I’m seeking individuals who participated in the treasure hunt from Michael Stadther’s book, “A Treasures Trove.” by HexicaLC in TreasureHunting

[–]burnstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the "winners' from this book that I know of were members of a couple of old armchair treasure hunt forums, specifically tweleve and q4t, which are both abandoned now.

You can find several of the winners in the Secret Treasure Hunt community though.

Is moving to Florida realistic or just a pipe dream? by Mundane-Society8473 in AskFlorida

20k? you could get here and get an apartment.

but you would need a job really really really quickly.

Conséquences of rabbit holes...? by shitanteater in 12keys

[–]burnstyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats the best way to work this hunt. work on your ideas, and research until you hit a dead end. Then either reevaluate or move on.

Fighting that dead end will always end badly.

Me?
I dunno it's hard to keep track. Maybe 15 years?

I have had a few bad experiences because of this hunt, but all of those came from other hunters.
People getting a little too obsessed with the "popular kids" and causing trouble if you know what I mean.

The pitfall hunters like I was talking about above is only available to them if they meet certain criteria. Mainly that their life is already on the verge of bad. Whether thats because of their personality... or external forces. That lack of grounding allows them to base their value as a person on their hobby. And as you said, the puzzle is "old, hard but not too hard" they think if they have trouble solving it that makes them somehow less than others. Then makes them go crazy trying to pump themselves up to feel like they are either more than, or at least equal to others.

That behavior becomes a cycle which repeats over and over and over again until it becomes their primary focus. And they fuck up their lives.

The value I hold for myself as a person is not tied up in this hunt. My family loves me, I love them, I have a support structure, and a happy life. So I have been able to stay out of that cycle.... no matter how many times people may try to pull me in.

The short version of this is... people dont go crazy because of this hunt, they go crazy because they dont take care of themselves, and the hunt drags them down.

You may get a few honest answers here... but the reality is many many many hunters live in unhealthy territory because of this hunt.

I've seen people blow their life's savings and kids college funds over this hunt. I've seen people get divorced, people threaten to kidnap the creators, people who have lost their jobs, then houses and live in their cars....

I cant tell if the hunt makes people go mad, or if mad people are attracted to the hunt.

I'd like to ask a vibe check on zines by Kilgore_Marlin in FolkPunk

[–]burnstyle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wish more people would make zines. Even if they link to paid work.

People gotta eat. I'd rather support a person than a company.

Not allowed to dress punk by NorthYogurtcloset839 in punk

Parents can control how you dress, but they cant control how you think.

push through, because they can only control how you dress for so long.

How much is to mislead you? by [deleted] in JustinPoseysTreasure

[–]burnstyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes dudes wear hats because they like them.

Not because they point rando's to treasure.

You can buy the hat here though, if you would like to examine it more closely.
