Welcome to the new weekly game that tests your knowledge of all things Star Wars Galaxies! This is a game we like to call The Riddler!
The rules are pretty simple - I will post a riddle that can be about any item, person, place, or thing in the Star Wars Galaxies universe. The game will continue until the riddle has been solved.
After the riddle has been posted, guesses will only be allowed in the thread until after The Riddler has been solved. Please don?t clutter up the thread by discussing anything else within it until the game is over. After it is, you can discuss The Riddler all you want?but until that time, anyone posting anything other than an answer to The Riddler will have their post removed.
Some will be harder than others so be sure to play every week for your chance to win!
The first person to answer the riddle correctly wins this cool icon and forum title: The Riddler
No edits allowed.
Thank you SOE & LA!!(5) Now, I can celebrate here, in Spain, the 5th year anniversary with a great contest for my spanish community.
It?s an image from somewhere inside the Star Wars Galaxies world. But it?s broken into several puzzle pieces ? and you only get to see a few at a time until someone here on the message board correctly identifies the location depicted in the picture!
What do I get for solving The Puzzler?
If you are the first one to figure out the ?mystery location? by posting it in The Puzzler thread, you will hereby get bestowed upon you the forum title ?Puzzler? along with the cool Puzzler icon.
There is only one winner a week so you have to be quick! The Puzzler ?Rules?
An individual can only win The Puzzler once, so if you?ve already won, please step aside and let others try their hand at it.
After the first set of puzzle pieces are posted, location guesses only will be allowed in the thread until after The Puzzler has been solved. Please don?t clutter the thread up by discussing anything else within it until the game is over. After it is, you can discuss The Puzzler to your heart?s content?but until that time, anyone posting anything other than a location in the thread will have their post removed.
You must be the first person to post the in-game location of the image within 50 units of where the image was taken (for example if the image was taken at 500, -500 and you posted 525, -450 you would be correct).
In the event that 2 people post at the same time on the message board (and the time stamp reflects this), whoever guessed the location within the closest amount of units will be the winner!
Posting Guesses:
Please post The Puzzler guesses in the following format:
Planet: <planet name> Location: 500,-500
Here is this week's Puzzler!
