I'm really pleased with how well this went over. It was a little hectic at the beginning, but it seemed to go very smoothly as it went along.

Here's how the clues went and what the location was:

- Springtime Hide and Seek. - Easter Egg badge in Faultline.

- Lions are valorous felines. Especially the southern variety. - The lion statues on the southern end of Valor Bridge in IP.

- This gate guards the cosmos. - The Landlocked badge in Galaxy City.

- Control the bridge, control the turf. - Territorial badge in Perez.

- If the police wore red, you'd find them banded together here. - The Thin Red Line marker in RWZ.

- Sam's Video Games. - Raimi Arcade marker in DA.

- The island circled by believers. - The island in Croatoa that Sally circles.

- This gives new meaning to the term Royal Flush. - The Kings Row sewer entrance.

- Paradise Lost. - The Eden gate in Founders.

- Island of Swords. - The Cutlass Isle marker in PI.

- Nimbus watches over new generations of heroes from here. - Plaque in AP where the Nimbus status is located.

- Not as epic as the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but these sailors were not forgotten. - Plaque in Striga detailing a shipwreck.

I had a lot of fun with this, and glad everyone else did too!!

Wow... tough ones. Not sure how quickly I would have gotten some of those.

Heh, I rather like the Sam's Video Games one. Would have been tough to figure out, but it's quite funny.

Vlad, while I'm thinking about it, can we get a full point break down of the participants?

That's why I want to see the points break down. Curious if my inability to click on the right teleport beacon cost me 2nd or 1st place. :0

I'm assuming Vlad was awarding 3 pts for first to the location, 2 pts to 2nd, 1 pt to 3rd, etc...

Ya know, people who didn't read the OP and "signed up" at the very last minute shouldn't have been allowed to participate

That scoring system is racist towards people who don't get first place.

Well, I *do* have a toon called Vald the Imp Tailor...but I digress.

I'm pulling this off memory atm on my lunch break, but I know Voodoo was far in the lead. Somewhere around 9-10 points.

I know it was very tight for 2nd and 3rd the whole way through. I think the final difference was probably 2 points between 2nd and 3rd. I think that's about right. I'll have to see if I actually saved the spreadsheet at home.

My problem was that I was searching for locations that matched the description, not necessarily badge locations.

- Control the bridge, control the turf- for example, to me meant the bridge where sky raiders and council are fighting in Striga.
It makes sense, just the wrong kind >.<

Yeah, turns out when it was over, I just shut down Excel and didn't save. But for absolute sure, I turned to Silent Zoe and told her just before the last race that Voodoo had it won, and that it was between Satanic Hamster and Patriot for 2nd. If SH had won the race and Patriot didn't score, then SH would have gotten second.

I really enjoyed watching everyone scatter at the start of each race and how they did it, and it made me wonder how everyone was processing the clues. I felt it a great success when people kept saying what they thought it was, just because it made me feel like the clues made people think.

I would read the clue, say it out loud, and start thinking about it while I loaded the sg base.


Never worked though :| I've always played the game with neighborhood markers off, which made for a huge disadvantage for a lot of the hunts.

I originally headed for the big ole bridge in talos where Tsoo and Warriors fight on it, and around the beach area (ya know, the turf). But there isn't a badge/plaque/marker there.......so I prayed and ran for Perez.

Still were a couple that I had no clue and/or I just didn't care for the clue (Royal flush one )
