Treasure Hunt

Kjeldorian Royal Guard 42 · Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2002 1:17 am Post subject:

KRG has really flipped his lid this time eh? Well, maybe I have. Non the less, this should be fun! Because so many haven't d-loaded DOD, I made sure that none of these make a reference that mod.

How well do you know TheVille? Step right up, test your strength. . .er knowledge! The following must be collected in it's entirety. You can help each other out as much as you want and you can post as you go. But beware! Others might get the jump on you if you release too much info!

There is only one rule. To prove that you have taken any screenshots, you must type the words "Treasure Hunt" on the screen before you take the shot! That means the words must be visible on the screenshot to be credible. Don't know how to take screenshots or upload them? Look to bottom for help.

The questions require only typed answers. Oh, did I mention you only have until this Saturday night?

I hope many participate and I wish you all good luck!

1. How many computers are there (total, counting the last ones) on "shortbus"?

2. Screenshot of a bloody pew

3. Screenshot of a dead civilian

4. Screenshot of two giant boots

5. Which admin's name was a TV character on "married With Children"?

6. Screenshot of Robert E. Lee (not the mascot, the Mayor) (Robert gets to skip this one)

7. Screenshot of a tank

8. Who "whipped up" the respawn camping diagrams?

9. Screenshot of a framed family picture

10. How much does "any" TheVille mousepad cost? (U.S. dollars)

Screenshots? The button used for your screenshot can be found in the TFC vehicle. Open TFC from the desktop, find the "controls" menu and click on it. In there, you will find and/or set your screenshot button. Then simply press that button in game like a camera and boom it goes into your folder.

Where do I find the screenshots once I have taken them? They are usually located in your Sierra/Half-Life folder. If not, try the Sierra/Half-Life/TFC folder.

How do I post the screenprints? Send them to me at my e-mail address located at the bottom of this post. I will post them if you do not know how.

KRG, that email at the bottem of your post is non existant. I've been lookin' around for some of the things there... found a few, but, i can't send them to ya, if you have no email! Or is that the bonus in the hunt. Managing to find KRGs email.

Hmmm. Try it now. I had the first part all caps. Probably why it wouldn't work. It should work now.

No bloody pew? Churches have many pews. I'm sure one has blood on it somewhere. . .

WINNER!

JollyRoger!

This guy knows his Ville!

1. 14, you answered correctly! You are obviously a shortbus phreak!

5. CyCoDad! Jolly knows his admins!

7. Ok Jolly, you got this one wrong. You took a screenshot of a tank but it was from DOD. I said in the original post that none of these made reference to DOD. The tank was easily found in Epicenter.

8. John Doe! GJ Jolly! You have read your server rules through and through!

10. 12.99 + S$H! GJ Jolly, you know your Ville merchandise! Now go by some. . . .

However, Jolly, since you are not only the only person to find this many items, but you are the only person who participated, you deserve a salute!

Jolly Knows his Ville!

There is an armored personel Carrier in Epic center? I didn't know that was equal to a tank. Whoops.

No, i don't know my admins -that- well, i just watch that show. Isn't Seven so cute?

Edit: Should have snap shotted the Tank in Tiger, but, that's not on rotation. Grr.

The framed picture was in Turkeyburgers! On on the computer desk to the left of the monitor. NUK, TheVille has an online store, just look at the top, it's the button labeled Online Store.

If you play Avanti over at the hood you will be pleased to see that they have 2 tanks in the upper and lower respawns. I was going to do a screen cap of the tanks but I had no time to do the rest of the hunt.

I suggest you give people a bit more time if you do another one, but it was a fun idea.
