How about a nice little group puzzle?!
Reserved in case hints are needed, but I know you can do it on without my help! :D

- fixed an error in jigidi "e" - thanks, Nordhbane
- error in ITH fixed (already solved though)

Okay, let's help you guys out a little, since it seems the group at the current stage isn't big enough to solve the last few questions.
I like music.
Comment has been collapsed.
okay, hint for the last open ITH question: I have 112 scrobbles for that particular album.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pfff. Now "solving" that is not exactly something I can be proud of :P But at least I can still think I did actually recognize something -- I definitely had that album in my hands often enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why do you have all my music? It's not normal anymore XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Well only the good ones ;) There's lots of stuff you scrobbled that I never heard of -- and I'm pretty sure I like stuff you'd hate (or wouldn't even consider music :D).
But thanks for bringing up Flobots :) ... don't know how I could forget about them so completely.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had forgotten about them too - I don't have enough space for all my CDs, so I threw out a whole bunch of jewel cases and put the discs in a binder and all the album art in a box. For the puzzle I went through the box to find stuff, and there were so many albums I didn't even remember I owned XD
(btw you should check out Astronautalis, who I just realized opened for Flobots and Tegan and Sara at one time or another. He's pretty awesome and, um, intense ^^)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm only 4 songs in, but ... he's not only pretty awesome and intense, but also passing through next week. Hmm. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't even know he was back :O
He's super-awesome live in person! Already saw him twice, first time when he opened for Tegan & Sara, didn't know him then and didn't like what I had listened to before the concert (1 or 2 songs off of one of my now favorite albums) because I couldn't really tell what it was supposed to be, but after seeing him live I bought all the CDs he had with him at the merch table :)
I'll probably miss him this time though (can't make it to Berlin in the middle of the week ... but maybe Dresden, hm :/)

I just remembered I could just log in to my ancient last.fm account ...
Your compatibility with nelstar is Low.
... so much for that :D and then I looked at what I scrobbled and realized what ... erm ... phase of my life that was and ... yeah ... I think my compatibility with myself is low.

Don't forget to check this thread - not for hints, just extra GAs :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't know if this will help, but here's a hint. I'll try to come up with something better later tonight if you still need it solved, no new hints from me :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump!
I'll dismantle the trains in about an hour and post individual SGT links to get the last few games with less than 5 entries up to 5, so solve it while you still can :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Tried abbreviating the UV-light in the same manner as UOLOR, but didn't lead to an ITH page.
I wonder if the numbers in the source is some sort of interval from the word they are next to, or if they point to something else. They are both next to words where the first two letters would be TH.
Comment has been collapsed.
The numbers in the source add up to 5 from what I'm seeing.. perhaps they lead to a past giveaway page?
Not sure how to apply them yet..
Comment has been collapsed.
I keep staring at nellyneko's avatar like that might be some clue there or something... But so far I've come up with nothing...
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump! Nothing yet... Will wait for a h...
No hints? :(
Edit: If you guys notice, his image is different from the image in his profile, is that even useful info? :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe he haven't synced yet. The one seen here is the normal one at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
okay, synced it now, but
a) I'm not a he ;)
and b) while it is slightly related, my profile image won't help at all, it's not a hint
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump!
How can I participate the giveaways? Thanks!

I've found 8 jigsaws, 'a' to 'h'. Solving each one gives one or two numbers between 1 and 16. Not yet sure what to do with them, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've solved all jigsaws now. Some have the same number. And I wonder what's up with some having a single number and some being divisions.
Comment has been collapsed.
Anyone have any ideas for those numbers on the a-h jigsaws?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I did have a strange idea that they might be connected with the number of pieces for each puzzle after seeing the tab labels next to one another:
a | <number of pieces>
b | <number of pieces>
c | <number of pieces>
...
but couldn't come up with anything.
Comment has been collapsed.
Would be a bit hard to control the number of pieces that exactly though to create something from. Unless the extra numbers is some sort of adjusters.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've never created a Jigidi puzzle, so I thought the puzzle creator supplies the picture and then tells the site in how many pieces to cut it up?
But I doubt this has anything to do with the solution. As I said, just a crazy idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
You have some control, but it still has to be even rows so it has to fit in a multiplication table. Like 63 (9x7). You can't get 62 (unless you do 31x2) :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I find a pattern between these numbers and GA titles. But I am still trying to organize the result tho. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Some help for people trying to get to the first bit:
Order of the poll matters, if you have voted, unvote and reload the page to see which order they should be in. Use the numbers hidden in the source to figure out which letters to use from the poll.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do the letters lead to a discussion, GA, Jigidi or ITH code?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't get which letters to use and in which case. I was trying to use the order of the hidden numbers as representing which line to use, and the numbers for which letter, but no success and no idea what the aaAAA... is about.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know either, if I use the first letter of the poll it only gives a nonsensical code :D
Comment has been collapsed.
No idea how to combine the numbers from the source with the poll options. Any hints?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm stuck on that part too, still. I've tried random combinations with the numbers from the source and the poll, only to get nowhere. >.<
Bump~
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, there's just so little to go on :/ My best guess was 1 = 1st poll and 2 = 2nd poll and then somehow I'm supposed to get 5 letters out of that :D We're apparently missing something quite obvious since others are far ahead of us. If I ever figure it out I'll try to help you get it too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Perhaps something like there being 3 hidden things in the source, and 3 poll options. You do the math from there. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I wrote that when this first started, still haven't figured out how to apply it. ;P
Numerous combinations with no luck~
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you make sure the poll options are in the original position? Unvote and reload the page if you have voted.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did, I'm just slow~ <3
I'll get it eventually.. I hope.
Comment has been collapsed.
You should be able to solve it with Nordhbane's clue.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it wasn't that, I'm just dumb~
I tried this puzzle yesterday when I was half asleep and correctly got the answer but forgot the " / " at the end. Since it didn't work I didn't bother revisiting that first answer until now. >.<
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh that's terrible, you had the answer all along! I could totally see myself doing the same though. Sleepy brain, is bad brain. At least we finally made it to the next part :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's ok, I was even more dumb. I didn't even see the first hidden link until my third time looking at the source. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel dumb :D On to part two, solving jigidi puzzles!
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel like I've seen your name before (but I could be mistaken). Yes, that exactly how I felt. I like you, you understand the poetry of communicating through gifs :D I was like:

WARNING: This is my post of frustration, where I post gifs to vent, no need to reply to this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Read through all of Nordbhane's clues in this thread and you will get it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I still don't.
Is the aaAAA thing a clue?
What I tried was reducing the poll options to their initials and then take the ones matching the hidden numbers from the corresponding lines, but nothing. I've tried capitalizing based on AaAaAA!!! and aaAAA, but no luck...
Do I index the letters as 12345?
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solved the first part, but not the second (yet).
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for reaching the next stage, despite an error in the code. I've added you Nelly to tell you about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, so next stage (Stage 3) is a group ITH page. And since we can share anything except answers, links and codes, I'm going to share the Title, Description and Question 1 of it to see if anyone can come up with what it's about.
Title: Let it
Description: Manhattan Ave. lemongrass bushes lead me.
Question 1: "A rad crown," Roy yawns
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, can't quite get there yet... that's what a-h should lead me to, right?
Sounds very anagrammy to me...
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, seems like the questions are mostly anagrams of song titles. Mostly classic rock. Missing 4 titles and then there are 4 questions with images of closeups from paintings. Can someone come up with a song title about a zebra-striped shirt?
Comment has been collapsed.
My assumption was that those are parts of the cover art or something, but I'm terrible at music...

I've tried some of the most fitting songs from that list on Q3 to see if it can be something like that.
Also tried (Little/) Red Dress for Q8
Comment has been collapsed.
Asked Nelly if I could post one of the images, and she agreed it was fine.
So, does anyone recognize this?
Comment has been collapsed.
Just reached that point too... dunno what the images are tho...
Comment has been collapsed.
Asked my sis cause she's more into music then me... Her reply to this one: "I think I have a blanket with a similar pattern"... sadly not very helpful :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Rushed through the puzzle, arrived at the ITH, saw this image and thought "damn, I know that one" ... but wow, I just can't remember ... maybe my subconscious will help.
...
But maybe it won't, maybe I'm just imagining things at have never seen that before. shrug
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm ... I still have the feeling I've seen that before ... but going through the rest of the answers more carefully, I realized I know the Flobots album and it has tiny birds, too -- so maybe just reading "Fight with Tools" tipped me off in the wrong direction :/ ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, I haven't found the "d" Jigsaw. There is not much of a point solving the rest if I can't find that one.
EDIT: Okay, I found "d". I know why I didn't before -_-
Comment has been collapsed.
thank you :3
since you are into jigs ;3 maybe you want to solve mine
though it is just a jig, not as great as your event
but i have not that much time (and fantasy) :3
Comment has been collapsed.
o..k
i missed one jig completely guess sound related
and one code does not lead to one, so probably need to do with it first
but the other 6 are done :3
Comment has been collapsed.
To find d you need to go back.
For g notice how URLs on jigidi looks and try to understand what makes the one that don't lead anywhere different.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been "working" on this for a while now, mostly thinking about stuff and collecting games to give away. After some recent lucky wins and at the rate games are getting bundled these days, I decided to just post what I have and simply leave out any hints I might've added, let you guys figure it out on your own ;)
Rules
Prizes
GAs end on Sunday, May 22nd, at 10pm CEST (may be extended if you don't make it till then, but that's unlikely)
Good luck everyone, and have fun! :D
Thanks everyone for participating! :D
