So, someone leaked my puzzles... (DELETING EVERYTHING)

this is why we can't have nice things

Well,shit.
Sorry to hear that.

Edit:Whaaaaaaaaat?Is someone really created an account just to post giveaway links to certain grup pages.Now I am mad.

As much as I hate puzzles at times, people that leak hidden puzzle giveaways are not good people.

Restart the giveaways and make them harder.

That sucks, and the fun is in solving the puzzle, I love hitting my head against a wall because I cant figure them out :p

I didn't even tried to solve them but to bad for the people that solved them... t... Leave the puzzle like that... If you whitelist all,maybe you will whitelist the leaker too...

Since the puzzles are over, will you be sharing the answers? The only one I was missing is question 2 of normal.
And good luck with whichever way you choose to deal with this.

Awww that really sucks. They were quite the challenge and it was fun to search out all the games I had never seen before. Don't know what to suggest, it's just a shame that some idiot has to spoil it for everyone. For whatever it's worth I just want to say thank you for the fun! Keep smilin'

Fuuuuck, that sucks, do what you gotta do I guess, I won't be mad if you delete them.

I went with scrapping the puzzles. Those things always get shared. Generally, I think you have less problems with people with higher CL.

Owwww :(
I guess the solution you're proposing sounds good, I still hadn't solved the mid puzzle though :x

I prefer delete the giveaway, but your solution looks fine. Hope it works.

sorry to hear that..
your solution is the best we can hope for.
speaking of solutions..can you post solution to all puzzles?

Sorry that happened! Seems really weird someone would go through all that just to leak you're puzzle. PEOPLE! :/

I dont get it why ppl leak puzzles..less chances to win and discourages the creator to do more stuff like this...

in this group's front page "I WRESTLE WITH MANLY CREATURES SUCH AS HYDRAS AND BEARS - "
your links have been posted,and not deleted and actually user "Noodles In SOup" is administrator there (the one who entered and pretended to my question to not know english) LoL

Somebody who was blacklisted by you maybe? Solved the puzzle, found out they couldn't enter and got upset?
I think it can be only possible reason other one could be only if he is crazy

Just saw your giveaways being posted on a Steam group

yeah it was posted on Original Traders Group

I removed all my entries.

That sucks. I remember people asking for answers for my puzzles around the web, and they all got reported and blacklisted, but I don't know of anyone doing something this horrible. Not sure what I would do.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that you manage to track down this idiot. I just can't believe someone would even create another account just to mess with you ( and all the legitimate solvers). Good luck Dunther, I hope that your next puzzle won't have any problems!

I took one look at the video, crapped my pants, and quickly fled the scene...I never saw anything else about it after that point, until now of course, and I STILL crap myself when thinking about it all...so I'm staying out of this decision except to vote for potato

You learned your lesson: don't do puzzles again.
Voted for this 1 .

that too bad, but i still think you just del it .for less trouble

I saw the leaked one, missed the giveaway. I didn't take part as I thought it would be not fair for the others who solved them, but also I think blacklisting everyone who did is kind of a harsh steamroller way of resolving matters. There's no way to tell what intentions each person who found a link had and there are always new people who don't have the experience to understand how this whole thing works and could fall into making a mistake (or two)..

Oh man, that's crappy news. I had forgotten about this since the original post and the vids were private. I had meant to take a look originally and have a go but I hadn't seen the post since. Will probably still have a look at the vids if you are keeping them up. In regards to the giveaways, just ditch them, maybe even send a request to support to remove the deleted ones from your account explaing why. Hopefully you won't lose any earned slots you have. Start afresh and maybe even ask the original solvers for ideas if you plan to re-do it, give a bit of ease to yourself.
