HARDCORE HUNT: SEVEN SINS!

Our gorgeous Hunt Mistress, Naiya Valeska, has asked me to post the upcoming HARDCORE HUNT:  SEVEN SINS designer application on the blog, so here it is!

Hello Sinners..!

Hunt starts November. 7, 2012 - Ends December. 7, 2012

This time around we have a newly invented hunt.  We are going to incorporate the 7 sins into the hunt.  This hunt will be far stricter then the last because there will be specifics, and for those specifics read below:

(Our Hunt reaches a lot of people we use all forms of advertising;  blogs, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, SL Hunt sites, SL Groups, and of course biggest of all Word of Mouth)
 

*[[ We want this to be as easy and as fun as possible for the designer and the hunter.  If there is anything you need or have for us to improve on let US (Naiya Valeska,Ulrich Nansen) know! ]]*

HARD ALLEY BRINGS YOU "HARDCORE SEVEN SINS" HUNT (HSS)

(HARDCORE IS THE BRAND NAME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HUNT BESIDES THE BRAND :) )
 

Break down of the Seven Sins: 

First, let's familiarize ourselves with the sins before we go any further...

1. Lust: Is an emotion or feeling of intense desire in the body (Most people when they think of lust the color red comes to mind because red signifies romance sex love its a very powerful color).

2. Envy: Is best defined as a resentful emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement or possession and wishes that the other lacked it (People acknowledge Envy with Green or rather Green with envy).

3. Vanity/Pride:  is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others.A person may be proud without being vain. Pride refers to an inflated sense of one's personal status or accomplishments. (Vanity is close to the colors purple/violet of course it would be, Purple is a royal color).

4. Wrath: Is also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger ( Most people Mistake wrath to be connected to red when wrath is a deeper form of red almost black but it is also connected to flames as flames have wrath with no path so the colors I see connected to wrath is Umber/orange Burnt colors).

5. Sloth: Is being physically and emotionally inactive. Sloth can also indicate a wasting due to lack of use, concerning a person, place, thing, skill, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement, or support to continue to exist. (the color blue represents sloth blue has a meaning of sleep,serenity,peace,twilight so closely related to sloth).

6. Gluttony: Is over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items to the point of extravagance or waste (Usually Gluttony is  represented by orange but in this case I think its better represented as pink/peach the sin is also related to the animal pig).

7. Avarice/Greed: Is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. (the best color that represents this sin is yellow/gold the color of riches).

All this Info may not be 100% but working with what I have found this is as close as it gets the picture below is one I found on the internet I edited to say colors and I will explain why in the Requirements section:



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Hunt Info:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

*[[ THIS HUNT WILL BE HUD AND SCRIPT BASED BUT THE ORGANIZERS AND SCRIPTER HAVE ACCESS TO RESET EVERYTHING SO DESIGNERS WILL NOT BE BOTHERED TO RESET THEIR OBJECTS.  IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THE HUD/ SCRIPTS/OBJECT CONTACT NAIYA VALESKA OR ULRICH NANSEN. ]]*
                             

 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Requirements:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All of the objects in this hunt either must represent a sin or the color of the sin in the picture above.  You can, of course, expand the palette to lights and darks of those colors or make something that has to do with the actual sin.

I need a picture of what you made/have for the hunt.  No excuses.  I have to approve everything has to do with a sin and please expand upon the sins (I know a lot of people want to do Lust but get creative.)  The FIRST of each of the seven sins I receive are the first 7 people in the hunt LINE UP.  Keep that in mind!  (Also keep the men in mind.  They love hunts, too!)
 

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::RULES:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1- By sending ME your application YOU are saying YOU will participate and follow through. ( I understand Real Life comes first and things happen, but this is a commitment and if you can't be committed, please don't send me an application.)  I don't want to be chasing people down, if you need to drop out and it cannot be helped, just please send me a note-card.  :)

2- Absolutely NO Business-in-a-Box. No Freebies. Nothing over a year old. Remember YOUR gift represents YOUR store, not the hunt. This is free advertisement that will reach a large number of open-minded individuals and we want them to enjoy your gifts.

3- The signs are to be put out as soon as you receive them. It only takes a minute to place a sign out, so no excuses! A week after I send the sign to you I will be visiting stores and checking that the signs are in place.

4- The day of the hunt. I will be doing a run-through of the hunt myself, so if you can put your gifts out the night before (or the morning of). If you know you are not going to be around for a few days, then putting it out SOONER is better than TOO LATE.

5- All gifts should be packaged in a way that the hunters receive it in a folder with the next landmark, the gift, and your own landmark. PLEASE ensure your folder is numbered correctly. Also [not required] but men also love to hunt, so if you can make/put in Unisex gifts where possible (or male and/or female gifts) that would be helpful...but again, not required.

Cumming Attractions!

Hard Alley has a lot planned for the rest of the year!  As we move into October and Halloween approaches, you'll see the Alley streets decorated for my favorite holiday.  We have plans for a Masquerade Ball as well as the 7th Annual Halloween Party (held in the Hard Alley Cemetery).


In November, the latest Hardcore Hunt starts, featuring the 7 Deadly Sins.  Our beloved Hunt Mistress, Naiya Valeska, will be coordinating the hunt which will use a new and improved Hunt HUD by Innovation Corp.  This new HUD incorporates a lot of the suggestions made on the original HUD and it's sure to be a great asset to all hunters!  Follow this blog or join the Hard Alley Gang group to keep up to date on the latest information!



December turns the Alley white (with SNOW, you perverts!) for Christmas!  We always have a blast through the holidays, so be sure to make Hard Alley a frequent stop on your SL trips!

By the way, we hit 50,000 Photostream Views on the Hard Alley Flickr account!  Thanks to all of you who visit and check out all the pervy pics I upload!
