Haiku Hide-and-Seek - Every second Saturday

The winner is:

Angelof The Scythe

20 Gifts went into his pockets!

The first line directs you towards Echovalds Forest. It worked, the winner found me using that as a general direction. The second line is obscure, but Chkkr Thousand Tail is a rather easily remembered boss name. The third line is a dead giveaway, if you know the story behind Saint Anjeka... if you're the kind of person who actually cares to read an outpost's description.

See you in two weeks, on August the 29th!

pierced by greed?

Missed it again. And this time I was awake and at the computer.

/facepalm

Congratulations Angel

Started thinking about it 5mins after the start, gratz to the winner .

Gratz Angelof. I too missed it watching a film. Woops.

Are you sure the times are correct? Should they be 2 pm PDT / 5 pm EDT / 10 pm BST / 9 pm GMT? Last Saturday I checked the thread at 10:45 pm BST / 9:45 pm GMT and the event was already over.

Whatever time goes with 4 PM Central (which fits the first two times you mentioned) would be the accurate time.

Most Americans mess up the whole GMT/BST etc. thing (just as europeans mess up the American time zone).

You're right, the strict GMT time is only 9 pm at the time of the event. The London local time is 10 pm because of daylight saving, and it's called BST. The other two times were correct, but I should've written PDT/EDT. Thank you for clearing this up. I will now edit the OP and give a full listing of local times for the event.

It is with good reason that I post the reminder-bumpers in the following format: "xx:yy left". The timestamp of these messages should help you figure out your local time for the event.

EDIT: Start times by timezone has been added to the OP. Don't hesitate to point out errors and inaccuracies, I don't want to disappoint any player from any part of the world.

The third one comes 6 hours 25 minutes aftr this post.

10 minutes left.

powder white and black
six have bought it, proud of it
sweet snack culls the roars

(sorry for the little delay, I had connection problems right then )

dont we get a picture...?

The winner is the brilliant:

Countess Reapera

20 well-earned Gifts were handed over to her.

---

White powder? Snow.
Black powder? Gunpowder.
Snow and gunpowder? Somewhere in the Shiverpeaks... Could be Middle, Northern, Southern?

Who are the proud hunters, who boast all the time about their victories? It's the norn, for sure! And where are you called upon to vanquish six of the mightiest foes? In Sifhalla, for sure!

Sweet snack? Could be a few different things, but combined with any of the above clues, it must be honeycombs! Sooo, what's the beast which becomes all timid just by waving a branch with a jar of honey attached to it? It's a bear, for sure! Surely you remember the quest to get Ursan Blessing? If you're a PvE player and didn't live under a rock in these past two years, you must have played a Hunter's Pride. Which happens near Sifhalla, oh those silly norn were so fun to scare off.

Yay! for the first time in my life I've actually won a fun prize!

Thank you Endrosz

Wow, that was actualy real clever. Well done Operative 14

Thanks to the commission by Smilin' Assassin, and the dedicated work of the talented Hoodie, the original post and the whole thread received a full facelift! It addition to the shiny new looks, the OP now lists past winners and shows the date of the next game up front.

But the good stuff doesn't end there: Hoodie decided to sponsor the next game with a full artist's commission! He will create an avatar, banner, etc. for the winner! For those practical souls who do not appreciate art: you'll still get 20 Gifts. This commission package is offered in addition to the regular prize.

If you like what you see in the first post, drop by in Hoodie's own thread, and spend a generous amount so that he can spend more time creating art and less time farming. You won't regret it.

so whens the next contest?:P

Read the top of the original post: 12 Sept. lol :P

Im liking the face lift of the OP =D
