Subject: HIM again. (Halloween '22)
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: Oct 27 22
Can't we ever get rid of this Evi guy? At least this time he doesn't want to destroy the site. He just wants to make it so expensive to become a member, remain a member or ever have been a member to be in the past that it would bankrupt you to ever think of trivia again.
And, well, he's not even doing it by buying the site - he's just enclosed it in some rusty excuse for a theme park... I don't really trust his stuff. Anyway, we tried to sue him (of course), but he has all those lawyers on his side.
So I guess the only way to solve the problem is the usual one - play his game, hunt him down, lock him up.
At least it won't be any problem of where to start. He's placed an entrance right first thing in the challenge tower.
Which means here:

Go get him. For good. We can't deal with this every time we just want to prepare for November QuiWriMo...
Oh yes - the usual Evi rules apply:
- You can freely discuss the challenge on your team boards. He can't access those. For maximum fun, I recommend team leaders make two threads: One with only hints and discussion and a second one where people can post exact solutions. That way, players who want to figure out it on their own won't accidentally see a solution.
- In public boards, we can't give away any of our progress as he might take countermeasures. So while you can point some mild hints, anything that amounts to an actual solution is a no-no and you can expect him to show up and remove that.
- If you absolutely can't get anywhere, ask a friend in direct message. But please keep that to a minimum.
- None of the tasks should require a Gold Membership to complete (unless someone messed up). He wants all the money for himself.
Out of character notice: This year's challenge is a bit more puzzle-heavy than the previous two. Read the clues very closely and make sure you don't miss any keywords. In return, you should have a relatively easy time actually finishing the tasks once you figured out what to do. It's only one that might be a tad harder.
