The 228 Massacre

[onlyanapple]

[For anyone playing on Castlenet today, they will find the mysterious hacker is back (not that he ever really made much of an effort to BE mysterious about it), with a brand new game to infuriate you all. If you win, YOU SAVE THE WORLD. And don't worry, that sound can't grate on you forever, right? Well, even if it does, just like the Nyan Cat before it, turning off or even removing the speakers entirely will not stop that ENDLESS CLICKING.

For those not with the ability or the means to explore the castle's internet system, he has decided to pose a riddle. He could say it's because he wants it to be fair and give everyone something to do, but the honest truth of it is that he's bored, and listening to people bitch and whine over the journal over something he's created is somewhat entertaining to him. So, he idly dictates;]

Here's a question for you, Paradisa. To pass the time.

A man is in a tent. It offers no protection from the weather, but if he leaves it, he will die. Why?

[[ooc: As always feel free to discover the new game as you like, here, in your own posts, whatever, go for it!]]

[Oh yay Crowley riddles. Time for him to give an obvious guess]

There's someone with a gun outside it threatening to do as such...?

[onlyanapple]

[You know you love them, Allen]

Nope, try again.

[fishy_go_byebye]

Because angora... agora... Outside.

[onlyanapple]

Agoraphobia. Nicely thought out, but no.

[atrophied]

It's an oxygen tent.

[onlyanapple]

My my aren't we clever? Want to try another?

[triumph]

101 turns. Who can do better?

[onlyanapple]

I'll be impressed if someone manages it in one.

[akito]

Because there is life support inside but not outside?

[onlyanapple]

Very goo...

Akito?

[chippedcup]

[She's already seen the answer, but decides just to guess for the hell of it.] An ogre's outside and they're going to eat them if they step outside.

[onlyanapple]

I do love the monster theme we have going around tonight. Very fitting for Paradisa.

[gottaknockhard]

We're down to brain teasers now?

[onlyanapple]

It's called a riddle, you uncultured ape.

[30 minutes later....]

This game is hard...

[onlyanapple]

The important thing is you tried.

[ Damn, why was she never good with riddles? She thinks about this a long time. ]

Wild wolves?!

forever!

[onlyanapple]

Nope, nothing so fierce.

What kind of tent would prevent death? Does the tent itself offer something that the outdoors would lack?

[Konzen's on the right track, but being who he is, he'll never guess it.]

forever!

[onlyanapple]

If you think really hard you might just get it.

[perfectisnteasy]

[there's a familiar clicking in the background...]

I see someone already guessed the tent question. You got any more of those?

[onlyanapple]

Always.

A man was surprised by the flood, or he would have discovered the murderer. What happened?

[wheatdos]

"That's an obvious one. The turrets can't see him if he's in the tent."

[onlyanapple]

I...

What?

[payback]

It's raining fire!

[payback]

... Maybe the tent is fireproof.
