Mouse Info Template

Can we have a fixed template for all mice?

i.e.

The <mouse breed> is a breed of mice found in the <exact area(s), not region>. They are worth at most <xxx> points and at least <xxx> gold.

Special Note (e.g. Hollowhead mice are only released during and around Halloween (October 30) OR Mobster mice carry cash prizes, which can be claimed via PayPal or redeemed for SUPER|brie+ cheese. )

Hunting Advice (e.g Ghost Mice are susceptible to shadow traps and Radioactive Blue cheese, albeit they are not hunting requirements OR Master of the Cheese Fang Mice are susceptible to tactical traps and Combat cheese, albeit the former is not a hunting requirement)

Loot (if applicable) <name, area (if applicable)>

See Also (if applicable)

History (if applicable)

Trivia (if applicable)

Missing High-Res Images

  • I started a topic on the Tavern board requesting Elf, Mobster or Leprechaun images... somebody added the Elf on here, but there was no response to the others. I also sent a personal message to Amy White requesting an image of the Master Burglar, but there was no response from her either. :/ Revengeance 14:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Ratings

Just noticing a trend in mouse descriptions saying "they are considered <blank> to catch" where blank is effortless, challenging, etc. The difficulty rating is relative to each trap setup so perhaps it is best to not include the difficulty rating in the generic description of the mice. --Dave Vanderburg 21:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Update: I've edited nearly all of the mice to remove the difficulty listed (as it is trap-dependent) and add the max point value. Mice that still need point values added to their page: Leprechaun, and Mobster. Matt Johns 20:43, 16 October 2008 (EST).

Let's not list suggested mice or "unofficial" mice here please.

Table

Maybe we should list the mice in a sortable table? --Navarr 04:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


Categories

Just threw the mice into regional categories (Gnawnia, Burroughs and Furoma), according to the MouseHunt lists. So, the articles probably only need to mention locations from now on. Revengeance 18:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Oops

All of the minimum gold amounts from MouseHunt are wrong. For instance, 100 gold isn't how much a 1 oz White mouse is worth, it's 101 gold... 0 oz mice don't exist. I'll go through and update everything, but as Matt Johns said, the points values of Mobster, Master Burglar and Leprechaun mice are still needed. Revengeance 11:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

  • I've done a bit of adjusting on the first eight mice articles... I got rid of the quoted description, since I've added an "External links" section with a link to each mouse's Facebook page if people want to view it, along with high resolution images. I cleaned up the "Loot" sections on articles which have it, ordering the loot by location. Oh, and the points/gold sentences are formatted as: "They are worth at most (value) points and at least (value) gold." Just to keep it simple. If we think it's a suitable format, I or anybody else can get around to reworking the others. Revengeance 14:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Mice Type

Perhaps it time to create a category for Mice Types such as 'Ghostly', 'War', and 'All Around' like Burroughs/Furoma/Gnawnia Mice for trap effectiveness

  • What's "War"? HitGrab hasn't specified any mouse types, so anything like this would be speculative. Revengeance 08:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Well I'm thinking of references to mice that are weak against certain power types. But as one person has done with the Tactical page, identifying the specific mice that are weak to it. So perhaps instead of separating the mice include "effectiveness" against mice in the power type page.
      • Sorted the list into Physical, Shadow, Tactical, although I've probably misplaced some mice so if anyone has clearer info please do move them into the correct list. -- Grexx 16:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
        • I've reverted it to the ordering from MH. Mice aren't "Physical", "Shadow" or "Tactical"... those are power types of weapons. Certain mice are simply vulnerable to certain power types. Most mice articles already state their vulnerabilities, which is the simplest way to handle this. Additionally, each power type article could list which mice they are effective against. Revengeance 02:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
          • I agree, it would be unwise to list mice by their weakness due to the fact one mouse can have weakness to many power types. It is also worth noting that some mice process resistances to certain power types in specific locations. An example is a Ninja mouse in the Dojo, where they are resistant to physical damage, unlike outside the Dojo. --Dave Vanderburg 00:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Unknown Mouse

I don't think it should be included under the All Mice category as it will likely confuse new Mousehunters who see like over 20 Unknown Mouse in their lists. If it is to be included at all, it should probably get a category on its own, such as "Not in game yet" Category or something like that. -- Grexx 07:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

  • They're listed here to keep this article synchronized with the official MH ordering. Since they don't link to anything, I can't see how new players would become confused by them. Revengeance 17:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
