Clue will be in the fourm or a short story, riddle, general location, or statement. Teams may leave at any time to find Waldo once clue is being read. Mr Lotto will read clue twice so pay close attention, take a screen shot if you think you can't remember and look for key words or phrases.

Well not everything went so well for the event again sadly. Most people couldn't figure out the riddles and didn't know a lot about uo geography. Or were too intoxicated to think. (panthor) The three people that stayed worked on some of the final clues together and traveled to the url forty for there final task. The urks fought well but wee no match for the large amounts of magic heading there way. The final three were taken to the treasure boat and shared there spoils! True to my word I handed out the prize and maybe next time people will show. Thanks to nevermore for putting up with my post rambling. And to everyone else that participated even if it was for only a short time. The urk gild for which I am also a proud member of for there participation and making the game a great place to kick back and just have fun.

It was lots of fun

I have a couple of suggestions for improvement

1) rebranding the event as a kind of 'treasure hunt with real clues' would perhaps attract more people than 'wheres waldo' which people may not understand as a fun event
2) dont give up on the participants finding the answer to the clues too quickly, i ran some events when i was the GM on another shard and some participants in treasure hunts would take a considerable amount of time, but as long as there was treasure at the end they were willing to keep searching (sometimes for hours) a complex hunt makes its more interesting, i dont mind a complex puzzle to work out.

all in all i really appreciated your hard work and hope you keep doing it!
