1.Reason for the HuntVirtual friends banded together to save White Tigers Islands after Stone Vayandar left SL for chemo and radiation treatments. Over the past eight years, White Tigers Islands has provided many venues for entertainers as well as "open mic" events. The hunt is being done to help introduce White Tigers Islands to new people and hopefully raise enough funds to keep the sim alive and the community growing when Stone returns in November.

2. The Hunt’s StoryThe infamous Cap'n Morgan and his crew of pirates have been plagued by bad luck since they stole the “Eye of the White Tiger” jewel. The scuttlebutt among the crew is that the spirit of the White Tiger is watching over this gem. Battle ghosts and storms as you search for the jewel to restore it to its rightful place.
