I’d love to, but you’re already a heck of a lot farther along than I am (just by looking at your minimap

Thanks for posting the link, though. It’s a great way to spend a cold rainy Sunday afternoon…

Oh man, I can see myself wasting a lot of time with this.

Seems to run on a pretty wimpy server…

You are so far ahead of us that there’s no way we can help you. Before dinner, we were still clicking on your saved farm square to ascertain directions on the outerlying edges. We are HOOKED.

I can’t get more than a couple of guesses in a row before it gives me a “sever busy” message. Too annoying, because I want to get hooked. :(

It’s fun, no? I’ve paused for a while, so I’m really ready to be caught up.

And I admit, I worked on it quite a bit until I blogged it.

That’s as far as I am. It’s probably not any farther than yours. I cheated off you on a page or two. I must say, you sure do know your poker stars. Sheesh.

Hmm, didn’t like that comment. Let me try again.

This is where I am. Not too far. I cheated off you on a page or two. I must say, you sure do know your poker stars. Sheesh.

My comments keep getting eaten. :( Maybe it doesn’t like the tiny urls I keep leaving? Maybe they’ll all magically appear in an embarrassing comment flood? Who can say?

Sheepish: I googled the poker people. I mean, really. Google is my friend!

Maybe you mentioned poker? I don’t know. I unspammed your comments.

Sheepish: square a4, try google earth/google maps. (Really stupid and annoying.) d2, try ‘noon’. And as stupid as it is, the link between magician and rodeo clown is just clown. The Davids both do levitation.

I’m not sure if it’s better or worse that this is being done in comments.

There are other ways…

Indeed, quite a number of them.

I merged your games into mine, and added a few things… in case folks are interested, http://tinyurl.com/qqkmp

Almost done — but seriously? I have NO IDEA for the meta clues.

By: yami

I can only do it in threes. Also no idea on the meta clues…

By: sheepish

My latest. I think it has everything from yami’s last, plus I added some drug stuff and a bit on the right, I think.

last update for the night. I will sleep on the metaclues.

I loved the game, for the three or four minutes I could play it. But the server seems really dodgy. Every few minutes it gives me a message that too many people are playing and then I can’t put in any new guesses for about 10 minutes, even when I refresh it.

Sigh.

And when I tried to access it from a different computer later in the day I kept getting the message, “Cheating attempt has been logged”, even though I wasn’t cheating (promise!).

By: wolfa

wolfa — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:08:12 +0000

Styley, it does that occasionally. I consider it a forced break and a good thing. I don’t get the cheating attempt issue.

Metapuzzle: I am pretty sure I know the state they want.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND nevermind! I figured out the metapuzzle, though I’m still missing a bunch of squares.

By: wolfa

wolfa — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:08:37 +0000

(You will absolutely need google for the metapuzzle, unless you have way way way too much trivia in your head.)

By: Shelly

PS I think it gives you the “cheating attempt logged” message if you mouse over and accidently click on a box. It thinks you’re trying to decipher the code.
