Prizes Announced!
The moment you have been waiting for has arrived (mostly)! Huh? You weren't waiting for this? Oh well, I'm going to tell you anyway... :P
I have made a decision on most of the prizes. Some are still to be confirmed, but you get the general idea anyway.
This is how prizes will work:
-For every task you complete, you will get a prize, as listed. It doesn't matter whether you came 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. As long as you complete the task, you get the prize.
-There will then be extra prizes for those who solve the entire mystery 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
-For the dp, as there are 4 tasks in which you can earn dp, you can choose to save it instead of claiming it straight away. This means that you can bundle your dp together in order to get more choice for plushies. You can earn a total of 200dp over 4 tasks.
-For prizes where you choose from a variety of options, it's a case of first in first served. Yes, I do realize there are time differences etc, but there is nothing I can do about that and I have done everything I can to make it as fair as possible.
-For the shiny hunts, I will do these as soon as my current hunt is finished. Please note that I could be doing up to 53 hunts for this contest so you will need to be patient.
Prize List
Task 01 – 500pd, 20dp
Task 02 – 1000pd, 40dp
Task 03 – 1500pd, 60dp
Task 04 – 2000pd, 80dp
Task 05 – 2500pd, 5 gems
Task 06 – 3000pd, 1 Rare Candy
Task 07 – 3500pd, 1 Box or Key
Task 08 – 4000pd, 1 pokemon from my trade box
Task 09 – 4500pd, 2 pokemon from my trade box
Task 10 – 5000pd, 1 easy or medium shiny hunt
1st Place – 1 Shaymin, 1 Enigma Stone, 2 Fossils, 1 Rare Shiny Hunt (this may be added to)
2nd Place – 1 Fossil, 1 Hard Shiny Hunt (this may be added to)
3rd Place – 1 Fossil, 1 Medium Shiny Hunt (this may be added to)

My method for sending the PM's was slightly flawed, as it took 40 minutes to send them all, mostly due to me receiving answers while I was still sending the initial PM's, but also because my mouse kept glitching while I was trying to copy and paste. I will try to organize it better for tomorrow and apologize for any annoyance this might have caused.
When you solve the task for today, and receive my reply to confirm that you are correct, please comment in my feed (which I am about to make) to say how you would like your dp to be spent on you. Remember, you get 20dp for completing this round. You can also choose to save it for later, when you win more dp, so you can get more expensive plushies.
If you have ay questions or complaints, please post them here instead of via PM as others might want to know the same thing and it will save me having to repeat myself. ;)
Edit: Prize feed is up

Important Updates
There is now a second
I did make a mistake on the first copy of the second version, so if I sent it to you, but have not yet sent you the fixed version, please let me know.
The prize list has been updated, and the first place prize now includes a Shaymin. Due to the majority of people choosing to 'save' their dp, I have decided that all pd and dp prizes will be added up and given out at the end of the contest. For the items and pokemon which you have to choose from my boxes and lists, you will tell me which you want when you complete the relevant task, and I will note it down and hand them out at the end.
Also, you can now follow minor updates via the hashtag #MysteryContest

Delay for today's task
Unfortunately, just after reset today my internet stopped working. I had been just about to send out today's tasks when it happened. My internet has only just now come back on. Because of this, I was unable to send out today's task in time.
So, today is an un-scheduled day off. Those who have gotten behind on the tasks have a day to catch up, and those who aren't behind can just relax.
I am aware that this is annoying and frustrating, especially to those who were in the lead, but there isn't anything I can do about this. I can't just send the task out now, because then you would get less than the usual 24hrs to answer the task, which would be unfair to those who were only online between 12am and now (ph time) and who won't be online again until that tomorrow.
I know that some people are already frustrated by this contest, and that truly wasn't my intention. I put a lot of hard work, time and ph resources (it's costing me over 1,000,000pd for prizes) and even real money as I've had to buy nuggets to get enough dream points. For all my planning, however, there was nothing I could have done to prevent this, and all I can do now is to try and make it as fair as possible. Due to time-differences, it will never be perfect, all I can do is my best, which I assure you, I am.
Now, to try and make up for these annoyances, and as a thankyou to those who bothered to subscribe to this and read all the way to the bottom of this post, I have hidden a little 'easter egg', if you like, somewhere around the site that might help you prepare for task 4. I will not be giving any clues or hints as to where it is, so don't ask. Just keep your eyes open and you will see the signature.

When I say that A=S, that means that every 'a' in the original message has been replaced with an 's'. So, if the original had been "A cat ate a bat", it would have been coded into "S cst ste s bst" (of course, all of the other letters will have changed too).
You have been given all the information you need in order to solve this task, especially if you have been keeping up to date with this thread.
And yes, the tasks are getting harder. Why? Because the prizes are also getting better. If you do not feel that the prizes are worth it, then don't participate. Simple.
