ARG: NoahBoddy-Responses

PLEASE humor me

Geez... I've been lookin' at the old NB site, and I could see that there prob had been the 14 clues for a long time, but thank you all SO much.

I think I went over the proverbial edge, for an extended stay in Oz. *L* May be getting my feet back on terra firma finally. I always knew I had an over-active imagination, but.....!!!

Just lead me to my very own padded cell *LOL*

I had begun to see too many parallels with my own life and the game. Several of the clues could have been interpreted as the names of my sisters and friends and husband, and then, like Selene, I have miraculously survived a cancer against all the odds, and I dabble with tarot and astro. Spooked me.

When I left the game, all sorts of weird stuff started happening IRL....freaky stuff in my email acct...stuff connected to some the game appeared on my computer at boot up and in my documents in Word (still unexplained), or at my doorstep, or in my shopping cart...things disappeared from my house, some of which were found placed on my desk mysteriously....and I began having a LOT of ,well, psychic stuff (not the norm for me, I wanna tell ya)!

So yes, I've been freaked and bizarre for a while! Ack! Maybe things will return to what used to pass for normal. I have high hopes!

Thanks again... going to fix a nice cuppa tea,
pifi :? :)

p.s. I think there were 14 weekly clues and 6 parts to the final solve, which you had to use the weekly clues to solve to final puzzle. I think that's how it was done anyway.

Is it really who I think it is?

*L* Thanks to vpisteve, muralartist, & Sunny for replying!

#$%^& Yahoo won't let me in to the msg boards, and I am too lazy to open a new account :shock:

All I need to know really, is if there were 6 or 14 clues when last you played.

I fear my OCD won't let me NOT ask, and my paranoia won't let me do more than ask at this point... hell, it took me THIS long just to show my face around here again! :?

After a long absence (9 mos.) I finally revisited ARG to see what I'd missed re: NB and to see what solve you all found......

BUT, were there only 6 clues? Because now there are 14 of them at NB.com now. Are they new, or been there all along?

Been going nuts... long story, will spare you the details. Looking for some peace of mind. Sounds trivial, but is important to me to know.

thanx
pifi :oops:

I don't think there are many folks here who saw NoahBoddy through to the end.

Anyone? Bueller??

AND THE WINNERS ARE!!!!!!!!!!

I would just liker to say great job! I didn't stick with it after all the breaks. I never would have guessed that it was a BIG Clue game from the stuff I saw in the beginning.

I think Thea is a little shocked about having 2 groups submit the answers with so many people in those groups. (I still get email). Hmmmm. Can't wait to see what your prizes are :shock:

Again, congrats :D

AND THE WINNERS ARE!!!!!!!!!!

And now.... The finale...

Final Puzzle will post 4/22/03, 5 PM PST.

Group or individual solves should be sent to noah_boddy@y... and
thea@n... (for reason of timestamp and header comparison).
Please clearly include who was involved in the solve. The prizes will
not be as substantial as originally planned, but will be generous
enough to recognize hard work and dilligent group or individual
effort. If you have been working in a group throughout, I would
rather the puzzle solve be presented as such, rather than several
separate entries (to give more individuals a chance to win). Of
course, I have no way of preventing separate entries for group work,
but please know that prizes will be customized to be sutible for
group submissions (so everyone on a group will receive something).

Once an entry is determined to be a winning entry, I will ask for
appropriate contact/shipping info for prizes. Don't worry about
including such information in your initial submissions.

Weekly clues will be revealed as scheduled regardless of whether the
sufficient number of winning entries have been received.

Responses will be sent out as to whether attempts are correct or
incorrect once a day (as I cannot monitor those accounts consistantly
during the day). No hints will be given in these responses, only an
answer in the affirmative or negative.

If additional hints are to be revealed, their revelation will be
scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

Feel free to discuss the puzzle and solutions in your community as
always.

If there are any questions, or if any clarifications are needed in
regards to rules, please let me know. I will try to answer questions
and concerns before the puzzle goes up.

And last but not least... Thank you!

Thea

The final puzzle is due then.

Then, at the suggestion of someone brilliant (and whom you all know and adore), she'll pass out the solutions to earlier clues a few each day until there are winners.

Who is NoahBoddy? Jeez, been so long, I'm not sure I remember anymore...

New Update for what it is worth...

Greetings All,

Wow, I've gotten even more responses about having the game finale on
Good Friday then on Passover. My sincere apologies of I have offended
anyone with my complete lack of orientation and knowledge in regards
to the religious and secular holidays.

Here's the deal, and perhaps I should have been clearer when I first
announced this)...

The finale is going to be:

A presentation and explanation of what you were supposed to conclude
with each hint, and what those hints were to come together as for the
weekly clue. I will let you know what you have missed if you have
missed anything that week.

A final puzzle based off of the weekly clues that we have had.

***

Here is the predicament, and let me know if you have suggestions:

Many have made time, and adjusted schedules, to be around for the
conclusion. First, my apologies for the rescheduling. Second, my
apologies for overlapping holidays. Rescheduling another time will
likely anger or upset those who have changed their schedule a second
time. Not rescheduling would be ignoring those who have politely and
heartfeltly requested that this not take place on a holiday that they
observe.

I want you to be able to be in your groups and enjoy the community
that we built during this journey. If this will not be possible, I
would rather move it off of a holiday and to a time that is most
accessible for you all. I want you to be able to work on the final
puzzle, and not feel cheated due to your faith an holiday
observations.

Here is my proposition, and I want to hear comments/suggestions about
it on this forum.

Howabout the solutions/clues get posted as currently scheduled. This
way, you all should have some time to review at your leisure. You can
call or email your groups, provide the proverbial "I told you so!"
when appropriate, etc. I can then reschedule the final puzzle to a
more appropriate time for all of you next week. I want to provide
something for the fastest 6 answers that I receive, although they are
not going to be the same caliber of prizes that were initally planned
for the full game. As that does create competition, I want to know
what those of you who have hung on would prefer.

Would you prefer I keep the hint solves/clues on friday, or move
those to another day as well?

Would you prefer that no prizes be given considering all the chaos
that has already been encountered with this game, and the scheduling
fiasco.

Would you prefer day, evening, or weekend to receive the final
puzzle?

Thanks to all of you who have remained supportive.

I really really really want to know what you think.

Thea

I won't post any new answers, etc. on Friday. It is obvious that this
would be too inconvenient for too many who have worked really hard on
this. (I could just hear the envelope ripping open... And the
Cultural Insensitivity Award goes to... Thea!!) :)

We can do this next week, I haven't seen anyone get too about me
pushing it back again, and I didn't want to leave you all hanging
wondering tomorrow.

Let me check with any potential weirdness with my schedule tomorrow
to make sure that I can plan a set time, and then I'll post it, and
dangit, this time, it will be the finale!

Thanks everyone for your opinion. If there is a day next week that
does not work for some of you, or for full groups of you who are
still hanging on, please let me know before tomorrow night. :)
