Ragequit posted:PerplexCity? I collected a fair amount of the cards and would have one in my office each week with mini prizes for people who could solve them. It was a lot of fun. Still have a huge stack of cards somewhere. I hope they make another season at some point. no, there weren't any cards or physical items. It just wasn't online only because sometimes you needed to use resources you couldn't easily find online to solve the puzzles. I remember one puzzle where the answer was to use a simulation of a corded phone to dial a number that made the key press tones sound out the opening notes of Mary Had A Little Lamb.

I tried it again, with fresh eyes this morning - and realized I messed up in a minor (and stupid) way. I got it, and spent all morning shaking my head at the solution. Well done.

Scruffpuff posted:The E.L.E. is a real event, but it is also an unnecessary one. CIG was already basically Nordberg from the Naked Gun, stumbling from one damaging incident into another. Their demise was just a matter of time - the so-called "E.L.E." is just gasoline on a flame at this point.

Well that sounds pretty rad. Sounds like you would definitely be interested in PerplexCity though, so check that out if you haven't already.

Lladre posted:I vote this as well. G0RF: there's an early consensus and you're the front runner. Can you maybe start working on a first post to be ready to go when Derek posts "I am the ultimate puppet master!" on page 3000 and the mods shut this thing down? I hope you'll accept the nomination. You're the Goon Hero we need now.

See that's the thing when you actually make something concrete: some people will like it, and others will hate it. This is why the first rule of game development is promising everything, and delivering nothing.
