The event has ended. See you next year, possibly!

Greetings!

Ladies and Gentlemen, today is February 16 (for most of us anyway - I'm excluding you time-travelers for this one). And that means that it has been exactly a year since I hosted the first Catch Me If You Can event on this very forum. It was quite popular, and again this year I will be hosting a "sequel" giveaway event.

That said, it is time for you to prove yourself in a race against fellow users. Show off your ninja speeds! Prove your worth as a skillful hunter! And emerge victorious among 19 other hunters for a chance at some shitty giveaways which were probably not worth all the efforts. :D

Ladies, Gentlemen, welcome to...

Catch Me If You Can - The Second Hunt

Okay, so what is this all about?

The concept is very simple - as soon as the start time countdown reaches 00:00:00, users will be allowed to begin a hunt. What will you be hunting? Why, me, of course! As soon as the event starts, you will need to "catch" me. To catch me, simply be the first to reply to any of my newer comments with "Caught!" or "Caught you!" or whatever makes it clear that you have claimed the point on this one. At the end of the week, the top twenty users with the highest score will be granted entry to the CMIYC Steam group where giveaways will be hosted.

How about some more details?

Each catch is worth 1 point, which is added and updated to your score on the scoreboard posted on this thread. Some rules and regulations apply when it comes to catching, so please read the rules. Failing to carefully read and understand the rules may and will earn you a temporary blacklist for the duration of the event and you will be disqualified to participate. I'd prefer it not comes to this, so please just read the rules.

The event will also involve a trap/bonus system where I may sometimes comment "This is a trap comment" or something like that - this means that claiming it may result in the loss of 1 point or more! On the other hand, I may also post bonus comments which, when caught, gives you bonus points. In addition, I will be gradually increasing the difficulty of catching me, even going as far as constantly changing my profile picture. The early bird gets the worm, so be sure to be here early for the easiest catches.

Rules:

Read or be disqualified from the event!

1. You may only claim "catch" on comments I posted AFTER the date and time specified below.
2. You can only claim comments I posted in other people's threads. Comments and replies in my own threads DOES NOT COUNT.
3. Comments in any giveaways DOES NOT COUNT. That would be an unfair advantage to people who have me whitelisted.
4. Participants cannot claim my comment if it has previously been claimed by another player. In the case of a "double-claim", the first reply earns the point.
5. I will rarely reply to any "claim" replies, but if I do (example, stating rules or pointing out something about the event), it does not count as a "claimable" comment. Pretty much any of my comments mentioning this event will be invalid for a claim.
6. Do NOT participate if you already own both games. That would suck for other players. (You can enter if you want just one game, though)
7. Absolutely no cheating will be tolerated. No bots, no scripts. Suspicious participants will be investigated and disqualified.
8. If a player ignores the rules and warnings about breaking said rules, I maintain the right to disqualify them from the event and giveaways, regardless of their score.
9. Players who remain tied for a place in the "Top 20" participants list will be picked randomly using random.org.
10. Deleting your replies is not allowed, especially on traps. Play fair and take the loss like a boss. I will be monitoring everything very closely, so I will catch you in the act, which may disqualify you from the event.
