It's off and running

Well the Diversity hunt finally seems to be running fairly smoothly, it has been interesting to say the least.
I have a little list of things to remember if I ever do this again, I tried to think of most stuff, but there is always going to be something that just could not be planned for.
In this hunt what wasn't planned? Lets see, one poor shop owner (and now friend) had the rental land she was on go to a new owner who was immediately putting in a combat zone, with 3 hours then to move, I am amazed at her organisational abilities. Another poor vendor had a rl accident which meant it was too uncomfortable to even sit at a computer (I do hope they are healing ok).
I did expect some places to be a little tardy in setting up and/or setting up not quite right. However I didn't think there would be too many not set up at all, especially anyone with quite a few entries and apparent interest.

Sadly with the few vendors that were not ready, it caused a few broken links in the various chains, so those keen hunters that turned up right on midnight freaked me right out lol, and of course they did not get the best experience. Have sent those that were in my greater an apology, and a small gift, so hopefully they return and enjoy things now that the bugs have been ironed out. (why do that?, just makes good business sense for all the shops involved)

The buzz with the hunt has been intriguing, Shops have suddenly appeared out of the woodwork wanting to be in the hunt, a small but steady and keen stream of hunters has been turning up and in most of the stores actually browsing and buying, not just doing a quick grab and go. (yay some shop owners are actually getting some money for their efforts)

I regret having to get some shop vendors to mess around changing landmarks so often etc, and I know the hunters are confused at the numbering system (like I had actually planned one of those lol), but thankfully there are some very tolerant and lovely people involved in all this, so I just hope at the end of it everyone thinks it was worthwhile.
