Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
@Warden, is it possible you are missing an E in the first line? That sure seems like it should be "ear" to me....

Okay, didn't we just pick dead red as the color for confirmed words? Throw me a frickin' bone here people!

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
We need to know which parts are still "being worked on". It makes more sense for the parts that seem 90%+ confident to just be written, so we can see where we need to concentrate by looking at the parts in dead red, to me!
Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
I'll be more cognizant of that in the future.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
You know, I have two simple requests. One is to have sharks with laser beams attached to their skulls. The other is to use a color one way or another. Let's just be consistent, okay? And I agree that e should write out as much as we think we have. That way pur ideas can be "peer reviewed."

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
A few bits that maybe could be resolved...
"??all" in crossword helper sites has only these choices: myall, scall, shall, small, spall, stall.
In light of this, I think it must be small? I'm not sold on "plot" though, as "slot" and "slit" make as much sense.
Also, I put ~~le~~e as silence, as crossword helpers offer no other real possible alternative.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Your effort today is commendable to be sure but I have to note that it is ironic that today you seem to care a lot about getting this done yet you didn't think we could manage the posting quota challenge. Just an observation.Prisoner 920077 wrote:Meh, we're all trying our best here, I don't care which way we do it.

Speaking of observations it might be worthwhile to think ahead to the next letter we want revealed. In order of frequency of use, the top 10 letters are E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, and D. Interesting that the letter L is only eleventh on the list but I understand that you fellows were trying to reveal potentially topical words.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Yeah it was a bit surprising to find out that the quote ha ms absolutely nothing to do with mafia stuff so my strategy on the letters backfired but I think we are doing pretty well.
As for the poll yesterday, like I said, I don't mind admitting I was looking for a prize!

What we thought was "lamb" could be "lock", like a lock on the little slit that they slide the food through. "Escapes" may not thus be correct.

Someone else had the idea of "day" where I had "ear", I stuck it back in as it seems likely to be correct. But would it be "of my day"? "in my day"?

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
We are going to have to flat out guess that last, blank, 7 letter word. It isn't talking, since there is no "L", but it has to be something like it where the person starting making noises to kill the silence. It likely ends in "ing". So four letter word plus -ing that means talking sort of, but not talking, and it can't have an A, E, L or T. I think that's right. I've tried thesaurus.com or whatever and so far, I've got nothing. That word is going to kill us.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Phenomenal work. If for some reason we have not solved it and get another letter, do you think an additional vowel is in order or would you like to establish the presence of a particular consonant?

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
There are definitely a few too many guesses involved, still. The word "slipping" may not be right, though I can't find a decent alternative, so it likely is. I'm flat out guessing at cursing, but it feels like it fits. So if they say it isn't right, and offer another letter.... I'm not sure. "P" is fairly popular, and would confirm slipping. "S" would help with cursing/sighing.Prisoner 813142 wrote:Phenomenal work.

A vowel may be best, because a few spots where we have "of" could be "in"... "sound of my day" could be "sound in my day".
So P/S/I would work for me.
@WARDEN or HOSTS: how does this work? If we do not hear from you do we assume it is wrong? Can we submit multiple times? Do you guys say nothing until day ends?

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Swap slit out for slot I think. I will try to pull my weight on these last few words in a few hours. I want to hit the shower before any gang-banging thugs try to corner me and turn my into a ventriloquist's dummy.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Yeah, slot in place of slit seems pretty straightforward. And I suppose it could be "only sound in my day" after all.
Any thoughts on a replacement for cursing? I thought of singing and sighing, I don't feel super-sold on either, but we have zero letters to work with, there.

And gleams could be sneaks?
ETA: Oh, I like clomps, nice one.
And yeah, let's try "breaks in" but if they say no again, let's use "sneaks in" as the next try. I like yours better.
And if singing fails, we can try sighing.

Re: [DAY 3] Turf Wars: Prison Edition
Very amazing work to the handful of you who bothered trying this challenge. I always appreciate a good decode session!
And to the rest of you...

So, considering how difficult this one is, I'd like to note that the following prisoners have contributed:
Prisoner 920077
Prisoner 277058
Prisoner 413022
Prisoner 208986
Prisoner 650829
Prisoner 740359
The following prisoners have commented on it but not contributed:
Prisoner 640326
Prisoner 813142
And the following haven't said anything:
Prisoner 379949
Prisoner 509378
Prisoner 513538
Prisoner 980854
Should we fail, I think this information will be useful. I will not be voting to remove anyone from the first list, and even those in the second are ok, I know some people aren't fans of the decode. But that third group? Yeah. The last groupa mugs who tried to ride my coattails ended up on their backs staring at the roof of the church #apologiestoDMX

You guys are amazing. I spent most of today trying to think of what the damn 3 letter word without the e in it after the small intsy bit I did was. You. Of course it was you. I need to play more cyrptos to be good at that sort of thing again.

"Climbs" could be clicks or clacks.
The warden sometimes wears women's heels so those make kind of a clicking noise....
Great job today though!

Keep working, maggots. I'll check again in the morning.Prisoner 920077 wrote:Could we have it?????
I hear the footsteps approaching. It's the only sound in my day as they clunk steadily towards me, and then the light that breaks in as the small slot is opened. A grating sound as the aluminum tray is slid inside before the slot is slid back into place and the little lock engages with a click. The food is warm but mostly flavorless, nothing to write home about. Not that I could write home, they won't give me pen and paper, or light, for that matter. It is later, after the food is finished and my tray taken away that the emptiness of this place really closes in. That's when you really start slipping.At first you pass the time with thinking,then you find the silence too much and start sobbing, eventually you end up talking to yourself. Until the voices start talking to you...
