Events The MH Golden Week Scavenger Hunt

[M3J]

chibi fail

Noooooooooooooooooooo.

They did pretty well to have come this far, and the riddles were hard (though I forgot what the riddles were <_<). Everyone did a great job, whether in team or individually, so there's no kind of fail, even if someone came in last place ().


Next time though, we may just stick with team since you guys had more fun working as teams.


And good job and congrats to everyone and to winners! Have a stick of pocky on me! \o/

It's strawberry flavor. Don't like it? TOO BAD, NONE FOR YOU!

8. Once upon a time, there was a musical book from the Land of the Rising Sun. Within the book there was a song that told the tale of beautiful princess Ayumi who had been sadly “misunderstood” because of her “first love” and great desire “to be free” of all the oppression she experienced while living in the castle. She had been separated from the only man she had ever loved and the only connection that she had with her great love was a “song for” her, a love song that her beloved had composed for her, a song about their “romance”. And every time the young lady heard the song, the “darkness (in her) eyes” would show just a “little (bit) of (the) pain” she was experiencing in her heart. The song about this princess and her heartbreaking love story along with the highlighted notes will help you find the musical book that will show you the thread you need to find on this quest.

[Iceiphoenix]

BBBro, we made the biggest tie-breaker fail ever.

BBBRO!! WE MADE IT!!!

First of all, a HUGE thank you to Googz! Without you, we wouldn't be here. Although your timezone was kind of awkward, you've been a huge help to Team Chibi, before the teams were split and we were pitted against each other!

Congratulations to all the finalists, especially to Uste, Digi and Hyst!!
And a huge thank you to everyone who participated! It was awesome how there was so much competition between the teams, and I admired all the teamwork that was going on! You guys were great to compete with! Especially Team Angels and Imphystegius! You guys were a huge threat to everyone else, and everyone were all striving to beat you! Good game, guys~!

Last but not least, thank you to all the staff who organized all this and put up with all our questions, PMs and nagging for clues! It was a really fun filled week and it made us completely forget about manga! When the new chapters did come out, I ignored them for about 4 hours or so before I started reading them because I was busy working on the scav hunt!

It'll be fun to have another scav hunt next year as well! Only if it's during the holidays for me... Heh.

 

[Lawl Po Bia]

better late than never
CONGRATZ CHIBIS

You guys honestly surprised! Especially banana! I always thought he was useless, he proved me wrong

 

[saladesu]

I was just editing out all the clues from the threads...

And I must say, I FEEL YOUR PAIN EVERYONE

It was so hard to find every edited post especially when there were pages and pages of stuff <.<

So yeah, seriously, well done everyone, whether or not you made it to the finals or whatsoever, you guys are awesome

Glad to hear y'all had fun and I can't wait to hear your accounts of your scavenger hunt journeys~ (ahem... That means you, Bugz! )
