Ok, cleaned, gutted and scaled, so the new Incog's free to pronounce him/herself!
-
this game is dead...
I arrest FM twice. ;)
-
How come the game is dead?!? If we still have an Incog, that's pretty much what's needed! I'd hate to think that one guy at Round 6 was lousy enough to kill the game... :(
-
Shut up Sop! Just because that Incog did a lousy job doesn't mean that you have to push it.
Yo Incog R8(well I guess I shouldn't be talking to you about this but...), sign me up for the po po duty.
P.S.
Do I get free donuts and coffee?
-
Sign me up. I might as well take a whack at this one too...
-
Ah, good. Two cops so far, any more for our little game? :ninja:
-
I'll join. Incog, :twisted: Bring is on :twisted:
-
Any more
sacrificial lambs? volunteers? I won't wait forever... :evil:
-
The game will begin at 12:00 noon today, forum default time. Regardless of the number of cops.
-
Elendil!Urukfear, Gate Troll, and GarrisonofGondor were relaxing at the police station and consuming excessive amounts of coffee and donuts as they waited for noon. The assassin at said he would begin his rein of terror at 12:00 P.M. TLHH default time and the cops had been waiting patiently for the clock to strike noon. Several days before they had raided the apartment of the previous assassin and had found nothing except a laptop and a message, announcing that a new assassin was on the loose. Suddenly the clock struck noon and the laptop in the corner made a dinging sound; the sound that announced a new email. Officer GarrisonofGondor walked over to the laptop and opened the email. The email read thus:
Greetings officers. I’m sure you’re all dying to get your hands on me, no pun intended and as there are only three of you I’m sure you’re that much more anxious. I have left this laptop for a purpose. On it is a computer program I designed that contains 10 consecutive passwords, with each password protecting a piece of information regarding either my identity or the identity of a victim. I will give you a clue for each password that should assist in your deciphering the password. Crack all ten passwords and save at least 4 victims and you will reveal my real name. I must warn you though; fail to protect 4 or more of my victims and this program will delete itself. You have four days to decipher each password and its clue. Are you ready? Good. Let’s begin.
Password clue #1:
I am hidden in 871. Look for the blue letters.
-
Dang! I have no idea what Incog is talking about. The question is, what is 871? Is it 8U71?
The problem is though, there are no blue letters in Flung into the Fray. I'm stumped.
Anybody else have any other ideas?
-
the word you are looking for is "time"
-
Thanks, Hawkeye.
-
But... but how?
-
Very good HawkeyeSPF. Figure it out FM. You're very good at that.
Now, you have cracked the first password. Will you save my first victim?
Your clue is in the words:
Now be and rise do either none.
-
I don't want to come late to the party and all here, but can I be a cop too and protect NBarden?
-
You may join.
-
... Sorry I'm late I ate too many dognuts and almost got sick last night.
But It looks like it's under control
-
Can I get involved?
And I agree with HawkeyeSPF
-
You may become a cop, as there is still room for one more.
-
Hi...
Bye...

Now, let's see if my my first victim survived the attempt on his life:
I drove towards NBarden's house, mindful of the possibility of a police ambush.
I parked my Jeep a few hundred yards from his house and crept towards it, a gun in my hand.
When I came within view of the house I was frustrated by the sight of several police cruisers
parked in the drive. "Foiled," I though to myself as I retreated the way I had come.
That was alright though, there were plenty of chances left to even the score...
HawkeyeSPF successfully cracked both the password, and the clue to my victim.
NBarden is safe, for the moment. This is only a taste of what's to come, so don't
let your guard down yet.
Back at the police station, the cops crowded around the laptop and opened
the program I had left. Before them the following message appeared:
Good job. You have saved one of my victims, but many more remain and their
lives rely on your collective good judgment and common sense. Good luck, amigos.
Password clue #2:
"Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow,
a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the
stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by
an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
4 days.
-
Hmm...Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5 23-28...and it's missing the other lines he says before that:
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death."
Having a tough time with this one. Any ideas?
-
Is this in a book?
Or just a play write.
I'm guessing it either has to do with Macbeth himself or has to do with the title of the scene.
-
Well, the lines are spoken by Macbeth right after Lady Macbeth dies. I'm not seeing any potential passwords though,
I'll try tomorrow after I've gotten some sleep. :)
-
Sadly you failed to crack the password in time.
You will receive a clue to a victim's identity, but you have only 24 hours to protect the correct person.
You should protect the unknown.
-
I protect myself :mrgreen:
-
Yea, no clue what he's talking about. I protect myself as well, sorry to the person who may or may not die, but I haven't been home since last night and I was busy.
-
As I drove down the road I pondered my next move. "Was the clue about 'the unknown' too easy?"
I thought. "Will this be another defeat?" I parked my truck several hundred feet from the house and
crept towards, it, mindful of the light in one of the windows. I slipped up to the door and unlocked it.
I searched several bedrooms until I found the one that was lighted. I opened the unlocked door and
drew my silenced .45. My victim was unprotected. He looked at me for a single second, then I shot him.
Anonymous Prodigy, the unknown, was dead. I doused the room with gasoline, lit a match, and dropped it.
I set several more fires and departed, satisfied that I had done my predecessors proud.
The cops failed to protect Anonymous Prodigy and he has payed the price of their incompetence.
While I carried out my plan, the cops were busy milling around the police station.
Officer GoG and Officer E!U had barricaded themselves in a corner of the station as
the other officers drank coffee and ate donuts. Suddenly, the program the assassin
had created opened, and this message appeared.
The unknown is dead. I would have thought you would have drawn a correlation to
Anonymous Prodigy and the unknown. Pity that you failed. This is your first defeat.
It will not be your last. Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahah! :twisted:
Password clue #3:
He who created it doesn't want it.
He who bought it doesn't need it.
He who has need of it doesn't know it.
You have 4 days to solve both password and clue.
-
Original, eh? :roll:
-
The probable answer to this clue is 'good counsel'... at least thats what comes to me first
-
I arrest Gate Troll.
-
You got me. Hands up. :cop: :wuh?: :cop: How did you guess? :lol:
-
IDK, wait a sec. Did I catch incog BEFORE someone arrested Felipe Musco? :o
-
Wow that was quick
-
Ok... I'm kinda glad It's over because if it had continued for this long, I wouldn't have been on until now... not that it matters or anything.
