Since the easter egg hunting was so populair, there is a new game up and running! As you ca see the banner has been shot. You will have to find out who did it. If you join the game, you will get a clue. Each clue is a hint on which item page you need to look. When you have it right, a link will show up. Click it to read the next clue.

Unlike egg hunting, there is no need to be the first one to click the clue. Scores are tracked per player, the timer starts running when you view the first clue and will stop when you find the answer to the Mystery of the banner!

Some hints:
- Quick search can come in usefull, with the right search terms you should be able to find most on the first page.
- Some clues are a reference to some old classics (enemies, puzzles or whatever) from TR1-5....
- If you can't do it the easy way, use brutal force: heavy machines open doors just as easy as a key.

Sorry that I haven't got the time to take part

But this is a brilliant idea

Good of you to take the time to organise, and sort out all the links etc

Oooh yay a new game! =D

I read the clue, and I think this is going to be very hard to find

What will I see on the item page, if I'm not the right page?

First clue seems to be pretty hard, so here is another hint:

Look for an overwatch point, a building of construction from where you can view the banner.

When you are on the right page, a link should show up that brings you to the clue.

I'm on the first one and it's so hard!! It has to be something elevated, a ladder or rope? Bridge? I'm going to keep looking. It would be nice if we could have another hint though

I think Trinity's going to win this one again

Trinity, do you remember Tomb Raider Chronicles, VCI levels? Some clues are a reference to that ^^ While another hard one is a reference to a TR2 enemy.

I'm surprised the answer to Nr. 8 isn't this one:

Any hints?

The answers to them are really simple, just try not to think too deep into things. Like what opens a door, reference to an older game? Just type key words in quick search and lots of different items come.

The banner has been fixed, just in time for the birthday of TRSearch

So who did it? Three people (White Tiger, usuki_frenzist and God Horus) found it out: it was done by Aliens.

So here are all the clues explained:

The banner is pretty high, the shooter must have climbed on something...
What is the best way to have a clear view of your target? A Guard tower of course.

This tower looks high enough to have shot the banner from, if you have a sniper rifle that is.....
The Dragunov sniper rifle rifle is perfect for this kind of job.

A bullet is missing in this gun.... There is a small computer disk here too, wonder what's in there...
To read a computer disk, insert it into Computer station

I inserted the computer disk, it says read error, ask the frozen guy for help...
He does everything you ask him to do, is always helpful, but in return everybody locks him in the freezer. Who else then Winston.

Well he doesn't say much when frozen, shouldn't have put him in the freezer...
And how do you unfreeze Winston the quickest? Use brutal force, use a Flame thrower

Wow, he unfroze winston in less the a second! Winston says there is a supercomputer behind the big metal door in the basement that should read the disk, only that there is no way to open the door....
There is no door that can resist this powerful laser!

No way to open a door? Yes there is!! The computer says the answer is in the stars and you have to look north... Guess I have to look at the stars this night
Well this is easy, just go outside and look at the Star night horizon.

Well it's night, I see the stars, but which direction is north?
A compass might come in useful here

Ok, I have the stars, I know what direction to look, now what... wait, I see something, it goes really fast, it can impossible be....
Aliens!!! That's why the avarage computer couldn't read the disk. I should have know.
