Indeed, it's quite spectacular!

Are we allowed to win more than once?

Endrosz · Sep 08, 2009, 10:21 AM // 10:21

Yes. Every riddle is a challenge on its own... We had three different winners so far, it's not like you can solve all if you solved one.

My New Name · Sep 09, 2009, 10:32 AM // 10:32

next 1 is this Saturday right?

Operative 14 · Sep 09, 2009, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Should be.

Endrosz · Sep 10, 2009, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Yes, this Saturday. I'm trying to come up with a good riddle right now.

BTW Smilin' Assassin became a partner in this, there's two of us now.

Smilin' Assassin · Sep 10, 2009, 10:57 AM // 10:57

yes, the puzzles are tested beforehand ~

and belated congrats, Countess, I expected a stylish win from an eminent riddler such as yourself ..
Sifhalla happened to be the jumping~off point for the Zbounty that day, and you stole the prize from under the noses of hordes of bountyhunters, unaware that the true treasure was at their fingertips

Endrosz are you sure you got your times right? CEST is GMT+2 not GMT+1 according to time zone converter

Endrosz · Sep 11, 2009, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Yes, exactly. Where did you read a GMT+1 note for Central Europe? Quote from the listing:

Yes, that was pretty funny. All those people coming and going, ignoring the 20 free Gifts in my backpack.

My New Name · Sep 11, 2009, 10:46 PM // 22:46

i could swear that it said CEST midnight...
weird like triple checked before posting hmmm

Endrosz · Sep 12, 2009, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Fourth one is coming 6 hours 42 minutes after this post.

Endrosz · Sep 12, 2009, 08:59 PM // 20:59

swirling orbs bleed an
endless tide of fallen ones
at nightmare's doorstep

Missed it by ten seconds!!

Congratulations Crusader!

Endrosz · Sep 12, 2009, 09:18 PM // 21:18

The solution was Shadow Nexus, the winner was Crusader Astinos. More coming later, have to leave now, thanks for playing!

Konig Des Todes · Sep 12, 2009, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Aw man, taking care of the GW2Guru lore thread caused me to miss this! And this time the Haiku was easy. o_o

My New Name · Sep 13, 2009, 08:48 PM // 20:48

well went outside and totally missed it...oh well i guess rl friends are better then pixels, but still bummer ;(

Endrosz · Sep 14, 2009, 11:41 AM // 11:41

I'm thinking of setting up a reminder service. Since I'm online before the game starts, and not doing anything particular, I might as well drop a PM in-game to people who want to come, but easily forget about it. What do you think?

So, the riddle was easy because there is not much to tell about Shadow Nexus, really. It had to be specific, otherwise people would go look forever at other places where there are portals. I know I did when Smilin' Assassin presented me the original version...

And since it was easy, it surprised me that it took more than 10 minutes to find me. Konig Des Todes, you really missed this chance.

But then, there was a slew of finders, 4 people came in less than a minute...

The only thing worth explaining about the haiku is that Shadow Nexus is next to Gate of Torment, that's what the last line refers to.

And thanks for the gifts Endrosz!

The fifth haiku is coming exactly 7 hours after this post.

Asphyxiat · Sep 26, 2009, 08:20 PM // 20:20

bah you made me miss it.

You said its at 10pm GMT, and then posted saying it was 7 hours from the exact time you posted, which when i checked was 8.00am. How does that work?

Endrosz · Sep 26, 2009, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Dude, please read the original post which lists start times by timezone. Find the one you're in. 99% of HHSPA members (Haiku Hide-and-Seek Players' Association) report that they had no problems about getting into the game after they do that.

Also, it's 9 pm GMT, bolded and all that.
