Welcome to the second of a series of games to give you another chance at the enormous Advent prize pool: my Easter Egg Hunt. Please enjoy my cheesy pictures and feel free to post your own.

An Easter Egg is a special prize or clue that is hidden away, and you must search for it. This game involves a series of Eggs hidden around the site, that lead you Scavenger-Hunt style to the final Egg.

Rules and Considerations

• Do not share the locations or hints to locations of Eggs with anyone else
• Do not give the final clue to anyone else
• Winners of previous Advent Forum Games will not receive prizes for subsequent games, but are welcome to participate. So, if you won a prize for the Crossword, and are one of the first three to reach the end of this Hunt, you will not receive a prize (except my adoration and congratulations). The prize slot will still be open for another winner.
• If you get stuck, you may PM me for assistance, and I can help point you in the right direction. If this is abused, I will decline giving hints.
• Again, do not bother to ask Scot for hints or clues, she does not know them.

Hints

• All Eggs are hidden in posts made by me
• They will not necessarily be the first or last post that I made in a thread
• There are over 20 Eggs hidden
• All Eggs lead toward the prize, there are no false trails

The Prizes
There are three slots for winners of this competition, which will be given to the first three players to find the final Egg. The prize will scale based on how long it takes for the first person to find the final Egg. So, if you want to metagame, you can hold off on your final Egg to make the prize bigger, but risk someone else finding it before you and taking first place.

The Prize Scale
Each winner will receive the same prize in pure NP, with a bonus prize for the first person to complete the hunt.

Less than 24 hours: 1-2 mil
24 to 36 hours: 2-3 mil
36 to 48 hours: 3-4 mil
Over 48 hours: 5 mil
(First player completed the hunt in less than 1 hour! The prize is 1 mil for each winner)

The Winners
Drakonid
soul__stealer
DoNotAnnoyMe
MoNiRyu
bleedingskulls
Bone
moragor
silentqueen
Stitches
Ashlee

All winners please PM me links to two trades so that I can send you your prize.
Thanks everyone for participating! Keep an eye out for the next Advent Forum Game

But first, this song is awesome. I really want to post somewhere that I am listening to it. Where is that thread?

[Drakonid]

[nyquil]

Meh, got stuck and gave up. Congratz guys and goodluck everyone else

[Nymh]

We have our first 3 winners!

First place: Drakonid
Second place: soul__stealer
Third place: DoNotAnnoyMe

I will edit the first post ASAP to include the winners. You will all receive 1 mil, with Drak getting a bonus prize.
Please pm me two trade links so I can get your winnings to you later today.

Also, since this went by so fast, and some people didn't even get the chance to see the thread, I am opening it up to seven more winners!

Keep looking!

Highlight Nymh's text here to find the hidden message. What I've quoted has the words "Easter Egg" hidden. Do you see?
She has given us clues in her posts, and you follow those clues around the forum until you find them all.
It took me a while to understand, but when you find the first clue, it's like a HUZZAH moment. I've gotten stuck with a few clues, and have gone looking in the wrong places for the next ones, but it's fun!

Of course, you have to be somewhat active on the forum to understand where the clues are taking you. If you haven't read any topics within the last few months, you'll never win

.

[Robin]

and How do you know, that you're on the right track? Does it say: "You found the next step!" when I come to the page I found? Or could every User on Codex do such a "Race"? (So there is nothing about Coding a Page, or for example the Item DB?)

[Nymh]

We have two more winners!

MoriNoRyu and
bleedingskulls

There are still five chances for 1 mil NP so keep looking!

All of these hints will be found in posts that I have made on the forum. You will know you have gone to the right place if you find another hint

Congrats to our sixth winner, Bone! Only four slots left!

[Silentqueen]

Hi,
I PMed you about 4-5 hours ago..

[Nymh]

Hi,
I PMed you about 4-5 hours ago..

Yes, but the eggs that you found were not related to this contest. Try beginning your search with this thread. Each Easter egg will be a clue to lead you to the location of the next Easter egg.

[Stitches]

PM Nymh and say, “Give me my money, woman!” But make your font pink.

I know that I changed the wording to some of these as I typed them into their hiding places, but I didn't update my document when I did that, so these are the originals.

[Drakonid]
