  1. Hi gang!

    It has been a while :cool:

    So I heard (from multiple sources!) that this forum is kinda quiet. Not even cool events anymore to point out active members :eek:

    The perfect time for me to get active again :D (for the record: The only reason I got active again is because I discovered the 15.2 upgrade, long after the fact even).

    This will be a 2-part forum event with a grand prize I am sure you will not want to miss.

    It's in Aya's hand.. ;)

    See what I mean? Who in their right mind would pass up for something like that, eh? No: it is not enchanted paper and although I am starting to wonder while writing this if a mystery prize is ok rest assured: this IS worth your while. Unless you're immortal I guess.

    1st question

    Is the latest public EMC member at the time of writing (please take note of current date of writing!!) an alt or not? Don't know where to look? Well, here's a hint.

    Even so.. it's a 50/50 anyway.

    The votes are public, not to poke fun of you (we'll do that anyway) but so we can see who voted what (I'm not staff so I need to 'cheat').

    There may be a bonus prize for creative answers, but who knows ;) I may just be trolling you (just look at that enchanted paper in Aya's hand!!). Wait... I meant to say: treasure map leading to the hidden EMC treasure!

    What happens now?!

    When the poll closes I shall check the right answers. Then I will come up with round 2 to determine a winner and 2 finalists (Aya wants a 1 - 2 - 3). Round 2 may be another (more difficult!) forum event or something in-game. I am plotting but my current working schedule is erratic (theoretically I could be (semi) offline again tomorrow) so I hope you can bear with me, I need to improvise.

    If you got a like from Aya in this thread then that means you won a "competitor prize" (did I mention already that it might be useful to share your conspiracy theories? No? Good!).

    With all due apologies to the other new player (please see your pm in game!).
  2. new phone, who dis?

  3. Given that the post was published at 7:24 pm EMC time on 4/1/20, I'm guessing that they're not an alt.
  4. yes alt.
  5. Aren't we eventually all Hashhog's alts? :)

    Keep in mind: your answer ONLY counts for the grand prize when you vote. So: if unsure DO vote.
  6. Ahh the newest user is the Deadly Hashog's Alt.... Come to drown us all in cake forevermore!
  7. I do not get the hint, but I think I got the answer. :)

  8. I don't know so I'm playing it safe here with no. I mean yes. Wait, no.

    Yeah, no. It's no 100%. I think.

  9. I am guessing in the dark you are talking about the most recent and when in doubt, always a alt.
  10. Good luck to all who are participating. :)
  11. The poll has ended and we have a few good answers, a few wrong answers AND some answers which call for an immediate disqualification & exclusion from the next round (I'll have you 5 people know that I wash my feet every 2 weeks, so there!) :D

    More seriously....

    I am now preparing round 2. You know you've not been playing for a while when you find places on your residence you completely forgot were there! And that is what I'm working out to use... I'm trying to go for a treasure hunt, or a drop party (or both: but first I'll ask staff about their opinion regarding a drop party and possible lag (if they haven't already made an announcement somewhere, I'm going to go over those too)).

    In the mean time....



    Apart from the mystery paper prize we started rounding up a few other things, as you can see. The main prizes of this 2 part event will include at least the following stuff:
    • Labor bench 2015 - 2017
    • Dirt Destroying Ticking Tock (a Shell favorite! Maybe we'll add more)
    • A Spark
    • A Prancer
    • Easter Bunny 2018 promo
      • And a fake (?) or used (doubtful) alternative promo
    • Blizz'ard's nose and arm (promos)
    • Eggcellent wand (promo)
    • Meteor bow
    • Emergency snow clearing device
    • Vote & vault voucher(s)
    • Three player heads (Aya, mine & othershell)
    • And several (exact amount to be determined) shulker boxes
    More to follow soon!

  12. To Shell or not to Shell that is the question if I have to quote Skelespeare. :p

  13. I knew you might be, but that is irrelevant to the question you asked. :p
    Although I guess with "public" you could mean "someone who made a mark", but I don't think that'd be intuitive to many. :confused:
  14. ...

    It would have helped a lot if I had known what a PM was supposed to be. Also: you did not send me anything in the game but I did got your forum message. An in-game message would have been better.

    The only reason I found out is because I just met up with a friend of yours.

    All good.. smp8 will take over from here, lol!
  15. I think ShelL made a mistake, you actually shouldn't be relevant to the answer to the question. :p

    Assuming the first definition, SuperKobeGamer08 is certainly public, as anyone can access his profile, even those not logged in. :)
