Hi All,

I may have been a little unclear in my rules, so I hope this explains things a bit simpler (knowing me, it'll probably make it worse).

At 12pm each day, I will post on this board, a little rhyme explaining what you must find.

Your first problem will be deciphering the items :)

You then have the whole remaining time until the hunt finishes (on Saturday) to find all of the items. If you haven't found everything by the next day, it just means you have less chance of winning if there is a tie, as the person who finds them first will get the highest ranking in a a tie-breaker.

Note this is over all events too, not just 1 (ie. Being 1st in the first event, and last in the others, won't score as high as being 1st in 2 events, or even 2nd in all events)

And even then, finding the bonus items will outrank the time ratings anyway. So it's more important to just get everything at the end of the week, than any race to be first.

The main items will all be pretty easy to get if you think about it a bit. The bonus items won't be much harder, the clues will just be more cryptic hopefully.

Does this make sense? I have a habit of making simple things complicated :)

I've just about finalised all the clues and the locations, I'm just waiting on responses to ensure we have the numbers to make it worthwhile. 3 people won't be enough.

If someone definitely doesn't want to do it, please let me know as I'd like someone to proof-read and/or playtest my riddles. Of course if you want to do this and don't have a VERY GOOD excuse for not actually competing, I'll have a word or 2 to say :)
