No. It's a plastic bag. New York is a tough city, but it's not cruel.

Damn, I just noticed this but didn't notice the date stamp. Just spent half an hour finding them all and hosting the image and then came back here and found the contest already over, lol.

The 10 hidden maps are:
  1. Conquer 4 - at top of black building
  2. WWII Poland - bottom left corner on the road sign
  3. Brazil - On the road sign under the traffic light
  4. Classic - on the dark van in the bottom middle of the picture
  5. Space - in the window of the black car behind the taxicab
  6. Dust Bowl - to the right of the highway but left of the big lady poster
  7. First Nations Americas - bottom right, on the bus stop advertisement
  8. Feudal War - on the green part of the smiling lady with sunglasses poster
  9. High Seas - At the top of the right building
  10. Japan - on a building (hafl hidden) in the middle of the picture, left side of the road

jonava, I've already given to you the medal and you will receive the other part of the prize soon. ;)

I'm sorry MoB Deadly, but I can give a general achivement to everyone, this because it's "awarded to members that won a challenge, contest, or event.".
But I promised a surprise. ;)
Consider it like a x-mas gift in advance, just in case mayans were right! :lol: (MrBenn, I know they weren't :P)
I'm so happy for the large group of people that has taken part to the contest that I want to spread some love around the CC Site!
So, instead of giving 500 credits only to the 2nd and 3rd users that have found the ten maps, I'm going to give 500 credits to ALL the users that have found all the 10 maps before the deadline!!!

I said a large group of people so be prepared for the long list.
The following users will receive soon 500 Conquer Credits :

    cachejob (2nd place)
    SaucyJack (3rd place)

If you have been so patient to scroll down all the list, here a couple of additional funny/strange things (not going to name names ;) ):

- Someone has spotted 11 maps #-o
- The fastest user to submit isn't the winner of the contest :shock:
- Someone has missed the deadline only for 3 minutes ](*,)
- The latest PM i received was submitted about 6 hours after the deadline

Thanks to everyone for taking part and for those who have not won, don't worry we will run another contest soon!

For those of us that have spent many hours poring over maps looking for misplaced pixels, this was probably a little like a walk in the park! Thanks for organising and running something fun like this ;-)

You can see your current Conquer Credits here --> https://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=credits

The Conquer Credits were introduced by Lackattack about a year ago (you weren't so much around in that period), anyway the announcement is here.

They can be used in some different ways. You can use 2500 Credits to get an additional year of premium membership.
Who will receive 500 credits can decide to store them and wait to have 2500 for 1 year of membership or use them now and reserve a spot in the next Conquer Cup. (top right part)

Up to you how to use them!

Damn, completely missed this contest, took me 20 minutes!

Brazil and dust bowl were the quickest to find
I couldn't decide whether it was FNA or FNNA!
Conquer 4 and Japan took me the longest because they blended in well! (Same could be said for High Seas, but I was looking for something in those panels)
