NO. That would not be funny. I have already warned Raph about trolling as part of these quests. If he does it again, I will be forced to reject the validity of his clues, and demand he gives me 1,000,000 crystals in compensation, which he will surely do immediately.

IKR, but I think small steps would be more useful here: - Evolution is not the work of the Devil/does not defy God's will/does not conflict with religious ideas - It should be a privilege to learn about theories such as evolution - It should be a right to learn about theories such as evolution And it seems people already start having trouble from the first point.

Kudos to you. +1, agreed completely. Though I disagree with what eragon's said here, that's just unfounded. That topic with FBI is a great example of what a free forum should look like. Oh, and I think I know who you are ^_^ So, you kind of publicly discussed mods' actions there... Such a discussion, whilst completely valid, might be more constructive when held in private? I've been there, done that, and public discussion about such issues needs to be carefully considered, and only done if entirely necessary... There is currently discussion taking place in private about this, which is probably a better way to handle such a matter. Feel free to PM me if you want to know more.

^It's because I'm a nub, so Raph wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at me ;) Thanks! Looking forward to another one of these next issue if you're planning to carry 'em on, hope they become a regular thing. It's an awesome idea, definitely amongst the best contests the newspaper has run to date, and you clearly put quite a bit of effort into organising this... just no trolling next time pls :lol:

I finally completed this (submitted my main account of course), looks like I'm third then... Trial and error, mainly - I actually only ended up actually understanding the meaning of the clue after I'd guessed the password(s). Raph, that was tough - though I guess the prizes definitely make the effort worth it. Though the challenging aspect meant it was really fun, and I presume it would have/will become easier over the next few days. Oh, and one more thing - you successfully trolled me. I managed to guess the password for the dl-protect link you've given here, and then... Come on, that was just mean... xD

Nope, not likely. Things've changed significantly since WW1 and WW2, so much so that it would be downright stupid to start another major war *cough*nuclear weapons*cough* Of course, there'll be conflict in less-developed areas of the globe... but between the world's major powers? Doubt it.

Will I ever receive a 20 year ban (as per skitee's predictions)?

Not exactly, since that isn't really 'blazing', but nice guess.

Correct bro, clue updated.

Correct - clue updated.

I've got the right place... now to find out the next step.

Manchester United *sigh*

When will you not use the smiley :3 in a post?

Awesome stuff.

Great stuff, especially the return of Madness and the lower rank requirements!

Correct, clue updated.

Awesome video - yes, it was a great map IMO.

Who said that? As Nick said, the rules specifically point out that this is not the case. If this was told to you by a Consultant, you can report this instance of misinformation to the Consultants' administrator (@FederalBureauFBI), so it can be noted and corrected. If the moderator who told you this information isn't also a Consultant, then technically it isn't his/her job to make sure all information provided is correct. So there'd no need to be so openly negative towards the moderators in this particular case and create a topic about it; any issues with the moderation team should be dealt with privately if they can.

Correct - clue updated.

I agree!

Correct, and nicely explained - two points for you! Clue updated.

Since 24 hours've passed, the clue's now worth two points. A pointer as to how to get the answer: If you want the answer to something on the Internet, how would you normally go about finding that answer out?

Career ok. Career. Why can no-one spell it?

Corrected. Dutch (or 'Nederlands' in Dutch) is spoken in the Netherlands, whereas German (or 'Deutsch' in German) is spoken in Germany. Confusing, eh?

I recall first arguing with someone when in nursery/pre-school about the colour yellow. That kid thought it was pronounced "lellow", for some reason. The argument pretty much went like "It's yellow." "NO, IT'S LELLOW!" "No it isn't, it's yellow." until he burst into tears. So yeah, I think I won.
