I know what it is! what am I soppoused to do, write it here or are there more clues.
the dark lord 1:
what do we do?
Willim33:
You solve this riddle:
Older than elves; Yet is born anew every day;
Nothing can harm nor stop it;
Even at the end of all things it still goes on;
Other than that it's not really clear :)
zach:
Usually there will be hints as to where to go next.
Hint: Look at the title of the riddle. In the future use clues like the title to deduce where you will go next.
Willim33:
I didn't "really think it would be THAT easy" (;)) but may I ask whether the trail is as of yet complete?
Mithrandir7:
The first clue should be pretty damn easy :P
--
I have updated the main post to give you all some more insight.
MirkwoodArcher:
Well, I'm stumped on a certain three item password. :P I don't know what to do. The latest clue I found wasn't too helpful...
Mithrandir7:
I'm going around making things a little bit easier and more challenging in others. (make the clues harder to spot, make it easier to find the next one)
ChasePig:
Crap! I am 100% sure I know the first clue and its not working :p
zach:
MirkwoodArcher:
Yes, I figured it out, after some time. Now I'm stumped on something else. :P
Willim33:
Nice trail. If there's a clue where I've got to then it is quite subtle, but I get the feeling that there isn't supposed to be a clue in it...
MirkwoodArcher:
I have no idea what the clue I'm on is referring to. Is this all on the MEC forum or does the trail lead to other places?
Willim33:
For the clue on which you replied 'Interesting...' it does lead to somewhere else. I suppose it's Zach's signature style, really.
MirkwoodArcher:
Yep, I got that one figured out. I'm stumped on Unseen Battles.
zach:
Words can be found in many places as well as pictures too.
Mauth-Of-Sauron:
I made it too (and I didn't think it would be "THAT" easy either), but I'v also stop on the Unseen Battles... although I don't understand what it means, nor the others... yet.
Willim33:
Sometimes I feel like I am trying to make sense out of nothing.
zach:
Well that is supposed to be the hardest one yet. You guys who are stuck there are near the end.
MirkwoodArcher:
I don't know if that's more comforting for me or less comforting. :P
Mauth-Of-Sauron:
Mithrandir7:
Ha! I solved it (zach didn't give me the final answer >_>). Thats good, and quite possible if you think about it.
I won't steal your prizes though :P
MirkwoodArcher:
Great, now I still don't know what to do. :P
I have no idea...
Mithrandir7:
We'll give it a few more days before we give more clues
And no posting anywhere about it, for those who might solve it in the interim.
zach:
Yall have almost 2 months... :P
The contest has barely started.
MirkwoodArcher:
I know, but mysteries that are unsolved bug me, not to mention a clue that I can't make sense of. :P
Mauth-Of-Sauron:
Agree, I'm becoming realy impatient... And this clues are very misterious, and that makes me even more eager to unravel them :D.
Mithrandir7:
Read the clue... You have to infer what the solution is.
MirkwoodArcher:
Oh, believe me, I'd like to, but I don't know...are we sure it's actually on these forums? :P
Mithrandir7:
Yes, it's on MEC
MirkwoodArcher:
Another hint?
zach:
^ Nahhh... not yet. ^
MirkwoodArcher:
Aww...I guess begging won't help.
zach:
^^ Nope ^^
SuPeR x CuRRy:
i have oly just started today have worked out the first clue but where do i enter it i can find the forum
Willim33:
At the bottom.
Mauth-Of-Sauron:
I'm stuck, I'm stuck and I can't move even one step forward (still on the Unseen Battles). And believe me, I have tried everything!!! And It's already boring, and I'm already tired of making an answer out of nothing.
Willim33:
Do we need to know all the white text clues?
MirkwoodArcher:
I'm still stuck where you are, Mauth-of-Sauron.
Mithrandir7:
I will give you another clue, but I can't say how easy it is. Once you get it you'll find it's pretty cool! The clue is:
Mithrandir7:
Sorry we let this kind of slip out of your guy's minds. You guys have until August 1st still. I have added another clue below the FINAL clue that you hunted down.
The answer to this is part of the solution. See if you can piece the rest of it together. Don't forget the previous clue, as this will help you.
This search covers the entirety of MEC.
Don't forget the prizes that are up for grabs!
