Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
Greetings and salutations mousehunters, another week down the drain and in all honesty not a lot happened ... we laughed, we cried, we lurked and thought of a world without beggars or Ronza. Now before we get to the daily trawlings, a little tidbit from the Nibbler Grotto. It appears during one of our sexy parties an invitation was bestowed upon one of the awesome people that makes up the communitay, so expect a new nibbler to appear from the darkness if he or she or fern so chooses. Now ... TO THE NEWS!!!
NANANANANANANANA BAT MOUSE
There has been talk lately of whether the bat mouse has any actual flying ability ... alright it was actually one post before the thread moved onto much more important questions and idiosyncrasies like "how do we stop the traps from sucking everything in existence into apace" or " Why does the King care so much about the mice which are living offshore...like not in the mainland...they don't disturb the King, so why should we hunt down for them?!!" or my personal favourite " Why must we admit that the mice red boxed us? Can't we just hit the mouse with a hammer and deny anything happened?" If you've got an unanswered question about the mechanics of life in a parallel world where mice are running amok head over to Mark Ccls' thread and let them rip
I can haz one ... everyone else does
Sometimes it's good to have a whine when things are getting you down, no need to be ashamed ... everyone does it in their own way. Yong Guang has gone the way of many others and made a thread pleading to the mousehunt gods for his Big Bad Burroughs mouse after using over 500 limelight cheese, head over to share in his wallowing or even to leech off his thread and whine for your own special missing mouse
Oh longtail, where for art thou longtail?
With the release of the new and improved mousehunt interface on the horizon people are getting quite antsy and trying anything to fill in the time; be it catch a 100 monsters, stock up on Onyx stones, sounding the horn, trying to amass 500 chemists or find a leaf stone for bulbasaur. Head over here to check out the options or add your own

Editors note: If your like me you'll see the dirtiness in there before actually reading the whole quoteTofu - Still trying to find something witty to write here

Well ladies and genltemen, it appears the shipment of questions we ordered got delivered to another cave. We've got our best 70's detectives on the case and should be ready to usher in a new age of mousehunting questions

Every so often when all of the editors are busy we have to order in a few eager young journalism students to be "Freelance columnists" and interview mice ... unfortunately since the unpleasantness when someone insulted a gorgon mouse and turned everyone in the cave to lawn ornaments the recruits have been far and few between. The latest model is supposedly witty and able to write at 50 words per minute ... I can't remember his name at the moment though, so we'll just call him nibbler
It's been just under a year since the isles to the east were taken into the kingdom and the culling began, I remember travelling here on the first boat over with all the eager, bloodthirsty hunters and the select few scouting parties who were travelling to the active volcano and the jungle on "official business" as they called it with a smirk ... I never saw them on the boat back
Soft waves lapping against the pure white sand, not a cloud in the sky. A picture of perfection ... This isn't what greets me as I disembark the Huntington almost a year after my first visit, the waves an inky blue crash against the now blood stained sand, the once pristine fields renowned for their fertility a makeshift graveyard for the three remaining tribes, the once docile volcano spewing deadly ash into the air ... giving everything a washed out grey tinge. There is no sign of life as I approach the Nerg encampment. Upon leaving most of my equipment at the once mighty statue of a past chieftain I am ushered into a dimly lit tent by a grim looking Conqueror before taking his post just outside the door.
The newly elected chieftain eyes me suspiciously from what remained of his ceremonial throne before giving me a curt nod meaning that the interview could begin
Nibbler: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, master chieftain ... I can understand your trepidation at meeting with a human after the destruction and despair that we have caused you and your kind. Can you tell me what life was like before the invasions?
NC: Before your kind came there were 7 tribes living within the surrounding islands ... all tending to a specific task to stop the isles from consuming themselves and becoming what you see before you. It was a life filled with endless labours ... but we were happy. It took only a few days for four of the tribes to be wiped from the history books never to be seen again. It was this upheaval of balance and order that awoke the beast and her guardians in the jungles and started the eventual destruction of both our lands.
Nibbler: ... You believe Gnawnia is in danger. From what exactly? A dragon? The king has amassed an army stronger than any seen in 500 years, and with the advances his scientists have been making the kingdom is a veritable fortress.
NC: When the 7 chieftains first encountered the "dragon" as you call it a powerful spell was placed on the grounds of its' lair severely reducing its strength and abilities ... when the last of the land is claimed by the seas the seal will dispel and no amount of your kings men or the weapons you have amassed will be able to protect you from its' power. The dragon was once taken by the followers of the necronomicon to try and wield her power ... they were unsuccessful and it was transported back
Nibbler: You mean the acolytes and the Ice maiden traps ... that dragon sighting in bristle woods was over 20 years ago. Is there any way to repair the damage to the isles?
NC: No and there is no way to know when the dragon will be released ... If your king was not so eager to expand his kingdom this would not have happened. His bloodthirsty tendencies saw him invade many surrounding countries and forced us to stand against him. He has brought nothing but hardship and suffering to all surrounding him be it hunter or rodent, tell be human ... since his reign started have your crops and beasts flourished, or have they withered and died?
Nibbler: ... I have one last question before I leave you to your planning, if you would allow it
NC: No, you have wasted enough of my time human ... go, tell your king what horrors await him and that the destruction of his kingdom lies squarely on his shoulders and no one elses
I was hurriedly escorted back to the edge of their crumbling territories by the same gruff Conqueror that oversaw the meeting ... a sense of dread encompassed me as I realised the chief was right, there was no hope for any of us. I made my way back to the ship and stared at the twisted visage of paradise for one last time
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.
