ProfBambam55 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 2 hours ago, Bojuka76 said: @ProfBambam55 The whole idea of the contest is you have a riddle, which relates to a game. You have to guess the answer to the riddle, and if you're correct Phy will send you a message with the "Gate" or challenge for that riddle. It will be in the form of another riddle, but how to solve it is pretty straight forward and will have to do with the game the first riddle was based on, in this case you need to play MGS and get the Fox codename (It's a bitch to do). If 10 people solve the riddle, then Phy will release the answer in order to keep it fair and more in line with the book, since normally after it was solved a few times, everyone flocked to the right answer. In order to prove you did the challenge, you're probably just going to have to take a picture of it or prove it in some other manor, such as the possibility a later challenge will earn you a trophy or something. That's the basic gist, 3 riddles and 3 challenges, whoever finishs the last challenge first of course, wins. brilliant...thanks for explaining...a couple decades ago, I might've attempted this challenge...good luck to all... side question : is mgs even available on ps4?...i know it got a ps3 release...great game for its time...

Uchiha_Snake__ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 @Psy-Tychist what do you expect from us? a trophy? a screenshot? what's necesary to prove we complete the riddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojuka76 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I don't think it ever got a ps4 release, nor did it end up on Vita even with the Hd Collection which was only 2 and 3. Psp and ps3 ended up getting ports of it. @ProfBambam55 Edited April 4, 2018 by Bojuka76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy-Tychist Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 @Uchiha_Snake__ A Screenshot is what I'd be expecting and when you achieved it. If both in the same screenshot then even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uchiha_Snake__ Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I don't have much time to do this challenges since I'm pretty busy now, but is it really have to be MGS? I mean you can anchieve the same on MGS3 or MGS4 ? don't get me wrong I'm not complaining I'm just a little bit confused ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy-Tychist Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 @Lance the Lone Wolf no reason you can't join. @Uchiha_Snake__ It's one of my favourite games, these challenges are arbitrary as they are made by me. I know there are FOX ranks in other MGS series games also. This one is the most achievable. I'll post some other thoughts and reasons later.

Oh, I was under the impression I had to wait for the next riddle to be able to join since the current riddle has already been guessed and the challenge riddle was already posted.

Nope. Once you complete this challenge you will be given the riddle for the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teslacron_Prime Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 @Psy-Tychist - you're a credit to the force my friend, I whole-heartily applaud this effort. Never read the book, but the movie was Sick, and I am a sucker for riddles.. so consider my name in the running! As a caveat (should it actually come down to it ofc) I don't want your games or money etc upon victory. Nothing personal, just weird about that kind of thing. Furthermore, the Armada would like to donate some stuff to the contest if that's cool. Given the amount of time the book challenges took, hoping this IRL one will take awhile to complete too, and people might need some modular incentives to stay interested? Might be wrong though.. Regardless - cool format, mad props, and keep up the great work!! -Jaeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine123 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 @Psy-Tychist Have you got a fox yet? I gave up trying last week but I might psych myself up for another shot this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperLance34 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Gonna try and get the rank tonight. I know that game by heart so it shouldn't take me too long. Too bad I'm gonna have to skip all cutscenes and conversations... Edited April 20, 2018 by Lance the Lone Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way about a different game, or at least a series. While I do really love the dialogue and cutscenes in the Kingdom Hearts series, my plans to get the platinums in it do not involve deep worthy plot or the scenes involved in such plot. You have to make sacrifices to get the games done fast so you can get that shiny platinum trophy or title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) So what's going on with this event? Are people working on the second riddle? Edited May 14, 2018 by soultaker655 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojuka76 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'm assuming everyone has the second riddle figured out, it's just completing the challenge that is the problem. I've been giving it a go every weekend, I haven't been able to complete it though. Always go over the allotated time, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy-Tychist Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 At the moment, noone has completed the challenge although @Bojuka76 and @wolverine123 seem to closest. Have a look at this Video to get some cheeky strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojuka76 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 My Plus just ran out, so now that I can't waste anymore time on BF4 I'll probably just focus on MGS I'll take a look at that, Psy, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
