Newsflash:   Bobo is the Easter Event Manager                                               Newsflash:   Bobo is the Easter Event Manager
From 15 Feb Guild Mail from Hurricane60:
Temporary Leaders position as Events Manager.

Easter is not far away and, as usual, I would like FRE to help one another get the most useful things from the event.  In the past we have held a variety of competitions and draws.  Of course all the leaders will help and do events, but If you fancy helping us to organise FRE's response to this event then we would love to hear from you.

As a Temporary leader you would be able to send guild mails to everyone in the guild and to chat with officers about your plans in the "Officer" chat tab.

If you are interested in this position then drop us a mail.

Regards    H.

The first few posts in this thread will be used and updated to contain the most useful information that we all find.  Please reply to this post with your suggestion, links and tips.

Preparing for the Event

Quote from: Hurricane60Hello all, There is a new building to be won in the Easter Event, a fancy sort of Egg House that holds Settler population, but the amount it holds depends on how many Quests and Adventures you can do.
There are 5 special Easter adventures that you do with buffs, and you need Herbs to make the buffs.
Now I know a lot of you will have plenty of Herbs but if like me you make a lot of buffs in the Mayor's House you might not.  You will need 375 Herbs to make all the buffs for the 5 Adventures.  So start saving.

Easter Shop
Your spotted eggs from last years event cannot be used in this years event.  (A special event shop will become available later this year, during which you can spend former Easter event eggs ("dotted" eggs).

Easter Residence
Holds 50 to 180 settlers, upgraded with "achievement points"
Finishing Easter quests or playing Easter buff adventures are only two of many ways of collecting Easter achievement points.

Hi all,             This weekends competition is called Letters Ten.

I have placed 20 letters on my island and you have to find them, then put them in the correct order to spell two words
that are used in T.S.O.     Then send me the words in a mail to enter the competition.

Hint's and Tip's :
                          The letters are not upright and are made of roads, some are upper case some lower case.
                          All are leaning to the right, if you tilt your head to the right they will make more sense.
                          The letters are not all the same size, but where I can fit them, zoom in to see them more clearly.
                          One word is 11 Letters and the other is 9 Letters.

Hello all, This weekends Competition is from an idea given to me by gosiafisher.  Thanks gosia

I am going to give you the names of 6 guildies, you need to visit their islands.

kenworthtrucker, Gavona, hurricane, UrsusMajor, ToniSoprano and unicornlinzy.

Then answer 6 questions :    Who has the most of the following items on their island:

White Castles - Villiage Schools - Pirate Residences - Watermills - Frozen Manors - Pumkin Fields.

So the answers should be something like this :  White Castle     = Gavona.
                                                                            Villiage Schools = UrsusMajor.
and so on, though these answers are wrong

All 6 correct entries will go in a draw to find 3 winners of either a Noble or Silo or Pirates Residence

A bonus question for a Whitch Tower if you can tell me who has the highest population limit,
You need to get all 7 questions correct to go in a draw for the Whitch Tower.

Send you answers to me hurricane60 in a mail please, Competition closes 9pm U.K. time Sunday 23/1/15.

Hints and tips : You dont have to count them all, most are obvious.
                       : Do the easy ones first to cut down the names, 3 I reckon

Good luck to all    H.
