Thanks to aQrator and Tapler for Qcing the hunt!

1st place: Menace02 [39:40].

1) (This hunt is based on the Warhammer 40k parody series "If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device"! Answer with full names wherever applicable) As an Inquisitor in hot pursuit of a conspiracy that may even affect the Golden Throne, you and your agents have at last gathered some information that may point to the source of this conspiracy. The information presents itself in pieces of parchment, each containing a string of seemingly unrelated questions. Determined to decipher the mystery, you and your apprentice start solving the questions. "Chairbound Prankster is the name of this character’s theme." | Fyodor karamazov |
2) In a special episode involving Magnus the Red, Kitten and Tzeentch; this object, trademarked by Hasbro Inc, summoned the Chaos God Tzeentch. | Ouija board |
3) The composer of the ending theme used from Episode 14 onwards is credited under this name. | Stringstorm |
4) This is the name of the author of the book that was the subject of discussion in the last episode of "If The Emperor had a Podcast" series. | Ian watson |
5) This Spessbook chat client is used by deities of the Immaterium to communicate with each other. | Warpchat |
6) This Astartes/Space Marine chapter successfully completed the task of bringing Magnus the Red back to the Emperor from the Eye of Terror in a box. | Ultramarines |
7) This is the title of the episode in which the chapter master of the Dark Angels makes his debut. | You're green with it |
8) This is Rogal Dorn's wall name in the “If The Emperor had a Podcast” series. | Adorable |
9) The "BEHEMOTH" series stars an inqusitor from this Ordo of the Imperial Inquisition. (exclude the word Ordo) | Xenos |
10) This location, accessible via the Webway in the Emperor's palace, shares its name with a division of Games Workshop. | Black library |
11) The first episode of “If The Emperor had a Podcast” ended with an argument between the Emperor and Dorn on what day of the week this food item should be eaten. | Tacos; taco |
12) The captain of this shield host of the Adeptus Custodes ends his sentences with . | Shadowkeepers |
13) "Green Terra! Even the Custodes?", your apprentice exclaims with surprise. "These questions are designed to irk and vex you. Do not fall for their trap.", you say and continue solving the questions, "This character has died 5 times on-screen." | Vulkan |
14) In the “If The Emperor had a Podcast” series, this character is the vox-hailer serf who holds the vox-hailer. | Boy |
15) This is the name of the children's card game played between the Emperor and Kitten in the first special episode in the series. | Paradox-billiards-vostroyan-roulette-fourth-dimensional-hypercube-chess-strip-poker |
16) Two members of this Astartes chapter argue whether scones are cakes or sandwiches in Episode 27 of the series. | Blood ravens |
17) This Chaos God of Anarchy… is nonexistent. | Malal |
18) This was the only character (aside from Magnus) who completely read the rule book in the Tabletop Adventures special episode. | Grand provost marshal |
19) A Reclusiarch from this Astartes chapter attempts (unsuccessfully) to ban Sanguinala. | Black templars |
20) This Custodes was the one of the first Custodes to encounter the Laughing God, said encounter contributing to his fear of clowns. | Wamuudes |
21) This Texan voice actor's failed British accent sounding like an Australian accent led to some misunderstandings about said voice actor's nationality and a short episode making fun of said misunderstangs. | Zegram|
22) In the first special episode, the Emperor sacrifices three of his monsters to summon this Yu-Gi-Oh monster which he refers to as "Mega Ultra Chicken." (exclude "the" in the answer) | Winged dragon of ra |
23) In the special episode Tabletop Adventures, the Throne Room group is tasked by Magnar Buckethead to guard him in his visit to this public Imperial establishment. | Zoo |
24) The Brotrip 40000 series features Vulkan and the Primarch of this Astartes legion going on a "Brotrip" across the galaxy. | Raven guard |
25) A letter from an overlord of this Xeno race in the third podcast episode caused Helbrecht to suffer a breakdown and start "crusading inwardly." | Necrons; necron |
26) One of the Emperor's first orders after being supplanted with a text-to-speech device was for Kitten to cut this Primarch's life support. | Roboute guilliman |
27) You suddenly feel like you've arrived back at the right place with the last answer but something seems amiss. "Are those all the pieces of parchment? Were there any others?", you ask. "Yes, that is all.", your apprentice replies. You feel there should be another question. You check all answers from the beginning. Something feels sinister and very slightly out of place with the first answer and each subsequent answer progressively seems to shift farther from the truth. Suddenly everything clicks in place and you work it out! So, who unlocks the code to the conspiracy? | Randolph Carter; SpeakerD |
The last question hints at the existence of another question hidden among the answers. "Check all answers from the beginning" tells the solver that they need to pick the first letter of each answer. Piecing the first letter of each answer together gives: FOSIWUYAXBTSVBPBMGBWZWZRNR which doesn't quite make sense.
"Something feels sinister and very slightly out of place with the first answer" implies the first letter is not quite correct. "each subsequent answer progressively seems to shift farther from the truth" tells the solver that they need to "progressively" "shift" each letter (i.e a progressive shift cipher) starting with the first question. The word "sinister" gives the direction in which the shift needs to be applied i.e to the left. There are 26 (non-hidden) questions so the first letter of the last answer has no shifts involved indicated by "you've arrived back at the right place with the last answer."

Shifting the letters according to the instructions above gives: EMPERORSORIGINALVOICEACTOR or EMPEROR'S ORIGINAL VOICE ACTOR which is Randolph Carter (also known as SpeakerD)

As an extra hint the 13th question contains two pairs of words transformed with ROT13, i.e green<->terra and vex<->irk. Also, the words decipher and code imply the use of a cipher.

Thanks to everyone who participated! ^^

Our newest twist is Wikirace: After completing the official, users can find the fastest path from the answer of Q1 to the answer of Q3 using Wikipedia racing rules. Routes are submitted to the hunt's creator while the hunt is running, and the player(s) who finds the shortest route gets 5 points! You can submit as many times as you like, so go nuts with racing!

In unrelated news, Aegii has become our newest room Moderator, and gratz to Menace02 for becoming our newest voice!

Race towards first place in this extra fast month!

The twist for this month (and the next, since the code is not there yet as of writing this. Almost though) is to be Spam Filter: Every incorrect guess adds 30 seconds to your timer!

Get ready for the CO starting this friday! We hope to see you perform well in both that and the overall cycle starting RIGHT NOW!

I'm hosting an official! Thursday, March 24th at 15:00 UTC (8 AM PDT, 11AM EDT, 16:00 CET, 20:30 IST)

Thanks to deftinwolf and LittEleven for their QCs!

This was the first fish where the new twist would have been used for... buuuut due to quite a few errors in the hunt, the twist has been removed for point addition. In practice, this had no bearing on the point distribution.

On a related note, the results are in... reverse? Looks like we have some bugs to fix on the twist still. Points have been (manually) added correctly though!

2nd place: Christmas [01:22:46]
3rd place: Menace02 [01:15:34].
4th place: Marsheaux [01:13:24].
5th place: Computerwizard8800 [53:01].
Consolation Prize: PikachuSean ^~^ [46:06], Primesss [32:51], WarriorGallade [25:30], Teutonic✠Squire [23:18], BubidaJeffery! [20:36], The Aura [10:11]


The hunt can be found here: https://pastebin.com/q5kfmEZT

The April twist is Spam Filter D(tm): Every incorrect unique guess adds 30 seconds to your timer!

Putting the jokes aside, I'd like to to announce with a heavy heart that Gallant's Pear has stepped down to moderator. We thank them for their great contributions and wish them good luck in the future.

It's time for the next cycle, and with 2 officials today, there's plenty of fun to be had. You can make hunts just like those and get up to the top of the leaderboard today!
