i would not discuss it here if I were you, they said they would open a specific forum area for us to use, so that after the 90minutes are up they can take it back down so we cant see it anymore
-
According to Sam's topic post, only about 5 minutes till our first "sharing" session, get your pencils ready! ;)
-
ack ack ack!
fell asleep at the keyboard!
stayed up all night to have first crack at the new clues and pass out before they are up! :(
Ok, off to work........ *sweatdrop*
-
incase anyone is interested :P
I am still up, still just futilely attacking the chia....
Anxiously awaiting the release of the next wave of clues.
*yawn*
Those horrible chias will pay for..., for..., for making me stay up all night!
:S

I had an extra hard time finding the hint...
Just out of habit, when i surf around I usually turn off all the internet "bells and whistles" (i have a firefox extention that gives me a toolbar to turn off java, javascript, flash, animation, fonts, colors, etc)
So here I am going around looking for the clue that was supposed to be right infront of me and because I had everything turned off I could not even see that all the smileys were animated. ;)
So just incase you have your browser settings cut back like I had mine, or you are browsing the forum using LYNX (a really old text-only browser) you will not be able to see the clue.
(mods: this post meant as a warning to anyone such that they know what proper software and settings need to be enabled to even see the clue, sorry if it might give too much of a clue to the location of the clue, but I know no other way to clue them in.)

still spamming myself against the chias.......
just got done with:
slap, slap, slap, slap, *, *, *, *, *.....
5^5 combinations tried (i'm keeping track of my attempts with a spreadsheet )
man, this chia is harder than the mayor was in the TNT plot.
-
has anyone participated in past plots?
even if we beat the chia, i do not know how to submit all those red codes I have been gathering...
and did anyone else notice the the first code we got from part 6 was NOT a red code? it was a "white" code... hrmmm

animetriplicate, sent you a PM cause I don't want to give away too much on the forum
-
Well, I was able to find a single "hint", but that is only one of 9 hints we need....
and I know that just that one hairy hint is not enough because I have used that command 9 times already and it is not the solution....
is there more hints? because I even opened the file with an editor to make sure there was not more data hiding in it and it only had that one hint...
***arg***!!!!!!
-
The reason that there was no thread here is that everyone has been posting in the "official" reply thread for Part 6...
It was linked to in the Sticky announcing the release of the chapter.
Come and help us fight the Chias!
-
slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, *, *, * <-- eliminated
243 combos eliminated so far...
I think that is all I can afford to try tonight, i have a final exam tomorrow that I should be studying for.
Good luck guys and keep up the fight! :rolleyes_anim:
-
well, just to start the elimination process rolling....
7 slaps followed by ANY for the last two do not work
so that eliminated 32 possible combos for everyone. :P
only 59 thousand more to go...
-
so..... um,
I'm guessing that the chia fight must have something to do with the order....
Since there are WAY too many possible combinations for any of us to try on own own (9^5=59049)
anyone want to get organized and delegate the possible combinations out?
I think we are going to have to work together to beat this boss :P
we could like block out the first six attacks, delegating that block to an individual.
to "complete" that block they would only need to go through 3^5 (243) combinations and then it would be off of everyone's lists of possible combos.
The only trouble i see with that is there would still be 6^5 (7776) blocks of combos to check, and it is not like we have the full force of neopets users to grind through all those combos.
Any suggestions? realy without any other clues during the battle as to the "correct" combo (some sort of feedback that we hit him the right way would have been nice), there is no option but to brute-force it, or just get very very lucky. We are talking lottery kind of lucky here... :whistle:

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you.
I was just on the site so I thought i'd make a contribution. :sad02:

So, are we ever going to see the release of part 6?
See the poll and cast your vote! :P

I look at it this way: We are getting free stuff for our Safety Deposit Box (for those who still do not have the pack-rat avatar) and mementos of our past :* heck, I still have a mystery island statue in my box from way back when you had to earn your access to the mystery island. :laughingsmiley:

puzzlex_x, any hints?
I cannot tell you any direct hints on how to solve the puzzle, but perhaps it is safe to tell you what kind of puzzle it is to get you thinking in the right direction...
This kind of puzzle is known as a REBUS, and you can find lots of examples of different rebus puzzles on the internet with just a little searching, and if you solve a few practice puzzles on those sites, then come back here it should not be very hard to solve this one.
Good luck!
(And my apologies in advance to the moderators if this is giving too much help. I have seen lots of people seeming to get stuck on this puzzle, so I thought this might at least give a nudge in the right direction as well as educate people in the background of the puzzle. If this is too much help, I fully approve deleting this post.)

Part 6 will be subject to some delay - we're awaiting some artwork. XD
Soooooo.... Any update about when part 6 will be here?
I know it is not easy coming up with content for something like this, but it is now after thanksgiving...
And the last update we had from anyone was almost a week ago.
I would be nice to see a post at least saying that "we are working on it" and know that the plot has not been abandoned.
If there is any help I could volunteer to help you guys, send me a PM or something and I would be happy to help (i know it is too late to help on this plot, but perhaps on the next one).
I am not saying that I am great at "creating" puzzles, but I do have quite a bit of experience with puzzles, and I was also one of the finalists for "The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google" back in may. :graduated:
Just contact me and I will be whatever help I can provide.
-
I'm done, ready for part six now.
all-in-all, these puzzles for this part were quite easy. :graduated:

For the "city" puzzle, I never did manage to see any clues in the picture, so I just started brute-forcing it.
The clue said it was an American city, so I searched the internet and managed to find an alphabetical listing of every name of every city in the USA.
I took a very long time of entering in city names, but it eventually worked (well it had to, no give-away there).
Even now knowing the correct solution, I do not see how the puzzle provided clues to solve it. :sad01_anim:
So, if you get stuck on the "city" puzzle, at least you now have an idea how to solve it, but I would not suggest doing this unless you cannot figure it out any other way. It took me about 3 hours of entering city names to finally solve it using this brute-force approach.
Good luck!

I have made it as far as the "city" puzzle, but I have no clue what the puzzle is asking me to do...
Am I just suppose to ramdomly guess city names? or is there some clue?
I tried examining the city skyline photo in every way I know (even opening the file and looking at the values trying to find a hidden message) and I just not see how the image provides any clues to the puzzle solution.
Is the "wortd" typo a clue?
If anyone could give me a nudge in the correct direction, I'd really appreciate it.
And just to avoid anyone complaining about me asking for help...
No i'm not asking for a solution, i'm asking for clarification because I find the puzzle too vague to progress.

OFFICIAL PART 6 FREE DISCUSSION
in Halloween Plot: Ian's Missing
Posted
yay, so, um , any ideas anyone?
My first major question:
since the 2nd hint that we just found this morning in the new area of the plot pages was listed as "[hint #1]", does that mean it is the first action we are to use in the battle?
And the hint that was given in Sam's sig, which position does that go in?
Yes having the actions helps narrow things down, but we really either need to know ALOT more of the actions, or we need to know what positions our currently known actions go in. Otherwise they only help just slightly more then sitting there and laughing at us futilely fighting an invincible chia.
