Calling all pilots, all players, all groups and all squadrons....
Hutton needs your help.
Those of you that remember the original CG for the Hutton Mug may remember the adverts and appeals that we put out on the radio show. For those that don't:
MODS - Mug Ownership Deficiency Syndrome is a terrible affliction. For the lack of a mug, millions of people in the galaxy are suffering embarrassing symptoms from space madness to itchy flight suit syndrome and RSI in their trigger fingers. From the lurgy to manflu, from gout to "feeling a bit off today", all these are made better by having a Hutton Mug.
Last year, The Dastardly Don Antonaci - Camorra bad guy and all round evildoer kidnapped some Hutton Truckers and live on stream with Will Flanagan, we rescued them, assaulting his base. We won, but subsequently discovered that he, in his laboratory, had devised a transmissible version of MODS. It's escaped and everyone's at risk.
We've developed a method of inoculating the galaxy against the symptoms and surprise surprise, it involves bringing 1t of special water soluble Hutton Mugs to a station, lobbing them in the water recycling system and frameshift energies of incoming ships do some quantum wibbly bunkum.
So. We have a mission. We're taking ONE Hutton Mug to each and every station in the galaxy. All 54000+ of them. Starting on the 16th.
Whilst I'm sure, as nutty truckers, we'll get that done in short order, we thought we'd invite the community to help. A community community goal... (not a REAL one).
We're using our very own Hutton Helper (details at http://hot.forthemug.com) to track your deliveries and which stations have been cured. It will keep league tables of the most truckery players and we will be awarding Hutton decals to the most utterly truckery out there. It works on PC AND consoles (and is a great example of 3rd party development on the Frontier framework) due to the diligence of our code hamsters. YES, you do need to use either the EDMC plugin or give Frontier permission to squirt us a little data for your deliveries to count - details on that site.
How to join in?
p.s. yes, we know it's very silly.
F.A.Q.
q: Every station? Including outposts, planetary etc?
a: Yes. Everywhere with a commodity market
q: Is 1t enough for each location?
a: We hope so! If you want to go for overkill, maybe drop them some Centauri Mega Gin, too
q: I want to catch up with other commanders. How, where, when?
a: Post on this thread. Hop into our shared teamspeak at server ts.forthemug.com and head for the right "room" for HOT MIST. Keep an eye out for dates, times when people will be onilne to help load you up. Listen to the weekly radio show.
q: How do I see where has NOT got a mug yet? How do I use the Hutton Helper?
a: everything can be seen on hot.forthemug.com - tune in the the live stream next Thurs to find out more.

- Are you in a player group with your own systems and want to save them from a fate worse than Thargoids?
- Are you a solo player who wants to get their name down as the saviour of somewhere famous?
- Always wanted an excuse to go to Hutton, grab a mug and actually DO something?
