Limited Duration Kudos Spotlight: Quest for the Sword of Thorns Hunt

Greetings Tribe!

Your help is needed. I regret to inform you that a princess has been captured by a very naughty man. Did I mention this princess knows the location of a very powerful weapon? So the question is, will you free the princess or force her to tell you where the weapon is? This is the question posed in the Quest for the Sword of Thorns Hunt.

Now what does this mean to Lucky Tribe? One word: Kudos!

Lucky Tribe has had members who have gone on hunts. Locations which have hosted hunts, but has never been part of a hunt itself. Until now...

Lucky Tribe is now part of a RP intensive hunt. So get yourself in character, get some cute RP garb and join in the hunt. The Lucky Tribe portion takes you all over the grid and when completed will give you a total of 30 Kudos points!

A special thanks to the folks who helped make the hunt happen: Shep Korvin (of course), Helen Daines (Oraganizer Supreme) and Izo Ryba (wonderful props) and to Abundantia for providing the prize for our section of the hunt.

I have also heard it's Unlucky Fish spawning season. The elusive fish has been rumored to be able to be caught at Lucky Tribe HQ. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Samoa/122/200/994 .

The next 3 people who send me a card in world with the phrase, "I seek the grail, err... sword" will get a limited edition Miranda kudos reward. If you have already received this from me, let someone else get the reward.

Good Hunting and Good Luck!

Prize Spotlight: Abundantia

After looking at quite a few really great Lucky Tribe Redemption Prizes for this post, my inner-geek dragged me back to Abundantia at Uhre-DragonReach (SLurl) for YessikaCalydon Bardenboar's The astounding Ramla, a fortune teller much like you can still sometimes see in arcades or carnivals. As you'd expect, if you want your fortune you pay one of the two "coin slots" L$1 to learn the Ramla's words of wisdom. After that a blue dialog box appears in the upper-right corner of your screen with your fortune, one of 4o inside the machine (20 per "coin slot"). Here is what I got for my buck: "It is only those who have hit rock bottom that ever appreciate the sky."

Of course, I paid myself but I can see using this gadget in one of my shops where I have 40 spare prims to pick up some pocket change. I've used other vendor/toys like this, though not for the income. Rather something like this adds atmosphere and whimsy to a shop or other venue so customers spend more time and, hopefully, see more of your products to buy. The 40 prims is a bit heavy, but the unit is Copy/Mostly Mod so you could adapt it, like remove the feet or add a sign to explain how the device works. I like the cleverness of it I think I'll have some fun with it.

I know I'm gonna have at least as much fun as the Prize Ticket I used to get it is worth and I think you will, too. What? You don't have a Prize Ticket? You need more Kudos? Then contact me in-world with the phrase "I see a Lucky future" and I'll send a prim to you that adds 15 Kudos to your total when you wear it or rez it. I can take only the first seven people who haven't yet gotten the Blogaholic badge. And I'll mark this post as soon as I can when I hand out the last one. [19:36 SLT 23Oct2009] And I got the last one in before my messages capped. That was Lucky. Sorry if I didn't reply to some of you, but that's what capping means.

Are you a Lucky Tribe affiliate with a Redemption Prize that you want to have featured here? Contact me in-world via note card with your shop's LM and I'll drop by to check it out.
