The Lucky Tribe has started!!!

OK, it's past 12pm slt and the info notecard was released to the group! I'll post it here for you!

What is Lucky Tribe?

Lucky Tribe is two things: firstly, it's a brand-new, *official* "fan group" for people who love Lucky Chairs, Midnight Manias, MobVends, Cupcakes, Lucky Dips, and all the other cool stuff made by Lucky Designs. If you love chair-hopping, MM-slapping, or just have a keen eye for an SL bargain, we hope you'll feel right at home here!

However, Lucky Tribe is *so* much more than yet-another-cookie-cutter chair-hopping group. Lucky Tribe is also a framework under which we're running a whole new series of games, attractions, and events. We've spent the last couple of months devising a series of cool new ways to keep you entertained, and we've partnered with some of SL's best content creators in order to bring you a bunch of cool new prizes... the results of this work are going to be gradually released over the next few days... we're sure you're going to love it!

Here's how it works:

Lucky Tribe has it's own "currency" - Tribe Kudos Points. There's a bunch of different ways you can earn Kudos points (more about this in a moment), and your gains and achievements are tracked in a special HUD. You can also use this HUD to check out the Kudos rating of other tribe members who are standing near to you - which is useful for bragging rights! ;)

Every time you earn 100 Kudos points, you can drop in at Lucky Tribe HQ and claim a prize token. These prize tokens are special tickets (also worn on your HUD), which can be exchanged for a prize at automated redemption points, located in our event partner stores. We've tried to launch the event with a mixed bunch of partner sites, so you'll find things like clothing, skins, furniture, textures, and lots more up for grabs ... hopefully something to appeal to everybody. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be working to bring *lots* more stores into the event!

How do I get Kudos?

There are 3 different ways to boost your Kudos Score:

(1). By doing something you already love - chair hopping! We've secretly installed "Lucky Tribe" scripts into some of our favourite Lucky Tribe attractions around the grid ... there's already a bunch of Lucky Chairs, Lucky Boards, Lucky Cupcakes and Lucky Fortune Tellers ready and waiting to grant you Kudos... so now, not only do you win the "regular" chair prize at these venues .... you also get a unique stamp on your Tribe Hud, and bonus Kudos points too!

(2). By playing one of our brand-new, large-scale attractions. Watch out for "Detonation", our new live game-show, which rewards quick-thinking, logic, and nimble fingers (just try not to get blasted into little tiny pieces in the process!) ... see if you can solve the Fnordian Moon Labyrinth; a traditional hedge maze, packed with curious sculptures and secret places to explore .... Go foraging for mushrooms with Professor Korvin, in his "Mysterious Mycological Muddle" ... or see if you can pass the Lucky Tribe initiation ceremony at tribe HQ. These - and other attractions - are already starting to roll out to partner sites around the grid - some are up and running already! ... Keep watching the group notices for further announcements!

(3). Instant Events! We're putting together a team of event hosts to run spontaneous micro-events, which could kick off at any time, anywhere on the grid.... all with Kudos awards (and other prizes!) up for grabs. Keep your eyes on the group chat, the first of these is arriving very, very soon....

Great, how do I start?

You need a Tribe HUD! ... the best way to get one of these is to visit "HUD Tiki", on the Lucky Tribe flying island HQ. However, we anticipate that this location is going to be *slightly* busy over the next few hours ... so we'll be rezzing a few of Hud Tiki's twin brothers to ease the strain. The first of these will be on the doorstep of Lucky Designs ... we'll add more if required.

Main collection point: Lucky Tribe HQ http://slurl.com/secondlife/Samoa/97/208/81

Alternative Collection Point http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bermuda/20/37/23

We've also got a 7 Seas fishing game running at Lucky Tribe HQ, where those of you who are handy with a fishing rod can grab some kudos-loaded fish (and if you're _not_ already a 7 Seas addict, this could be a great place to get hooked (sorry - bad pun!!!!)) .... and Tribe HQ also hosts the super-double-secret Lucky Tribe initiation ceremony, with an initiation stamp and Kudos to be earned!.

If Lucky Tribe HQ is full, you might want to try scoring some Kudos at some of our participating stores ... a "cheat sheet" is going to follow this message, to set you off in the right direction. Alternatively, why not dive straight into the Fnordian Moon Maze here http://slurl.com/secondlife/Blue%20Moon/99/97/653
.... or keep watching the tribe chat for a special announcement from Mr LostTiki Madzuko.

We hope you enjoy Lucky Tribe!

Oh... one more thing...

As a special reward for early sign-ups, we're giving a charter member HUD stamp and 50 Kudos points to everybody who joins this group during the launch phase of Lucky Tribe (this means you're already half way to earning your first prize!) .... simply click on the special sign near the Lucky Tribe HQ landing point to claim :)
