Flag Hunt 2011

Postby Thoul » Thu Jun 30, '11, 5:13 am

In celebration of both Canada Day and the US' Independence Day, a community event will be held this weekend. During our second annual Flag Hunt, thirty Phantasy Star themed flag icons will be hidden in various locales around the site. Find them if you can!

If you find an flag icon, click it to claim it. When you claim an flag icon, you will unlock a matching Achievement that will appear in your member profile. There is a separate Achievement for each flag. Flags you have claimed will also disappear from your view of the site.

Please do not share the locations of flags others. Please allow everyone to fully enjoy the event by searching for the flags and earning the Achievements independently. If I have reason to suspect that someone has cheated their way into finding flags, may be disqualified from this and future community events. You are welcome to boast when you find a flag, of course. Just don't say where you found it.

Flag Hunt will begin at about 12 AM GMT Friday, July 1 and end at 12 AM GMT Wednesday, July 6. That's 8 PM US Eastern time, Thursday to Tuesday. The hidden flags will appear only during this time window. The start time may be delayed slightly, as I have to turn the flags on manually at the appointed time.

Some of the flags will be easy to find, while others may appear in parts of the site you've never visited before now. They could be anywhere! Keep your eyes peeled!

Happy hunting and have a good holiday weekend! :D

I've already 14 in one evening. I think that means I deserve to sleep, 'specially since I work tomorrow. :silly:

Edit: make that 15. But I still haven't found the Demi flag (assuming there is one!)

Very impressive, CW! You've got a good eye to find so many so quickly. And yes, there is a Demi flag out there somewhere! :)

Everyone is doing great so far! There are still a few flags that have not been found yet. I've placed the first set of riddle clues in the first post. If you can solve a riddle, it will lead you to a flag. :D

I found the Demi flag. I am satisfied. I shall now go shower and take the various drugs given to me by an ER doctor to hold me over until I can see a dentist on Wednesday for an infected and/or abscessed tooth. :knockout:
