Merry Christmas GBAtemp!

[BoxShot]

Technically even googling that will get you blacklisted. I did the same after I was finished, and now I'm scheduled for a server-wide ban tomorrow. I cannot wait. I'll be joining PharaohsVizier after all.

After speaking with staff, I want to know how this bull list generated. It makes no sense. Privacy invasion much?

That's just retarded.

 

[Pyrmon]

Hey they changed the message on the last clue! It says that, along with a server-wide ban, your personal information is going to be put on the site for everyone to see if you cheated! Isn't that a little... excessive?

 

[Arras]

It does say that 0.o

 

[Deleted_171835]

I just googled a bit and found said site, am I gonna get banned tomorrow? AFTER Tempmas is over? And just how do they monitor your history for what you google? And who is PharaohsVizier and what did he do?

...
That's not fair.
I entered before I saw the site. The only reason I searched for the site was because of Bortz's post.
To have my personal info posted on GBAtemp is extremely excessive. Especially when I didn't cheat. I entered on the 2nd day of the contest. I hope this is just one huge misunderstanding!
Edit: Wait. It was something on a thread/post on GBAtemp?

Sounds like sarcasm to me...

It's a bit extreme to user the POWERWORD on somebody just because they cheated, endangering their personal well-being by exposing their personal information to the numerous unstable psychopaths that lurk within the intertubes.

The mods would never do that...

...but given the recent events that have been going down...

(If they do start throwing information up all willy-nilly into mob of the internets, I'm fucking outta here

)

That said, I think I got pretty far but got stumped on one certain clue. Racked my brains and haunted my dreams for a few nights and never got past it... hope they post the full contest solutions or something...

What was? If you mean the stuff about your personal info put on Gbatemp, it's in the message you get when you finish.

Yes they will post the solution tomorrow, although someone cheated and posted the solution online, so you could just go and check it since it's too late to enter. And they sounded pretty serious about posting your name and address on GBAtemp...

I didn't see a message like that when I finished.
I'm not going to double-check it, though. Just in case.

 

[Pyrmon]

They changed recently, along with the last clue.

 

[Arras]

I think I know how they check for cheaters. I'm afraid I might get banned for doublechecking everything now, though

Still, I submitted my answer like a week ago.

 

[Pyrmon]

How do you think they check for cheaters?

 

[Arras]

The new final clue. The old one still works, but I think they log them. Still, that wouldn't work if you weren't logged in at the time...

 

[Pyrmon]

You need to be logged in to get to the end message, I tried without being logged in and it didn't work.

 

[Arras]

Which means they probably do, in fact, log them.

 

[Pyrmon]

And what exactly does it mean if they do log them?

 

[SamAsh07]

Lol, stupid hunt, first clue is tricky then it gets easy and effs you up when you go past no.10...whoever won this must've been really patient and have alot of free time to browse GBAtemp and its sites from top to bottom.

 

[Pyrmon]

At least 300 tempers made it to the end.

 

[Arras]

And what exactly does it mean if they do log them?

It means they know if you used the old clue. The walkthrough will probably give you the old clue.

 

[Pyrmon]

Just checked and it gives the new one

 

[Arras]

In that case, I don't know.

 

[Pyrmon]

It's a total mystery to me too.
Any mod or admin could shed some light on this?
