Same here Zarii.. except that since I'm here at work.. I only wrote down the address to the riddle I was currently on.. So, yep ^^ I'm at a standstill myself...

But we can't be backtracking too far

(Hey, I thought we weren't going to have anymore of these riddle types *laughs*)

It has to be somewhere in these lands, right?
I believe so, but damn my memory..

I think i'll stick to eating icecream instead

Btw.. how many of us has reached 59?
 
  • #1,745
hehe i forgot about this one when i said that about the backtracking, but this one isn't that much of backtracking, since it is practically telling you where to go.
i put in an extra clue though, which was meant to be there but which i had forgotten about
 
  • #1,746
Until Greg and Omega get on and see the clues and progress, so far I count you, me, and Speedy makes three.

Oh, if Reggie were here, I think he'd be with us too.

*tugs on Iggy's string* C'mon Iggy! You're the best at backtracking!
 
  • #1,747
I knew we were missing a !-- somewhere XD

Oh noes ; ; *rummages through her satchels*

Wait, did I even have a map in here to begin with?!

*tugs on Zarii's sleeve*

You kept yours, didn't you?

Try and write in the jomathingy.. and se where you end up..we can practically move around all the places we've already visited in aljiba..

  • #1,755
Maybe we are supposed to get past the east bridge ..
Want link to the denismarshthingy again (not that i know if it's the right thing but yeah)
 
  • #1,756
Okay, looking at the map.. I know we're heading in the right direction... and I think I see our destination...

But... how we get there is ... troublesome.
 
  • #1,757
We're pretty much backtracking down to get to...

Given the path we've been taking...

O.o I think I've just confused myself...


Yeah, I totally just went in the wrong direction ^^

Omg.. I get lost even in a cybermap x.x
 
  • #1,758

The names of the locations we're visiting in this riddle aren't just random or made up. They're coming from something else. Do some research on some of the location names and you'll find out where, and from there you can find out the next step.

Obviously the riddle is broken, because the answer simply must be Fidel Alejandro Castro.

In all seriousness for number 56, I have tried the following names (various permutations of each and changes in order, single and multiple words used, .htm and .jpg for each) with no success:
<
Nero Claudius Caesar, Howard Phillip Lovecraft, Vlad Dracul Tepes, Dracula and various synonyms, Erida and various synonyms, Dea and various synonyms, Camilla / carmilla and various synonyms, Luke and various titles for him, Judas Iscariot and several titles and variations.[/color]>

I'm gearing up to do some more research, but this is what I've eliminated so far.

Am I moving in the right direction with this?
