Alright, so I guess you all agree he's a f-ing gamejacker. I put the card back where I found it and left a message for him.

Love the tarot card messages.

For Fall's puzzle, I decoded the message to hex and then got this text:
Nekrd drana ypuja ouin sus!

Hint: BALDEH(Anagram)
EDIT: I know this is only the first step! I just am waiting for someone else to help out...partly because I suck at anagrams.

You didn't think it'd be as simple as decoding text, did you?

Sorry, blah. I gave up when you said this was probably the hardest part. I spent hours on that wiki looking for the template or the warrior's bucket, but only found that intimidating template format encoding stuff. It really seemed like a lot of work, and I'm not much into GuildWars, so I gave up.

Falls, I can't figure out what BALDEH anagrams into. Tried a dozen things as the key to no avail.

Oh and Falls, could you please put in some spaces in your code? It's making this page very hard to read. Don't worry, it will still decode properly. Thanks.

Wonka, well, sorry but even after you've narrowed down to a sentence the clue to a whole part of the puzzle, I can't see it. If it's related to the astral plane and out of body experiences, I have to say I'm completely ignorant about that and I'll plead guilty of being too lazy to research into it.

Alright I think those are the 3 unsolved puzzles. Hit me in the head with a hint, or a hammer, and I'd gladly work on them some more.

In the meantime, check the next post. I thought something for the English majors was needed (I apologize for my horrible poetic sense).

*sparkles*

A rainbow of color and light, I am
light sheets, when in front of a line.

Between tea and sea, I am loved by les femmes
hard and dense with a glimmer --amber: a gem.

Oh, but when having a whole city behind
I will veil any glitter, twinkle, or shine.


Of Life And Men

Find me there, in the middle of a reference work,
amongst all human knowledge in several tomes.

Between men and use, you'll see me decay
shriveled and dry, "no more fun," some would say.

Ellie, me, are thee? Yes, try saying that,
and beware of the big, black-spotted cat.


Hodgepodge

Home-thy? pr-gate d-mine --what's this mish-mash?
A cure? multiply brain stuff... I am the dash!
Danger! also a wacko, killer or freak,
there's two acronym versions as well, I'm in all that.
Now, dear, please don't think I'm a prick,
but I'm proud, yes: though broken, I'm even in Oprah!

Edit: to fix some things.

Ok, well you're over analyzing....
It has nothing to do with the template encoding...
But you do need a template from a PvP build....it'll be obvious when you see the name of it....>_>...

I'll give you a minute...You can go fetch a hammer...or use a wall...and hit ur head.....NOW!

Ok so there ya go...

Edit to add: P.S....as I said everything after "not for long" was a hint..."BUILDing up suspense...." "Kill other players...."

So while researching other ARGs, trying to avoid actual work, I came across some puzzle solving tools. Thought I'd post them here for you guys:

Hey Lad, that's two riddles I've made especially for you. Don't tell me you're still afraid of them... :roll:

I looked through the build library days ago and couldn't find anything that made sense with your puzzle. It's quite possible that I missed something because there are hundreds of them there. I'll go back and check.

It'll stick out when you think about what we are doing right now and some different types of code/programming....

You can drive AND change your radio stations at the same time? I am in awe of your greatness.....

I gave a shot at coding some messages, and I'm curious how you guys are so good at unravelling this stuff. My YouTube account has three videos filled with puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty, and I thought I'd offer them up as excercises and for critique.
