Hello Smiters. As many of you already know, we've hit 250K subscribers on the subreddit. To celebrate that, one of the events we'll be holding is the great lightning bolt search. For those that weren't around for the last event, or those who simply forgot how it goes, here's a simple explanation.


⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡


Rules

The event will last from 4 PM Friday the 23rd to 4 PM Monday the 9th.

Each day, we'll hide some bolts for you to find until we reach 250. However, this time we have special bolts! These bolts can be completed by solving puzzles, and are worth 10 points each! Each puzzle will be its own post!. After all 250 points total are out, there will be 10 days of grace period where people who weren't able to find them early on can find them. So where can the bolts be found?

Everywhere from:

  • Hidden pages on this subreddit

  • Twitter

  • Discord

  • Random smite-related sites

How do I redeem the bolts? Easy, each bolt will either be a hidden link on its own or will be next to a link that will move you to a Reddit message. At that point, all you have to do is press send and you're all done! Link forms should look something like this

Speaking of which, there are 3 bolts already up and more are coming for today, so I'd keep an eye out :)

Also, just a quick note, Star usually takes around 1 minute to respond due to reddit's policy so be patient when you claim!

Does "Twitter" mean only tweets or comments as well? From official Smite page or literally anyone (including streamers and others)? Discord - reddit's discord or official Discord?! So many questions!

Well twitter means twitter. Could be from official smite page, could be streamers, or could be us mods. It for sure won't be a random account, but it may be harder to find :)

Man you're missing some quite eazy ones, remind me again how good you were last time? :P

EDIT: You do know you can redeem each code only once, ye? :D

Interesting. Either You got better hiding places than 3 years ago or I'm lacking some critical information. Already missing 5.

Doubt I'll find enough time to compete for real this time around, but still a nice callback. Also - some of the old bolts are still up. Won't work and are hard to mistake (different bot messages), but still might confuse some people.

Yeah, last time the big mistake was not tracking where the bolts were put out, now we're doing that so we have no leftover ones.

Also the bolts are rolling out slowly, you might find some easier ones soon :)

Anything less than 250 is a failure in my book :P

Appreciate the encouragment tho. And if You need a list of the previous bolts, I can provide a nice spreadsheet with links.

Oh sure, if you have it I won't mind :)

For the puzzles, is it only one winner per puzzles except the first one? Or is it three each?

Puzzles can be solved by anyone whenever, but the first person (the winner), gets a bonus reward.

Only the first puzzle had 3 reward slots :)

Thanks! I’ve got a follow up question, if you don’t mind, are the bolts one time claims (i.e. if someone claims a bolt, will I be able to submit it to the bot as well for credit)?

The contest is to see who can collect most bolts, so the bolts can be claimed by everyone. Try to find as much as you can!

I assume the link in mods nameplate is bolt, but they don't work. The website says case sensitive but how could I know lol?

They are case sensitive. And there is a way to find out :)

Here's a hint. It's reddit's own css that makes the text all uppercase. If only you could not load the css.

Since the mod didnt respond ill ask here there are certain flairs that look kinda funny. Thing is, all but 1 lead to anything and the one that does lead somewhere, leads to a frickin german hotel website. Is there some sort of bug or typo on your end?

The links are case sensitive, reddit's css makes them seem like they are all uppercase but they are mixed.
