Ah well, guess that 25% was right - statistics never have been on my side. Will try again later.

I managed to get them back to ascii, the first question doesn't make any sense, and I don't know what you want me to answer. Do I need to answer them in plain german text, or encode them?

Thanks for being so damn helpful. Also, thanks a ton for being a total dick and #1 putting a contributor value on a puzzle and #2 not mention it anywhere in the thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, you can do what you want, and I can think what I want about the decisions you make. Also, why do you put contributor value on a puzzle giveaway, you're putting time into solving it, contributor value seems like a second and unneeded barrier. A lot of people that are trying to solve your puzzle don't actually have enough contributor value and they are not checking your profile, because most puzzle makers also think that contributor value on a puzzle is a sin.
Comment has been collapsed.
He doesn't have this contributor value himself. Oh, the irony.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do they? Do they really believe that? I've seen loads of puzzles with contributor value on the giveaways.
Everyone else who realised they couldn't enter have just gave up and gone. You're the only one complaining. If all you're going to do is bitch that you cannot solve it, or enter the giveaway if you did manage to solve it, then please leave.

If no one called you out, no one would have realised that there is contrib value on the giveaway and no one would have left. Maybe some of the newer people on here put contributor value on their giveaways, but the big puzzle creators usually don't put contributor value on their giveaways, and they are at least nice enough to mention it. I'm still here complaining, because you're questions don't make any sense. If someone manages to solve it by themselves, I'll be suprised, even though you gave 90% of the puzzle away already.

So basically he wants us to decode it to Germany and Make it into Ascii.. @_@
and i'm still wrong..
but when i see his profile.. 300$ contrib Value..
Okay.. i'm outta here xD

lol, i tried translating the french i found into german, then smuggling that into ascii, still nothing xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, yeah, that gives the answers too many possibilities.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understood the technique required. Hence I put "nope.avi" in German Ascii to demonstrate that I did. But the questions are open-ended without the benefit of being one of the simplest possible solutions (ex. 'yes', 'no').
Other puzzles do this as well. "Was this a good idea? (y/n)". So of course I answer yes out of politness. Nope, 30 seconds wasted because I'm expected to recognize that the puzzle author is self-deprecating. It's worse when people ask to guess numbers without the solution being the first or last of the range given or at least a clue to stop wasting 10 minutes. Even worse than that was that Monty Python quiz where the exact spelling of 'The Beast of Aaargh' required was so exact that numerous participants who knew the answer were stuck because of syntax.
The puzzle then isn't figuring out solutions so much as figuring out the author's particular Moon Logic. Now, Moon Logic Puzzles can be done well (see: The 'Thanks for Skyrim' or 'Name the game from its banner colours' puzzles) when the questions are structured towards a closed solution and the expectations placed on the participants are realistic. I don't believe this puzzle fits either of those criteria though. Maybe I'm wrong.
Please don't read into this as me being angry or frustrated. I just have neither the contributor value nor the patience to devote to it, and wanted to note for other's benefit that a) this is a CV giveaway, and b) this isn't nearly as straightforward as you seem to think it is.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understand perfectly where you're coming from.
This puzzle was not supposed to really have any logic to it, but instead to annoy participants. It's so hard, that once someone finally solves it, they're hit in the face with a contributor value too high for them to enter. I was going to see if anyone would enter, and if no one did, post another giveaway, but with an incredibly simple puzzle, and no CV.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah.... see thats a reason for people to rage about this giveaway... if i could solve it, i would enter. but seeing that u made it literally impossible, there is no point in trying...
Comment has been collapsed.
its just plain guessing at a bunch of different possible answers.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's not my point.
Every number is a valid answer to this question.
But this does not make it a valid question for any numbers.
Having answers that fit the questions does not make a good puzzle/riddle/whatever.
Having questions that fit the answers does.

It's common courtesy that puzzles don't have contributor value, and if you would sin and put it on a puzzle giveaway, you can at least be nice enough and tell us in the thread. Misskpavd is being as nice as she should be
Comment has been collapsed.
u know your argument has no backing. y is adding a contributor value on a puzzle a sin? he thought his puzzle was easy so he added a second barrier so those who have contributed could join. it doesnt take much time to look at his profile, even though it would have been easier if he told everyone on the thread.
Ive made plenty of puzzle giveaways with contributor value, some easy, some hard, and ive never once had it where someone complained as much as you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, i understand that part. he could have said there was a contributor value on the thread, but dr.spychology doesnt have a valid argument, he is saying that adding a contributor value to a puzzle quiz is a sin. not that he should have told everyone, though it is a small part of his argument.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're putting your time into solving the puzzle, it's just a dick move to put contrib value on top of that, and it's even worse to not mention it in the thread, because this means that people who put time into solving the puzzle might get fucked when they finally solve it. Also, he thought completely wrong if he thought it was too easy. If you're going to make a language quiz, don't just use google translate. Q1 isn't even a question!
I've not seen any of your puzzle giveaways or might not have noticed it as much because you mentioned the contrib value in the thread, but if I ever see one, I'll complain to you as well. Most people don't, because you're giving away a game for free, you can't really complain because it's just a giveaway you can't enter. I just got mad because I was trying to solve it for a bit, and when I finally decoded the questions, he just posts it in the thread and I find out I wouldn't even be able to join the giveaway anyways!

1) Lovely insult as always, love ya <3µ
2) If you're putting time into solving the puzzle, you shouldn't be punched in the face by a suprise contributor value block. Puzzles are about solving the puzzle, not about having given away enough games. I've talked to a decent amount of puzzle giveaway creators that have been on here a while , and most of them agree that contributor value on puzzle giveaways is just overkill.
Comment has been collapsed.
First off, Be gratefulhe is giving away a game for free. Second, Stop leechingand GIFT A GAME YOURSELF till then. You have NO room to talk. Go away leech!
Edit: My Gosh, at least have the decency to Thank the people you entered into the giveaways. Your Giveaway enter ratio to your comment ratio is 1 | 10.
Comment has been collapsed.
1) I do give away games, but I don't do it on sg itself because of ungrateful people like you.
2) I don't thank on every single giveaway, because it's too unpersonal and feels forced and I personally don't care if people comment on the 2 giveaways I had.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you look above DrSpychology I was NOT talking to you. But to MissKpavd. She hasn't given away a Single game. She has won over 4 games and has almost no comments vs her enter giveaway ratio.
You call me ungrateful eh? I think you have it wrong. Just ask anyone who is friends with me ^.^ or better yet. check out my profile..
Comment has been collapsed.
Whoopsie daisy, everyone on here is ragging on me, so I though you were too. Still, most people say that I've never given away anything of any value, yet I give games to friends because they will always be thankful and will not call me a "leecher", even if I give away games that cost absolutely nothing. They care about the game, not about how much I paid for them.
Sorry, it was an honest mistake
Comment has been collapsed.
1) I actually meant ragging, as in "to rag on someone", which apparently is slang
2) I've explained myself every step on the way, so I'd hope I would get a discussion, and not calling each other names. I was pissed at first, that's why I used strong language, but everyone else kept going when I tried to reason with you
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, it is time to come clean.
I was successful.
This whole thing was designed to mess with people. To absolutely piss them off. They would solve a near-impossible puzzle, only to be unable to enter it due to an extremely high CV.
I was then going to wait till it ended, and see if anyone entered. If they did not, I would make another giveaway, with a simple puzzle, and a tiny CV.
I have bought another copy of the game I was giving away, and will post another puzzle. This one will be simple, I promise, lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh dear lord, you got me all fired up. Good to hear that this was a joke, and you don't actually mean it. I hope the CV will be below 30$, because if you're going to put a leechblock up I'm going to get my rage engines started again
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... this is more of a reason to start raging than not saying there was a contributor value... what was the point of making people waste time? thats just plain rude and stupid.
Comment has been collapsed.
but u just said u made it near impossible, noone is going to waste time trying to solve a near impossible quiz where there are literally thousands of possibilities for answers when u will make a new one that is super simple. therefore u made people waste time.
Comment has been collapsed.
So far b4 i knew it was mainly a joke quiz, i tried yes i am, no i'm not, no im not, i am ready, yes im ready, yes i'm ready, im not ready, i'm not ready, etc... and im sure there are a lot more 3 word choices with just yes or no. All of them in caps of course.
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem. Yeah I was only talking about MissKpavd. It is like someone who receives a million dollars than goes onto get food stamps and disability because they claim they cannot sustain themselves. When, really they are rich and just Selfish assholes.
Comment has been collapsed.
You shouldn't assume for her as well, one of the giveaways she won was private, so she at least contributed to the community (puzzle or chat) and dropping keys in chats is actually fun, so she might have given away games in chats or on the forum, but they don't show up on the site.
I know it's hard not to assume, because most of the time the assumption is actually right, but you still got to be a little respectful.
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye. But the likelihood is probably close to 0%..
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what they say to me, yet I give my friends (some of which I met on here with puzzles and stuff) games. I only do it, because most of the time the people on here label me as a leecher (which is another issue that I have with the general SG community), so I don't want to give away games to those who hate me.
Comment has been collapsed.
you can always make private giveaways for you and your friends.. makes things interesting. Plus, you can get contributor value.
I generally only do Contrib value giveaways now of 0.01$ just so I know I give a game to someone who gives a game.
Plus, most people tell me the same because I have more wins than actual given giveaways. But, if you ask any of my friends on my friendslist If I have ever given them a game they would say yes. I have given more games than I actually own. Out of the 3 grand my account is worth the actual amount I have given away to friends is about 5/6 grand..all over time. and of course deals. I freaking LOVE deals.
Comment has been collapsed.
I like to give away indie games, because I enjoy them, so with all these bundles, the contributor value would stay the same. Also, I like the immediate reaction more than the boring old "thanks!" on a private giveaway and maybe something more when they win.
Comment has been collapsed.
^^^^^^ Sorry if you thought i was ragging you, just trying to get you to make a legitimate argument instead of just saying adding contributor value to a puzzle is a sin...
Anyways! This puzzle is still impossible.... even with that 3 word all caps hint lol. I tried 20 different ways to say yes, no, and maybe, and still doesnt come out right. Meh.

You got 24 hours.
Don't be a dick and leak the answers and/or the giveaway.
I figured it was time for some hints.
Both answers are 3 words, all capitals.
The answer for both questions was:
NO NO NO
Translated to German: NEIN NEIN NEIN
Smuggled to ascii: 078069073078032078069073078032078069073078
