Overall, i really liked this game. Nice and short, and with enough thinking to be enjoyable.Obviously. Actually, the whole meadow and everything would make me think it was you, but I get your point. Nice game.zyzzyva98 wrote: Let's see, there are three or four cows, the sky is blue and there is one cloud there, so it's a fair day, two of the mountains appear to be snow-capped, this picture was taken on March 3rd, the photographer was named John Doe, and it was taken for his aunt's 63rd birthday.

I slightly disagree- it is possible to do ciphers and images as good clues, just when they're ORIGINAL and MAKE SENSE. There are a few really good picture clues out there (re:#44) and there are a few good ciphers (re:#49) It is in fact possible to have really awesome clues. Personaly, I perfer these types of clues to the more abstract words that are more of implying the victim than plainly pointed towards them.zyzzyva98 wrote: I tried to make a few small statements about the game as well- first of all, what's the deal with the quoting of the clue?Second, I've gotten quite annoyed with some of the clues people are coming out with:Clue #2 wrote:^See this? This isn't grammatically correct. Stop it.

There are too many ciphers and image clues where you're thinking, what? What am I supposed to be doing? So this round, I just made all my clues words- poetry, in fact. You don't need ciphers or images to make good clues, and I hope I made that clear.
Btw, not cool :pWell if thats a stab at me, then fair enough. But only 2 of my clues were like that, and of course not nearly that bad.zyzzyva98 wrote: Second, I've gotten quite annoyed with some of the clues people are coming out with:

Yep, he tends to do that.I was rather pleased that no one was coming close to getting this clue- and then I started talking to IdahoSciGuy on chat and he shredded it in about two minutes.

/me looks back at his first clue of round #60
Just like the Fiddler on the Roof- TRADITION! (We don't dislike you that much, paleonaps, it's just become somewhat of a tradition, if you haven't noticed)paleonaps wrote:Why was I your first target?
That's true. Throwing a picture up there and having it make sense in your head- but no one else's- is NOT a good clue. I've been guilty of this myself.robodude wrote:I slightly disagree- it is possible to do ciphers and images as good clues, just when they're ORIGINAL and MAKE SENSE.
That's not self-promotion AT ALL!robodude wrote:there are a few good ciphers (re:#49)

All poetry is amazing. But I'm glad you think mine was, thanks!trajectoryroxs wrote:I mean Z and his grammar police and how amazing the poetry was
Not a stab at you, RandomPerson, a stab at a trend that I don't like.RandomPerson52 wrote:Well if thats a stab at me, then fair enough. But only 2 of my clues were like that, and of course not nearly that bad.
When your clue is getting ripped apart... it goes by fast.IdahoSciGuy wrote:Hey now, i didn't solve it THAT fast.......It was at least 10 minutes. Also a lucky guess, remember that.
