Odyssey Of Words ( 23 / Nov / 2005 )

[clyne]

I'm starting a guess word game, the word is somewhat mentioned in the image... but can you spot it? It can be a name, or a general word.

I plan this to be weekly or bi-weekly, depending on my free time

I'll give maximum of three hints, do ask. Will provide only one hint at a time.

Anyone who guesses it right will get 1 Million Dappers. I know, I know. who doesn't have millions nowadays? But just give it a shot, it will be fun ^^

[rdfall]

mkay, this is more of a guess because i have only found 2 letters, but i found an R and a Y, so i'd go for Ryzom, right?
realy hope so, then i'll no longer have to dig for money

If not, i'd like a hint pls

[nijht]

Is it Lyre? Nice initiative btw - a million daps is still an amount I can't just throw about

[clyne]

Umm you found two words... maybe

All right, hope i dont kill this but i'll throw in two weird hints.

"The full moon is bright and the brightness creates patterns"

"Not everything has to be progressive, it may be the other way around, or perhaps totally different"

I encurage everyone to try, dont worry if you get it wrong ^^

[acridiel]

Hehehe, Got it!

Nice one. As I´m not on your server I´ll keep my mouth shut and just keep watching if someone else finds it. The Hints are pretty obivous though.

hehe acridiel, thanks for not spoiling the fun ^^

And guys this series is only going to get tougher, i made this an easy one to start things out. The Hints further OOW 02 and onwards are going to be way off.

[nijht]

The first hint refers to shadows... which make up the letters. I guess the second hint is that each "shadow" can be interpreted in more than one way (e.g. I mistook the M for an E and the Z for a L)?

So... rdfall was right, it is Ryzom after all

edit: removed image so that others can have a go at it too
...and yes, the middle is indeed the z - I made it look like a R by highlighting what could be an O right next to it

edit 2: *cough* Well since the solution has been posted I'll put it back I guess!



Yeesh if I'm still off I will be feeling very silly... please don't tell me (based on the second hint) that you're looking for more than one word?

[cygnus]

Yup, I think its Ryzom as well (no use talking around it now some of the letters have been highlighted) The letter O is on the rock to the far right of the picture and the middle letter of the 3 is a Z not another R

Great idea for a puzzle, I look forward to some more

[clyne]

Ow.. ow so close, you guys uncovered the obvious but weird hint.. but didn't make it. The second one has more importance than the first. Alright don't be discouraged I'm sure you'll all do better on the next one as its (3 Mil Dappers)

I'll start of, when i say its right its right. rdfall's answer was wrong, its not Ryzom

Now that nijht highlighted the words this OOW 01 becomes obsolete, no worries I'll explain what the words are:

R Y Z O M

Firstly Ryzom has five letters and there are only four set of shadows forming letters on the image.

HINT #1

"The full moon is bright and the brightness creates patterns"

It's not a full moon there but in bright full moon it creates shadows.

HINT #2 ( Most important )

"Not everything has to be progressive, it may be the other way around, or perhaps totally different"

It means a word need not be spelled progressively say "WORD" instead it can be reverse "DROW" or even placed in different angles.

The word is : Y B E R

Ow tough luck, but you guys gave your best shot and encouraged me to continue with OOW series. Next one onwards I'll plan thoroughly from several perspective to make it challenging yet easy

Btw how was this, any sugestions, oppnions?

[kyesmith]
