NB264 P R E S E N T S

NB264 WAS AWAY BUT NOW IS BACK


What is this puzzle and what are the rules?

This is a puzzle giveaway. If you know what that is and how it works, skip this passage. If not, let me introduce you to the most beautiful part of Steamgifts community: You already know of public giveaways, and most likely, group giveaways. Puzzle giveaways are similar to those, but more fun because you have to solve a puzzle in order to find a hidden page, so you could enter the giveaway.

The rules of this website are that you have to do it alone - you are not allowed to ask for tips, help from others (here OR anywhere else) or share the answers and links to giveaway pages with others once you solve the puzzle. Break the rules and your account will be suspended. Feel free to read the FAQ, and also check this.

Now, you can see why this is more fun than just clicking on green enter button. You get not just the excitement of waiting for a giveaway to end in order to see if you have won something, but also an adventure of solving the puzzle and racing against the clock. Also, most of the people can not take the pressure and they just give up, or don't even know how to solve the puzzle, so giveaways like this one have less entries in general, which means that you - one of the solvers - have more chance of winning. Isn't that FUN?

There's even a guide that can help you with solving puzzles...


Special rules apply:

  • Blacklist
  • Leave a comment

Warnings

  • CV required $30.01
  • Cheap and crappy old game. Solve ONLY if you like puzzles. If you are after gifts only, this one is not for you.
  • Best solve before Friday, 27th at 10 AM CEST (GMT+2).

START HERE!

So much for taking time off puzzles in September, huh? :) I'd love to take a swing at it, but I'm struggling with other stuff at the moment. Good luck everyone!

Closed, gift sent.


Ok, here's what you should have done to solve this:

  • View the page source, to het link http://i.imgur.com/F0IeP2H.jpg then open it in the browser
  • Delete the .jpg part in the link and pres enter, to get to the Imgur page for that image, instead of image itself
  • Find the uggc://v.vzthe.pbz/coPliCJ.wct in the description, then use Rot13 to translate it to a link
  • Open http://i.imgur.com/pbCyvPW.jpg then again delete the .jpg part and find 2 things in the page: 1) xYHXKsoa which is a Itstoohard code for getting to a quiz, and It's a me, Mario which is a hint, which used with the image itself should remind you of my two weeks of changing avatars/nicknames (also, NB264 was away and now is back - speaks of NB264 nicnkname, not me as a person). Even if you never noticed all of those (and I did all I could that it is noticeable even on SG forums), there's a list of all my past nicknames in my Steam profile...
  • ...and there's 5 of my past avatars in the Itstoohard quiz. So you need to type corresponding nicknames below each avatar. That's it. It can be done without any previous knowledge, as there's only 5 avatars and 10 nicknames in the list, one of which is NB264 and you know that is not the answer to any of the questions.

Yeah, a bit unusual stalkery puzzle :)

I also have a private giveaway with no special rules open right now, so if you can find it - please enter.

Ugh... I didn't know the site Itstoohard.. I believe it isn't mentioned in the guide and this was my first puzzle. So I got to the Bioshock image and after that I was getting really frustrated with not knowing what to do with that code....

Where logic fails, use imagination (think outside of the box).

OMG, only 7 entries, here's a tip:

  • There's a hint along the way, before you get to the final part, you just need to catch it.
  • Pay attention to semantics when reading the question. There's a reason why something is written as it is, and not as you think it should be.
