This is quite fun...or at least I think so. I've set up a little treasure hunt for those who are plain bored to do. The first person to give me the answer to the last clue, on this topic, will win 5 gmail account invites from me for the winner and their friends and a mystery prize. (it'll be good, but I haven't thought of anything good yet)

There are ten clues. Keeping a note of each clue is advisable. Part of it is on the forums, part of it is not.

Don't bother looking on my latest posts, anything on the forums is mainly done by puppets, and anything that isn't is editing posts that I've already made that you won't find in my latest posts.

For some of the offsite things, tere are a few things that you might not understand, if so, google around with some of the terms for the clue you're stuck on.

OK, ready?

Here's the first clue to start you off:

Oo! Watch out, President George W’s subliminal messages are out to make you think that TIN is still here - but in fact, he's been gone for 3 days. Look at the signings.

A nice easy one...have fun! :p

A hint - this one's on the forums. The search function is your best friend. :)



POST IF YOU'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE SAYING SO HERE!

Meh... no one has even figured mine out yet. Good luck though!

Thanks.

Could anyone who's going to do it say so on here please?

Meh... no one has even figured mine out yet. Good luck though!

What's yours? I might give it a try.

What's yours? I might give it a try.

I hide them around here as "easter eggs". Each one has a clue.

Here's one clue. If youcan figure out who my puppet is then everyone will get to see LP in a bunny suit.

Oksana: I need to go now, but I'll try afterwards.

BUMP!

Doesn't anyone want to try this? It's got clues, it's not searching around randomly! Please just have a go.... :)

Sorry, I'm stuck already.

I think I am stuck too.

The fucking search function won't work.
:headbang:

Yeah....I noticed that and thought it would be a problem.

Jjuulliiaann and Israelities et Buddist, you mean you're stuck on the first one? I'll help you to get started.

The clue is: Oo! Watch out, President George W’s subliminal messages are out to make you think Touching is….good? Look at the signings.

Thus that answer must somehow involve "President George W", "Touching is good" subliminal messages and signings. You might want to search for the terms, perhaps if one is in a topic title or a nation name. As for signings, this one's easy enough. What's the equivalent of signings on the forum? And subliminal messages; it's a term I've seen used by mods and members on this forum to relate to something in a post. If they are the subliminal messages of "President George W", then it is likely there is a member called "President George W" who has posted these subliminal messages in a post.

That should be more than enough to get you started.

I'll give hints if it gets too hard.

*unhappy bump*

This isn't too hard, is it? I've seen Generalites work through things like notpr0n with ease when I couldn't get past the third one - this should be relatively easy to them....

Or are they all out celebrating Easter with their families or on Holiday at the moment?

Don't worry, I'll keep this open for a while yet, it's not just for today. Just PLEASE post here if you'll be participating and please just have a go if you're not! I spent a lot of time on this! :(

COME ON! There are prizes too, don't forget that! :(

Here's one clue. If youcan figure out who my puppet is then everyone will get to see LP in a bunny suit.
Who cares ive seen Aerou in a bunny suit! :p
And Funnily enough BAnana Republic is or was a NAtion! :(

Harlesburg, are you going to give this a go? Pweeease?

Haha. Well I wouldn't call seeing Aerou in a bunny suit funny. Besides, I didn't see it so LP is the only hope I have. Banana Republic? What does that have to do with anything?

Harlesburg, are you going to give this a go? Pweeease?
I have a habit of keeping thread locals in/on my computer for weeks i know it would be a could shot to look in the "Nintendo is Dumb thread"-not real name just the truth im looking but might have deated it!

Well who needs funny when you can have cute!
Banana Republic is the best NS name you could ever have!-it would sum up a puppet perfectly! :)

Well, unfortunately I didn't htink of Banana Republic. I hate Banana Republic but I'll assume you like the name because you have a thing about bananas or you're making an innuendo...

Yes. I'd imagine it would be more cute then funny but I did not see it someone better discover my puppet dammit!

Well no i guess i could have a pic of the giant Banana in Coffs HArbour as my Flag?

The Banana Republic is a nation with stupid leaders and is either a Cuba or a Puppet of another NAtion so to have a Nation called Banana Republic would rule!
The Banana Republic and The Banana Republics were gone as well as Banana Republic and Banana Republics. :(

Search function?

Come on, bump bump bump.

What is bump?

What is bump?
It is just like this

BUMP :D


(okay, okay, it's a simple easy post when you want to put a thread at the top of the forum but really don't have anything to say.)

Search function?

Come on, bump bump bump.
But NA said it didnt work? :(
I found the Nintendo is gay thread but no reference to Bush only Micheal JAckson!

We were looking for bush right?

Bush was brought here from Satan himself. He was not created in the image of god but was the unwanted spawn ripped from a woman's loins.

Oh sh*t.....I thought I'd posted on that topic but....oh, damn it.

I'll revise the clue...sorry for that, at last now I know why everyone thought it was so hard.... :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Now it should be easy, and the search function's working now.

BUMP!

Come on, some people get started!

*unhappy bump*

COME ON!!!!!!!!! :mad:

El bumpo.

Oh sh*t.....I thought I'd posted on that topic but....oh, damn it.

Im not going to the 1st page damn it!
What is the New Old Clue?
And of course you dint post there your Puppet did! ;)
Didnt I N get it?

Oo! Watch out, President George W’s subliminal messages are out to make you think that TIN is still here - but in fact, he's been gone for 3 days. Look at the signings.

There. I'll give you another clue, for the hell of it - Oksana should find the answer to the first clue easily.

Bump.

And one final bump for the day....*looks sad*

This is just getting sad now....

In all my time ive been on NS ive only tried to use the search 3 times all 3 times i couldnt get it to work!
Maybe its me i dont it! :rolleyes:

This is just getting sad now....
If it's any consolation, I've been looking all over the place.

Unless you mean "this is sad" as in "it is sad that nobody can find it".

Have you seen the revised clue?

If not...oh, sod it.

Look at the recent topics by Oksana, you'll find one about the TIN man....that should be enough. You'll DEFINITELY find it now.

Harlesburg, I recommend it. For the next clue, although NA will know what its about, I'm not sure if you will. You might need to search - or just ask NA. Or another member mentioned in the clue, although not directly. That's perfectly legal.

Bump.

Doubleplusbump. ;)

Jesus is gone. Give it up :p

I'm an atheist. ;)

Bump.

I'm an atheist. ;)
So? Jesus was a man. You don't believe men exist?

No, I just don't care about him. :p

I do care about the lack or participation! Someone just do this! Please! *looks exasperated*

Anyway, we can't prove that anything other than our minds exist. We could just be brains in jars on Alpha Centuri, or....*goes on rant*

I'm not sure if I'm looking for the right thing :confused:

Is this it?

-work it out yourself!-

So have you?

Evidently not. :(

I don't think anyone's doing this at all.

I did it. I have had no luck deciphering the new clue and finding the next step.

Give people a little time, perhaps.

-work it out yourself!-

Bump.

*sigh*

The film Harold and Maude comes up a lot in this forum.

Ask around a bit about the cult of Harold. Search for twitches.

Found it, but no clue.

-work it out yourself!-

Oh yes, found it.

Hmmm...could refer to posts or nations.

Well, look some more! Search around Jolt! :D

Oh dear Christ. It appears some people really do have absolutely nothing to do! Anyway, I've found the reference, but no clue. Should I look for more posts by this nation? I'm going to do it anyway...oh wait, there aren't any!

EDIT: Never mind - it appears the clue was not as hidden as others. And so I've already found the next clue.

See? It's not that hard. :)

The next clue says 'this is hard', so... ;)

Little help?

Only hard if you don't know it. ;)

Surely you can give a little help to the only person willing to do this.

-work it out yourself!-

That much I had gathered - I'm not that stupid. :)

I think the three words together is a hint, so should I search for a blog called that? I'm going to anyway...

Er...this isn't anything to do with you, is it?

? (http://www.ringgold.org/FMSnewspaper/Testing/thenextclue.html)

Got it! I think it's a bit crap that you have to sign up before you can see the sixth clue, but I was a member anyway so...

Are you Rudi?

EDIT: Ah...the link doesn't work. Oh wait, am I supposed to add something?

-work it out yourself!-

I don't get the hint - it's kind of ambiguous. Do you mean online golf or real golf?

And does each dash represent a letter?

Really quite stuck here.

-work it out yourself!-

Okay, I've got the numbers, but I can't think of a nine letter forum provider.

Never mind, I've got it now.

Great, I'm now a pimp.

Do you mind if we continue this by TG? I don't want others 'hitching a ride', as it were. I'm going to send you a TG anyway, so...

OK. I'll edit my clue Qs.

Anyone else want to have a go, cos South Ossetia's really close to getting those gmail accounts. :D

And hopefully:

(Ha! No-one else is going to see my piccies!)

Congratulations!

(EDIT YOUR POST SO NO-ONE CAN SEE THE PICS!)

South Ossetia has the gmail invites (up to 30, because hardly anyone participated....TG me the e-mails of you & your friends), and the mystery prize...

But I can't think of a mystery prize, so South Ossetia can pick one for him/her, and I'll see if I can do it.

-----

But because the comp wasn't interesting as only 1 person really took part, it's still open to participation, and the next winner will win the prizes as well!

But after that, that's it....so you'd better hurry if you want the prizes! :p

Yay! Granted, it's over a week since Easter, but who cares!

I'd like to congratulate Chinkopodia for putting on this little competiton. It was fun, and I think it's a shame that more people didn't get involved. Same time next year, maybe?

Those who haven't had a go, DO IT! It's very well done!

A mystery prize, eh? What sort of things are we talking about here? I assume I can't ask for money...

BTW, what exactly is g-mail? I have no idea what it is.

It's like hotmail, but it's made by Google.

http://gmail.google.com/gmail

Go here, look at What's New and stuff. It's pretty good, and you can only get it if you're invited by other people (so it's very limited). They used to only give about 5 invites per account, but now they're giving 50.

A mystery prize, eh? What sort of things are we talking about here? I assume I can't ask for money...

I don't know....I'm only 12, so I'm not allowed PayPal or anything, unfortunately. And I wouldn't be able to give much. :p

Something along the lines of giving you something limited online...say a Global Mod position on a forum I'm an admin on (it's not very interesting and full of people my age and younger, so probably not).

That could be quite fun. To be honest, I did the hunt for something to do, not for the prize, so I'm not really that bothered. I'll have the Global Mod thingy.

OK. And for the gmail, TG me with the e-mails of you and whoever wants invites.

EDIT: I'll TG you the address of the forum.

Anyone want prizes?

Nobody does. :(

Let it friggin' die!

Sorry to sound cruel, but if people cared, they would have responded

OK.....it's just I'm a bit reluctant. I spent a long time on this, and South Ossetia does agree that it's well done...someone just needs to give it a go. How about you? You want me to just let this die, why don't you actually have a go first?

I'm waaaaay bad at these things. I never figure them out. That's why.

Now let it die

No. Try it first. :p

No! :rolleyes:

Do us all a favor and let it die

And just for the statistics: you made 50 out of 90 posts. About half are bumps.

*cries*

My life is a lie....

Hey i tried it was too difficult to understand!
