alanschu Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) Some of you are close, but you still do not quite know how to play the game. I will be so glad if one can see the game for all its fun and joy. Kum wins as he found me not play the game the right way!

alanschu Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Good for you. Those small words were always the ones that got me. They seem so innocent in their polysyllablic ways. For those that are curious (which would be no one), the game was one Chuckles played with The Avatar in Ultima VII. I figured since this board seemed more CRPGish, that more people would have recognized it.

Blank Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 So each word has to be one syllable? I lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 That is how you play the game. It was a neat puzzle in Ultima VII. Chuckles is the Castle Jester, and he'd stop talking with you if you used a word with more than one syllable. If you went through all the way, he gave you a clue of some sort. At the very end, was he says goodbye to you, he says "Do not forg..... Do not lose how to play the game." He almost slips up, but not quite. If you googled the phrase "Do not lose how to play the game," it returned with a reference to Chuckles and Ultima VII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 That stack of sweet treats makes me drool. And for a whole cake I could play the fool. I doubt though that I could play this game long One note words do not flow and are not my song. *it's hard to find a good word to rhyme with "drool"... “Things are as they are.

alanschu Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Do we really have to find a rhyme scheme? It's not like we are writing poetry. It's hard to make coherent points like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Of course not. It was humor in my own odd style - no point to it other than that. “Things are as they are.

SteveThaiBinh Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 For those that are curious (which would be no one), the game was one Chuckles played with The Avatar in Ultima VII. I figured since this board seemed more CRPGish, that more people would have recognized it. I remember this game because when I first played Ultima VII I simply could not get it, no matter how many times I tried. Chuckles used to drive me nuts. It was only after going back to the game a few years later, I got it first time. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised there weren't more people here who knew it, but I guess it shows just how old Ultima VII is now (though still great). Thanks for the cookies.

Darth Drabek Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 That is how you play the game. It was a neat puzzle in Ultima VII. Chuckles is the Castle Jester, and he'd stop talking with you if you used a word with more than one syllable. If you went through all the way, he gave you a clue of some sort. At the very end, was he says goodbye to you, he says "Do not forg..... Do not lose how to play the game." He almost slips up, but not quite. If you googled the phrase "Do not lose how to play the game," it returned with a reference to Chuckles and Ultima VII. I put on my thinking cap yesterday for this one, but all I could come up with was "well, they're not using contractions... then when you said "Do not lose how to play the game" I thought you had to use each of the words "how to play the game" in your post somewhere... then I realized that wasn't it. Then I gave up and slunk home, defeated. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I put on my thinking cap yesterday for this one, but all I could come up with was "well, they're not using contractions... then when you said "Do not lose how to play the game" I thought you had to use each of the words "how to play the game" in your post somewhere... then I realized that wasn't it. Then I gave up and slunk home, defeated. My guess was that they weren't using any words with more than 6 letters. Which was true, but only because there aren't many one-syllable words with more letters than that. It was clear to me that something was constraining word choice, but I guess my mind is more visual/numerical oriented that I jumped to number of letters rather than number of syllables. Trivia: the longest word with only one syllable is "strengths," at 9 letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
