Subject: Mailsack Challenge/Puzzle Idea

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

The Button

Instead of having Bungie Employees create the challenges that go into the Mailsack, how about the community has a contest on who can create the best challenge/puzzle? Hold the contest over the course of a week or however long. Then let the community choose the one it likes best after the week is over with. Instead of the community solving the challenge/puzzle let the Employees solve it. It will give us a little spin on the weekly Mailsack.

Instead of awarding the solver, award the person who came up with the winning puzzle or award them both.


Maybe even the person who came up with the idea? ;p

I already made one and messaged DeeJ about it. He hasn't responded but he has been online. I'm assuming it's because he hates my Extra Z.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

But yeah, I'm definitely in favor of having a member making the puzzle now and again, just not every time. We should definitely have some pity on DeeJ's inbox.

One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

I thought of this and so did dmg04 in my reverse Mailsack thread.

We make a challenge, bungie try's to solve it, and if they do, the community either posts, or sends them a reward. Whatever it may be

You don't tell anyone because you don't want anyone to beat your puzzle. Also, you can't beat your own puzzle. Where's the problem?

Cool idea, the only problem I can see with this is people cheating but that's about it.

the Death, won by one point... Assembly hasn't changed.

urk: "This is a bad idea."
DeeJ: "Hold still..."

I like the idea but lets put a spin that will work for everyone.

Do the reverse mailsack. And people will submit fully finished puzzles via a group DeeJ manages (that means don't go make one you daft fools, you'll mess things up).

Then the regular crew will pick a certain number of those puzzles and will be given one week till the next mail sack to finish. The list of those selected would be put into the previous mailsack or a thread, and the user would need to be moderately active so DeeJ could PM them during the week to see if the answer is right.

The last puzzle standing that the crew couldn't figure out would be the winner, and the guy who created it would get a prize (and possibly an ass kicking).

If more then one puzzle was left over, then the community would get a shot at it. Then whoever figured it out would get a prize, along with the person who made it.

And what if there are 4 they couldn't solve? Well then 4 people would get swag, and one picked by the crew to be the hardest would be sent out to the community.


Any questions?

Lets compile a random assortment of letters into a scrabbled box with some sort of secret message.There is no pattern.There is no clues.There is however a saying that only we know.

Read the replies dude. I already said all the alts are voting for me, so nobody else will be cheating. So cheating is a nonissue.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I had posted an idea in the Mail Sack challenge thread yesterday about making a riddle to the Employee(s) :)

What's my prize?

Also, still support this idea.

You'd be surprised what shady things people will do for some swag.
