Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt Intro

=====================================================================
HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THE ASPIRE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SCAVENGER HUNT,
BROUGHT TO YOU BY GILLY (AEGYOLKS), JEANNIE (CUPIDS), HAN (HANHIRO),
AND SOME WASHED UP RETARDED GUY IN THE RETIREMENT HOME
=====================================================================
THIS SCAVENGER HUNT WILL BE AN INTERATION OF "THE AMAZING RACE", IN
WHICH TEAMS WILL WORK THROUGH CLUES AND PERFORM TASKS IN ORDER TO
REACH THEIR NEXT CLUE, ULTIMATELY ENDING AT A FINISH LINE.

THERE ARE PRIZES FOR FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD PLACE FOR THIS RACE.
SHOUTOUTS TO YUMI (HOBBY) FOR SPONSORING THIS EVENT FOR US.
=====================================================================
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY NOTICED, WE WILL BE USING PASTEBIN TO DELIVER
CLUES AND TASKS TO YOU, RATHER THAN PM'ING YOU INDIVIDUALLY. DUE TO
THIS, WE WOULD RECOMMEND YOU HAVE A TEXT EDITOR (NOTEPAD, WORD, ETC)
TO EFFECTIVELY COPY DOWN/KEEP TRACK OF THE CLUES. GIVEN THAT THE
ACTUAL PASTEBIN URL IS CENSORED IN MAPLE (OMEGALUL), THE CLUES WILL
BE GIVEN TO YOU AS THE END PART OF THE URL.

FOR EXAMPLE: IF THE THE CLUE PRESENTED TO YOU IS 60YbnH4P, YOUR CLUE
IS GOING TO BE AT: https://pastebin.com/60YbnH4P

=====================================================================
SOME OF THE RULES OF THE RACE
=====================================================================
1) TEAMS OF 4 (OR 3 IF NOT ENOUGH PPL)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We will be randomly assigning teams, as the main purpose of this
event is for people to get to know their fellow alliance members
a bit better. Teams will have at least 1 Divide and 1 Vitality,
depending on the turnout of the event. We are aiming for 2 of each,
but we realize that this is very reliant on who shows up. Unless
otherwise specified, for each leg of the race, ALL team members
should show up to each clue's location before the clue is given.

2) EACH TEAM MUST ELECT A CAPTAIN
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The captain must be elected at the very beginning of the scavenger
hunt, and cannot be changed later on. The captain will be in charge
of requesting hints, and delivering items that may be sought after
in the clues. The captain must also notify the scorekeeper of the
team name.

3) NO HYPER TELEPORT ROCKS OR GUILD TELEPORT/SUMMON
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We cannot actually enforce this rule, but given that this is a race,
we would prefer for people to actually do some walking around. If we
do notice blantant disregard for this, however, we will mark down
penalties for teams. Boss queues, Pantheon Dimensional Portal, Taxis,
and Return Scrolls are all fair game. Mounts are also acceptable.

4) HINTS WILL BE PROVIDED AT A COST [IMPORTANT]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain (not all) stages will contain a hint in case runners are at
a roadblock and cannot seem to move on. In this situation, the team
captain can elect to ask for a hint from the guide they received the
clue from. The cost of the hint will not be disclosed until after
the hint is given--therefore, you cannot weigh the tradeoff for a
hint before taking it. The cost of the hint can vary from additional
looting, small time penalties, etc. There is only one hint per stage,
and there is no limit to how many hints a team uses, although the
cost will be incurred each time it is used. If the hint cost involves
additional looting, they will be delivered to the next guide along
with the original loot requested. Be aware: in stages for which an
item AND a location are required, the hint will only provide help for
one of those 2, never both.

5) DECOYS AND BAITS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain stages will have decoys and baits set up to obstruct your
pursuit of the finish line. The guide may have a pastebin clue
available, but it will be set up in a fashion to let you know you've
fallen for a decoy. In the case that this happens, revisit your last
clue and work your way to the real clue!

6) THE FINISH LINE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The finish line will require the entire team to be there (obviously),
and the timer does not stop until the guide receives a screenshot of
the entire team shouting their team name. Upon conclusion, we will
tally up the total time with penalties and hint costs included. The
scores and final results will be announced later in the evening. At
the end of 3 hours, we will put a hard stop on the race so that we
can announce the results and allow people to redeem their prizes.

=====================================================================
GILLY (AEGYOLKS) WILL BE GOING AROUND RECORDING FOOTAGE OF THE RACE.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME COMPETITIVENESS, TRASH TALK, AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY, SOME QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT WITH OUR FRIENDS.
THATS ALL FOR NOW! WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GUYS THERE!
