Holiday Hunts

Heads up, hunters!  The holidays are upon us and the mad rush of hunts has begun!!!  FlopHouse has some gifts coming your way if you are willing to tp this way and find them.  Here's the scoop on our holiday hunts:




Peace on Earth Gridwide Hunt - No. 240
Dec 1, 2009 – Jan 2, 2010
For this hunt vendors are encouraged to create something to foster global peace, diversity, and cross-cultural understanding.  Gifts are made especially for this hunt to reflect these themes, be that something specific to the builder's culture, faith, or beliefs, or something about peace in general.  The hunt is also unique in that the entries are juried... in order for a vendor to be approved, at least 3 of the judges had to agree that there was something in that store worth going back for.  FlopHouse is offering a Tibetan Prayer Flag Hutch and a box of full perm prayer flag textures I created in Gimp based on the flags at my rl home.  Pics and more info can be found in the Flickr photo stream for the hunt and on the Opium Fashion Agency blog.  The official blog for the hunt, with a listing of all participants, can be found here.


Santa's Lil' Helper Hunt - No. 24
Dec 1-31, 2009
This hunt is all about holiday fun.  100 vendors lined up to bring some jolly to the holly.  FlopHouse (#24 in the hunt) is delighted to join Santa's Lil' Helpers in offering you a little something extra for your stocking this holiday.  Specifically, look under an odd sort of tree in the shop for the Santa's Lil' Helper hunt box to find two old fashioned holiday patterned fainting couches with a unisex reclining animation that you can reposition to fit your own size and frame.  One is creme with a vintage "Jingle Bells" pattern and the other, "Blue Angels" is, well, blue with little angels. Matching tiny and/or pet sized sofas are also included in both sets.  8 sofas in all, 2 sizes 4 styles.  The gift also contains a green crew shirt with a bunny motif that can be worn on multiple layers.

Curse O Da Black Pearl Hunt - No. 71
Dec 15, 2009 to Jan 15, 2010
Had enough of all the red and green?  How about some black?  Black pearls, that is.  This pirate themed hunt is sure to bring you plenty of adventure and add a little spice to the season.  You'll find FlopHouse at #71 in this hunt.  Included in the Curse O Da Black Pearls hunt object (pssst.... check the pirate ship, matey) are a skulls and roses patterned fainting couch set, a "Doom Bunny" black hoody that can be worn on multiple layers, and a bunny skull and crossbones pirate hat.

Bunny Ballroom Trees... New at FlopHouse

In celebration of the new Open Beta for Ozimal Bunnies (and their official release in the near future), FlopHouse has a brand new line of habitats for your favorite hoppers.  The new Bunny Ballroom Trees are first being introduced in two styles, Gilded and Gothic, with more on the way.

The Gilded Bunny Ballroom Tree is just what your rococco bunny always wanted.  Make your bunnies at home in the style they would like to become accustomed to, in all the glory of Versailles and the Sun King.



The Gothic Bunny Ballroom Tree features stone lacework windows arching about more playful modern flooring.  Traditional flooring styles also available for those who prefer their Gothic straight up.


All Bunny Ballrooms are designed with the ease of the Ozimal bunny owner in mind.  Ozimal bunnies can be set at birth to keep within a certain range, to limit lag caused by collision.  Bunny Ballrooms are sized with this in mind, with a helpful target marker at the center of each ballroom that marks the optimal home position, and ballrooms that are just a bit bigger than the 3 meter, 2 meter, and 1 meter ranges.

These ranges allow plenty of room for your bunnies to frolic without taking over your sim. Each range represents the radius that the bunny will travel, so the 3 meter ballroom is actually 6 meters in diameter, the 2 meter is 4 meters in diameter, and the 1 meter allows a 2 meter diameter play space for your bunnies.

Further space saving is achieved with the tree design that allows for graceful stacking of the four separate habitats included with each ballroom tree: one 3 meter, one 1 meter, and two 2 meter ballrooms.

Full sized demonstration models are available for sale at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Naima/128/206/22 and the FlopHouse Main Store.  Four habitats in one, only 13 prims combined, L$250.

Enter at Your Own Risk Hunt




The Enter at Your Own Risk Hunt is on and approaching a close.  Have you hunted yet?  Last day of this hunt is November 24!

Successful FlopHouse EAYOR hunters will receive a Halloween Hutch (with toys), a Psychedelic Skellz fainting couch set and a Red Skullz fainting couch set.

Where's the treasure?  Who's to know.  But I would look above the ghostly glow.


New Location!

FlopHouse has moved, with the rest of the Madder Than The Hatter sim, to a new location.  Our new home, Naima, has the advantage of being a Class 5 sim (much faster and more reliable server) capably managed by the MTTH team to be as lag free as possible. 

Our new location also offers the advantage of direct teleport... come check it out! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Naima/85/20/21 

In addition to shops, there are also farm plots available for bunny rearing and some very nice residential plots.  If you are interested in shop, farm, or residential rental, contact Kirakah Little for details.

Bunny Hopping at first MTTH Bash

Bunnies (and the avatars who love them) were indeed hopping yesterday at the first "Bring Your Pets and Party" celebration at the Madder Than The Hatter community and market.  Folks brought their pets to happily hop around us while we danced the afternoon away to music provided by DJ Kira.



One of the highlights of the party was the bunny hop conga line.... which the beta bunnies observed with some amusement.  A good time was had by all, and Kira assures us more such dances are in the works.  Drop by Madder Than The Hatter and click on the big purple hat at the hub to join the group so you don't miss a single party invitation!

New Skullz line of fainting couches!




Just in time for Halloween... a new line of fainting couches from FlopHouse.  Relax with your pet on matching skullz patterned sofas.  Now available at the main shop in both White Skullz and Red Skullz, with more colors on the way.  The full sized fainting couches are poseball free, but contain a dynamic animation that you can easily adjust to fit your avatar size with the enclosed sit adjustment tools and instructions.  Come to the main store to test a demonstration model!
