| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | As many hunters know, the construction yard where the [[Snow Fortress]] now stands was the site where the King's [[Tournament Hall]] was being constructed. With the plans of the [[Mad Elf Mouse]] now foiled by hunters, one last objective remains -- Drive the Mad Elf Mouse and his troublesome Festive Mice out of the Kingdom and finish the construction of the Tournament Hall!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What better way to drive out the Festive Mice than with some hunting competition! In anticipation of the Tournament Hall's completion, the King has commissioned the return of hunting [[tournaments]] with some festive-themed competitions!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Working in teams to hunt the Festive Mice is sure to drive them out of the Kingdom quicker! Will your team prove itself as the best festive hunters in the Kingdom?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Joining or Creating a Team====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Before you can join a festive tournament, you'll first need a [[Hunting Team]]! You can create your own and invite friends, or look around for a friend on a team with an open position.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To create you own team, click the teams link on the main navigation where you can then pick a name, motto and description for your team. Once your team has been created, you can then invite friends to join your team and hunt alongside you!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If a friend has an open position on their team, the captain of that team can send you an invitation to join. You'll then receive a notification from which you can accept or decline the team invitation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Joining a Tournament====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once you're part of a team, you can join tournaments! To join a tournament, click the tournaments option from the teams drop-down menu on the game navigation. You'll be taken to a listing of all upcoming tournaments.

| − |
| |
| − | If you want to see more information about the tournament, including the number of teams involved, how the scoring works, and within which locations the tournament takes place, click the details button. To immediately join the tournament, click the join button.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Please note the captain joining a tournament <U>does not</U> enter the entire team. Each individual team member must join the tournament before it starts.''' This is in preparation of future updates that will expand the allowed number of team members and also allow different members of your team to compete in different tournaments at the same time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Competing in a Tournament====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Upon joining a tournament, a new heads-up display will appear near the top of the game informing you how long until the tournament starts, how many fellow team members have joined the same tournament, how many active team members are in the same tournament, and some new controls to invite your teammates and friends to compete with you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Upon the tournament starting, the [[HUD]] will change to indicate the amount of time remaining along with your team's current points and rank. You can click the name of the tournament on the HUD to view the tournament details should you need a reminder of the scoring rules.

| |
| − | By competing in tournaments, you can earn collectible trophies and badges, as well as [[Tournament Tokens]], that you'll be able to spend at the Tournament Hall upon its completion. The number of teams that entered the tournament, the length of the tournament, and your team's rank upon the tournament's completion determine what reward you receive.

| |
| − | ====Tournament Hall====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With the Snow Fortress beginning to melt and the Festive Mice that protect it being chased away by the diligent effort of hunters, construction of the King's Tournament Hall will be finished shortly after the end of the Great Winter Hunt!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Tournament Hall will serve as a place to celebrate your victories and redeem Tournament Tokens for new charms, hunting loot, and other resources useful to hunters across the Kingdom!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The King has even placed an order for a set of opulent metallic bases made of bronze, silver and gold that should arrive shortly after the end of the Great Winter Hunt.

| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | During our MouseHunt retreat last week we discussed what we should focus on for 2012. The whole team decided we should focus our efforts on building tools and features which help people participate more deeply in our amazing communi-TAY. Our top players treat new players better than in any other game. They also work more closely and make better, long-lasting relationships than in any other game on facebook! I guess that's what happens when you put all the players on one team against a common foe :)

| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Mad Elf Mouse's Sinister Plan====
| + | '''Start sending golems to collect loot''' |
| | | | |
| − | At last, the plot of the Festive Mice has been revealed! Their toy collecting across the Kingdom has been orchestrated by a sinister [[Mad Elf Mouse]] who plans to create an army of [[Destructoy]] Mice! With the quantity of toy parts collected, the Mad Elf could no doubt assemble an army massive enough to overwhelm hunters and reduce the [[Town of Gnawnia]] to ruins!
| + | Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again |
| | | | |
| − | There is no time to waste, hunters! The Mad Elf Mouse must be found and captured to save not only the Great Winter Hunt but the Kingdom of Gnawnia itself!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Location of the Mad Elf Mouse====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It has become clear that the Mad Elf Mouse has been using the construction yard south of the castle as a hiding spot for his stockpile of toy parts. With enough toy parts to start building his army, the Mad Elf Mouse has constructed a massive [[Snow Fortress]] to protect his plan from meddling MouseHunters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Snow Fortress is full of elaborate booby traps made from toy parts. To possess the knowledge to avoid the traps, you must first become a Master Toy Maker by building enough toys to earn 500 Toy Receipts. Only hunters who have achieved the title of Master Toy Maker will be permitted to enter the Snow Fortress.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Infiltrating the Snow Fortress will not be an easy task! The Mad Elf Mouse is hiding in the Throne Room located at the centre of the fortress which is behind three heavily guarded areas. You'll need to have Festive Feta armed and hunt your way through all three guarded sections in order to reach the Mad Elf Mouse!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To make matters worse, the Mad Elf Mouse has invented a pulse device to disable standard hunting equipment when used within the Throne Room. Once you hunt your way through the three guarded sections and find yourself in the presence of the Mad Elf Mouse, only a trap made from toy parts will work!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The Nutcracker Nuisance Trap====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In order to build the [[Nutcracker Nuisance Trap]], you'll first need to find the Irradiated LED Bulbs that the Mad Elf Mouse stole at the beginning of the Great Winter Hunt. Larry's intel indicates the bulbs have been broken into three shards and are now being carefully guarded by [[Squeaker Claws]] Mice within the Snow Fortress of the Mad Elf.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Capture three Squeaker Claws Mice, find the LED shards and combine them with your blueprints and splintered wood to create the Nutcracker Nuisance Trap and give the Mad Elf Mouse a taste of his own toy technology!
| |

| | | | |
| − | ====The Gift Opening Ceremony has Begun!==== | + | ==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ==== |
| | + | The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter. |
| | | | |
| − | With a horn blast loud enough to be heard across the Kingdom, the Gift Opening Ceremony has begun! From the middle of a sea of confetti, streamers and balloons the King has decreed that hunters may finally open the [[Festive_Gift_Shoppe#Gifts_under_profile_trees|gifts under their trees]] as well as peek inside their [[team]] stockings! It's time to crack open some of the [[King's Reserve Bubbleh]] and open your holiday gifts!
| + | Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield. |

For reaching the wooden toys goal, [[Carl]] has left a gift under each hunter's tree containing something to help you this Great Winter Hunt. For reaching the clockwork toys goal, [[Larry]] has left a gift under each hunter's tree containing something highly sought after by every hunter. Finally, for reaching the metal toys goal, [[Ronza|a stranger]] from outside the Kingdom has left a gift containing an exciting hint of things to come!

| − | | |
| − | Toy Tinkerers have been found near huge stockpiles of built toys, although the toys these mice build are all booby trapped! Trains with dynamite, flimsy pogo sticks and jack-in-the-boxes stuffed with itching powder are only a few examples of the mischevious inventions for which these mice are responsible.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Toy Tinkerer Mice have also displayed a greater degree of organization when it comes to hoarding toys, creating even further suspicion. The King is almost certain that some sort of evil mouse mastermind is behind the booby trapped toy plot!

| − | A new mouse has been discovered wandering through deep snow drifts! [[Snow Scavenger]] Mice search the snowy terrain looking for spare toy parts and other trinkets left behind from the Festive Comet's explosive arrival.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The appearance of a new enemy mouse is always a concern, however, the arrival of this mouse also appears to have coordinated the efforts of the hordes of festive mice across the Kingdom. Since the arrival of the Snow Scavenger, mice have been seen gathering near the construction yard south of the Castle.
| + | ==== Uncork Festive Spirit ==== |
| | + | When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself. |
| | | | |
| − | What are the festive mice organizing? Could there be something more sinister going on? The King is investigating these new developments at the construction yard. Keep your eyes peeled, hunters; you may soon be called in to help!

| − | After a careful analysis of Toy Wood, Springs and Screws, Moustashio devised a way to incorporate these parts into three new festive charms specially designed to attract mice carrying specific toy parts as loot.
| + | Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt! |
| | | | |
| − | Moustashio's supply of toy parts is low, making these charms difficult to create. Save them for times you need an extra boost or help finding a specific toy part. These charms can be purchased with Facebook Credits or from the [[Festive Comet]] [[Charm Shoppe#Festive Comet|Charm Shoppe]] by spending [[Ice Coin]]s.

| |
| | | | |
| − | The slight modifications, and the fact that the toys were so carefully hidden suggest they were assembled for sinister purposes. Could a mouse be secretly assembling toys? What possible motive could the enemy have for constructing toys and hiding them across the Kingdom?

There are currently an abundance of parts, enough to increase the toy drive goal for Clockwork Toys by more than 30%, and the Metal Toy goal by more than 25%!

| + | The Premium Shop is stocked with four new festive trap skins! Visit the Premium Shop to see the new skins as well as a convenient bundle that includes all of them along with some bonus items. |

| − | The King now needs your help to right Carl's plan and rebuild the lost toys! The mission will not be easy, requiring special festive bait and traveling across the Kingdom, pushing the limits of your hunting expertise!
| + | ==== Festive Activities ==== |
| | | | |
| − | ====Finding Scattered Toy Parts====
| + | The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga. |
| | | | |
| − | The impact of the comet caused toy parts to be spread across the Kingdom, where they quickly fell into the paws of mischievous festive mice. To make matters worse, the festive vermin have become wise to the hunters' tricks from previous years. No longer do they come near traps baited with sweet gingerbread or carefully seasoned gouda. But do not lose hope, for the secret to attracting Festive Mice lies at the comet itself -- Festive Feta Cheese!
| + | <div style="text-align: center; font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold">Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC</div> |
| | | | |
| − | The King's cleanup crew has already discovered a large deposit of Festive Feta and is handing out rations inside hunters' daily Loyalty Chests. Additionally, if you find yourself needing some more, you can hunt at the Festive Comet and search for a few extra pieces. As an added bonus, the very first time you travel to the Festive Comet the King will give you 30 free pieces of Festive Feta.

| | | | |
| − | Once you've obtained some Festive Feta, it's time to hunt for mice carrying toy parts! Head anywhere across the entire Kingdom and use Festive Feta to lure winter mice out from their hiding spots. Try hunting in different locations, and you'll no doubt find different toy parts depending on where you choose to hunt.
| + | <div style="text-align: left; padding-left 0.416em">Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.</div> |

| | + | '''Animated Snow Storm''' |
| | | | |
| − | Looking to further fine-tune festive mouse hunting? Winter Charms are made from small flecks of the Festive Comet itself, which is the only known means of attracting the rare Snowflake Mouse. Snowflake Mice drift across the Kingdom on the cool winter breeze, picking up various knick knacks and odd ends they find -- including recently displaced toy parts! If you find yourself with a surplus of Festive Feta, trade some in at the Festive Comet Charm Shoppe for Winter Charms before heading out in search of toy parts.
| + | <div style="text-align: left; padding-left 0.416em">During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.</div> |

| − | ====Gnawnian Toy Shoppe: Opening Soon!====
| |
| − | The Vacant Lot south of the castle is no stranger to visitors and festivities. The land is owned by the King and often rented to those looking to host celebrations or parties. For whatever reason, however, tenants tend to shy away from the area during late November, and despite the King dramatically lowering the cost of rent, no one has shown interest in renting the lot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just as the King had given up hope of finding a tenant, a particularly festive hunter named Calamity Carl came to Gnawnia asking to build a toy factory where he and his merry toy makers could produce toys for all the young hunters of Gnawnia. Delighted by the offer, the King gladly offered the lot free of charge to Calamity Carl, and almost overnight an amazing toy factory was built!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite having a reputation for not entirely thinking his plans through, Carl's mission to produce delightful toys is going extremely well! In only a few days Carl's team has already produced a massive number of festive toys. It seems his plan to bring a smile to the face of each young hunter will be a great success!
| |
| − | | |
| − | With Calamity Carl's plan to spread festive cheer, this upcoming Great Winter Hunt is sure to be the best ever! Wish Carl luck and knock on wood that his plan stays free of any minor setback!
