[Issue 62] [Contest] Nothin' Like a Good Riddle

[TheZigzagoonThatCan 678]

 

   

To cause confusion and set gears ticking in the minds of clever folks all over, what better method is there besides a bona fide, high quality riddle? This contest focuses on just that, but we decided to amp it up a notch. Interested? Take a look below if you've got the nerves and the brains.

 

---

 

Since we of the Tanki Online Newspaper production group are some of the best procrastinators known to humankind and multkind alike a crafty bunch that like to inspire critical thinking just as much as we like to tackle said problems, we're not going to be producing the riddles ourselves. That, ladies and gents, is your job in this competition.

 

Design a riddle around something related to Tanki Online. You have the entire game and its various branches at your disposal, so don't be shy about straying away from the normal template of thought and playing around with something that's slightly less expected.

 

The criteria for good standing in this contest relies on the implementation and usage of the following:

• A creative and clever overall design.
• Clean and recognizable formatting.
• A sensible answer to the riddle.
• Satisfactory grammar and spelling, of course.

When your riddle has finished being fine-tuned, feel free to submit it directly through this form. Or at least, you could, if that link was still open.

 

 

 

However, this is just the beginning.

 

The riddles that make the top three in the following results page (winning 25 000, 16 000, and 9 000 crystals respectively) will make way for a second contest: now that the riddles have been crafted, it's up to the readers to solve these riddles. The names of the winners will not be revealed next Issue, just their riddles. That month will be dedicated to you, the readers, to solve these riddles for a smaller prize. More will explained on that page upon the publication of Issue 63.

 

Make sure to have your riddles submitted before the server update on the 27th of March, UTC 0!

 

 

So, ultimately, your task is twofold: create a brilliant riddle related to Tanki Online, then upon the release of the winning creations in April, you'll have the opportunity to solve a riddle made by one of your tanker peers.

I submitted a riddle.

I forgot to check the grammar (crap)

I dont' actually know if this is still going on or not but did it anyway

I made it almost completely rhyme, and it makes sense if one thinks about it for very long.

I gave it a try. I'm curious to check out the top 3 riddles and break my brain on them. Cool contest!!
