Hare Force One: Raiinbow Bunny Bla2t

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-04-2010, 10:54 PM

This is a collaborative project in which stuffed rabbits travel between forum members, inspired by the Con-Air bunny's journey in Homestuck. Each participant will have an opportunity to perform their own grisly modifications on the bunny, and write their own heartfelt, sentimental letter to be sent with it. It has provided great opportunities for members of the community to work together, and enjoy friendly good times by meeting in person.

Helpful links:

The original thread. Kazerad was the one to get this whole thing started.

Check out the Map. I'm pretty sure RedMage was responsible for it .

We maintain an awesome blog about this project, check it out too.

Some of us are organizing a MASSIVE MEETUP. Not me though I'm too busy.

Also, we already have over 150 participants, so no new ones can be accepted. Sorry.

Once you have a bunny, you are more or less expected to...

Write a letter to the next recipient (the person you have to send the bunny to). This can be addressed to them personally, and they will get to keep it as a souvenir of their participation in Hare Force One.
Write a general letter to "all future bunny recipients", or something similar. This letter will stay in the box and travel with the rabbit on its journey. By the end of his trip, the bunny's box should ideally have a letter from everyone who had him.
If you have a camera, take pictures of the bunny, yourself with the bunny, yourself chaos dunking the bunny, or re-enacting other MSPA shenanigans.
If you feel so inclined, make some modification to the bunny. In Homestuck this involved adding knitted parts, robot limbs, and overpowered weapons. You probably have your own crazy ideas for this, but make sure they are legal to own/mail, not horribly inappropriate,, and not too heavy without good reason (because of shipping costs)
Once you have written your letters, taken photos, and given the bunny your desired modifications, mail it off to the next planned recipient. It's recommended you don't post pictures of your post-modification bunny so it is more of a surprise when it is received, though you may want to take the pictures anyway in case your modifications are damaged in-transit and you still want to show them off.
Try not to keep the bunny for more than three or four days, a week tops. This thing needs to keep moving it it's going to reach everyone, and we don't want anyone forgetting about it. Sending to the next recipient as soon as possible is preferred.

The current plan is for the bunnies to ultimately be sent to leading figures of our community.

Further details
In order to keep a steady stream of updates and incorporate modifications from a greater number of people, there are seven bunnies. When one is scheduled to arrive in your general area, organize with the other people in the area. Confirm who is sending to who, and once you have done so PM your address or postbox to the person who will be sending the rabbit to you. Depending on your proximity to other forumites (and your willingness to meet INTERNET STRANGERS), the bunny can either be mailed to the next recipient or exchanged in person.

Itineraries as of 12/2/10:

Woot! Getting this thing DONE!

Reading through the rules again, I thought it was funny that there's a mention of a 3-4 day time limit with the bunny, when it's actually been more like 1-2 weeks. n_n' I don't think ANYONE has kept the bunny for less than 4 days (excepting those who have been able to do in-person meets and whatnot). XD

**RLabs** · 08-04-2010, 10:58 PM

Awesome!

By the way, I sent the bunny off to Shad yesterday.

**Avi** · 08-04-2010, 11:00 PM

haha whoops didn't mean to steal Solaris' thunder
Nothing stops you from changing the thread title later on ;)

Guess I'd better get back to work on my DC/MD adventure recap...You wonder if any other kid has as many photos and videos as you. You DOUBT it.

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-04-2010, 11:02 PM

Once things have gone on for longer, we can draw up a more accurate estimate for how long one can expect to have the bunny.

**Solaris** · 08-04-2010, 11:03 PM

This is beautiful.
Everything is beautiful.
By the way, we got to the part in the fight where our shirts got ripped off and we were wrestling when you flipped the coin.
Whether this is a good thing or not is up to you.

**Avi** · 08-04-2010, 11:10 PM

**Solaris** · 08-04-2010, 11:19 PM

Yes, that is the exact moment in our fight.
I am surprised that you were able to recreate it from a perspective other than yours.

**dragonpaul99** · 08-04-2010, 11:39 PM

Has Madmuffin actually sent the bunny out yet? It seems like he's had it for a couple of weeks now.

Sorry I took so long, I guess I burnt out all my decisiveness in the first week there.

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-05-2010, 01:41 AM

Should "en route" be a part of the itineraries? It gets a bit awkward when a bunny is taking a while to arrive and it looks like the last person to send it hasn't done so. If enough people think it's a good idea, that'll be the next thing I fix.

EDIT: Okay, that's done. Now, should I put question marks next to people who asked to be removed from the lines?

**JacobXanth** · 08-05-2010, 02:25 AM

Go for it.

**Shad** · 08-05-2010, 02:27 PM

I have just explained to my father why the box I am currently holding will contain a tripped out rabbit.
I have the yellow bunny.

EDIT
THERE IS SO MUCH TAPE. I am having trouble opening the box. I am laughing so hard.

**madmuffin** · 08-05-2010, 02:28 PM

GREEN BUNNY SENT.

Gog damnit I don't know what took me so long but I finally got down to it and the package is in the post office. They said it should be roughly five buisness days to arrive.

Tracking number is 0075 5820 1887 apparently, but I might be reading this receipt wrong.

The Green Bunny is now headed Kite-ward!

**RLabs** · 08-05-2010, 02:35 PM

Shad I apologise for the shitload of tape! (Also for writing Mr. Shad on the box :P)

**Shad** · 08-05-2010, 02:37 PM

RLABS YOU ARE THE SWEETEST THING.
THIS LETTER sob asdfas.

Also, I was opening it at the wrong end. I notice that other people have tried to do this as well.

EDIT: asdfg FORUM. Forum.
Why are you so nice. These letters. THESE LETTERS. I hope you all know that you have made me cry, but in a totally good way.

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-05-2010, 02:56 PM

Map and itineraries updated. Shad, you should look into sending the bunny to wes instead of me. Unless things change drastically over the next few days, I'll be nowhere near the yellow bunny.

**Shad** · 08-05-2010, 02:58 PM

Yess yes I was just checking that. This is an unfortunate event, however I suppose there is little we can do at this point.

AND WES Yes. I don't see them on the map, but I will send them a PM in a bit, I guess?

**RLabs** · 08-05-2010, 03:04 PM

Okay now that Shad has the bunny I'm posting my stupid Moon Logic Puzzle here. In order to save the challenge for people who are getting the puzzle in the future (I wrote my letter on the back) if anyone makes any progress it would be nice if they spoiler-tagged it I guess.

Two hints: one of the characters that can be found in the word search is "lord" as in English, though I didn't have enough space to include the whole thing. Second is that the final solution mentions the name rlabs and that you're going to need something on the internet to get the solution.

Did I mention the answer is stupid and convoluted yet? If you don't feel like doing the whole convoluted thing you can just do the word search bit.

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-05-2010, 03:15 PM

Shad, don't PM wes. The map order was changed a while ago, moving wes down the line a few spaces, but the itineraries weren't updated. I'll fix that up ASAP.
The next recipient for the yellow bunny should be KumaZone.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

**KumaZone** · 08-05-2010, 03:27 PM

FFF GUYS
I need to leave for a trip on saturday, I'll be gone for 4 days
Can Shad please hold onto the bunny for a little while longer?

**Lieutenant Fish** · 08-05-2010, 03:46 PM

paperandpencil and RedMage both live in the same general area as KZ, Shad can send the bunny to one of them.

CRISIS: AVERTED.

I weeded out some of the easy parts of rLabs' puzzle, and found a few potential red herrings.

Spoiler'd for spoilers:

**mezzoEmrys** · 08-05-2010, 06:47 PM

Wow new thread

**Gennom** · 08-05-2010, 07:39 PM

This project is going exponentially more awesome every time i look at it. Looking at the updates makes waiting for the purple bunny (i'm at the end of the line) worth it.

**charcharmunro** · 08-05-2010, 08:01 PM

And I still have yet to get the bunny.
