Hellow Everybody!

And welcome to my comeback-apology-request-puzzle-train discussion!

tl;dr I came back after a 2 years absence since I need your priceless help to get feedbacks on a website I've created (+ there is a puzzle that leads to a 17 GAs train in this discussion, even for people who don't feel like giving their feedback)

Wait, wait, wait... let me explain:

  1. This is both a comeback and an apology for being MIA for 2 years... While I have always enjoyed spending time with this awesome community and creating brain-twisting puzzles, as for many of us, RL got in the way, the stars aligned, and study+job+private life gave me a hard time during the same period.

    • Let me be clear, they did not just gave me a hard time, in these two years I did a ton of things, such as finding my dream job, moving out with my girlfriend and many other things that I don't want to bore you with, but well... even if I wasn't here, every now and then, my thoughts went to my favourite online community.
  2. That said, the request part is also somewhat related to my job: let's just say that the team I am working with (as an EN>IT translator) has created a website and we will soon be using that website so we need it to be as user-friendly and beautiful as possible. And this is where you can immensely help us, by browsing a couple of minutes the Found in Translation website and then fill up this form.

    • I don't want to spoil you too much 😏 but... from my experience I've met a lot of great (and smart) people around here, so I am sure your opinions are very valuable. Also, if you want to hear more about what we do in Found in Translation and our story, I will later add a paragraph at the end of this discussion, but now let's proceed to the following point, as the giveaways clock is already ticking.
  3. Speaking of giveaways, where is the 17-GAs-train??? Well, I've said there is a puzzle as well, ain't it? 😏 I won't say no more, just know it is not nasty like one of my old puzzles, but also not so obvious.





Please remember to bump the discussion
Please do not disclose any solution or hint with other users in order not to spoil the puzzle (and their fun)
Keep in mind that all GAs are LVL 1+ restricted
List of GAs behind the puzzle: Of Orcs And Men---Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth---Mini Thief---Torchlight---Paradise Lost---Black Future '88---Two Worlds II HD - Call of the Tenebrae---Fated Souls 3---Orcs Must Die! 2---The Last Tinkerβ„’: City of Colors---The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia (2 Copies)---Evergarden-Heli Heroes---Cities in Motion 2---Men of War: Assault Squad---Red Wings: Aces of the Sky---Kingdom Wars 2: Definitive Edition
Welp, there are three days remaining and some of you had a hard time trying to even find the puzzle so I guess it's time to share two hints on stuff you've directly asked me:
1. For the ones who cannot find the puzzle, I can tell you that a requirement is knowing this vital part of SG, and I'll say a little more: it is about exploiting the custom link creation
2. The god: we are talking about Romans, not Greeks, and this should boil down your options to just one

...and most important of all, always remember that...

Should I disclose the games that are hidden behind my not-so-evil-but-not-so-easy puzzle?

Hell yeah, I just want to know what I am sweating for!
No, I just like the thrill of brain-teasers for the sake of brain-teasing.
I am just here to help with the website feedback so... dunno.

Bump!

There is only one reason if your texts are not as good as they should be: you do not care about your business.

That seems a bit harsh and unnecessarily aggressive. Everything else about the website pretty much says "hey, don't sweat it, we're here to help!" but this leans more towards "hey, you suck, you better ask us for help."

That was something we thought as well when writing it, but power words (or sentences) sometimes might be more helpful than harmful. That said we are taking into account every feedback (even the ones we don't apply immediately) so keep them coming, people, you are awesome! πŸ™πŸΌ

"Our Contact" should be "Contact Us", no? Also, English doesn't really say need a quotation, it's need a quote. The order doesn't feel like it fits bc you have put your email in, then way further down, contact us. Finally, on the email input, spam doesn't need to be capitalized. Maybe EVER but not SPAM. Filled out the form.

Tried to get the giveaway to work but haven't as I thought I knew them but the link doesn't work.

Thank you for the multiple suggestions, the only one I am not sure about is the quotation one: even if they became interchangeable, formally speaking, shouldn't the "quote" be used only when it is a verb? Of course we do not want to be too formal but neither we want to be too informal.

In American English (I really can't speak for British or other English dialects), we only really say request a quote as instead of a verb, it's become just a word for a price. Quotation is the long form of quote and is mainly used in sentences like: quoting (verb form) a quote (short for quotation). Or like "this is a quote from Edgar Allan Poe's book". And I'm sure that requesting a quotation is technically the longer/more formal way of saying it, but no one really says that in English, as it sounds like I'm requesting a quote from a book.

I totally get what you're saying about making it sound more formal, but people don't really say request a quotation, and when paired with a website about language, can make it seem like I would request a passage from a book at first glance. It's just something small in English that while seems correct when looking at grammar, just sounds wrong to the native reader.

Someone else may feel more strongly that "Need a Quotation" sounds more proper than "Need a Quote" but most businesses use request a quote, not request a quotation.

Thank you for this clarification, it really slipped our attention and really makes a difference between native and non-native nuance πŸ˜‰

Bumping for now. Gonna have to come back to this later. Got the answers to the riddles... I think?

Just not sure what to do with the answers. Might be too new to the site to know all the tricks of the trade, but I'll try some more things later.

I appreciate the hint.
I tried that, so either I have the answers to one or more of the riddles incorrect or am doing something else wrong

Don feel bad. I'm stuck with 3 possible answers for 2 of the questions. So am kinda stuck.

Others had to brute force the last question or 2.

If you created a puzzle on the https://2solve.me/, it would be a little easier to understand in which question you were wrong.

You said that some questions give pretty clear answers, but all people are different =)

You could use this to give new people a chance to see exactly where they are wrong.
For example, I have a problem with God and maybe with the King πŸ˜„

PS: I won't be playing any of these games, so I only have a sporting interest

As someone new to the site, this would have been helpful. I'm not sure which answer I have incorrect and have tried many combinations so far.

Maybe on the next puzzle I won't be as confused :\

Oh mymy, I've been MIA too long. I usually used itstoohard.com and that worked exactly as this one. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore but now that i know this alternative I will definitely use it for future puzzles!
