The Atrocity Exhibition

PostPosted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 1:25 pm


My second contest. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE the movie National Treasure. That movie is one of the places I came up with the idea for this contest. Each time a new contest begins I will post an article. after the article, you will find a question and an Ottendorf cipher afterwards. Numerous posts will follow, consisting of past entrants, past questions, Articles, and Ciphers. Current prizes, past prizes, deadline, past deadlines, polls, and past polls. And to warn you all now, most of the time, things will be music related unless they are submitted by other members. Now, We shall have the rules to this here contest:

1] This contest has no Entry fee, considering there would be no way to coordinate the contestants, its first come, first serve!

2] If you win three contests straight, you may not participate in the fourth contest after your three straight victories. If you participate just for something to do, by all means, have at it.

3] Post your answers in this thread, and how you followed to get to the question. First person to post the correct process, and the correct answer wins. Post what thread you went to, what it told you to do or ask you, then the next one it brought you to, and however many it takes you to, then the answer when you finish.

4] This contest will lead you to numerous places in this guild, so please do not become frustrated and attack anyone in the guild for figuring it out before you. Be a good sport!

5] This is the Big 'un: HAVE FUN! This contest will have prizes, yes, but it will be small prizes like 1-5K in gold or an item worth about that much (Unless a very difficult code is created).

I want to remind everyone that in the second cipher, 0 wil be the original post, 1 will actually refer to the second post, 2 to the third, 3 to the fourth, 4 to the fifth, etc.

Alright, The rest of the information will follow this post. thank you to all who participate, and remember, Have Fun!
