greyrules78 , June 5, 2013 7:49 PM NST I always start them but never finish... Maybe I'll finish this year. Should I? I feel a little dread seep in my bones from reading dave's post to whateveritsmolly.

pikasuno , June 5, 2013 7:55 PM NST

Missed opportunity on my part hahaha A+Missed opportunity on my part hahaha

meercatristonhopets3 , June 5, 2013 8:14 PM NST I never completed a JN Negg Hunt before, that's just way too difficult for me lol

icynow , June 5, 2013 8:20 PM NST why couldn't it have started the 14th! This is so unfair I have a huge final the 13th! I can't participate!

dave - JN Staff , June 5, 2013 8:26 PM NST @icynow You're in luck! We'll be running the Negg Hunt for 11 days, until the 17th or 18th (depending on when we release on Friday).

dave - JN Staff , June 5, 2013 8:26 PM NST We also may have toned down the difficulty for some parts... so we'll see how well you all do this year compared to years past. @meercatristonhopets3 There will be hints galore this year.We also may have toned down the difficulty for some parts... so we'll see how well you all do this year compared to years past.

kreyrie , June 5, 2013 8:31 PM NST Maybe this year I'll finally finish one. I'm so excited for this.Maybe this year I'll finally finish one.

stories2btold , June 5, 2013 9:13 PM NST If it isn't planned by TNT, without a doubt it will be awesome.

marfbear , June 5, 2013 9:36 PM NST I'm so happy, although I probably won't get to start on it until after sundown on Saturday (depending on when it's released on Friday). Of course I never play on Sabbath, so that's no different than any year. I just hope you haven't made it too easy...

idriya , June 5, 2013 10:17 PM NST This will probably be better than anything TNT comes out with all year. :/ Which is sad.

idriya , June 5, 2013 10:18 PM NST No offense to the people who worked on this, of course.

kic24 , June 5, 2013 10:55 PM NST Yeah, JN negg hunt

The struggle is integral to the enjoyment!...wait, this Friday? Seriously? That's my wisdom teeth removal. I'm gonna be laid out for the weekend. NOOOOOOOOO

flairina , June 6, 2013 4:20 AM NST ...It will last longer than three days though, right? So I might still have the chance to catch up? *prays*

flairina , June 6, 2013 5:36 AM NST Okay, so it lasts eleven days... though that doesn't mean anything about how early you can finish. So hopefully the final neggs won't be out until the middle of the week so I'll have time to catch up.



Yeah, really Dave. Rude.

stellarka , June 6, 2013 6:56 AM NST



On the other hand, I'm super excited! I've been waiting all year for this, even if it is going to be a bit easier than last year (it was pretty tricky, but it being harder than any Neo plot, plus no guide/walkthrough, is half of the attraction). Nuu! I can't start until Monday when my boyfriend leaves... Also, exams starting on the 17th...On the other hand, I'm super excited! I've been waiting all year for this, even if it is going to be a bit easier than last year (it was pretty tricky, but it being harder than any Neo plot, plus no guide/walkthrough, is half of the attraction).

rolerol , June 6, 2013 11:35 AM NST John,

I just couldn't get onto neo even tho I had my correct password. I outspammed it and I have 20 mins left to wait.

I changed my PW just in case.

Feels sinister ;_;

skylar - JN Staff , June 6, 2013 1:05 PM NST A lot of Neopians were having that problem, including myself. It seems to be fixed now.

kreyrie , June 6, 2013 1:07 PM NST But all is well in the animal kingdom. Yeah, I was so worried that my accounts were hacked!But all is well in the animal kingdom.

diana , June 6, 2013 1:14 PM NST I have a final the 11th and then 4 finals between the 18th and 19th. I guess I'll Negg Hunt instead of study and hope it sharpens my brain.

alabamasax , June 6, 2013 2:20 PM NST *happydance* Yay! About time! I've been pulling my hairs out one by one as I awaited the return of the Negg Hunt.

superphuntime , June 6, 2013 3:45 PM NST This will be a good workout... for my brain.

duskitty , June 6, 2013 4:02 PM NST Ooh! I've never done one of these before so I'm excited

Best event of the year though, I can't wait! Not in the middle of the AC please!!! School, AC and Negg hunt are way too much!Best event of the year though, I can't wait!

tomatereloco , June 6, 2013 6:37 PM NST Yet, I'm quite frustrated that I have my most difficult exam the next friday, so I won't be able to do much. I have almost decided that I will have to study less this time, and pray more to God... OMG, I have just had tachycardia! I just love this event!Yet, I'm quite frustrated that I have my most difficult exam the next friday, so I won't be able to do much.I have almost decided that I will have to study less this time, and pray more to God...

haybales , June 6, 2013 9:43 PM NST

The neggs looked amazing though! This will be my first one, but *looks at all the 2012 answers* OH...MY...GOSH!The neggs looked amazing though!

kittygrrl23 , June 6, 2013 9:43 PM NST @JN staff - thank you, thank you, thank you. The negg hunt is just the distraction I need right now (not to get too into it, but I just lost my dad).

agent_711 , June 6, 2013 9:45 PM NST



*happy dance*



Like the preset KQ words...*happy dance*

dreww355 , June 6, 2013 9:48 PM NST YEAH! I think a summer negg hunt is even better than an easter negg hunt (even if it does conflict with the AC).

shopey4291 , June 6, 2013 10:26 PM NST Can't we just start it this morning??? Ahhh!! I'm so stinking excited! I hate the negg hunt because of how hard it is but i also love it! It's the thing i look forward to most when it comes to things involving neopets and you guys aren't even neopets!! lol i don't want to wait until tonight thoughCan't we just start it this morning???

britneyr , June 6, 2013 10:28 PM NST My favorite time of year!! Negg Hunt time! Does the fact that it's going to last 11 days mean those of us who need a bit more time will have a chance to catch up?

train23_1 , June 6, 2013 11:48 PM NST yay! It's finally here, I have little schoolwork AND it's the Queen's Birthday long weekend! Guess I won't start my English assignment tomorrow...

*awkward because it's already Friday evening where I am*

judyjellyneo , June 7, 2013 12:15 AM NST looks like a lot of people are neggcited for this event huehuehue

sweep_the_doghouse , June 7, 2013 12:27 AM NST

Usually they don't release everything at once, so if this year is the same as previous years, they will release some things later today, but not everything... then gradually release the rest over the coming week. Once the last part has been released there is usually still quite a few days to finish it off.



So if that's the case again this year, yes you will have time to catch up Or (for some people) time to sit around impatiently waiting for more puzzles to become available Does the fact that it's going to last 11 days mean those of us who need a bit more time will have a chance to catch up?---Usually they don't release everything at once, so if this year is the same as previous years, they will release some things later today, but not everything... then gradually release the rest over the coming week.

train23_1 , June 7, 2013 12:35 AM NST

So THANKS!!! However the hunt turns out, just a HUGE THANK YOU to the JN staff, who spent their time in creating this amazing event... it's literally one of the highlights of my year, ever since 2011So THANKS!!!

sylviamcc , June 7, 2013 8:17 AM NST Why are you doing this to us during Altador Cup??? I'm going to sit here and Negg hunt all day and fall behind on Yooyuball!

marfbear , June 7, 2013 10:14 AM NST In my opinion the Altador Cup has been going downhill since ACV, but the Negg Hunt just keeps getting better and better. My favorite event of the Neo year.

xvickydoll , June 7, 2013 10:19 AM NST ...now we play the waiting game

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 7, 2013 2:32 PM NST I'm sat here impatiently and constantly refreshing - come on lets see some grass!!

elbandito999 , June 7, 2013 3:17 PM NST While everyone's waiting - i wrote a pome.

(well, sort of... apologies to Walter de la Mare and all that...)



�Is there any Negg there?� said the Negghunter,

Knocking on the portal door;

And his mouse in the silence clicked on the grasses

Till his mouse could click no more.

Then a herring flew up out of the grasses,

Above the Negghunter�s head:

And he smote upon the portal door a second time;

�Is there any Negg there?� he said.

But no one answered the Negghunter;

No Negg from the leaf-fringed sill

Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,

Where he stood perplexed and still.

But only a host of JN Staff

That dwelt in the Staff Lounge then

Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight

To that voice from the world of men:

Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,

That goes down to the empty hall,

Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken

By the lonely Negghunter�s call.

And he felt in his hea

elbandito999 , June 7, 2013 3:17 PM NST And he felt in his heart their strangeness,

Their stillness answering his cry,

While his mouse still moved, searching the site,

�Neath the starred and leafy sky;

For he suddenly smote on the door, even

Louder, and lifted his head:�

�Tell them I searched, and yet found nothing,

But I�ll keep on searching,� he said.

Never the least stir made the JN Staff,

Though every word he spake

Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the Staff Lounge

From the one hunter left awake:

Ay, they heard his fingers on the keyboard,

And the sound of mouse on pad,

And how the silence surged softly backward,

As the hunter went slowly mad.

flairina , June 7, 2013 4:14 PM NST



My wisdom teeth are out and my mind's not totally clear but I think I'm good to do the negg hunt! Bring it! *claps* Well DONE Bandito!My wisdom teeth are out and my mind's not totally clear but I think I'm good to do the negg hunt! Bring it!

gamer_5_55_555 , June 7, 2013 11:22 PM NST <3 rosie -- keep going. We can always get in a time machine (maybe the one from last year) to pretend it's still Friday.

elbandito999 , June 7, 2013 11:28 PM NST do I get the feeling it's gonna happen at 11:59pm...

sylviamcc , June 7, 2013 11:31 PM NST @elbandito Ugh. I have a sneaking suspicion that you're right.

rosiethorns88 - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:00 AM NST I could use the excuse that it's still June 7th in Pago Pago, but I'll just admit that we're on the brink of releasing the terror upon you all. Please bear with us, we're impatient to get this out as much as you fine people. <3

shopey4291 , June 8, 2013 12:01 AM NST i'm going nuts!! ahhhh! rosie don't let me splode!!

haybales , June 8, 2013 12:04 AM NST Well, in 5 hours it'll be June 9th in NZ, so hurry up!

Nor make unattractive grunts,

but really, Jellyneo lets start the hunt!

britneyr , June 8, 2013 12:05 AM NST Is it going to be a few minutes or a few hours? I'm only asking because I'm trying to decide if I should stay up and wait or got o sleep.

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:09 AM NST This programmer has a hunch it's going to be at least an hour. If you're staying up late, you might want to sleep - the Hunt isn't going to disappear overnight.

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:09 AM NST later than a few minutes but sooner than a few hours

britneyr , June 8, 2013 12:10 AM NST Bed it is. Can't wait for tomorrow (or later today)!! Good point.Bed it is. Can't wait for tomorrow (or later today)!!

So, when does it start? D: Many familiar faces rounded here.So, when does it start? D:

con1468 , June 8, 2013 4:30 AM NST @flairina, Most likely, this is true.

con1468 , June 8, 2013 4:33 AM NST @theprotectorjer -.-

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 4:34 AM NST Unless we all got auto-signed-up @flairina, I thought that for a moment a few hours ago, so I keep checking the services page on my account portal tooUnless we all got auto-signed-up

train23_1 , June 8, 2013 4:35 AM NST D:

pikasuno , June 8, 2013 4:38 AM NST and to think I was worried about missing the start while I went to work

elbandito999 , June 8, 2013 5:47 AM NST thought I was going to miss the start due to having to work today. So if you can delay it for another couple of hours I'll be ecstatic I'm so happythought I was going to miss the start due to having to work today. So if you can delay it for another couple of hours I'll be ecstatic

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 6:19 AM NST C'mon! I woke up early so I could get a good start before I had to go do things today. What happened JN?

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 6:25 AM NST We really changed things up this year, so it's taking just a little longer... okay, longer... than expected. Still, getting very close. About to do some final hiding and a very quick staff test.

flairina , June 8, 2013 6:26 AM NST I can't get up... stuck on couch recovering... so desperate... NEEEEEEED... NEGGGGGSSSS... *insert zombie emoticon*

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 6:32 AM NST Not sure whether me seeing Kata's comment was a good thing or not... I had decided to go to bed if there wasn't any word from JN staff by 6:30am NST, so I guess now I'm staying up a little longer

flairina , June 8, 2013 6:33 AM NST



In all seriousness a new spin on things sounds interesting, but I wish it wasn't causing the delay. Still, we've waited this long so I suppose we can wait a bit longer. Oh no, change... ME NO LIKE CHANGEIn all seriousness a new spin on things sounds interesting, but I wish it wasn't causing the delay. Still, we've waited this long so I suppose we can wait a bit longer.

niddyz , June 8, 2013 6:36 AM NST At least TJNT updates us more regularly than TNT, or admits that there were snafus. This is why JN is superior.

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 6:52 AM NST Guess I will keep refreshing myself from last year until the first portal goes up.

flairina , June 8, 2013 6:55 AM NST Yeah, I do appreciate the updates we get here, unlike on Neo. Thanks JN Staff!

belial , June 8, 2013 7:00 AM NST Morning all! Waking up the brain with some AC goodness so when the hunt starts I have my thinking cap right.

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 7:01 AM NST Can't complain too much about the delay... it's been a productive few hours for me on neo: dailies done, BD done, WCs done, 10 games of KQ done, and rapidly approaching the next rank in the AC

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 7:05 AM NST



Oops, is that a spoiler saying there's clues still? Solving bugs so you can actually get clues.Oops, is that a spoiler saying there's clues still?

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 7:15 AM NST Still waiting xD I managed to move out of a house before it's live though, bonus xD

flairina , June 8, 2013 7:15 AM NST Well there BETTER still be clues or I'd be rather upset. Puzzling over those is the best part you know.

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 7:43 AM NST wonder how much longer I can manage to stay awake... SoSD is making me sleepy

treasure , June 8, 2013 7:44 AM NST Did it start yet?

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 7:46 AM NST @flairina: we still keep the process puzzle-clue-negg, just change... a bit

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 7:53 AM NST



Make ALL the staff work! (wish I could make the meme to go with this statement) @treasure: Not yet it seems. I just finished reading through the past three years' worth of Negg Hunt. Two hours later and still no Negg Hunt '13.Make ALL the staff work! (wish I could make the meme to go with this statement)

pikasuno , June 8, 2013 7:55 AM NST Now the reverse has happened, and as you all wake up, I need to sleep. Curses! I thought being Australian would be an advantage, and while most of you slept I'd be working awayNow the reverse has happened, and as you all wake up, I need to sleep. Curses!

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 7:55 AM NST I have some ideas of potential puzzles that have repeated the past few times. I do feel a little more prepared. I plan to claim that top spot this year. 10th place doesn't cut it.

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 7:56 AM NST

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

leeval , June 8, 2013 8:07 AM NST still waiting?! still waiting?!

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 8:11 AM NST



I am SO sorry. We want this released as much as you do. Some of the puzzles have proven a bit more buggy than we hoped. Clues are fixed now, but it's going to be at least 3 hours.I am SO sorry. We want this released as much as you do.

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 8:15 AM NST Urgh. Then I won't be starting til later tonight. Oh well. I'm sure I will be able to catch up.

sweep_the_doghouse , June 8, 2013 8:16 AM NST Thanks Kata, in that case since it's after 1am here I'm calling it a night. Hopefully (for your sake as well as ours) you won't unearth any more bugs after you get those puzzles sorted

flairina , June 8, 2013 8:23 AM NST Awww. Well, I do have all day and it's only lunchtime here, so I guess I'm not in much of a rush.

belial , June 8, 2013 8:24 AM NST for future reference, you guys should stick to releasing the hunt with neo easter events instead of the ac or events that we need to play 24/7.

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 8:24 AM NST Darn, I have work in three hours. Y'all should just plan to release it like, tomorrow.

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 8:26 AM NST You know what we need?

Some haikus to help us wait.

Trust me, they're cure-alls.

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 8:30 AM NST 3 hours won't kill us...though does 'at least' 3 hours mean it may not be out until the morning?

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 8:34 AM NST @xvickydoll I don't know what time it is for you right now, so I don't know when morning is. 'at least' means I would like to think 3 hours is enough, but you never know...

rubi1 , June 8, 2013 8:35 AM NST



I woke up this morning like it was Christmas bahaha! I am so excited for it to start I think I will read over old solutions for inspiration since I have only participated in one hunt.I woke up this morning like it was Christmas bahaha! I am so excited for it to start

logicalwhimsy , June 8, 2013 8:38 AM NST Your honesty over the glitches is much appreciated. ^^ I hadn't planned to today but I guess I'm going to play some Yooyuball. Oh well. =P

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 8:40 AM NST Three hours of ennui

Awaiting the mammoth quest;

A maelstr�m of Neggs

flairina , June 8, 2013 8:46 AM NST Now here we wait

We wait for neggs

We sit right here

And rest our legs

There's naught to do

But sit and rest

And though we know

It's for the best

We cannot help

But tap our feet

We're anxious, needy

Want the treat

The treat that is

The JN hunt

We're desperate now

So I'll be blunt

Please get it up

'Cause we need this!

We sit and wait

For negg hunt bliss



I TOO wrote a poem in anticipation. I'm too psyched to say nothing...

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 8:48 AM NST No, no, flairina

Haikus always trump sonnets;

Quoth Shakespeare, "Whatevs."

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 8:49 AM NST @flair: Is it bad I did that in an improvised sing-song style?

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 8:59 AM NST 3 hours takes me up to the evening. Keeping my fingers crossed! @kata UK, so right now it's 5pm3 hours takes me up to the evening. Keeping my fingers crossed!

flairina , June 8, 2013 9:06 AM NST @alabama No, that was intentional so sing song is perfect.

elbandito999 , June 8, 2013 9:15 AM NST Write a Haiku? Why?

I always think they're pointless.

Complete waste of time.

flairina , June 8, 2013 9:21 AM NST Frankly Haikus stink

I agree with Bandito

Utterly stupid.

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 9:23 AM NST You grudge their grandeur,

These rightful regents of prose;

Haikus > everything.

colors30 , June 8, 2013 9:24 AM NST Why do you dislike

These wonderful, amazing

Creatures called Haikus?

faintish , June 8, 2013 9:33 AM NST Hippopotamus

Irresponsibility

Refrigerator

colors30 , June 8, 2013 9:34 AM NST That has to be the

Best Haiku I have ever

Heard. I applaud you.

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 9:41 AM NST You're doin' it wrong.

"Full sentences make good haikus,"

A wise man once said.

krissa , June 8, 2013 9:42 AM NST Sigh. Waiting for at least 12 hours for the AWESOME negg hunt to begin. We all got trolled... anywho, I'm not doing altador cup anymore because this is WAY better!

yaksrock , June 8, 2013 9:47 AM NST That middle line had

Eight syllables, not seven...

I can't bear the shame.





...I think I should probably go.

myth_night , June 8, 2013 9:48 AM NST @yaksrock: is this better? I'm paraphrasing your words though faintish.



Hippos are really

Irresponsible said no

one's fridge ever. 'K?

flairina , June 8, 2013 9:53 AM NST Yeah, I've honestly long since stopped caring about the AC. It's boring and incredibly repetitive. Hence I wait for this.

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 9:55 AM NST I'm super excited to be here when it launches (sorry to everyone else who isn't so happy!) whoo when I asked you to wait til I got back from the fair I didn't think it would happenI'm super excited to be here when it launches (sorry to everyone else who isn't so happy!)

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 9:56 AM NST just can't stop myself going for all star even though AC is boring I'm gonna stay awake around the clock so I can AC and Huntjust can't stop myself going for all star even though AC is boring

shopey4291 , June 8, 2013 10:09 AM NST gahhh i'm so sad it hasn't started yet but at least i didn't miss anything when i went to bed!!!

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 10:31 AM NST We had a wheely tough time getting one puzzle to behave, but that's out of the way. Getting much much closer!

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 10:32 AM NST To bad the hunt won't work on my IPad. At least I don't think it will. 30 minutes and counting.To bad the hunt won't work on my IPad. At least I don't think it will.

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 10:33 AM NST so, lets amuse myself by reading the solutions for the past negg hunts and see if i can a: jog my memory b:make sense of it xD

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 10:49 AM NST :O Is Kata letting spoilers out? Either way, I'm anxious to start. Is the Negg Hunt flash based? I can't remember. I just want to start when it comes out but may have to wait until I get one later.

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 10:52 AM NST the portals are normally flash based aren't they

neotamer448 , June 8, 2013 10:55 AM NST Yes they are

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 10:56 AM NST we have more than just flash this year

tomatereloco , June 8, 2013 11:08 AM NST Is it going to be probably released in less than an hour?

colors30 , June 8, 2013 11:10 AM NST @tomater kata said 3 hours ago that it would be about 3 hours more... so we should be getting some kind of close now

elbandito999 , June 8, 2013 11:20 AM NST actually he said 'at least 3 hours...'

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 11:22 AM NST I want to do another 19 games of yball today so I don't mind a little bit more of a wait!!

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 11:40 AM NST Yup, we had a lot of trouble with one of the puzzles, but they've all been worked out. There's still one more puzzle that needs to go through testing, but we took care of the hardest ones first.



We've definitely allotted extra time to finish the hunt, since it wouldn't be fair otherwise. @_@

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 11:41 AM NST ...so any time now then? aaaaaaa excited

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 11:42 AM NST I forgot to ask before too...will the portals be staggered again this year or do we get everything all at once? Or would that spoil us too much?

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 11:46 AM NST I really can't wait! If we've been waiting this long for the NH, you know it's gotta be great!

flairina , June 8, 2013 11:59 AM NST *Jeopardy theme starts playing*

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:03 PM NST @xvicky: kinda the same as last year, it gives the other hunters a chance to catch up

myth_night , June 8, 2013 12:03 PM NST Now this is what you call suspense

rubi1 , June 8, 2013 12:07 PM NST *can't wait*

jimmycarlos , June 8, 2013 12:16 PM NST The suspense. The suspense. Exam results have nothing on this.

jimmycarlos , June 8, 2013 12:20 PM NST You know, the hunt hasn't even started yet I'm already scared of Dave's Safe v20.13.

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 12:22 PM NST Why did you have to bring that up?!?! I'm cringing already!

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:23 PM NST -died at the sound of the safe-

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 12:24 PM NST trying to block out the safe. Never gotten it since the first negg hunt xD

scout , June 8, 2013 12:25 PM NST Ugh, the safe. So many painful memories of me trying to solve it

flairina , June 8, 2013 12:26 PM NST That safe... it was so deceptively easy that one time... but I suffered over it for days... SAAAAAFEEE!!! *shakes fish*

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:29 PM NST I liked the text game.

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 12:29 PM NST lol I was remembering the pathway safe earlier which wasn't that hard - once you knew the trick, until you'd got it though it was unsolvable!!

scout , June 8, 2013 12:30 PM NST @daughters_ofthe_moon That safe puzzle made me feel stupid

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:31 PM NST @theprotectorjer was the safe the harest one you had to fix? xD

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:31 PM NST *hardest

alabamasax , June 8, 2013 12:33 PM NST Safe is probably not in the first portal though it could be.

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 12:34 PM NST or maybe...there will be no safe?!?!?!?!?!



We can hope, right?

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 12:38 PM NST I just want the Hunt to go up before I have to go work...

haybales , June 8, 2013 12:38 PM NST Come on JNT! You can do it! *waits impenitently*

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:40 PM NST no safe??? ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@con: er no, the other one

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 12:40 PM NST So, will there be a Where's Waldo type puzzle? That would be interesting...

rubi1 , June 8, 2013 12:42 PM NST Oooh I like the cut of your jib hawkclaw.

myth_night , June 8, 2013 12:43 PM NST @theprojecter: You've made it all a giant maze of safes haven't you...

belial , June 8, 2013 12:43 PM NST Oh my, the safe! I had blocked that part in my memory, somewhat like a trauma, like the content beast's lair. /shivers

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 12:44 PM NST As long as the maze isn't a moving one like last year's, I'll be okay with it, but if it's a giant maze of safes in which you're trying to find a needle in a haystack, well, I'm just going to go cry in a hole now...

scout , June 8, 2013 12:46 PM NST @myth_night Don't give them any ideas! D:

myth_night , June 8, 2013 12:49 PM NST Whoops...

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:51 PM NST @THEPRO So the text game thing was the hardest?

tomatereloco , June 8, 2013 12:52 PM NST @rosie, you haven't slept at all????

theprotectorjerdana - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 12:54 PM NST @con: I'll spoil everything here if I keep answering so I'll just curl back to my bed and wait for Kata to add some final touches

con1468 , June 8, 2013 12:57 PM NST @thepro okayies

shopey4291 , June 8, 2013 1:01 PM NST i have to go to work soon :/ I just wanted to start the negg hunt

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 1:06 PM NST "Go go go Kata, you know what they say!

Go go go Kata, you'll make it someday!

Sha-la-la Kata, you're doing fine,

You and your coding ahead of your time!"

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 1:08 PM NST So, do we have another ETA? said the most impatient person...ever

shopey4291 , June 8, 2013 1:15 PM NST i think im just as impatient as you vicky lol

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 1:20 PM NST ... I certainly hope it's very soon. They said there are just a few tweaks left and it's just Kata.

shopey4291 , June 8, 2013 1:33 PM NST c'mon jn! you can do it!!

brunettexbeauty76 , June 8, 2013 1:36 PM NST Cant wait! I have literally been stalking these comments in anticipation of the upcoming huntCant wait!

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 1:43 PM NST Ode to Negg Hunt



You were once my one companion,

You were all that mattered.

You were once here right beside me,

Now my hopes are shattered.



Wishing you were somehow here again,

Wishing you were somehow near.

Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed,

Somehow you would be here!



(Yes, I know it's almost verbatim, but it worked so well, sorry...)

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 1:44 PM NST You guys are great for being so patient! (Or at least not pelting us with flaming coconuts.) *ducks*



We're working out one last snag, and then we just have to turn everything on (which takes all of like, 5 minutes).

con1468 , June 8, 2013 1:47 PM NST *pelts with flaming coconuts*



Whoops. Sorry. xD

colors30 , June 8, 2013 1:48 PM NST

You guys get to have all the fun without us, I love fixing bugs although in a case like this, I'm sure it's quite stressful... which is why you guys are kinda awesome for putting up with us and putting this on @kataYou guys get to have all the fun without us, I love fixing bugsalthough in a case like this, I'm sure it's quite stressful... which is why you guys are kinda awesome for putting up with us and putting this on

elbandito999 , June 8, 2013 1:50 PM NST *hides flaming coconuts*



No, seriously, who would pelt the lovely JN staff?



We do know you do all this for free, and if it's anything remotely as good as last years it 'll much better than anything on neopets.



So don't worry, I can wait another day or so :p

con1468 , June 8, 2013 1:51 PM NST Jellyneo events, are way better then the Neopets events nowadays.

flairina , June 8, 2013 1:51 PM NST Figures that it'll probably start during the ONE time I'll be stepping out today. :p

icyfox , June 8, 2013 1:51 PM NST I'm so excited! This is going to be my very first JN Negg Hunt! JN staff, all of you are so awesome! I looked through previous Hunt solutions, and all of the Hunts looked so wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to plan and put on these Hunts! The wait is definitely worth it, because I know that this Hunt is going to be the best thing ever!

hawkclaw4 , June 8, 2013 1:52 PM NST Kata, don't worry! We love everything you guys do and wouldn't dare pelt you!

superphuntime , June 8, 2013 2:08 PM NST I can't believe the amount of comments here. It's more than any news release I've seen.

con1468 , June 8, 2013 2:09 PM NST I juggled the best colors. I deserve that bow.



*bows and falls of stage again*

colors30 , June 8, 2013 2:09 PM NST @super just wait until we get into the actual hunt... the comments there have to constantly be deleted, they get so many XD

*bows with con, trips off the stage as well, into the lever that released all of the coconuts*

Oops.

At Jellyneo

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:11 PM NST @superphun: wait until the hunt actually starts. Last year had approximately 21,000 comments according to the guide and usually they delete them from the news posts when they reach a couple of hundred during the hunts.

@myth *throws flaming coconuts at you, for lack of ninja stars*

britneyr , June 8, 2013 2:15 PM NST Echoing the comments praising TJNT and their awesome site events! So much better than the TNT's events. Thank you for all your hard work!

xvickydoll , June 8, 2013 2:15 PM NST comments during the hunt are also the best place to find sneaky hints..if you see them before deletion anyway

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:15 PM NST I have ninja stars, they're just invisible since they're ninjas themselves

colors30 , June 8, 2013 2:16 PM NST That's like ninjaception right there :O

daughters_ofthe_moon , June 8, 2013 2:17 PM NST I always haunt the comments while hunting, xvickydoll is right you need to catch the clues that end up censored as they were to on point

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:17 PM NST Well I guess one of them is a pirate star since he didn't want to be in the family business but yeah, pretty much...

colors30 , June 8, 2013 2:18 PM NST Oh gosh, does this mean we have to break out the crazy pirate boat again?

*dons pirate hat*

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:19 PM NST Yes... yes it does. *grabs a cutlass and eyepatch*

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:24 PM NST Or perhaps they're both 5 miles west of everywhere.

colors30 , June 8, 2013 2:25 PM NST Hmm.... that may be right. And we can't check the map... because who needs a map when you're crazy?

I know, let just stop and get a socko for a makeshift parrot! Maybe we'll find where our friend from last year left off in the text adventure!

kataklysmos - JN Staff , June 8, 2013 2:26 PM NST We're now just moments away from releasing. Just updating some wording and then we'll put up a newspost and you'll be able to start the hunt.

myth_night , June 8, 2013 2:27 PM NST Sure. After we find them we should all stop for pirate/ninja/text based pancakes

colors30 , June 8, 2013 2:29 PM NST We'll just have an entire nice brunchinner on the boat to celebrate the release of the hunt, which is apparently moments away!
