Setup Deadline Passed... Shops being replaced

We will be doing a bit of reworking on the hunt order over the next 22 hours as we have a few shops that will need to be replaced. I set in place some very simple rules for this hunt, a timeline to help keep everyone on track, and deadlines that were put in place to ensure things would go as smoothly as possible. One of those rules was that every shop had to have one person in the hunt vendor group for the duration of the hunt. This is not because I want to take up one of your precious group slots (goodness knows I have to juggle groups enough on my own to understand it's difficult to do this) but because with 160 vendors, it's not feasible for me to try to personally keep every vendor up to date with all that doing a hunt entails (sign changes, lm changes, walk through results, and so forth). I am rather disappointed to find tonight when going to check last log ins for those who had not responded (fully expecting that they had not been online, or they had and maybe notices were not being delivered).

To those vendors who left the hunt group, I am not sure why you would do that and plan to take part in the hunt, however, I was clear on this rule. I wish you each all the best, and I have no hard feelings or ill will toward you, however, I must remove you to ensure the integrity of the hunt. I plan to do everything possible to make this hunt run smoothly for all of the hunters as well as for all the vendors who have worked hard on gifts and set up as instructions required!

Happy Building,
