| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Due to all the excitement surrounding the Heart of the Tiger party, a few details have slipped through the cracks, leaving some hunters confused. This week during Feedback Friday, we asked hunters if they would like some clarification about the Heart of the Tiger and the response was an overwhelming yes.</p>
| + | ==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ==== |
| | + | A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>----------</p>
| + | For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Here's a quick run-down of who's at the party (including one new mouse) and what goodies they've brought with them.</p>
| + | This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Romeo Mouse]]:<br />
| + | So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started! |
| − | Always the life of the party, this mouse brought DLU+ heart shaped candies to charm the lady mice with.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Romeno Mouse]]:<br /> | + | <div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| − | The other mice seem to keep their distance from the Romeno mouse. Between strike-outs with the ladies, he is also snacking on DHU- heart shaped candies.</p>
| + | <span style="font-size: 150%>'''Treasure Map Mega Party'''</span> |
| | + | <div style="font-size: 125%"> |
| | + | '''TWICE''' as many hunters per map, up to a maximum of '''10'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Cupid Mouse]]:<br />
| + | Ends on '''Wednesday, November 27''' at 4:00PM ETC |
| − | Cupid mice have made a return and are randomly firing their arrows at partygoers. They leave behind a trail of heart shaped candy with the words "Attraction Bonus" written on them.</p>
| + | </div></div> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Costumed Tiger Mouse]]:<br />
| + | If you're still on a map when the event ends, everyone currently on the map remains on it and can finish it! However, new hunters cannot be invited beyond the map's regular size. |
| − | This costumed mouse is dancing wildly at the party, celebrating the Lunar New Year. The Costumed Tigers have brought plenty of spare Tiger Masks to help get everyone in a celebratory mood!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Dumpling Chef Mouse]]:<br /> | + | ==== The Final Relic Hunter Season has Ended ==== |
| − | What's a party without good food? In addition to catering the party, these mice have brought fun Ox Masks to celebrate with.</p>
| + | <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| | + | '''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | + | After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Dressed Up Mice:<br />
| + | She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years. |
| − | Many mice from other regions have traveled to the Heart of the Tiger Party to celebrate! The White Mouse, Dwarf Mouse, Archer Mouse, Student of the Cheese Belt and Master of the Cheese Claw have arrived and are dressed up, ready to celebrate! The Master of the Cheese Claw has brought a third mask to complete the set -- The Rabbit Mask.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[[Red Envelope Mouse]]:<br /> | + | <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| − | This swift little mouse has been pillaging the pockets of MouseHunters to stuff red envelopes full of gold! If you're lucky enough to catch one, they may just drop one of their envelopes. The Red Envelope mice have also managed to get their hands on some special Tiger Heart Chests containing SUPER|brie+. The chests are locked tight, so if you recover one you'll need to find the right set of keys to open them up. Hopefully the keys will turn up sometime before the end of the party.</p>
| + | '''Relic Hunter Treasure Maps''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>All of the candies, gifts and masks are fun collectibles to help everyone celebrate, and make hunting more fun!</p>
| + | The Cartographer at the King's Arms has discovered a stash of Relic Hunter Scroll Cases and is now selling them to adventurous hunters for 10 Ancient Relics each. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Happy Heart of the Tiger everyone, and we’ll see you on the dance floor!</p> | + | <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| | + | '''New Relic Hunter Treasure Chest Rewards''' |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | -- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
| + | The Limited Edition rewards of the final Relic Hunter season are gone but a new reward can now be found inside Relic Hunter Treasure Chests: '''Gilded Coins'''! |

| − | <blockquote>
| + | </div> |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The mighty pool of water that was once the Festive Comet has recently been acquired by the King and turned into a party venue! If you're the type who can't get enough of a good party then you're in luck. The King (who seems to be blaming Larry) has accidentally double-booked the party venue for both a Valentine's Day party and Lunar New Year party! Twice the party, twice the fun! Party!</p>
| + | Take these Gilded Coins to the King's Arms where you can use them to purchase '''Gilded Trap Skins''', '''Gilded Charms''', or even '''Slayer Scroll Cases'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>So slap on your party hats and head over to the Heart of the Tiger Party where there are a few party mice who are ready to party. The mice at the party have also showed up with a few party favours so keep your party eyes open for some party collectible loot drops. Party!</p>
| + | ==== Reap the Rewards ==== |
| | + | The King's own artisans have released a new assortment of Gilded Trap Skins! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The Gift Shoppe has reopened with a few fun party collectible items that are sure to spice up the Heart of the Tiger Party. The Gift Shoppe is expecting to keep the party going with a few more items that shall arrive in a few days for the party. Check back from time to time during the party to spot when the new party items are available.</p>
| + | These breathtakingly beautiful new trap skins can be purchased from the King's Arms using Gilded Coins or from the Premium Shop. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Although the addition of collectible items has been welcomed by most everyone, it has led to a little disorganization within the inventory. With the launch of Longtail we are planning to organize these collectible items better within the inventory as well as give players the ability to showcase their collectibles on their hunter profile. Party!</p>

| − | === Sneak Peek at MH Longtail ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|6|February|2010}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote> | |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters!</p> | |
| − | | |
| − | <p>For the past couple of weeks we have been making mention of an update we're working on that we have code-named "Longtail". Longtail will update many of the interfaces within the game, as well as make MouseHunt faster and more robust, allowing us to develop content (mice, areas, traps, etc) quicker and easier. | |
| − | </p> | |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Enthusiasm seems to be high within the community and so we thought we would share a couple of screenshots of the progress being made on this update to give everyone an idea about what's going on behind the scenes.</p>
| + | ==== Stock up on Party Supplies! ==== |
| | + | The King is offering some limited time deals on a variety of mega mapping party supplies! |

| |
| − | <p>Hi MouseHunters,</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We've just received some news from the van der Marks in Haiti (the family we support there). We felt since the outpouring of support from MHers has been so great, that it was our responsibility to share some of that message with you. We won't place the whole email here... but here's an excerpt.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>'''***Some of this post is graphic and may not be suitable for young ones.'''</p>
| |

| − | ----
| |
| − | <p>"My mind thought, "that is strange", then my mind thought, "what is that?". In a matter of seconds the house came alive and I was at the end of my kitchen table. The shaking was incredible. I remember seeing the concrete walls moving violently in a wave like at a wave pool. One to my right, one to my left and then one in front of me moving in a different direction. I also remember the ceiling was moving in a wave above me. The floor beneath my feet did not feel attached to me.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Grayden ran to me screaming. Hysterical screams and I clung him tight to me and instinctively semi crouched. All of this may have only taken a few seconds..i don't know. The next thing I remember was Laurens running in the house yelling "get out, get out, get out...RUN" As he grabbed my arm, I went into full action. Still clinging to Grayden, I ran to the door grabbing as many of my children as I could. Yelling myself, "RUN, RUN, RUN, GO, GO". We reached the steps to the garden and I remember how difficult it was to run down them as the concrete steps were moving. I remember running through the front drive with the land still moving. Laurens was still yelling to run further to get away from the building. The dog followed us all. When I got to the end of the driveway, I looked around and counted kids, I could not see Bridgely. I turned back to the building and screamed "BRIDGELY, BRIDGELY, BRIDGELY" as I thought he was still on the upper level at our neighbours. Then there he was in front of me. He had been holding my hand the whole time.</p>
| |

| − | <p>Somewhere between the driveway and the road, the movement stopped. For a moment..... then it started again, smaller but almost as big as the first and long as well. I gathered the kids and instructed them to sit and we huddled until it stopped. Then it started again.......Finally the earth rested for a while.</p>

| | | | |
| − | <p>Then I stood up and turned around......From our rural hill not far from Port au Prince, we have a few of the whole city. As I looked out towards the city and the ocean, that is when I realized what had just happened. The entire city went up in dust. One huge even dust cloud arose from the entire massive city. It was like a bomb had gone off and it was the smoke rising. I looked to the right and saw a similar smaller cloud over our local village Source Matlas. I looked to the left and saw a large cloud of dust and smoke from the flour factory. I was speechless regarding what all this may have meant.</p>

| − | <p>That may have been enough to deal with except that we realized that we had a team of 53 Canadian's visiting on a short term mission trip. We went into leader mode. Laurens went to check on a few things and I gathered the team. Grant went to get the ambulance and I gathered the visiting nurses and doc. We jumped into the ambulance and headed down to the clinic. Grant took the team in and I rushed to the front gate of our mission. By the time I got there, the injured started arriving. They came in tap tap (pick up truck taxi) after tap tap. Children, woman and men.</p>

| − | <p>Their arms and legs were crushed, their bones sticking out of their bodies, their heads gashed open. Some crying in pain, some barely alive. 5, 6, 7, people per truck.</p>
| |

| − | <p>After a few minutes I left the gate and security took over letting them all in and I rushed back to the hospital. For the next 33 hours straight we worked on the traumatic cases that lie before us. It looked like war. We did not know the integrity of the clinic yet so we could not go inside. The aftershocks started to come and were frequent but less in intensity. We had to get supplies in side but ran back out every aftershock we got. The injured were lying all over our outside walk way. Grant, our visiting nurses and myself worked on triaging the worst patients. We are not a full service hospital, we are just a clinic.....we started to get reports that the biggest hospital in PAP, General hospital had crashed down, Doctors without Borders had crashed (the only 2 main ER's in the entire city!). We got further reports that other hospitals were down. We started to realize, that we were all there was for miles and miles and miles... "</p>

| |
| − | <p>The recent earth quake in Haiti has resulted in a massive human tragedy. With this in mind we here at HitGrab have decided to try make a little difference in our own way. We will be releasing a Hope Mouse to bring awareness to the catastrophic events unfolding in Haiti. For the first 200,000 of these mice caught we will donate five cents to the Mission of Hope in Haiti. We strongly encourage our players to get involved and consider giving to the Mission of Hope or one of the countless charities operating in Haiti.</p>
