Always fun to learn new things about the sitewhen the biweekly update was a weekly update. and we had our first ever GM and no plot highlights.

Unfortunately though Mia, I'd have to say that this treasure submission does not count. The Weekly Update is not The Bi-Weekly Update.
Additional info to those curious as well (sharing this because I had to do some digging anyway), the reason Linda's, our first ever GM, first Weekly Update had no plot highlights is because plot highlights didn't exist yet
The plot highlights section, initially called Plots (At A Glance) were started 3 months later!
Weekly Update
Hello all! :D I am pleased to announce the first weekly update in a while that is on-time (according to EDT ;) ). I'd like to extend another thank-you to all the members on HNZ who've been more than patient with myself, Livvy, and even Linda, as we went about different things in our own lives...

okay. after going therough from old to new this is patycakes first one without highlights. (i mean i could have used my own first one with no highlights. (spoiler: if there were no highlights, I often used to look for some anyway, so it was a while before i had none.)

I do think its v funny I had a pretty easy to find one and then I deleted it because I worried it wasn't right because I wasn't sure about the rules. It ended up being okay but I still deleted it so someone else could use it but no one has

Ya'll are doing greeeeat 
Hope ya'll did some plot highlights 
Remember that if I've given you a Cheers, your treasure is given a point! If you get a Chuckle, your treasure is right, but unfortunately can't give it a point. Aaaand if it doesn't count, well I'll probably explain why it doesn't so you can try again
Now I know ya'll been enjoying the Search function of the site So let's make it more interesting to see what you find 
I don't know about you guys, but sometimes, I just lose muse and things get left up in the air for a bit and then suddenly all the muse comes back and suddenly it's a new year Very unfortunate... Unfortunately-er, I had a habit of still replying if I remember the thread, the plot, and I have the muse... Does that happen to ya'll too?
Happy hunting people~!

Rose I promised to write as soon as I was sorted and in a dorm. Well, night has fallen and I've settled into bed. I made it into Hufflepuff. I think it's the house for the kind and hardworking. It's the only one that really makes sense, I suppose. Slytherin is for the clever and ambitious...

coming back to this now we're at a new hunt, the one I had linked first was our current active BWU as it is only Kiersten's second and it is the first of hers without any highlights!I do think its v funny I had a pretty easy to find one and then I deleted it because I worried it wasn't right because I wasn't sure about the rules. It ended up being okay but I still deleted it so someone else could use it but no one has
Question about this, what does it mean if you can't give it a point? Just if you've posted on the wrong account or something? and if you do get a chuckle, can you also still try again?Remember that if I've given you a Cheers, your treasure is given a point! If you get a Chuckle, your treasure is right, but unfortunately can't give it a point. Aaaand if it doesn't count, well I'll probably explain why it doesn't so you can try again

Well sometimes we have someone who didn’t sign up but provide the right treasure
But yes, also can’t give a point if you’re using the wrong account 
But if that’s the case you’re always still free to repost with the right one during the 24-hour period!

nope.Also gimme post number since you gave me a thread link (I mean I can see which one you mean but but ya know)
Despite getting every single clue with a valid answer even reposting when i was told it wasnt valid, so few of them have counted without being told or pointed out why and the only comment on what the reactions meant before this morning was in an edit on a post in the middle of fridays submissions. after several of my posts already didnt count.
i am now so far behind on the scoreboard there is no point.

Alrighty folks - we have a 3-way tie!
For the last prompt, we're asking that the 3 top point earners - @Zennon Baros @Amber Chou Wilson @Lilith Ilves - look for a special post. The first one to find the correct post and share it here wins the Treasure Hunt! You must link directly to the post and not just the thread.
Final Prompt: Find a post containing a Treasure Chest GIF written in 2020, with the word "twenty" in the post, and that has 20 words exactly in the post.
Best of luck!
