Yay, thanks. I'd like to keep it exciting and would choose the MegaPuzzlemaster Coupon if I may.

There is no problem with that. I have noted it down in my MegaPuzzlemaster notebook.

I already had the bundle. I was just bored so thought I'd write something up, unless I get distracted and stop halfway through. Here goes!

The ballad of Nigel the table.

Once upon a time, there was a table who was called Nigel. Having been born a mighty oak tree, they were able to hold many items in one place with very little difficulty. This skill was considered scandalous by some, and humbly accepted by others who coexisted with Nigel in the mighty land of Ikea.

Across the land, high over the bedspread mountain and just past the valley of the bathroom furnishings lived a group of toasters who were jealous of those born with legs. For this reason Nigel, being a particularly stringent user of allergen-free produce, was often sent full gluten toast in the mail as a sign of contempt.

The latest shipment of kingsmill had been particularly distressing, and Nigel could not take it any longer. Calling upon a close group of friends, warriors, and cutlery, including Gerald of Kent the minstrel fork, Jennifer of Cardiff the chair, and Keanu of Grimsby the butter knife, preparations soon began. Gathering a number of key items including a uh. medallion forged by the promethean fires of mount olympus, a handful of questionably soiled pennies and a sackful of pain they were finally ready.

This mighty group of travellers faced many hardships on their way to the inexplicably castle-like cage housing the evil toasters. They had to defeat the story breaking lack of sentience and smite the hallucinatory aftereffects of suspension of disbelief alike. They had to collect a set number of toothpicks for an old OCD ritual which Nigel was never quite able to beat out, no matter how much cognitive behaviour therapy the teatowels gave him. They grinded these toothpicks into sharpened weapons till the sun came down. They had explored the dungeons of the clothing department and collected the lingerie of regret. By the time they had reached the gates of the toasters' cage, their pockets were brimming with gold, experience, and random items which somehow felt like they would be needed in the upcoming battle.

The final battle was about to begin. By using a combination of guile and toothpicks they had managed to pass the gates. A number of toasters appeared, at least two shelves of them, and a major brawl started. Nigel vanquished a large number of foes using their medallion and the magical sackful of pain which they had collected on their journey. Nigel's most formidable ally and lover, Jennifer, had been surrounded by the last shelf of desperate, vengeful toasters. Nigel was distracted and powerless after his massacre. Gerald had set the mood with the Band of Brothers score and while surrounded by the toasters rolling around spontaneously clicking, Nigel was trapped in thought; "would the merciless killing one day be justified?" At the last moment Keanu used Omnislash and the tides of battle were turned. Only the citadel of Hovis remained.

In the citadel, the mighty Hodor, king of toasters awaited out hero's party. All Keanu muttered was "whoa" and the battle was underway. The battle was long and arduous. Many slices of bread were used and many overly exuberant "pop"s of toast were missed. By a pure stroke of luck, Nigel was able to hit Hodor in the grill, its fabled weak spot, causing a massive eruption of light and, strangely, bloodied toast.

Tired and inanimate our heroes went back to reality, where they ordered a large quantity of nothing. They sang songs of silence and the people rejoiced. Our heroes had become the appliances of Ikea once more, satisfied in their tasks and confident that with the test run so successful, there was hope for the fated final battle against mankind!


really bored

That was awesome! I really enjoyed it!

I'm enjoying this giveaway a lot, gets the mind moving more the the regular "I'm in" giveaways. I shall be checking in here to see how the rest of the giveaway turns out.

For everyone who has entered anything yet... THERE'S STILL TIME! I don't plan on giving up any time soon so you might as well join in the fun.

Your welcome!

I'll also add to my original post that you can enter any and every challenge!

Finally got new stock in the MegaPuzzlestore! Hopefully those with coupons find something they are interested in and those who haven't bothered entering yet find a reason to!

I'd love to redeem the MegaPuzzlemaster Coupon and take Creatures Exodus (GOG). I played the first game of the series when it came out and would surely enjoy its successor.

Seeing as though challenge 4 is going extremely slowly I've been forced to add challenge 5 early. Challenge 4 is still underway and I won't give out prizes until a decent number of entries have appeared. Seeing as it is quite tough l the prize has been increased to two items from the MegaPuzzlestore.

Please post every idea you have so that you have the chance to win a minor prize (and keep the post bumped) unless you want to PM me so you can keep all the glory for yourself. The more people that join in the more inclined that I will increase the major prize even higher. So please tell everyone to join in either by telling them or keeping the post bumped up!

Good puzzling everyone!

I'd been wondering what the light-blue boxes in the crossword were. Each of the three contains the letter U.

Don't have theories about the other puzzles yet, just basic observations. The Mario image contains an M and the maze resembles an O.

Anyway, I'm guessing that there is information (like UUU) to be extracted from each of the four puzzles, and it combines to answer the Secret of MPCS1.

Three "U's you say, an "M" and an "O", as Nigioh is from Oz, that'll be Mount Uluru ;-)
