Sledgeweb, the maker of the best Lost info site I've found, is hosting the second round of the summer "HUNT". http://lost.cubit.net/viewArticle.php?id=24160
Which is essentially an online Lost-themed scavenger hunt.
Throughout the summer, every Wednesday, he posts a clue which we then have to decipher and follow through the internet to find the answer to. Thew beauty is it's all related to Lost too. This thing is hella fun, and gets your brain working! I'm going to be putting this on my calendar, as it's something I don't want to miss, and I think you guys would really like it too. Hell, we could have our own LVI team on this one heheheh. I'll make us banners if so

As far as I know the only people who did it last year from here were myself and Nate. Anyone else up for it this year?!

Well, it will teach you how to be like really smart

lol
My first tip to you guys is to always check the page source code of each page

there's often some hidden clue in there.

nope, just drop in on the odd week you can make it. Though if you want to win, it usually means participating in every one of them

and winning

Though I don't expect any of us to win this time anyway.... there'll be way too many people entering this contest.

it'll probably just be for fun.

Welcome to the LVI Team!

heheh. The first hunt was yesterday, and a toughie:

I think I have the right answer though. Solving crosswords is really easy with a crossword helper you can find with a search on google.

Where are the spammers anyway?

those guys would get a kick out of this one

they're good at hunting down stuff anyway... lol. We need more members in the LVI Hunting Team!

I can't speak for the rest of The Gang

but I know my limitations. I suck at things like this. I'd be dead-weight, the weakest link, the ship's anchor around the collective neck of the LVI Hunting Team, the...other bad and/or useless metaphorical thingie... Well, you get the idea!

*roots for y'all from the sideline*

I will sign up.

I was voted MOST LIKELY TO BE ON JEOPARDY by my eighth-grade class, so I can't be all bad luck and dead weight, right?

Alas, I missed the first round.

Next round, here I come!

Yay! Two more people!

maybe this will help persuade you marcus

Well if you don't wanna try out that's okay Ais, but I know firsthand you are very good at thinking outside the box, and that is what you need for this thing!

So you may want to try it out at least

Btw, the first round still isn't over, you guys still have a chance to make the leaderboards! (though the top 10 are probably filled. But Sledge doesn't close a round until he gets 20 right answers). If nothign else, it will help you get ready for next round, especially since the page(s) you'll be led to in this hunt are vital to the hunts. Make sure you look over last years' hunts too, btw

, you can't make it through this round without doing that.
