It's my method of extending the amount of time I have to work on it before people get to it. People that played notFFRon will have a more likely chance of getting to it.

What are you stuck on?

**rushyrulz** · 04-25-2011, 02:57 PM

I thought it would be that easy.

**bmah** · 04-25-2011, 02:59 PM

(out of the loop, yet again...)

Yeah, that's what I'm not getting lol.

What's meant by "It's my method of extending the amount of time I have to work on it before people get to it. People that played notFFRon will have a more likely chance of getting to it." ?

What is the site about anyhow? That's what I don't get. There's a lack of description.

Hmmm, I guess it's not that easy....

**Velocity** · 04-25-2011, 04:30 PM

The idea's employed into the riddle were part of the Portal 2 ARG.

**emulord** · 04-25-2011, 04:37 PM

Ugh please don't have these be for tokens. Internet hunting isnt really fun.

**qqwref** · 04-25-2011, 04:41 PM

Okay, but is it solvable if I haven't been following the Portal 2 stuff? (Which I haven't.)

Completely.

Stuck at the second page. ><

supermousie · 04-25-2011, 08:30 PM

I seriously don't get what's up with blackweb... I suppose you type in things and that takes you to the next page, and consequently the next puzzle? Clever. *slow clap*

justin_ator · 04-25-2011, 11:04 PM

I'm not a huge fan of things like NotFFRon and from what I can tell BlackWeb, I don't have the patience. I made it to like level 25 or 26 on NotFFRon, and I got bored with it. I'd hope that BlackWeb won't be a legitimate must for anything FFR related, seeing as the focus of this game is arrow smashing. It just seems a little bit off-topic, if you will, to make tokens or achievements for being clever and tech savvy. Not much to do with the actual game..

**qqwref** · 04-25-2011, 11:19 PM

Well, if there are going to be tokens for something like notFFRon, I'd prefer that:
- the three support tokens are unlocked with this, and MAYBE vrofl at the end (but only if the FFR admins are not ever planning to do official tournaments again - IMO all tokens should be unlockable, otherwise it turns into "I'm in the awesome club and you're not")
- it's maintained as a serious FFR project, with tokens given out as planned
- more than one person is in charge of the riddles, preferably at least 3 people, so that we don't keep crazy obscure riddles because someone thinks it's not hard
- it's accessible enough that someone who hasn't done these riddles before could theoretically solve it (i.e. shouldn't require already knowing what base64 etc. looks like)

justin_ator · 04-25-2011, 11:28 PM

I realize that it would be theoretically solvable to people with no knowledge of complex computer or other technical skills, but I just don't entirely agree with the concept of giving out FFR rewards for things pretty much unrelated to FFR and the real point of the game.

Edit:
I realize that these make easy rewards for that, but for the people that are only interested in playing FFR, it doesn't really appeal to have to go through hours of riddles and thinking and searching just to unlock another song to play. And to those of us that like to pursue gathering all the songs, etc., it only makes it that much more annoying. If they are used as rewards, you won't hear me complaining about it or anything, I just don't really agree with it.
