The White Glove Hunt
Mock Hunts
As of right now, the 2001 and 2002 aw hunts are up. still gathering clues from 2000 and 2003-2005. after that i'll be moving on to the rest of the mock hunts we've had. if anyone who's done one wants to save me some work, i'd be more than receptive to receiving the clues and explanations in an email :smile:
like i was telling aw last night, the whole thing is scripted, so getting the clues up is a fast matter of copying and pasting. procuring those clues, however.....
but normally...TMK keeps all the good stuff to himslf :wink:
5030.1
I just wanted to remind everyone that next Sunday, February 12th,
we'll have the kickoff party for the Mock Hunt at Fabulous Fern's in
St. Paul in the Blair Arcade building on Selby and Western. We have
the private room in the back. However, since we'll be expecting a
large crowd, we'll have to use a limited menu. Just to let you know
what the options will be, we have:
Fern's Burger- Cheddar cheese, sauteed, mushrooms, and onions served
with fries. $7.95
Chicken Dijon Sandwich- Panko breaded chicken breast, lightly fried
and served with dijon mayonnaise and fries. $7.95
Turkey and Swiss Croissant Sandwich- Turkey, Swiss, and mayonnaise
and fries. $7.95
The plan is to originally meet in the bar area starting around 5pm.
They have another party at 2pm that should be clearing out and we
should have the room by 5:30. We'll plan to get settled in there by
6:00pm, give out the clue, and then do dinner. If none of the above
options sound appealing, you could always order your dinner in the
bar at 5 off the regular menu.
Again, the prize for the hunt will be $500 if you're a registered
hunter and $100 if you're not. To be a registered hunter you just
have to contribute $10 or more towards the pot (could be cash or
prizes). If there's any money left over, we'll roll it over to the
next mock hunt and the person that does that will be determined by
the winner of this one.
But I am looking forward to reading the clues and putting in some noodles. Thanks AW!

He could have used the word 'tales' instead

Here's where St. Paul and Pirates connect..
The Pirate Ship Matriarch's Motto
The motto of the pirate ship Matriarch, "Test everything. Hold fast to what is good," comes from Saint Paul's first letter to Thessalonika (5:21) in the New Testament. Since all the crew members are Catholic and have a reverent attitude toward sacred Scripture, the epistles of Paul (who calls the Word of God "the sword of the Spirit") were a perfect source. This particular passage clearly describes our looting intention.
