Well we made it! Thanks to everyone who survived the St. Paddy’s Day SOS server slorkfest. Due to the confusion around here, we’re trying a new game for the Wind Moon only. It’s pretty easy but also kinda hard.
It goes like this. This month the Full Moon will shine on all past Survivors of the Month. Hidden in the Survivor of the Month and Hall of Famer profiles will be a number of words or letters that will turn the colour of moonlight YELLOW.
To win, you just have to re-read the survivor profiles and find the moonlit word and letters and write them down.But then comes the hard part. The next step is to arrange the moonlight words and letters in the right order to reveal a sort-of-secret SOS message.
(And no, it is not keep on keeping on! Although please don’t forget to do that anyway.)
When you think you have unscrambled the secret SOS message email it to me at seth@sethonsurvival.com. We will draw a winner from among the winning entries if there is more than one.
The game begins NOW! as the full moon rises and continues until there is a winner. I’ll be around catching up on all the true Survival stories playing out now at SOS and making links so I’ll be checking my email throughout the night.
Last thing, who can play? Well basically anyone who has ever left an SOS message that was interesting or inquisitive or imaginative or educational or fun. You make Survival worthwhile.
The prize of course is still a small iTunes number in your email for you or somebody you like, no strings attached. Actually ONE string attached. That you keep on being supernaturally awesome wherever you are, because that helps us all survive.

Seth I have a huge problem
Firefang are you ok
No my ankles twisted and I almost wolfed out on my friend and I can’t outrun Area 51 because of my ankle and its a full moon I’m doomed to be an exsperanment aventually
I know that was a long time ago, but you should find a secure crib. Inside and out. And also hidden.
A challenge a snake is well suited to. Although, if I figure it out, I won’t be able to email you.
This is gonna be fun!
An different approach, interesting but boring.
Simple
It’s a contest no one can win, and to offer this challenge with no way to win is only adding bad rep to you, Seth. I have scanned through every page, and not one word has been turned yellow.
Unless, of course, there already has been a winner, then please do enlighten us and tell us who it is.
It says the contest starts tonight.
*facepalm*
What happened?? Only the first 3 or 4 survivor of the month profiles have been lit by moonlight!
Hail Silvermoon,
The contest is being implemented right now. Unfortunately I am just a human* and have no magic to just make it all turn on at once. You can keep track of the words so far and I will post a hint when I’m done!
Thanks for keeping on.
Seth
Thanks Seth! That would be awesome if you had magic like that 🙂 but Aproximately when do you think you might get finished?
Hail Silvermoon,
I know right? Maybe if I ever make it to one of those Wychcraft fairs between worlds I’ll find a spell. I’m just not sure which one it would be though yet. A cloning spell? Too dangerous. Then you have deal with all those copies of you running around. A Graham-enslavement spell? Nah. He’d eat all my pizza.
Anyway, I think the moonlight effect is there. Now I will post the clues….
Seth
Are we allowed to email more than one answer?
Hail Silvermoon,
Sure but only correct entries will be counted and only one correct entry per survivor will count.
Seth
Ok thanks Seth 🙂
Let me guess, the * after human indicates the possibly being 1/8 Loch Ness monster? Ah, the most obscure things a snake’s mind will remember one saying.
Much too easy, figured out in less than ten minutes. *yawn* Maybe a more complex challenge next time, perhaps involving a search through the archives to find the answer?
Hail AV,
Well I guess I’ll have to make the next one harder (If you do in fact have the right answer, I am not going to look until later cause I like a little suspense, don’t you?). This is my first try at this after all so please let me have a few kicks at the can to iron out the chipmunks as they say.
So after we see how many right answers I get and some post contest interviews with survivors we will see about adjusting the difficulty level for next time.
Can I ask you one question? Was that a fun “less than ten minutes”? How long do you think something like this should take? Like if it started taking longer than 30 minutes would you get frustrated and quit? Should it be scrambled letters instead of whole words? Any other advice you have for me?
Ok so I guess that was a lot more than one question, hopefully you will answer them all.
Thanks.
Seth
AV – I like it. Sorry, random answer is random XD
But on a more serious note, perhaps if it was scrambled letters? Anagram sites are great for things like that.
Or wait – take the quote, scramble it, and see if we can solve it using an anagram site.
In case you can’t tell, I like anagrams
