Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
Shirts Ahoy!
The first batch of fan-designed T-shirts have already made their way to the Cafepress textile emporium, where they can now be purchased. A variety of flavors are available for the Terrible Twos, White Mouse, and Burglar designs.
Interested? Visit MouseHunt's store to check them out: http://www.cafepress.com/mousehuntmerch/
You'll also notice that these are only 3 of the 8 listed winners of the T-shirt competition. That's because, as dev Mike points out:
More of the designs will be making their way to the store later on, too, Folks. We're just waiting on some files from some designers.That's okay. We can wait. MouseHunters are nothing if not a patient sort.
* I returned to check my trap, but it appeared my Gouda cheese had failed to attract a mouse. I replaced my bait since it seemed to be stale. *
GRRR! DEVS, GIMME MAH SEASHELLS!
Here's a thread discussing it.
Dedication will always pay off.
Well, sometimes, anyway. And if you want something and are willing to work hard to get it, you're still not likely to be the Supreme Ruler (tm) of the Earth. But if all you want is a full set of Plankrun's Journal covers, there's a good chance you'll get your wish. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but someday...
Someday ended up being about 7 months later for hunter Brad Babai, who hunted with dogged determination in the Bazaar and the Town of Digby for the lion's share of that time with the sole purpose of getting Plankrun's Back Cover. In that time, he's collected 95 Mole mice and 192 Burglars... Talk about having the odds stacked against you. But he did it.
So, congrats, Brad! There's a whole kingdom out there for you to explore now!
You can add your congrats here.
It affects thousands of Hunters
Every day...
I'm talking about a serious condition called premature trapulation (a term coined by Nathanael Paul Read), and it's discussed in-depth in this thread. Please, don't lie to your trap about the 15 minutes being up... You know it's just as eager as you are.
Anyway, visit the thread.
Fun for the visually enabled!
Not quite as much fun for partially blind folks like me... Although I did quite enjoy going cross-eyed anyway!
Anyway... Remember those Magic Eye puzzles that you'd sometimes see in newspapers? Well, now you can have one with good ol' ASCII characters! Trevor Hastings delivers one right to your doorstep in this thread...

* Ahem * I'd like to get up on my Soapbox...
I just saw someone complaining about how Nugget Mice should not drop Onyx Stones. This is what I think.
I actually thought this game was about each one of us, individually, making our OWN progress. I guess I was wrong. Apparently if someone gets to another location before us because they were lucky enough to get a very rare piece of loot we should begin sweating and stating how "unfair" it is! Oh wait... That's right. If they do skip Furoma they will not have any of those mice!
So, the way I see it, you can either spend your time here whining and crying about how Nuggets should not drop Onxy Stones because it will allow new players to skip Furoma or you can play this game knowing contently that if they do skip that area they will be lacking at least 15 mice and even better you can simply play this game at your own accord AND not really give a damn about where other players are in relation to you.
I, personally, am going with that final option.

A very Nibblery selection of always-useful links
Over time, we hope to expand this section to include a lot of links that would be useful to hunters of all shapes and stripes. Pretty soon, the standard shrug-off reply to forum questions won't be "Check the Wiki", it'll be "Check the Nibbler"!
If you've got a link that you think is missing, then be sure to let us know.
The Nibbler remains a wholly independent MouseHunt daily news e-publication. Throughout the day, our reporters scour through all the discussion boards, as we are dedicated to bringing the noteworthy news, highlights and gossip of the day to you, the hunters.
