<p>We have some good news for the players that were having trouble sounding their horn! Since the pesky, noise-loving Glitchpaw Mice have been tracked down, the unsuspecting hunters that lost their horns should now be able to start hunts normally.</p>
 
  
<p>A few of the Glitchpaw Mice are still on the loose, in various locations across the Kingdom. They are most densely populated in the Gnawnia and Burroughs regions, including the Heart of the Tiger Party. Help end their destructive rampage by tracking them down and catching a few! Despite their nasty behavior, Glitchpaws dislike confrontation-- expect them to slip back into hiding within 24 hours.</p>

<p>Cupid Mice have been also been diligently searching for a way to open the chest and have found the Heart Key.</p>
 
 
<p>It seems however that the chest is sealed by more than just two locks. The magic of the party has sealed the chest until the Heart of the Tiger Party has come to an end.

'''Quick Summary:'''
 
 
* Red Envelope mice are dropping a Tiger Heart Chest that contains a stash of the always delicious SUPER|brie+.
 
* Tiger mice have arrived at the Heart of the Tiger Party who are dropping the Tiger Key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest.
 
* Cupid mice are dropping the other key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The Heart Key.
 
* The two keys and a little patience will be required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The chest is magically sealed until the end of the Heart of the Tiger Party.
 
 
<p>Good luck hunting down your keys. See you at the party MouseHunters!</p>

=== New Mouse and Tiger Heart Chests ===
 
''{{date|12|February|2010}}''
 
 
<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>
 
 
<p>----------</p>
 
  
<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>
+
'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 +
New Eggs and New Rewards!
  
<p>[[Romeo Mouse]]:<br />
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
Always the life of the party, this mouse brought DLU+ heart shaped candies to charm the lady mice with.</p>
+
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
<p>[[Romeno Mouse]]:<br />
+
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
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>
 
  
<p>[[Cupid Mouse]]:<br />
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
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>
+
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
  
<p>[[Costumed Tiger Mouse]]:<br />
+
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
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 />
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
What's a party without good food? In addition to catering the party, these mice have brought fun Ox Masks to celebrate with.</p>
+
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
 +
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
<p>Dressed Up Mice:<br />
+
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
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 />
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
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>
 
  
<p>All of the candies, gifts and masks are fun collectibles to help everyone celebrate, and make hunting more fun!</p>
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
 +
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
  
<p>Happy Heart of the Tiger everyone, and we’ll see you on the dance floor!</p>
+
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
  
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
</blockquote>
 
  
=== Heart of the Tiger Party ===
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
''{{date|9|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<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>
+
You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
  
<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>
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
<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>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
  
<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>
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
 +
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
  
<p>Let the party begin and watch out for those Romeno mice seen crashing the party... They're an easy catch but do not make good company.</p>
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.
  
<p>Have you been counting how many times I said the word "party"? Well... in case it wasn't enough... party Party PARTY!!!</p>
+
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
  
<p>Happy Party Hunting! Get out there and hug a tiger!</p>
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

<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>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>
 
 
 
<p>First up, the camp page gets an overhaul. Hunters will be able to switch their base, weapon or cheese via controls available under the image of their trap all without needing to reload a page.</p>

<p>Second is a reorganization to the mice page. As the number of mice grew so did the lack of organization on the mouse page. We have grouped together the mice in a variety of ways to better organize them based on similar weaknesses as well as location.</p>

<p>Longtail is still a work in progress but its development is something we want to include the community in. As progress is made on Longtail we'll be reaching out for feedback via Feedback Friday sessions as well as videos on the application page.</p>
+
==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
 +
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
<p>That's all for now hunters, happy hunting!</p>
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
  
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

<p>Hey Hunters!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Just a quick update to let everyone know that the problems with the discussion boards have been resolved. New threads are showing at the top once again.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Players who access the game via Safari on their iPhone or iPods will be delighted to know that the strange "white page" error is now gone and you'll be able to view Facebook applications on your iPhone/iPod normally once again. I know I was getting a little antsy not being able to sound my horn on the go!</p>

<p>Hey Hunters!</p>
 
 
 
<p>We have been getting quite a bit of mail asking about a couple of Facebook issues that are currently affecting MouseHunt as well as many other Facebook applications.</p>
 
 
 
<p>The FB discussion boards are currently acting up. When new threads are made they are not appearing as new threads on the forums page. You can get around this and check for new threads by clicking the "See All" link to directly view the discussion board. We'll be investigating if there is anything we can do to fix this problem from our end.</p>
 
 
 
<p>For those of you who access MouseHunt via Safari on your iPod or iPhone it seems that *gasp* the page will not load. This issue appears to be affecting all Facebook applications.</p>

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
<blockquote>
 
<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>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
  
<p>'''***Some of this post is graphic and may not be suitable for young ones.'''</p>
+
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
<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>

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!</div>
  
<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>

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

Vinneus Stalkhome Egg Dungeon Master Egg Malevolent Maestro Egg Mythical Giant King Egg
Magic Bean Egg Lavish Lapis Bean Egg Royal Ruby Bean Egg Golden Harp String Egg
Golden Goose Egg Egg Max Loot Multiplier Egg Love Egg

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
