It's Friday - and ya know what that means! Time for another Hooks contest! For those of you who are new to the site, Hooks are a cool feature here at untoldthegame.com that supplement the already awesome FREE content on our site and makes it MORE USEFUL to GM's and Players who're out there playing Untold!
We want to make it as easy and fun as possible for you to play Untold, 'cause frankly, we think the game rocks on toast - therefore, the Hooks feature. However...we're not putting it everywhere all at once! We want to make a little game out of it. So, your job is to troll through the site and look for this icon:
Wherever you find it, there'll be instructions on where to go from there (trust me, it'll be easy)... When you do, not only will you find some awesome, cool new content to help you play Untold, but you'll also have a chance to earn some UP! Read over the info, and it will give you the words you need to fill in the blanks below. When you can fill in the answers, send them to me (in order) via our site's cool "Contact" feature.
DON'T TELL WHERE YOU FOUND THE ANSWERS! Everyone who sends me the answers will get UP, but the first three to do so will be our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!
Ok, so here are the "blanks" that need to be filled in...
1. "...and as such he makes a great _________ in ______-focused adventures."
2. "...instinctively ____ it even..."
3. "The High-bred _________ are beset by the ________..."
4. "Let them play a ______ as a ________ or ___________"
5. "Why would the _____ _______ have these sorts of designs for this strange ______ ____..."
6. "Use ___________ _____ to describe the ozone-laced air..."
Ok - so what ya waitin' for - start crawlin' the site! Good luck to one and all!

I was going to make a comment
I was going to make a comment about WHY it was so hard. I had a few ideas about where it might be, and I was right. But finding it was the issue due to some location problems.
EDIT: Can't say more or I'll give it away. ;)

Not supposed to be easy...
It's not supposed to be easy; that's the point.
Location problems? I don't follow...

When you're talking to
When you're talking to someone who has been through this website reading and scanning and everything, its not hard to follow the clues. The last clue was very helpful in telling me what I was looking for and where to go. But like I said, I can't say more or I'll give things away.

You might be reading to much into this...
You might be reading to much into the clues. They're not related in anyway. One clue does not lead you to the next place to look for Hooks in the site. If that's a desire, I can try and make it happen, however (it'd b a lot more work, but...). That was not the original intention - the Hooks are placed randomly. No correlation to other Hooks whatsoever.
Hope this helps.

LOL!! NO! Not at all what I
LOL!! NO! Not at all what I meant...the clues from above...clue #6 told me what I would be looking for as far as where the hook might be on the website. It was kind of a dead give away for me. I didn't know exactly where I would be looking, but I had 2 places in mind that I would have to search. And I was right in both. There was just a problem finding it on the website.

4 of 6 for now...
I'm stuck where Dovebear was earlier (and Melissa's absolutely no help) :P
I think part of Dovebear's point is that given the last contest and the purpose of the hooks, the category to find the first two answers is fairly obvious. Exhausting those possibilities without finding more hooks, then I've moved to other similar categories and been rewarded with another two answers. I'm thinking I need to find one last spot, but I haven't found it in the general area that the others were in, even though I get the feeling I'm looking for something Klik related. I'm clicking at random, rather than exploring the site systematically, in an effort to find the last one, and so there's no good way to know how much is left unsearched or even if I'm on the right track.
I'm not giving up (and was actually being deliberately slow so I'm not in the top three) but I have no idea when I'll be done searching.

Ok, I guess I can see that. All I will say is look EVERYWHERE! :)

The other problem...
Which I am trying to explain without giving anything away is that the location of the last article does not show up on any drop down menus, at all. For a hook, it makes it complicated. The bigger problem I see is that a player trying to find that particular thread might have difficulty locating it. I found it, trying links at random,but if I was trying to run a game and use that information, I would be hard pressed to find it.

Melissa, you have said what I
Melissa, you have said what I was thinking exactly! And I agree with you 100%. That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure how to say it without giving away the clue. But you did it. And you are 100% right.

The winnahs!
Only two winners with this one:
1. Melissa
2. Lumberklik
(well, technically, we had a 1st place winner, but said winner abdicated the throne...) :P
Congrats to the both of yas! I'll be sending you some goodies in the mail soon!
The answers:
1. "...and as such he makes a great component in horror-focused adventures." from: Iq'yigat
2. "...instinctively does it even..." from: Iq'yigat
3. "The High-bred tech-heads are beset by the ravaging creatures..." from: Vector
4. "Let them play a vector as a "friend" or "side-kick"..." from: Vector
5. "Why would the Great Machine have these sorts of designs for this strange little spot..." from: Arc Welding Archenemies
6. "Use descriptive terms to describe the ozone-laced air..." from: Arc Welding Archenemies
This one was harder than the last...
What if our reality is Flux and Flux is reality? How do we know the difference?
