[Thanks! You know this is really fun in a "I don't want to excercise my brain but I'm doing it anyways" kinda way 😋]

Magically figured out the Punbundu puzzle and now can't find any new egg. Of course, haha.

joy • 15 December 2010 at 10:58 AM

Yay, I got a new shield, Minion!

Your Rank: #3
Current Chapter: 2
Current Step: 1

Whew! Those were some challenging, but fun puzzles! I think my favorite one was step #8. 😃

Thanks so much for this wonderful plot Zac! Also thanks for adding room numbers, the cave was almost as hard as the puzzles themselves!

Congrats Joy! Looks like you and me are tied. 😊

Can people still join? Or is it a limited number only?

redfire77 • 15 December 2010 at 5:25 PM

I need help on villanelle's puzzle! i took the first letter of each, but it doesn't work!

libra • 15 December 2010 at 5:49 PM

Ok, this is hard, I am on the first puzzle and have no clue what I am looking for.

redfire77 • 15 December 2010 at 6:12 PM

which puzzle?

Zac • 15 December 2010 at 6:16 PM

Please do not share puzzle hints or clues. =/ (This includes previous attempts.)

It is unfair to other users and will lead to disqualification.

silverserpent • 15 December 2010 at 8:11 PM

I can't find the last creature... :/

Edit: Is it cheating to ask if it is in a high or low room number? xP

pendulum • 15 December 2010 at 8:16 PM

@Zac: Please delete my account - Pendulum on your plot/contest site. Thanks.

Zac • 15 December 2010 at 10:39 PM

@silverserpent eggs don't really have room numbers they are just connected to specific doors.

The eggs arre technically rooms 101-108 but I don't think that will help you much 😋

pendulum • 15 December 2010 at 11:44 PM

@Zac: Is it even possible to delete my account? :/

redfire77 • 16 December 2010 at 12:56 AM

@zac I saw u added another shadow to villanelles puzzle! i think I should be unlocked earlier because I was on the puzzle, then you updated it! its not fair. ☹️ I think I have the answer now, and I didnt know it before, since the puzzle was not correct.

mzlexipooh • 16 December 2010 at 1:31 AM

Grrr I am locked again, I am so confused, I know I have the correct answer for the Villanelle puzzle but it's telling me I am wrong. I am one step from giving up.

silverserpent • 16 December 2010 at 8:18 AM

@zac I haven't even found a room above 70 so now I feel really lost. 😋

Edit: Never mind. I finished the chapter now. It was good. The puzzles were fun (when they were spelled right so I could understand them 😸), but the cave was a pain in the... *ehem* Well, I cleared it so I'm not going to complain. It was fun. 😊
Great job, Zac! I'm impressed by the amount of work you must have poured into this project. 😃
*pokes chapter 2* 😉

libra • 16 December 2010 at 10:31 AM

@Zac- I feel like I am going to go brain dead with the first riddle. Which might not be a very good thing considering my semester finals are tomorrow.

plookle • 16 December 2010 at 4:37 PM

I'm so glad I'm finally finished. It was tough but fun. #4 baby!

Zac • 16 December 2010 at 4:53 PM

@mzlexipooh If you had the right answer, then it wouldn't be getting counted as incorrect. 😋

Orderedchaos • 16 December 2010 at 9:35 PM

I have a question. Why does my rank keep decreasing? I finished chapter one at rank two. Now a day or two later I'm rank 8? Does this just mean that I'm tied with a bunch of people or is there some other method of scoring that your going by? *no complaints just curious*

Zac • 16 December 2010 at 9:44 PM

York rank is composed of the people ahead of you and tied with you. So as people catch up your rank will go down.

We have a list of times that users finished that we will be releasing soon, so no worries!

I'm thinking that the way I will calculate overall winners is by adding the 4 ranks together and the winners are the one with lowest total rank will win. This way people can't just sneak up on frontrunners in the final chapter. 😊 What do you guys think?

I'm delaying the prizes a bit because I'm not really sure how many prizes I want to give out, and I don't really want to give up all my etches so I'm looking for donations . 😋 I can tell you guys that a Gobbler and or Onny will be up as a prize! 😃

mellyottl • 16 December 2010 at 10:01 PM

[so I'm # 8 then? Hey at least I'm in the top ten 😃 I just did this because it looks like fun, I didn't realize there were prizes! (I thought you meant the volunteering egg thing 😋)

Adding overall performance seems fair but those who join later will have so catching up to do. Are you going to track number of guesses as well or is that too much work and only in case of a tie?]

Zac • 16 December 2010 at 10:07 PM

I think the penalty is enough punishment for wrong guesses so I don't think I'll take those into account. Most likely, if there is a tie the users will split the prizes.

There was quite an extended sign up period so it's too bad for the users who chose to sign up late. 😋 (in most cases)

mellyottl • 16 December 2010 at 10:15 PM

[okey-dokey, then. true getting locked is very very frustrating.]

pendulum • 17 December 2010 at 5:50 AM

Okay. :/ Just leave it. Nevermind. ☹️

kota • 17 December 2010 at 11:54 AM

Hi, this looks great. Signed up today, can't wait to get started. Thanks for all your hard work!

mellyottl • 17 December 2010 at 1:21 PM

[it's really fun, I like brainteasers plus the competition bit.]

Orderedchaos • 17 December 2010 at 1:53 PM

Ah, thanks for explaining. My curiosity has been sated. 😊

plookle • 17 December 2010 at 11:41 PM

Got it, that makes sense. Hope I don't win one of the eggs though, I would probably just give it away. 😊 That's what I did with my Mo and all my extra Foos and Onnies, I don't want more than one of a certain egg. I'm playing for the CC prize, and because it's fun.

libra • 18 December 2010 at 10:54 AM

Well at least the puzzles are challenging.
