Submissions open every Monday only from 10 AM Pacific Time (1 PM Eastern Time / 6PM GMT / 19:00 Central European Time) until 5:00 PM Pacific Time (8:00 PM Eastern Time / 1:00 AM GMT / 2:00 Central European Time) between January 11, 2010 and July 26, 2010).

 Welcome to our "Search the words, save the world" forum mission!
As mentioned in our previous mission briefing, super evil computer Ebil-o is still attempting to take over the world and exterminate human beings. Your opportunity to save us all is through a word block located at the bottom of this post.

The goal is to be the first one to find the words based on the theme (without being told what they are), circle them in the word block (using Paint or an equivalent program) and then list them below it.

If you are the first one to answer with the correct words, you win and only then will we be able to input the words into Ebil-o's matrix, thus delaying our impending doom. As a token of our gratitude, we'll give you the "Ebil-o FTL [date]" forum title as well as 1 (one) costume code amongst the following ones:

  • Carnival of Shadows Harlequin
  • Freakshow Tank Boss
  • Paragon Police Department Hardsuit
  • Carnival of Shadows Ring Mistress
  • Knives of Artemis Lt.
  • Praetorian Clockwork
Have fun…but not too much as each week we’re counting on you to save the world!

Well played. I only found 4 before you posted.

TBH I was kinda waffling about "Calamity" and "Wrath." If you look, "Jake" is in there too. Perhaps Ebil-O downloaded Avatar this weekend?

Man, had 7 here and was just hunting for whatever the last one was (turned out I'd missed Viridian first time through the verticals)

Good job

I think some diagonals would up the toughness a bit, as would fewer Q's.

@Quarrios: Well, I'm out for the next eight weeks so you won't have to compete with me for this game any more. I'm probably going to give Niv and Ocho's games a pass this week too, just so I don't hog the codes. (I just need the Harlequin to complete the set, so best to let others have some too.)
