• A special birthday is tonight, for an influential member that goes on the site. But where would you go to see such a thing? Lost so long ago not most didn't know it was existing. "There must be a pathway to it somewhere," you might say but not finding it makes you unable to plan for upcoming days. 

Harder:

• The first contest this user had done, which they had undoubtedly won. But putting the pieces together reveals why the user's victory was a steal: for their contest entry was the only one.

• This fun forum game grew quite a spectacle, but a recent censorship made it less practical. But where is this candy that you might seek? It's in a place where the reason is luspeak. But now that the word is uncensored again, it's popularity might be re-attained.

Not too bad:

• Another hidden place to speak. But which one is it? It's what you seek. Yes, what you seek but from letters to numbers, find it or this, someone else will surely conquer.

• Once a useful forum tool, the link was lost as time is cruel. Good at finding certain pages, many specific customizations. Rediscovered and showcased, you must find where this is placed.

What fun

Well! Nice job! Putting all the clues in one post (and finding them so quickly) makes me slightly suspicious, but I don't see any rule breaking. In other words, congratulations!
With 9.5 candies, you've won the halloween scavenger hunt!

Where did that number come from? 3114425 could just be a random number for all I know.

Code:

code = []

for i in "candy":
   code.append(to_number(i))

print(code)

where to_number() returns the position of the character in the alphabet

Yeah, if you assign each letter a number (a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, etc), candy gets you.

 Hello Online Sequencer! I want to give a big thank you to all the users that participated in the scavenger hunt last night! Now it’s time to announce the winners.

In first place is korwynkim with 9.5 points. Congratulations on winning! You’ll get 2 OS leaderboard points and I hope you like the trophy!

In second place is XStep with 7 candies! Nice job, you’ll get 1 OS leaderboard point.

Now, let's explain how to get to the candies that were missing.

• If you find this, it must be fate, as a *glorious* treasure awaits. The profile of the bird and a negative place to exchange words. It's the older version you must investigate.

So this was probably the hardest of all the clues. So the first thing to notice here is the *glorious.* Along with "the profile of the bird" and "the older version," it indicates towards UTC's [url=]glorion[/url]. "A negative place to exchange words" refers to one of frank's secret chat rooms with a negative ID. The ID is the negative equivalent to [url=]glorion's[/url] ID. The candy is here.

• Looks like binary but when it is transferring the devices only like seeing text programming. How was this solved? It was encoded more. I can't remember the name but it had to do with 64.

So yeah, the "candy" in this clue was slightly different. In this case, as you were supposed to get from the clue, it was in base64. All you had to do was put Q2FuZHkK (which was candy in base64) into the forum search tool. This should pop up this thread that contained the candy.

Lastly there were 3 secret candies:


The first would be found if you paid close attention to the sentences in the "How to play" section of this thread. The first letter of the first five sentences spelled out "candy."

The second secret candy was found in faded lettering in the top right corner of my profile picture for that night.


The last secret candy can be found by going to this link ---> https://onlinesequencer.net/candy.

Hope to see everyone’s participation in the future events!

That's some next level s**t.
Same for that negative chat room number based on some obscure hint, you had to be a true SVEN to do that.
