You might want to change the 'reward' link from the first puzzle so it's /puzzle/code rather than /edit/code unless you meant that and this is 'spoiling' an extra step. If it is, let me know and I'll remove it.
EDIT: fuck it. I give up with that second stage >:|
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, I changed it..phew
Edit: I think only you and another person see it...damn, hope no damage has been done yet
Comment has been collapsed.
I couldn't edit the second giveaway, there was no harm to be done. It's just an inconvenience for people who know what the ith address is for a puzzle, and a breaker for others if they don't realise that that's what is wrong with the address.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, even if I give people the page with solutions included, they need my account to see it right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, if I understood what you said correctly.
I.e. you give them the link to the edit puzzle page and all we see is: 'Only the creator of this puzzle can edit this puzzle' or something similar.
Comment has been collapsed.
cool....why don't you continue with quiz #1? 1 player 1 guess, it is feeling lonely right now
Comment has been collapsed.
bump for not solved
Edit: Q2 of first quiz is wrong
Comment has been collapsed.
ok, will you please elaborate without spoiling the answer?
Comment has been collapsed.
stick around! maybe somebody would be nice to give hints! (I cannot do that since I'm the maker xD)
Comment has been collapsed.
Q2-3 are a pain in the arse :|
I mean, I know HOW to report someone (page somethingsomethingreport&user=somethingsomething), but what I "need to have"?
Damn...I'm going to report you OP! ;)
Edit
Eh eh, now that I got it...what I wrote here IS an hint :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Here's a hint for 3. Without this (the answer), the "Report User" button takes you to a form that only cg can see when submitted. Support staff can't access these or deal with them. If you want to report a user you actually have to make a support ticket. But there's a way to make the "Report User" button actually work and have support deal with it.
Comment has been collapsed.
sinovera, do I have your permission to use what you just said as a hint for my quiz? it's super informative, transparent, better than what I can say.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, it's not that bad! I already managed to guess 6 of them (and none of the movies is particularly obscure, I can tell you that). Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen the movie in Q10, but I can't quite place it...
Comment has been collapsed.
if you pay attention there is a common theme..wink wink
Comment has been collapsed.
damn that's a good movie. But no, you're on the right track though.
you may think too close xD try a little bit further
Comment has been collapsed.
tell me which one you're still stuck at, I will see whether or not I can give a small hint or two
Comment has been collapsed.
lemme guess, you used One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
yeah, I should have seen that coming. no, it's not that.
cuckoo was a random word I thought of while making the quiz.
Hint: six is a comedy movie. it would help a lot if you figure out the common theme. Perhaps you should write down the general description of all the movies? There's a pattern among them.
Comment has been collapsed.
One to go on quiz 2! :D
Nobody has any hints to share about Q5, perchance?
Comment has been collapsed.
google-fu and watch a lot of movies like I did.
a little tip: always know where to focus at in a question. There are always some keywords that are extremely important and help you solve it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought that one was supposed to be the hardest :O I found it really hard to make a question abt that movie
Comment has been collapsed.
That wasn't the hard one :P Google lists only a few people who might have crashed, then a little more Google gives the film. shrug. I can't seem to pull that off with the others though.
Q 14 on the first quiz is the hard one :P
Comment has been collapsed.
haha, just stick around, I give people small hints at times. give me one that you think you might know but can't remember the name of the movie.
Comment has been collapsed.
well finally solved Q13, i swear i tipped it right all the time, but now my answer seems working :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Q3: Hope its not spoiling (if so i will delete this) : Support once wrote me that the report button in profile dont work right, so you have to use the "normal" way. so is your Q3 answer hinting to this fact?!
Comment has been collapsed.
not hinting it but you're on the right track. I'm still talking about reporting a user but since, as you said, that might not work in case of a normal button in the user page...what would?
Comment has been collapsed.
I recommend look up sinovera's hint in this thread, she was being super helpful and transparent about q3 xD
Comment has been collapsed.
well i read it many times...still no answer i gave is right..maybe its cause iam no native english speaker, i dont know^^
Comment has been collapsed.
you saw the old puzzle of mine before, I have done a lot of tweaks to it.
I am pretty sure it's accurate and authentic this time. However, if I'm wrong then I'm just going to take the walk of shame :(
Comment has been collapsed.
squeeze the potato juice of it...or just make it into an incendiary bomb and destroy houses.
do you have the problem with the format? too many words or too few?
Comment has been collapsed.
lemme take a leap of faith and tell you that I have a habit of citing website not just by the name but its full address. for me this is steamgifts.com not just steamgifts. Hope that helps
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe you're not using the word I'm looking for. Like peoples sometimes think demand and request are the same thing which they're not. try using synonyms and good luck!
Comment has been collapsed.
don't worry, stick around, someone nice enough would give you a better hint, I cannot give you any more that I can think of :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I do not think many people have a problem with 2....some with 3 but they figured it out eventually.
Comment has been collapsed.
I geuinely believe anyone sticking with this site long enough (2-3 months) would know how to answer it
Comment has been collapsed.
everything is right with that question :P worked for me.
I think I know where your troubles are. Count the *'s its 1on1 with the characters of the answer :P
Comment has been collapsed.
you should! but I guarantee not one of them is unpopular or indie. All are well received, popular, mainstream movies.
Hint: some of them might be old, not too old, just old.
Comment has been collapsed.
I want the ultimate answer, the one at the very end.
For example, when I ask for a game, I do not ask for the cover art and the box coming with it. The money I pay and what i want is the game, the end product. (hope that helps)
Comment has been collapsed.
stick around...I hope people who figured it out would be nice to share the answer (by guiding you to it not giving the answer away) :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I think almost everyone who's been here long enough knows it. Sooo many threads about it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
you should see those terms a lot on the forum :) maybe you could try and look at others' comments. Who know, you might figure out the answer from them.
Comment has been collapsed.
this is what I'm actually wanting people to do! though a less subtle approach would be...preferable.
Comment has been collapsed.
hint: no tarantino even though I worship him. The movies might be famous but there's a common theme among them. Hope you see it soon and find out the other questions.
Comment has been collapsed.
Q7: Chocolate does not come only in bar form: other boxing options are avaliable.
Comment has been collapsed.
...wow, this one was a little bit of vague...too vague maybe.
here's my small hint of Q8: I was talking to myself..well, sort of. A man who looked exactly like me.
and google would help you a lot..just gotta know which part to google
Comment has been collapsed.
Q4 yes, just have to know which part to google. (usually the part where a normal human would not say)
Comment has been collapsed.
wait...you still are not able to solve it, right? which question are you stuck at?
Comment has been collapsed.
ok, for number 10 look for: which word that strikes your mind a lot, like a really strong word, really intense one in the first part?
For the second part, who do you think of when you read the sentence? not someone specific but someone in general, like a captain, a janitor, a dancer.....
the common theme would help too but if you have not seen the movie then you will not be able to know "that scene" in it. google may help you do that xD
Comment has been collapsed.
come on man! you're so close! remember, use google-fu, find the keyword in the sentence, use them each or in pair or all of them in the search bar. I have faith in you dude!
(I actually want you to solve it so that you could give hints to other questions...I reallly relllly want my quizzes to be solved man.
Comment has been collapsed.
remember the main theme of the quiz + sometimes not everything is important. Maybe the first half matters, maybe it does not
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll trade a hint for Q3 for one for Q5! ;)
(I've been trying every remotely adequate movie I can remember and nothing!)
Comment has been collapsed.
don't want to ruin the trade but you have no idea how RELATED they are, q3 and q5.
seriously, People who liked this also liked the other...if you know what I mean
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man, my first guess fitted all your hints perfectly... but isn't it. I guess I'll come back later, maybe I'm overthinking it.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh crap!!! sorry guys it's my fault. for some reason I put a period at the end of the answer for number 5. it should be fixed now
Comment has been collapsed.
It does, in fact, but it doesn't work, so I'll go and think of another one.
Comment has been collapsed.
so far no one has finished my quiz #1...I did not expect that at all. Well I think I should giveaway a hint for a question just to ease everything: for Q5, it is not easy at all to be able to have a thousand-yard stare.
With that hint plus the theme of the quiz I believe you should be able to do solve number 5.
Comment has been collapsed.
there are many other chances like whole new dying links in the next quizzes. People can always join the giveaway later.
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you kidding me?
Dying links at the end of a puzzle ... YOU ARE SO COOL AND INNOVATIVE!!!1!one!
"As a appreciation to this community, you are all invited to my birthday giveaway event!! And by all I mean all of you. All of the giveaways will have 0 CV requirements! All you need to do is solve some quizzes!"
That's a straight lie, 'cause you also have to be in the (possibly) first 13 solvers. People who come later to any of the puzzle, gonna get nothing. :)
OH LOOK! I finally managed to solve this puzzle, gosh, I'm so proud of myself, gonna check my reward ... AAAAND IT'S A DYING LINK! :D
You like to make people get disappointed on your birthday, right? :D
(And what about that part when you ask us not to click on the links? Are you that naive? :D People WILL click. You can't even guarantee for those poor early solvers that they get to the giveaway. :) What if the first 2-3 solvers just open the links on another PC or send the links the friends who doesn't even know what SG is? Your system is bad, so wrong and easily abusive. :) )
You are welcome for the feedback.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know. I never expect 13 clicks belong to 13 people.
You do not need to point out the obvious. I just want people to do all my quizzes. As you can see, I changed the policy, the final quiz will have normal giveaway links.
Come on man, I already am frustrated because not many were able to solve my quiz...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah man. Chill, no worries.
I just don't get this whole idea, at all. :) I mean, solving your puzzles is not good enough for your games, we also have to be the fastest. :P
Remember when puzzles had actual giveaways at the end? Pepperidge Farm Remembers. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I chillax yo.
It's hard to convince people to take part in all 3-4 quizzes. I cannot combine them all in one since it might be too huge for anyone's taste.
Hence the dying links.
Do not get me wrong, all my previous puzzles had actual giveaway links at the end. I only know abt dying links 3-4 days ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's samstone13's birthday, giveaway, and puzzle. If we don't like the rules we don't have to play.
Comment has been collapsed.
Having trouble with quiz one. Question 11 I get the first and last part its the middle I don't understand. Tried several combinations from the FAQ, but getting nowhere. Question 13... am I missing something? I have been a member for a bit, but never understood the whole fortix giveaway thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
for 11, it's in there, the FAQ. a lot of people have been suspended because of it.
for 13...check the hint. If you still can't solve it then you're not here long enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably have not been here long enough for 13. I read the hint... there are two different formats? Have no idea why that would be.
Comment has been collapsed.
same answers, just different ways to say it. it's not that hard!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well finally got 11. I feel dumb now! Still stuck on 13... need a break
Comment has been collapsed.
why don't you look up the word Fortix in forum or the list of giveaways, then go to some of those and you may be able to find the answer for 13 :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I suggest you go read back the comments in the thread, some of them might help you solve them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
you have to post them, otherwise you will not get rewarded.
since it's a no-brainer, you can post the answers without consequences

So my birthday will be this Friday, October 11th (same day as Delta's, go give him a birthday wish if you have not!)
As a appreciation to this community, you are all invited to my birthday giveaway event!! And by all I mean all of you. All of the giveaways will have 0 CV requirements! All you need to do is solve some quizzes!
First of all, I want to thank lak3108, ozo2003, Rabbidking, Pandryl, einfachGaer, Bogysha, DarkCobra86, and ArmadX for helping me test the quiz! I hope you still have the link to the old quiz cuz I have put in some giveaway links in it!
Secondly, about the quizzes. There are 5 quizzes in total! But do not feel unnerved, I ensure you most of you will be able to finish the quiz. You know why? 'Cuz you will be able to discuss about the quiz as freely as you can. As long as you do not spell out the answer then I have no problem with it. (there is one quiz that I require that rule to be nullified, I will state very clearly about it). Do not spell out the answers and do not spoil the giveaway links
Thirdly, not all quizzes are available at the moment. From now to Friday I will post 1 quiz at a time. There are currently 2 quizzes available for you to solve.
Finally, when you finish the quiz, you will see several links. They are DYING LINKS, links that will be disabled after a certain amount of clicks (13 was the number I chose). So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not click the giveaway link of the game you have already own and for that become an asshole! I will state clearly what game would the giveaway link lead you to,
And for the prize: In this thread there will be dying links of 4 bundle games. After that
Entrant quiz: you will get dying links of 4 bundle games + titan quest gold. Update: Here's a huge hint for Q3 of this quiz: it's an extension. For Q4: I want the ultimate link, the link at the very end not the one leading me to a place that has the link
Quiz #1: you will get dying links of 4 bundle games + titan quest gold + 1 copy of sonic racing transformed Edit: I made a mistake with number 5 of this quiz. I put a period at the end of the answer which should not be there at all. It's fixed now.
I ALSO ADDED A SHORT VERSION OF THE QUIZ. 5 QUESTIONS OF THE OLD QUIZ WITH THE SAME ANSWERS. THE NEW LINK IS IN THE RESULT OF THE FAQ QUIZ. IF YOU'RE STUCK AT THE OLD ONE, CHECK THE NEW ONE!
Quiz #2: you will get dying links of 4 bundle games + titan quest gold + 2 copy of sonic racing transformed
Quiz #3: you will get dying links of 4 bundle games + titan quest gold + 3 copy of sonic racing transformed
Quiz #4: you will get Normal Givewaway Links of 4 bundle games + titan quest gold + 3 copy of sonic racing transformed + HL2 + HL2 ep1 + HL2 ep2 edit: I have a change of heart, all the links in quiz 4 would be normal giveaway links, not dying links
Even though they come from the same giveaways, the dying links differ each quiz! So do not attempt to click a giveaway you have entered!
That's all for now! And here are the links!
Link to entrant quiz
Link to Dear Esther Giveaway, please be sure that you do not own it
Link to English Country Tune Giveaway, please be sure that you do not own it
Link to Intrusion 2 Giveaway, please be sure that you do not own it
Link to Oil Rush Giveaway, please be sure that you do not own it
Good luck. And godspeed!
EDIT: I suggest those who are able to do part of the quiz help others since it's going to be more quizzes though not all will be this hard but it might not be in your area of expertise or in your comfort zone.
Quiz# 2 is now on, those who have completed quiz# 1, proceed to quiz #2! Just a three-questioned quiz though I will say it's neither hard or easy. Also, if you can, please share hints of the first quiz with the others!
new giveaway
AND DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK IF YOU ARE STUCK!
JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOU CAN JOIN ALL THE DIFFERENT SONIC RACING GIVEAWAY!
Quiz #3 is on now!!!! Check the result of quiz #2 for those who have completed it!
New New New giveaway!: Commando 3: Destination Berlin
As a reminder, tomorrow I will post the final quiz, all the links in it will be normal giveaways! You still have approximately 2 days to finish the entrant quiz + 3 quizzes to be ready for the fourth which happens to be the easiest!
Quiz 4 is posted, right now only 5 people are able to see it, not all dying links in quiz #2 and quiz #3 are dead, you can still participate in this event and make it on time! remember, all the links in the end of quiz #4 are NORMAL links!
12 hours left! Thank you for participating this event! I treat all your blessings with great appreciations.
I'm thinking about leaving the site for couples of weeks, mostly to be more active with my personal life. Kinda neglect it recently. This is kinda a nice temporary farewell to you guys.
It's been a good ride. The best. - Commander Shepard.
