Same here, it was a bit more complicated though. zelghadis made a bad joke about my person on the public Steam chat ruining my chance to make friends/be one of the true members of the group (I hope You know how it works and what I mean). I complained about it on his private chat. He said I made "a drama" and here I am - blacklist! He don't even want to understand or give me an opportunity to explain... really childish... (maybe here is a connection to the emoticons? :) )

that's not a reason you got on BlackList - once again I cannot tell why you get there (calling out) - but you're one of the people who deserves blacklist the MOST.
So stop posting bullshit about me and my blacklist - you know exactly why you got there (you even PMed me today about it), so you're just spreading lies.
F*CK YOU.

LAST STAGE: After all this you were given a simple puzzle: sqrt(4)(1 letter) MOST COMMON BAN ON STEAM(3 capital letters) v(1 letter xD).
QUESTIONS IDEAS:
I got asked where did I come with ideas for each question, so here's an answer:
Q1. I googled lego, but didn't wast something as obvious as Legoland, then I found address for this shop and it had big blocks next to a road xD
Q2. Found on some site with interesting locations on street view :>
Q3. I've been to gamescom in koln and I've been on this bridge with all these locks - it's actually very close to where gamescom takes place - so that's where idea came from :>
Q4. I have many friends from russia in my Steam Groups and wanted to do something for them, and when I think Russia - I think Kremlin - so I wandered a little on Kremlin using Street View looking around and then saw this Samsung Logo :>
Q5. An big Manga nad Anime fan I wanted to do something related based in Japan. But also wanted it to be something more popular, not just a niche few otakus would know about. So 1st I researched Studio Ghibli - but it was normally looking building, just with small name-plate in front - but during research I found location for Ghibli Museum :> I wandered around a lot and generally loved the whole park, so that's idea behind that question :>
Q6. This one I designed especially for Nonos xD I was thinking France, and when you think Frane you think Eiffel Tower :> and I found this little spot with street view from plaza, not from a street, looked around, seen Cross and thought "Cross = PS Pad" xD
Q7. This one I found here. I love Top Gear, so I love Stig so had to add it there :> just walked a little bit so he wouldn't be visible right away :>
Q8. I'm from Poland so I had to add it here :>
Q9. Found it looking for "unusual" street view pictures :>
Q10. Found a nun on StreetViewFunny, then looked around and it turned out the closest hotel have it's webpade with link to google maps, so I used it :>
Q11. Wanted to do something in New York - Originally Q was about counting how many cars are parked between Broadway and Amsterdam Awe, but as I didn't know should I count this white car and wasn't sure for some others are they parked or just staying there for a moment I decided to go with White Car that was just parking :>
Q12. When I was in Holland I loved the small narrow streets next to canals, all these boats etc, so wanted to do something here, Was wandering around on Street View and I found this pub :> Wanted people to explore a little bit, look how beautiful it is, that's why you needed to turn to find it :>
Q13. Found Darth Vader on StreetViewFunny. Then looked around for something I may ask about and seen this giant banner at other side of the street. Also if someone doesn't find Vader it's hard to bruteforce, as there are shitloads of banners on whole Hollywood Ave :>
Q14. My friend who always solves my puzzles and I was sure he's gonna solve this one as well loves Garfield. So I researched for something Garfield Related on Street View and found that xD
Q15. It was designed as a lazy time-waster and it's easy to misscount especially when street view lags, so I thought it would be an awesome idea to mess up with solvers :>
