i found the eggs for bravo but the answer doesn't work....

welcome to the club

I don't know for sure... Certain is that once you entered the toplist (when you finished all), you stay there, even when answers to levels change. That list resets only when new chapters are launched....

So there's a possibility that I can finish all 6 current chapters, but still have to go back and re-solve levels? That sucks.

Can you give me a hint on the end of chapter 5 (what AWP stands for). Brain must've left and I'm stuck here.

Ok, this level is totally frustrating me. I got the first egg (thanks to Brain), but I'm stuck on it. It's a really vague question and I've tried all that applied. Can someone help me? Thanks.

[brainisdead]

[brainisdead]

F5 refresh should fix it. It's official, neither DonD or Mod Muzzy64 can handle any type of negative criticism. DonD Pm'd me and asked me to delete my comment about bravo being faulty. i said no, i'd correct it to say its not faulty now but it was before. Muzzy64 just completely deleted a comment about bravo being faulty like Lock & Bart had been claiming it was rude.
I'll be honest here folks, its them doing and saying stuff like that thats putting me off wanting to play this game any more.

Brainisdead, and anyone else reading this: I have just replied to your PM at OddPawn. As I said there, criticism about a level being faulty and rude finger-pointing are 2 completely different things. Please consider the way you convey things before posting. Rudeness is disturbing and not allowed in the forum. I (or any other mod or admin) have no problem at all about you or anyone reporting a bug or fault. In fact, we ask for people to report bugs so they can be handled! Your post was edited on the basis of rudeness, not the fault. The fault has been noted. Unfortunately I cannot do anything about it since I A) did not change the level and B) do not have access to the data base. So please be patient and bear with us. I realize there are and have been bugs which needed/need to be corrected. But being rude really does not help solve the problem. We try to make these chapters as challenging and perfect as possible. Unfortunately sometimes errors can occur. We do appreciate everyone's comments, feedback and reports. But please keep it nice.

Edit: By the way, there may be a reason why some levels have been changed. Why don't you try asking the admins first, before flipping out about it? Their reason may be a good one. Hear them out. Then make your judgment.

i was just told another level in chapter 1 had changed, its level 42. the source clue is some sort of cypher. not caesar though.

@Muzzy64: While I can only speak for myself, I must say that I don't think any of us have intentionally posted anything for the sake of being rude. As long-term riddle players, we enjoy the challenge of riddles and look forward to completing them.

Constantly changing the answers to various levels has caused a number of problems for players:

1. Losing our progress along the way because of cookie issues has been seriously frustrating enough, but is further compounded by the answer changes. Even if we've solved a level previously, our initially-correct answers are now rejected. So, in addition to having to re-enter all of our old answers just to get our progress back, we are forced to replay entire levels that we've already solved.

2. Changing the answers has often resulted in new bugs, etc. that make the level temporarily unsolvable. This frustrates new players and old players alike.

3. Finally, many players rely on previous hints given in the forums to help them solve a particular level. When you change an answer, many of these hints become obsolete and can actually lead new players down a wrong path. This increases the frustration

So, while I applaud the efforts of everyone involved in making this riddle, the constant changes are taking away from the overall entertainment value. Unless a level is faulty or erroneous, would you guys consider just leaving it alone?

[brainisdead]

I don't think it's any secret that I hate that levels keep being changed. Quite frankly todays 3 level changes are the straw that broke this camels back. If the finish line is going to keep moving back then whats the point of running towards it. That being said I'll no longer be getting involved in new solves of changed levels, I officially no longer care about them. I will also no longer be reporting faulty levels, they can find them themselves. I am still here to offer help on any level that hasn't been changed before today. Good luck solving Jar Jar & Level 42. I just wont be available to offer advice on those levels. That being said. I was a fraction away from stopping playing all together. THATS how annoyed I currently am. Which quite a few people will know from my PM's.

Please do still feel free to PM on any level other than Jar Jar Binks or level 42. End of soapbox speech.

Though I have not seen any other posts by you, this is the kind of post we are happy to read and willing to solve. So THANK YOU for that. We are more than willing to handle any and all errors and bugs. Rudeness HAS been posted despite several warnings. And the person or people who have done it know I am talking about them.

Constantly changing the answers to various levels has caused a number of problems for players:

1. Losing our progress along the way because of cookie issues has been seriously frustrating enough, but is further compounded by the answer changes.

That's right. Cookie issues can become frustrating in a riddle that is played based on it (the cookie). However, the cookie can be saved, as a back-up, in case it is needed. I do realize it is frustrating to have to replay levels you have already solved. Believe me, I know. However, there IS a reason for the changes. I have just made an announcement about it at the official forum, you can see it here. We ARE trying to make these chapters better while also working on new ones.

2. Changing the answers has often resulted in new bugs, etc. that make the level temporarily unsolvable. This frustrates new players and old players alike.

As explained in my announcement at OddPawn, while some may have errors, others have been reported to be faulty when there is no problem at all. If any have errors or seem to be faulty you are more than welcome to report it. All we are asking for is for the requests/comments/complaints to be conveyed as such, not rudely.

3. Finally, many players rely on previous hints given in the forums to help them solve a particular level. When you change an answer, many of these hints become obsolete and can actually lead new players down a wrong path. This increases the frustration

You're right about this. Some old hints become useless. But after all, that is what the forum is for. Changes have been announced and new players can ask for new hints. And of course, new hints can be provided. We are here to help, not to make your guys' riddling impossible

Unless a level is faulty or erroneous, would you guys consider just leaving it alone?

As I said, there is a reason for the changes. And again, for that, you can see my announcement at the forum.

Thank you for bringing all this up. I do think it is important to clear this up. And any comments or feedback are appreciated (but again, no rudeness involved, please).
