It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.
Neithe3r paper is worth the paper it's printed on, and yes I agree with your assesment of the peaks and the house #'s SOMETIME a 4 not always a for like the 5,9
When doing a search on Niedorf and reading every one of his sick comments to the people,the water cooler gang, the writers of the clues and to the Winter
Carnival, It makes the whole thing seem worthless because someone like Aaron Niedorf happen to see it. Hey Aaron didn't you get enough attention growing up.
Sounds like you are pretty hard up for a girl. By the looks of you use the 5,000 and clean up your act and by the sound of your voice and the words coming out of
your mouth, did you even get past 4th grade? Are you even sharing the money with your two friends? , or are those two guys ones that yelled PIE and you wanted
to have a couple of fake friends by your side on TV. Better watch out when you have that party, you might have a lynch mob there to meet you. In one sentence you
are sorry in another your not. But just remember the most important thing God knows the truth and what comes around goes around.
CARNIVAL COMMITTEE--Why are you so angry with Aaron? It's not his fault he just happened to be the SMART one by NOT paying attention to the clues
and just HAPPENED to go in that corner AND just happened to be at his friend's apartment across the street. We are the dumb ones to every year study the clues
the dude just edited his preferences and changed his name to Aaron Niedorf its easy.So all his messages now look as if they were from Aaron Niedorf ,but Im sure
the guy who found the Medallion never even read or posted on this board.
jennyjenny, Do a search on his name and read everything he has written in the water cooler from the beginning to the end and then state your opinion. I could care
less that he won. I do not like the way he treats human beings. I bet if he has any kind of animal or a girlfriend that he is very controlling and evil.

It would be very easy to carry on a conversation with Aaron.Just keep using freaking idiot in every sentence so he could pick out at least two words he knows.
Do you actually have to wear the button in addition to registering? Mom implies that. . . I wear mine proudly, but not on the jacket I wear while hunting - I've lost a
carnival committee--It's odd because when I search for pie, that name is gone and only aaron niedorf appears. I doubt very much if Aaron would let everyone know
HE was pie after we know who he is.
Also, i did a search on "carnival committee" and only found two references to you. And that was today. Could you be pie?

I think the medallion was hidden late Wednesday, there is no way it could have survived this long, and be so white and clean. Medallion hiders are cheaters, and the
rest of us who hunted and put our faith in the Pioneer Press are the big suckers. I bet those fat cats are sitting there laughing at us right now.
Hi all! Hey Donut Man....if you are out there I want to thank you for that great donut you brought for me!! It was nice meeting you and you were right about the
benches and backstop, etc.... you just had the wrong field! Hope we can connect again next year! Take care!! :)
I know it's frustrating that Aaron won, but you all need to back down a little. My boyfriend and I were digging 1-2 feet from Aaron and his buddies on Tuesday night
for several hours and he was a nice guy. They had a good system going with one person digging while another raked through the chunks that were broken up. Give

What the heck is going on here!
I just woke up to find a lynch mob and it reminds me of thursday night when the clue came out.
I thought they were chasing Frankenstien through the park, with the lanterns, shovels, and picks!!!!!!!! It was the high light of the hunt and will never be forgotten.
If everybody wants to be pissed at someone be pissed at the PP for the lame clues. I would not be suprised if they dropped it that day.
I was the first one to discover the typo in the inet clues when we were all digging at the north side of the big hockey rink thurs night. That was really strange!
As far as this AN guy who knows. I did see him out there yesterday with his pals but I never thought it would be in that corner. I really thought you had to see the
True Value sign. I now realize these clues are a wate of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also talked to an old timer who said about a month ago a PP van parked in front of his
house at 10 pm and didn't leave until after 1:30 am. It was snowing out. So either he dropped it then or came out to check out the site to write the clues.
PIE--"carnival committee" said that Aaron Niedorf had many postings for the last couple of weeks where he was EVIL. (that's one of the words used to describe
him). Look back at some past postings from Carnival from this morning. Anyways, when doing a search for Aaron niedorf you find many postings from the start of
the hunt. However, there are none from you. Which we all know you have wrote many! And, it's funny that you sound so human now and in past postings you
sounded so inhumane! Either you've been totally disallusioned by the hunt or you have changed the postings to say aaron. Or, as I suggested earlier, maybe carnival
committee did. Or, on the other hand, maybe you're carnival committee also. There is no previous postings from carnival committee in the last 2 weeks and all of a
sudden that name appears today. Interesting, very interesting!

jennyjenny, when going out to read Niedorf's messages he is asking if anyone wants to join him just go to the park and yell "PIE", I have no idea what that means.
Also I read the water cooler all the time I just have not logged on with my opinion until I read Niedorf's comments on people in general.
Also trumanig you should put your feeling out here on the water cooler there are lot of others that feel the same way.
Congratulations, Aaron. Someone had to find it and if it wasn't found then it would have gone to a good cause. That's the real meaning in this game, someone is
GOING TO WIN -- IF NOT US THEN, A CHARITY. I'm not sure why there's so much hate talk happening here, but it's definitely a lot different than it was last
year. Everyone was congratulating Steve and Maureen -- not cursing them for winning. I'm very disappointed -- not of Mom but of all of you.
We also read the clues to believe you had to see 3M, Sunray peaks and true value (boy was that wrong) so we were hunting by the Conway building. I never
thought it would be an address, seeing they used four sort of as an afterthought. Oh well, it was fun. And the Ground Round over there has the best best best bloody
mary's we ever had. All was not in vain!! Had fun. We saw Donut Man on tv, he may have a new career!!!
I agree that the park should have been the place but the PP does state that public ground is the place to look and they did kind of their own thing on this years hunt.
When the clue says seeing something they did it right.
You're right!! These fools will always be diggin in other locations and they'll convince their friends who just got out of the nut house to dig with them!
After reading deeply into these clues and referring them to a psychic we have determined that the medallion is either at.......listen up, because I'm only going to repeat
this once........It's at either Como park...(Perry Como the crooner) or Highland (High in the Sky) or PIE in the sky)
So Ms. Banner and Newk2 get your sorry diggin asses out to one of those two parks and go for it!!!!!!! When you find it let me know so I Can help you manage
it!!!!
To the rest of you lifeless fools, get alife and go find the freaking thing!!!!!!
I told you has beens and wannabees where it was five days ago!!!! I
also told you that it won't be found until wed. night or thurs. day morn....
Now why doesn't everybody just go home and sh$t, shave, and
SHOWER, take a long rest until tommorrow night, and I wiil hang out at the park and make sure everything is safe and secure!!!!! How bout it? Now get your tired,
smelly, pathetic asses home and take care of yourselves.
Just to show you how EASY it is to log on as someone else. You don't need to set up a new account at "aol" as someone previously stated. Save the games for the
5 year olds such as "PIE", "FOOLED YA" and the "Aaron Nierdorf" wannabees. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to change names...as you obviously aren't.
And don't call me Shirley
Neithe3r paper is worth the paper it's printed on, and yes I agree with your assesment of the peaks and the house #'s SOMETIME a 4 not always a for like the 5,9

Don't you people have any FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELLO?! (oh wait, that's me)
Hello- That's why I do this every year. But thanks for your input.JJ
well? what gives now!?
blah, blah, freakin' blah
POOR HELLO?! You ask does no one have a life but you? YOU'RE the one posting a message every few minutes.
is it against the law to show clue 12?

I think you're right. Someone just changed there message board name to Aaron N. Too bad if this is true - kind of hurtful to Aaron N.
Barbara Schotl
I think most people post messages the way they talk - not paying attention to completing sentences.
I think the medallion was hidden late Wednesday, there is no way it could have survived this long, and be so white and clean. Medallion hiders are cheaters, and the
rest of us who hunted and put our faith in the Pioneer Press are the big suckers. I bet those fat cats are sitting there laughing at us right now.

oops.. talk about improper English ... couple posts back... "changed their message board name - not there... I'm so embarrassed!
hmmm Mary...that would be FRAUD BIGtime! I don't think the PP would ever do that!! :))
I know it's frustrating that Aaron won, but you all need to back down a little. My boyfriend and I were digging 1-2 feet from Aaron and his buddies on Tuesday night
for several hours and he was a nice guy. They had a good system going with one person digging while another raked through the chunks that were broken up. Give
the guy a break!
lildebi and jennyjenny, At the bottom of the page there is a search button just click on that and enter in Niedorf and read everything he writes from beginning to the

Mary - The Pioneer Press has never done that. They hid the Medallion weeks before the contest begins.

Pie--Very odd that you changed your name to Aaron for all your past postings!
Or did someone else do that. If YOU didn't change the past PIE postings to Aaron nierdorf, some other odd duck did.

IS ANYBODY A LITTLE ICED LIKE MYSELF ABOUT THE TREASURE HUNT? THE "PARK"CONWAY IS NOT A LEGAL PARK IN ST PAUL. IN
THE 1999 HUDSON STREET MAP IT DOES NOT LIST CONWAY AS A ST PAUL PARK ALSO ON THE PAGE WHERE THE PARK IS SHOWN
THERE IS NO NAME ON THE GREEN AREA LISTING IT AS A PARK! I THINK IT WAS CLUE ONE OR TWO STATED " A PARK IS THE SPOT A
GOLF COURSE IS NOT" CONWAY IS A RECREATION CENTER NOT A PARK ANY OTHER VIEWERS HAVE A COMMENT ON THIS
SUBJECT?.
Is anyone who spent their all their time digging at the wrong park stoked. I would be...
Congrats Aaron, see you next year, buddy.
