Manydeti!

Completely loopy from exhaustion right now, but also quite happy. There are many reasons for this

Manydeti!

Man, I was going to post exactly that.

[platypuslord]

It was late in the hunt and we were tired.
The wheel said:
O H A
R B
E L Aand we went, "ABALEROH? That can't be right. Context suggests this should be something we eat at our own risk. ORAL HERB?"

Later, the wheel said:
I M A
T N
E D Yand we spent way too much time trying to figure out what MANYDETI was.

is denorae one of the people above? (I'm being careful not to say this person's name, to respect their privacy)

[joyful_vydra]

Possibly? The recent entry about gum on coffee would suggest yes.

[gustavolacerda]

Send my greetings. :-)

denorae is the intersection between my LA/LJ and CMU friends.

[aleffert]

It is fact!

Heh... I'm glad I saw this post just after today's unicycling... otherwise it might have led to another bout of wanting to be in the bay area like everyone else.

Also, I'm curious about the puzzle hunt - Google had a couple scavenger hunts run by a group called Shinteki that sound vaguely like what you described. Was this them, or are there other groups in the area that do this?

It was run by these guys http://playdash.org/

Shinteki are a professional organization. They will run a hunt for your corporation in exchange for legal tender.

http://www.bayareanightgame.com/index.php?title=Main_Page are amateurs; their rule is that whoever wins the hunt is tagged to run the next one. (A given hunt may be run multiple times, eg, Sat/Sun, or mirrored in Seattle and SF, so this is in theory more than stable.)

http://playdash.org/ are a new group. It's not clear what motivates its volunteers.
