I have made a series of clues, one leading to another, hidden throughout Mildville.
To play: Follow the clues and do what they say. Try to follow them exactly.
THIS IS NOT TIME SENSITIVE- THE FIRST PERSON TO FINISH WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE WINNER. EVERYONE WHO FINISHES GETS A SHOT AT IMMUNITY.
FIRST CLUE: Mildville VI, "THE FINAL 4"

Dead can play, but it will be scored separately. Winning dead gets to neutralize a vote

Great job, everyone who got to the end. I'm not sure anyone solved clue 1, speak up if you did.
This was my favorite puzzle to design of all time Mildville, I think.
True wins immunity. Son wins the right to nullify a person's vote.
Solution.
Clue 1 Mildville VI, THE FINAL 4
Going to mildville 6, the coffeeshop, reveals a thread labeled "The Final Four." The first post contains a rebus. When solved and re-arranged, the rebus is German for "This is the wrong area."
Why? The entire rebus was a red herring.
If you go to page 2 of the coffeeshop, there is a thread labeled "THE FINAL 4." The first post contains a cryptogram. When solved, the cryptogram reads "Jesus Christ Is Dead: A Murder Mystery."
That's the title of a novel in the reading railroad. The beginning of the first post gives a rebus. Solving, and unscrambling the rebus, says "Click on the conductor's profile" I think, not sure. On my profile there's "clue: click here and highlight." If you click the link and highlight the thread, it says "a 930 celebration"
"A 930 celebration" refers to the Happy Birthday thread for Farrel's 9/30 birthday. Scrolling down that thread reveals the instructions, "To enter the Trezure Hunnt Immmunity Chalenge: PM Evan an integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive). Whomever picks the highest number that no one else picks wins. "
Thanks for playing, everyone! Win or lose, I hope you had fun!

Zac & I worked through the whole thing together. The red herring rhebus was damn near impossible because I had no idea what that first picture was, and kept trying to replace the i in octopus (octopi).
Do we get to know all the submissions/numbers?

I picked 9 too. Not a good choice in the dead pool.
The first one was brutal. I saw "ch" so I just went to Jesus Christ is dead... Hardly genius but it worked.

So who did I cancel out with my 10?
Also, how did I not notice there was more than one page of thread titles? I feel so silly

I put 10 because I was the first person to finish, I stumbled on the conductor's link and got to the end. Great job for those who actually solved and found the other clues. Also hilarious that Evan used that final 4 thread with my epic tantrum.

How did you know you were the first person to finish?

How did you know you were the first person to finish? Because Evan told me. Also I was online when it was posted, and discovered the clue on his profile shortly after.

That doesn't make sense. He wouldn't have told said you were first until after you submitted the #, so "I put 10 because I was the first person to finish" is out of sequence. Sounds like spy-talk to me....

I get what Tulley is saying. First to finish implies she FINISHED which means she already submitted 10 in, then evan said hey wow you were the first to finish (now that I have your integer)

What I meant was, I assumed I was first because I emailed my number to Evan like 20 minutes after the thing was posted. Then he confirmed.
