LDW is proud to announce its first official game. With Easter right around the corner, we thought it would be fun to have an Easter Egg Hunt. The Easter Bunny has hidden several eggs. It is your job to find them.

Eggs could be found in any post created in 2008 in the following forums:

• Off-Topic Discussions
• Contests
• Fan Art
• Fan Fiction
• Plant Tycoon Garden Exposition

This game will start immediately and will finish on March 24, 2008.

To keep this fair for all, we have a few, very simple rules.

• As you are going through the forum and you find an egg, record the post number that you found it in. The post number can be found at the top, right corner of that particular post.
  
  Keep this list to yourself. Do not share locations. After all, you want to be the winner, right?
• If you are not playing the game and you see an egg, please do not tell anybody where it is. No hints, no clues and especially no teams. This is meant to be played as an individual.

At the end of the game, everybody will submit ONE list via Private Message to "E. Bunny". Do not submit a Private Message everytime you find an egg. Only one list per player will be accepted, so wait until the end. Any Private Message marked with a date later than midnight, Pacific Daylight Time, of March 24, 2008 will not be considered. The person(s) who have the most eggs will be declared the winner(s) and will be announced Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Winners will receive the honorary title of Forum Games Elder and a special badge that you can proudly display.

So go out there, have fun, and find those eggs!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Here is what the eggs look like. If you find an egg that is not on this list, do not count it for this game.

OOH we are going to have fun with this one!!!!!!!!

cool, I"m gonna start looking, but what do the eggs look like?

EDIT: NVM, I FOUND ONE

like little Easter eggs of course!!!!!!!
I think

this will be fun, looking forward to it.

I will have a run at it

Alright! I'm an Egg Hunting CHAMP!

*runs off with cute lil blue easter basket*

What's your current score, Mrs. CHAMP? I have 2

Me Too Jazzo!

Nice, you probably have the same two as I do. I've looked very hard.

Same I'm gonna Look till my head hurts and my fingers click on topics no more...

The Hunt is on!
It's off to the start!
Now quickly start looking
with all of your heart!

Though the pace isn't fast,
do you think you will last?
It's a test of endurance,
It may wear you out!

Ah but the prize!
It's magnificent, Yes?
Just who will win it?
Do you think you can guess?

I'd like to keep chatting,
to just ramble on,
but I better start looking,
The Hunt it is on!

Joine and I are getting quite competitive, though we're currently tied.

Too True Jazzo. Remember We've both been through the same amount of Easters so we know what we're doing!

Correct. I now have 7. I wonder which one of mine u don't have.

Me and Jazzo are tied (We can't stay Untied long enough!) again.. I guess we might tie in the end too seeing as were really good..

How many are there? I've found 7 and I've looked absolutely everywhere.

Yeah i counted 12 eggs here (then again i've found the same egg TWICE)

me 2, but maybe not all the eggs are used, and maybe they're not all hidden yet.

Yes i have 12 to

edit 14

I have 11

EDIT: 12

well looks like people already got a head start on me so i'll just sit this one out. good luck to all!

The game still has almost a month to go, and this is only the second day. You have plenty of time to catch up, Jr.

yes that is what i thought it was only the second day hey joine the fun

well i'll see what i can do. but then theres Jazzo who is on the forums like 24/7 he'll be hard to compete with. i've just been snooping around and still havent found one. but i'll keep my eyes peeled.

Hey, I'm losing to Lucas, 14/12, and I can't be on for 16.5 hours a day (school + sleep) so, it's NOT 24/7. And u can't win by just (snooping) you have to tear through thread after thread trying to find them.

i know i go threw every thing been threw it 3 times now but i dont stay on 24 my power has been going out for 1 week now cause they are upgradeing to hd so dont know how long it will be doing this so when i get a connections i am on looking for eggs lol

Lucas found 14? I can only find 13. hmmmm

Ok, I found a lot more. Are you all going to add more as time goes on? Or, are you done hiding them?

I believe up untill march 24 I got????

We are still putting them out there, at least for awhile longer.

I've found 14, too..

Edit: 16 :P

I have found... Let me see... {{Looks in basket}} Zero... I still have zero. HMPH! lol

I found....ummmm....2 (I think)!

I'm still stuck at 10

I have 1... it's sad

Edit: nvm I found a couple more so I'm up to the grand total of 4 lol

24

Post deleted by lucas

Stuck at 12

Ooooo... Oh oh oh... I found one... Top Flight? Darn. It was only a golfball... Oh well. I guess I still have ZERO! LOLOLOL

Alas... one

But Forum Games Elder plus a special badge? I must better search harder.

Can we see the badge, Please, Pretty Please?

i have 27

How many hours difference between Pacific Daylight Time and Greenwich Time in Great Britain?? .... I need all the time I can get!!

8

Must be more - here in France we are 6 hours ahead of New York - what is difference between New York and Calif??

3 hours

At the time you posted, it was 07:34 AM on Friday 3/1/08 here in California.

Oh, now it is easy to figure - thanks so much - are you still Laying eggs??

WORLDCLOCK

     

Yes, I am still clucking like a chicken . Now why couldn't I be the goose that laid the golden egg?

Heh! I like that world clock!!! I put it in my Favs to refer to next time - thanks a dozen! Is that egg on my face...?

When are you going to stop laying?

Who knows? Definitely before the game ends.

Surely you didn't think we would make this TOO easy on you? If we did, it wouldn't be any fun!

Sounds Fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats true Im up to 22 Good Luck to everyone

This is such an excellent idea of the moderators and administrators.

I want to wish all contestants good luck and may the best searcher win!

Well this is interesting. I just found this thread now I am annoying myself trying to find them. Any hint on how many there are?

IDK, I have 23, but I know people have more than that.

WEll, I found several more and in the meantime I have certainly read a lot more of posts and lots of FanFiction that I had never taken the time to read!! - Some excellent stories there all! Just be sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket - back up your list - It would be a shame to loose your list March 24th just before you were to e-mail the "bunny" with your results.

I work all week so I won't have much time to play the game only on mondays as it's my day off. Good luck to the rest of you

I have only found 5.... QUESTION???????? i am confused is it on any thread started in 2008 or anything posted in 2008?

"any post created in 2008" means the post, not the thread. Another way to say it would be any post that was made in 2008, regardless of when the thread (topic) was created.

sorry nother ? for u.... does that mean we can look outside of the topics posted or are they still only in those 5 topics?

The 5 forums listed above are the only forums you will find eggs in. Each of those forums have numerous treads. Each of those threads has numerous posts.

So, under the 5 forums listed, you can go to any thread in those forums that have posts made in it during 2008 and you have the possiblility of finding one or more eggs there.

Thank You! Sorry for being such a dork to you guys!

WOOHOO now that my eyes are killing me I can happily report I have found 25. And I really have to take a break before my eyes go on strike!! Haha Thank You guys that was fun!

yes it does make ur eyes go crazy lol

As Monday 24th is the last day then you can hunt for eggs all at once and still submit you findings!!!

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

It has come to our attention that E. Bunny has mistakenly hidden eggs in posts that were not made in 2008. It seems the best thing to do is to remove these eggs from play. This will make things less confusing and once again make it fair for everyone. We are sorry this has happened and greater care will be taken in the future to make sure eggs are hidden in the correct date range.

If you have these post numbers in your list, please remove them.

• 819
• 115237
• 114419
• 120275

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

wow i only had one of those! ty for telling us!!!

well me that means i only have 24

i'm very confused... help??

what ya need I'll help if i can but I'm just figuring it all out myself

i found one!!! yay!!!

But, but,... 115237 on my computer was posted on 01-01-08 -so it is good, NO??

But, I guess not now, since everyone knows about it... sigh (scratches number off list )

That particular post number was where the egg had been moved once it was discovered in the wrong area. It just seemed best to get rid of all mistakes including the relocated eggs.

Gamey & Eyeshigh give us some more eggs please lol

E. Bunny assures me that there will be an egg delivery soon.

Okay been waiting lol thanks Eyeshigh

What? You think you have found them all? That's rather presumptuous of you. LOLOLOL JUST KIDDING!

I will work on it soon too. Fear not my fair Lady, for Gameyous Caesar is here!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL {{SNORT}} LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Snort?!?!?!? Bunnies don't snort!

Maybe he is a wolf in sheep....ummm....I mean Rabbit clothing?

Well not to brag but I have checked the forums in one day 4 times and then not by my doing I had to restart all over. My Hubby threw away my list lol. (Snort) again lol j/j. okay then here is my count 30+ am i close lol

Well maybe I am not a wolf but a pug in bunny pajamas. LOL

ucky!

Aww. come on... Pugs are so cute with their smashed, snorty noses and how adorable would it be to dress him up in bunny pajamas.

LOL. They are cute. We have two of the. And that is just how I imagined you looked! {VI ducks the right hook}

30??? grr i have only found 24

Apparently this particular species, the Gameyous species, does snort.

that looks like the bunny from the battery comercial. lol

Also known, VI Jr, as the Energizer Bunny! LOL

thats what i thought. i couldnt think of it off the top of my head!

The Easter egg hunt is coming to a close real soon. After a bit of discussion and deliberation, we feel the best thing to do about the eggs that were in the Off-Topic Forum is to not count them. We appologize for the inconvenience but this was the only way we could make it fair for all people.

We will still be hiding more eggs so keep a sharp eye out. They can pop up just about anytime.

Well I hate to ask this: but are you going to post the ones that where on the OTD cause we were told to wright down the post number not the Topic's well just thought I might ask this question Sorry moderators hope no one is mad

Actually, that sounds like a good idea lucas.

Would any of the moderators kindly do that please, but only if you have some time to do it? I think some of us would greatly appreciate it, especially if we simply wrote down the post numbers and not what category we found them in.

Thanks moderators for your time with this game!

Yes cause I stoped wrighting down the forum I found them in and just wrote down the post # Thanks alot for you alls time

I will compose a list as soon as I can. I know mine were:
120768
118273
115473
120371
When I find out what the rest were I will post them here too.

Thanks alot Gamey

Thanks Gamey, and I had all of those too

Thanks Gamey for adding this. You're awesome!

I am pleased to say that no other eggs (at least no others that I have) besides the ones Gamey listed are in Off-Topic Discussions. I checked them all.

To the Moderators did you mean midnight, as in the beginning of the 24th or did you mean midnight, as in the beginning of the 25th? To have our list in. cause didnt want to miss the dead line. Thanks alot for your help

The game ends at midnight tonight, Pacific Daylight Time. The rules for this game say that, "Any Private Message marked with a date later than midnight, Pacific Daylight Time, of March 24, 2008 will not be considered." If you want to know exactly what time your PM will be sent, click on My Stuff, My Preferences and scroll down. Near the bottom, right above "Hide from Who's Online?" you will find a line that says, "Current server time is:" followed by the exact server time. It's that time that will be stamped on your PM.

Can you tell us if anymore eggs will be hidden today?

I had to atleast ask

thanks alot Lady

I hope not because I already submitted mine. Just assumed that they wouldn't hide any more on the day it ends.

Yeh that would not be good if they did may be some one will answer the post

Just curious when will the winner be announced?

Read the first post in this thread.. "The winners will be announced on April 1st 2008."

That stinks, it doesn't take that long to calculate the winner. Can't they announce it sooner?

Patience... they may announce it sooner but it depends on a lot of factors...

First, I'm sure that they have to double-check all of the post numbers (including double-checking that there were no other mistakes on the part of the Easter Bunny), secondly, we don't know exactly how many forumers participated in the egg hunt so there could be quite a few PMs for E. Bunny to browse through and finally, we must keep in mind that both moderators and all three of the admins have lives outside of the forums...

Duh, my bad, I should have reread it before I posted....Happy counting!!!!

1... 2... 3... uh 4... ummmm.... 5 ARGH! I lost count. 1... 2... 3...

Well there you go, the real reason it's going to take a week for the winners to be announced...

I was doing fine in my list when SOMEBODY deleted it. I can't find it now. Well, I guess its too late anyway. I had about 23 eggs. Darn it.

XXXXXXXXXXXX
The Easter Egg Hunt is over and a winner has been declared. We would like to announce Lucas as the winner of our first LDW sponsored game. We would like to thank all of you who participated.

As Lucas is the declared winner, she gets to display the official LDW Games Badge. This game badge is for the winners of our games only. Anyone found to be using this badge in any way will meet serious consequences up to, but not limited to, account suspension for a full 7 days. Please help us to keep the Games Forum fun and allow the winners the right to display their badge. They worked hard for it.

Thank you for your cooperation and once again, congratulations to Lucas.

Bravo Lucas!!!

Hum... how many eggs were hidden and found?

Thanks I am lost for words i got 42

Congrats, Lucas!!
Is there a list of who found how many eggs?
I found 39, I think.

Congradulations Lucas! That's a mighty shiny trophy but the E Bunny should have filled it with your eggs!!LoL!

That would of been cool like ur idea but I am happy with what I got

WTG

Yeah, WTG

So, are we going to have another game any time soon?? HMMMM??? lol, jk

this is the FORUM GAMES. but where are the games?

Only just got around to checking this today.

CONGRATS LUCAS!!! WTG!! Nice trophy

Marcey

I just noticed day that the trophy and title that Lucas won are gone?!? What happened?

the bragging rights to a Forum Game are only good for a month. We ahould probably start up a new game before too long since vv3 is getting towards the end.

I just noticed it to. Well it is okay you all never stated that in rhe first part. That should of been told right off hand.

do we you have any ideas for a new game gamey?

Well, I have an idea. How about, since VV3 is out, we can use some of their collectibles.That would be awesome

well, does it have to be a contest. I wonder if it can be something simple, like the vending machine.

Or the now locked Smiley war .

i wish i was around for this contest

Me too. Before I joined, when I was checking out the forum, I was looking for eggs. Even though I couldn't PM it to the Bunny.

PS: We shall we have a new game/contest? Just curious, I know you all have other things to do.

Man, this contest looked fun. Wish I was there to play!

I guess it's too late for another Easter egg hunt, but another contest would be spectacular!

Wow, that looked like fun. Could you have one next year?
