Hey folks, Scavengers will be indefinitely halting the Twist Submission process. The decision of future twists will be handled solely by Scavengers Staff, as was the case prior to our September 2018 update. We intend to continue bringing you entertaining ladder twists in upcoming months, so please look forward to it!
Note that this change affects only the ladder twist decision process. Every other function of the Official Scavengers Ladder will remain the same for the time being. Thank you!

Consolation Prize: The Frozen One [01:13:57], God of Hypermeth [01:37:15], miketheentei [01:48:12]

Solution:

1) Heya, folks. A few quick clarifications that are applicable to all questions in this hunt, unless explicitly mentioned otherwise: a) If there are multiple answers, they are to be arranged in alphabetical order. b) All answers use diacritics wherever necessary. c) Snaquaza is goodly. Anyways, now that we've got that out of the way, let's start! Scavenge `yes` or `yeet` to get started. Also, heads up, the theme for this Odyssey is Flashback. Expect a lot of Scavenging. :) [yes / yeet]
2) Two users wrote the `A Glimpse of the Scavengers Room` article. One of those was Painter Espeon. Who was the other? [wizardsofdra]
3) The weekly tour that AegisiumZ won in Scavengers was of this tier (do not include [Gen]). [Hackmons Cup]
4) A certain user's latest official was on February 7th, 2019 (GMT). How do you spell their name backwards? [O E L C]
5) The Scavengers website has exactly one article in the News section. On the page linked by the last hyperlink on the article, name the first location mentioned outside of the Notes section. [Cherrygrove City]
6) This user was the winner of the first Hunt of the Week (Hint: The Hunt of the Week page was linked by Meicoo in July, 2018). [rafooa11]
7) One puzzle on the Scavenger Puzzle Weekend (The December 2018 one) did not require any hints from the participating teams. A certain team was the first team to solve that puzzle. Spell the team's name backwards. [eman yttihs]
8) This was the first user to congratulate Flerovium on getting #Scavengers in 2017 by making a post on their Smogon profile. [adiass]
9) This PS! user was promoted to Global Driver immediately before Meicoo was. [Truth]
10) In the Scavenger Puzzle Weekend (The December 2018 one), SunGodVolcarona was in this team. [Ez Acertou v2]
11) This user created a Scavenger Hunt thread on July 27, 2014. [Darnell]
12) Scavengers' UGM 3 Puzzle Weekend featured this villainous team. [Team Rory Rocket]
13) This was the shortest team name in the first UGM Scavenger Puzzle Weekend (exclude the word `team` while solving and answering). [H]
14) In the first mini-official to ever be hosted, one user came in the top three, who is not currently a roomvoice or higher in the Scavengers room. Their name featured a Pokémon that can be obtained at this location in Pokémon Rumble Blast. [Echo Valley]
15) This user placed first in the Scavengers Official held on April 1st that was inspired by Ten Years Later. [Snaquaza]
16) This move once only dealt damage if the user was previously hit by a Normal / Fighting-type move. [Counter]
17) This is the only former staff (as per the Scavengers website) whose name exactly matches that of a Pokémon. [Abra]
18) Many years ago, an official hunt was created that holds the record for the longest time taken for the first finisher to complete it. This hunt is notorious for its Q2, which required solvers to watch an entire movie. It also mentioned this Pokémon twice. [Victini]
19) The names of all former room owners (as listed on the Scavengers website) contain every letter in the alphabet except two. There's only one Pokémon that contains both those letters adjacently and in alphabetical order. Rearrange the letters of its name in alphabetical order. [E K O S T V W]
20) The highest points ever achieved in a single month's ladder were recorded in this month (format as month, year). [November, 2018]
21) This Pokémon replaced Espeon in the Winter Scavengers Roomintro. [Glaceon]
22) GUESS WHAT GUYS I'M STILL A ROOM OWNER (What's the final answer to the hunt associated with this quote?) [Er]
23) This was the last answer to the first hunt to be posted on the current Scavengers Hunt thread. [Regigigas]
24) The earliest fully-recorded Scavenger Hunt (including questions) on Smogon had this as its second answer. [Swirlix]
25) Snaquaza once wrote an article called `How to Win Scavenger Hunts`. Who illustrated it? [Regime]
26) Amongst the current roomauth (Voices and higher) of the Scavengers room, two users are tied for the longest usernames. One of those is an alt of a roomowner, the other one has this as the most frequent letter used in the name. [O]
27) You're almost done! Fun tidbit, when Scavengers started out, you had to join rooms to solve the hunt. Quite literally, an Administrator created private chatrooms named after the answers, and those had the next hint posted. Scavenge OK to react to this. [OK]
28) The user who placed last in the earliest recorded Scavengers Ladder on the Scavengers website had this Pokémon in their name. [Manaphy]
29) Metapuzzle: Use /scav viewhunt (Ignore the introductory question) [Joim]




Yes, I flooded. <3

Also, this hunt was so bad I got demoted for it. Thanks for letting me have a good time over the past year, and I'm glad to have been a part of this.
