Title: Re: FG Says 4 - by ji412jo
Post by: MyNameIsJoey on August 15, 2018, 03:57:33 am: Honestly, with trials and stuff... I forgot that the timer here was ending so soon. My bad.

This will start now, first task will be in the next post.

Hope you all enjoy the game :)

I will also write this in OP : Unless otherwise mentioned, answer in PM to ji412jo

Since I was late on post, rather than giving 68 hours (4 less than I'm supposed to) I'll give 92. Enjoy the extra time.

Post by: MyNameIsJoey on August 15, 2018, 04:00:03 am: Hi, I'm Serket.
Unfortunately, not all gods are perfect. A certain amount of them are lazy, and did not even bother to write in the OP.

Can you guess how many?

Could you?

Post by: shockcannon on August 15, 2018, 05:14:05 am: But it's so fun to see someone publicly post the wrong answer first and have everyone jump on the bandwagon.

You misspelled a word and it was bothering me.

Next time, tell me. That misspell was not on purpose but it could have been.

Next post is relevant.

Yes I'm double posting because I can.

Round 2

Destiny. Do you believe in me? Sometimes I doubt myself. What is the meaning of life? I don't know. Maybe a forum member would know about it.

Which forum member knows THE MOST about the meaning of life?

Title: Re: FG Says 4 - by ji412jo
Post by: iancudorinmarian on September 05, 2018, 01:31:20 pm: I'm curious to see the correct answers for all the questions.
Title: Re: FG Says 4 - by ji412jo
Post by: MyNameIsJoey on September 05, 2018, 01:36:22 pm: Congratulations to our winner! Here comes the explanation for every round.

Round 1 : as many guessed i was simply looking for amount of false gods - amount of colors, but somehow I didn't get the number i was looking for from anybody

Round 2 : here is where I decided to accept a 2nd answer. The meaning of life , is the exact wording of a team in brawl #4 , led by dawn to dusk. I would guess the boss of a team is the one that knows the most about it. But some people came up with the user #42 on the forum, and I liked that idea.

Round 3 : If you pair every character, I had switched the first and the second one. Simple as that. It read :
Hello my name is Chaos Lord.
During an experiment, I accidentally scrambled my speech.
Please help by sending the word "scramble".

Round 4 : Ah gemini. I thought my gemini speech was not too easy to understand but everytime at least one person gets me, so that means it's possible to get it.

Tell us the name |||| Previous task

So you need to tell the name of the previous task

If it's false ||| If it's holy

This was a lead towards the word ''God''

Only the first ||| Never the last

So only the first name.

In the previous task, the false god was chaos lord. So the answer was ''Chaos''.

Post by: kaempfer13 on September 05, 2018, 03:05:06 pm: I knew chaos was part of the answer, but why are only 2 lines of the riddle actually relevant? Why so many red herrings, they dont actually make it tougher just more random whether you understand it as the author meant it.

I complicated things by noticing that the difference between gemini 2s secondlast and last line was 'ess' so i thought i should take chaos first name and then add replace the last letters with that ess leading to chess.

which is either unfathomably stupid or genius.

Would my other answer 'chaos is best' have counted or did it have to be exactly chaos?
Title: Re: FG Says 4 - by ji412jo
Post by: MyNameIsJoey on September 05, 2018, 03:11:39 pm: considering I wanted only chaos, I was not going to accept longer answers.

That's what i meant by ''your answer must be best'' as in, it has to be the best, or the most exact.

Joey tends to make his riddles not have only one definitive answer (e.g: Round 2). The problem is when Joey does not accept valid answers that his riddles do not rule out. The last FG Says was like this too, that is why I decided to just watch.

The "scramble" task with Chaos Lord was a nice change of pace though, with only two possible answers (scramble or "scramble").

Thing is, at some point, the game needs to end. I have some people send me multiple answers trying to cover all possible basis and honestly, im going to ban that next time around, ill only take the first answer. If people send me all words that exist everytime I can't go around accepting everything
Title: Re: FG Says 4 - by ji412jo
Post by: MyNameIsJoey on September 06, 2018, 04:00:50 pm: also, sorry for double post

I'm sorry that my tasks aren'T perfect, but its not easy always coming up with new stuff everytime. Just how many riddles can you come up with, while trying not to reuse old ones? I mean at least I'm trying and not letting this section die. You can either accept that this isn't perfect and enjoy the game or live without it, at this point i couldn't care less. But I feel that even if it isn't perfect, I'm doing all i can, and offering good entertainment.
