antiaircraft Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 A couple of hints then, just to edge you a little closer to the solution: - A commonly used trick in codes is to break up the code into 'words' randomly so as to confuse the code cracker. Generally the first thing you do when cracking a code is to ignore the spaces. - Another commonly used trick in codes is to put in a whole lot of junk characters to disguise the actual message. - The 'key' for this code is embedded in the codetext itself. It's the only number that's repeated twice! Quote

It's the only number that's repeated twice! The code is hard for a reason. At this late stage on the island, anyone who can avoid the maze would have about an 80% chance of winning this game and the 75k+ prize that goes with the title of the champion. If no one does get it, that's still no problem. A NOTE: Azar shields you all from the ghosts this round, so no curses or blesses will be performed by the ghosts this round. Sorry Izzy >_<. Scenario closes: December 6th. ~Cameron~ Quote
Shattered_Ribbon Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah, you have Theo to thank for the code, scenario, idea and a good bulk of the script. The next contest's name is being decided now, Wildife 2 is simply a codename! *mysterious glance* Signups will be in the near future, before this contest ends, so we know what numbers we have to work with. We're aiming for 20 people right now, so tell everyone to come and join up once they open! Also, there will be an extra-special bonus for contestants of Wildlife 1, so make sure to try and come along, or you'll miss out! This offer includes penguins and her Royal Highness Princess Ruto if they have time. Crusher, over-and-out. PS: Like my new avvie? =3 ~Cameron~ Woot, I'm so excited. xD *starts advertising Wildlife 2* :competitive: And I do like your new avvie. Although I miss your old one. I always had a thing with cats. *sigh* Quote
Crusher Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 I have three cats, so I guess you could say I do too :P. I'll make another cat one later. Good luck for the code everyone! HINT: The solution is the title of a movie. ~Cameron~ Quote
antiaircraft Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 It is? o_O I just picked the message somewhat randomly. And I like that avvie as well, although the cat one looked cuter. Quote
Crusher Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 SIGNUPS FOR WILDLIFE 2 ARE NOW OPEN! http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?showtopic=7345. All members of this contest that join will recieve an extra advantage in-game ;). We already have 2 members, so get in there and register, then refer some friends for extra bonuses! ~Cameron~ Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 It seems with all the hype you're generating about Wildlife 2, people have lost interest in this one. :P C'mon survivors, you're almost to the end and the huge prize! Quote
Crusher Posted December 2, 2007 Author Posted December 2, 2007 I'm just hoping that it's because it's a hard scenario. Just to generate some hype about this one... THERE ARE 3 SCENARIOS LEFT UNTIL THE 75k PRIZE! ~Cameron~ Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Technically it's a 75k+ prize. I'm still waiting to give it to the winner... Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I gave out a few hints in this post: http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?showtop...st&p=127730 But it should still be exceptionally difficult. :devil: Quote
Strategos Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Can you tell us how long the first and second words are? Because I have a possible answer, but it seems too short. Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Hmm... all right, I'll say that the final answer is composed of ten characters (excluding the space in between the words). Quote
smumpkins Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Well, I won't be taking part in either this contest, or the next. You can thank one of your beloved moderators for this. I'm done with this site. I figure the few people that I talk to will see this post, so I'm putting it here. I'll check my PM's, on occasion, but starting January, I won't. I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world. Take care, Michael. Quote
Crusher Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 ;(. I'm sorry to see you go Michael...I hope you find happiness in your life. And this is a big setback for Wildlife 2 also...but we can pull through. New scenario in a few days. If no one can solve this, well it doesn't matter. ~Cameron~ Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 We'll give it our all. Don't worry if you can't solve this scenario - the penalty isn't *too* bad. On the other hand, the rewards if you can solve it are terrific... Quote

TT-TT *starts spilling snot all over ground* Aww, this sucks. ;_( *blows nose on Cameron's shirt* Hey, you were one of my closest friends here on TDNForums....=( Quote
The Original Luna Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Darn! We'll miss you too! However, this won't be the last you hear of Luna! Bye Smupkins, see you when you next pop by! Quote
xXMoonlightXx Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Smumpkins gone????Awwwww.... THat too bad =( you were my fifth friend smumpkin TT^TT I'll miss you...Cantaloupe.... Quote
Trisha Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Bye Michael and good luck. Well I am stumped on this code thingy, I can't get it nor can any of my smart friends teaching in the math department lol. My bad, I faxed it to them after I knew I couldn't get it =) I'm now stuck in the maze to die..... Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Hmm... you might just be able to survive the pounding I guess. We probably won't give you people a particularly severe penalty for this scenario, since it's so difficult. Quote
antiaircraft Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 We should end this contest pretty soon - I just have to poke Cameron into posting the results. Get out your poke machines everyone! Quote
Crusher Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 IMPORTANT MESSAGE Well, absolutely no one got the scenario correct, and this board has become completely inactive due to both AA and I becoming busy, and lack of interest. After discussing the matter with Theo, I now pronounce that the Wildlife Contest is officially OVER. The new contest will be beginning very soon, and Theo will award the prize worth over 75,000np to the player who survived with the best statistics. All living player's stats will transferred to the new contest, along with another small bonus. The 'dead' players will also recieve the small bonus, but ot the stats upgrade. Cameron, over and out. =Cameron= Quote
