Fox Hunt today at Carriage Trade!

Please join us today at Carriage Trade for our version of a  cruelty-free, non-bloodsport fox hunt.  We will release 600 sculpted foxes to run free over our estate.  Some foxes contain valuable prizes.  Hunters pursue the foxes and click them to make the foxes give up their goodies.

It’s fun, fast-paced game where everyone wins…and no one gets hurt!

The foxes are released at 1 pm sharp and the hunt usually takes about 30 minutes.

In conjunction with our weekend release of the Royal Tibetan tack set, the prizes included in today’s hunt will include a special edition of the Royal Tibetan tack set, only available at the fox hunt.  There will be 6 complete sets released in pieces.  Come join us for a great time, chasing foxes in Carriage Trade.

Please join us as we tour the new equestrian RP game in Carriage Trade. The game uses a flexible, easy to install game engine, the Honor Engine. The Honor Engine recently received a ScienceSim land grant to port the system to OpenSim. We’ve installed the system in SL to showcase its ease of use.

The Honor Engine can easily be used to develop simple-to-complex educational games.

Oopen beta of the new equestrian lifestyle horse game at Carriage Trade begins this weekend. The game is free to play and full of great prizes, free form roleplay and best of all, horses!

We will be touring the different roleplay facilities and explaining some of the activities you can experience in Carriage Trade.

Please make sure you observe our Roleplay Dress Code (available at the entrance) and put a visitor titler on.

Be a horse, be a vet, be a farrier, be a rider, be an herbalist, be a fox, dog or owl…just be there!

We will have open to the public tours Saturday @ 10 am SLT Sunday @ 1 pm SLT

Meet at the welcome area and don’t be late! Carriages depart promptly!

Round Two of Carriage Trade RP Game Beta Testing

Round Two has started, and our thanks to everyone who participated in Round #1!

Round One helped us iron out a few wrinkles in the existing Carriage Trade RP Game.

For Round #2, we have added more new features, including Owl, and Dog chores; a full line of Herbalist activities; a farmstand; and changes to the bakery and the Apothecary.  We have also retired some of the trade goods so please trot by the Registrar’s office and trade in your retired trade goods for active trade goods.

Retired trade goods include: Corn Cob, Corn Meal, Vial of Lavender Oil, Vial of Tea Tree Oil, Devil’s Claw, Vial of Eucalyptus Oil,  Cake of Beeswax, Vial of Pennyroyal Oil, Jar of Leather Balm. If you have any of these items in your RP Game inventory, please exchange them in the red box marked Temporary Banker.

In your previous quest for round one, you were asked to complete a series of chores and task and then to create trade goods which you then traded to a Prize Winner vendor to obtain a cart.  While this quest will remain active until we conclude the testing, we now have a newer, better quest for you…

Introducing, Quest #2:

Mr. Wheeler, the Carriage Showroom Associate, has a well-known sweet tooth. Unfortunately, his sweet tooth has caught up with him, and now he has a toothache.  He has told you that if you bring him something for both his sweet tooth, and his toothache, he’ll cut you a GREAT deal on a brand new Calache carriage for a draft horse.  He’s even made it easy for you, and can give you a list of what he’s willing to accept in the way of Trade Goods.

Your mission is to obtain the list of Trade Goods + Coin that Mr. Wheeler will accept, and to obtain the Trade Goods + Coin (by honest labor, gathering, trade, or theft) and bring those to back to the special Quest Vendor marked Prize Winner located int he Carriage Showroom, and trade them to obtain your new Caleche.

OMG, you say but how do I FIND all this stuff? Ask your friends and other residents and get clicky.  Click, click, click. There’s a great deal of interactivity in Carriage Trade and more coming. We won’t tell you how to find everything you need; just use your common sense and think it through – where would you find an apple pie; how would you obtain special spices; where might you find metal work or bees wax?  and above all, have fun with it.

What’s that? you like Quests and you want MOAR?  OK, no problem. If you visit the Tack Room, near the Midnight Mania boards, you will find four vendors that are set up to accept Coin or Coin + Trade Good combinations.  Figure out the best option for you and then go get what you need to trade Coin and Trade Goods to these special vendors for your OWN Second Life copies of the carriages to use anywhere in Second Life that you wish.

Currently the Sub Quest prizes include a LH Singleton Chariot, a LG Singleton Buggy, a Pair Covered Wagon, and a Victoria Cart for the Pony.

Did you miss out on the meter release on Monday, September 5th? No problem. We will be metering the next round of beta testers on Tuesday, September 6th, at 5:30 pm SLT at the Registrar’s in Fox Hill.

See you there, and have fun!
