TASK COMPLETE but we lost :(


As shauna said. "Who's doing the things"

[Galuf]

i could do a FF2 one again, but thats because its easy :lol:

but 5 of us need to do rumours so... ill have to think for that one

[Night Fury]

1 person can do all 5 rumours if they want! They just have to be to 5 separate people, and about 5 different villains! (the character, not the user!)

[Galuf]

Woah guys. this riddle is different it seems.

i think theres multiple lines. guess we can update here.

Line 2. You fell for the bait

Line 4. by 20

Line 7. in the snow. Hypnotising
Line 8. i am a rare blue

[Galuf]

As of now the only clues we have are pretty vague. but... who knows, maybe the villans have gotten close? idk.

if i were to take a guess id say Snow, the enemy on FFVII you can fight.
but we only have 3 right now
anyway. ill keep an eye oot for the rest of em.

[Karifean]

I've thought about if it might be FF VII again, describing the Added Cut materia which is a 'rare blue materia' you find in the 'snow', but the clues are so vague it could be anything else just as well, not to mention we're missing half the riddle at least.

[Formalhaut]

So, how much of the riddle do we have?

[Galuf]

So, how much of the riddle do we have?

lines 4 7 and 8.

ive put it in a post above. but maybe i should make it stand out

[Formalhaut]

I was thinking the enemy 'Snow' as well, from FFVII. She's pretty hypnotising, walks around in the snow, has a complex route to get to her, and has a deep blue colouration.

But honestly? Not enough right now to say for definite.

[Karifean]

So it seems the FF II forum was already taken care of, who feels like starting some rumors?

[Formalhaut]

What sort of rumours should we start spreading?

[Karifean]

Anything you want to, I guess. :jess:

[Galuf]

Exdeaths turtle threats are false! he has 1634 pet turtles

[Pheesh]

Hey guys. What's up in this thread? Talking about the rumours are we? Well I'll leave you to it.

But just before I go, here's a little rumour that I heard. You're really going to want to bring your A game and try and win that Bonus Prize awarded for the funniest rumour. The winner of it will be sure to get an ULTIMATE advantage ;)

[Galuf]

With line 2 here, have our thoughts been edited? im still unsure but sticking with snow

[Shaibana]

alright, alright.. ill spread a rumour.. give me some time to think about it, lol

[Karifean]

I also thought this might be about Black Waltz #1 in FF IX, but I don't know how the rare blue were to fit into that.

[Shauna]

I am updating your OP Galuf to keep everything together!

Any rumours post links to them in here too so we can keep track

[Galuf]

this could be my colourblindness but wasnt there clothes blue?

oops shauna. uh well i tried...

[Shauna]

Don't worry about it, I just like to do organising things. xD

[Shauna]

Also remember on the rumours we need to spread them to 5 seperate members. So make sure you flag up who you VM so we don't do the same as those dumb dumb villains who spread two of their rumours to Freya.

[Formalhaut]

Line 2. You fell for the bait

Line 4. by 20

Line 7. in the snow. Hypnotising
Line 8. i am a rare blue

Line 2: The Snow of FFVII, appears to be a normal human in the field. Talking to her starts the battle.

Line 4: Not a clue.

Line 7: She takes the form of a beautiful woman, and her name is literally Snow.

Line 8: She's sort of blue/purple, so this fits.


Line 2 helps with the Snow (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Snow_(Final_Fantasy_VII)) hypothesis, definitely. But again, I can't say for certain, just yet.

[Shaibana]

alright, i claim Spehiroth.. since i 'know' him the best :3 ill post the result later on

[Formalhaut]

Line 2. You fell for the bait
Line 3. 10 of me will make their magic strong
Line 4. by 20

Line 7. in the snow. Hypnotising
Line 8. i am a rare blue

My god this is confusing. I don't think this is 'Snow' from FFVII. Actually, Sephiroth seems like a good stab. The bait being the black materia, the numbers being the clones, the snow being the Northern Crater, and the hypnosis being his mind altering powers. Also, wasn't he encased in a blue crystal thing?

[Karifean]

Woah guys. this riddle is different it seems.

i think theres multiple lines. guess we can update here.

Line 2. You fell for the bait

Line 4. by 20

Line 7. in the snow. Hypnotising
Line 8. i am a rare blue



Line 3 - 10 of me will make their magic strong



I think this may disprove the Snow theory because this doesn't fit in with the Snow enemy whatsoever, unless there's something I'm just missing.

[Galuf]

nah firion. his crystal was green

[Formalhaut]

You're right. It isn't 'Snow'. Sorry guys for leading us up the garden path with that one. :(

Another new line:

Line 2. You fell for the bait
Line 3. 10 of me will make their magic strong
Line 4. by 20


Line 6. If you are lucky. Even
Line 7. in the snow. Hypnotising
Line 8. i am a rare blue


Okay, new line with Line 6. Thoughts?

[Karifean]

Line 5 - Find me among needles

[Formalhaut]

Oh God this is just infuriating. Night Fury is really ​good at puzzles.

[Karifean]

Line 1

1388

Line 9.

Rising Bile. Paper thin.

[Formalhaut]

I've remembered why I hate puzzles. As soon as the answer is revealed, it'll all be so obvious, and I'll kick myself for not getting it sooner!

[Karifean]

Line 1. 1388

[Galuf]

can we compile this together. im thinking it may not be vii. maybe vi and viii

[Shaibana]

i have made a rumor about sephiroth
http://home.eyesonff.com/showthread.php/166104-Heroes-and-Villains-Storyline-Thread?p=3597661#post3597661

[Formalhaut]

I have not played FFVIII and FFIX, so I'm fairly screwed in this departments.

[Galuf]

IX hmm...

[Shaibana]

I have not played FFVIII and FFIX, so I'm fairly screwed in this departments.
i feel ur pain..

[Karifean]

Well let's see what we *can* deduce. The needles are probably referring to cactuars? So it's a "something" that can be found both at/with cactuars and in the snow?

Edit: I have absolutely no idea what Line 9 is supposed to mean, by the way.

[Formalhaut]

Well let's see what we *can* deduce. The needles are probably referring to cactuars? So it's a "something" that can be found both at/with cactuars and in the snow?

Do Cactuars even enter snowy areas?

[Galuf]

Shai. you have to send a VM to a non participating user for the rumour

Off the top of my head, only Elio(?) in FFX-2 does that. But I don't think that helps any.

[Formalhaut]

Look at them. Mocking us.

[Galuf]

i can do that too :colbert:

[Night Fury]

Time is getting on, Heroes.

[Shaibana]

my rumor:
http://home.eyesonff.com/member.php/2376-Shorty

''hey.. psst..

wanna know what rumours i heard about Sephiroth?

i heard that his hair isnt even real.. it are all extensions.. and that he is actually a ginger..
ill bet he even uses make-up to cover his freckles''

[Formalhaut]

I don't even know where to begin with this one.

[Galuf]

talk what you, Ultimecia

[Formalhaut]

Does it have anything to do with summons, or espers, in any of the games? I'm focusing on the '10 of' line. Whatever this is, there's more than one.

[Shauna]

10 of me will make your magic strong by 20

uhh customisation on FFX? What item would you use to customise weapons to +20 strenght? Is this even a thing?

[Galuf]

20. is also used. im clueless. i thought i was smart to begin this one:lol::lol:

[Night Fury]

Well you can have 1 of them, but you can use 10 of them to make something else.


;)

[Formalhaut]

10 of me will make your magic strong by 20

uhh customisation on FFX? What item would you use to customise weapons to +20 strenght? Is this even a thing?

So it could be a material then? Interesting theory.

[Karifean]

10 of me will make your magic strong by 20

uhh customisation on FFX? What item would you use to customise weapons to +20 strenght? Is this even a thing?

4 Supreme Gems, unfortunately.

But maybe refining in FFVIII?

[Karifean]

I'VE GOT IT!

It's gotta be the card of that zombie president thing in FF VIII!

Edit: Numbers on it are 1,3,8,8
It can be gotten by carding Cactuars or Geiras
10 refine into an item that teaches Magic +20%

Anyone know the actual English name of that thing? I can only see the German name -.-

Gerogero, that's what it was.

[Night Fury]

Round of applause to Karifean!!!

[Galuf]

only you couldve guessed that :lol:

well doon

[Pheesh]

Wow, excellent work!

[Shaibana]

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/c/c4/HarryPotter-Snape-Clapping.gif/revision/latest?cb=20120705231254

[Shauna]

whoop whoop!

Nicely done. :D

[Night Fury]

....You were only 30 minutes behind the Villains on that!

[Karifean]

(long exhale)

Nice riddle! I don't think I've ever cross-referenced my network of FF information resources this much, this quickly, and on an internet connection this laggy.

[Shauna]

Eh, you win some, you lose some.

[Formalhaut]

Whaaaat, we lost? Damn. Still, very impressive work, Karifean. That riddle, to use a phrase I never use, sucked balls.

[Pheesh]

http://i.imgur.com/mmsowAM.gif

[Formalhaut]

A very clever riddle though. You guys have a knack for crafting devilish riddles. Ah well. Having never played FFVIII, I would never have got it anyway. :p

[Shaibana]

dont forget to register my rumor :3
i even got a respons hihihih

[Pheesh]

Tbf. I had no idea what it was when she showed me either.

[Karifean]

Man now I wish I'd have talked Ultima Shadow into joining this competition. He'd have nailed that riddle. :jess:

Out of curiosity, at least if I may know, who came up with the answer on the villain team?

[Night Fury]

It was Ultros!

He pretty much had it snagged when he guessed the Fake President was the reference in the line 'you fell for the bait'

[Galuf]

BERNKASTEL!!! SHE SO EVIL!

but rydia is nice :)

[Formalhaut]

Man now I wish I'd have talked Ultima Shadow into joining this competition. He'd have nailed that riddle. :jess:

Out of curiosity, at least if I may know, who came up with the answer on the villain team?

I'm rather curious as well. I'd love to know what their thought patterns were like.

Ours were basically Snow ------------------> Sephiroth ----> No smurfing clue ----> materials? --> refining!! -> the answer

[Shauna]

I threw up a rumour to Zanmato about Jecht!

http://home.eyesonff.com/converse.php?u=40749&u2=15366

[Galuf]

tbf. snow was a good answer. if wrong..

[Karifean]

Thankfully, even though we lost, there's a lesson I can take away from this.













I learned that Formy hasn't played Final Fantasy VIII yet. You need to get on that.

[Galuf]

or IX!? get on them both!

[Karifean]

Can I do a rumor?

Sure, go right ahead.

[Shauna]

We need another three so get the rumour mill started!

[Shauna]

Go for it!

[Shauna]

Guess what I have done RIGHT NOW

[Night Fury]

Can you all be sweeties and quote post your rumours in the storyline thread as well please? :D

[Shauna]

Matt is posting to Midgar Mist about Caius.

If you've got another one go for it!
