3000 xp giveaway! Sequel to the smash hit!

Archive: 339 posts


So here it is - the sequel to the amazing 1500 xp giveaway! I hope there's just as much support this time round. Here's how it works:

I need a word. A specific word. The word is of no significance etc., it's just a word. Follow a series of clues to find it. There is going to be a LOT less help from me this time round. If I were you, I'd work together. Hard.

The current pot is 3000 xp

Prizes will be determined thus:

The winner (ie person who posts the correct word first) will receive 1500xp
Anyone who gives a new and original insight into a new way forward (be it by finding the solution to a particular clue, etc), will receive a cut of the remaining xp.

I warn you, this one is, IMO, much harder. I will be giving much less hints, and it'll be up to you to work your way through it. You will know when you've completed a certain stage, I'm sure of that.

Of course, massive thanks to Sage, who donated 300xp, Syroc, who donated 1000xp, and a HUGE thanks to the wonderful CC, who donated 2500xp, 1100 of which will be carried over to the next round!

PS: Do YOU think I'd make a good ballerina? I always dreamed of being one, and entered several competitions, but I stopped when my mother said, "bah, you look awful in a tutu." Nein! Won, oh, six times, I did, mother! Wish I'd shouted that at her at the time. Oh, well, I guess I never WILL be a ballerina.

Important Revelations

1) comphermc spots 229106 in my PS
2) comphermc find post #229106 on the forums - an ancient post I'd edited a Belarussian text into
3) moleynator translates it to find "Your world of the text. Slash hidden messages."
4) Syroc discovers "http://www.yourworldoftext.com/hiddenmessages"
5) Syroc posits that
--9
2

could be seen as 2^9=512
6) moleynator finds my PM on member 512, and my hidden image
7) From the blocks of morse code, comphermc decodes the second completely, and moley partially, giving a series of numbers
8) comphermc and dexiro discover that the numbers can be used to add spaces to the first block, and begin decoding it, starting with:

"Sowheredoyou"
9) compher finds the full translation

So where do you go from here? Well... i'll just give you the description of the word. in full. just find the actual word from its meaning. mkh qwsi uy e jwpj ihjwmujt e "mbnh wv y. evsugej ejured, qkugk gej mpsj ujmw e twwuvuhi ymemh (dufh ndeyre. ahddb) em qudd "

10) Frinklebumper and King_Tubb decode the scrambled definition
11) Dorien Dex wins! The word was splasmagorf, and was found in The Dictionary, a forum game where users make up definitions for made up words.

Score tally:

comphermc ||||| (5/12)*1500= 625XP <- donated to next round!
moleynator || (2/12)*1500= 250XP
Syroc || (2/12)*1500= 250XP
Frinklebumper | (1/12)*1500=125XP
King_Tubb | (1/12)*1500=125XP
Dexiro | (1/12)*1500=125XP + 1500XP for winning it=1725XP <- donated to next round
Total contributions = 12.

Next round's pot stands at 3650XP ALREADY!

Well done everyone, expect your XP soon!

Keep looking at it. Remember, I try to make it so you have to look at things from a new angle - what moley was doing "was good, but it's not right", as they say.

Also, I just made it UBERUBERHARD in the later stages! I'm going away on thursday, so I made it UBER TRICKY for you, to try and make it last longer!

Im gonna have another look...

Also, when I used internet explorer it came up saying undefined hundreds of times. I dont think it has anything to do with it. Just might be a problem for people that only have IE.

The next clue might be something to do with the gaps in the sentence.

compher, I think there's different ones. The first one I went to said something about "You've made it so far, your next hint is numbers" with a 9 and a 2. The second one had all the S's and D's.2009-10-18 22:29:00

Mine has not changed at all since Dawes got rid of the g's and stuff on the left.

EDIT: The 9th character (Not including spaces) is n and the second in the second line is o

Is the clue 'no'?

Ahhh, here's where the link between teamwork and individual point hoarding comes into play. Someone has erased what was there in order to keep the clue to themselves! Feel free to replace it with what it was, but I will not do so.

Moley, you're on /hiddenmessage, which was a temporary one, but it didn't work on the translator (it came out as "meaning" on the other end), so I created /hiddenmessages , which does keep its meaning.

So, since dawes said we should use the thread, I'll posit my latest theory.

I noticed the 2 is to the left of the 9. Perhaps that means we should be doing something with 29 instead of 92?

I have no idea where to start with this thing xD

Will i need to know something about padawan or star wars or something because i've never seen those.

maybe 92 minutes into one of them theres a clue related to padawan?

I still don't think the padawan reference means anythi---Wait. Never seen Star Wars? I think my heart just stopped.

Anyway, if you read the original thing, it said something about "My young padawan, you've come so far, here's your next hint:
--------9
-------2"

Something to do with 2^9 maybe?

512 is the result if anyone is too lazy to type that into google, spotlight or your nearest calculator

Maybe I'm killing the contest's mood, but can you post the morse code instead? You posted the world of hidden messages link, so why not the code. It's to hard to decode beacuse you can hardly tell the spaces in between.

It's not Pi.

This is a bit disturbing though. (http://pi.ytmnd.com/)

That is honestly, amazing. And yes "?" mean the translator could not translate.

ahh dawes's copypasta isn't the same as the code in the image

throwing a random idea out there but could it be binary?
Only if binary decided to add all the other numbers... It's called binary because there's 2 numbers it uses, 0 and 1.

dandygandy, binary can be expressed in any form using any number of symbols:

11101001001010

acebgdfihjklmn

I attributed a as the starting point for all 1s and b as the starting point for all 0s. Each time I came to a 1, I used the letter two ahead from the last, eg a->c->e->f. Same for 0s. Binary using 26 letters.

Don't worry, this puzzle is no where NEAR as complicated.

I'll tell you one thing - one of the posts at one time was close enough to crack the next stage.

Sorry, I think we are all really busy at the moment. It will be done eventually though.

Seeing as the masses of numbers have seemingly random gaps in them I think they might all represent a number. Try finding the mean of each group.
