The plot:
You find yourself in a bed. You wake up, find some fresh clothes hanging next to the bed, get dressed and exit the room.
You seem to be in a space station. In front of you seems to be an odd furry creature and a man with a 5'o clock shadow beard.
His face looks oddly familiar. You address him.
You: Shepard?
ZooZ: No. -.-'' why does everyone keep... nevermind, i see you have awakened, Traveller. About time. And time is of the essence here. The fate of SG depends on you.
You: Wha... The fate of...
ZooZ: Yes, long story short... the time-line has been corrupted by an evil force.
I have chased this force all across the galaxy and barely managed to find out its source of power just before he made his escape to the dark future that he created.
You: Ok...
ZooZ: We fought and in the battle, his power source was shattered and divided into 7 fragments. They have all spawned an alternate reality, even more vile and corrupted, through 7 different dark portals. He still had a portal open to his dark future to which he fled, which also closed right behind him.
Since i could not risk going into only one of those 7 alternate realities, i tethered the location of all 7 to my data collector.
You: That's a lot to take in. :/
ZooZ: Well, there's more. Tethering the location was just one step. This reality is collapsing.
You have a little over 3 weeks before it collapses permanently. On the 7th of November, your time is up.
You will have to travel through those 7 dark portals to find the missing fragment that created that reality.
The portals are like wormholes, except sometimes they move you forward in time, sometimes back in time, and sometimes they move you to a different location. Sometimes both.
You: Oh boy... :/
ZooZ: I've sent a probe through one and managed to realize that once you go through one of them a new portal will open everytime someone or some creature near you dies.
You will not be able to control where the new portal leads you, unless the person or creature dying has been tethered to a specific location.
You: So how will i come back?
ZooZ: Well, this odd one beside me is Bear. Let's just say... he's expendable. I've tethered him to this point in the space-time continuum.
If he dies, you must enter the wormhole that opens and come back here or you will be trapped for good.
Bear: YES! I'M DEPENDABLE!
You: That's not what he... -.-'' ... nevermind, i think i see what you mean, ZooZ.
ZooZ: Yes.
You: Ok. But didn't you say there were 7 portals? Do you have 7 expendable bears?
ZooZ: God, no! One is enough to have to put up with.
But once you travel through the portal that leads you back to where you yourself came from, time will be erased for you and him.
Meaning you will have no recollection of what happened and he will be alive and kicking... sadly. :/
You: But the fragment?
ZooZ: I've programmed your data collector to retrieve it and store the info, even with you losing you memory of what happened.
One fragment is twice the size of the other 6. All 7 combined should open a portal to follow the evil force to where it fled.
I am sadly too weak to do that myself and we don't have much time. So we're depending on you. The prophecy says you will be known as SteamGifts SuperPuzzler.
You: Prophecy as well? -.-'' ... This feels more and more like a bad movie knock-off...
ZooZ: Also, i've set up 7 different containment chambers for the 7 dark portals. Just by stepping into the chambers you will notice things already feel... err... off.
You: Hmmm... :/
ZooZ: Anyway, good luck Traveller! And hurry!
Oh and don't forget to inspect our data collection facility, some of the data is probably just junk, but there is a possibility that more portals have been open, other than those 7.
Some of our top scientists say another 7 were open and that each had the data needed to access them scattered across the first 7.
They also believe data may have been scattered across wormholes as well as specific time points. I think it's rubbish, but keep an eye out.

Too overkill to read it all? :'(
The pictures helped so much. Without them, the lengthy walls of text i had to put in... :(
But i gave up on re-drawing the whole thing... it was just too much... i just hope i don't scare most people away... :/
EDIT: 1 puzzle-solved already, though, LOL, that guy was fast.
Comment has been collapsed.
At first sight, yes, a bit of an overkill ;)
Gonna read it all, promise! Will have to wait till tomorrow tho.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, it's ok, no worries. It's still gonna last till November 7th.
The timing of the day was not ideal for me either, but i just got tired of postponing it.
But take your time and i hope you have fun, that's what matters.

I have not forgotten about you, sweet ZooZ. I was reading through your wall of text, then clicked on the first puzzle link and ... well ... really sorry
Comment has been collapsed.
Awww... :3
"Sweet"... blushing...
1-1 is probably the least fun of the whole wormhole 1 puzzles... and there's a few other wormholes, just saying. I'd steer clear of wormhole 2 though, probably not fun at all either.
But it's ok, eeev, i don't want anyone to feel forced to try them. :)
It's supposed to be fun, and if it's not really doing it the trick for you, oh well, it's a pitty, but what you gonna do, right? ;)

I'm stuck on puzzle PZ-1-5 question 6.
Would you mind taking a look and verifying that the question is correct?
Same with puzzle PZ-7-1 question 7, I have what I believe to be the correct answer but it's coming back as incorrect.
Comment has been collapsed.
Will check them both, try not to include the full puzzle tags in the future here... cuz reasons. ;)
Just shorten it to PZ-1-5 and PZ-7-1, if you don't mind. ;)
Be right back, gonna check.
EDIT: 7-1-7 was indeed wrong, already corrected.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry about that.
The third of the trivia puzzles, PZ-5-3, the answer to question 7 is spelled incorrectly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also, not sure you read the hint section, but by not posting on the GAs, you're potentially missing out. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure about PZ-7-1? Something doesn't make sense then
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. Positive.
You have to figure it out for now, till i add the hints for the rolls tomorrow. I'll mass-sweep for the requests tomorrow, super tired for now.
There was an error on on 7-5 on one of the questions, but it was fixed.
Comment has been collapsed.
I still believe PZ-7-1 Question 7 is incorrect but I managed to stumble across the correct answer. You'll have to explain the pattern to me if it really is correct because I just don't see it.
Also, I'm having some trouble on the formatting for the answer for PZ-1-6 Question 5
Comment has been collapsed.
I finally got it by brute forcing, I don't see the pattern either, maybe the OP can explain it in the giveaway
Comment has been collapsed.
Answered below, 7-1-7 fixed now, but too late for you, it seems. Sorry about that.
EDIT: 1-6-5 is deliberately like that, one small hint dropping there should crack it.
Sorry, had to make at least 1 or 2 slightly more obscure. I can tell you it's a matter of how you choose to answer the question, but without hints may require a bit of bruteforcing, yes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Super-derp, 7-1-7 was wrong, yes, my bad.
This is what happens launching a puzzle train late at night. Dunno how i managed to not carry over the 2nd bit of the formula.
Got sloppy considering there were solvers. Sorry about that. :/
Thanks once again. Fixed!

Some of the puzzles on PZ-3-5 have multiple solutions and you don't account for all of them. I have solutions for Q2, Q3 and Q4 but they are not being accepted

If you hit the right trains, some are the easiest you'll find.
Some you might even think as fun. Unless every kind of puzzle bores you, nothing i can do about that, if it's the case. :P
I tried mixing it up with all sorts of puzzles, though, best i could do.

I'm glad you're liking it Pete. :)
I did go out of my way to try to make it not too obscure.

Hi! Having fun, but can you please check puzzle 7-6 as I think there might be some errors with Q4. I was also stuck with Q3 for a while but it all makes sense now.

1/6 q5 I'm having fits trying to figure out what format you want the answer in and wondering how four people have figured it out.
Edit: well 3 besides you
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry about that one, was intentionally put that way not to be obscure, but to maybe require the hints to hit it and get most people unstuck.
Not that is absolutely necessary. 7 people have solved it in under 3h. This does last 3 weeks and some change. :)

Also the number sequence one is messed up as well, the very last question.

As replied to poster below, 7-1-7 is correct.
You're probably using the wrong number sequence.

Yes 7-1-7 was wrong, i had checked wrong question. Sorry about that, it's fixed now.

I'm positive you have the wrong answer.
Most people get that one wrong, that's all i can tell you. ;)

Oh, there's a special plot treat just for you Add... Student. :P
It's gonna be a pitty if you don't find it.
But i'll be posting the solutions for every puzzle on November 7th when this is over, so people can check the whole thing anyway. :)

I give up for now. I'm stuck on Q1 of 5.3 and there is no right answer.
I've found a few mistakes so I'm not sure if I'll ever find the correct answer :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I did mess up a few that i've been correcting. Too many puzzles, sorry.
But all i can say about 5-3-1 is it is correct, maybe you're giving an incomplete answer.
Until the hints start falling into place, that's all i can say for now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Too much text... I can't compute... I read a cake day reference in the title so happy cake day, and birthday. (Actually I tried to read it all but only reached some paragraphs, so belated cake day and early birthday! And too much puzzles......................)
Comment has been collapsed.
Aww. :'(
It's last for 3 weeks and 2 days more though, so if you find the patience to go through at least some of it.
I mean, every puzzle gives access to a GA, and some are stupid simple.
Just as long as you don't reply to the first 3 posts you're good to go without reading the rest.
The rest is there merely to assist you, nothing else. Especially the hints section and the data collection facility.

-
2-5-2 is i think a matter of finding the right format, if you know what i mean. But it is correct.
-
3-3-1 and 3-3-7 had a mistake, already uploaded right pictures, so now they're fixed, sorry about that.
-
All those on chamber 4 are correct, just a matter of fiding the path of knowing the usernames, hints might be added, if you use your rolls. Gonna do a roll check in a bit, after i've checked all comments about possible mistakes.
-
7-1-7 had a mistake, my bad. Already fixed. Again, sorry about that.

Making progress. 2-6-1 and 2-6-6 are still stumping me, and 4-1 is just really hard! :P
If I haven't said it anywhere yet, I'm having fun though! :)

Still? :P
The automated hints system is driving me nuts. Hints for all the wrong questions. I'm stuck everywhere but at the sudokus and those are not my thing...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you're still the only solver on 4-1, so at least you have that! :) I'm kinda dreading what's behind it in 4-2 through 4-7.... :\
I'm just crossing my fingers that we get some useful hints on the ones I have left...I've been doing WoF the whole time, mainly because it was too hard to think about another choice.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't read before solving so for the first 10 or so GAs I didn't reply. Oops! :P
Too late now.
4-2 was okay, but 4-3 is very annoying, it's like Student123 did a Revilheart puzzle, I'm close to giving up entirely, I'm no longer having fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
The multiple small hints is tempting, especially since some of them can be just as good as the "big" hints, but I've been going for wheel in hopes of adding more "full solutions".
And as M3rc said, 4-2 isn't so bad. I can see 4-3 stumping a lot of people though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you found some err... familiar NPC? :P
Or did the puzzles scare you away? :P

I'll think about it. :P
And I have my own puzzle event to manage this upcoming week.

Oh ok... i understand.
Tons of hints were added though, for the record, just so you know. :)
They should be much, much easier now.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
DO NOT REPLY TO FIRST AND SECOND POST!
REPLY TO THE THIRD POST ONLY IF YOU WISH TO ADD ANY GA TO THIS EVENT, PLEASE. THANK YOU!
Small prelude of context:
(You can skip this part if you want)
Hi everyone! :)
So, it's been a whole year since i joined this great community and i decided to make something (hopefully) a little more special for you guys.
So, my Cake Day was on the 20th, when this was supposed to have happened. Long story short... hard drive partition going belly up screwed my plans big time, hence the delayed cake day celebration.
My Birthday is on the 7th of next month (which is also when all GAs end), hence the somewhat early birthday celebration.
It was merely meant to be a cake day celebration, wasn't that keen on advertising birthday date, but given the circumstances, seemed fitting, given the day, the number of trains, GA per train, etc.
The main reason i wrote the above text is because there is a plot. And it's mostly... well... thin / shallow some times (if not often times).
I had a comic strip done for this (yes, i had made a cartoonish comic strip for the whole thing... that went completely belly up, fml), and as they usually say... a picture is worth 1,000 words. Especially pictures that require quite a bit of describing through text. Let's just say my patience wore thin very early on, trying to sub what was accomplished with the images with just plain words. Not to mention how incredibly dull i felt it would be for most people to read through as well.
As for the plot... it's a silly parody.
A very silly one, maybe you'll find some of it witty, i am quite disappointed with the end result given what i mentioned before, i just find it dumb.
But oh well, it was what was possible and i grew tired of postponing this.
DISCLAIMER:
The parody includes names of SG users that have been altered one way or another, some in a goofier way than others.
All the users being mentioned are mentioned as a homage.
Nothing is meant to be offensive or insulting, but if you happen to be one of the users mentioned and feel offended, just tell me and i will remove the altered form of your username entirely. And i obvisously apologize in advance, if that happens to be the case.
That's it. That's all the context. I hope it wasn't too much. :)
THE PUZZLES / GAS
There is a total of 58 GAs. And yes, there is a Puzzle for every GA.
Trust me, seems more daunting than it is.
The vast majority of the puzzles are NOT that hard.
27 of the 58 GAs are level 1+ (should have been 28, but i screwed one up making it level 2+), and 31 of the 58 GAs are level 2+.
The GAs are spread into 7 trains of 7 GAs (total of 49). The first 4 of each of the 7 trains (barring the one i screwed up) are the ones at level 1, the rest are all level 2. At the end of each train you collect a bit of info for the 50th GA.
You need to complete all 7 GAs to have the info you need to access the very easy Puzzle for GA #50.
After you've accessed GA#50, you have an additional harder puzzle for #51.
There are also 7 additional easter egg GAs for the grand total of 58.
The info to access the Puzzle for those 7 easter eggs is scattered across the other 49 Puzzles / GAs.
There is a pattern that you will uncover (somewhere) to make it easier for you to know how to combine the scattered info so you can access the easter eggs.
There may or may not be red herrings. You have been warned. Don't hate me.
THE HINT SECTION - NOT AS COMPLICATED AS YOU THINK (SERIOUSLY) - JUST A BIT OF A READ (Sorry :/)
There are no hints added as of the start of this thread. I decided to make the hint process a bit different than what you're used to, to make it more interactive and hopefully a fun process as well. Also, it's not convoluted, it's quite simple, if you just read this not so tiny section.
Hints will be added TO MY 2ND POST as described below when the criteria also described is met:
THROUGH PUZZLE PROGRESS:
If you are one of the first 7 to finish any puzzle leading to a GA, you can choose from 3 small hints scattered randomly all across the several puzzles OR you can take your chances in 1 single roll in the Wheel of Fortune (WoF) which will be described at the end of this section and illustrated with a picture.
If you are one of the first 7 to finish one of the last 7 puzzles from each train (1-7, 2-7,... 7-7), you can choose from 3 small scattered hints AND 1 single roll in the WoF... OR you get 2 rolls in the WoF.
If you are the VERY FIRST to finish one of the last 7 puzzles from each train, you get 1 additional roll in the WoF.
If you are the very first to finish at least 7 puzzles total, regardless of which, you also get an additional roll, per each 7 (yes, that means tough luck if it's 6 or 13, sorry).
IMPORTANT:
Just post in the respective GA to reserve your hint choice. You don't have to choose immediately, but only the 7 first to post get to choose - there is no other way for me to know who finished first, unless people post to reserve that right (i strongly suggest you post something like a single character and edit it afterwards so you don't get ninja'd while typing :P - just edit it afterwards to Reserved or to the choice you wish if you don't want to wait).
The Wheel of Fortune:
The picture is pretty self-explanatory for the most part.
"Nothing", "small hint", "big hint", "hint on finding an easter egg" and "full answer" are exactly as it says.
The "1/49th of a hint on Puzzle 50 / 51" mean there have to be 49 rolls landing on either so you can get a hint on the respective one. The reasons being that Puzzle 50 is stupid simple and is more than doable without any hints at all and that Puzzle 51 is logic-based, so even being a bit harder is still pretty doable without 0 hints. So yes, the chance to have a hint added for any of those has to be very slim.
The hints are also global, obviously.
Now... the Jackpot! The Jackpot means you get to choose selfishly or selflessly:
SELFISHLY: I add you and give you a bundle game from whatever i have spare (i'll do my best to go through your wishlist prior to today - October 14th - if at all possible), but you get no hints whatsoever added to the puzzles.
SELFLESSLY: You get either 3 additional rolls and whatever you get from those rolls is obviously shared with the community. Also, no "Double-Jackpot!"... If you get a Jackpot! and choose 3 additional rolls and you draw another Jackpot on one of those rolls, all that happens is a simple re-roll.
THROUGH ADDING GAS TO THIS EVENT:
I only considered this, because i've had at least a couple of folks suggesting they might want to add GAs to this.
You don't need to, i don't expect you to and most importantly, there should be no need to just for the sake of having enough hints. The simple draws of what is mentioned above should be more than enough for the vast majority of folks to solve 90-95% of it all (yes, including 50/51 and easter eggs).
That said...
