Forum Christmas Event 2016 Extravaganza! (WINNERS ANNOUNCED)

[Veeena]

'tis the season to be jolly~

Spoiler: You found a Candy Cane!

# 1: U9NUFQOIXL

Ho! Ho! Ho! It is truly the most wonderful time of the year! Well, it's time once again (horridly) for Christmas. And what is Christmas here without an event for you all to enjoy! This time, it's me and my partner-in-crime, Naru!

This time, instead of presents, we have a new delicacy. Indeed a Curvy Celebratory Concoction of Christmas: CANDY CANES! Speaking of Christmas... I may have 'taken' some things... 'Put them away'... 'Hidden'...

Ah, fiddlesticks, I'll let it out. I took them away and hid them around the forums. And to think it was for the GMod's Christmas party too. I guess that's what happens when you leave memes next to candy canes. Oh well, I need your help once again to recover all the candy canes! Speaking of that, I wonder what this little paper says...

As I said when the presents before had to lack, this time, it's truly good to be back!

It's M4xwell again for your meme-addicted fix, while adding my mate Naru to the mix.

Instead of 13, 12 candy canes to seek. Ah, but read the next, to understand the peek:

A clue shall be posted, every day, every time. That clue shall help your guidance, no reason, no rhyme.

And if you find it in time, I wish you good days, and if not, the riddle will depart from where it lays.

Riddle one shall be below, as the time comes for it. Be good to your hosts, and please stand when you shouldn't sit.

For this standing is in joy, for the ending of fall. Merry Christmas to you, and Happily Holidays for all!

1. For the next 12 days (December 11th-December 23rd), candy canes will be scattered throughout the forums. These candy canes can be in ANY board, with the exception of the Dangan Ronpa, and Testing Grounds boards.
2. Candy Canes will show up daily. In addition, a riddle will be provided to where the candy cane is located. You have 24 hours to find them, after the 24 hours are up they will be swapped out for another one! (Hint: The Candy Canes will always be in spoilers.)
3. If you find a candy cane, record the title of the thread it's in, their number, and the code attached to them! (FORMAT SHOWN BELOW)
4. Starting Dec. 23rd, you should PM your findings to Octavriousa. You have until 11:59PM EDT December 24th, the next day. Winners will be announced the 25th of December.
5. Do not talk about the event anywhere except for in the event thread. However, discussion is limited. Players may not give out hints, links, codes, etc to other players. Usage of multiple accounts are not allowed, either. If you are found doing any this, you will be disqualified from the event.
6. Please be respectful, it's our #1 rule. During the event, should a player receive any type of warning for being disrespectful/harassment, they will automatically be disqualified from the event.
[New 'Rule' for the event. 7. Be mindful of the times when a moderator would post and update the thread. I have seen some off glitches and timing errors recently.]
8. There's a bonus code for those who might miss one, and the post hinting at it can be found here: http://www.blankmediagames.com/phpbb/vi ... 3#p1854823



When sending in your findings, send Octavriousa a PM in the format below:

Spoiler:

PM Topic: [Username] Christmas 2016

Candy Cane Number ~ Location (Thread Name) ~ Candy Cane Code
Candy Cane Number ~ Location (Thread Name) ~ Candy Cane Code
Candy Cane Number ~ Location (Thread Name) ~ Candy Cane Code
...etc.

If you do not follow this format, your results will not count. Please make sure you follow the format when sending in your findings (tildes don't matter, all we require is the number, location, and code).



Available prizes: 1x Boat Load of Swag Bundle, 1x Kickstarter code (Witch), 2x 1300 TP, 5x Rank Flair or user-snow.

For #1-#3, prizes will go to whoever has the most Candy Canes. The prizes go like this:

#1. Flair, snow, choice of BLOS/KS/TP.
#2. Flair AND Snow, choice of BLOS/KS/TP (not picked by #1)
#3. Flair AND Snow, left over choice.


For the 4th and 5th winners, we will be doing prizes similar to Halloween Event 2015. Every candy cane you manage to find, you will get a ticket. If you find 5 candy canes, you get 5 tickets. If you find all 12(there's actually 13 candy canes), you get 12(13) tickets. Some candy canes may be weighted more than other, but the poster/OP will say when it happens. These tickets will go towards the lottery to win a flair. The more tickets you have, the better your chances!

You may ask, why are we doing it this way? This is so new players to the forums aren't at a disadvantage, and if you miss a candy cane or two, you aren't completely out of the running.

Oh and, in case you were wondering, this is what the flair looks like:

Participants cannot win more then once. There will be 5 winners total. If there is a tie for #1-#3, those people will be raffled against each-other for the prizes.

Thank you Naru for doing this event with me!
Thank you TurdPile for approving it and providing KS code!
Thank you PyromonkeyGG for providing BLOS bundle code!

How do you know that wasn't intentional and TrialBot was just trying to find the candy cane in the report users/appeals threads ;D

As M4x told me:

The Candy Canes will only be available to find for one day.
They'll be deleted once the day is over, and a new one will pop up.

[mihail66]

yes

[BS4125]

I always like hunts, this'll be fun

[Alicitzen]

But for real though I cannot wait to sink time into 100%ing this only to lose due to luck.
Or something.

[Jerme]

@Sarah: I doubt if you get 100% you are well likely to be one of the winners. There are difficult riddles in it, and I am told mine would be one of them.

[BS4125]

Question:

Will these Candy Canes be edited into people's posts that already exist or be a part of people's posts who send them
Quite new so bear with

You are a fairy type aren't you? I think I kindly refuse to fight you, as I do not have any poison moves available.

Please prepare for a snarky post in 9 days or whatever.
Or yknow a highly defeated and exhausted "ha" before I collapse and die.
