TESA's Holiday Hunt 2010

[DarkRider]

TES Alliance Presents...

The Holiday Hunt

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the site not a creature was stirring except for some...GNOMES!

Fifteen little blighters, with Santa at the lead

Will appear around TESA on this Christmas Eve!

Times have been hard, even Santa's cut back.

The Gnomes have been working to pick up Elf slack.

The elves are on strike, they wanted more pay

But Santa's been spending for presents and hay.

The reindeer need food, the good kids need toys

How can I pay more and skip girls and boys?

The Gnomes will do Elf jobs and save Christmas day

Santa proclaimed with a hip hip hooray.

But things have not gone as Santa had said

The Gnomes got bored and their posts they have fled.

The toys sit unfinished, the candy unwrapped

While Gnomes have run off and left Santa tapped.

I must find my Gnomes! Santa cried out near tears.

You! Yes and you, come help me my dears!

You must find my Gnomes! Wherever they've hid

I know they're here somewhere, they told me, they did.

I know you can find them in thread and in post.

Tucked away giggling on these forums you host.

Fifteen there are. You must find each one

And reveal where they are, but not til you're done.

Once you found all you must post and give links

To each missing Gnome in a spoiler, I think.

The first one to find my missing workforce

Will be gifted a Medal! of pure gold of course.

Time to save Christmas all good girls and boys

Find all my gnomes so they can make toys.

Don't let me down! Not tonight of all nights!

I know you will find them and set Christmas to rights.

The Hunt Begins Christmas Eve December 24th at 11:00am EST

(that's 2:00am December 25th for you Mage-o)

I Liked the Poem, but I thought it was Supposed to be Ho Ho Ho...

That's just the way the big guy laughs, I'm sure he allows himself a hip hip hooray from time to time.

[DaMage]

Nice poem!

Also like the time conversion

That fifth gnome looks hard to find....he is all ghost-like.

The Hunt Begins

Holiday Hunt Tips!

• There are no Gnomes in the BTA Guild or Hosted Project Forums.
  
  
• There is at least ONE Gnome in each of the forums (excluding those mentioned above )
  
  
• The Gnomes are only in threads on the first page in each forum, think popular topics and common haunts.
  
  
• The Gnomes are fond of staff posts.
  
  
• The threads containing Gnomes all have 8 pages or less.
