Code:
This isn't a forum game because it kicks ass.

Code:
Here's how it works. I post a picture/link/whatnot along with a clue. Everyone tries follow the clue(s) and find the final link in the chain, the first person who thinks he/she has found the payoff posts it for me to confirm. If I confirm that he/she has found the final hidden piece, it is now that person's turn to create a mini puzzle, and so on, and so forth.

Code:
I didn't explain that well but if this confuses you then you're probably not not smart enough to solve anything anyway.

Code:
Also keep all chatter inside of code tags so that clues will be easier to discern and because it gives off that cryptic vibe.

Code:
EDIT: Make your final answers obvious! I didn't do this very well, but you should! Be creative and make them unique! Exclamation marks are fun!

CLUE: Crack this and a winrar is you.

wtf lol hi

answer is obviously quantum square root of pi times the amount of cytokaplotics in photosynthesis biology chemistry Virginia

Code:
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/2028/samonlk6.png ... is the hidden piece!
Code:
Clue was obvious to me... something was embedded inside the image, so I some previous knowledge and changed the root to .rar (a WinRar is you). Inside was a .txt file with binary. Find a decoder and boom, there's the URL. Give me a while to think a puzzle up.

Clue: Using previous knowledge, fill the hole and you'll move on to the next step.
 
Code:
So I guess a winrar IS you. The next puzzle is totally up to you, no real limitations.
 
Wait a minute...WHAAAAA?
 
Code:
i was thinking of trying that but i thought that there was no way you could actually do that :S , thats actually pretty cool what program did you use to make it?, i hope the next one is as good as this.
 
Everyone Look At Qonfused's Clue A Few Posts Up!

He found mine first and now it's our turn to figure out his clue.
 
Code:
So whose turn is it?

[quote]Qonfused - Clue was obvious to me...[/quote] Yeah because I said Win Rar.
 
Code:
So...who's doing what now? I figure out the first one.
 
Code:
It's Qonfused's turn now, if you people would look up a few posts.

Seems to be the same thing as the last, except when you open up the .png in the rar it's just another white line. Renaming it to a .rar does nothing
 
Code:
that is one clever puzzle, i think i've figured it out..
edit GOT IT !
"THERE IS A GENDER ROLE SWITCH WITHIN MY SIGNATURE." do i get a cookie?, something tells me thats not the end :S?
theres more :S "THERES NOTHING HERE" . that was rediculously hard to do , i demand a cookie!, still not quite sure about the gender role switch.
edit2: just found a much easier way of doing it ... meh. insert both images into layers in photoshop , make a new layer on top of them and fill it in with black and then set its overlay mode to "color burn"
 
Code:
I've figured it out, so wtf do I do now?
 
Code:
I'm way too tired to figure these out...and how does having code posts cause "cryptic"ness?
 
Code:
Code posts are to keep irrelevant chatter within. Things outside the code posts actually matter. Try reading the first post.

Once you have solved the mystery - you need to check it privately with whoever set it, in this case Qonfused - you may post your own for others to solve.
 
I have...REPLY Q!
 
Code:
Note that I specified 'ask PRIVATELY'. Again, read properly.

Do please keep chatter in code tags as Geogaddi dictates. He is a dictator. Obey.
 
Code:
There is nothing
 
Code:
lets all dress up like rabbits and jack eachother off

Code:
He's closest. If you looked a little bit more, you find it.
 
Code:
is this it ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/qonfused/496705884/

still doesnt feel like the end.
 
Code:
i like how you linked everything, but the ending was horrible :(. give me a minute and i'll come up with something , although i doubt it will be as good as yours because i dont know how to do any of that archive stuff.
 
Code:
alright here it is, i've tried my best to make this as challenging as possible
[B]Clue : same difference[/B]

Code:
Hm, pretty easy so far. I don't think I'll solve it here, though. I don't want this to be a thing where only a few people go back and forth. The only problem I'm having is reading the image (I understood the clue, great clue! :D).
 
Code:
yeah i know exactly what you mean , this one isnt all that hard , i  hope that allows a few more people to get into it.
 
Code:
This is pissing me off. The url is so ****ed up, I can't read it.
 
Code:
hahaha maybe you didnt get the clue then ? im not sure , pm me what you think it means , if its correct i'll just pass along the url :P
