Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
ATTENTION ATTENTION
The Martians are landing! Quick! Someone sneeze on them!
Oh wait. It’s not the end of the world. Just our privacy on fB. And that’s only because in fB’s quest to take over the world like a certain demented lab rat and a genius lab rat make a better Internet experience, our privacy could be released to the world! Some dude in could see your interests!
Alert, which is less important than the prior alert, but still extremely important due to the nature of the alert!
Due to an accident involving alcohol and a failed attempt to create a thermobaric bomb, the Keeper’s Candle will be burning extra brightly this weekend. Nobody knows how exactly the Keeper’s Candle affects the magical Grove, but this means Rune collecting! Too bad if you want to get into the AR. Discussion threads were set up in a New York Second, the shortest unit of time, which is defined as the time between the light turning green, and the NY cab behind you honking.
Quote of the Day
last time someone threw a kitten at me I retaliated by chucking a puppy at them. Long story short it ended up in an all out animal war. Swordfish were used, there were turtle land mines, squirrels were used as grenades ……was ugly in the end.
From the thread on Forum Lurkers.
And now... FBF!
And the whole world of MH stops when the devs open a magical portal to their office at here. Horns are left unsounded, mice start celebrating, and hunters start screaming like fans when Endless Eight finally ended.
Never fear, for RGm is coming to the rescue, with this editor here to fix any grammatical errors! *Insert epic music befitting a Gold Mouse drenched in RB Sludge*
FBF has started 3 minutes past the hour. Sessions is alive! :O
I am attacked by a giant ad for Macy's. :P
Franco shows up with a larger beard, so Longtail has not been released yet.

FEEDBACK QUESTIONS
If Tokens were to be used as currency, what would you want to spend them on?
Dave suggests Black Widow bait, or Hope mouse bait as a possibility.
Cheese staler, Crafting items, Potions. Franco suggests a cheese that works like RB, but Dave suggests RB potions instead.
What would you like to see inside the Chests?
Dave has made the promise of CHUCK NORRIS in the Chest. Franco points out that Dave made this promise, and not him.
Would wait until Longtail so that you have the chance to get more than one item from the Chest.
QUIT ASKIN' US
Why is Derr so hard?
Dave says it's the higher gold that makes it harder, more of a challenge. I (RGm, not me. Direct your Molotov cocktails that way, please) just say you're a sissy.
Will the iPhone app be free?
Still working on it.
MAILBAG
Yield per potion seems wonky as you level up.
It is a rounded-down percentage boost. But in Longtail, it will be more controllable.
(Franco did that, says it was fun)
What mouse do you want to see the Miss stats for?
*Misses the stats for the White mouse*
*Misses Acolyte stats*
(Editor’s note: It’s half a million, if I’m not wrong. Then again, it was 11pm.)
We are now 16 minutes in if you're checking the recorded video for these stats.
Toy mouse has been missed 10 times.
The list will possibly be posted on the forums for all to see.
Why is the Conquerer mouse less common than the Vanquisher and the Derr equivalent (Forgot its name).
Because people hunt in Derr and Elub more often.
LONGTAIL
Will it work on iPhone?
Franco logs into Facebook on his iPad and Dave sounds the horn. Live cheating! :O
Franco missed a Gold mouse, mwahahaha!
Franco shows the new Grey Mouse.
Franco goes to find the new Brown mouse.
Dave says there will be a place where you can see every variation of any mouse EVER. (Editor’s Note: I believe he wanted to make a retro area, possibly in the style of MH V1 and V2)
Franco shows a new Brown mouse.
Any new areas or mice?
There are new mice, including a LONGTAIL mouse, and 6 or 7 others. The Tournament Hall is the first content release after Longtail.
Franco once again brings up the Sandwich base.
Do I haz be n00b when Longtail released?
Dave says HECK NO! Your stats will transfer, so Jennifer has nothing to fear.
When Longtail is released, Franco will shave off his beard.
If you are interested in the random loot drops, or the Monday Mystery mouse, fan the Mousehunt page.
Record is off, Rapid Fire Q&A
Nerf guns, do you use them in the office?
Yes, they are fun. Bryan locked up the bullets. (Editor’s Note: For a few moments after that, people started promising to send Nerf bullets to the devs.)
What's the deal with missing trap checks?
Dunno
FG timer lengthened?
Dunno
Gold Shield for buying shirts?
Would be a good idea.
April updates?
Wait until April
Unstable Curd?
We will add to it, and not remove items.
Ronzaburger?
You can display it as a novelty.
Shorter Tourneys?
Yes.
Multiple traps/bases?
You can buy as many as you like in Longtail, for absolutely no reason. (Editor’s note: Sooner or later, some idiot bored hunter will go for 100 ACRONYMs, 100 ABTs and/or 100 Ice Maidens.)
What will be the rank after Count?
Dunno
Open a Chest, can we choose one of many options?
Maybe
Can we sell traps?
At the shop you bought it.
Ronza done with vacation?
No postcards from her, so no idea.
There will be exclusive items only obtainable by Tokens or Chests.
Inferno Havarti potions?
Not likely.
Better use for Ancient potions?
Dave takes offense as he just used 100 of them and is quite happy about it.
*Gets bored*
Features or bugs
Hunting Behavior
Weight no longer affects gold and points, or maybe something different.
A base 50 points when sounding the horn, and 25 per friend in Longtail.
Choosing when your Log shows up.
Effective/Less Effective, maybe a bar under the trap to show how effective it is in it's area.
Longtail stats are below the trap, but cheese effect is in Inventory.
Inventory page: Tabs are gone for now, but will be back, yet spiffier.
Special: Open all is currently gone in Longtail, but will be back.
Shoppes: Doesn't arm right away.
Tax will be 10% all over.
Dragon mouse image has been squished, this will be fixed.
Power types are changed to groups.
Indigenous Mice
Forest Guild
The Shadow Clan
Digby Dirt Dwellers
Followers of Furoma
The Forgotten Mice
Aquatic Order
The Elub Tribe
The Nerg Tribe
The Derr Tribe
The Dreaded Horde
Draconic Brood
Event Mice
When you're a Novice, you can become 101%, but when you refresh, you level.
The Discard button will be removed.
In case you haven’t realized, notifications are gone. Facebook’s fault, no Glitchpaws for you.
Ingame notifications? We'll try, but it won't be right away.
It looks nice, but not for all mice. The Monster mouse is a zoom of his eye, which wouldn't work. Well, so a Black and White is suggested for those.
Dave wraps up.
We are 3 minutes past the hour once again, so this FBF was exactly 1hr long.
This review is written by RGm, also known as Radioactive Gold mouse, or radioactivegold in the chat.
Okay. RGm missed out something about some dude promising to donate 10 million dollars if MH is updated to Longtail in an hour. Then he chickens into promising to donate 10 million rupiahs after people ask him to donate, then wait for the devs to update. That's about a thousand US dollars, or 70,000 pieces of SB.
So far, so good, and don't forget to sound the horn!
As always, if you want to be MHotD, copy and paste the quiz into a message, replace Kwan Hao's answers with yours and PM them to whoever's writing the Nibbler. *cough me cough*
Your Name: Chan Kwan Hao ︻
1. If you were a mouse, what type would you be and what would you do to escape the traps set out for you?
Gold mouse! I would gold-plate the traps that I meet and the trap holders will be happy. then they would probably not catch me. i think.
2. How much cheese do you eat in a day? Which MH cheese are you most likely to eat in real life? Would you ever consider crafting cheese at home?
Pizza counted? Cos I don't eat cheese. at least I am not a fan of cheese. that's why I am using cheese to attract mice, not hotdogs!
3. Have you skipped anything important just to sound the horn (ie school, work, sleep)? Did you enjoy it?
I skipped my CCA (co-corricular activity) because I didn't feel like going, then decided to use the computer because I had nothing to do =D But it's not important. So it's okay. And yes I enjoyed it.
4. Which mouse would you most like to meet? (Assuming the mice could talk, of course.) What questions would you ask that mouse in an interview?
Probably the New year mouse. I would ask him/her/it if he/she/it is related to the 2010 trap. I mean, you never know.
5. When was the last time you caught a mouse in real life?
If you count those pest in my class as mice, yeah I've caught lots of them. and pest i mean annoying people. but then... they just give bruises, not gold/points.
6. What is your favorite trap in the game and why?
Chillbot, because I like to chill. Nah just kidding. I like the hitgrab rocking horse. Why? Cos i don't understand how will a floating rocking horse catch mice. wow.
7. Do you think you could beat an Aged Mouse at chess?
Duh. The aged mouse is just so old and, old. It's not like it is wise or whatever, unlike... ME.
-flatters myself-
K to speak the truth, I think I will win him in chinese chess, and maybe for tournament chest. (get the pun? HAHAHA)
8. What was the last occasion where you caught a rare or difficult mouse with a ridiculously low amount of cheese?
I don't remember. But I do remember catching a Mobster with Gouda. And I was busy laughing at my friend beside me who was cursing me. =S And I remember I caught 3 dragons with, maybe round 6 or 12 inferno havarti?
9. What has been the worst decision of your MouseHunt career, in hindsight?
Doing this quiz, hoping to be the MHotD when I could be sounding the horn at http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/soundthehorn.php
10. If the Ornament Mouse, Bottled Mouse, and Lambent Crystal Mouse were having a fight, who would win and why?
I remember in one of the video posted by the Nibbler, Ornament mouse got owned by someone stepping and crushing it to obtain the blueprint... So not the ornament mouse. The bottled mouse would probably roll over the ornament mouse to crush it, though it would be quite hard since they are both round. the lambent crystal mouse would probably call his/her/its relative, Adam Lambert to sing a high pitch song, maybe "For your entertainment" to shatter the glass that is enclosing the ornament mouse and the bottled mouse, then burst their eardrums and then lie dead on the floor. then the lambent crystal mouse would be beside laughing at them but it would not have notice that my Chrome Drillbot and Magma Base (HAHAHA) appeared behind it and crushed it, drilled through the crystal layers right through its heart. then I'll collect the 3 mice's corpse and sell it for points and gold. that's how I get 3 hunts in 1 horn.

Padlocks don’t zip, Jack Daniels is not a good replacement for toothpaste and no, I don’t want to have a summer party in your basement on Sunday. There’s something coming out in the Nibbler that I'd like to join.
But why? You should come because the whole Brigade will be there and all eleven Doctors will be there and this time we won’t be inviting anybody from Ankh-Morpork and Ritsu and her band will be there in a competition against ENOZ and Nagato will be playing the electric guitar and I like your beard and...
No. And I don't have a beard.
Aww...
