Hai U guize!

You've been missing something . . . for about 3 days now. Follow me!

Edit: The treasure has been acquired. I'll show my trail of bread crumbs if there's a demand. :)

Hint: It started right here.

And then it went here.

And then here.

And here.

Then here.

And here.

Here.

And here.

Also here.

That one was a bit tricky, then here.

That led to a name: this guy. It also led you here.

The trail may have seemed to go cold at that point, as that led to here, unless you remembered the name. Then, you might have noticed this.

There, you would find the prize, unclaimed, though it appeared otherwise.

I would have liked for some of you to have had more of a chance, but the chase was afoot before I ever posted this, as at least one attentive person was already onto my game.

Good luck to you all in the future! :)

(Full solution posted due to the lateness of the hour.)
