It's time for: The CLUB FLAMINGO SCAVENGER HUNT!
Here's how it works:
-Each clue's answer is a 5-digit number that corresponds to a post in Club Flamingo.
-That post will contain another clue, which will give you another 5 digit number! How exciting!
-For example, if a clue has the answer "12345", the next clue would be located here.
-Unfortunately, there is no quick way to find a post based only on its post number that we know of. You'll have to use trial and error - we recommend changing the page number in the url.
-Here is your first hint. Good luck!
He thinks that man is me!
Without a second glance!
That stranger he has found
This man could be my chance
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long?
If I speak, I am condemned...
If I stay silent, I am damned!
I am the master of hundreds of workers,
They all look to me
Can I abandon them, how will they live if I am not free?
If I speak, they are condemned...
If I stay silent, I am damned!
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery?
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself for evermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope, when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on!
[He steps in front of the court]
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am Jean Valjean!
[He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his chest.]
And so, Javert, you see it's true,
That man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?

Sorry for the (very late) evaluations. I guess we should have expected this, club flamingo is notorious for terrible and delinquent judges after all. Sick
Who has their very own emoticon and voice-recording business?
This hint was a breeze to solve, although it may be easier for us flamingos since we’re very fond of using the Guess What I'm Thinkin' emoticon. This was probably the shortest and laziest hint, but we did learn something about Kank from it. 5/10

Not very much subtlety with this hint, we were able to solve it by looking through the last page of their clan thread. Not really any abstract thinking needed. We are noticing a trend of learning new things about the Crafters in every hint, maybe this was an ulterior motive? Also 5/10

We did appreciate this hint having a different format from the others, we couldn’t immediately tell it was a Crafters hint at first. This hint was also slightly harder than the others. And we continue the trend of learning new things about Crafters members. 8/10

2. Tinkering with baubles is something this user loves.
3. This user found salvation their in the month of November.
First of all, we liked how each of SEHD’s hints had a different format to try to be more confusing. This hint felt pretty cryptic, although it was pretty easy to solve since its really three hints packaged as one and only one needs to be solved to solve the whole thing. We didn’t like how all three of SEDH’s hints had something to do with the person’s commanders decks, maybe they could have shaken things up a little. Overall, 8/10.
- This user used to be a knight before he was killed and reanimated by that blasted necromancer Lim-Dul.
- This user is often seen conspiring and talking with shady dragons.
- This user favours Rakshasa-like planeswalkers.
Nothing for this hint that hasn’t been covered in the review for the above hint. 8/10

The haiku was really cool, it actually stumped us for a while! Unfortunately we had already solved the hint through the first two clues, but for completion’s sake we wanted to figure out what the haiku meant before submitting our answers, and it was definitely the biggest challenge of this clan contest for us. 10/10!
Sounds rather interesting. Obviously some clan members shouldn't participate because they have a known picture of them on this site somewhere. *Cough* Iso, Meggido *cough*
I look forward to seeing what comes of this clan contest though.

I don't see that as a problem. It doesn't have to a picture, it can be *anything*.
(And even if they have it, if it's not their profile picture or anything, they can still use a picture if they want to. Makes other clans work hard to find that original picture assuming they even can...)
Updated. Also, it's a good idea to start already discussing with people who might be your candidates for this CC. X will be something between 1 to 3, depending how many clans we do get.

Next phase has started: Each clan should pick 3 members amongst them and create elaborate hints about those people. And, like said, those hints can be *anything*. Get really creative!

Will we list a various number of hints and the answer is one of three choices (like a match-up), or have a number of hints and everyone else has to guess which three members of your clan they are?
Should there be a set number of hints, like 3 hints per person, for a total of 9 hints per clan?
(I'm too sick at the moment to whip up an example, so you have to live with this.)
Let's put it like this: I give each clan 3 spoiler tags and allow you to fill them with whatever you want. Then, when the guessing begins, there will be 9 people and 9 spoiler tags and each clan should figure which name and spoiler tag respond each other.
Also, there might be small changes to scoring (that part which determine how much points you get for your answers).

Your Clan roster is out-of-date.
@void I look a little different than I did in that picture these days.
I'm trying to get someone from Spirit of EDH to take responsibility for this contest, so that we'll have 3 clans at least.
Will we list a various number of hints and the answer is one of three choices (like a match-up), or have a number of hints and everyone else has to guess which three members of your clan they are?
Should there be a set number of hints, like 3 hints per person, for a total of 9 hints per clan?
Like:
This [Crafter] has a demon oven in his avatar.
Options:
Kankennon
Lord Grey
Abe Vigoda
or ???
