Leaving the build up to allow people to finish? I hope the newcomers who just started within the past few days can find out about that (if I don't tell some I found or who found me myself, but I'd wanna be sure of what I did tell). And might I be able to run through with another avatar if I wanted? I wouldn't care if it couldn't get on the Wall, but would like to go through again - at least once. Even if not, I'd be willing to hang around and help any I could as long as the sim allowed. And I'd probably be willing to beta-test some game elements or whatever. I wish I had the L$ to make a big contribution, but maybe I can contribute in some other way that might be of value. At the very least, I expect to spread the word around SL about OV - if I ever start spending any SL time outside of OV and PT again.

Christmasville instead of Octoberville? I certainly hope not!! I'm with Silken on the chance there would be enough volunteers to help there be both, although I'm fairly certain it's too late for this year. A Christmasville might not be as elaborate as OV, but sounds like OV didn't start out that way either. Shoot, just stringing up Christmas decor throughout OV and getting the gang together would be really special. I hate snow, but if it had to be around for Christmas atmosphere, OV people would keep it warm. And there are already fires to sit around - even a whole house. Someone even pointed out that there is already an orange snowperson standing in front of PixelTrix. I'm more of a 'bah, humbug' sort of guy, but then I wasn't much into Halloween until I got to interacting with the OV crowd. But if a year came along without an OV and PT, I'm afraid there would be much more reaction than just buckets or rivers of tears. And I'm brand new to all of this.

I definitely vote for more challenging and fun on the moving objects - even the frustration of something not being in any of the five or six places I'd seen it many times before but didn't see any use for the item at that time was a healthy, fun sort of aggravation. I'd be afraid without them moving around, someone could just send around a list of where everything would be and then there would be no hunting to do. Where's the fun in that? Although I did spend much too much of my limited SL time chatting with other hunters instead of gathering items I did need and could find (at least until Peewee decided to keep me focused, with Elise cracking the whip ). But what do I know? I've only been in SL around 80 days and of course this was my first visit to OV and PT.

I started really thinking about next year's Octoberville as soon as I was finished with the Hunt. I was wishing I could have gone through again with another avatar but I just didn't have enough time left to get far enough and still keep in touch with new friends and acquaintances this avatar had made at the same time. I'll just have to wait until next year. So much to do ... make OV2012 folders in Landmarks and Objects; hunt for a costume and/or some makeup; ... . How many days away is it now?
