Decale Posted September 20, 2010 Wouhou yeah! I'm so glad I won the mime (3 heads for the price of 1, which actually in this case is zero€ ). This hunt provided so much fun, my girlfriend got caught at the minute I read her the rules, and stayed on the site on advanced hours of the night, she who had never surfed on EB before! I think it was a very well done treasure hunt, it had some good clues which needed a specific lego knowledge and THAT made it sooo gratifying when you found what you were looking for . Thank you Eb staff, you can be proud! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quarryman Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah, if we do this again I'll probably host them myself; I have full control over the URL then and I have three domain names to play with! Some could even be hosted on the EB server. To be honest I don't consider this a major problem; someone would need to find at least two to establish a pattern, and we could stick in a few extra ones that don't match the clues to make things just a little bit harder. Thanks for sharing your logic though. Yes, I fully agree that it's not a major problem, and thus not worth spending a great deal of time to combat, especially considering that "I'd say you're the only person on the boards who could be bothered looking at that sort of a solution for it :P" (quoting another member of the staff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Posted September 20, 2010 Cool - Ringmaster, thanks! I've already expressed my appreciation for the contest, but no harm in repeating. Thanks to the organisers, this was great fun - I looked forward to the next clue every day. Can't wait for the next one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted September 20, 2010 Wow thats the second time in a few months that I am lucky enough to win some here on EB. It was a great hunt with some nasty clues, but as said before, while searching you find out lots of interesting topics around the forum. Well I am allready emptying a shelf for the weightlifter, one of the toughest to find , for me at least. Thanks, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jan Posted September 25, 2010 The Weightlifter just arrived here at my home in excellent condition. To be sure, I leave him in quarantaine for just a while, and check him first for anabolic steroids and such. I'm sure I will find a place for him in a future MOC. Thanks, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decale Posted September 30, 2010 The Mime is home, he's alright. Is it normal that two of his heads are sad, and the third is scared? I thought at least one head was supposed to be smiling. Oh well, never complain about FREE LEGO Thanks WhiteFang! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
