************************************** Week 98: 14-20 Juli 2010 **************************************


We have a permanent title!

Mrs Shrugs suggested it first and it then gathered the largest number of votes. We would like to thank everyone for their input and suggestions and in particular Mrs Shrugs for coming up with the winning title. Congratulations!! As a reward, Tinkerbell will give you �eternal infinite pixie dust�.

Hopefully, the new permanent titles for worlds 71 and 99 will enable both our regulars and more incidental hunters to recognize us more easily amongst the cacophony of effigy-related spam. The title also marks an anniversary of penguin hide and sake based on a unique combination of intuition, skill and spontaneously choreographed teamwork. In the past, we compared our approach to herding and trapping in terms of dancing. Having seen some amazing pieces of trapping skill over the past 12 months, I can verify that avatars have a far greater repertoire of dance moves than those prefab emotes !

Despite the fact that our approach has proven to be durable, successful and extremely effective, we are still interested in game play innovations and also want to invite many more players to experience the fun of penguin hide and seek. We welcome all kinds of players, high levels as well as low levels, experienced as well as inexperienced, skillers as well as killers .

Thread-based penguin hunting is stronger than ever. Therefore we are not linked with any clan chat(s) that hunt penguins on W99 or W71. Our trade mark is that we hunt on the basis of threads only and it is a formula that works extremely well.

We rely on a whole community of hunters and continue to be grateful for all forms of support. The continuity of this support has been overwhelming and makes us all feel proud to be part of it.

Since the beginning of the alternative form of penguin hunting (by thread only) we have continuously flourished and succeeded with the help of many amazing hunters. We have always used the forum as communication for penguin locations and this is how we will continue to report.

Please rest assured that you do not need a cc to hunt penguins effectively. Over 6 months of successfully reporting penguin locations by thread only has proven to many that no clan chat is needed for finding, herding and trapping penguins and you can get your penguins in a record time just using a thread. We do our best to cater for experienced and well as inexperienced hunters.

This is a concept we strongly believe in and it is a conscious choice for us. However, we are very happy to support on an individual basis, clan-based hunting for friends-groups. If you are hunting with friends, or if you want us to give locations in your cc, we are happy to do so. We can also support hunters who prefer to correspond in German or Dutch. We can also help you hunt penguins on your own home world. Just contact us if you are interested!

The thread is our main lifeline. That is why it is dominated by location updates. However, we welcome all forms of constructive input; even if it is just to say that all is well. Several of us will have PM on when in game if you need to contact us.

There are a few minor rules we hope you can stick to:

(1) Do not report our activities in world60-only clan chats. This is very disruptive to those chats and confusing to the players who depend on them to find their penguins. If you are not sure whether your cc supports non-world60 reports, please ask one of the ranked members of that cc.

(2) Do not set out to disrupt this activity or encourage others to do so. You will be reported and as a result your account might accrue enough black marks to warrant a ban. This also applies to alias accounts.

(3) Respect the open and friendly community atmosphere. Everyone has an equal entitlement to the pursuit of happiness (as long as it is within the same spirit of the game). If someone is irritating you or provoking you, simply place them on ignore.

(4) If you want to learn more about hunting, herding and trapping, ask advice from those who are with you. Perhaps you can teach each other some new tricks of the trade

(5) On this thread, we welcome all reports on penguins across the whole of world 71, as long as they are genuine. We also welcome any constructive comment about what you think of our initiative and how we might improve this activity for the benefit of all.

(6) We kindly ask you to keep in-game issues in-game. Our thread is not intended to be a discussion forum but primarily a forum for communication concerning penguin locations. We really welcome people posting updates as they spy, even if it is simply to confirm that the locations are correct.
