Editors Newt: As I begin to start todays edition with just a basic outline in my head, I start to open the various tabs I use as my "desktop" so I can coagulate all the little, chewed up pieces of info the Nibbler mice bring into the grotto. Suddenly I'm on Craigslist wondering, "What was I doing again?"
Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
NEVER MIND THE BALACKS
What we know:
Ticker: In the absence of Derr, Nerg and Elub there was only... Balack.
Well. Let's check this out. What does it mean? It definitely means that when Derr, Nerg and Elub was present, Balack wasn't alone. You can talk about this aspect of Balack HERE.
Ticker: Will the King's brave Knights be able to challenge the power of Balack the Betrayed?
Brave knights? I don't know about you but I piddle a little when my t-shirt tag pops out unexpectedly....it's scary..comes up from behind me.
Check out this thread. Tim Bowen expressed it nicely. "Well, we know the level of the area now." This brought about some eager discussion about how the new area, if said Balack has anything to do with a new area or if there is a new area.
So skipping to the Cheese and Whine section, we find the side of people that feel this area should be available for lower levels and not just for the uppity ups. THREAD HERE. It's a festive conversation filled with scandal, lies, intrigue, a few innuendoes and a German Chihuahua. (J/K- The GC is getting his Chi waxed).
In a nutshell:
Got nothin'. Go Fish.
Basically we still have no inside intel. No one is talking and Fern seems to be in deep cover as he hasn't gotten back to us in awhile now. Roxy is worried:(
For all we really know Balack could just be the name of Zugwang's last move and she's upset and wants justice. Who knows?

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Jake Oedekerk "On matters of Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech is not absolute. The only true place you have full Freedom of Speech is in a public place, when it does not conflict with the values or rights of others, and when you are the only speaker. Within an open forum, the rights of others must be observed. Every place has its own rules. It would be rude to walk into a library and begin shouting at the top of your lungs. Freedom of Speech (or Freedom of Expression) must not infringe on the rights of others.
The MouseHunt boards are privately owned, and these terms of service must be agreed to before users can post or use the application. No one enjoys the concept of censorship, but realistically, we need censorship in order to protect ourselves and, more importantly, our players. These terms are here for the benefit of the players."
Straight from the MH ToS.
Booyah!
Posting this as the QotD in no way implies or admits to having ideas, beliefs, opinions, or any thought on the subject from whence it came. I just thought it was nicely put is all and wanted a refresher.
But for those of you that desire a more appropriate and new as opposed to a rerun of sorts:

So far, so good, and don't forget to sound the horn!

(.....me too.....)
MouseHunter of the Day
Your Name: Matthew Lee
Rank: Knight
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'd probably spend a few hours trying to see how the trap works, and find the best way to combat it.
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?
I like cheese sticks a lot :] and also cheese slices. I definitely want to try some glutter cheese, as well as all the various havarti
3. Have you skipped anything important just to sound the horn (ie school, work, sleep)? Did you enjoy it?
My school blocks facebook, but I managed to find a way around that. I usually have one chance during school to sound my horn.
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'd chill with the Master of the Dojo, and find out how to get his muscles. Also, learning how to levitate isn't bad either.
5. When was the last time you caught a mouse in real life?
a grey mouse, using a somewhat modern equivalent of the tacky glue trap, but with a plastic base and some kind of chemically engineered glue that works better than normal tacky glue.
6. What is your favorite trap in the game and why?
It's a tough choice between chrome drillbot and acronym. they both rake in TONS of gold. HVMT is also a close runner up
7. Do you think you could beat an Aged Mouse at chess?
its possible. almost as possible as missing a white mouse with a chrome drillbot/magma/shield setup
8. What was the last occasion where you caught a rare or difficult mouse with a ridiculously low amount of cheese?
my silth. I made 3 runs in the lagoon, the first 2 with no silth. my last run proved to be successful, and one of my most awesome mousehunt moments.
9. What has been the worst decision of your MouseHunt career, in hindsight?
crafting the ship when I did. It was RIGHT BEFORE ronza's rockstar visit, and the only thing i bought was the magma. later, reading all the rage about how awesome the kraken and speakers were, i felt left out
10. If the Ornament Mouse, Bottled Mouse, and Lambent Crystal Mouse were having a fight, who would win and why?
Lambent Crystal. I'd imagine crystal is a heck of a lot stronger than ornaments or a glass bottle. (is that what they all have in common? encased in something transparent?)
Advertising Feature
| The Nibbler is currently ad-less as it waits for Hunters to submit ad-worthy items. |
If you've got any bright ideas for what you think should go in this space for a week or two at a time, give Dane Koster a shout (http://www.facebook.com/dane.koster)
The Forum Enrichment Center(An ongoing Nibbler "contest" for everyone!)This contest is very straightforward. The Nibbler likes it when the forums are a-hoppin' with threads that are a-rockin'. So we're going to PAY people who help bring the goodness to the forums. Yep, it's true!Here's how it works:
1) You notice a really entertaining, informative, or overall appealing thread (or post) somewhere on the forum.
2) You copy the link for that awesome thread (or post).
3) You paste that link into the most recent Nibbler comments thread.
4) You say why you liked that thread (or post).
That's all we need from you!Then we:
1) Choose our very favorite thread (or post) from the ones you've submitted.
2) Feature it prominently in our next Nibbler edition as the THREAD OF THE DAY.
3) PAY UP! We'll give the author of that thread (or post) 50,000 gold, for whatever purposes.
4) And, once a week, we'll give a random nominator for the past week 50,000 gold also.
There is no limit to how many times you can submit, or be the one submitted. But you CANNOT SUBMIT YOUR OWN THREAD (OR POST)! This is not a popularity contest... And besides, the best Nibbler mentions are the unexpected ones!
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.
PS- I'm still waiting for my Monolith Base. Thanks!
