Two Hours Left

Only two hours left! Hurry!

Some will be removing right at midnight as they are in the SL Discovery hunt, but me and a few others will be keeping the eggs out a few more days. But don't count on it!

36 is fixed

Sorry sorry, 36 IS fixed. It's HUGE and in the middle of the shop and I'm told you can get a copy.

Two eggs found!

#40 and #50 have been found! They are out. #40 is just upstairs, TINY sign but upstairs, not near the landing point and #50 is by the sign. The person who reported to me that #50 was missing, said the sign was missing, so obviously they had an issue with things rezzing. ;)

Another missing egg

102 is also missing early. Sorry.

OH NO! MISSING EGGS!

Well, it would seem that some of the vendors got ahead of themselves. Instead of going by Second Life time (like they were told) they went by THEIR time... or who knows, all I know is that 3 eggs have been picked up. #40, #49 & #50 that I know of so far. A friend has been trying to go around and get them all, and she noticed these missing.

I am sorry. I don't know why they did it or if there are more. I know I got a message from one person just a few minutes ago asking if it was okay to pick up the egg, so I'm guessing that since another asked, some just assumed it was over. It's not officially over till after midnight tonight.

Sorry for any missed eggs. But other then that, HAPPY HUNTING!

#36 is broken!

There has been an issue lately with some of the hunters buying over 70 eggs. I had someone get that many just the other day. I don't know why, it is a non trans item, and it is a copiable item. But regardless as to why they are doing it, some of the vendors went out and bought a GIVE ONE COPY ONLY script. #36 NDC is such a shop.

And it would seem that now their egg is not working. Which is sad, because it's a great gift. However, I've notified the shop owner and hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow. In the mean time, here is #37's location.

OOPS! 21 not 22

I corrected the post before, it had said 22 not 21. So got it fixed. But here is the run down.

Dirty Dollies left for petty reasons. They didn't like that they didn't get enough traffic, for one reason. So they just left.

They were #21.

The LM in egg #20 is wrong. You need to go to the NEW location: Market Town

Market Town will take you to the newly added #22: -30 Posters

From there... you know how to get around. :)

#21 is GONE DO NOT GO TO DIRTY DOLLIES

It would seem that #21 has issues with the hunters and traffic. So they have pulled out at the last possible minute. Anyone who gets to #20, the egg is right there in front as you land, but the LM won't do you any good as Dirty Dollies has taken their egg down.

BUT we have something even better then that! Market Town is putting up a very nice egg for anyone who'd like to get a #21 egg. They've put together the cutest thing! So come and get this new one! Don't miss out!

Starting Weds, EGGS LARGE!

Have you missed an egg cause it was too hard? Starting Weds, I've asked all owners to please put the eggs LARGE and in front of the sign so that everyone can go back and get what they missed.

The last two days should be easy for those that missed getting some or getting to the hunt at all.

Now there are some owners that aren't on till the weekends, and I'm sorry, I didn't think to send the note out till today, so there still may be a few that don't even get the message. However, this should make it easier for those that do move them.

Thanks to all the great businesses! This has been a great hunt!

#37 Kisses Boutique is FOUND!

Well, seems there was a misunderstanding. Kisses has MOVED, not dropped out. Because they didn't have a LM giver at the old location and I didn't get the new LM, it appeared they dropped out.

They have been found! Their new location is HERE. If you'd like to pick up your egg, stop on by!

*~Kisses Boutique~* IS GONE!

Well, seems that Kisses is GONE. Had someone jump to #37 just now and it's GONE. So, till I can get another shop in there, if anyone wants in for the last week, just use this SLURL to jump to the next shop!

25 New Shop Bios

Well not NEW. But I hadn't gotten the links on the side panel done up. Tracy kindly added the shops bios to the blog, but as busy (and sick on some days) as I've been I haven't had a chance to add the links to the side panel or the photos. But I'll be adding photos here shortly, sometime today or tomorrow.

In the mean time, you can always check the side panel for the shop listings. There are 25 new ones, and even though they were in the blog, having them added all at once you may have missed your favorite shop!

OOPS! Seems a shop is GONE!

*POOF* The Wasp Nest is GONE! No word, nothing! Just GONE! I know that one of the shops is gone because they closed up, but this is just GONE. No message to me (at least not that I got) nothing to say why they are gone at the site. So... that being the case, there are now only 107 locations since they were 108!

If starting the hunt half way through, and you get to 107 and get the LM to 108, I've tried to contact 107 to put in a new LM. Just come here and use the SLURL for #1. ;)

And HAPPY HUNTING! It's not over yet!

MOVING?!

Several shops have moved while on this hunt. I have tried to keep up with them here, making sure that the LMs are changed and the SLURLs are changed. But sometimes they aren't told to me and I'm not always running around looking. So, if you get lost, there should be a LM giver somewhere at the old location.

Also, AmberMyst is moving! Yep! At the end of the hunt, we will be moving from the location we are at now to a new sim! Look for us in the next few hunts.

What does this mean? It means I won't have the time to do a Summer Hunt. It took a LOT out of me to run this hunt, and with just a little help, there is just NO WAY I can organize another one for a few months. And I know the Summer one would be in 2 months, but things just aren't going to work out that way. As much as I've gotten slaps on the back for a good job, I've gotten slaps in the face for failing in some way in someone's eyes. And moving my whole shop, re-crating everything with new landmarks in them, and all the work that goes into a move of this size, there is no way that I can do it.

Unless something happens where I get more help, the next hunt I organize won't be till Fall.

See you in the hunt!

Tether's End Designs has MOVED TOO!

Hey there! Tether's End Designs has moved to a new sim! They've gotten a new place to house their great items and would like you to check out the new digs!

Yesterday's Closet has moved - Use this SLURL

Well it would seem I spoke before I heard the latest news from a hunter. Seems that 106 has moved. They have a new shop. The problem is, their egg is the OLD egg for 107, not the NEW location. So you must use THIS slurl until I can get them to change it. If it's working, it will have "new location" on the 107 LM. Thanks!

Still Going Strong

Well the numbers may have dwindled, but they always do with hunts as they get on. But you can still find plenty of people doing this hunt. And enjoying it. April Jodra is going to report on her hunt experience, as soon as she can get back online to do it. So watch here for more on that.

Got a fun hunt experience you'd like to have included here? Send it to me along with any photos you'd like included and I'd be happy to post it for you.

Lost?

Now if you are lost, check the side panel for the number of the shop you are on, the next one and it's SLURL. This will help those out that might otherwise have quit. :)

DO NOT BUY FAKE EGGS!

I just got word someone is going around placing fake eggs in the shops and setting them to sell for $10L. At no time would ANY egg in this hunt be set for $10L. All are FREE.

If you run into such an egg, make a comment to this post with the shop name and when you found and any other important information as well as leaving a note card in my inventory (Tiea Aeon) so that I can take care of it.

Thank you and happy FREE hunting!

#88 is fixed! or ALL EGGS NOW WORKING AGAIN

Okay, looks like ALL the eggs are now working. Yeah! Seems that #88 was never really broken, but that there was a "fake" egg sticking out of the barrel. If you go there, and see that, ignore it. The real egg is around. I'm trying to reach the shop owner to remove the egg. As the rules state, NO FAKE EGGS. So let's hope this one disappears soon.

In the mean time, know that there is a working egg. So you can come back and pick up your gift.

New Element Added & News

I've added a "Blogs" link area on the side. It has different freebie blogs as well as some blogs that current store owners in the hunt have. There are a few more that I need to add, but the blogs URLs are in-world and I'm not able to get there just yet. But when I do, I'll update it and add them.

Also, April Jodra has been away for a few weeks, but will be back later today. When she is, she's going to go around and do the hunt and take photos along the way. Which she's going to post for us here. Should be interesting.

Hope all are enjoying the hunt this weekend and I hope things are working out good. I'll be on later as well to make sure things are working smoothly.

One last thing before I go... I went ahead and started a blog for the next hunt, Summer Fun. So keep track of that if you are interested in the next one. Since I don't really have a lot of time right now, it's just a totally basic layout. But will get all that fixed up later. :)

Till later... TTFN!

The Weekend Has Arrived!

The one thing that I liked about starting this hunt mid-week is that the rush to get through it first was a small one. We didn't have to worry about 200 people in one spot having a problem with a single egg. Now that MOST the eggs are fixed, and everything is MOSTLY working, I feel confident that the weekend will be a fun one. Not only for the designers but for the hunters.

Seeing as I haven't had the time yet to go through the hunt, but have had the opportunity to see a lot of the gifts listed on the Flickr page, and those given to me before hand, I know that there will be something for everyone on this hunt.

The gifts vary in style and kind and most have put their best effort into getting you a gift that says "This is who I am, and what I can do for you." I know that with every hunt there are some that don't like a gift they got. I have heard complaints and it saddens me. Not because I think that the designer didn't do good, but because I know they did and that that person just doesn't like that kind of thing but is giving negative feedback to people who might normally like it when that person didn't because tastes all vary.

So don't take someone else's word if you'd like a certain gift. Go on the hunt. Have fun. See for yourself what you like and don't like. And check out all these neat new designers!

OH NO! One last broken egg!

Here I thought that I was going to be able to post that everything was fixed. But it seems when someone moved their egg, they didn't set it back to sale.

#89 "nuvolino" IS BROKEN.. :( Use this LM to get to the next spot. A-Bomb

Neweset Corrections

Okay, I'm back, and checking for those corrections.... Here we go!

#3: Cammi's Creations - People have had a hard time with this one and we do apologize. You are looking for a LM in the box and it's a note card. You need to open the note card to find the shop. When you TP in, turn to your left about half a turn, you will see a shop with surf boards. You want to head towards it and at the end of the pier there is a shop with the Spring Hunt's sign over it. That is what you need.

#8: Yellow Jester - Another one that isn't easy to find. Read his hint. Yes, the egg is REALLY in the house. Promise.

#16: KatKreation - COPY given by accident, not CONTENTS. You need to WEAR it on your hand to pull out LM. Or find a sandbox to unpack. However, to get to #17, just look to the next one to the right LM. ;)

#21: Dirty Dolls - I've gotten complaints that the store is hard to find. Try this: First, when you TP in, you will be facing the wrong way. Turn around and look behind you. Walk forward, following arrows outside. You will come to a wall. Go AROUND the wall. On the opposite side, on the opposite side of the wall, is a PINK area. That is Dirty Dollies. HERE

#49: Sugar Holic: FIXED - Come back and get your gift!

#60: Hectic Moon - FIXED!

#83: Gemmini Genesis: IS FIXED!! Come back and get your gift!

#99: Kyoshiro's Corner : FIXED (hint board removed that had the bad hints)

#107: Yesterday's Closet: FIXED correct LM now to next store.

There are 108 eggs total. Have fun! And if you have a problem with an egg, try the Hunters' hint group. Always check here for updates.

Are You Going To Do Another One?

I keep getting asked this. Or told "If you do another one, I'll be a part of it again."

With everything that has gone wrong, and everything that has gone right, I've had to think seriously about it. In the end, I decided that yes. With health and everything permitting, I will do more.

In fact, I'm going to keep doing them like I have. With a seasonal theme. The next one will be SUMMER. And will be titled: "Summer Fun - A Day At The Beach". To keep them within the seasons, at least the USA seasons, and keep them spread apart in the right order, they will be for a full month, every 3 months. The next one will be in the month of July.

Will there be a limit? I don't know yet. I'm still working the kinks out. But I will take offers to help, as I now know that you can't do something, even this small, by yourself. ;) So help can always be offered before hand.

Am I taking applications? Not at this time. Not till this hunt is over and I'm sure I'll do the summer one. But you can always make them and keep them handy, same info as last time.

Will I let bigger named stores in? I don't know yet. I kinda like having the smaller stores. To show off the talent of some of the lesser known shops. So we will see. Maybe a couple that will help bring in more hunters, but don't know, we will see.

So, if I'm not sure, why am I telling you this now? Because I know how it can be. I want to make sure that people know I plan one, and will know more by the end of April, then have it down the line and find out that since I hadn't said anything, someone else decided to do the same thing. I don't want the same problem I had with this hunt and the Bunny Hop and the issue of eggs happening again. So best to make intentions known now, the type, and that if done, we will use beach balls as the gift boxes, then to have another issue where hunters don't know which egg they are looking for.

And now... on to the corrections in the shops. I've been to some and will now post about them.

Some Fixes and Changes

We have some links that were broken when I went to bed, but this morning they are working!

I didn't have a chance to check all the broken eggs in the last post, but will tell you the ones I know are working that were broken then.

Missing Links & Problems

Oh boy! Seems that no matter what you do, something will break.

I had several people trying to help me make sure that all the links worked. That nothing would be broken or missing. But we couldn't get ahold of everyone in time. So, things aren't completely there.
