edited December 2008 in General Discussion
Are you diligent when it comes to posting on the PWI forums? Or do you prefer to do your chatting and emoting in-game? Either way, this is the event for you!

On Friday, December 12, forum administrators will be posting in popular threads under General Discussion from 10:00am to 3:00pm. In each post, one word will be highlighted in red. Its your job to scour the threads for these key words, and then place the words in order of when they were posted (check the timestamps). Once in order, the words will spell out a phrase thats relevant to Perfect World International.

At 3:00pm Pacific time, a GM will appear on each server and reveal his location. You'll need to find the GM, stand in front of him, and whisper the complete phrase to the GM to win your prize.

Rules: Players are allowed to discuss the event and even possible solutions on the forum and in-game, but remember, only the first 5 players to whisper the phrase to the GM will win prizes, so its in your best interest to solve the word hunt yourself.

Prizes: The first 5 players on each server to whisper the complete phrase (spelling counts!) to the GM will win a prize. Prizes include Black Raptor mounts, rare Snow Hare pets, and more. Let the word hunt begin!

    Basically you want to pay attention to posts made by forum admins on Friday, Dec. 12 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Pacific.

    As the original post states, PWI Forum admins will be posting on the 'General' Message Board during this time frame. You need to look for their posts that contain a red word.

    I'm not going to name all of our forum admins but those of you who frequent the boards should be able to name at least 3- 4 of our admins who post here often. There will be somewhere between 5-6 admins making 'word hunt' post contributions for this contest.

    You should move the time for events; a lot of people are in school at 3:00 (like me). At least move it to the weekends or something (seriously, why don't you ever do that?)
    I figured I should do something with my sig, so I made this for fun. My very first (poorly made) animation. b:victory

    haha, consider this the first post in today's Word Hunt game. Starting from now through 3 p.m. (Pacific Time) you'll want to pay careful attention to posts from Forum Admins on the General Forums.

    The mystery phrase will be made up of 11 words, so therefore you will need to construct the phrase from 11 posts from Admins and please keep in mind that the phrase will be constructed sequentially from the first red word to the last.

    have fun and feel free to reply to this thread if you have any further questions.

    Once all the words are typed in different areas of the forum, will the GM reveal where he is or during the hunt?

    At 3 p.m. you need to be on your server and the GM will announce which AREA he/she is located at (note: each GM will be at a different location per server).

    You then need to find the GM in that specific area and once you locate the GM you must whisper the correct phrase to him/her.

    The GMs will declare you a winner based on the following criteteria:

    1. you must whisper the GM the correct phrase
    2. you must be visible to the GM (meaning that you must be standing near him/her).

    The first 5 players (per server) to accomplish this will be declared winners and will receive phat prizes in their in-game boxes next week.

    Also: only 1 account is eligible for a prize (eg - if you win on Sanctuary and then manage to also win on Heavens Tear you will only receive 1 prize).
