I can't wait for you to announce it!

Me either! This scavenger hunt will be hard to top though, the satisfaction you get from scrolling through 200 pages for that one candle. Its awesome

Ahahahaha! POTM! Because it neatly captures the unadulterated geekiness of us all

[viviane]

Grrrrrrrrrr Mike! Sitting in his chair and not having his eyes turning wild by looking through hundreds of pages!

Thanks fir ghe gem Pixie, was not necessary but appreciated
Side effect of this chase is that proboard is cashing huge money with all these adverts " viewed"! Aren t we lucky we are no longer paying by the viewed page, but maybe a little commission by proboard ....

Not a single person has found my 1-pointer candle! And Pixie's #5 remains unfound. And Fletch's #4. And 250's #1.

I'm starting to wonder if you guys are trying hard enough...

I have found 250's #1, it just hasn't been recorded

I should take a screenshot of my outbox, its so busy!

[lemmyloop]

You guys must be Hufflepuffs because y'all are exceptionally good finders! I logged in to see my inbox full of 20 new finds. Way to go.

Dear Myke,

As per your PM to me on April 3, 2013, I officially declare that you are a really, really good guy.

A haiku tribute to Myke:

Myke is so da bomb
He walks on water daily
And he's really cute

I objectively declare that this should be worth some bonus points in the competition!

Any objections? No? Good.

Carry on, everyone.

I'm moving away from you. Don't want to get hit by any of the incoming rocks coming your way.

OUCH! WHO THREW THAT?

Guilty as charged!
But in my defense, the rock asked me to throw it

[liquidc0urage]

So no one has found my fifth tooth(candle).
Not sure if you realize how hard it is to eat a sandwich without all your teeth,
but if you eyeball my avatar, you'll see I really can't afford to go without eating.

Seriously good job to all those hunting, and an even better job to those finding

Only have 5 to go, and your 5th is one of them! Pretty tired now, but it was worth it

[DragonElf]

Question please, due to a little confusion. Do we scavenge in the Info Center, Forum Statistics? There are two highlighted items in that.

Those highlighted areas you are talking about are recent posts, so no, there won't be candles hidden there.

All the candles were hidden on the same day, and have not been moved, so they wouldn't be in recent posts.

Happy hunting!

[shotgunsalley]

How many are left to find ? Can they be anywhere on the form ? And are the ones that have been found removed ?? Sorry lots of questions - I've been out of action for a couple of days so just catching up here now

[Pixie]

128 - Viviane
127 - Coronis
= Sooooo exciting!

[viviane]

Well, am still missing 13 candles and I must admit, i am getting tired. If, and when I finish the current thread I am on, and don t have them all, I will put an end to the search.
Had that same feeling whilst chasing Kairos.

[myke]

Candles that are found by one person remain unfound for you. Nothing has been removed. If you haven't started, there are 55 candles waiting for you.

[shotgunsalley]

That is a lot of searching 0.o

C'mon Viv! You can do it! That second wind is right around the next corner, not too much further, one thread at at time, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

I had to waste about 9 hours at work today, before I could get back to the marathon. Ought a get my priorities straight. Onward ho, deep into the cold dark night... Need some candles to light the way home.
