Does anyone know why welovepuzzles.com has been down over the last few days?

Have they pulled the plug? Is there a technical fault?

Black Card Trading? Anyone?

Joker77@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 22:11:25 +0000

Hi,

I'm sorry if I've put this in the wrong place but everything seems so messy and all over the place. Perhaps we should start card trading forums by each colour and wave? It'd be so much simpler to find things and you wouldn't have to trawl for ages trying to find something. Please forgive me if I'm seem to be rude of anything, because I don't mean to be and please don't trout me because I'm an ickle newbie and don't know all the rules and the in's and out's ect. (although I'm trying to learn them!).

*ducking to avoid fish*

Well anyway, I've got spares of Black 219 and 210 and need to get 215 and 217. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

Laura

is it possible to check season 2 solves?

Cabbage@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:23:14 +0000

Having just unearthed by file of cards, does anyone know if you can check season 2 card solves anywhere please?
The official Perplexcity site does not seem to recognise the numbers (under the scratch off panel) for anything other than wave 1 cards. I don't really want to think I have wasted time & money on these - but I might have :(

Does anyone have any spare red/orange/yellow Season 1 cards?

pineapplejelly@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:05:47 +0000

I got lots and lots of Perplex City cards when they were still on wave 3 of season 1. This means I have a near-perfect wave 1-3 collection but am severely lacking on wave 4 even in the really low-coloured cards. I've been getting some cards off ebay but for reds/oranges/yellows they only seem to sell them in "complete sets" and I don't want to buy ALL of them, so I was wondering if anyone had any spares they didn't mind sending me?

I need:
Red: 8 26 28 29 31 32
Orange: 58 60 61 62 63 64
Yellow: 72 90 92 94 95 96

I have spares of almost everything else so if you have anything missing that you want to swap, I'll be more than happy to.

(I also need some silvers and blacks (scroll down), which I made different posts for a while back.)

Silver trades (Season One)

pineapplejelly@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:58:55 +0000

Yes, that's right, I'm one of the determined few who
a) didn't get round to completing their S1 card set and
b) still cares...

So anyway, I have duplicates of
225 Broadside
230 Eternally Grateful
233 The Earth's Destiny
241 T-L-P
242 Ciphers of History
243 Shuffled
244 Syzygy Cube
246 Homage in Glass
247 Polar
248 Differently Lethal
249 The Angel's Key

I need
235 Circuitous
236 Swarms
237 Roaming Identity
238 Riemann
239 Persian
245 Relativity
250 Manoeuvres
252 C. 237.85, F. 460.13,
253 Sightseeing
254 Escape
255 Clinical Explanation
256 Billion To One

If anyone has spares they haven't eBayed and is still up for a swap, I would love to do so. I live in the UK but I'm willing to post outside of it.

Looking for Season 1 Silvers

Joker24-7@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 13:19:42 +0000

I have pretty much given up hope of ever getting all of the Season 1 silver cards. However, I'm going to try something new: I am now interested in trading for your used Season 1 silvers. Sure, I still prefer cards with untouched codes but I really want to finish up my collection!

I still need the following:

#236 Swarms
#237 Roaming Identity
#238 Riemann
#239 Persian
#250 Manoeuvres
#252 C. 237.85, F. 460.13,
#253 Sightseeing
#255 Clinical Explanation
#256 Billion to One

Unfortunately, I am down to only two silver cards to trade...

#240 Elucidate
#249 The Angel's Key

If you would like to trade a used silver card, I probably would not be interested in trading my unused silvers. However, I have other Season 1 cards available:

#012 Alcopoetry
#044 You Are Here
#121 Seven Bridges
#142 Photoshopped
#161 Dances With Bees
#163 Domino Dilemma
#164 Weighs and Means
#165 Rolling Around x2
#167 Circular
#170 Vexillology
#172 Freefall
#173 The 14-15 Puzzle
#174 Jaunty Paul
#175 Binary
#177 Consider A Spherical World
#179 By Another Name
#180 ARG!
#183 Drinking Gourd
#184 Love Letters
#185 Spin Cycle
#187 Logical Fallacies
#188 Hybridisation
#191 My Dear Watson
#192 Pronunciation
#196 RGB
#197 Linguini Junction
#198 Headrush
#199 Three
#201 Smoke and Mirrors
#202 Mother Tongue x2
#208 Freak Word x3
#209 Little Pigley Farm x5
#212 Whipsmart Birthday
#213 We Be Rational Pirates! Arrr! x6
#214 Traces
#217 Tower of Cubes x5

I also have lots of Season 2 cards available... Pretty much everything from Wave 1 and 2, red through black. (If you would like me to list them out, just ask!)

I will ship cards to anywhere my post office will! Thanks for your help!!!

I've been folowing Adrian Hon on twitter for a while and I just noticed the folowing tweet...

Tomorrow is Restitution of the Cube, a festival in Perplex City; those who have not forgotten the old ways may receive a gift...

I'm sure its nothing as exciting as a restart of Perplex City but its something...

No high-resolution scanning will be allowed AT ALL - no enlargements, no blow-ups of smaller areas, nada.

Please limit the talk in this forum strictly to card-related issues: puzzles, purchasing, trading, scoring etc. All the storyline/general speculation talk should go into General/Updates.

Card Trading Whitelist

rsegovian@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 08 May 2010 17:30:22 +0000

This thread has risen from this one of avonpaintballs.

So...you've been happily trading for a while, somebody sends you a card that has particularly lovingly wrapped and you want to heap praise upon them. Where can you do this? Right here! Of course, you should continue to rate them through the excellent www.Perplexcitytrades.com , but for when they've made that extra effort. Lovingly Lavish them below.

We want to elevate the good guys, not denigrate the bad ones ;)

PXC Community Puzzle Cards :D

CrocStock@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:41:43 +0000

Me and ChaosSeven (WLP forums) decided to make some PXC reminiscent puzzle cards, we currently have made 3 and plan to make more in the coming days. If you think you know the answer than PM me and I will tell you if it is right or not, but I cant give out any hints ^^. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

EDIT- New versions have been posted as well as a new puzzle!

Solve your Season 2 Wave 2 cards!

rdknight@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:34:13 +0000

You didn't really think we were just going to hand you a list of solutions, did you?

Fret no more, puzzlers! In an excellent show of weekend-working, we've managed to pull together an unofficial, official site where you can check your answers for S2W2.

We can't offer you any support on the cards, as this is an unofficial side project.

You'll find the site here:
http://s2w2.perplexcitycardmanager.co.uk/

Remember, you can share your solved cards from your profile page!

(If you have any serious problems, private message this account. No help will be given out on solutions, of course.)

[UPDATE] Season 2 Wave 2 released!

Sophiecat@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:39:48 +0000

Hi all. In case you're unaware, Wave 2 has finally been released!

I've just received my box which contained 79 of the 86 cards! (The seven remaining cards are all Silvers.)

Season 2 released

Wishi-san@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:35:30 +0000

Hi Guys, not sure how many of you will see this, but season 2 is now released (as per a message on the 'we love puzzles' page, or this link http://www.welovepuzzles.com/jforum/posts/list/824.page), and is currently on sale on Firebox (recently been put up).

You won't be able to enter solves on the site, but they will post the solutions in the future (another 2 or 3 years??).

Thought I would pass this on...
