Thanks for the event!! It was stressful, but a lot of fun hahaha! I was able to find a lot of them and then the rest I literally just ctrl clicked through all the threads I thought it might be in from the hints and eventually found them hahaha the sneaky ones would definitely be 5, 9, and 14 for me hahaha I would say #2 I would have never figured out until I stumbled upon it while opening all the threads LOL
 
I was so close with 18, I was sure it was related to the collectable, I tried putting one in my cart and everything. The eggs are so well hidden sometimes~! A couple like 17 and 1 I must've just missed. I thought 11 might be related to Friday 13th but I wasn't around TBT for the doll so *shrug*... I kept thinking of Blanca! 21 was so obviously to do with egg hunts, but I wouldn't have got that in a million years!

Thanks to the staff for such an enjoyable event :)

Such a fun event, pretty sure I did much better than last year.
I think if my brain wasn't fried, I would have tried adding things for the last uestion, though I felt I was on the right track since this was the seventh egg hunt. Can't wait for next year!
 
Justin is cancelled

He also made the best clue, being tasty cake though so like... nice?


Thanks for a good hunt though staff! Congrats again Toad!

Egg #11 said:
On the strange day of long dozen, can anyone tell? A plentiful doppelganger cousin, with a slight misspell.

wow, i am surprised by this one. i had two incorrect guesses: the first one was me thinking that the day of the long dozen related to the twelve days of christmas on tbt. i searched most of that thread and there was nothing. also when it said 'plentiful doppelganger cousin with a slight misspell', i had a really strong feeling that it was redd, because his name is slightly misspelled from the colour 'red' and his catchphrase is 'cousin'.

good job to everybody though! i feel that i have performed well for my first ever egg hunt on here. thanks mods, for tormenting us. :)

except those that already can afford a dreamy egg

ps, do you know if entry+nomination eggs will be bundled together on distribution or nah?

They will be sent separately because it's easier for us that way. However it's likely they will arrive close together.
 
Okay guys we can put down our weapons and go back to our normal day lives now that the war of the egg hunt is over!

I thought it was referring to Friday the 13th the movie... I thought then that as one of the actors in that movie is called Tommy, it was referring to Timmy and Tommy as cousins which would also make sense as a slight misspell.

My other answer was Blanca. In the trivia section of her on AC Wiki it says she often gets confused for Bianca... I think thought maybe the German word meant whatever answer I had would be the German character name... it’s fair to say I didn’t get this question
 
...So Zipper O. Bunny isn't a typo after all?

I would have never found the answer for Egg 11, as I can't remember this whole thing with the
"Wierd dolls"? Egg 9 is also tricky, never thought that this has something to do with a user's ID
and all. And Egg 21 is evil...
 
Thanks for another great Egg Hunt, Staff! I especially want to thank whoever is responsible for the evil Zipper stuff, it's quite fun. Also that Isabelle artwork is adorable.

I managed to find 13 Eggs this year. I was stuck at 3 for the longest time but eventually cracked a few more clues and got 10. I planned to stop there because I thought I had reached the limit of my ability, but then managed to find 3 more. It was stressful but fun and I did better than I thought I would.


The Eggs I Missed

Egg 1) A passionate town meeting to start the calendar.

Never even considered that, but it seems obvious now that it's pointed out. I looked in other places like the forum Calendar, the Valentine's Flower Week thread in The Bulletin Board since it looked like it was the first event of 2019, and I dug through the New Leaf subforum because people tend to restart their games every year. Bummer that I didn't think of this.

---

Egg 3) Original, vintage, seasonal, and... wider?

I never noticed that the Classic Easter Egg was wider than the rest of the eggs. I was never going to get this puzzle.

---

Egg 4) Bop It! Twist It! Pull It!

Despite being a 90's Kid myself and knowing exactly what a Bop-It! is, I didn't think the clue was actually referring to it because I neither noticed that thread while looking nor expected it to be so straightforward. At some point "bop" made me think of the Toy Hammer and I fell into a hole I never managed to crawl out of. A shame, I could have gotten this one.

---

Egg 5) 3 + 6 = 12, good luck!

Didn't really pay attention to what the winning numbers were for the Kaliedoclovers other than the final ones since I won one in that final drawing. As such, the "good luck" didn't click so I didn't even consider this.

---

Egg 9) 42,741 + 85,482 = what about You Found an Egg?

I initially figured it would have something to do with Threads and Posts made in the various subforums, but that quickly fell apart and I never really got much farther on this one. After that, I figured it had something to do with members to some degree but didn't put that together and thus didn't end up trudging around for it.

---

Egg 15) Leaf Tickets: Now at The Bell Tree!

Up until I was writing this post I thought I had found this one, but I had actually found Egg 10. I figured something out but it was by happy accident. I thought of the Leaf Ticket Egg from last year's Egg Hunt and found the Egg in that thread. Thereafter I mentally checked this off the list, sealing my fate. Unfortunately I didn't find this one as a result.

Sidenote on Egg 10 since I thought I was still looking for that one, I had thought Egg 10 had something to do with Joker/Persona since unmasking to achieve your Persona seems to be a theme in Persona 5 and Joker was just released in Super Smash Bros. recently. I also thought it had something to do with Facebook or the What Do You Look Like? thread pinned to the top of the Brewster's Cafe subforum.


---

Egg 19) Watch out, we're going down! Soon all of us will fall into an impossible deep slumber.

I figured this was some sort of video game reference or had something to do with either dreams or death (although that second one was a bit of a stretch). I don't play a great variety of games so figured that it would be some reference I wouldn't get. This led to me guessing stuff like Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (because I know Link sleeps for a century in that) and a thread about the Link's Awakening remake (due to the name, admittedly.) It should probably be obvious from that line of thinking that I've never been big into Zelda so it was an easy trap to fall into. Oh well.

---

Egg 21) There's seven of us so far, but the sum of our parts is so many more.

148?!

Bruh.

I guessed it had something to do with Pok?mon collectibles (Pikachu Egg, Eevee Egg, Togepi Egg, Happy Ditto Egg, Pok? Ball, Love Ball, Moon Ball), forum staff (since I wasn't sure of the exact count of Mods and Admins at the moment and I think there have been former Staff who have since retired), and Egg Hunts (since there have been 7 now, but this made more sense before the clue was updated at 6:00 PM yesterday.)
 
It's finally over! The relief! I thought egg10 was hidden in the what do you look like thread and egg11 was Blanca. You really got me with those 2 haha
Well.. I learnt a lot from my first egg hunt and found 7 eggs which is not THAT bad i guess lol. Probably gonna do better next year!

i managed to find quite a lot of eggs so i'm happy!

however i missed:

1) i went to the right thread but didn't look at the second post :')
3) it makes so much sense but also no
4) i probably never would have got that because i was fixated on 'flick it' and searched far and wide for things about fleas and nintendo switch controllers
5) man i don't even know where i was looking for that one
9) i thought for a minute it would have something to do with post numbers and view numbers of a thread
21) this is annoying because it makes so much sense but i didn't even consider NUMBERS

these are smart!!!! thank you justin, jeremy, tina, laudine and zipper o. for writing them!
 
so, my current egg tallies from past year's egg hunts I participated in up to now

2015: 17/24 (70.8333~%)
2016: 18/25 (72%)
2017: 15/25 (60%)
2018: 11/21 (52.381%)
2019: 16/21 (76.1905%)

nice to see an improvement after the horrible showcasing that was last year's
 
Welp... tried everything for #21 including numbers but that was definitely not what I was thinking.
Also for the Tasty cake hhhhh I went in my inventory so many times and I didn't even think about it... I even clicked configure on some collectibles!
I'm still happy with what I found and I don't think I could've found the other ones which were a bit too TBT for me such as the wierddoll one or the classical egg.

Exactly my train of thoughts... I tried every possible Blanca spellings but heh.
I also tried EVERY single special character from the game hoping I'd get the egg out of luck but turns out it was related to the forum and not the game.
 
Is thought 21 was to do with Username colours, then I thought it meant Staff Members so I tried all the staff names AND all the old staff members names.

Then I found a thread from last year where the 7th challenge of an event where Jake got people to take pictures with Rick the Squirrel. I thought the 7 meant the 7th Challenge, and the many was the "many pictures" of Ricky. So I tried RICKY and like everything to do with him.

Theres so much else I tried, too many sevens
