The timer spreadsheet that you found Ithil is run by a guy named Chad (I forget his last name at the moment) and last Christmas he linked to a YouTube video about the birth of Christ. I thought that was pretty awesome. He's not directly affiliated with Mousehunt, but he is one of the more well known members on the MH forums.

Well my team is tournamenting it up in the Laboratory today. Hoping to come in the top 50% at least (which shouldn't be a problem unless we have a REALLY bad tourny) so Gymmie can get her Silver Base.

After that it's back to the Iceburg for me. Another General come and gone this morning that wasn't Drheller. I've only caught 34 generals so far.

Sadly, only a Bronze trophy or better will get me my base today, sob. I'm at 76 tokens...seems like I've been stuck in the 70's forever, lol.

On a brighter note, I should have enough points to upgrade my MVMT by tomorrow night; the weekend at most. AND yesterday I finally caught my Aged and Elder mice! Phew. Only look like, 35-40 pieces of Crunchy/Shell apiece. I feel extremely lucky that I got my Grandfather on my third piece of Gumbo (and one piece was wasted in Nerg, lol). Incidentally, all three mice were caught on trap checks...definitely believe in the power of extra luck now, lol.

9:15 pm - Seasonal Garden
I returned to check my trap, but it appeared a Fall Familiar Mouse had eaten a piece of cheese without setting it off.

9:10 pm - Seasonal Garden
I sounded the Hunter's Horn, but my efforts were fruitless. A Harvester Mouse ate a piece of cheese without setting off my trap.
Additionally, the power of this mouse crippled my courage, setting me back 5,097 points!

*and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth*

I have the Spring and Summer key shards. Hopefully the Winter one won't be as hard to get.

I got the sandtail call to arms! But I still need the Fall Familiar. After this I'm thinking a Zuzwang's Tower run.

Wow, that's actually quite a lot. At least when you finally caught them they dropped the pieces you need (Or at least I assume they did otherwise I'd imagine you'd be telling us how very unhappy you were about it.)

I'm at 76 tokens...seems like I've been stuck in the 70's forever, lol.

Well, we got you two more last night (still mad about the lack of Monster mice ) and I"m sure your Nerg tourny will go splendidly today and you'll have your Silver Base by this evening!!!

*and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth*

That really stinks. At least there's still nearly two more days to go, so hopefully you'll get both of those mice before Winter arrives.

I got the sandtail call to arms!

Congrats on the Call to Arms!!! Yay!! Only 17% more to go until you can join us in the Warpath.

My team and I are currently doing a 24 hour Warpath tournament. Hard to gauge how we're doing as it started right before we all went to bed so we're pretty much at the bottom of the pack and will be working our way up through the ranks all day. But I"m sure we'll be able to at least get the top 50%.

ETA @ 10
FBF Review....
~They would like to increase the number of weekend events. But they'd prefer it'd be something simple for them that they can just turn on and off and not get in the way of building new content.
~Lots of questions that all came back to players' desires and wants and such. The devs repeated over and over that if there is something you want to see, don't hesitate to post your ideas on the MH forum under the feedback section and they will do what they can. The trick of course is implementing popular ideas (like new Library assignments) in place of the bigger projects (like the Living Garden).
~The Chrono Mouse will be added soon. Maybe within a couple of hours. Not a weekend event, he's new permanent content (very likely the Forgotten Grove or Acolyte Realm). Dan the Dev says you will need patience cause he's in the new "big bad" category.
~Next Friday will be an Art FBF

And that's it!

That was a very scatterbrained FBF . I was really hoping for some new info on new content. . . oh well .

Chrono Mouse is apparently some sort of time traveler I think? I wonder what it'll entail catching him.

5:12 pm - Seasonal Garden
I sounded the Hunter's Horn and was successful in the hunt! I caught a 4 oz. Harvester Mouse worth 17,425 points and 8,460 gold.

The mouse also dropped the following loot:
1 Fall Key Shard

And now, the question of the hour: stay in the Seasonal Garden and attempt to catch the Fall Familiar? Or attempt the Chrono?

The Grove doesn't close for awhile, I suppose I could stay where I'm at for now.

Yeah, they really picked a poor time to release a mouse into the Acolyte Realm (at least for those in the US). The grove doesn't close until 4 o'clock in the morning for me, which means that I'll nab a realm ripper on my 4:45 AM trap check, which means that my first chance to get a Chrono is at 5:45.

My plan is to set up in there this evening after our tournie finishes in an attempt to get enough runes to make a decent batch of runic cheese (with any luck, I could manage to get 10-20 runes). If not. . . I'll take the pricey potion route in the morning.

Good luck with your chrono everybody!!!

Yaaaaay!!! Congrats on your Fall Key Shard. So just the Winter Key Shard right? As to the Fall Familiar and Chrono Mice, both are permanently in the game so it's entirely up to you. I think if it was me I'd go for the Chrono Mouse cause that's what everybody else is doing and I like to hunt with my friends.

So I'm thinking the Chrono Mouse is rare AND hard, kind of like the way the Silth used to be. I haven't seen any of my friends attract him yet. I haven't either, though I did attract two Acolytes (caught one, yay!). I'm thinking due to my small supply of Runic Cheese I may be a little more patient and efficient and farm runes in the Grove instead of just converting potions (sheesh those are expensive... blegh), but I'll wait until after the tournament is over tomorrow to do that.

Good luck to everybody going after the Chrono Mouse!!

ETA: You can buy the Acolyte Champion Kit for 4 Tournament Tokens if you're desperate and have lots of tokens laying around (which I think very few people do). It contains....
~3 Runes
~1 Runic Potion
~12 Stale Cheese
The Grove closes again at 11pm CDT tonight so if you need to run out and restock on supplies, that's the time to do it!

Big day yesterday, lol. I finally got enough points to get my HVMT, and immediately took it on a test run in a Nerg tourney. I was able to get the last three Nerg mice I was missing, got a lot of pepper seeds and got my first ABT BP drop.

When the tourney ended, I had enough tokens so I bought my Silver base. Finally, because it seems like its taken forever!

Then I joined the 48 hour Forgotten tourney, which I still am in right now. I got two Spectres on one page of horn calls so I'm happy, lol! And I was able to get into the Acolyte Realm overnight and was able to snag a Lich and Wight, so now I have all those mice except the Acolyte and Chrono. I also got hit by three Acolytes in the night but couldn't catch them obviously, lol.

Right now I'm back in the Grove, hunting away. We're doing decently so far considering that I don't think we've had everyone online at once at any point so far, lol. If we can keep it up, we should be able to stay in the top 25%.

*Checks of the Chessmaster! One more down... a bunch more to go lol.

I'm gonna settup for another tower run that'll hopefully complete this task... then after the Chrono

Gymmie, congrats on your HVMT and completing your Nerg catches!

Wolf, congrats on your Chessmaster!! Yay! That's very cool that you can check off all the mice in the Tower now. And I'm not sure that I ever said congrats to you on your two Shelder catches. All that work and then you got two of them. So after the Chrono Mouse, what's next on your to-do list?

Also gotta give a shout out to starkat and Lady Arwen for snagging their Chrono Mice.

I haven't been able to nab one yet, but I did finally attract two of them yesterday. They're definitely reminding me of the old school Silth Mouse. The good news is that I snagged three more Acolyte Mice, two of which dropped a whole lotta runes so I was able to stick around in the Realm a lot longer than I thought I was going to. But now I'm down to 10 pieces of cheese so after this, I'll go ahead and move to the Grove to farm runes until it closes again tonight. I just hate spending all that gold on Runic Potions.

So after the Chrono Mouse, what's next on your to-do list?

I'm not entirely sure as it depends on when I level. Right now the only non-event, lady or less (edit: not Icewing ) mice I'm missing are the Fall Familiar, the Crown Collector, the Chrono, and Zurreal. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Soul Harvester... as I've been having bad luck during fall in the SG. Also I just wasted 15 pieces of SB because I wasn't online when the season changed, and didn't switch my trap. I might work a little on either a Guantlet or Dracano run, but if I level up whilst after the Chrono, I'll head to the Warpath.

First thing on my to do list is to hit 50% though... So is the Chrono attracted to Ancient or Runic?

Edit forgot about the Icewing mice ... I'm missing 4 of those so I might make a run through there...

Wolf, if I were you, I'd skip the Soul Harvester and just go for the Reaper's Perch. You'll be able to get that once you get Zurreal, and it's only a little bit more than the Soul Harvester.

So is the Chrono attracted to Ancient or Runic?

Runic.

And I completely second DiGs's advice. I know you're a trap collector and Fall is going to be rough for you with just the Soul Catcher, but aside from just catching the Fall Familiar mouse, there's nothing you need from there. Collecting traps can always be done later when you have nothing else to do.

DiGs, congrats on your Chrono Mouse!
