I am happy to see a few people liked my treat! This is my little derp.

I'm right there with ya. Its warmer, so I have way more work to do and have been working 8-12 hour days on top of a 90 minute drive to work. I pretty much only work and sleep at this point.

Oh.. seems some of the items I did, got really messed up, or simply dont exist based on that list up there. *grumbles* At least some of them are usable.

That ones mine. Silly postcard, because they were some of my favorite things to get when I was a kid hunting around my Grandfather's house. There were 4 houses that handed them out, and the ladies had the prettiest handwriting (I wasnt allowed to have my candy, due to braces)

IRC could use more help. With me being largely inactive, and several (most) of our hops busy with real life stuff, we're down to just a few people being around. Its nowhere near as rough as forums are to mod For those of you worried about time constraints regarding work/school: Modding in general isnt an all day every day thing, unless you want it to be. Real life trumps, even if you only have an hour or so a day you could devote because of your schedule, just say so in your application. Dedicated mods can pull off a lot in just an hour a day. If you have an interest, and the desire to help out, then apply.

Tins look great with balloons... which are in no way "buff". I too am a fan of the bulkier, buffer dragons.. but some of the thinner, lighter builds are rather pretty.

I have a hard time seeing these as a prank as they are catchable, raise-able.. can be targeted by BSA. I think its more that they are a joke breed.. like dinos and chickens.

They were mixed for me on the first day, the next morning. I saw the initial flood, but waited. I had a harder time with the blue ones due to mixing.. but then saw them dropping in 2s and 3s rather quickly.

Nearly every release ever is mixed into normal drops by now (excluding holidays). I generally never know there is a release until at least 6 hours in, and usually they have already begun mixing by then. Any time its a single breed being released, they appear rare pretty quickly. Its not a reason to get twitchy, usually within a few days they are easy to catch. BUt as most people are still able to find multiples, this late into the first day of the release.. I think its pretty safe to say they arent rares. Just harder due to mixed cave I never assume things are rare. Just annoying to catch

I nearly always cant start until halfway into day 2. Easter itself is a minimum of 6 hours on the road, and 5 different stops (as is Christmas). People starting right now, probably wont get them all, but they can get MOST of them.

Heh glad to see the link is still around. I had also thrown it in my sig to make it easier to find.

Here, countdown timer for the event: http://duck1123.github.io/countdown/

you have just under 27 hours.

Yes.. they just sit there looking pretty, waiting around on you to come back and make weird squeaky noises over your favorites... year after year

like.. every 5-10 minutes, just like always. If you start now, you should have plenty of time to get them all. Most years, I dont get to START until about this far into the event, and I usually finish. The kids though, not so much. They dont have the attention span to finish usually

The ten year old, made one a few years back (2012? Carrot egg with tiny flowers). His sister really wanted to make one, and I didnt have enough invites for them both to make one, so they paired up (had they both made their own, I would have dropped out, to keep it fair). The younger one has been practicing for a little over a year now, so she was really, really excited to be allowed to make something for you guys. I have an entire collection of their attempts at making the dragons from about the time they were three. Someday, I'll go ahead and toss them out for everyone to giggle at. (im happy to sit down and show people the basics if they want to learn to sprite. Im not as awesome as the artists, but I can at least show the steps I use to get someone started.)

That one was made by a 9 and 10 year old. They took /forever/ to finish it

You have plenty of time, just set a timer, and grab them as you can. I often cant even start the egg hunting until day two (we have 5 stops minimum EVERY holiday, so day of events are highly frustrating). Most years, I've managed to get all of mine, but the kids end up missing some.

I've only got like.. 8 so far. Between me and the kids, there isnt going to be enough time for us ALL to get our eggs. But, we're trying. (Our Easter started crazy cold, warmed up to beautiful sunny day on the lake, and then downgraded into severe thunderstorms with the big flashes of lighting hitting trees by the water. The storm on the lake was pretty cool, dont get me wrong, but Thu is a lightning rod and so hides in the house when the lightning is that close! Upside, while it was still sunny, I found a ring that had been missing a few years by the dock. Water was way too cold to actually go in to get it, but I tried )

I wonder if you are talking about my kids egg. White bunny? (even if you aren't, I live in the wonderful state that has snow one day, and 60f the next day with no snow.. One year, the ground wasnt thawed enough to plant anything until late june/early july!)

My kids did one of the eggs. I havent gotten it yet though. Glad the Spike egg is making people giggle.

I'd like to see a screencap. I cant even think of what item could be seen as blue feather.

there are just the 40 items that are listed in the first page. Blue feather might be a reference to something in the story, but to be fair, I have no idea where the idea where it or a cookie came up. Also yay, the snapped pole was fixed, and I have internet (and power) again. Yay. Edits: I want to extend my personal thanks to everyone who helped get the event to work. Users and staff alike. You guys being on the ball and patient with me, while I tried to find the issues and fixes for them as they came up was such a great learning experience. Thank you guys, for the motivation to take on the daunting task, and the help making it a pleasant experience for everyone.

If there is a cookie, I dont know even about it. lol

because kids are exhausting. And you got to deal with them twice in a row.. or something (because i had a high fever and was lazy.)
