So ya wanna raid my port? Watch out for some little treasure chests!
While my port raid is going on, I've decided to plant some smaller treasures in the form of a scavenger hunt.

The Rules:

Below is a list of quotes from various static items in my portfolio. None of the quotes have any names or places. There are no clues in the quote itself that will help you pull it up with a simple search. In order to determine what quote goes where, you will actually have to read my item.

This sounds difficult - and it is - but the idea is to be certain everyone takes a close read. Most of them well sum up the piece, so if you come back to the hunt at the end, hopefully you will be able to match the items. I would suggest saving the items as you go, however.

(the rules as written in "Invalid Post"  )
The scavenger hunt has been made intentionally difficult. It includes 25 quotes from different stories in my port. No character names are mentioned, and there are no title or brief description clues. Each quote was selected because it pertains to the piece as a whole; thus, if you've read the piece, you should be able to associate it with the quote. In addition, you must have reviewed each answer you submit.

I know this is a royal pain, but my hope is to encourage 'more' reviews by encouraging you to read various items, rather than just skimming through my port the fastest.

The scavenger hunt can be submitted when you have completed reviewing (or found all of the answers). You can submit the title of the piece OR the link, but be aware if the title is incorrect, your answer will be counted wrong.



The Prizes:

25,000 gps to the first person (details below)

The Deadline:

The first person to correctly submit all items is the winner. Should no one correctly identify all of the quotes *Frown*, the winner will be the first person to submit the most correct answers. So, for instance, if Player 1 submits 16 correct answers at 5:03 and Player 2 submits 16 correct answers at 5:05 (and no one has gotten more than 16 correct answers), Player 1 is the winner.

And if no one submits answers, well, I'll just have to keep all the items for myself.
