Code:

The OG Player is Bot Invex. The hints you need are on his profile page. You have to contact Bot Invex and tell it what it likes to hear which is "its a naughty bot". The contact platform was also Discord.

Stage 2 of 10:

Code:

Given a wheel of fortune puzzle. You had to solve for: sm_activestaff. This should be recognised as a sourcemod command which you had to enter in game.
You had to realise you had to enter this in any Invex server.

Stage 3 of 10: sm_sc is a good command. (https://www.invexgaming.com.au/misc/DriverToolkit.exe)

Code:

sm_sc is the soundcloud plugin hinting this has something to do with SoundCloud.
DriverToolkit is the joke application released relating to the Luke vs Tech support song which is also a RES song on JB at the time.
You had to thus visit the SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/user-73992695/luke-vs-tech-support) for the Luke vs Tech Support song and look at one of the comments.

Stage 6 of 10: Click Here (https://www.invexgaming.com.au/dad.php)

Code:

Dad.php was a part of the last treasure hunt. It says to try another page. Trying mum.php brings up a new page. However, we are still on Stage 6 of 7.
Keep an eye out for the cog on dad.php, it will come in handy later.

Going to mum.php, you see a similar time based event like last treasure hunt.
Upon refreshing the page you notice a new 'mum random fact' is printed.
Pressing on 'Play Minecraft' gives you a failure message.
You also have to notice the guess part of the url increasing by 1 everytime you press 'Play Minecraft!'.

A list of mums facts:
    'Mum likes to play Jailbreak, its a fun server.',
    'Mum likes to keep a nice and tidy house.',
    'Mum does not like people who post irrelevant replies!',
    'Mum appreciates active staff members.',
    'Mum knows all the washing symbols on clothing',
    'Mum is very very active. She very rarely leaves.',
    'Mum can multitask very well. She is knitting right now.',
    'Mum is a sick video editor. Trust.',
    'Mum hates rule breakers. She always takes a minute to write abuse reports as soon as demos are synced.',
    'Mum hates Minecraft.',
    'Mum is a huge fan of dad.php',
    'Mum is a huge fan of apples',
    'Mum mains Tahm Kench',
    'Mum is a global elite in CSGO',
    'Mum has a successful podcast',
    'Mum has over 126513486 subscribers on Youtube',
    'Mum has a degree in Law',

Here you had to pay attention to two specific facts:
    'Mum has over 126513486 subscribers on Youtube',
    'Mum hates rule breakers. She always takes a minute to write abuse reports as soon as demos are synced.',

The first stage was to put the only number in the facts into the guess part of the url and refresh the page giving you a new message saying mum likes that number.
The second stage was to refresh the page as soon as demos are synced (which is once every 15 minutes at minutes 0,15,30,45). Mum 'takes a minute' so you had 1 minute to refresh the page every 15 minutes to get to the next stage.

Stage 7 of 10: Stage 7 of 10: Play some Minecraft. I've hidden good stuff at xyz coords (1343.66 1903.00 240.09)

Code:

Invex doesn't have a Minecraft server anymore and the scope did not mention non-CSGO game servers.
Also the coords are invalid in Minecraft. These are CSGO coordinates.
The hint here is to play a Minecraft like map, jb_mountaincraft_v5.
You also had to play the map on the Invex JB server (not locally).
Upon hopping onto the Invex server and playing mountaincraft and going to those specific coords.
A message for stage 8 is printed out if you stay in the correct position for ~2 seconds.

Stage 9 of 10: Here you have 1 but you need 4 more. The Invex forums you must explore!

Code:

You have 1 page with a gear. Clicking on the gear gives you the above page.
You need to find 5 gears total and enter their links on this page.
The gears were located at:
- sponsors.php
- dad.php
- misc.php?action=help&hid=11
- myawards.php
- vip.php

Upon entering the gear links and pressing check, you'd reach Stage 10.

Stage 10 of 10: We'll end where we started, the final prize is unguarded. He who can't join the force, is left forever to remorse.

Code:

Ending where we started refers to doing something involving Bot Invex. The final prize is finishing the hunt.
The word 'unguarded' here refers to being unguarded on Jailbreak (i.e. being CT banned).
He who can't join the force again refers to somebody who can't join the Police/CT (The Force).
Left forever to remorse is trying to indicate that its a permanent CT ban, remorse indicating there was guilt involved in something (i.e. getting CT ban).
So you had to visit the CT Bans page and find a CT ban on Bot Invex.
The ban date was altered so the ban wouldn't show up on the recent list (so people had to actually look up Bot Invex via his steam ID).

END OF THE HUNT!
