Ever are we assailed:

Incidentally, the Season One Leaderboard will remain open for the time being, allowing you to earn points from Season One cards and climb the ranks. That said, it's having a brief rest, so for now you'll just be able to view your point score and rank on your profile page.


That, to me, suggests that even though I'm sat on some 2000 points worth of solved cards that I haven't entered yet, I can't use them for at least a week or so.

I think that means that for the time being, they won't have the S1 Leaderboard up anywhere. I don't see anything in that about not being able to use or submit S1 cards, just that there won't be a viewable Top 10 list anywhere for S1...yet...

Probably need to find a good home for it, like in a S1 "Story thus far" part of the site.

The website has been up dated with a puzzle to solve (It seams that they are having tech problems).

Kind Regards,

Any ideas on the new puzzle? I've tried anagramming it with no results.

I've googled some combinations of the words to try to find a relationship between the sentences and I can't come up with anything there either.

Of course, I've been at work all day and it's 4 PM my time, and I'm here for another hour and a half, so that could be causing my brain to shut down.

Let's get crackin!!

Hi,

I have start on the old anagram route, but I don't think I have got it!

"ass down mr, a born hole, as pood jure."

jure means law in Latin?

pood is a measurement of weight?

Anyone else?

I've already tried ROT-xing the sentence, nothing. (Way too coherent for basic cryptography, but that's PXC for you...informational paranoia sets in after a while)

I'm personally guessing for a relation to books and their plot lines. Does anyone have any ideas?

I might as well post the material with the puzzle for history's sake:

Quote:
Swordsmen, honorable, jeopardous. Viscounts soften leopard's fate. Castle's heir hates science; builds doubt counterfeitly.
Aesthetic hymns? Wednesday's answer rhymes "leopard", "djinni"; guaranteeing alignment. Plaid thistles guarantee psychosis.

How about the last bit at the end? Is this part of the puzzle?

I found references to Viscounts and leopards in The Phantom of the Opera. I don't remember the exact placement, but you can probably look it up without too many problems. I wonder if the "Swordsmen, honorable, jeopards" refers to the Three Muskateers. Which puts me in the mindset that maybe we're looking for French literature? Just throwing that out there.

I'm pretty sure I solved the 'swordsmen' etc puzzle (though perhaps not perfectly - had one bit missing.)

Small hint:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The composition (of a sort) of each word is important.

I don't think it's part of the puzzle, being separated by unrelated text about the celebratory party and whatnot.

This could be an example of MC explaining unsolved or confusing puzzles, or at least hinting at how they were intended to be solved. Albeit in a rather cryptic manner...

Current speculation is that this is a reference to Puzzle Card 156: "Going Dotty".

Yea, two seperate things. One is a puzzle, the bit about the cube is MC giving us some of that "here's how we expected you to solve this" behind the curtain look into Season 1.

I sent in a solution, don't know if it was right though, lol.

The last sentence isn't part of the puzzle, I think it's a clue about solving something else in season 1.
