I say SciAhly when referring to this site, but I say SO (Ess Oh) or Science OHlympiad when referring to the competition (sometimes that OH becomes a schwa when talking about the competition).

[TheCrazyChemist]

SciOhly for sure. I refer to this website as the forums, and sometimes I refer to the competition as Science Olympiad, but I will never say "SciAhly". Also MMM, you are def not a failed sassy, your game was actually good.

Thanks, TCC! (I tried)


I didn't WIN though, so I technically failed...

There we go, unsuccessful. That's a little bit nicer to myself.

I've only seen a few games where the Sassy won at all so don't be too hard on yourself

The sassy isn't supposed to win imo.

I think there's fun in seeing others catch on to your cryptic clues. And winning means keeping a game up for a long time...

Right, it was so satisfying actually seeing people retrace my steps to solve the clue, and it was really boring when people just went "ehhh, no clue what to do" and moved on. Like I mentioned in my solutions post, I was going to do a radical change in a couple of clues since it was getting a little repetitive, but that was just to make things fun–and, if I won, I won. People can WIN with 10 kills easy if they make it so obscure that no one has any hope of following the thought process. I wanted to make my game challenging, with a couple of freebies, and I wanted to have a good mix of riddles and ciphers–trying to hit a perfect balance between too easy that no one cares, and too hard that no one wants to try.
