After seeing all those copycat contests with cringeworthy prices I thought it's time for the original hamstercontest to come back
The forum will have to solve brain twisters to unlock the 12 tiers of hell to help the hamster of dark inclinations to summon the hammer of doom and finally unlocking the prize money.
Pete the pig and the hammer of doom
This will be the prize money when the combined forum manages to unlock all tiers.
But be warned, there is also a seahorse of the abyss participating this time
The Seahorse known as Washercollector was once the champion of the Sunken Isles, but his motives are as mysterious as those of his people. We all know the importance of the Drylanders' shipping lanes, how empires may rise and fall according to who controls the open water. Far less is known of the submarine lanes, and how the warring tribes of the Meranthic Diaspora have carved out habitations through endless undersea skirmishes. In the fragile treaties between the Mer and Men, we can glimpse the extent of the drowned empires, but their politics appear complex and opaque. It would seem that Washercollector tired of such petty strife, and set off on his own, loyal only to his abyssal god, Maelrawn the Tentacular. He stalks the shallows now in search of riddles and conundrums who stray into his path.
Time will tell if it's good or bad. I honestly don't know its intentions.
To be a Numista contest it has to last at least 9 months, have multiple winners but prizes for only 2 of them and then have the organizer take out the grand prize.

Be careful when pointing stuff out.
Whatever. The competition starts next week. There will be devilish puzzles but the prize money is high. The highest in Numista's history!!!!!
The Maples are unlocked when reaching level 6, the bats at 10 and at 12 there is the hammer of doom which comes to action and the gold coin will be paid out. The amount in the pig is donated to the animal shelter.
If the puzzle are not solved the coins remain with me and the dopey critters from the shelter starve to death. I do not care.
Whether the forum solves it together, in teams or individually is all the same to me. It is paid out only for correct answers. Tactically one could simply read along, leech the infos and post the answers in the last second. But I want to sow here no discord
There is also the possibility to call for the seahorse three times to consult it. Which effects this has I do not know.
1 - Yes
2 - No
3 - Maybe
4 - 42
5 - Only if your mother begs really nicely
6 - The Sultan of Brunei
7 - Bruce Willis was dead the whole time
8 - Toe jam
9 - Squeal like a Piggy
10 - The leaning tower of Pisa
11 - Aquaman
12 - Muenzenhamster

In all seriousness, is it possible to perform surgery on the pig to get out the coins rather than slaughter the pig? It's a beautiful looking bank and it would be a real shame to bust it up. It's even my favourite colour
Sadly no.
Years ago i bought it from the dumpyard fleamarket and filled it gradually up with 2 and 5 cent coins. The 1 cent coins went into that big bottle from the first game.
