Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
Section 1


No!
No, no, no! I will not _______ until Longtail comes out. That's what hunters in this thread are discussing, apparantly inspired by Dev Franco's promise to not shave until Longtail comes out. And I intend to make sure he keeps that promise. *menacing stare*


I do!
How often does a Daveloper say "This is a good idea!" in the face of a player-submitted suggestion? This thread here seeks to answer this question, just to see how much the devs love us :)

Once you have posted your log, one of our Certified Log Verifiers will check your profile and verify that what you have posted is true.

Incomplete entries will be ignored. If you submit an incomplete entry, you are welcome to try and try again until you get it right. You may submit more than one log if you choose, but you may only win one prize. Each log is considered a separate entry... no adding logs to make more points. You get 36 hours - make the most of it!!

Entries MUST be verified by a Certified Log Verifier. Right now, they are:
JCS, Doug Schooner, Dane Koster, Michael Hilliard, Damo Bradshaw, Chris Twigg, Ashley Wan, Nicole Stephenson, Jeremy Lim, Nadine Lupien, Corrie Sweeney and Lisa Gustafson. I may add more later on if need be, and if you are interested in being a Certified Log Verifier please submit your application to me via PM.

EVERYONE CAN ENTER. Even Certified Log Verifiers are welcome to play, but they'll need someone else to verify their log ;-) If I choose to enter, I forfeit any prizes. HitGrab Staff and Devs are not eligible for prizes, but dang it would be fun to see them play.

So far, so good, and don't forget to sound the horn!
Comment on today's Nibbler
Section 2
MouseHunter of the Day
Your Name: Jason Jalou De Ramos
Rank: Legendary

1. If you were a mouse, what type would you be and what would you do to escape the traps set out for you?
= I would probably toss in a decoy mouse then let the trap do the destroying first. A few seconds later, the trap tires out and turns off, then I’ll flick the base off and swoop in the cheese.

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?
= When I’m really bored tossing easy to catch mice, once is enough for me. But when I’m really hungry, I pillage a couple of Maki. I did try experimenting a new type of cheese by mixing in limelight, ancient cheese and rumble, but the Acolyte mouse made me forget the secret ingredient.

3. Have you skipped anything important just to sound the horn (ie school, work, sleep)? Did you enjoy it?
= There was a time I slept at 2AM almost everyday because I was busy farming in MH. I was pretty happy because I got a lot of gold, not when mother scolds me before going to sleep.

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?
= I want to meet the Rockstar mouse to get an interview about his personal issues, where will he be playing, what records did he make, get an autograph, teach me his fashion trends and what mouse he likes to take home with him.

5. When was the last time you caught a mouse in real life?
= 1.5 oz. Brown mouse with flypaper and newspaper baited with bacon.

6. What is your favorite trap in the game and why?
= Chrome Nannybot, because I usually imagine it as Lady Gaga singing to the Terrible Twos goodbye.

7. Do you think you could beat an Aged Mouse at chess?
= No, I stink at chess. I would rather dart bishops on him.

8. What was the last occasion where you caught a rare or difficult mouse with a ridiculously low amount of cheese?
= I did an awesome run on the Master of the Dojo lately. It also earned me a ridiculously high amount of gold too.

9. What has been the worst decision of your MouseHunt career, in hindsight?
= Trying to catch a BBB with Swiss Army Mouse Trap in the first place.

10. If the Ornament Mouse, Bottled Mouse, and Lambent Crystal Mouse were having a fight, who would win and why?
= If they decide to hold the fight in Dracano, it would be a competition of “Who will be the last to melt themselves to death?”

The Nibbler is still taking in new hunters for publication in MHotD, so be sure to send it to me via FBmail!

Section 3 is currently rolling in sand with the Merrkats somewhere in the Kalahari Desert... Or maybe it's in Australia... Or Antarctica somewhere with the Meerkats... Hmm, maybe it's just with section 6.
