Want to give a huge thank you to The goddess and Jenni for a fantastic game. What a well thought out idea and a great way to keep me hooked. Would have deleted the game a long time ago if it weren't for guys like you making it so eggciting (had to add that, sorry). Thanks girls xxxx

Good idea though I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't know how anybody plays with a phone. I used to play other games on my iPhone, but since using the iPad, I couldn't go back. Wait untl I get the iMac set up...

Thanks for the game it was fun to find the hidden items but the typing up of my results was a nightmare. I don't know how all of you do it. I hate typing but I do love looking for things so it worked out OK. Thanks again. Hope everyone is having a happy day.

I'd like you all to know that the answers I've received have been exactly what I asked for - very descriptive and precise. It will make it easy for me to tally the results tomorrow.
I'd also like to acknowledge "the gang" who put this together last night - jenniOR, licat, Sol, and myself - in an impromptu meeting in the chat room which lasted well past midnight Pacific. I'd also like to thank M3 and sharazani for hiding objects in their towns.
Mostly, I'd like to thank jenniOR for inviting us to participate in this endeavor. For coming up with this idea last night and pulling it all together on such short notice, I think we did a pretty good job. The next time, we'll have more time to plan and will come up with something really exciting for you all.
Thanks again for participating - keep those answers coming!

Big exalt for Yarn Goddess and JenniOR for putting the event together.

Good evening to everyone! I hope you're having fun looking for all the bunnies and other Easter items we hid--it was almost as much fun hiding them for you to find. Anyone hesitating about playing--don't--it's all in good fun. Even with my teeny iPod, I was able to find the Goddess' items without knowing where she hid them. eta: I just want to be clear, I'm not playing for any of the prizes. ;D

Time is up! The contest is officially over. Thank you so much for all the kind words, both here and in PM's. I'm delighted that you enjoyed yourselves, and I know that the rest of "the gang" will also be very happy. I speak for all of us when I say that we really enjoyed bringing this contest to you. I hope that we will have many more contests in the future, and that more and more of you will participate. I will be going through all the entries tomorrow and posting the correct answers, as well as the results, on this thread. They should be up by tomorrow night. Again, thank you. It was a real pleasure doing this.

I have the results of the Easter Contest all tabulated. There were 15 contestants, which I think is pretty good considering the short notice and the fact that it was a holiday. The winners are: 1st Place - followthesun 2nd Place - newzealander 3rd Place - rocky 4th Place - milehi The answers (which in some cases are written a little more simply than what was submitted) are as follows: MonstropolisTwo (2) Rabbit Topiaries1. Next to the Spaceport and Countdown Ball or Champagne Fountain. 2. Behind the Hot Air Balloons, next to the Pot of Gold (which is also near a villa). FedWayTwo (2) Rabbit Topiaries1. Behind Cafe Arizona and in front of luxury apartment. 2. Between Sushirrito and Blue Water Taco Grill. The rabbit is hidden by Mt. Fuji. $Money Town$Two (2) Rabbit Topiaries1. Behind the Eiffel Tower. 2. Behind the theater named Famous Players or in front of the Lucky Chance Casino. SolsvilleTwo (2) Rabbit Topiaries1. Behind P and K Jewelry. 2. Behind the Root Biergarten. Chazani's TownFour (4) Royal Trees1. Two are in front of the modern villa. 2. Two are separated by a street vendor cart; there's a Zen Garden behind them and a Mega Mall partially covering one of them. There is an alternate answer for this question, as there was a problem with lag and the hidden trees not appearing where they were placed until mid-way through the game: 1. Two (2) are by the modern villa. 2. By the Mega Mall with a street vendor between them; one is behind the Mega Mall. Any of those four answers were accepted. Goddess AcresTwo (2) Park Benches1. In front of the VIP Theater. 2. Next to the retro modern house by the tennis court. Two (2) Royal Topiaries1. In the Luxury Apartment/VIP mansion complex near the Pot of Gold. 2. At the bottom of the Kite Park next to the Gazebo, behind the Toys R Us. One (1) Royal Tree1. Behind the BioPreservation Dome or in front of the Luxury Apartments. As I stated before, the answers were all beautifully written and very concise. It made it simple to tabulate the results. Thank you for taking the time to make sure everything was spelled out. That brings this contest to it's official close. Thank you and congratulations to everyone who played. I have submitted the names and number of karma points each player is to receive to Sol. I'm not sure when he'll award them, but I'm sure it will be soon. If you won franchises, you will receive them tomorrow from Big Bucks Fairy, who agreed to be our resident Robin Hood. I'm now going to bed.

To the BBF - as always, you rock. I'm off to open an optometrist in my town - I figure there's demand. Sleep well, YG :-)
