The Thing

[KeyboardWielder 90]

[For the origins of this game, see: http://cczone.invisi...ndpost__p__2660]

 

In this game, a thing will be described in relation to other things and stuff, none (or very few) of which will be named - and you have to guess what that thing is. As with all site games, CC related things are always more fun.

 

Clear? Good. Let's begin.

 

So I'm talking about that thing in CC - you know, the thing that stops the things, and which you get when that other thing goes in the stuff?

[Green Kitten 15]

Chip Socket?

[Markus 45]

Dirt?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Dirt?

Correct!

 

Who wants to go next?

 

(Note: The thing doesn't necessarily have to be a thing kind of thing: it could be an abstract thiiing (e.g. an explosion), a thingy with other things in it (e.g. a level), or anythink else that you can thing of...)

[geodave 98]

There's that CC thing, ya know, that runs around and bounces off of other things, and in some cases is comes back and sometimes it does other things and in that one ruleset is sort of priedictable.

[jblewis 328]

A walker.

 

There's this CC thing in which things are created that contain other things.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Editor?

[jblewis 328]

Ding!

[KeyboardWielder 90]

I must confess that I'm already getting slightly annoyed by this inanity myself.

 

But anyway, let's try a level: a CCLP3 level - in which you have to send some things into some other things, but you can't, so you put the things between other things and then with the help of some cool stuff you can do it?

[jblewis 328]

You Can't Teach an Old Frog New Tricks?

[geodave 98]

Suspended Animation?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

No and no; and no - it's not one of mine.

The description completely describes the level (and there's also a bit of a hint in the post).

 

- Madhav.

[quiznos00 534]

Annoying Wall

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Yep!

[Flareon350 601]

Ok I think I got this down!

 

So this is a level from CCLP2 -- It has a combination of things that everyone hates, where things that move back and forth with a press of a thing and has 280 things.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Stumped!

[rockdet 99]

That would be Run-a-muck?

[BitBuster 85]

The Parallel Port?

[rockdet 99]

I'm pretty sure you're right, BitBuster. Let's see what Flareon350 had in mind...

[Flareon350 601]

The Parallel Port?

 

Bingo! That's right!

[rockdet 99]

So you know that thing on your Christmas thing, that's also in the thing?

[BigOto2 69]

Stocking? Present? Gift?

[rockdet 99]

No, it's also up in the thing, when it's stuff.

[BigOto2 69]

Christmas lights? The star at the top?

[BitBuster 85]

Candy canes?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

plum?

[rockdet 99]

BigOto2 got it: A star.

[BigOto2 69]

OK, so there's a thing that happens when someone does something in a thing of my creation.

[BitBuster 85]

Chip steps onto fire when pushing aside a block?

[BigOto2 69]

Nope, it happens in my things when someone (possibly me) was recently caught doing something. This thing happened twice in my recent thing about a thing I didn't like.

[Flareon350 601]

False Copyright Claim? LOL

[BigOto2 69]

No... but if one were to falsely claim copyright on one of my things they would be this thing... and then this thing would happen in one of my future things...

[Flareon350 601]

Rants? Videos? Lol I'm just guessing at this point...

[BigOto2 69]

It's also in your thing (@Josh), as of recently... You know, the thing that plays when someone does a bad thing...

[Flareon350 601]

Lying Sack of Crap song?

[BitBuster 85]

The "bummer" sound?

[BigOto2 69]

Josh got it, it was the LSoC song. Now it's his turn.

[Flareon350 601]

OK. There's these thngs in a level of CCLP3, where you go through things and push things to 5 things at the end to get to the thing. It's a pretty frustrating and well-hated thing.

[BitBuster 85]

The blocks in "Caves"?

[Flareon350 601]

The blocks in "Caves"?

 

HOLY CRAP your frickin right about that...Good job! LOL

[BitBuster 85]

Ok, there's this thing in CCLP3 where you use the things to let you get through the things that block you from the exit.

[Flareon350 601]

Guiding the fireballs to hit the trap buttons for you in Fireball Tourism?

[BitBuster 85]

Got it!

 

 

(Methinks these CCLP3-related ones are too easy, perhaps?)

[Flareon350 601]

Lol it seems so. I think we should add some from CCLP2, since it's 10 years old lol

[BitBuster 85]

Hmm...that might not work either.

 

 

"In this level there's a thing where you have to do a thing that you would never guess unless you looked in the editor or tried it 1,000 times, and after doing that thing you have to sidestep the thing that you don't know about because the thing breaks every rule you learned in CC1."

 

 

[That was my description of approximately 34% of CCLP2 levels]

[rockdet 99]

woah... Exit Chip or Debug File? or Parallel Port?

[BitBuster 85]

All of the above...and more!

 

 

 

For bonus points (or an easy route towards developing carpal tunnel syndrome), feel free to type out all the names of the other applicable levels.

[BigOto2 69]

Mouth-Watering

[rockdet 99]

Except I won't agree with your cynicism there, as you're describing a handful of levels which doesn't render proper justice to all the others which were absolutely fantastic (and represent like 130 levels in the lot?!)...

 

Whatever, it's a thing...

 

Oh, and you know that thing that goes in your thing when taken with a thing?

[BigOto2 69]

Daily vitamins?

[rockdet 99]

Not quite. It's not going in the thing, but it's the thing itself, in general.

[BigOto2 69]

Nyquil? Some other liquid medicine? Liquid daily vitamins? The bottle?

[rockdet 99]

It's the thing that goes in your thing several times per day every day, whether you're a thing or not

[BigOto2 69]

Food and drink? Water?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Air?

[rockdet 99]

Food was it. Next one.

[BitBuster 85]

Oh, and you know that thing that goes in your thing when taken with a thing?

 

Just out of curiosity...what's the final "thing"?

[rockdet 99]

it was a fork

[BitBuster 85]

[BigOto2 69]

Uh.... OK. Someone start a new one please, maybe someone who hasn't done one yet?

[Hornlitz 69]

So... It's a CCLP3 level (I don't care if it's easy) where you have to put these things into these other things by getting these things blocking the way.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Flame Thrower?

[rockdet 99]

Map the Path?

[Flareon350 601]

Caves?

[Hornlitz 69]

Madhav got it. First try too :/

Someone else go now.

[rockdet 99]

You know, the thing that's thingy, but exists only at certain parts of the thing, on our things?

[BitBuster 85]

Mouse cursor?

[Hornlitz 69]

The Sun? :/

[KeyboardWielder 90]

nails?

[rockdet 99]

Nope, it's a thing that exists only under certain things, otherwise it's something else, it's thingy and thingy, and relates to the thing.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

socks? mattresses?

[rockdet 99]

It's associated to one of the four things

[BitBuster 85]

Water?

[rockdet 99]

not yet

[BigOto2 69]

Fire? Air? Earth? Oxygen? Hydrogen? Proton?

[rockdet 99]

Nope. It relates to one of the four things of the thing. It exists only under certain things, and it's very thingy.

[BigOto2 69]

It better not have to do with quantum mechanics.

 

Plasma? Water vapor? Smoke? Steam? Fog? Dust? Sand? Star? Sun?

[rockdet 99]

absolutely not

[BigOto2 69]

Suction boots? Flippers? Ice Skates? Fire Boots?

[rockdet 99]

nope. I'm starting to believe that my puzzles are too hard

 

It can't be found everywhere, and it's made of one of the 4 things you found. It's pretty much what makes the one of the 4 things (not the same 4 things as earlier in this sentence, but the same 4 things as earlier in the topic) which it relates to, that thing, above all things.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

snow? ice? cream?

[geodave 98]

Question Mark Face????

[KeyboardWielder 90]

I'm pretty sure the 4 things are seasons...

[BitBuster 85]

But how can something be "made of" one of the seasons? (C.F. post #80) I suppose you could say that "a year" is "made of" the seasons, but that doesn't fit with the rest of the clues.

 

I was thinking of the four elements, and I think some other people were too...

[rockdet 99]

Snow was it. As it seems that I have to justify every use of "thing", let's do it...

 

You know, the thing that's cold, but exists only at certain parts of the year, on our lawns/fields?

It's a thing that exists only under certain temperatures, otherwise it's something else, it's white and cold, and relates to the winter.

It's associated to one of the four seasons.

It relates to one of the four seasons of the year. It exists only under certain temperatures, and it's very cold.

It can't be found everywhere, and it's made of one of the 4 elements you found. It's pretty much what makes the one of the 4 seasons (not the same 4 things as earlier in this sentence, but the same 4 things as earlier in the topic) which it relates to, that season, above all things.

 

To someone else, you may proceed

This game just went from unusually to very silly.

That's mostly what I eventually figured out, except for the lawns/fields, and I thought temperatures was climates.

In the end, it was pretty logical, I guess...

It was the first sentence that was misleading on two counts: "on our" seemed to imply some kind of possession, and "but only at certain parts of the thing" sounds like places of the same thing.

 

Well I guess I'll save myself the trouble of guessing the next one by starting it...

 

It's the thing that you can see in people's things, which is supposedly like their thing. And those who don't have one get the same thingy thing.

[rockdet 99]

a reflexion? a clone? a photograph?

[BitBuster 85]

Line? Future? Fortune?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

... a photograph?

Some might choose to use one as their thing.

[Markus 45]

Profile Picture? Avatar?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

Profile Picture? Avatar?

Avatar it is!

[BigOto2 69]

OK, so there's this thing where you have to get the thing in the thing in order to win, and do so in the least amount of things. It's an Internet thingy.

[Markus 45]

The mini golf game that everyone plays? (I forgot its name)

[rockdet 99]

I think you're right there, Markus

[BigOto2 69]

Yes, hole in 1!

 

Alright, Pieguy's turn now. :-)

[rockdet 99]

Done, removed it, Trevor

 

Oh and you know that thing that keeps you from seeing through the things?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

curtains? lies?

[rockdet 99]

curtains it was. Easy one, I guess.

[Lessinath 45]

(there are multiple correct awnsers to this)

 

The thing that does the related thing that makes the noise that causes the thing to be called the thing.

[KeyboardWielder 90]

burp?

[Lessinath 45]

Not even close to what I had in mind.

[BitBuster 85]

Speaking/shouting/echo? Shotgun?

[BigOto2 69]

A bomb? Alarm clock? Timer?

[KeyboardWielder 90]

loudspeaker / tweeter / woofer?

[Lessinath 45]

A type of speaker would count, as would an alarm.
