[color=orange]CHALLENGE LISTING[/color]
[color=green]Keyword Challenge #1[/color]
If any player posts a valid post with the secret Keyword in it, he or she will win a free item! The word is a potentially everyday word. (So, it's not 'hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia'.) Word lists do not count. The word must be found in a sentence inside a valid post. This has a good history of promoting activity, so let's see some interesting stories! (Update: remember that the post does not have to be about the game. Also, any tense of the word will work as well [*-s, *-ing, *-ed, *-like, etc. will all do.)[/color] [color=purple]This Challenge lasts until the end of the game.[/color][/color]
[color=green]Riddle\Encryption Decryption[/color]The first person to successfully complete this challenge wins 10 points, the second person wins 5 points, and the third person wins 2 points. After that is one point. Send your answer to me in a private message with the header, "WTB Riddle".
Decrypt the following. You win 2 bonus points if you can give me a valid explanation of the decrypted text.
KEY: -[ (C - B + C - D + D + M - F + A) / C ]
"WKHUH DUHQ'W DQB JURZQXSV. ZB VKDOO KDYH WR ORRN DIWHU RXUVHOYHV."
[color=purple]This Challenge lasts until the end of Round 4.[/color]

amish?

I believe that this post either confirms the boss is american or australian. The Amish are people who live in the eastern United States, willingly living without modern technology. I've only ever heard the term aboriginal in reference to the native peoples of Australia, but I coul be wrong on that.
I'm not really sure that anything can be gleaned from the memo and psych question answer. I'm confused.
if i would become a bit sexist, i can say that the post seems like the boss is a guy. a girl wont be looking for a hard life. they would prefer a life of luxury and comfort, and so definitely not amish. (no offence meant on the female players). but then again, if the boss is going around bluffing, it could very well be a girl. am still sticking to my vote one emma.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

It was my understanding that the boss had to be truthful, but they could obfuscate the truth and present it any way they want - so long as their answer to the psych question is truthful. This just comes from someone who's actually read the rules (albeit a very long time ago).
i am so confused.

I shouldn't really make a comment here, but for sake of understanding, please know that just about every female cousin I have would prefer sports and camping to luxury and comfort.emma5799979 wrote:

I think we're two of the last! Unfortunately, there's really no way to enforce that rule.Finally, Izzie successfully completed the challenge and got the bonus! +12

as i said, i posted after seeing the girls in our school. most of them fit the description i gave. and i said i meant no offence or anything. just stating m observations.
so other then that, i have no clue as to what to do. and izzie, since you bought the lens of truth, what did you reveal?? mind sharing?
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

There was a problem with her request. Simply put, you have to give a username, not "My target is the Boss. Reveal the Boss." I bounced her request and am waiting for a new one.
On the private purchase thing, since I know I'm probably going to take some heat from Izzie about it, if you spend a lot of points or buy a one-of-a-kind item, it's rather obvious that it's you.

I see where you're coming from, buu. Most of the people I know in general (myself included!) would prefer an easier life. Isn't that why we have so much technology?
I kind of think the boss is being truthful. That'd be an oddly specific way to lie... I'm never right about girl/boy or younger/older, but I do read the memos with a young male voice.
Random safety for now because I have to get back to work.

I'm really really confused voting wise. Did we have a boss clue a few rounds ago that never got solved? We could work on that?

i guess that did not happen. voting for this round ended hope we have some lead to vote on in the next round.

I sent you a private message, Izzie. You have to give me a username. I thought it was obvious that I would not just tell you who the Boss is unless you guessed the right person. I sent that message to you at 11:29 A.M., nine hours before the round ended. You never replied.

okay. that is weird. and mod, i have a question. is the boss allowed to buy from the player bazaar? because is he is, then that will clear izzie.
Yes. In the interest of protecting its identity, the Boss collects points and can purchase items from the player bazaar as well as the Boss Bazaar.

i have an issue with my posts/PMs not going through when i am using my phone
i did resend my reply. when i get an answer, i will share it IF that is allowed
Yes, that's allowed. If you ask via PM, I answer via PM. If you ask in the forum, I answer in the forum. That's my rule of thumb for all contact with my players unless there's a good reason to contact them another way.
