During summer, I'll try to tell one riddle per day (but... maybe it will be less, honestly), using Server Message in the game. Don't know how it will turn out, which is what is exciting ! Each time a random reward will be delivered. The riddles will probably be like : Find out where to go, and get the reward there.
I'll tell the answer here if the reward is found OR after 12 hours.
Today's one (Sunday, 27th of June 2010) :
Where the Big and the Little are living, look at the Big one, and find out who was his clone,
Then search the building at the south of which the clone's daughter lives in.
There, you will find a Combat Armor !
Solution
Little and Big Jesus Mordino, then Vic that has same skin as Big Jesus, then Vic's daughter in Vault City. Found by TTTLAs, congratulations to them !
-
Ahhhh haha,that was a good one izual. i see im gonna have to prep my jig saw solving skills for this. Cool idea though seriously.
-
It was really funny. It's a very good idea. Thank you, Izual. ;)
-
Thanks !
Today's one (Monday, 28th of June 2010) :
The stone man is running. He is afraid of the Garden of Eden.
Inside the garden's building there is a priest of an ancient garden, an abandoned one.
You recognized this priest, you know where to go. Find his abandoned garden, where he comes from !
Reward is waiting for you there.
Solution
The stone man : Of course, the statue of the Vault Dweller in NCR ! He is running opposite the beautiful garden of NCR's church. Inside, there is a ghoul where the priest usually stands. Then, you need to find the ghoul's "garden", or "church"... In Necropolis of course ! Reward : Two robes.
TTTLA found them again. Looks like I'll have to forbid next riddles to french guys ! :p But deeply in my heart, I know french guys were the smarter ones. Seriously, they are french, so... ;p

And the last letter of the name of the chinese kingdom.

-
I know the answer, but never can make it in time to this person :)

-
I knew this is Renesco, but i was too slow to get into New Reno :(
-
If someone would enlighten me on the following things since it has been solved...
Who is the lead caste of regs?
The faction of tall black men?
Ghoul expert?
Which kingdom? there were a lot....
And where the hell is Renesco? I been all over new Reno never seen that place...
-

Not regs. Shiny men are BoS. Elder is the leading caste.
Faction of tall black men is Enclave.
Ghoul proficient in repair was Skeeter.
Chinese kingdom is San Francisco
-
And as everytime some people destroying the fun to others with spoilers. ::)
It's everytime the same few guys.
-
And where the hell is Renesco? I been all over new Reno never seen that place...
Hehe, Renesco is in Reno, West Side. He deals medical supplies.
-
And there show that not all people played Fallout1&2
@edit\/
Yeah but propley knowing cities and people from Fallout 1&2 helps you much with that riddles - so i will say that people should first play Fallout 2 then FOnline - but's it is only my dream.
-
Well honestly you could find the solution even by only playing FOnline.
-
Not regs. Shiny men are BoS. Elder is the leading caste.
Regulators wear metal armor so it was 50/50....
Faction of tall black men is Enclave.
Ok got me on that one.
Ghoul proficient in repair was Skeeter.
aint heard of him.
Chinese kingdom is San Francisco
Got me...
-
"It's everytime the same few guys."
"Destroyed event with spoilers"
What you mean ?
Event was over after Johhny won it. But i dont knew that 30 sec after "event is over" will be problem when i will give a little advice. Ok it was problem. I dont understand, and you can call me troll.
-
But i dont knew that 30 sec after "event is over"
Event started*
-
Event started*
Between "started" and "ended" was some 20-30 seconds ? But it doesnt matter now.
-
Event ended when the global message announced it was ended.
-
Event ended when the global message announced it was ended.
So you gived some second award ? Hmm, i think that no. But again it doesnt matter and if you can, unban me. Thanks
-
Nobody said reward would be given to everyone. Incredible that you guys can even bitch about such an event.
-

It doesnt matter. Can you unban me, delete these post and forget on this "case" ? Thanks again
-
Izual: If I understand it correctly, Hololasima is arguing about he got banned for spoiling even though he was giving the advice, when the award was already found from another player...
and if this is true, then I have to agree with him, that there is no sense in giving ban for spoiling to someone just because event ending wasnt announced officially, when the award was already claimed by some player and in fact this spoiling (if it is even spoiling) cant ruin nothing, because no other player could get the reward...
-
The temporarily ban was on IRC and he is unbanned already long time before. ;)
And he spoiled it seconds after the event got even announced. Those events aren't just about the reward, it's fun for people trying to solve the riddle. People spoiling the fun for others are therefore not good.
And now please back to topic.

Great riddles Izual
Keep 'em coming.

Today's one (Wednesday, 29th of June 2010) :
Light kills.
-
i am thinkin the glow
-
oh my... If this is it, than I am completely stupid, I was thinking of completely another place... bad luck then...
-
Died twice from radiation poisoning, great riddle ::)
-
That was my thought, too... but you know what? I died and saw plenty of goo piles on the ground where others had died.
Either Izual is evil for this and there is nothing there at all... or we were wrong and it AIN'T The Glow
-
Well there was a winner so we'll find out soon enough.

Winner : Johnny N1, congratulations !
-
???
That's so lame... I passed him right BY THERE!!!
-
Hmm, if you just ran without stopping (Whish isn't really a way to show you found the solution, by the way :p), maybe you had bad luck and passed by when I was in Glow solving pking problems (took me 15 seconds).
-
As said on IRC, me and a friend first thought about the skags as they are pretty affective to sunlight.
Then the mushrooms the doctor in Boneyard is planting. Then - as laser weapons are based on light basically - the salvatores in Reno as they have laser pistols.
Just to swap ideas with others, it was pretty obvious that its NOT the glow. ;)
-
well yes this riddle was ambiguity. i was also thinking about salvatores, glow, navaro ( eneryweapons) vault city laser towers.. but then i got idea light=lamp :)
-
First I thought about Solar Scorcher for example :)
-
First I thought about Solar Scorcher for example :)

Ghost Farm with Slags was my first idea... didnt work though... :)

Today's one (Monday, 5th of July 2010) :
I've got items ! But when you buy them, you don't use them, and when you use them, you are not aware of it.
Solution
The Last Gasp saloon in Redding ! Yep, the bartender got coffins. They have no use once you buy them, and when you're dead, you use them but you can't be aware of it ! :)
-
I've got the idea in the same time as Holo, but my lvl1 low life noob was not fast enough to get to Redding...

If no one knows the solution, I will give a few tips.
-
AAAANnnnd. We have a winner! Gratulations, Quentin Lang! :)
The solution:
1 - "Little Souls in the dark, barely know how to walk"
The little children in at the slags in Ghostfarm are very young and are dwelling in the dark. Solution was then GHOSTFARM.
2 - "We like to make the booze, cause that's the way I choose!"
"I" is in this line ORVILLE WRIGHT, the head of the Wrights Familiy in Reno. They make the booze.
3 - "I am red like blood with speed of light each shot!"
An easy one - it was LASER.
4 - "For two you bring I make your palate sing!"
GRISHAM in Modoc makes your tongue and your palate sing with his tasty meat.
5 - "We small and poor in Den reside and take your goods for our side!"
The little ORPHANS (no, not the gang :P ) residing in Den and stealing your stuff.
6 - "The Caps will take awhile, but I'll make you ride with style!"
T-RAY in Reno provides you with the best cars in the wastes.
7 - "I cant stand the barking atnight, now grab a gun and fight!"
HENDRIKS gives you the quest to get rid of the dogs in L.A.
8 - ""Sacred place in northwest, don't go there, don't try your best"
It was obviously ARROYO. ;)
-
Dont know man !!! I am only winner, not "playerwhoknowsall" 8) :D

Can't it be done via radio than via travel?
It's obviousl that between 2 players (taxi man - outdoorsman >200% and normal man - average outdoorsman) will win this first. Pure favor as for me.

telling that we have to contact you on IRC to win... ;)
well... yes i can stand at that place, but then its not about searching for riddle solution, but only searching for my char, im not invisable as izual was.
-
well, use radio then... it will be more classy ;)
-
People. ::) Dont complain. Its unfair. Johnny made that all from hisself, didnt expect the help of a GM and even donated the prize just for other peoples pleasure. I think that needs a bit of respect.

I know Surf... I didnt want to bitch about it... just trying improve the idea... :-[
-

hmmm it would be just next complicaion, and i think 95% of players does not use radio, sometimes they would have to go through whole map to get some.
-
How d'you give your names through the radio ? Don't forget everyone use the same channel and it's anonymous. IRC is really enough, and Johnny is doing great job with these riddles. If you don't have or want to install IRC just for this... Go to Mibbit -> Connect to IRC -> /server irc.forestnet.org -> /query [VSB]Johnny_N1 (I think it's your nickname, Johnny ? :p).
-
Because Izuals riddles were awesome and a good idea, I try to keep the spirit. So:
Today's (24.09.2010) riddle:
The Riddler awakes from his summer slumber...
"Solve my riddle, find me and I may have something for ya."
The riddle is:
"I am sweating like hell, a dark wind blows all day."
"All I can tell, someone is pissing of my customers away."
The person we were looking for was Gordon, the owner of Gordons Gas Station.
It has already been solved before I could send away this message. :D
Congratulations, Banjo! Have fun with the Brotherhood Armor. :)
-
Um, what was the answer?
-
Heh, sorry, forgot to add it. It's in there now. ;)
-
Cool! But the flags are all dead at the top of their poles... :P
