I don't really get it. Can someone explain it to me? Sorry, I'm a little slow today.

The Results Are In...

It's time to wrap up the mystery of the SZ Grinch and the missing gifts! The results are in, and we have 2 winners! I would like to be the first to congratulate Will and Robo Spirit on solving the mystery! Thank you! You've saved SZ's Christmas!

How'd They Do It?

Some of you may have tried the mystery and not been able to complete it, so I will explain the clues here.

Clues Explained

  • Members are tipped off by an anonymous user that the guilty RA was provoked by ungrateful members in the Compled Request forums during the holiday where thanks is due. Members must find the Graphics Completed Request forum, and search for a topic ending on Thanksgiving day, November 24th. The topic is titled "Ungrateful". Within the topic, there is a hidden message inside of the multimod used by one of the RA's. The message tells members to submit to the ripper report form for the next clue.
  • Members must submit a ticket to the report tracker. They recieve a response with one of the missing gifts inside of it. The gift contains a tag that requests that members PM the sender, and signs himself as Lord of the Maize.
  • Members must know that "maize" can mean "corn". They must be able to figure out to PM CornLord. Once members PM CornLord, he responds with a PM letting them know that at some point there was an old storage closet at the SZ, though he doesn't know where it is. He refers them to the 'Elite dreamer'. Members also recieve another gift.
  • Members must PM Sw33t_DreamZ for the next clue. She will let members know that she has an evil twin sister who knows where the storage closet is. Members are told that this twin's name is the exact opposite of Sw33t_DreamZ's. Sw33t_DreamZ gives members another gift.
  • Members must PM a member called "Bi77er_NightmareZ". Bi77er will provide members with another gift, and let them know that the hidden storage closet has something to do with 'see' equaling 81. She also says that she gets things mixed up. Members must change 'see' to 'c' and 81 to 18. Members must then take "c=18" and add it to the index URL to arrive at the Storage Warehouse. Goe keeps many of his personal items in the storage closet, but hidden within, a topic can be found by the "Grinch". The last gift is contained in this post.
  • In each of the gifts, certain letters are bolded or stick out on the tag. Members must take all of these letters and unscramble them to reveal "Count Paquin". Ladies and gentlemen, you have your grinch. :hehe:
I would like to give a special thanks to Black Widow, Goe, Ross, Sw33t_DreamZ and CornLord for helping and offering their support with this project! I'd also like to thank all of you for participating and saving Christmas! Happy Holidays! :santa:

Congrats on finding it. I was at the point of PMing 'Bi77er_NightmareZ', though by that point I believe I was too late.

Good job. :)
