#### ~*Miso George's Massive Christmas Week Scavenger Hunt: Finished!*~

Well that's it my friends! The Hunt is officially over!
Congratulations to the Grand Prize Winner Ari Cloud, and thank you to every one of you who played, for playing and participating every day! This was a ton of fun & I hope that when I host another Hunt you all will come back to play too. Happy New Years! *^_^*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* * I will be utilising GMT throughout the Hunt. * If you're not familiar with GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) head on over to http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ and click on your country to find what time it is converted to GMT and how many hours ahead or behind of GMT you are so you can convert easily throughout the hunt.
~Christmas Week Scavenger Hunt 2011~
Clues are posted in the first post following this one and will be available for 24 hours after release! After this time I will edit the post to show the answers for the clue set, and at this time no more entries for that day will be accepted.
Please make sure you read all the rules so you don't miss anything!
Since items in my previous hunts have been taken very quickly (thus killing the hunt almost as soon as it starts) - this time, You won't be looking for items in these streets, you'll be looking for the streets themselves!
Each clue will also be accompanied by the "ruling giant" of that street (you'll have to figure out what this means yourself ^_~). You will be able to figure all of these out by spending some time studying the map and exploring. You won't need a key to get into any of these if you're on foot, and I've excluded the Ancestral Lands since you'll be (hopefully) wandering around a lot to see these places, and I didn't want you to have to deal with the Nostalgia factor. And if you can't get in the game, that's fine too! You can figure it out just by browsing through the Locations section of the Encyclopedia (you will need to get in-world to mail me the answers). If you're already very familiar with all of the regions of Ur, these may be easy, but should still be fun (I hope!). ^_^
Each day, beginning on Sunday 25th December 2011 (at Midnight GMT), I will release a set of clues. The *first player* to send me a list of all of the answers for that day will win a small prize box (gift box filled with 3 items!). Each player who participates (who sends me even just 1 of any of that day's answers) will be awarded a small participation prize. Even if the answers you send me are incorrect you will still be awarded a participation prize and will be eligible to win the Grand Prize.
So that no region has an unfair advantage over any other, I'll be releasing clues on different times of the day each day of the hunt. (For the release days and times, scroll down to the end of this post)
The last day of the Hunt, I will release the last set of clues, and the first player then to send me all the answers for the day will win the Grand Prize (large bag filled with 16 items!!). Important! *Only players who have participated in ALL of the Hunt days will be eligible to win the Grand Prize!* You don't have to *win* all the days you only have to participate, so even if you have a hard time with some of the clues, still send me your answers because you never know, you might do really well at the end and get the Grand Prize! You have 24 hours from the time the clue set is released to mail me your responses.
IMPORTANT RULES: No giving away answers in the forums! This is a big one! You can chat about the Hunt or other things here in this thread and have general comraderie but no hints to other players and no posting outright the answers. You can feel free to ask me other questions here, too, like why am I running a Hunt or why do I have such a long and windy first post >_> etc. ^_~ Also- You can ask for hints but to do so you must catch me in-game or mail me for a hint. Each player is allowed one hint per real-time day (per person not per account!). Please don't ask me to just give you the answers - that's not how the game is played.
TIP: Set a teleport point to a mailbox so that as soon as you figure out the clues you can send a mail right away! Answers must be received by mail. I will not accept them via IM as it would give an unfair advantage to anyone who happens to be online at the same time I am. =)
Please mail me the clues all in the same mail, not one by one, because I'm afraid if I get a lot of responses whilst I'm offline it might fill up my mailbox. x_x
Respondents will have 24 hours from the time the clue set is released until their answers are due. There will be some overlap between times for the clue sets and that's ok, just make sure that you get the clues for the right day to me within 24 hours.
~Clue Release Times and Days~
(I have also included times in PST because that's what time zone I'm in, it's more for me than for you lol.)
Sunday December 25th 1-5 *Midnight GMT* 4 PM PST 24 December 2011
Monday December 26th 6-10 *3 AM GMT* 7 PM PST 25 December 2011

Saturday December 31st *Last day / Grand Prize* 31-37 *Midnight GMT* 4 PM PST 30 December 2011
*Important Announcement (0.50 GMT dec 26th) Please read* In the event that 2 or more locations could answer the clue correctly, I will give the day's prize to whoever is first with the correct answers, regardless of whether the answers were what I had in mind when I first wrote the clue. If the answer will work with the clue it will be considered correct. Don't worry, you don't have to mail me to argue, I'm already double checking all the locations as they're mailed to me! *^_^* I had hoped to eliminate the possibility of 2+ locations working with each clue by including the Giant of the street but unfortunately I failed and it did not work quite as well as planned. >_< (I fail. A little.)
I hope you are still having fun despite this minor.. um.. inconvenience. *^_^*

  Posted 12 months ago by Sir Mixalatte | Permalink
- What would beakers name streets? I guessed something, but my reasoning for it is a bit strange...
  Posted 12 months ago by Scarf | Permalink
- Beaker being of Muppet fame! Everyone should know this! X(
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpcUxwpOQ_A
  Posted 12 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ | Permalink
- But that street is not shrineless!
  I'm totally just going to skip the Beaker part D: Hope I'm not too late.
  Posted 12 months ago by Palindrome | Permalink
- Ha ha ha... That Beaker? I totally thought it was the mislabelled beaker on here. So I was thinking powders, or something like that.
  I remember him now, though I'm bad with remembering names (and sometimes people), fictional or otherwise.
  Edit: Wait... did I send it or not? Now I'm not sure.
  Posted 12 months ago by Scarf | Permalink
- Trust me, when you see it you will know. :3
  Also, do not fret~! You have 23 more hours in which to think up answers. Give it some time. =)
  Edit - Scarf XD yes "That" Beaker. I tried to make sure capitalisations mattered in the clues :: giggles ::

  Posted 12 months ago by Star Gazer | Permalink
- If you miss a day you can't get the grand prize, but there are still prizes for being the first with the correct answers each day. (And even the participation prizes are pretty spiffy! :) *iz not getting all the correct answers* )
