Cyprom Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Greetings, I am here to present a new type of contest. Credit goes to groomsh for inventing it. I will give a hint here on the forum. It will lead you to a bag which contains a hint to the next bag and a little prize. If you find the bag, POST the exact LOCATION here! This is to prevent abuse. When a bag is found, I will place the next one (they aren't there yet, so don't bother looking before you have informed me). 24 hours after it has been found (read: after I have placed the bag), the hint will go public and everyone can continue with the quest. So, a short revision: A hyperbag has been placed Find it and post the location I will place the next bag and inform you (mentioning your in-game name might come in handy) Decipher the hint and find the next bag, if you do not succeed in 24 hours, the hint goes public The final bag has 3 prizes and no hint Note: The third bag will not have a prize in it (not enough slots). If you find it, post here as you're supposed to do anyway, and I will trade you the prize. Enjoy Here's the hint to the first bag: Wandering through the snow,Crossing the lava, Passing through the stench of death, Why do I risk my life? - Because the prize is waiting on the barrel -- Cyprom EDIT: typo's of course Edited May 28, 2008 by Cyprom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyprom Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Hm, pity you don't give others the chance Ah well... Good luck on the third bag. I might do this contest again with you excluded ^^ (nobody has gotten a glimpse of the hints yet, so it'd still be new) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

extrapolation Report post Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) What kind of hint can't be solved in 24 hours? i am very afraid Edited May 29, 2008 by extrapolation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyprom Report post Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Here's the hint from the bag: <removed> Happy hunting If nobody has found it within another 24 hours, I will post the contents of the previous bags. (This might help in deciphering a part of the current hint, since you know those locations) Meep... I just noticed I have made an error. Sorry about that But still, the hint is public. jaclaw has already got an advantage, and I wouldn't mind seeing someone else with the next bag.
