Before you ask, for the record, at the time of creating this thread, I have seen two Easter Eggs and managed to seize one.
I've been mulling over this, reading the forum threads about eggs in particular. A few questions, and observations perhaps.
* What's up with eggs coming up directly on other click-able things? I lost a yellow egg because it was directly on top of the logout icon! Dang! Others have reported similar quandaries. Is this deliberate, or a browser rendering problem?
* I've been wondering - is the City Map the best place to find eggs? I ask because I wonder how it works in terms of egg-finding. Since when you scroll way in, and then start looking around, the map loads in blocks, right? So does that mean each block of city map loaded is a separate roll for an egg? Or is it just once, when the City page loaded? It would be kind of brilliant for Chedburn to code it this way, to bring more interest to the city map which was pretty clearly worked on a lot by the artist(s).
* Is finding eggs restricted to once per log-on? Because I've never even seen multiple eggs on a single log-on, no matter how long I've been on or how many times I've refreshed a particular page.
* These people reporting multiple egg finds... what the hell are they doing? Could they post their ballpark figure of how many pages/refreshes they've done, because I've done hundreds of page refreshes, and to paltry results.
* In an earlier thread Chedburn said he's directly seeing totals of egg finds and seeing the percentages of the player population that got eggs and how many, which makes me wonder... is he hard-coding a limit of the number of eggs found, or the max number of eggs a player can find before it zeroes out for him? Are we going to see that it will come down to no player will get a lot of eggs, regardless of how much 'work' he might put into searching for them?
* Are there any areas that we know for sure that eggs will absolutely not be found, which might be interesting to know, if it turns out to be something important?
I'm starting to be pretty sure about this. It's been something like three weeks now that I completed "very hard" missions for Duke and gaining "agent status increased" but the dial to the left hasn't budged past 4 bars away from maxing out.
Has anyone else noticed this?
This is a bit disappointing, in my opinion. To hype up missions so much and put in *FIVE* more people past Duke, but just fake-out people with the locked symbol and un-moving mission-completion dial.
So does that mean that Halloween Candy and Energy Can drop on the City Map will be massively boosted so people can find lots of them during Halloween week?
Huh. I guess I'm not doing too terrible even though I failed some missions (fking casino mission and fking timed out travel mission, even though all targets were successfully hit.. bastards). Been some stretches of crappy low-pay missions lately, though.

1) I have searched forum for "mission federal jail" and the search found no topics on it.
2) Yesterday when I accepted the mission, this player was not in Federal Jail, and things proceeded normally for the first hospitalization, despite her toughness: http://www.torn.com/profiles.php?XID=939205
At some point overnight, this player was subsequently placed in Federal Jail despite being two months inactive and the target of an active Mission.
3) I am now in a compromising position. I cannot cancel the mission without losing agent status, I have wasted the initial Energy, and I have lost a day's worth of progress on missions/points (while all relatively small, cumulatively it is a distinct disadvantage)
I would appreciate a resolution to this situation. Thank you very much.

Boy, I really quite enjoyed Halloween and X-Mas Town. The old-timey look would look rather jarringly different from the graphics overhauls recently, I have to admit.
Perhaps I need to ruminate, then suggest a different idea to pull off Halloween and X-Mas...
Hm, normally I used mine roughly once a week if I had them, but now that someone said "save a bunch then use all at once"... I'm liking that idea and I want to try it.
