Wtf o.õ

 

[Brandish μ]

Congrats Iceiphoenix A case of hype being right.

Also, was entertaining to read some of the comments through this hunt.

 

[Demonspeed]

Congratulations to the winners, Istill invincible. I expected Vandred to rank higher TBH.

 

[Organizized]

@Iceiphoenix @Farfalla

Thanks for a great Hunt to all the hosts! It was a lot of fun.

Of course I say that now.

 

[Gallon]

Np, hope you enjoyed my riddle.

Anyway, congratulations, guys! Thank god I won't have to deal with frickin' complaints every second frickin' post anymore. I'm tired of fu- okay, just kidding.

Thanks for the likes throughout this competition, and see you next year!

 

[z.5]

Wtf o.õ

That last find of yours pushed you into 3rd...

(last find of the game also, by the way)

 

[goldb]

Congratulations to the winners, icei still invincible. I expected Vandred to rank higher TBH.

Yeah, same.

Congrats, Icei!

Orgz and Nana too! Nana I was really rooting for you to get that 3rd place in the end.

Well done to everyone that took part; you did very well considering how much pleasure Gallon and Zim took in coming up with some of the riddles. @Belserion was a saint; so thank her for her riddles.

We'll be posting the riddles and answers for all the rounds later on when I get back home. For now; celebrate and congratulations, everyone!

 

[Farfalla]

Gratz all of you guys, specially Orgz and Icei, the winners. You guys were committed and willing during the whole process. Of course problem solving takes a big part in this, but you guys also put a lot of time and effort in this, so I'm happy to see how far you got (in Orgz case, that must be a nice self bday gift as well).

Thx to the mods that also put a lot of time and effort in this event. It's a very fun event that I love and missed^^ was quite happy as well to have it back, so thx for providing that. Also thx for being so nice, open and understanding when dealing with our trouble, complaints, stress bursts and etc.

Finally, thx Wyis and Vand for the run! The event is not entertaining without good company (I guess that's why I feel the last round makes me a bigger pile or nerves). Vand was brilliant million times, making conclusions I doubt we would have done. And overall, our chat was highly funny, lol. So thx Wyis for gathering the three of us.

I guess sleeping 5h or less and falling from the bed at 6am with an anxious break paid off '-'"
Thx guys

 

[Gallon]

Oh, I also have one suggestion, if possible: could the results thread be edited to include Swagon Foundation with something along the lines of "Losers on paper, but winners in our hearts"?

I teared up while crossing their names out at the end of round 3.

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Thanks for all the congrats, everyone! And congrats to Orgz and Nana!

A huge thank you to all the mods who took part in this. It wouldn't have been an easy task to come up with so many riddles (some of which I still can't quite put my finger on) and organize everything. It's been so fun to be back at MH for an event that I've dearly missed. I haven't been around this much since 2014-2015, so it's nice to see old faces again and meet a lot of new ones. I can't wait to see the answers for the ones that weren't solved (and also have an explanation for the ones I accidentally stumbled upon).

I was only rooting for Greg .

 

[Organizized]

Sad to see Ust was pushed from 3rd at the last minute (even though I'm happy for Farfalla). Considering I wouldn't have made it past round 1 if it wasn't for Tina nor round 3 if it wasn't for Ust it goes without saying I owe a lot of my placing to them. Viking brethren and sistren!

 

[GrySun]

I was only rooting for Greg .

1st Place: Gold Badge, Custom Title and Special Surprise

I'm curious, what's the special surprise?

 

[Farfalla]

I'm curious, what's the special surprise?

"You get to replace @Battou as a mod"

 

[Spirit]

Yeah it was pretty fun and I enjoyed contributing in what little time I could spare to participate. Gallon triggers me way more than Jarred so he takes gold for that

It stands for points not amounts of riddles you know

 

[Vandred]

Congratulations to the winners, Istill invincible. I expected Vandred to rank higher TBH.

Regrettably, I didn't have the time to spare to properly play this round, so I figured it was better if I didn't even try lest one of those riddles wormed its way into my mind and tortured me all day. I was also a bit spent after having had a headache for half the game... Maybe if it had started twenty-four hours later, I might have given it a shot, but doing that on a Monday, well... Not ideal either. Thanks for the expectations, though, I guess.

Well done to everyone else, winners or otherwise - I'm especially glad to see Farfs up there, upholding the (horrible) name of the team in the final round. You deserve that top three

Gratz all of you guys, specially Orgz and Icei, the winners. You guys were committed and willing during the whole process.

Vand was brilliant million times, making conclusions I doubt we would have done. And overall, our chat was highly funny, lol. So thx Wyis for gathering the three of us.

The same goes for me as well for most of this post. And yeah, the chat made what could have been a very frustrating experience a lot more fun, just as the comments from the tormentors organizers and the other participants.
