Psst, The semi-annual Twisted Hunt’s going to start March 1 and run through the end of the month. I’d tell you about it, but then I would have to drive you mad. It’s basically the hardest hunt in Second Life. While merchants are only allowed 10 *visible* decoys with which to fool hunters, they are allowed any number of *invisible* decoys, meaning they can hide as many as they want in the walls and floors, plus rename random objects in their stores to match that of the hunt object.

The good news is the hunt object is always the same: The Twisted “Lament” cube, your basic run of the mill puzzle box. It spins. It is some predetermined color. And it is kind of small. This incarnation’s color is called “Ectoplasm”. Beyond that, you will have to wait and see what surprises the 13th Twisted Hunt holds.

Oh, did i forget to mention that this is the 13th Twisted Hunt? And did you know there is a Friday the 13th in March this year? Rumors are flying about what we have up our virtual sleeves for torturing those brave enough to tackle this hunt, but rest assured all of the merchants in the hunt create fantastic gifts for our hapless and insane hunter friends. Plus there are gachas, side hunts, mazes, games, extra gifts, decoy gifts, sales, and various torture implements by all the various merchant critters. They really tend to outdo themselves with every hunt.

Oh, and then there’s the traditional End Game, which can be pretty difficult, but often results in even more stuff for the hapless hunter. Plus, you can get the coveted Survivor Tag. If you get that, you’ve definitely earned it!

Avatar Bizarre, being one of the organizers and sponsors of this hunt, likes to uphold the high standards with an awesome gift. This time, feast your eyes on the Id Creature Avatar, a beastie (no, I do NOT know what it is) who will be given out in male and female forms. It’s materials enhanced, and comes with six sets of eyes, so you can choose whatever eye color strikes your fancy. All eyes blink. As for the rest, it’s rigged mesh, yadda yadda.

This will be exclusive for the duration of the hunt. Once the hunt is over, Avatar Bizarre will be releasing six more colors in both genders, for your Online Pleasure.

IN the meantime, the hunt starts soon. When the time comes, happy hunting. And please don’t go mad.
