0 A.D grand crossword puzzle !


Recommended Posts

Great! Wouldn't it be fun if the lobby rating reflected your knowledge of 0 A.D. lore based on quizzes like this one? Maybe that would be more useful for balancing.

The solution is:

That's the MD5 hash. Don't really want to spoil it for anyone. :banana:

Anyway, still wondering who the Romanian player is. :glare:

Although I think @MarcusAureliu#s should remove the questions that might doxx other players or name people too personally. 

  • Question 12 has many alternative answers, e.g. Spain
  • Question 20 could be phrased a bit more clearly in a different way
  • Question 7: Don't forget Lorenz11 and SchweinePriester!
  • Question 15 has many alternative answers

Question Nr. 25 has an answer that is slighty more correct, as it uses a singular ;)

Otherwise, it is characterristic that crosswords puzzles have multiple correct answers, but only one vits in with the other words and the space

Thanks for giving it a try. You got most of them! Most of the ones used here anyway, otherwise we'd need a bigger grid.

You recognized the older VaccinePoison. There are two other older names: smirno and jypas. And then the first part of the name that was used to impersonate a legit old player by changing (I/Y): Ivaylo.

I know you're tired of hearing it, but I feel I have to repeat it here once more:

Using smurf accounts is a violation of the Terms of Use. If you encounter smurfs or players using duplicate accounts for other reasons, please report them to a lobby moderator.

Great job, @guerringuerrin. I missed one of the missing words on the second line, which is the first part of the three-word name that you already found. The remaining letters (left to right, top to bottom) give the secret message.

Regarding the smurfs: The puzzle wasn't intended to endorse making alt accounts. Anyway, it just seems comical for someone to have so many of those that you can make a crossword out of them. I believe that the names mostly had been reported in the past. Not sure if they can be logged into, but they still can be found, so it seems that no action has been taken on them. I can remember what felt like a one-off event during which some people were made to use their original account, but that was a long time ago and it might seem like a waste of time reporting the same few guys who can be seen with a new account every month.

@Boudica
Hahaha, I knew one of those was much longer and actually a combination of three names. how could I have missed it!? In the end, this crossword was much more difficult and creative than I expected. Putting aside the controversial -but fun- technique used for some players in 0 A.D., the secret message is a true story and an activity we should all keep doing until the end. And I truly love it, so I’ll keep doing it ! :dance3:

I can imagine that it's a fun lifestyle. I used to know a few ballroom dances, but those are usually only done on special occasions like weddings here. And last time I danced at one, it got me into a minor fight with my wife. It could be something about me touching another woman that she didn't like. We'll never know! So anyway, perhaps I already am beyond the end, where I just don't dance anymore. :scratch_one-s_head:
