Bored of grid-wide hunts?
Seeking interesting new diversions in your Second Life?
Looking for new ways to score kewl freebies?
You might have heard a rumour that I'm about to unveil something *big*...
If you'd like to be amongst the first to know more, join the "Lucky Tribe" group, in-world, before 12 Noon (SL Time) Saturday :)
EDIT: The group doesn't seem to be showing in search yet (grrr!) - but you can hopefully get there by looking at the groups list on my profile.
Despite being the inventor of Lucky Chairs, I've never really been much of a "chair hopper" myself... OK, there's maybe been one or two prizes in the Greenies' Lucky Chairs that have been *slightly* tempting, but other than that, pretty much the only time I "play" my own games is when I'm demonstrating them in-store (or, occasionally, when I get pestered by a friend to go and do a Lucky Fortunes test... they're convinced that I have some kind of secret god-like cheat mode installed that makes all the Lucky Fortunes machines like me - NOT TRUE!) ... but other than that, I rarely play any of my own merchandise.
At least... that was the case until a couple of days ago.
Somebody drew my attention to a new-ish in-world group - Midnight Maniacs. They'd run a big event at the start of the month - A "Midnight Mania Lockdown Party" (in essence, they get a bunch of merchants to set up stall with Midnight Manias as the central attraction, and then have several hundred people visit the sim, slapping as many boards as they can). It sounded like a pretty cool event, so I signed up to the group so that I could keep track of when they're hosting the next one.
Well... it turns out that Midnight Maniacs is a pretty lively group (1577 members as I write), and there's a pretty constant stream of announcements of all the latest and greatest MM offers sliding through the chat channel. Amidst all that text, things started to catch my eye. It was a Pirate ship that initially did it. I mean, I don't actually _need_ a pirate ship... especially not a 200-plus prim, full-size, meticulously-crafted pirate ship... but, when the SLURL is sitting right there in front of you, and all you need to do is click on a board when you've reached the destination, you tend to think: "hey, why not... there's nothing to lose; it'll only take a second" ... and the deed is done.
Then somebody mentions a pair of men's boots.... and I could really use some new boots...
So, yeah, I think I might have a bit of a Midnight Mania addiction coming on, and it's an entirely bizarre experience... I mean, I *made* this thing, and now even I'm hooked on using it. That never happens. Dangerous stuff!
Anyway, if you're bored, and want to get fixed up with a Midnight Mania addiction of your own, I'd strongly recommend checking out the Midnight Maniacs group. Alternatively, if you operate a Midnight Mania, and want to pimp your wares to some entirely willing victims... well, now you know where to go :)
Co-incidentally, I've finally got Midnight Mania up on XStreet SL. Of course, I'd prefer it if you bought them in-world, as the Lab already gets a hefty slice of my profits without the added XStreet commission on top... but if you're the kind of person who prefers to shop from the comfort of the web, then the XStreet listing is here.
Easter is approaching... and because it's simply not possible to have TOO MANY sticky sweet treats at Easter time, we've added a new attraction to the Lucky Designs line-up...
That's right - a GIANT PRIZE-GIVING CUP CAKE! What's not to love?
Lucky Cupcakes are a heavily-modified special edition of our popular Lucky Dip game. They feature all the functions of the standard Lucky dip game, plus:
Lucky Cupcakes are available in both standard and copyable editions - check them out at Lucky Designs.

Forgot to post this yesterday... I think my brain was a bit scrambled after a weekend of scripting... anyway, here comes the sales pitch!...
"Prizes for Picks" does pretty much what it says in the ad ... bribe your visitors into adding your location to their profile picks, in exchange for daily freebies! ;)
You load the device with a bunch of prizes, and it'll automatically rotate through the full set - one prize each day, switching at midnight. Any visitor who has your location listed on their profile picks can click on the sign and claim the prize. Offer a series of related prizes (e.g. individual components of a complete outfit) to encourage visitors to keep your pick active for several days, and to come back again and again!
What's the benefit of encouraging customers to add you to their picks? Well, in five simple words: PICKS ARE THE NEW TRAFFIC! Your placing in the SL search results now depends almost entirely on how many SL users have got you nominated as one of their profile picks. If you're not working to optimize your search engine placing, then you're losing customers!
Prizes for Picks give you an edge in the new battle for hearts, minds, and profile picks, and is available right now at Lucky Designs ... get it before your competitors do!
