- This idea was brought up a couple years ago by Master of Stuff, and I was thinking that now would be a good time to implement it -
That's right, we're conducting another contest, this time much different than any held previously. Soon we will be placing parts of a certain code all over CurvedSpace and SeeD. This "code" will be a series of words making up a random statement. What you will have to do is look through the site (both CurvedSpace and SeeD) and try to find the words! They will be provided with numbers so you will know when you have found all the words.
The winner will be the first to compile the entire statement and PM it to me via the forums (do not email it). He/She will receive a hosted forum as a reward, which can be of any topic which is appropriate for anyone.
The words are currently not on the site, stay tuned for the official notice when the contest is ready.
Note: A hosted forum is a forum which is set up for the winner. It is located on this board in its own category, and will remain as long as members are using it (at least a few months regardless). When it is no longer active it will be placed in another forum as a sub forum, and can still be used. The winner can moderate it, though does not gain access to the Mod Forum.

lol, I vaguely remember this idea... I was s'posed to get something for it too, but never cashed it in
It'd be cool to do it now... especially since there are a lot more people who would participate. Kinda like an easter egg hunt of sorts... but with Words!

Sounds like a scavenger hunt to me. 
Sounds fun, maybe I'll try looking for those words. If I did get a hosted forum I would probably give it to someone else (if possible). Maybe I'll just try to decipher the code but not pm it to you. I can taunt some people. 
(Lol, just kidding.)
I hope this event gets a good turn out. It'll give SeeDs something to do if they're bored.

You have to search all of the SeeD Website and CurvedSpace Website for words making up a statement (as said, they'll have numbers so you know if you've found some). Once you've found them all, you'll have to decipher the code.

I'm not really following you, lol. That's pretty much the point of the contest. You click on the links to view each section of the websites and try to discover the words in the code.
