The Nibbler

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

First up... we have a FBF Recap from a very new source, Keion Henry! Take it away, Keion!

---

Starts off with a Rainbow hitgrab horsey. We are greeted by the devs after 30 seconds of the awesome HGH. We are greeted with franko who still has an unshaven beard, no MH longtail yet :(
There are going to be 4 questions and a rapid-fire Q&A.


1.)Are you worried about your smash-able nanybot?

-The chrome nanybot and nanybot are still smash-able, they want to know if they should take the smash-ability from them, although you can still re-craft it.


2.) Discussion boards?

-The devs say most likely. There will be an offsite forum and a facebook forum. On the outer forums there will be post counters and ranks equivalent to your number of posts that may or may not be hooked up to your MH profile. You would have to link your facebook profile to the forum site, they will also put in language filters. Mods will be able to move your threads instead of deleting them if they are in the wrong section and you will be able to make stickies. (and hopefully reply!!) After moments of silence we move onto question 3.


3.)Longtail beta testers, do you like the marketplace?(SPOILER)-(ISH)

-Do you like that you are anonymous while selling? Would you like to see a general market-value or an average price graph that the devs would update daily?

More silence......

They wouldn't see the graph implemented all too soon, its in the idea pool
The talk of only buying specific amounts from large sales in the marketplace, say someone sells 2000 SB there would be a progress bar so people could buy chunks at a time. This is also in the idea pool, for now its buy it all at once or nothing.

Lots and lotsa silence.....

Private trades are in the idea pool also.

***********other************

Devs talk of a mini event coming this weekend, they ask if you liked the FG extension and RB boosts for short periods of time, they ask what we would like to say, someone suggests masters of the dojo should be everywhere. They speak of the dojo mice destroying people in the meadow, and the dragon doing the same. Makes them think of changing the spot of a mouse for one day, or make a rare mouse not so rare for the day such as shelder breeding season (lol). Higher firesalt drops, Firesalt friday is suggested. Free travel all day is also suggested.

another more specific question comes along..

4.)What would you like the special tab to be called?

They want a better word to classify it.
Expendables, convertables, boxes, chests, "stuff", clickables, lootables and much, much more. The devs like special mostly. Interactables,mysterioso, a garden tab for pepper plants and they just keep on coming...
Suggested that plants go to the farmville tab.
Also suggest an item that could give you a bad item also, such as take your gold or points, set you back, or give you very rare and powerful items, but it will be discardable. Double or nothing chests that could set you back to novice, and Pandora box is suggested. Box can tell you that you will get this or that, or you can throw it away and not risk it.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_MAILBAG TIME_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Someone wants to know why the acolyte doesn't steal anything. The devs state that they do not, but would you like them to? More yes's than no's, so you what that means bring out the torches. Stealing peoples souls is suggested. Stockade mouse that sends you to the stockade.


*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*RAPID FIRE*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
devs ask what kind of rapid fire do you want, back to back or pure chaos, and then of course dave states that if your watching this recorded they are ending the recording and that ends the FBF review. (isnt that disappointing)

Just as MouseHunters all over the forums were complaining about a 1 month old news post...

Hello MouseHunters!

Jacob Johnson here.
It has been some time since I've uploaded a painting video, unfortunately, the last time I attempted to render out one of these videos my computer actually caught on fire, no jokes.

My computer is much healthier and I am only struggling with trying to find some good open source music to use for the videos. I should be getting these videos out much more frequently if I can find some good music, so look forward to them!

You can check out the mermaid painting video HERE


as well, if you haven't seen them yet, check out these other MouseHunt painting videos:

Harpy mouse

Centaur mouse

Keeper's Assistant mouse

Keeper mouse

Golem mouse


Take care and enjoy!

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 be the "flamethrower mouse" that is known to be attracted by mostly beggars, spammers, people with bad English and attention seekers. My type would be the "Insulting type" and the only way I can escape the traps set out for me would be "remembering the forum rules".

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 only eat a wee bit of cheese during the day, but instead the whole day I do the Nobel deed of feeding cheese to mice ;-). I would love to eat inferno havarti along with ice-cream! Yummy! Yup, I would love to make combat. (I myself wish to experiment that how can we craft cheese using wood and paint!)
3. Have you skipped anything important just to sound the horn (ie school, work, sleep)? Did you enjoy it?
I once purposely had water after eating water melon right in the morning, and supposedly got unwell in a short amount of time to miss school. (It works, try it out at your own risk ^_^)

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 would like to meet the bat mouse and ask him to elaborate that how does he manage to defy the laws of physics by managing to fly? My question for the interview: Mr. Bat mouse, have you ever considered buying a new cloth to use as your wings? Also any plans to change the color?

5. When was the last time you caught a mouse in real life?
Not really, and I won't even attempt. I’m happy ruining the happiness of mice at virtual level; don't wanna mess around with the fleshy ones!

6. What is your favorite trap in the game and why?
I love the high tension spring because it is important in catching the white mouse and the dragon mouse. It gives us a deep and powerful message of equality amongst everyone-even mice.

7. Do you think you could beat an Aged Mouse at chess?
I would try, but If I am unable to defeat him, I would steal his walking stick >:D.

8. What was the last occasion where you caught a rare or difficult mouse with a ridiculously low amount of cheese?
I remember catching my first black widow with the last piece of brie I was left with in harbor, before moving back to ToG to purchase some more. It’s been 13 months since this happened, and It also happened to be my first "oh yeaaahhh!!" moment in mousehunt.

9. What has been the worst decision of your MouseHunt career, in hindsight?
The fact that I left mousehunt three times for two to three months in the middle to explore the possibilities of "getting a life" and then got back to square one has been always been my worst mousehunt decision. (What was the point of leaving if I was coming back? And supposedly I gave out all my gold whenever I left to my friends, which I always regretted once I rejoined.)

10. If the Ornament Mouse, Bottled Mouse, and Lambent Crystal Mouse were having a fight, who would win and why?
Lambent crystal mouse, as crystal is a stronger substance than glass and whatever material is used to make an ornament, and I love shiny objects. Yes, I seriously do love shiny objects.
