TBT's Tenth Annual Easter Egg Hunt

[Newbiemayor]

I finally found the community egg, Egg #2!! It's in Find threads > watched threads >Manage watched threads

Not me looking at the "currently playing" thread

 

[CometCatcher]

Wait so in minutes flat the bonus for being one of the 100 or less people to find an egg is gone? Already a hundred people got eggs?

I was wondering this too—wow, people are fast!

 

[LambdaDelta]

so outside of the puzzle I still haven't submitted for (and we won't know if it's right until later anyways), this first batch was surprisingly simple

though if there's anything I've learned from egg hunts in the past, it's to not trust upcoming egg hunt clues in the slightest

not to be contrarian but i just noticed: "Misspellings will not be accepted, but certain translations and similar variations may be accepted."

why no misspellings? so if i were to submit, for example, "comission" and the answer was "commission" that wouldn't be accepted? that feels a bit strict to me. unless that's supposed to be what similar variations means.

I found one of the solo eggs finally! I submitted my guess for the puzzle; I want to say I am confident but seeing how things easily go over my head, i don’t know if I should be .

I summited my answer for the puzzle clue way too early, that was probably a bad idea but maybe hesitating is a bad idea...

 

[King Dorado]

BEHOLD!!!

I am the very first to purchase a 2022 egg from shop!

[Megaroni]

Really confused with the eggs, if anyone wants to put our heads together and team with me just let me know

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

Why are there so many posts in this thread, I'm trying to read them all as fast as I can.

who else is on the struggle bus right now i need some solidarity

I shall bestow upon you my solidarity. (whatever that means)
In other words, I'm a total doofus.

I finally found the community egg, Egg #2!! It's in Find threads > watched threads >Manage watched threads

Thanks much, I shall check that out ASAP! :]

the chart says it doesn't apply to community clues

Yes I know but the first egg I found was a solo clue all by myself then I found the other solo because someone gave me the answer and I got the community one cause someone else gave me the answer

No, the bonus is only if 100 people or less find a certain egg. So for example, if only 99 people found Egg 1, then those 99 people would get an extra currency egg. But if 101 people found Egg 1, then none of those people would get an extra currency egg. There's no way to tell if people will get that bonus or not for any given egg until the event is over. The only reason community eggs don't get that bonus is because the staff are trying to encourage people to actually work together publicly on those eggs, so it doesn't make sense to have that bonus apply to them as otherwise people wouldn't work together in public.

Thanks for sharing this. It took me 2 tries to figure out after looking at what you put but then I had that “OHHHH!” moment.

Ohhh I get it! So perhaps I might have got a bonus but I don't get to see until the event is over?

 

[BetsySundrop]

yeah, one of my other thoughts was yarn because of "unravel", so i went to the voting and winners for the quilt patch contest last christmas and then also tried (and failed, since i think it's archived) to find the sheep voting thing from the fair.

I was also looking into the christmas quilt threads! Lol

 

[~Kilza~]

Correct. The OP does state that the bonuses will be distributed after the event ends, so don't worry about it until then:

Bonuses will allow you to receive extra currency and, if you're this year's lucky egg hunt winner, the Golden Easter Egg. These will be distributed after the event ends:

3/3 eggs found, and puzzle guess submitted!! now to spend the rest of my night trying to figure out what order to buy the eggs in. lineups are hard lol.

if anyone needs help with eggs #1 or #3, feel free to message me! otherwise, see you all tomorrow at 10am for batch #2. <3

 

[xSuperMario64x]

My thought process was totally stuck on yarn, and then I went "but I just can't find the thread... OH"

i literally would've never gotten that lol I feel like a dummy

@~Kilza~ hit the nail on the head with his explanation. We won't be calculating how many of each egg was redeemed until the very end of the event. It's not related to the fastest 100 people to find it, but rather how many find it in total.

not to be contrarian but i just noticed: "Misspellings will not be accepted, but certain translations and similar variations may be accepted."

why no misspellings? so if i were to submit, for example, "comission" and the answer was "commission" that wouldn't be accepted? that feels a bit strict to me. unless that's supposed to be what similar variations means.

This is correct: misspellings will not be accepted. Variations might refer to something like the difference between a singular or a plural ("collectible" vs "collectibles") or a regional difference ("favorite" vs "favourite"). The answer is still technically correct in both of these instances. A word spelled incorrectly is technically incorrect, so will not be accepted. If you're unsure of the spelling of the word you are submitting please take the time to Google it to verify. I often just write "[word] definition" and hit enter when I'm unsure on the spelling or meaning of a word.

What is the redeem code thing for? The eggs I got had codes I tried to enter one but it said it was invalid or expired maybe I'm too late or made a typo, haven't tried the other ones yet. I was just wondering what it's for.
