there is no loving treasure for gods sake

The treasures exist. They might have been cemented over or destroyed in construction by this point though, and the gem it leads to has already been taken.

I'm sorry I have to ask this, but is it some kind of running in-joke that nobody is just going places with shovels and putting them in the ground? All this talk of permits and earth temperature and quality - is that just some meta-joke that developed in this thread?

The casks are buried near landmarks so digging them up legally does need a permit. The other stuff is a injoke yes.

they haven't posted since 2015, i thought they just quit in shame

there is the off chance they're actually dead, which would be a decent excuse for welching

They probably just bought another account.

Buy the tickets on a credit card and pay the balance by hocking the gem you'll get for finding the casque. It's worth at least $1000, or so they say.

The gems the casque correspond to are long gone.

I wonder if xie died irl? Although it would be funnier if he literally stopped posting due to shame.

Probably just bought another account.

Or they've all been chewed up by industrial graders but how many parks have the budget or need to extensively chew up the land to replant or reseed it?

Even if they stayed relatively undisturbed wouldn't the casks be mostly crushed to dust by now?

Have you brain geniuses solved it yet?

It's probably been solved for 5 years, it's just that no one wants to risk a fine digging it up.

Isn't $2500 at stake? Announcing that you've found it and even giving details of the location seems kinda dangerous before you actually dig it up. Someone else might be close and you've given them the solution.

Holy poo poo a casque was actually dug up. As expected it's just shards of pottery at this point, but still.

How has this thread been going for over 10 years and we’re only hearing of the Japanese version now?
