Welcome to the Sunken Riddle Award Ceremony, the follow-up to my Sunken Giveaway Riddle post! The riddles were just a random idea that occurred to me one day and I thought it would make for a cool challenge if I added some high-stakes rewards to them. The topic ended up getting way more attention than I thought it would, and it was fun to watch everyone struggle together to eventually arrive at the riddles’ solutions. Without further ado, let’s get into the rewards!
There will be 4 rewards in total: Three people will be rewarded with either a sunken boots or sunken helmet, and one forumer will receive a Clean sunken sword! There were many, many people who put in a lot of work towards answering this riddle, so it was a bit of a challenge to decide who should actually get the rewards or not; if only I had a few dozen more sunkens, then I could give everyone who earned them a reward. Nonetheless, here are our lucky four!
Coming in 4th place, we have

@despicablbanana! This forumer, appearing out of nowhere, nearly swept the entire event! Their level of cunning and ability to think outside the box had me shaking in my boots whenever they started typing, truly the Batman to my Riddler! Congratulations on winning a Clean Sunken Sword, despicablbanana!
And of course I’d like to give a huge thanks and shoutout to everyone that participated in the riddle event, every single contributor’s efforts helped progress the riddle further. The topic had a bunch of activity over the course of a couple weeks and was filled with a lot of fun moments. People coming together to try solving it, bonding over being told their answer was incorrect, and falling into a soul-crushing despair at the nigh-impossible riddle was truly a beautiful thing to witness. There were also a fair amount of new forumers that joined due to riddle, and to all of you I give a big welcome! To the winners, I’ll get in touch with you for your rewards, so keep an eye out for that!
I’ll see you all in Arcane Odyssey, that’s all for now!
Until the next one?
