Thanks to Ket very soon we will open our new challenge. Well it is the same challenge but a little more direct. The goal was to make it hard yet not impossible. Part of this process involves updating questions. Here is where we need creative minds to come up with new and exciting riddles.
Here are the categories of riddles we need from most needed to least needed
Matrix Related Question (preferably nonsearchable)
Matrix Online Related
Non-Google Searchable Riddles
Google Searchable Riddles
If you come up with a few please jsut PM them to me and we may select them for the updated challenge!
Thanks!
-
Yes, we've streamlined some of the "legs" of the challenge to basically following directions, while keeping in about 6 areas where you still need to solve riddles. As always, the more riddles the better! Please try to spell check and grammar check! We don't want to look unprofessional! We're going to try to open the updated challenge by tomorrow.
-
that's not alot of time to get stuff in, will this be an ongoing process in case we come up with good riddles say, in two days, two weeks, two years, etc.
-
ongoing process. We have enough in the database to satisfy many users but more questions means its harder to cheat and more unique to each users path.
-
Hope the ones I submitted are good enough..
-
Yep.
-
We can add more riddles easily at anytime.
-
Still in need of riddles? I would love to work on some. I have 3 days off so ill have alot fo time.

This should have been brought up a while back but thanks to our new and improved system you can uplaod RP and riddles right from the site. There is a little link on the menu titled chal_uplink from there you can submit challenge material and upon approving from an admin will become active in the challenge.
One thing at the moment when an admin approves new material is doesn't let us know how submitted it it. If you are a new member who is completing RP and riddles for active membership please send Tbone a PM letting him know what riddles and RP you submitted. We hope to have this resolved shortly.
-
Hrm... when I joined the rp was down and i was told not to worry about. Am I to assume that everything's hunkey dorey and get to work on one?
-
If you feel so inclined, the more content we have, the more diverse are challenge will get.
-
I'm not real good with making riddles up, or answering them for that matter, lol. I will try and submit some when i can come up with them, if its not too late that is.

i'm not so sure i understand the 'submit RP' part. can someone please help the new girl :)

Under the RP section there is a link to downlaod the sheet. You must open it in excel. On the 2nd tab there are instructions on how to fill out the RP trees. Then once you are done, save the file and use the Upload RP sheet button browse your computer for the file and the system will reconize the sheet and uplaod all the RP into our database for us.
-
Your assumption, Lits, I believe is correct :D
-
Just an idea I had and I'm sure others have as well. BUT, in the challenge when you the FA member at the top right, why not have an idividual picture taken for each FA member that's in the challenge? Does is use up to much bandwith? Just'a wondering. :)
-
...in the challenge when you the FA member at the top right, why not have an idividual picture taken for each FA member that's in the challenge...
I think you are missing an important word that would help us understand what the Hell you're talking about.
-
I know what he is talking about and it has been asked before. I'm just too lazy to do a *search*
-
lol Do a search? Whatcha mean bud?

Everything has been answered in there somewhere.
And the reason is because over time way to many people come in and out to keep track of all the pictures, plus the pictures must be manually added into our custom .fla file, which takes space and time to update.
-
Yep, due to the path flash coding, only a male or female pic is possible at the mo.
It wouldn't be difficult to get the flash to embed an external (HTTP) pic, tho.
Maybe one day....
-
nah I dont think you need to have a picture for each person just 3 or 4 different ones in there... like for example dmax is a white guy on the challenge lol but its way too much work to put all 35 of our pictures (give or take a couple) in the challenge
-
Yeah that'd work. Have three or 4 different ones added :D Would that be possible Lith?
-
Does it have to be a pic from MxO? Why not someone in the real? Or some kind of data feed?
-
The image must be from MxO, to keep with RP feel.
It could be tweaked for 3 or 4 pics.
The new crew_roster is coming along, I may add an option to choose your pic (from a set of pre-determined). This is the pic that will be seen in the challenge.
Also, the female pics should be fixed once the new crew_roster is done.
-
Why don't we just dress someone up in "normal" clothing and take their pic in a jackout chair then use that as a default "real" picture, as if we were broadcasting direct from a hovercraft? At least then we'd have the RP continuity of not having to worry about the fact the images we show in the challenge don't bear any resemblance to our actual RSIs (with 4 pics it's unlikely you'll have one that looks like me, since only Broin and myself use this particular RSI).
I can be more pedantic, if required ;)
-
It's possible.
Basically, whatever pictures we decide to go with can be added to the flash.
We would need one male and one female avatar, at least.
The ZMF system is meant to be... well, I suppose a futuristic BBS, or secure server of some sort.
It wouldn't really be used within the Matrix, as such (although PDA's.....), but rather on the HvCft as ya say.
However, maybe we want to keep the FA uniform just for prosperity?
Is the uniform more... uniform? :P
I tell ya what, I will look into embedding images to ZMF from the crew_roster, instead of having a few in the flash. Regardless, will be a while as the crew_roster aint done.
-
Kool, can't wait :)
-
This is probably a dumb question so I apologize in advance. BUT.... you will be letting us know when this update happens If it happens right Ket?
-
Yup.
The crew_roster will be opened first.
From here, everyone will need to update their profile - there will either be the pictures you can choose, or one you can upload. Uploadable pics will need authed first.
Once the profiles have built up a little, then the challenge will be altered to look at the profiles, which can distinguish male/female and the chosen pic.
You will be notified via forum when either is available.

Do you mean just riddles or anything content wise?:)
