Cryptos

[kuang]

It's a very shifty puzzle, that one..

[armadillo_pie]

I take it you haven't checked the main page recently? Something is afoot.
Aha! No, I hadn't seen that. I kept checking the last page I landed at.

Well, this is wonderful news! Thanks, Cryptos. :)

[Bronwyn]

Temp end! (I think?)

[kuang]

There's one level to complete after Lock, Stock and Barrel - you'll then get to a blank holding page.

[Bronwyn]

I got blank page after Amontillado, anyone?

[kuang]

That's right - we're waiting for that one.

[jaxy]

Ok, I know what those numbers are and I decipherd them but now where to go???? Do I have to find the B*** C***? Or are they just going there for L****?

[Bronwyn]

Jaxy, if B*** C*** is what I think it is, you are right. Just add what it is in the end.

[jaxy]

Thanks Brownyn :D I got it just ignore my pm.

[Bronwyn]

Ah, well done :)

[jaxy]

I'm stuck again :'( I've been searching parcades, museums, universities, labs, but nothing's working, I'm adding Singapore to them, but i can't seem get anything that works.. A little help please, thanks =)

[Bronwyn]

You're at Catch and Release? This was awful, I only got it by reading hints but I never understood how it actually should be solved.

[jaxy]

Yes catch and release. I've read the hints and still don't understand :frustrated: Am I looking for an address or a place and am I on the right track???? I just dont know???


EDIT: Thank You so much Brownyn for your help! :)

[Bronwyn]

A place. I really don't know how to hint this so I could only give you the answer. Or give me a minute, I'll check that level again to see if there is something...

Well, couldn't find anything helpful in the level page, but maybe posts 1336 and 1337 give some help.

Edit: Glad you got it :)

[jaxy]

I have read the hints and know that this is a shifty little puzzle, but still I get nothing. I dont think I can find the right kind of cipher to use.



Edit: Thanks anyway, I'll try to work with that!

[Bronwyn]

No cipher needer. Except when you have the right word. I'm too tired to give you a hint, I can barely think clear. It's about 4 am here. Luckily I don't have to go to work as I'm on holiday/vacation for this week.

[kuang]

There's one item in the room that gives you a hint about what else you have to do to the answer given by the clues

[GentsBabe]

Being a terrible glut for punishment, I stopped by to see if there had been any new level/s added to Cryptos. I have to wonder if the game is dead, or maybe comatose? The "official" Cryptos forum is offline; it seems the board is under new management and Cryptos hasn't reactivated the forum since the change over.
Maybe I wasn't there at the time you were, but the forum is still there. No new posts since Oct. of last year. It does say something about a new server, so maybe that's why it was offline for you? I gave up on this long ago.



Level 32 is a popular math puzzle and Level 34 is something you would fill out in a sunday paper....

[jaxy]

Thanks to everyone for all the great hints, I finally got it!!!!!
Now on to lvl 35 wish me lots of luck :)



Edit: made it to a blank holding page.

[Cryptos]

I'm pleased to report that we met last week to hammer out the last 10 or so levels.

We then proceeded to play 12 straight hours of strategy games.

Final exams are looming, but it'll all be over by the end of May. Between then and university, I think there's a good chance we'll be able to summon the time needed to finish this thing off.

Keep in mind, we have a couple crazy ideas.

[kuang]

That's synonymous with 'we're going to hurt you lots.. then a bit more' isn't it? :)

[armadillo_pie]

Oh man, I'm stocking up on pizza and aspirin now! :itchyscra

[fred]

At my age, I can barely remember my name, but bring it on!

[Jase]

is the last page still supposed to be blank as that is all i have???

[linkinpark333]

last time ive checked its a temp end

[armadillo_pie]

I think they've graduated and left us all behind. :elephantbye:

[jay z]

so...guys, is anyone gonna bother to keep checking this? or are we all just gonna give up?

[linkinpark333]

ive checked the last page
its still blank

[GentsBabe]

I realize that the guys do have lives, but hell, it's been like 2 yrs now. I stopped holding my breath after the third "next levels are coming!"

**walks out**

[fred]

Gotta agree that the Cryptos guys have probably moved on. My God, what if they grow up?!? As I recollect, those of us "registered" with the "actual" Cryptos forum should get an e-mail copy of anything they post there. Maybe we'll hear from them some day. Meanwhile, its nice to see a familiar handle/aviar every now and again on this Gamershood site, even though I always pushjed for more use of the "real" forum. This was a hoot of a riddler, with some sharp cookies helping out when us dumbos were stuck. Live long and prosper!
