No, the solutions to the new hunt aren't attempts at solving the old hunt, they're just the theme and serve as waypoints. Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 15:12 on May 29, 2018 |

Okay didn't sound like that but still theres pages and pages of people talking about their "solve" and by definition solving something means results not ideas.

Yeah, it's the worst/best. The Travel Channel special brought out a special influx of new participants, many of which bear mental illnesses that are tragic, but entertaining to watch solve a dissociative puzzle. Then they all fight with each other over who is definitely correct. Quest4Treasure is borked in that it isn't approving new registrations automatically, but for a while there it was a really fun shitshow to watch.

Drunk Nerds posted:Alright, this is good to go starting in under 90 minutes. Per your request, I am having fun. Stuck on 7A, but no discussion in the "Clue 7A" thread yet, so I'm hopefully out front, but it looks like three of us are close in progress. Go sabotage their efforts so we can get a goon victory here. e: I'm hesitant to post on the mildville forums because I was behind other people posting in locked threads ahead of me which inspired me to (apparently) surpass them. I don't need to give the competition any excuse to work harder. Merlot Brougham fucked around with this message at 04:12 on May 31, 2018 |

Paging Drunk Nerds to the thread Still stuck on 7A. I feel I may have slighted myself because I totally brute-forced your earlier cipher clues without actually solving them and I may have lost out on the method to help on 7A. Loved the puzzles though. Once it's over I'd like to share a few highlights with you, if you'd indulge me. Some of them (one in particular) I was so close, and it took me until this morning to figure out. I made it through the rest this evening while I was watching the time span between the smug "first post" nonsense in front of me disappear and then follow behind (as I smugly point out now). As I type though, there's someone caught up to me in 7a, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to win, but I will rest easy knowing I was a front-runner for an ever so fleeting moment at the high end clues, and had a specific one not stumped me for drat near a day I would have been sitting pretty.

Still some good stuff on the board. Also you could still be the first solo player to complete it (the only winners so far were part of a team of 6 working together)

I'd like to rough up the widow Priess a little, nothing major you know, just shove her around a bit, maybe a headlock. I feel like Byron would really get the message in the next realm.

How deep are they? The easiest way to find it would be a 6ft T handle ground probe. You use them to find gas lines and poo poo. You can find anything with those and it doesnt damage the ground, works in clay etc. Just shoot it in the ground every 2 inches or so. You can feel out if its worth digging for.

wa27 posted:I think that counts as finding one Yeah, dude is pretty pessimistic about all solves, including his own. But his solve totally incorporated some well known and new stuff from the verse, It was literally the best solve interpretation in years, and he found a lot of weirdly releifed baked clay, just like the original thing. He's still like "I don't know" which is understandable, but he's pulling out more and more from the dig sit that looks like thats it Next to Montreal and New York, this was the solve that seemed most difficult, so it's good stuff. Also another guy posted some good solve ideas for Milwaukee, and we're just hoping people dig. Interestingly, Milwaukee and New Orleans have been two of the three most hostile sites to people digging (along with NY), so good stuff is happening. Edit: The argumet against the New Orleans find, which is supported by the finder himself (Burnstyle), is that it's on the parade route, so who knows if it's just some random mardi gras poo poo thrown out and stomped into the ground throughout the years. HOWEVER, there are a lot of crazy people working in N.O., more than any other site, and NONE of them that I know of have cited random clay pottery as an indicator, so I think it's veritable Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Jul 24, 2018 |

An honest assessment of where things are is my latest response at Q4T to someone who is "ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE" they know where to dig:"Merlot over at Q4T posted:I think your "Abraham Lincoln" looks more like Aldo Montoya, 100% exact. I've compared it to an old WWF collector's cup I have from that house show I went to in the 90's when they actually had Aldo Montoya on the merch. And my more genuine attempt at a more constructive response: "Merlot over at Q4T posted:I just posted in the latest, latest, latest new thread about New York. Temped in the stylings of Drunk Nerds to just quote this into a new thread about "lets re-think the verses" Tl;DR This hunt is being bombarded by a bunch of chucklefucks who, after having their advertisements interrupted by 10 minutes of oatmeal story on national tea-VEE about The Secret know more than the grizzled vets.
