VMK Myths and Rumors
Here you will read stories that have been going around in rooms since beta, to ones that started last monday. We hope that this page will help clear things up.
CL Stories
Do you think you know what's true and what's not about Comunity Leaders? We'll see...
- Claim: CLs don't have to play games to get credits.
- Status: False.
- Sometimes we think CLs have it better than normal players in every possible way. From that, stories have been started about CLs getting free stuff, free credits, etc. None of this is true. But it IS partially true that they don't have to play games to get credits. They can also visit NPCs and sell furniture, just like everyone else.
- Claim: CLs have booting powers in all rooms.
- Status: False.
- Many believe this is true, even though it isn't talked about much. That's because most people think that since CLs are leaders in the game and keep the peace, they can boot players out of a room if they're bad. This is not true. They can only boot players out of their own room, like normal players.
- Claim: CLs are staff members.
- Status: False.
- CLs are just normal people at home/parks that love VMK and are on alot. They do not work for Disney in real life, even though they have something in the front of their name. Though this is very common belief, it is not true.
- Claim: CLs give out free stuff.
- Status: Sometimes.
- CLs are not required to give anything to anybody, but every now and then a CL or a normal player will give a new player or friend something free to welcome them to VMK. But, you should NOT ask for free stuff from anyone. It is annoying, and people don't like to be nagged for their stuff, especially rare and quest items.
- Claim: CLs have supernatural powers.
- Status: There's no way to know.
- While most don't, no one has never proven stuff like ESP, ghosts, ancient slime creatures from outer space, etc. to be false (Or true for that matter), we'll probably never know.
- Claim: CLs will make you popular.
- Status: False.
- There are a lot of comunity leaders out there, around a hundred, so if you know one, it's not like you're going to be famous just for knowing them. Just like if you were friends with a cast member, it's not like you're going to be the most famous CL ever. I mean, do you know the names of even half the people on a staff member's list? Didn't think so.
Item Tales
- Claim: Green beta items will be out St. Patrick's day 2006.
- Status: True.
- Before St. Patty's day, many people believe that, since the holiday is famous for the tradition of everyone wearing green, vmk would re-release green beta items for a limited time around the day.

Push
Looks like there has been some back and forth questions about the NPC status about Push. I quote from the April 2006 newsletter:Who (or what) is Push the Trashcan?
Push doesn't have a Profile and since he's not an NPC he doesn't give credits. He can't accept Friend requests or Trade, so please don't ask. But do ask him to dance!
and the April 2006 newsleter:
Who (or what) is Push the Trashcan?
Push is a Character who will pop into VMK from time to time. He can visit any room; he can talk, walk, sit and dance. Unlike NPCs he doesn't give credits. He can't accept Friend requests or Trade, so please don't ask. But do ask him to dance!
So from this, it sounds like he's not an NPC. {:

Maybe we should add another category of "Other Characters"? --SpinMarty 04:45, 25 August 2006 (CDT)
Layout
Garfieldo - I'm not sure what you were trying to acomplish with the formatting change, but I don't think it worked. What I currently see looks like
* Question * Status * Commentary
With no blank line like I think you meant. I'd like to change it back the way we had it
* question * status * commentary
which highlights the questions and still makes the status and commentary clearly belonging to the question. Any other thoughts? (Unless I hear compelling thoughts otherwise, I'll likely make this this weekend.)

Pictures
I added some pictures. What do you think?
If I made - another - mistake with the image positions, I apologize. It was 1 AM when I did most of these. :)

CL Stories
According to Yavn, all CLs will lose their titles on October 24th. What are we going to do to CL Stories? Merge it with Ye Olde Yarns? --~~Garffy 21:49, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
let's see what actually happens, first. --Prisoner 05:42, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
CL Stories removed
Until the Community Leader program is restored, I'll be removing the CL Stories category from this page. Should the program ever come back, we can retrieve it by looking in the article's history. ~~Garffy 10:14, 7 December 2007 (CST)~
Walk on Water
If someone can find in the forums (or you know how to do it) we should post how to "walk" on water in the Shark Reef. I know it is there with several photos as well. --SpinMarty 14:11, 6 January 2008 (CST)
