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.
FOOLED YA
You guys might think I'm nuts and maybe I am. But, why don't we start our own treasure hunt! I could be excluded for my bad habits from collecting the reward!!!
But I also could be the one who hides the PIE and we could have a committee of three to help write the clues.
We could make it much more interesting and we could make it last over the doldrum months of march and early april!
We could kick in ??$$$$$ each and do it over coded email! Not only would it be fun, but it would be fair and challenging!
I will tell you one thing it would be alot better than the lame hunt put on by the dimwits at the PP.
We would have rules so we wouldn't wreck any parks or equipment and we could limit it to one of 6 parks. The clues could come out two per week and each clue
could have real meaning and intellectual thought.
We could make it so you wouldn't have to dig and destroy your body!
Write in and tell the Cooler Fooler what ya think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
the garage logic think tank sends it congrats to the finder of this years medallion...see ya out there next year..until then docsven can be found lurking around on
newnet irc and hanging out in gumption county.................................one more thing MAY THE CHEESE BRIE WITH U ALL!!!!!!
I was just flaming flamers! I didn't even know what the word meant until the VIKES lost and the packers started rippin us apart. I couldn't take it so I jumped in the
mess and sent them packin!!!!!
On this board The hunt turned into an obsession so I just wanted to lighten it up!
We'd all just get screwed in the end anyway!!!!!
I even predicted it would be found by someone who would just walk into the fray and pick it up!
I truely feel for all of the people who dug for hours in that tampled down mess! They should all start a class action lawsuit for throwing such a lame treasure hunt. The
problem with that is there are too many lawyers and I don't believe the system is just!!!!
FYI - - - IF ANYONE CARES, HERE'S AN INTERESTING TIDBIT..
The whole thing may end up under protest!!!! This guy's girlfriend/fiance' is on a committee for the Carnival & his parents work for the company that designed the
buttons. I didn't have much digging time invested this year 'cuz my daughters a little too young, but if I had hunted as in past years, I'd be protesting too!!!!!!
OF COURSE THIS IS HERESAY AT THIS POINT, BUT MY SOURCE IS VERY CLOSELY RELATED ON A BUSINESS LEVEL TO THE PARTIES
I think the rules for the 2000 Hunt should be ammended. You must have a register button to participate. It would generate more money for a higher prize. It would
eliminate non-serious treasure hunters like this years winner. $3.00 wont break anybodys bank. This years winner needs to be a bit more humble. You need to at
least acknowledge the effort your fellow treasure hunters put forth.

I was pissed at alot of idiots who tore that park to shreds.
I couldn't believe some of the crap these people were doing! I can honestly say I did not ruin one blade of grass.
The idiots who put this thing on should pay for the restoration of the park. I have videos of alot of these baffoons tearing up the place. It's a digrace to the winter
carnival and PP. Next year they should have more expalnations and were it wouldn't be hidden!!!!
EXAMPLE:
This is what PIE wrote on sunday!!!!!!!
I was out there for four hours last night watching the insanity develop!
There is no need to wreck anything or to dig in somebodys yard.
Use common sense and good judgement when hunting for the
medallion!
Places it is not!!!!!!!!!!
Inside a telephone wire box,
high up in a tree,
inside my pants,
in the middle of the hockey rink you freaking morons,
inside a telephone pole,
3' below ground level near the playground equipment you diggers from hell!!!!!!!!,
in the toilet of the playground,
inside the library you literary fools,
attached to a moving car,
on top of a mtc bus,
in a girls bra..........when she's wearing it you perverts!!!!!!!,
on top of the water tower you mountain climbing total freaking idiot!!!!!!!,
under the asphalt bike path!!!!!!!,
inside the air vent at the rec center,
on the sliding hill (it's not on or near the sliding hill you clueless,
bastards),
in a bird house in a back yard,
and for alot of you..... for your information it's not up your own ass so
why don't you pull your heads out of there!!!!!!!!
I printed a copy of that posting and carried it with me during the rest of the hunt. Great message, but I don't think enough people read it. This would make a great
Someone came on here yesterday calling everyone losers and suckers cause "he" found the medallion. You'd have to read previous posts. He was claiming to be
aaron niedorf. So everyone thought niedorf was an a$$hole. But it was just someone impersonating him. I'm tellin ya this guy is a "Sybil" if I ever saw one. He has
more names then a Dr Spock "Name Your Baby" book. Anyone can put a fake email address and nickname on here.
I think the biggest slap in the face is that not only did this Niedorf kid NOT have a button, he didn't go find someone who did!!! It goes to show this thing all comes
down to luck more than persistance. The FUN is in the searching...

Someone:
You sound like you just found the treasure!
Oh my God!! Don't tell me everyone left me alone with "SYBIL".. I think you should start your own "Sybil" message board all by yourselves!!
Yes it's just you and me! I have never been called SYBIL befor but it fits...
Sly
Yearning
Brat
Illiteratte
Louse
You don't think too highly of yourself huh??
No
I've gone through incredible stress levels over the holidays and my self esteem has been eroded!
let's put it this way! I've been thinking about writing a modern day version of "It's a Wonderful Life", and I would be Jimmy Stewart.
Why create so many enemies on the "medallion board" though? Why such an acid tongue? I'm sure you must have some good qualities.
is SoMeOnE there?

doc - you gonna go without saying cheese?
that a baby!
once again......MAY THE CHEESE BRIE WITH U ALL!!!!!!:)
Can we get our pictures back now ?
Newell 2000 huh? *snicker* Is it too early to start looking?

INVOLVED.
I think only Pioneer Press employees are disqualified for the hunt.
Hey, Fooled Ya, you want to sue, but you think there are too many lawyers. Do you not see the irony in that?
Sensless:
That's what I said. I have never sued anyone in my life altohough that may change. I might have to sue you for libel.
Another hunt would be fun. What about an easter egg hunt with one special egg hidden in a St. Paul park. Sometime around Easter?
Fool,
That's fine. Since you obviously don't have the faintest clue about the law, I'm not too worried.

senseful:
I'm sorry, my flamming just lit up again.
It's that VIKING thing and now it's the TREASURE thing.
Are we gluttons for punishment or what.
My brother is right. We're all insane we just don't know it!
Fooled Ya are you a.k.a PIE
Night Digger, I completely agree.
We need humility.
We need serious hunters.
We don't need previously non-interested people rushing to a park because they saw a story on Kare-11.
Map Master:
Didn't you see me at conway for the TREASURE FRAUD!
I was the guy by the rink who figured out they screwed up the inet "planes and Places" thing.
I'm beginning top think the reason they didn't give the whole ten g's is because he was related to the treasure.
"Fooled Ya" is also known as "PIE", an "Aaron Niedorf" wannabee that was on here spouting off before and as other names as well.
How does one *sign-up* for the so-called "bock hunts"?
Someone:
You don't have to kick a dead horse unless you think it can still get up!! You little tattle tale
SoMeOnE
Define spouting off - I think he was trying to help the idiots out - by saving them some time not looking in the trees and under the ground.
PIE
You want to help me write a book called "The Medallion Hunt for Dummies" ?
the new hunt is on
You guys might think I'm nuts and maybe I am. But, why don't we start our own treasure hunt! I could be excluded for my bad habits from collecting the reward!!!

Poor, Fooled Ya, you just never get a fair deal in life, do you? Woe is you.
They should run another contest, but only allow you to compete. Maybe by June you'd have a chance of finding it. But I doubt it.
Keep trying, chief. You'll get 'em next time.
Master
although I've never *prescribed* to the whole "blankety-blank for Dummies" fad, I'm convinced I NEED one on Medallion hunting!!!!!!! :)
Hey Fooled
LOVE IT!!!!!

Hey Fooled
Is it Snow@aol.com???
HA HA HA
Guess you're "snowing" us, huh?
Where's that book? "Med huntin' for Dummies" I need it NOWWW!(he,he)
Fooled YA
I printed a copy of that posting and carried it with me during the rest of the hunt. Great message, but I don't think enough people read it. This would make a great
chapter in the book.
no
I wish some of them people would have looked under the moving cars!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I figured as much
I suppose finding it is the key?
Medallion Hunting for Dummies
Chapter 1 - The Rules Chapter 2 - The Tools Chapter 3 - The Fools
Not bad for a start

Ahhhh
My brain hurts! :)
SoMeOnE
What's your point?
The last thing I'm going to say is that this whole hunt has been a fraud and very lame.
The year 2000 is near and we're still acting like we're uncivilized!
The hunt next year better portray the New Millenium in a good light or I'm checking out.
This board was as senseless as the clues and that's why the two went on parrallel planes!!!!!!!
The problem with this country is that we went from barbarism to decadence without any civilization in between!!!!! Think about it!!!
Good Point, Fooled!!!!!
I think the biggest slap in the face is that not only did this Niedorf kid NOT have a button, he didn't go find someone who did!!! It goes to show this thing all comes
down to luck more than persistance. The FUN is in the searching...
Hear! Hear! (or is it "Here, Here!")
