random thread & scavenger hunt

[ears4all!]

I made this way too hard-I'm just now turning it in to a random thread but you can still do the hunt


Hey all....

I have an awesome internet scavnger hunt for you hunt

But I'm not done with it yet.

On Monday, June 23 at 12:00 central time, I will try to get it on. If I don't get it up by then, check the next day. I will post it at exactly noon central time. That is 3 hours ahead of the Pacific time zone (L.A.), 1 hour behind the Eastern time zone (NYC), and 5 hours ahead of London time. So it starts at 9:00 in California, 1:00 in New York, and 5:00 in London.

You will need a key to decode the clues. When I post the hunt, I will wait 2 days and then post the key to the clues. But if anyone can crack my code, all the power to ya. When I find the winner (and yes, there will be a way to find the winner) they will get a huge virtual trophy.

Enjoy!

Think you've got a bit muddled here. I'm pretty sure that PST is 2 hours behind CST, and I know GMT is 6 hours head of CST.

Looking forward to it. I love scavenger hunts.

[ears4all!]

what am I thinking? you're right marypops! I was looking at the world clock on my phone.

so folks, it will start at 6:00 GMT and 10:00 PST. It is still at noon here in the CST and at 1:00 EST at the Mouse's home in Florida. (That's how I know what time it is in NYC- they are the exact same time as WDW- which is 1 hr ahead of us) If you want any other conversions of time, either do it yourself, ask your parents, or find marypops!.

anyone else here? otherwise, marypops! is going to get the HUGE virtual trophy!

[#1TiggerFan]

i guess i'll play... for fun!! :D

[marypops!]

Yay trophy!

So how do we do this scavenger hunt?

[ears4all!]

you know what....I bet that marypops! will break my code before I give the key and will be the first to finish the scavenger hunt. Not that I'm playing favorites or anything......b/c I'm not, you know?

[ears4all!]

sorry marypops! I can't tell you until tomorrow. I chose that time so most of the people on the Disboards will be awake during that time. Until then, I'm going to finish up the hunt.

[ears4all!]

okay....i'm done with the scavneger hunt. IT is super long and complex. Will probably take a couple of hours. But mark your place and do it over a couple of days. Go outside!

Okay. For this hunt, you will need pencil and paper. I am going to give you a lot of clues, and they will take you to a certain letter. Now how you get there is the key.

Also, it would probably be a smart idea to print out the page with the clues, so you don't have to go back and forth in your internet browser. Just copy them on to notepad or Word.

Well, I will post the clues tomorrow, noon CST.

Oh, and where there are spaces between the clues, that stands for spaces between the words.

Everything will take place here on the Disboards.

Have fun!

[diva122094]

I'll play for some funn!!

[PosessedEeyore]

i shall play!!! even tho i stink at cracking codes... so i think ill come on at 1:00.

[ears4all!]

[FunkyFunBuckets]

Here it is-the clues!

Here’s the deal!
I am not going to give you any abbreviations until I have posted the key to the clue. Remember, you will need pencil and paper. Have fun! Also, I have changed the date for me to give the key from 2 days to 1 day!

[ears4all!]

Now then...can you crack the code?

[#1TiggerFan]

is it when some of the threads came out?

[ears4all!]

no not really....but you need the thread names.
that thing took me a couple of hours to go to all the pages to get my information

[Axel]

I'm in, if it isn't too late.

[ears4all!]

You're fine! Remember the key will be given out tomorrow, noon CST

[disneydance]

I dont get it is the key Awesome Internet Scavenger Hunt- The Clues are Up!

[ears4all!]

I dont get it is the key Awesome Internet Scavenger Hunt- The Clues are Up!

I like that! Actually it is very simple. I took it from a Disney movie that has actual people in it.

I will reveal it tomorrow!

[ears4all!]

okay....I decided to change it up. Sorry out European friends.

If you can unscramble this, you can go ahead and look!

national treasure perhaps? ;)

[ears4all!]

perhaps

[ears4all!]

Okay I am going to go ahead and reveal the key. And yes, National Treasure was the movie I was thinking of-the Ben Franklin museum scene to be exact.

I am going to break down an example.

1:12:Awesome Internet Scavnger Hunt-The Clues are Up!:27p:7:2:
that equals "h"

The 1 at the very beginning stands for the Forums- this would be the Disney Trip Planning Forum.

The 12 stands for the thread number on the way down- in this case, 12 equals the Teen Disney thread.

The Name of the thread is the thread the letter is in.

The 27p equals post 27.

The 7 equals the words. This counts as one word- as..... This counts as two words as ...... Any characters that are together without an spaces in them count as a word.

The 2 equals the how far the character is from the left. In the case above, the word is "ahead" and an "h" is the second character.

Get it?

Here are some of my abbriviations-
27p= 27th post
SF1/2/3etc.=the Subforum. For example, in the DCL thread, there are two subforums at the top of the page. The number represents how far down from the top.
sig=signature

Remember you will need a pencil and paper. The reason there are so many clues is that there is a webpage spelled out that you have to do something to to finish.

That's about it! Happy hunting!
