Hints delay...Happy Easter
Happy Easter everyone, my deepest apologies but holiday preparations here have kept me from managing to be able to actively hunt down the objects and gather hints. Once family here leaves tomorrow late afternoon/early evening I expect to be back on my normal routine and get you all hints, until then please know there are 6 starting points in the hunter information notecard and feel free to drop me a notecard in world if a particular location is in dire need of a hint and I will see to checking those locations first.
Happy Hunting,
Rox
Happy Hunting,

Final Preparations
Hello everyone,
We are in the final stages of preparing this hunt for all of the hunters, a few more shops still to get set up fully, and I have to say the gifts that I have seen are amazing. I am so very excited about this hunt. The theme is a very wide range idea that includes Earth day, general celebration of our planet, and even includes celebrating earth gods/goddesses of any culture! The gifts that I have seen so far truly reflect that wide range of possibilities with the theme. We have everything from Skin to jewelry and furniture to homes and even some beautiful garden locations.
Before we get into the rush of hunting I want to first thank every vendor who has signed up and is participating in this hunt for all their hard work on the beautiful gifts. This hunt is going to be truly unique and very cool!
To our hunters: Hints will arrive here within 48 hours of the hunt start! (Those who provided hints to me will likely be ready by hunt start and posted then or shortly after and I will fill in the rest of the blanks as soon as I can). You can get help through the Silver & Gold Hunt Hunters Group or the Associated Gridwide Hunters Group. I will be monitoring and providing hints to both. This will be the last hunt I use the Silver & Gold Hunt Hunters Group. As I am now an Associated Hunt Vendors Group hunt organizer I will be using the Associated Gridwide Hunters Group for all future hunts. Those who wish to stay and follow my hunts please join that group. It will be providing help for all hunt organizers who have been accepted to that role in the AHVG so will also help with a large number of other hunts.
AND a bit of looking forward.... this is my third hunt, I am so glad they have all gone so well and am looking forward to continuing to organize hunts. I am looking at the next hunt to be something fun and silly or maybe a little insane but it will be in July!

Gearing Up... Vendors please take note!
Hi everyone, I want to be sure that for anyone who has received a vendor welcome pack gets the pertinent information. Please be sure that you have accepted an invite to the Silver & Gold Hunt Vendors Group either on your main account, an alt account, or in the case of multiple partners at least one partner in your business has joined this group. I have approximately 10 vendors who have not accepted the group invitations. Either you did not receive them or you did not accept them. Group membership is required by at least one avatar per business as that is our main form of communication. I will not update this blog with all the information that I send to vendors. If you do not have this group on any avatar please contact me (Rox Arten) via notecard (my IM's cap within an hour of my logging out most days the chances of my missing an IM are very high) to request another invite be sent. Please specify which avatar name you need invited as some of you have only one and others listed multiple avatars. This will save me some steps in getting these final invites out. I will double check that all shops have one avatar at least in the group as I do my prehunt walkthrough. All communication about the status of all shops after the setup walk through, prehunt walk through, and the run of the hunt path I will do just after it starts will be communicated via the group notices. the hunt has expanded and I have taken more applications, this is a popular theme and I decided that unless we hit the point that we are at the 160 that my first hunt had I am positive that I can manage the hunt.
I will be doing the pre setup walkthrough later this week or early next week, at that time I will be checking that everyone has their sign out, the landmarks are still correct (or corrections have been sent in some cases), and checking which sims are adult to note that for the hunt objects. I do this to ensure that all shops that are numbered in the order have intent to participate and I have the current landmarks for the hunt objects.
Following that I will be stuffing the hunt objects with landmarks (and in the cases of adult sims the ones before them will have a notecard included for anyone who is not verified to be able to skip that location and continue on).
The hunt objects will be sent out with the LM in it, already set to sell contents for L$0, you will need to simply rez them by your sign when you get them to prepare for the prehunt walk through. You will also at that time receive a hunter information sign that will replace the current sign. The prehunt walkthrough I will be checking that signs are changed and hunt objects are out. PLEASE DO NOT uncheck the for sale for this walk through (you may choose to place a notecard in the object saying come back when the hunt starts if you wish), I am also doing this to ensure I have not made any mistakes with landmarks (I am human and I do make mistakes from time to time).
ALL locations that are not ready for the walk through (which I will announce that I will be starting in group) and do not fix their location so that I can check it by April 1st will be replaced. I understand RL comes first but please remember that the rules were clear before you applied and that your welcome pack informed you of this fact. This is done to ensure the hunt path remains unbroken for our hunters and for the other vendors. There are over 100 vendors counting on me to ensure this hunt goes smoothly and for the sake of the rest of them those who do not get set up must be removed.
Lastly, I have had the great fortune to have seen a few of the gifts already, I am very excited by the variety we have for this hunt and can't wait to see what everyone has come up with! We have almost every kind of vendor in this hunt! It's going to be great.... so if your not in the group let me know, and please be sure to watch notices, we have 2 1/2 weeks left before the hunt starts!

Applications Update... limit increased to 100 shops max!
Thank you everyone who has applied to take part in the Celebrating Gaia Hunt... the response has been overwhelming. We reached our goal of 75 shops and the applications have kept coming... after talking with some of the vendors who are in the current Welcoming the Tiger hunt and also in the Celebrating Gaia hunt and considering the response and amount of time needed the increase in shops will mean for me I have decided to increase the limit to 100 shops. This means I have approximately 8 spots left (based on the number of applications I have to process providing I don't have to reject any applications that do not fit the hunt guidelines and rules).
So if you had not sent an application in and are interested do it soon. Any applications received after the 100 limit will be notified that they will be placed on the reserve list to fill any spaces that have to be filled due to shops closing or having to be pulled for not following rules and getting set up.
I will be processing the recent applications over the next few days. They have piled up a bit due to the Welcoming the Tiger Hunt start and getting that going and running smoothly but if you have not heard from me by Wednesday I have not received your application.
Happy Creating!
Rox Arten,
Celebrating Gaia Hunt Organizer

We are now at 50 applications out of 75. I will be sending posters out this weekend and inviting anyone who is not already in the Silver & Gold Vendor group to the group early next week. The hunt is almost full if you want in on this one please get your applications in soon. Those received over the 75 will be given option to remain on a waiting list to fill in spaces if needed however I will not be adding to the 75 stops in this hunt lineup past that number.

Hunt Rules/Guidelines and Application Information
Hunt Guidelines and Rules:
*NOTE: I am looking for vendors who take making a commitment seriously. I completely understand that real life comes first and that sometimes things happen and I am absolutely sympathetic to that fact. However, in all things I will protect the hunt chain and the interest of the other vendors where needed. If you can not be set up on time and do not reply to the requests to correct if needed, please understand that it is not personal that I will for the interest of the rest of the hunt vendors remove those stores who don’t get set up and replace them. *
1. Only original creators no resellers (this includes authorized resellers or BIB items), clubs, rentals, or copyrighted materials (such as art taken from the web, duplication of another’s work by any means, or any such non original work) if it's not your own original work then please don't apply. Obviously use of purchased textures, scripts, templates, and sculpties is fine as those items are sold to content creators for use in their work. If you have a few authorized reseller vendors I won’t disqualify you, that is different then a shop who is selling mostly or entirely non original content.
2. One location per store and one store per person please. I will be limiting this hunt to 75 stops max please give others opportunity to join us. You may include gifts from multiple stores in one package if you wish to promote these other businesses. (If you wish to place a second location or additional shop on the reserve list for filling in any spots last minute that we might have to fill then please add that to the bottom of your application including a LM)
3. You will receive an invitation to the hunt vendors group upon acceptance of your application; you must remain in the vendor group. I understand group slots are limited but it is important to be able to communicate with the vendors effectively and this is the best option for that.
4. Gifts may be anything you wish to create, or if you prefer an item from your stock but please no freebies repackaged. This only annoys hunters to work to find the hunt item and then open it to find only stuff they could have gotten as a freebie without hunting. Also remember that if you give an item that isn’t up to the quality of what you sell or doesn’t somehow show what your items are then you hurt yourself.
5. Please try to build something that at least loosely fits the theme, the theme has a wide range of ways to build for it even loosely. I won’t force you to build for the theme, I’m not inspecting gifts. But it’s an opportunity to think outside the box if you don’t already have items along the line of the theme or expand on what you do have if you do.
6. If possible including a male item or unisex item is encouraged but not required.
7. Object must be no more then 30 meters from the point at which the hunters land. If your location is in a mall or location with centralized teleporting you will need to be able to put up a sign pointing them to your store. Please check with Mall/Market/Rental managers that you can do this. I won’t come around measuring these, unless I get complaints that it’s half a mile away. Please use your best judgment. In the Silver & Gold hunt my own object was further away but then it was also a 50m bell.
8. The hunt object may be hidden however you see fit, however, it may not be hidden so that it is enclosed fully in another object, only a tiny bit of it shows, or is otherwise nearly impossible to locate.
9. The hunt object must be set to sell contents NOT a copy (which gives the hunters a folder rather then making them have to rez a box) and will be set to L$0 and no more!
10. Your gifts must be boxed/bagged before placing them in the hunt object. The folder given to the hunter should only contain 2 items, the landmark to the next location and your gift package!
11. The Hunt Signs. Upon acceptance you will receive an application sign, once all spots are filled or we reach the application deadline a prehunt sign will be sent out, and just before the hunt a final hunt info sign will be sent out. You will need to have a sign out from the time you are accepted to the time the hunt ends. I expect within 48 hours of sending the new sign (barring rl keeping you from logging on in that time) you will have the sign replaced with the new one.
12. If your shop moves or you drop out of the hunt for any reason you must notify an organizer so that we can keep the chain from being broken which only hurts other vendors in the hunt. If possible a day's notice would help to ensure we can replace the lm in the previous box. I do understand that sometimes even the vendor does not know in advance that the location is going to be suddenly relocated or vanish. If you move the shop on the same lot and are not using forced landing points it is also important you notify me with a corrected LM, if the hunters land 100m away and as many do have their draw distance set low to help with lag from hunting they may not even see your shop if it’s moved.
13. You must have both the sign and the hunt object, set to sell for 0 out for the walk through. I have to be able to check the LM’s in them to ensure one last time just before the hunt that every LM sent out is correct and working properly. You do NOT have to have the gift included, you can just leave it with the lm or place a notecard saying that the hunt starts soon come back then in it. I will be checking that you have the hunt info sign and the lm in your hunt object works properly.
14. You must have your hunt gift placed in the object and hidden by midnight for the hunt start. I will most likely start the hunt at my shop at midnight and work through the entire chain until it’s completed just after the start to ensure that all is working properly and to gather hints where needed.
15. I do not see this as 'my hunt' I am the organizer, the one who chose to organize and 'run' the hunt, however, this is everyparticipating vendor's hunt. I will if changes are made or needed ask for input in the group. I will however make the choice that seems to be both majority opinion and best for the majority of those involved. Please treat me with respect as I will always treat you with respect.
Thank you for reading this, I have tried to keep the rules simple, if others are deemed nessecary later on I will then add them. Please know that I greatly appreciate your work in preparing your shop location and creating a wonderful gift for our hunters and thank you for placing your trust in my ability to pull this hunt off smoothly and without drama or other issues along the way. Please know, if there is any issue or question you can IM me at any time, I will respond as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Rox Arten

Application Instructions:
*NOTE: Read the instructions carefully, those who do not follow them will be omitted from this hunt as it is important that the hunt vendors can read and follow instructions*

Example: Celebrating Gaia Secrets of Gaia Rox Arten
2 Copy the following to the notecard and fill in the information. I am asking for both landmark (to include in hunt boxes) and SLURL (just in case sl glitches and wipes the landmark).
Shop Name:
Your Name:
Alternate contact or partner (if any):
Landmark:
SLURL:
Have you read the rules and guidelines, and agree to abide by them?

Upon acceptance you will receive an application sign, once all spots are filled or we reach the application deadline a prehunt sign will be sent out, and just before the hunt a final hunt info sign will be sent out. You will need to have a sign out from the time you are accepted to the time the hunt ends. I expect within 48 hours of sending the new sign (barring rl keeping you from logging on in that time) you will have the sign replaced with the new one.
12. If your shop moves or you drop out of the hunt for any reason you must notify an organizer so that we can keep the chain from being broken which only hurts other vendors in the hunt. If possible a day's notice would help to ensure we can replace the lm in the previous box. I do understand that sometimes even the vendor does not know in advance that the location is going to be suddenly relocated or vanish. If you move the shop on the same lot and are not using forced landing points it is also important you notify me with a corrected LM, if the hunters land 100m away and as many do have their draw distance set low to help with lag from hunting they may not even see your shop if it’s moved.
13. You must have both the sign and the hunt object, set to sell for 0 out for the walk through. I have to be able to check the LM’s in them to ensure one last time just before the hunt that every LM sent out is correct and working properly. You do NOT have to have the gift included, you can just leave it with the lm or place a notecard saying that the hunt starts soon come back then in it. I will be checking that you have the hunt info sign and the lm in your hunt object works properly.
14. You must have your hunt gift placed in the object and hidden by midnight for the hunt start. I will most likely start the hunt at my shop at midnight and work through the entire chain until it’s completed just after the start to ensure that all is working properly and to gather hints where needed.
15. I do not see this as 'my hunt' I am the organizer, the one who chose to organize and 'run' the hunt, however, this is everyparticipating vendor's hunt. I will if changes are made or needed ask for input in the group. I will however make the choice that seems to be both majority opinion and best for the majority of those involved. Please treat me with respect as I will always treat you with respect.
Thank you for reading this, I have tried to keep the rules simple, if others are deemed nessecary later on I will then add them. Please know that I greatly appreciate your work in preparing your shop location and creating a wonderful gift for our hunters and thank you for placing your trust in my ability to pull this hunt off smoothly and without drama or other issues along the way. Please know, if there is any issue or question you can IM me at any time, I will respond as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Rox Arten

Getting Going
Secrets of Gaia presents:
Celebrating Gaia! (A grid wide earth day celebration hunt)
April 2nd, 2010 through May 3th, 2010.
Application Deadline March 12, 2010!
Hunt limit: 75 Vendors and will be ordered in the order applications are received.
A bit about our theme:
This hunt is to celebrate earth day and the planet we all call home. For those not aware Gaia is the Greek name used to refer to mother earth (there are more then 25 names for her in various cultures), some call her goddess but she was much more then that, she is the earth itself. So, for this hunt you can go more mainstream with your gifts and lean toward earth day celebrations or get more into the mythological side of it. I want to leave things open both for the ability to reach a wider audience and for the ability for each vendor to express themselves creatively however they see fit. I am including resources that range from earth day to Greek mythology simply to help everyone out and allow you to see the wide range of options this theme has to offer.
