FFR 10th Anniversary....Treasure Hunt!

[YoshL]

FFR's SPON CON HUNT

So, I've heard that most of you like puzzles and solving things, right?

You people all enjoy knocking out tough enigmas, encrypted messages, and convoluted directions, right?

You people Like Getting Tokens, RIGHT?

Well that's good. Because this will (hopefully) test your mind. Really hard. Like, incredibly hard. Like..... vigorously.

ANYWAYS

Here's the overview:

So what I'm going to give you are clues. Each clue will lead you further along your little scavenger hunt around the whole site, until you've gone through all of your clues. Then a final clue will give you the final answer to this little hunt. PM me your final answer, and the first 3 will get their choice of a tokens!

Here's the prizes!

First place will take home 2 event tokens, second and third will each get a choice of one. If you already possess the event tokens, a suitable credit reward will be supplied.

Here's the twist:

Each clue is garbled in some way or another. You're going to have to decipher them first in order to proceed anywhere in this scavenger hunt.

Here's the second twist:

You won't even know which order the clues go in. You're going to have to deduce that yourselves.

How to win: (Important, please read this)

Be one of the first 3 people to solve this entire scavenger hunt, and PM me the correct answer!

To prevent cheating, I do ask that you send this in your pm to me

I want you to explain how you solved the puzzle. This includes:
.

1. How you deciphered each clue (note, just the method, not what the clue says)
2. Order that the clues go in
3. How you applied each clue to get to the next
4. Your final answer

So, are you ready to get solving? I really hope you are.
