Merchant Rules



This page is a work in progress and may be changed/updated without notice.

——————————————————————————
MOVING 
If you move without notice, you will be dropped from the hunt. Without notice.
——————————————————————————

==If you do move, a notecard is included in the welcome kit and also the final kit. We always need both your SLurl as well as the LM.
==Please never send a loose LM or IM us to say you moved.
——————————————————————————
PRE-HUNT
——————————————————————————

-WALKTHRU- We no longer do a walkthru

-SIGN- Your hunt sign must be displayed upon receipt. If, for some reason, you need to wait (ie: very limited prims) you must send a NOTECARD to the lead organizer explaining this or you risk being dropped from the hunt. The creator must place sign and hunt item

-GROUP-  Group join is mandatory. You or the person you specified must join the group or you risk being dropped from the hunt.

-HINTS- Hints are mandatory. Even if you say “No hint given” or “No hint needed” we must have something to place on the blog for your store. If you fail to supply one, you are giving us full permission to create a hint for your store. It will be a very easy hint.

——————————————————————————
HUNT IS ON!
——————————————————————————

-IMPORTANT-
Changing the name of your hunt item, except to correct your store's name or add gender designation, WILL result in the exact location of your hunt item being disclosed to hunters.

-DO NOT ALTER HUNT PRIM-
Please do not recolor, retexture  or rename the hunt item. Resizing is usually ok if it is minimal. Tiny hunt prims are a no-no. DO NOT remove our script. Do not set the item for sale. Just hide it and place the gift(s) inside.

-ITEM HAS NEXT LM & GIFT ONLY-
Please do not place anything in the hunt item except your BOXED gifts and the next store's LM. Your own LM must be inside your boxed gift. You may place multiple gifts in the same item.

———————————————

-HIDING THE ITEM-
    -Mini hunts within your store are no longer acceptable.
 
    -You may, of course, still hide male and female gifts separately. You need to supply separate Male and Female hints AND tack "male" and "female" onto the end of your hunt item's name.

    -Hiding the item inside a prim is not okay. The hunter must be able to see it by looking or camming, but not into other objects. Having a little corner of it sticking out is not acceptable.

   -Hiding the item outside the store is only okay if you sell merchandise outside the store (such as garden or outdoor furniture store) and its never okay to put it on the roof or out a window, etc. Please hide fairly.

    -Changing the name of your hunt item, except to correct your store's name or add gender designation, is unfair, is against the rules, and it WILL result in the exact location of your hunt item being disclosed to hunters. If you want to do this, please join hunts that allow it. We don't.

    -Please remember that Area Search is NOT cheating. It is a tool built into viewers some hunters choose to use and the fact that we don't like it doesn't make them cheaters.


-HIDING M/F SEPARATELY-
You may hide male & female gifts separately if you give a male hint and female hint and items must have MALE or FEMALE added to the name of the prim. Example "001 CCH4 - Kastle Rock FEMALE"



———————————————
-NO COPY GIFTS-
Again, using a give once script is NO LONGER ACCEPTED.


-CONSIDER IN-GIFT PIC-
Try to provide a pic of your gift INSIDE the box. The chances of your gift ending up in the trash quadruples if the person has to wear it or find a place to rezz it to see what it looks like.


-IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE-
You are agreeing in our applications to provide a male and female or unisex item. Having only a dress as your hunt gift will get you a warning nc. Do it again and you will no longer be accepted to a Kastle/Electric hunt.

-DECOYS-
    -We do not allow visible decoys. You can have as many invisible decoys as you want. Feel free to rename walls and floors. An example of the item on the sign, not for sale, is perfectly fine.
    -No item having the same name as the hunt item is allowed in your store set for sale. Any item renamed to thwart area search must not be for sale. (waves to Bear :)

-CANT BE ON TIME?-
We do understand that things happen and you might not have the gift hidden exactly at midnight. For most people this should happen no more than once. Kindly inform the organizer right away via nc, and place a hunt item on your sign for $0 (remove script and set for sale selling contents) with next LM inside so hunters can continue on. Use your hint giver or hover text to explain your store has no gift. Inform us as soon as your gift is out. (You will be dropped after a couple of days.) Again, this is a situation that should only happen once, and it should be extenuating circumstances.
