Who Am I?
Posted by: Rockmower
Who Am I? - 08/21/10 02:56 AM
We're pleased to announce the start of another "official" forum game called "Who Am I!" We will be periodically posting clues about a forum member. You use those clues to deduce who the member is. Easy right? Well...maybe not! First a few tips: In the
User List You can search by
- Alphabetically
- Member Number Just click on the little # sign at the top left of the header bar.
- Display Name
- Status
- Total Posts
- Location
- Occupation
Clicking the little arrow that appears by the search key will toggle the order from
ascending (smallest to largest) to
descending (largest to smallest)
Hint: searching by member # is a quick way to search by date a member joined also.Using the
Search function may also be very useful in this game.
A little sample game:Hint: - I am a woman
- I am a Grandmother
- I love dogs
- I live in Colorado
- I was a Certified Flight Instructor (with an Instrument rating to boot!)
- I joined the forum in October, 2004
- I have more posts than anyone else.
Answer: Did everyone guess LadyCFII?Ok gang! Get your Sleuth caps on and get revved up to go madly dashing through the forums! The first hint will arrive sometime Saturday, August 31st28th, 2010!
I'm ready! I can't wait 'till August 31st now!

OOPS! Sorry for the typo in the opening post! It should have read "The first clue will be posted sometime on Saturday, August 28th, 2010."

"I" am a girl/woman.
"I" have been a member for a little more than 3 years.
"I" am a self proclaimed "Geek."
Who am "I?"

I've written Fan Fiction,

I've read plenty more,
whenever I could.
I hail from New England,
I come here to play,
when I'm not off Scouting
on a warm Summer day.
I haven't been seen
in the forums for a while.
But I bet VV5
will make this boy smile!

Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/01/10 07:24 AM
Sorry, It's not Arnie.
As for working in teams...If you want to collaborate via pm's or other means, that is up to you. However,
Only one team member can submit the answer and be eligible for any "prize" awarded.(Note: My understanding, is that we will be issuing a "badge" which you can use in your siggy. The details on this are not final. We will let you know once this is final.)Now to address something I saw in the SB: The 1st clue for this game is
not something the subject said in a post. Rather, it is a clue concerning
something about the subject.
Bonus Clue: Think Helen ReddyGood Luck!

Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/01/10 07:52 PM
Ok, at least this one isn't a dead give away (at least so far).
I will "clarify" at the risk of making it obvious:
These 2 clues should tell you something about who the subject is. They are not intended to tell you who the subject is, just get you started in the right direction.Example: If I say "think 1080p" that means I want you to think about high definition televisions. Get it?
hint: You should search outside of the forum.

You're headed in the right direction Luke. Helen Reddy is indeed a female.
hint: search (I use Bing) Helen Reddy and see what it says about her.
hint: look at the 1st clue again. What is the question asking?

I think you might be right Krystal! My other 2 guesses must be wrong since Rockmower didn't say that either of them was correct.
Posted by: Rockmower
Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/02/10 08:46 AM
Congratulations to Krystal for winning Game 4!
For those of you who didn't "get it" I'm going to explain the clues:
Clue 1 was "Are you yobbo's barracking for VV5 as hard as I am?"
If you Google the words yobbo and barrack(ing) you will see they are uniquely Australian words. That should have told you the "subject" lives in Australia.The Second clue was: "Think Helen Reddy."
Again, a Google search would have turned up "Helen Reddy is an Australian born entertainer..." This should have told you the subject of the game is an Australian Woman. I'll put my thinking cap on and have a new game up soon.
Posted by: MissKathy
Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/02/10 01:48 PM
Great job Krystal!
When I first looked up "yobbo" it said it was a British word so I was looking for folks in Britian. Then the Helen Reddy pointed me to Austrailia.
Posted by: Krystal
Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/02/10 03:58 PM
That's about exactly what happened to me, MissKathy. Although I looked up "barracking" as well, as I wasn't familiar with that usage.
I'm so excited I was right!!
Posted by: MissKathy
Re: Who Am I? GAME 4 - 1st clues - 09/02/10 09:47 PM
I too looked up "barracking" and the first definition led me to believe that "barracking" was an exciting anticipation of an upcoming event or something. Then yesterday when I searched for another definition, "barracking" had a negative connotation. Congrats again!

Queries unravel early each night.

Puzzles look obtuse, knowledge neatly accompanies reason.
Does that help?
Hint: If you study the clue carefully, you should notice a change other than the rewrite of the last line.

Transcendentalism is a form of meditation. A person who meditates using this form is called a Transcendentalist.
Now I don't know that Arnie uses Transcendentalism, per se, but he is indeed the "Master of Meditation."

You are so very correct. Somewhere, sometime, this person admitted to the "fault" described in the 2nd part of the clue. The wording is not exact, but the intent is.
As for the 1st part, digging around in the
old posts of a certain forum might give you an idea of who this person could be.

Love
My love, my life,
my very breath I take!
awaiting, wanting.
My love, my life,
my very light are you!
elating, rejoicing.
My love, my life,
Beautiful moments we share!
My love, my life,
my very soul you are!
creating, enjoying.
My love, my life,
Beautiful memories we share!
My love, my life,
my very heart you take.
Escalating, energizing!
The beautiful love I receive!

Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/20/10 07:06 AM
I thought this was "Who Am I", not "decode this message".
Hehe. That aside, I don't think anyone will get it without a hint of what kind of numeric encryption it is.

Hehe. That aside, I don't think anyone will get it without a hint of what kind of numeric encryption it is.
It is "Who Am I." For this round you will have to decode the message to get the clue.
I decided to use a
very simple form of encoding. In fact this method is one of the earliest forms of encoding. It was popular with s
pie
s in the Cold
War era, and was usua
lly done using a newspaper or book.
In it's simplest form, the code would point to a particular word. I have made it a teeny bit harder, by having
the code point to a letter in a word.
Of course, if you all think it's too hard, say so and I'll scrap this round.

Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/21/10 01:02 AM
Doing this as un-obviously as I can.... does it have anything to do with post numbers?
Posted by: Rockmower
Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/21/10 01:42 AM
Bingo! The first "p" stands for post number. Now figure out what the other red letters stand for and you should be able to solve it!
BIG HINT:The first letter in the message is "o"

Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/21/10 08:52 AM
I must admit this r
ound is not working the way I had expected it to.
I failed to take into acco
unt several factors, the biggest of which is that different browsers display
results in different ways.
I have decided to
keep the or
iginal subject of this rou
nd but have buried the clue somewhere in this post.
I apologize for any confusion this round caused, and hope you like this way better. I will keep tryin
g different ways of posting the clues, because I think it keeps the game challenging. Just know I'm apt to make a mistake from time to time.

Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/21/10 12:48 PM
Is Arthur the answer?
And don't worry about it Rockmower. I just couldn't find the kind of encryption you were talking about. (Perhaps reveal it later?)
Posted by: Krystal
Re: Who Am I? GAME 11 - 09/21/10 02:32 PM
I figured out the code but since I couldn't get all the letters (And some of the ones I DID find were wrong
) it didn't go so smoothly.
I have to say that was a very clever clue to use, Rockmower!

First, congratulations to 30Flames3 for guessing the correct answer! As I stated above, I failed to account for the ways different browsers display results.
In fact, merely resizing the browser window can give different results!
The way it was
supposed to work is this:
224503 1 1 5 5
should have pointed you to Post # 224503 Paragraph 1 Line 1 5th word 5th letter.
When I originally did this in Firefox, full screen the result was O.
The clue was supposed to spell out o u r k i n g which of course, breaks down to "our king" which should have led you to guess Arthur!

If you look at Rockmower's post that he edited, (specifically
this one) you'll notice italic letters scattered throughout the post. If you use only those letters, they spell something that points to Arthur

That is the question I ask myself.
Yesterdays game turned out to be too simple.
Plenty of them are that way it seems.
Each should present a challenge.
Of course not too hard, but just hard enough.
Frankly it is difficult to do this.
Cryptology turned out very badly.
Obvious clues should be avoided, of course.
Our goal is a simple one:
"Keep you entertained."
If you have ideas please feel free to PM me.

I actually (sort of) expected this one to be less obvious. Indeed, I wasn't even sure most of you would realize there was a clue hidden in here.
For those who
didn't get it, if you read down the left side it spells "A TYPE OF COOKIE" which
of course is
chocolate chip.Sorry Krystal, but rules is rules. You get the win for this one also.

I dreamed of a land,
'twas beauty I saw.
A land full of peace

I welcomed this dream

and think it a deal.
I'd wake in the grass,

Rock told us in the Forums List » Fun Stuff » Off-Topic Discussions »
I'm taking a break:
...
I need to take some time to think about my role as a moderator, and whether I'm really doing what's best for the forum in that role. ...
...
So, both Fan Fiction, and Who Am I will be placed on hold.
I'm not sure how soon I'll be back. I will still be talking to the Administrators to get some feedback from them. Hopefully, both they and I will decide that this is the right place for me, and I will come back fresh and full of new ideas to help make this the pleasant place it's supposed to be.

Re: Who Am I? GAME 16 - 11/07/10 04:19 PM
Hmm...Let's try this a different way.
A lady out in Colorado thinks people who live life too cautiously are missing a lot of the excitement, and joy, one can get out of life.
This part of the clue is a sort of paraphrase of the message contained in the subjects siggy
She's also convinced that having just 4 ? equals 1 ??
This part of the clue is a veiled reference to the subjects screen name.
The only bearing Colorado has on the clue is that she lists Colorado as her location. Of course lots of members live in Colorado, so that isn't much help to you.
