The only reason it got solved there was because I repeatedly told you guys the hint in the main chat and no one listened. Later that day, Minty and I were like "lets solve this thing" in the main chat. No one chimed in. Everyone was rambling off topic. So we had to move it to the private room to get the work done.Killthesmiley wrote: it's not that our feelings are hurt, it's the fact that obviously, some puzzle solving went on there. Because, i was there in the IRC the whole daniel/tachyon puzzle and that conversation that sphinx posted, didn't happen in the IRC.
i'm going to say that, that statement isn't 100% truth. I understand that a few people were going off topic, the the majority of the people there were actively trying to solve the puzzle. So that specific statement is not 100% accurate.
And I remember you uys saying that, and a whole bunch of us, chimmed in, saying alright lets go. we tried our hardest. But as the chat log said, we weren't given as much clues as you were. we didn't know it was on the wiki page. we didn't know where the look. We knew it had to do with Nancy Drew. So we tried everything. We tried names of her boyfriends, her name. We tried ghost writers names.
Now we know where the answer actually came from and that is the issue at hand.
But what we are discussing is the fact that during a puzzle, the puzzle solve was to stay in the designated area that you and your group of friends have told us ove rand over again to keep puzzle solve in. And some of us did. Seeing the log, I noticed there were operators on. So why didn't they use their position and control the situation, instead of breaking your own set rule.
