without their cries in the distance, and southwestern art is full of the iconic representation of the coyote. Despite being such an integral part of the image of the west, the coyotes' range is not limited to the desert and mountains of the southwestern US. They inhabit a wide spectrum of habitats, and can be found as far north as Alaska and all the way down into Central America. For the fourth day of your epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we will explore the interesting world of the coyote!

Your reward for completing this quest is 1,000 credits and the fourth pin in the Twilight Collection, the Coyote Pin!

For those who missed previous days in our epic journey, you can pick up where you left off anytime during the month of October.

Perhaps most importantly, this is your fourth step toward achieving Twilight Enchantment!



Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 3

Starts 7:00 AM, Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Our epic journey continues today with our third quest! In today's quest, we look into facts and legends surrounding birds of prey!

The immense size of many of the Eagle species, the speed and precision of the hawks and the mischievous boldness of the ravens have captured the imagination and have inspired awe in people since before recorded history. These birds occur in myths, legends and stories and are revered in many cultures. If mythological gods turn themselves into birds, they often select one of these raptors, or the raven as their chosen form. For the third day of our epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we will explore the amazing world of the eagles, hawks and ravens.

Your reward for completing this quest is 1,000 credits and the third pin in the Twilight Collection, the Eagle Pin!

For those who missed Day 1 or Day 2 in our epic journey, you can pick up where you left off anytime during the month of October.

Perhaps most importantly, this is your third step toward achieving Twilight Enchantment!

Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 1

Starts 7:00 AM, Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Twilight, or the period just after sunset when the soft light is fading away to darkness has long been considered a magical time. It marks the time when the world "transforms" from day to night, and is symbolic in oral traditions of any kind of complete change.

Today we will embark on a 7 day epic quest to be able to assume the form of an animal shape. Ancient and indigenous cultures believe in "shape-shifting." Australian aboriginal elders are said to have the ability to shape-shift, and it is fundamental to the dreamtime foundations of their beliefs.

With Twilight enchantment, we will be able to "magically" assume the form of animals from birds in the air to creatures below the sea and a wide range of animals in-between.

The first animal that comes with your Twilight Enchantment will be the Wolf. With your Twilight Enchantment, you will be able to aquire additional wildlife shapes, as they become available.

Since October is also Halloween month, we will be finding out about the animals that are most closely associated with Halloween.

The Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest will be available throughout October. You can begin the quest anytime you wish during the end of this month and at anytime during October, and upon completion you will receive your Twilight Enchantment.

This first quest includes a reward of 1,000 credits and the first Twilight Enchantment pin, the Wolf Pin! As you complete each stage of this Epic Quest, you will receive a unique reward and the next Twilight Pin.

Each day you can complete the next step in the Epic Quest, receiving your new rewards and progressing towards enchantment.

The Twilight Enchantment lasts as long as you wish and you can start and end it at any time.

We hope you enjoy our new Epic Quest and the Twilight Enchantment!
