Lots of threads, no time to read them all? Here is today's MouseHunt news, highlights, and gossip! Read on:
FRESH OFF THE MONITOR
And I'm not just talkin' cheese, *cough..wiz. Even as I am writing this, the Ticker seems to be changing. Adding and subtracting and returning us to the ever present tickle of Balack.
The ticker had stated, " Rumours of strange noises from the Jungle of Dread..." and then it changed to, "Rumours of strange noises from the Jungle of Dread... who knows what may turn up in the coming days..."
and now it's ....gone? Hmm.. I smell Balacks......
So we return to:
NEVER MIND THE BALACKS
What we know:
Ticker: In the absence of Derr, Nerg and Elub there was only... Balack.
Ticker: Will the King's brave Knights be able to challenge the power of Balack the Betrayed?
NEW ITEMS:
Ticker: " Rumours of strange noises from the Jungle of Dread..."
Ticker: "Rumours of strange noises from the Jungle of Dread... who knows what may turn up in the coming days...
Now all of them are gone....
In a nutshell:
Two decent theories:
Before there was erg, bleh and duh, the was Bah- Do you think Compass island is the key? It was there before Tribal Isles - anon. Submitted by elven carrier pigeons.
Summary
Got nuttin'
BUT!
3 new Forgotten Mice and a new Shadow has appeared. Here are the threads for each subject. 3 new forgotten or ...hmm...and now that link is dead. Funny how links end up dead. One minute they are alive and robust, the next, *poof*, gone with out a trace. Odd how that happens.
w/ music by a fellow MH Mouser: Adam Conyne
Jacob is one of the artists for HitGrab and we get to occasionally see his art in process by way of video. He has called out for MH musicians and song composers to submit music for consideration to his videos. I believe he's still looking for music that isn't bound up in legalities- ie- can't use Metallica. You get the idea.
Here's the newest vid:

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:
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.
A quote of a quote to quote RE: LONGTAIL OVERDUE (according to recent opinions) (Opinions being onions with pins in them btw. You don't wanna eat that do you?)
"Jeff Owens I love this quote. Douglas Adams on Longtail:
Terri Smith-Pena Just remembered another Douglas Adams quote that seems to be strangely apropos here in MH:
"I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.""
RIP Mr. Adams. Thank you for all the Fish and wonderful quotes.
So far, so good, and don't forget to sound the horn!
DRRAGS
MouseHunter of the Day
Mitchell Skinner
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 be a Big Bad Burroughs mouse because they are so big. I think I would just crush the trap and eat my limelight
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?
Havn’t had cheese for a while.. But I would probably try radioactive blue cheese, might just give me superpowers! haha.
3. Have you skipped anything important just to sound the horn (ie school, work, sleep)?
Most definitely sleep. I am still losing sleep trying to catch that Big Bad Burroughs mouse :@
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?
Leprechaun mouse!! Ask him if he’s got any pots of gold for me.
5. When was the last time you caught a mouse in real life?
When I was 6, I picked up a mouse.. They really, REALLY hurt! Never touched a real mouse since.
6. What is your favorite trap in the game and why?
The Mouse Trebuchet. I can just imagine watching those mice fly! Haha.
7. Do you think you could beat an Aged Mouse at chess?
I don’t even know how to play chess…. How sad.
8. What was the last occasion where you caught a rare or difficult mouse with a ridiculously low amount of cheese?
Hmm. I remember making 3 pieces of Onyx Gorgonzala (Whatever it is) and catching the Dojo Sensai with my second piece :D
9. What has been the worst decision of your MouseHunt career, in hindsight?
Making 18 of pieces of rumble cheese using the one piece method, not catching a single Mojo then realizing when I was 30% legendary that I could have made three pieces out of the same ingredients D:
10. If the Ornament Mouse, Bottled Mouse, and Lambent Crystal Mouse were having a fight, who would win and why?
Haha umm.. I really don’t know how those mice can even breathe, but I’d have to pick the Ornament mouse. At least he can kind of roll around, like hamsters in their little hamster balls.
