Game: Guess the hidden code

[Macros the Black]

What if I bring every letter of the alphabet?

[Lord Lakely]

The code is "creatures that are also RT ranks" ?

Wow, genius

[Asheera]

I bring a Ninja

[Borsuc]

I bring a Bat

The code must start with the next letter of the alphabet compared to the previous poster's first letter in the name?

[Zamolxis]

The code is "creatures that are also RT ranks" ?

Wow, genius

Yes. Congrats Kristo - you are the first one to think out of the "Heroes: The Game" box.

However, figuring that out is only 50% of the answer. Now you only know where to look for the code, not the code itself. After all, there's a reason why Borsuc couldn't get in when he brought a Conscript.

Here's where we stand:

• Passed the walls, castle gate, VIP room, royal quarters, spent last night in queen's chamber:
  > Zamolxis who brought Genie, Dragon, Pixie, Nightmare & Devil
• Good presents, bad timing:
  > Conscript (Borsuc)
  > Titan (ThunderTitan - who also got a headache for trying to think)
• Garden decorations:
  > Nomad, Phoenix (Kristo)
  > Ghost, Gold Golem, the alphabet (Macros)
  > Sprite, Imp, Griffin, Efreet (Koni)
  > Angel, Mage, Hydra, Gargoyle, Unicorn, Ninja (Asheera)
  > Faerie Dragon, Faerie, ThunderTitan, Kalah (Lord Lakely)
  > Harpy, Panda Bear (SWST)
  > Aladdin (Milla)
  > Bat (Borsuc)

Kristo has now showed you the path out of the box - and perhaps you should all - though I'm surprised it took so long (and the reason I thought TT might figure this out, is the fact that IIRC he used to be among the most obsessed with RT rankings at some point :p) However there's still a code to be deciphered, so as much as some of you might wish so, this is not over yet.

[Lord Lakely]

The first letter of the RT ranking has to come after (in alphabetical order) the first letter of the Previous guess?

[Zamolxis]

The answer is in a way more simple than that. What might make it difficult, is perhaps the fact that I tried to avoid as much as possible copying any of the previous codes. That's why I insisted so much on the out-of-the-box thinking. So things like starting with the 1st/2nd/... letter etc, will not be of much help.

[Asheera]

I bring a Succubus

[Lord Lakely]

I bring a Migrating Coconut.

[Pitsu]

[*]Good presents, bad timing:

Talking of timing shouldn't i be trying with for instance nightmare again? Though as it already passed can it be used for a second time?

[Zamolxis]

Pitsu is onto something. Indeed. Nobody said that if I brought a Nightmare, others can't bring another as well.

Asheera was close, Lord Lakely far (way far), but it's Pitsu who can go in.

[Lord Lakely]

The Ranking has to be connected with the Avatar of the Previous poster?

[Koni]

I now bring a Scout (don't know why, but it is close to Pixie)

[Asheera]

Ok I get it. The creature we bring should be the same tier as the above poster's rank creature (and upgraded counts as well - that means when it's upgraded you have to bring an upgrade as well, of the same tier)

Passed the walls, castle gate, VIP room, royal quarters, spent last night in queen's chamber:

Ahem, I'm just wondering how hot is the queen?

EDIT: Anyway I don't quite understand Asheera's code, but I'm guessing that the code are RT ranks that the poster has yet to achieved.

[Pitsu]

I would say the code is previous poster rank -1. In other words the rank that the previous poster had right before he/she got his/her current rank. Special rankings (pi, migrating coconuts..) excluded. Dragon goes before RT hero and possibly knight and it is better not to post after a moderator :p.

[ThunderTitan]

> Titan (ThunderTitan - who also got a headache for trying to think)

Or alternatively just didn't try at all...

(and the reason I thought TT might figure this out, is the fact that IIRC he used to be among the most obsessed with RT rankings at some point :p)

you mistake ability for obsession...

[Zamolxis]

I would say the code is previous poster rank -1. In other words the rank that the previous poster had right before he/she got his/her current rank. Special rankings (pi, migrating coconuts..) excluded. Dragon goes before RT hero and possibly knight and it is better not to post after a moderator :p.

Correct! It's the previous rank of the previous poster, special ranks (knight/mod/etc included) being disregarded.

Pitsu may start the next round!

This time I take bulls with me and the doorkeepers have no objections.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Wow, beautifully done
