Public Service Announcement: Interview with OGrady inside! (Also: New private giveaway)

Closed
OGrady

Obviously my last puzzle was too hard - nobody entered. I promise to make it a little easier this time around. However, before we start... the title promised an interview. This interview might explain a little about my motivation, about what I do and about the last giveaway. It also allows me to show off my German expressionist attire (Ja, Lebowski, ve are nihilsts. Ve don't believe in anythink.)

Watch it here

Yes, this was the best take.

Now to get back into character. Ahem...

Ankh wedia seneb.

I am Meretseger.

Yet again I call you to respect my demands. I have a boon to bestow upon you - IF I deem you worthy. Your instructions are to offer me what I like. Direct your prayers to fsau@gmx.de and I may gift you the boon of my knowledge. I repeat your instructions:
Give me what I like. Bring it to fsau@gmx.de. If your offering is not acceptable, there will be no answer. If you have disgraced yourself in my eyes before, you may as well drag yourself through the sand and the mud, for you shall never receive my gift.

Okay... Yeah, the last one was hard. ^_^' I thought it was an in-game puzzle and skipped right over it. I even looked at the first clue and said "that's map coordinates... pass!" Now I feel dumb.

I entered the giveaway but OGrady told me i cheated on his last one so i wont get it even when i win.
Getting an e-mail from him acusing me of such a thing was way over it without any proof.
I am still pissed off about it.

Aw. So you did not use Yahoo Answers on the last riddle but figured it out yourself?

Well i did actually withdraw because you couldnt be sure who cheated anymore. I even mentioned that in the previous giveaway.
I was trying to be nice and then you give me a lot of crap.
And yes you can read those comments they are all from before this giveaway wich i also hounestly answerd as you could have seen in your mail.
But it's up to you to let me compete or not, you just pissed me of with this.

OK, I want to be fair here: As the list is an organic entity that evolved over time I may have made a mistake. THANKFULLY I have saved the giveaway for later offline use for just this case. I can't check right now, but when I'm home tonight I'll gladly have another look. If I was wrong I have no problem removing you from the list and admitting you to the new giveaway. Deal?

I will assume I made a mistake, because while all my offline versions still show your entry, I did give another clue in response to your comment in my thread. I assume I checked that. If I haven't then congratulations, bluff worked ;) If I did: Sorry for forgetting to remove you. You are now, of course, welcome to keep your entry in hopes of winning. I will also correct the list, both my offline and the shared online version.

Qerf on the other hand....
Let me put it this way: Kids, if you're going to cheat, keep your head somewhat low. If you really need to display your rage at being called out, please don't do it in a way that makes you look really, really silly.

Seeing the post above, I'm a little concerned now. You haven't labelled me a cheater as well, have you? =/

Nope. If you don't know if you are on the list, but didn't do anything, you're not on the list ;)

First sentence.

Anyway, seems a lot of people didn't really get it; I'd estimate a little more than a third of all mails offered the correct gift.

Is there a new giveaway, or will it be any new one soon? If so, could you post the link (to the puzzle) here?

I haven't decided yet, but I don't think so. However, in case I do open another giveaway it will be in a new thread.
