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.

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!

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.

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: 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.

Twilight Enchantment Epic Quest Day 1Starts 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!

So many creatures dwell under the ocean's surface that we are still discovering mysteries that the watery depths conceal.

Merfolk have now come to our world and each of us will have the opportunity to experience the wonders of the depths of the ocean that defines the legends surrounding merfolk lore. However, some things in life can not be bought with gold or silver, but must instead be earned. This is true for the enchantment which makes experiencing the awe and mystery of merfolk possible.
