I am VERY lost on 60a. I was trying to follow tel's hints (which were very helpful by the way), but after a while, he stopped posting the real answer, so now I'm confused and I don't know what I'm doing. (actually I was stuck on the What Do We Have In Common one, but I'm still confused about that too. I'm just confused all around, so there.

OK, seriously now. If you have nothing useful to say, why bother at all.

stop being childish and waste your time elsewhere.

You can search t'll Lulla Bell comes home.....you won't find the answer on Google.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
consider the Index page of the CWOT forum (www.cleverwasteoftime.com/forum/) to be home. Then look at the hint in the source "farthest from A" (or something along those lines) and convert the alphabet to numbers. If you go to the right place you should find someone interetsing there

I hoipe this helps

Well, not really. I understood that it had to be local, but converting "farthest from A" to numbers just yields a string of numbers, or, if taken literally, just Z (26) or D (4), neither of which yields anything.

I have been to every page on cwot and see nothing about anything to do with this level.

I bet those are the mods at CWOT, trying to block off all attempts of people who are not being cryptic for a change. Laughing
I think they are evil.

LOL One of our players told me about this, so I had to come check. I assure you, if anyone from the CWoT team posts anywhere we do not hide our identities. We do monitor all forums with our game in them, even the non english forums. We do take note of those posting spoilers. Aside from thinking they are awfully pathetic we don't much care. Certainly not enough to play silly games with them. Cryptic is part of the game. Whining about it accomplishes nothing. It makes no difference to us whether you play or not, so I suggest you go play something else if you can't handle it. Now, you children can feel free to rip me apart. Most likely I won't be back to see it anyway. We are too busy for bullshit like this. Wink

We don't tend to rip people apart unless there's a good reason for it (and then the vulva puppets really come into play Twisted Evil ). You certainly don't deserve it. The trail that you guys made is absolutely amazing, and, I have to say, exceedingly tough. Mr. Green I'm hoping that your ARG comes up to the same standards that this trail has. If it does, then we're all in for a real treat.

The reason spoilers are posted here is because we're more of a collaborative forum. If people are stuck, or completely lost, we'll help them out. If that involves giving them the answer to move on to the next page then so be it. Hey, if us ARGers didn't do that, The Beast would've never gotten solved (not to mention the other games such as ILB, Art of the Heist, ProjectGateway et al).

Wow.

These people are doing an ARG, you say, Atrophied?

Way to insult your potential player base, there, genius. Perhaps you don't like people whining. Join the club. Whiny people, lazy people, obnoxious people -- they all annoy me. But get used to it, because if you run an ARG, you're going to have to deal with whiny players, and stupid players, and annoying players, and trolls, and so on. (Along with the brilliant players, the salt-of-the-earth players, the restore-your-faith-in-humanity players, and so on. Wink )

If you don't treat your players with professionalism, grace, and patience, however, you're going to lose the good ones and be stuck with the ones with no self-respect (i.e. precisely the type that are irritating you now).

@CoyoteUgly
There is another type of player: the ones who are not to be taken seriously Wink

But I understand if you get confused within all the hostility brought up by some trolls like "no" and - I forget the first one - who post totally out of context and with no intention of being helpful or reasonable (well, uh, that's the definition of a troll...).

Well, probably you've just shown your true colors and I should stop playing right now, but for this time I'll just assume you are the type of player, err...I mean creator I was first talking about.

If you don't read it I'll just PM you later when I'm really pissed. Laughing

Maybe I'm reading this all wrong, but...

Now, that sounds like someone who cares. A lot. However...

But, thats contradictory! You do care. And you are playing silly games.

So, is there an Unimportant on your team? If you don't hide your identities, why would you post as guest Uninvited, and then as guest CoyoteUgly?

As am I. Have a nice day!

Hey guys, do you know the difference between hinting/helping and giving the actual answer? Seems not.
Coyote and the CWoT team are saying this. You are encouraged to teamwork, they just HATE the cheat, and this is the most cheating site i've ever seen for this game. Thanks god i didn't ever need to use your spoilers otherwise i would have lost all the fun. Don't understand how funny could it be to go on with this game simply waiting for someone to post the right html.

BTW, for the smarty who posted "blah blah, don't treat us like that, blah blah, we won't play your game, blah blah, this isn't the way to treat players". Do you really think they CARE about you cheaters? First of all they hate you, so it won't be a pain not having you. Second, they won't get a penny from the game, so it's not a matter of "quantity better than quality". Third: you say without you it will be a game played just by a bunch of useless people? Ohohoh, how comes that there are 2 players that ended the game basically in the same moment the level were posted? How come that now there are -in just a month or little more- already more than 10 players who passed all 100 levels WITHOUT using your loser spoilers?

Listen to someone who did it all by himself (with helps, of course, but never more than HINTS): we don't need you. AND: do you think you are the one and only forum playing ARGs? ahahahah.

David

ps. for the one that pointed out the "contradictions": if she told you she posts with her real name, where the hell did you gained that certainty that NO was her? With all the probabilities it was another disgruntled player that dislike your behaviour.

Good bye. Don't waste your time replying to this post with justifications because you have no excuses. Dicet.

It would be because the admins of this board have the lovely ability of checking every post's IP address.

And if you stuck around here longer before jumping to your conclusions, you'd find that this board is not filled with cheaters, but with a 7000 member strong community of problem solvers. I guarantee that no where else on the web will you find a group that will so easily solve, and happily help others solve, than you will here.

If you have no interest in contributing to this community, then please stay away. Posts such as yours have absoutely nothing beneficial to offer us but yet another reason to love UF over every other forum on the web.

Thanks, have a nice day, and please, stop posting if all you're going to do is point out your supposed superiority (read: disgusting, unfounded egotism).

*snort*

I was speaking as an Unfiction regular, who wandered into this thread and discovered some unprofessional behavior by the CWOT people.

I am not even playing it, so I fail to see how I can be a "cheater."

My interest, here, is to protect members of my community from abusive attitudes, whether they're from trolls like Unimportant or arrogant visitors, like the CWOT woman.
