All right. Ninja-Lady convinced me to do so:

Welcome to the 2008 Agricola Easter Egg Hunt (AEEH 08).
As you know, there will be 24 new cards in the Z-Deck booster pack.
Meh-lissa and YT started dropping hints about cards that you'll find on several places on the internet.
(Not just on BGG, we endorse diversity)

So, with a deadline of Easter Monday 11:11 am GMT, you can participate in the AEEH 08.

Rules:
* One entry total per person. Period.
* You score 1 point each for naming one of the new cards
* The first one to submit a correct answer to one of the 24 cards receives 3 bonus points
(So it's up to you if you want to score bonus points for being the first one to name a card or if you want until the deadline to find out more card names)
* Max 12 occupations and 12 improvements per entry
* Meh-lissa decides if the entry matches. So if you submit "Salami burrito", but the real deal was "Salami pizza", you really need to hope she likes you that much. If you submit "taxi driver", but the correct answer was "taxidermist", you might score even less.
* You can send your entries in Deutsch, English, French, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Korean and/or Dutch. You don't score twice if you know (for example) the French and the Dutch name of that card. Again, it's up to the Ninja lady.
* No need to tip Meh-lissa. She's an admin and has tons of GeekGold. I don't.
* You're ineligible if you had access to the cards or if your name is "Dale Yu"
* No right to appeal the judges' decisions.

Prizes include animeeples hand-painted in pink by Meh-lissa, Agricola in languages you probably have never heard of (if you didn't read the list above) and random Lookout Games' games.
Send your entries to aeeh08@lookout-games.de starting ... now.

edited for Easter Egg.

What?! I'm being discriminated against! I demand the right to appeal to the judges! Unless I'm one of the judges, that is.

That was easy. Anyone would think you were the Village Bike Beauty or something.

That means quicker than the original copy of the game Hanno :kiss:

My passport is up to date, so I could come over and pick them up if that would make it easier :cool:

Well if it makes you feel better - I could ban you instead - to keep this from becoming a domestic issue at home!

It is possible that others associated with the game may be hiding clues in interesting places.

Second Leaderboard
No first blood points for Dave Duffield, but Melissa ended up with awarding him 1.5 points.

So the new leaderboard is:
1. Nathan_Canada........ 4 points
2. Dave Duffield...........1.5 points

Watch out. Some eggs are real easter eggs. :-)

Well... I suppose that I have become associated with the game. I'm inferring that by the fact that I've been disqualified from winning!

But where would I hide clues? It's not like I write a weekly column or post things here on BGG...

Happy hunting...

New scoreboard
7 of the cards have been named, and we have a new leader!

Boltongeordie.............15 points
Schlotto.....................9.5 points
Nathan_Canada............4 points
Doc_Adam....................4 points
Dave Duffield.............1.5 points
Kevin Rutherford........0.5 points

So how to score half points?
Well, sometimes, an entry is pretty close to the card, but still not quite correct.
In this case, Ninja lady awards half a point that does not qualify for first blood bonus.
(Example: If the card name was "Uncle Crimbo" and you said "Uncle", you'd score 0.5 if Ninja Lady likes you.)

I cant hold off posting any longer. There have been no updates for a week and a half. Does that mean no entries (everyone saving them up for the final day) or just no updates? I am on tenterhooks (I believe they are in the Z-deck somewhere) over here.

I was waiting for the last moment to make sure I didn't miss anything... I should be submitting my entry in not too long. I sure don't have 15 however!! No idea how you made that, so feel free to share once the contest is over!

The last 2 weeks have been rather too busy for me, so I haven't really had time to go hunting :(
I still want to see all the answers though.... :D

Hehe. I'd love to but I really should go downstairs and do some Easter Egg Hiding before a certain 5yo does a Mr Chocolate-Creosote impression!
