Eurobricks Raffle and Mystery Treasure Hunt

[Siegfried]

I won't drop any names, but let me just say that no hints will be given! If you have a question like JimButcher did post here and ask permission to PM us, but anything else is not fair to the people who worked this one out.

Apologises to all new Eurobricks members' signup. This EB Raffle and Mystery Treasure Hunt is meant for all Eurobricks members who are registered before or on 26th August 2010. In short members who have their joining date indicating 26th August 2010 and forth, they will not be eligible for this. Thanks for your attention.

So let me get this straight, im not eligible for this contest? So I searched for nothing? I dont wanna cause a fuss but lets hope there will be another contest like this soon for series 3. Im really bummed out to hear this.

Dear Eurobricks Community,

To enable greater efficiency on my end, WhiteFang has specially invited his twin brother, which is clearly me to be the one to coordinate all of the Private Messages (PMs) submissions. Be assured that I will process all of the eligible raffles entries accordingly.

Thanks for your attention.

What do you need to find?

As the title implies, this contest is a combination of a "Raffle", a "Mystery" and a "Hunt". This means that in order to participate in this free raffle giveaway, you are required to participate in a hunt which revolves around finding some mysterious minifigures. We are not asking our members to solve cryptic puzzles or decipher codes; this merely requires a keen sense of instinct and accuracy to locate the complete 16 images of the Minifigs from Series 2 hidden around the Eurobricks Forum. Simply find the image and link to the post the image is in. Post links can be found in the top right hand corner of every post, eg #6. Once you have all 16, send them to DarkFang in the format laid out below.

[Sisco]

DarkFang. Thanks for the info!

[prateek]

Okay, so now we send the PMs to DarkFang. At least WF won't have to deal with this nonsense anymore

We've always run raffles this way. So yes, you're not eligible.

You've already got more tags than me?!

To add on, this activity is meant for fun and joy by rewarding our current group of Eurobricks Members in our vibrant community. It's not fair to them by decreasing the chances of winning a raffle by allowing newer members who join Eurobricks, merely for the sake for participating a free Raffle.

I hope I have make myself clear on my stand. Please do enjoy your stay with us and this is definitely not the only exciting event that we have or ever have in the future.

DarkFang deserves it. I heard he is a Prince of Persia and Star Wars fan and is currently an infant from the small island state, Singapore.

[JimBee]

Finally! After hours of searching, I've finally found it. I understood the clue the whole time, I just couldn't find the post. Clever, Sieggy.

[RileyC]

Its not about the tags Siegfried!

Man Im stuck on this second one, but ill keep on trying! This is great fun WhiteFang? DarkFang?

[Sisco]

Gah! I'm really gnashing my teeth and pulling my hair trying to find that Traffic Cop! It'll probably be in the last topic I look, too.

EDIT: After two hours of intensive searching, the clue dawned on me. Shoulda thought of it sooner!

Welcome to EB DarkFang. How did you get into the Fellowship so quickly? I guess it pays to have good connections on EB.

Good one today, although I immediately knew what the hint was about...

[castlestrike666]

I found the hint, but not the post! Let's continue searching...

[Cecilie]

This second one was hard... Guess I don't frequent enough sub-forums or read enough posts...

[krystalKING]

Argh! This traffic cop is giving me a headache!I can't understand the hint and the search is tearing me apart!If I can't find him soon,I will find you Siegfried!

PS I don't mean it,but I,m not lying about the search.

[Toth]

first one was easy but 2nd one was even more for an old guy like me! ;)

[Fires-storm]

As a future FYI; this is not the answer.

Out of curiosity, what does it mean that that is not the answer, is it no longer the clue?

[Siegfried]

Out of curiosity, what does it mean that that is not the answer, is it no longer the clue?

No, it means what I said; that post was not the answer. The second part of the post clarifies what I meant;

All of the images were put in place before we launched the contest. None will be found in this topic. Please note though that we might change some of the clues for one reason or another, so don't discount new topics, but you can discount every topic that is specifically about this Raffle.

Jim asked if the post by WhiteFang mentioning that riddle two was live was the actual answer. I replied to say that it was not and that you won't find any answers in this topic.

Is it clearer now?

first one was easy but 2nd one was even more for an old guy like me! ;)

[Fires-storm]

Ah, yeah, thanks very much!

Edit: Finally found it, that bugger was hard! Props to Siegfried

I still can't find it....

I search a bunch of terms, that are police/motorcycle related, and I looked around the city and main forums... but I still can't find anything...

I'll just have to keep trying harder

Same with me searched practically everywhere. Siegfried I gotta hand it you. You hid this one pretty well.

[Sawyer]

Daamn, the second one was tough! And all the time it was before my eyes XD. Good one, good one, I eagerly await the next one!

[krystalKING]

Argh!The second one is killing me!I can't understand the hint and searched through ten pages of city forum!Some just give me another hint!

[Bendybadger]

Arghhh... and to think that yesterday I thought this was just too easy. This one is well hidden or the clue is too cryptic for my little badger brain.

[TheWarden]

I haven't started #2 yet... but I think I've found one in advance. Stumbled on it. Sorry, I shall give no hints.

Wonder how far in advance... #3 or #16? Heh.

EDIT: Well, I guess I know more about LEGO than I thought, b/c I found #2 easy-peasy - first try. But I'll agree good clue, though.

Nice forum game, EB!
