====Event: Recovering the Unique Green Atrox Egg from the Maffoid====
29 July 2010


"For over a month The Egg has sat in a dark shed out in the middle of the frozen wastes of western Amethera, its position having been pinpointed by a number of adventurous colonists.

It is now time to recover The Egg so that it can begin its journey back to Treasure Island.

This requires the Maffoid threat in the area to be temporarily neutralised.

Three separate hour-long assaults will be launched on the 1st of August, their targets being the Maffoid Leadership Caste that resides in OLA-33.

These assaults will be organised through the Calypso Event System, and entry is free.

Calypso Colonists are invited to join in one or more of the assaults.
The three people who collect the most loot from fallen Maffoid in each assault will each be rewarded with 175 PED for their efforts.

Colonists who wish to participate yet do not wish to engage the Maffoid directly are invited to scout for those fighting and discuss strategies for returning The Egg to Treasure Island.
The results of these strategy discussions will help determine the path The Egg takes on its way home.

If you wish to participate please register at the OLA-33 control tower, located here: 21700, 43250

The nearest teleporter is located on OLA-34 at: 23000, 44200

To avoid last minute complications please register in advance.

The times of the assaults are below and I look forward to seeing you there :)

====Competition: Where did my Egg go!?====
17 May 2010

"My Egg is missing!

It is believed that last Friday someone or something swapped out The Egg for a fake and took off with the real one.

I only learned about the theft when I arrived at the Australia vs. Italy match on Sunday and a fellow team member, Addz, informed me that my pretty Green Atrox Egg has been replaced by a rather small imitation decorative egg.

Worst of all this imitation egg isn’t even the right colour!

By now whoever or whatever has taken The Egg could be anywhere on Calypso.

Thus I require assistance from the community in locating my Egg and finding out who or what is responsible for taking it. The thieves will then be dealt with appropriately [IMG]

I am offering a 50 PED reward for information on, and visual confirmation of, the location of my Egg.

The first person to post visual confirmation (a screenshot) of The Egg in this thread will receive a 50 PED reward.

NOTE: This offer is also on another community forum and a single avatar may receive at most one reward (i.e. if you post in this and the other forum thread you will only win once).

IMPORTANT: The screenshot of The Egg must clearly show your avatar name and the current date and time in the chat window.
You may obscure other details such as the balance of your PED card and the other content in your chat window.

CLUES: At present the only clue available is that whoever or whatever stole The Egg has likely gotten tired of carrying it around (The Egg is rather heavy after all) and has put it down somewhere.

Further clues may become available after I review security footage from the suspected time of theft and debrief my lazy egg guards.

In the meantime please help find my Egg!

Update: You are encouraged to post that you've found the egg even if others have already found it, I'd like overwhelming evidence of the eggs location!

====Visual update:Ahhh the... Decorative!? Egg====
31 March 2010

"A few weeks ago I noticed something unusual when searching for an item in storage.

The Unique Green Atrox egg which I had previously placed, very carefully, in storage to keep it safe looked different – it was smaller, with a very detailed image replacing its previous simple egg image that it has had since being discovered years ago.

A detailed examination revealed that the egg is now contained in a decorative enclosure.

Most interestingly it appears that the enclosure has some sort of shielding system integrated into it. Whether this is to protect the egg from accidental damage, or to protect us from the egg, is not immediately obvious.

For now I have placed the egg in the courtyard of my mansion, near Treasure Island’s central teleporter, as a safety measure – I do not know what the quality, or purpose, of the eggs new shielding system is and I’d rather it be out in the open if it was to catastrophically fail.

Other than its new decorative look there have been no other observed changes even with the recent re-appearance of unusual Atrox species.

I’m fairly confident that those didn’t come from the egg as there was no mini-Atrox running around storage trying to bite my arm off when I took the egg out

The mansion remains publically accessible and visitors to the island are more than welcome to take a look at the eggs fancy new enclosure

If you don't want to trek all the way over to my house you can take a look at the pic on my website.

Enjoy,
Deathifier"

====Egg bought by Deathifier====
06 February 2010

"To the great surprise of the Calypso community I bid on and won the Unique Green Atrox Egg that Neverdie placed on auction recently, paying 696969 PED for it.

I have watched with interest the comments surrounding the auction, the speculation afterwards, and the press releases from Neverdie and First Planet Company (FPC).

Whilst disbelief that I would buy a seemingly useless egg for such a large amount of PED is understandable, the transaction is legitimate – I won the auction, I now own the egg and Neverdie now has a large pile of PED.

Claims that the transaction was just a publicity stunt, that I received part of the purchase price back, or that the transaction included some share of Neverdie’s companies, are all false.

I also do not know what will hatch out of it, and neither does Neverdie.

I do, however, believe that whatever hatches will be unique and interesting, and unique is a valuable label to have in a virtual world whose lifespan will be measured in decades :)

I also believe that FPC has had an “egg plan” for quite some time now and that the effort required to produce VU10 delayed its implementation.
With VU10 done I believe that they may now have time to complete their plan, and I purchased the egg hoping that whatever happens to it will happen this year or early next year.

It was nice to learn what Neverdie will be using the money for – for him the egg has hatched into a tidy profit with which he will fund his next big hit on the dance music scene, “One More Crazy Summer” by Cheri Moon.

I wish Neverdie and Cheri all the best with their endeavours, they sound like a lot of fun :)

For us on Calypso the egg remains shrouded in mystery, waiting silently for whatever trigger will hatch it.

See you around Calypso!

====Competition:What is in the Egg?====
30 October 2009

"In July 2006 I acquired the fabled Unique Green Egg of the Legendary Atrox Queen. Tens of Thousands of Avatars form all over the world had hunted for the Egg over the course of a few months and when it was finally found, no one seemed to know what to do with it. Sensing a mythological opportunity I paid 100,000 PED ($10,000 USD Cash) for this mysterious Virtual Treasure...

To Everyone's Amazement, this vibrating Egg confounded expctations by not hatching and as the months and Years passed, speculation gave way to disbelief and finally to Mythology...

Even an Expression was born that has found it's way into the Virtual pop culture lexicon

"Ahh the Egg....."

Which can be roughly translated as "I wish I knew, but even if I did I wouldn't be able to tell you, so i will just blow smoke up your ass instead"

Hints and Clues, portends and Omens have been interpreted by many and thier is reason to believe the great Mystery of the Egg may soon
be revealed..

There have been a Million Guesses as to what might hatch and to celebrate the Closing of one Chapter virtual world history and the start of another Era, I would like to invite anyone to post thier guess in this Thread...

No Editing of guesses will be permitted so please take your time before you post. Also only one guess per person...

When the mustery of the Egg is Finally Revealed, the guess that comes closest will be rewarded with 5000 PED ($500) in the Event that two or more guesses are very close an open Polll will be held to determine the Winner by Vote...."
