 		Hey guys, you are ripping though this it looks like. You guys are on what 33? Well just wanted to know what you guys think so far. You guys are the pros when it comes to puzzle trails so is this any good? To easy? To Hard? Fun? What do you think?

As a hardcore gamer for the past couple of decades, I think it's been pretty good (the only reason I could call it "mostly easy" is because of my strong knowledge of the subject), but everyone seriously needs a hint on Level 33 judging by the crowd over on GameFAQs.

jamesi: Think about the type of weapons that she uses.

Thanks dude. Now, on to the equally confusing 29.

Wow. I must be so off track on this puzzle. Is it a rebus of some sort? Is there a connecting theme with the pictures? Maybe it's a game I never played...

Connecting theme, but you'd only see the connection if you played the game. It's an NES game about a child and his amorphous friend.

Rockin, thanks.

edit: Yay, now I'm caught up to you, Rob.

 		Holy crap, I give up for the night. I'm on level 36 39, and there is a praying mantis, and I'm tired.

Rob, it's not 25. It's 2 5.

Meh. I figured that part out, but I didn't come up with the acronym until just now because I wasn't sure if I was right (too many possibilities). Thanks for the help.

 		Puzzle solved. I'll post all the solutions in a few hours or whenever the Hall of Fame gets filled up, whichever comes first.

 		Not bad, Unfiction comes in at a strong 2nd about 2 hours behind gamefaqs. I had you guys picked to win. It was a close battle. Good job. For 2nd place Rob has won 25,000 Kingdom of Loathing meat. I know it is a crapy prize but hey, it's a prize.

Not going to up date the HOF right away to keep the other teams intrested. Nice work.

So what did you think? To Hard? To easy? What did you like? Dislike? Favorite level? These coments are going to be used in the comembritive (yeah it's spelled reallt wrong) book I am making, and help me with the next one if I chose to make one.

Keep it, I don't play KoL. Besides, I looked at the GameFAQs thread quite a bit towards the end. In my defense, though, I only looked for the answer when I didn't know enough information (e.g. Level 35; I hate fighting games) or didn't want to spend the amount of time I would need to solve it (e.g. Level 48), and I did go through all of the levels instead of skipping to the last one. Besides, it's their fault for not being as paranoid as we are. :P

It was about right difficulty-wise. You'd need to know a lot about video games and web-puzzles to do well, which is the point. Some of the levels didn't give clear enough clues, like Level 27, but I liked how some other levels went back to things introduced in earlier levels (including the one that stumped everyone, Level 33). My favorite level was probably 29, because it had some subtle-yet-clear clues and it was really clever. Runner-up goes to Level 37 for similar reasons.

 		Just an FYI, I updated the Hall of Fame.

Edit: No really it is now.
