please do not enter, but leave a comment

Hello and welcome to the final GA of the voucher madness, congratulations for reaching this point.

There is a bit of complication though: originally I had no real plans, just thought "cool game, LVL3". Now as the tasks leading here appear to be too different from the "standard" ones, I feel it unjust if someone manages reaching here, but can not enter, because of that LVL3.
Here is the plan: do not enter, but leave a comment. I will delete this GA when it has some 10-12 hours left, and create a whitelist GA for you with this SD:DE, as soon as possible (I am out of GA slots, so I have to wait for one of the other GA-s to succeed first). Of course my whitelist will be reset to contain only those who left a comment here.

please do not enter, but leave a comment

Ehm, if someone gets here, but can not enter because of the LVL3 restriction, please leave a reply to this message. Later I may create a whitelist GA (probably not for this game, sorry).

^ And this was the original idea (the one in the description came later). Now I am not sure which one to pick...

Hi, I made it here with the letters s?H?? + q + O! I am over level 3 and could enter so that seems to render your concerns in the directions moot?

Hi, it is really up to you, but I would like to ask you to not enter this one. The original plan assumed more participants reaching here, far earlier, and without brute-forcing.
See discussion with kukeemon in the voucher-puzzle about my current plan:
"As of now I would like to have the untouched things just time out and will recreate the bigger one as a whitelist GA for everyone who solved at least one of the puzzles."

It did take some effort to brute force my way here with 4 letters and only 2 known positions. May I trade this GA link for the one with 2 entries / 8 comments? Apparently, I missed that one.

Also, there is one more GA with 0 entries / 0 comments. Was that link never made available or did we all miss it?

Trade is no, but I can tell which one contains what
They are the Borderlands 2 DLC-s from the poll:
The one with 0 entries is Psycho Pack (LVL1 restriction), and it is extremely impractical to find, though not entirely impossible
The one with 2 entries is Creature Slaughterdome (no restriction), and in the context of this voucher-event, it was found by "many", just apparently a lot of people do not play Borderlands 2

I believe you that it was a chore to find this, there were 1152 combinations to test. On the other hand, by the disclaimer above this GA could have been deleted 5 hours before this discussion started.

Ah, thanks for the info. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask about a link trade. BL2 is one of my all-time favorite games (606 hours played) but I already own all of the DLC so nothing lost for me there. (I really thought you might hide another GA within the images using different color channels so I modified decode.cs to allow for that but didn't find anything.)

As I said earlier, I will absolutely respect your wishes. I won't force you to either proceed with the GA & get no CV or delete it & lose a GA slot. I'm sorry if my question came across as blackmail or something; I did phrase it as "May I", not "you must do this or be forced into an uncomfortable decision." I hope there's no hard feelings. :)

Yes, I saw your BL2 hours, and while it was not clear if you had all the DLC-s (somehow Steam lists many, but not all), I hoped you had them.
The puzzle solutions are going to be posted tomorrow. You can still try fighting your way to them, but in fact there are lot of other puzzles on the board, like perrolijo's mystical one ending in 3 hours.

That 1152 was 372, I do not know why I multiplied by 4...
