Rules

1. Each task must be a new mission; you may not claim two tasks in one mission. So claim the harder task first if you've met the requirements for two. No changing around after you claimed a task!
2. *Definition of Train Wreck at least 4 vs. 4 in a mission with 1 TF left standing.
3. You may choose 1 partner to help; said partner must be named at the time of your first claim. Partner can be same or opposite faction. But cannot be switched for a new one for the remainder of the hunt.
4. Each task can be claimed once per pair. So any doubles, accident or not will not be counted.
5. Time stamp, if it is a specific task done by a move copy the time stamp so it’s easy to find.
6. As some tasks won’t be possible for level 0 players (stasis locking TF more than 1 level higher than them) pm me, with the mission number and I’ll okay it. For level 0 only.
7. All tasks are based in Missions and not the Arena.
8. No you can not claim your own alts.
9. Collect also means have that in a mission.
Due to the nature of the RNG there will be three freebies, once you have claimed that freebie you can not switch it to a different task.


Thanks to Supercollider for some ideas as well as Tammuz for some refinement.

sound very cool

Looks like fun Soundwave, I hope you don't mind but I edited the title a little to get more attention

From 30th of August?
Too bad I wont be able to play that much, the Movie Festival at local Theaters will be at the same time (With 1.5$ for a movie, I don't think I'll be at home too much.)
But I'll try everything.

To the Kremzeek questions: Is it count if my own Kremzeek cooks/hugs/dances...?

To task 13: There are no more 3 Sharks in one mission. At the lv.4-10 mission, there's one Fallen, 2 Judge and only 1 Shark. In the lv.0-3, there's 1 Magistrate, 3 Over*something* drones, and 3 Allicons
To task 24: Arena counts?
To task 14 and 48: I suggest taking in the Magistrates to these tasks, they are the lower levels' Judges.
To task 16: Negative Energon counts?

To task 1: I like this one.

No. the hunt takes place ONLY in missions

Regular Scavenger Hunt high achiver looking for partner for hunting, killing, scavenging and perhaps something more.

If I have time, I'll try to take part in this. School will have started by then, so I might be spending my free time studying

I'm up for another one (and willing to partner up if anyone asks).

I'm in and definitely looking for a partner.

i in for the hunt,looks like a good mix of tasks.

only real hard ones look like
#3 recall a old hunt this task was hard in.
#13 only 1 sharky in any mission now.
#19 some alts are rather rare,and\or low level. ie(blot, rippersnapper}
#42-47 seems like a lot of Kremzeek tasks,for something that is kind of rare for some lvls,and to the game.

heck a lvl 0 would have to be given 13 tasks unless given different tasks for lvl.
3,9,13,14,29,30,42,43,44,45,46,47,48
thats 13 tasks,not counting the 3 free.

I was talking to Jesus Prime and he and I are teaming up for this. So we're the first team to offically sign up. Normally I don't come first but I made an exception this time. So all of you can look forward to being dominated by Team Drunken Perverts when this starts.

With JP involved .... there's just so many bad things that could be said there.

Walking away now ...

we have to come up with Team names?! hey red how about Team Pink Floyd, or maybe the Red Tam Pax?

How are we supposed to track these? Too many to do, and not enough time to actually monitor these.

I guess I'm a bit skeptical...

Word.

well when the time comes there will be a thread for claims, you copy the list in it and under it you put links to the missions where you've completed th task, if your partner has completed the task you put that in there, that way you have a record of what's done and what needs to be done.

yes this involves actually looking at your mission log, but that's part and parcel of how all of the various hunts work, this isn't the first scavenger hunt, and most certainly isn't the first look at your logs hunt.

the prototype scavenger hunt had 15 tasks and took a mere two hours for me to complete, Red did the first one in 85 hours

Because you're scared? Nah, I'm just playin.

Anyway, I think I'll have to count myself out of this. Yall have made it so damn extensive that it just completely takes the fun out of it for the casual player. Unfortunately, for some of us, the real world seeps into our lives in H-M-Dub. Something this massive, while fun and exciting, is just too daunting for the casual player.

I do hope there is some success with this Hunt. We've got to continue to do things to keep the game lively, fun, and exciting. I see this as a particular nod to the excellent, higher-level players that we have, which is nice because a majority of them have ran out of opponents, levels, and achievements to obtain.

It's supposed to be an innuendo, cuddlebuttons.

I was thinking somthing patriotic, like Team Great Britain, The British Elite or The Royal Guard, but hell, cant beat Red Tam Pax, lmao.

Well, I'm going to give this a shot for once. My wife (Krsi) and I are going to be teaming up for this one.

Is there a certain time frame we have to claim things within? Like within 6hrs of the mission's completion? Or can we wait until the end of the hunt to definitively decide how we'll claim our missions and how to use our freebies?

aslong as they are from missions after the starting mission(a number will decided at the start) you can claim them whenever you like, however there is no end date for this, it's ends when a couple completes all the tasks, so waiting till the end is too late, granted you can keep a sepearte log of completed tasks and shuffle the around before putting in the official claim but there's not really an advatage as another team could post all it's claims while your doing that and gazump you.

Gazump?

You heard 'em!

Question. Say Gor and I are in the same mission, and we each achieve a separate goal on the list. Can we post that mission once each, or once between us?

Nope.

One mission, one task.
