Bobster Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hey everyone, I thought I'd let you know about this riddle I found a couple of weeks ago. Basically, the riddle consists of many levels (~120 at the moment), which require you to decode or find a solution to pass on to the next level. The first levels are relatively easy in respect to later levels, to ensure that people get some sort of a touch to the game. As a whole, the game is extremely hard, consisting of levels which require one to google for solutions using vague hints, download programs to processes certain data, et cetera. The game is certainly not something one would complete in a day. It requires time and a broad range of knowledge and the ability to apply certain skills at specific times. The riddle is named "Not Pron" - http://htttp://www.deathball.net/notpron The following are a list of general hints that should be taken into consideration when solving the riddles "General hints: -User Internet Explorer, other browsers do not always work (no music eg.). -Always look for all hints you can find, and try to interpret them! -A riddle consists of more than a picture! -Try all to get to the next screen, no matter what. It's NOT a point and click thing! -The url of the next riddle has nothing to do with the current one! -To have Music playing in Firefox, install this extension. -Everytime you need Google, there is a build in search bar on the riddle page. No need on any others. About passworded Stuff: - no spaces - no capital letters and no spaces - You won't see the password written in an obvious way - You'll always get username and password at the same time or in the same way (except Level 13)" (http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm) There are no rules per se, but the use of walkthroughs is highly looked down upon, as it will ruin the fun for oneself. Thanks and have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links mentioned in the first post do not belong to such a category. It isn't the site that downloads the programs for you, it is YOU who will need to search for a program that can be used to decode a file. As far as I know, all of the programs needed to acquire information about the solution or the solution in itself can be downloaded from google - one needn't use money to acquire the programs needed.

Futurama Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 note to everyone, on level 4 don't use the first translator that comes up. It's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobster Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Are you sure you translated everything? Something you mightv've missed? Can you make any sense of what you decoded? It shouldn't be too hard. Remember that mistakes in typing occur also, so you should retype passwords carefully. More hints can be found at quakenet #notpron by typing "!hint >level number<" - for example "!hint 4" or at the official Not Pron forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks for the running commentary but the idea is that it's supposed to be hard. So no posting spoilers people :) This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 100% safe, though you do need some extra programs sometimes in order to pass levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibl Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'll admit, this riddle is freakin hard. The farthest I got was to level 7 (few months ago), and even to get there I had to ask for some big clues. I suggest you all give it a try. Its mnd bogglingly (word?) difficult.

hohto Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm currently stuck at level 44. Some riddles have been *really* bad, but most of them were really enjoyable. I truely hated level 43, was stuck on it for days and the answer was just infront of my eyes :lol: I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
