i61 iHunt: Guesses Hall of Fame

2. September, 2017

"CAN THE IHUNT TEAM STILL SEE EVERYTHING ENTERED???" — Steampunk_Sam (RGBeeGees) for From the Shadows

Yes, yes we can. And so we thought we'd bring you some of our favourite guesses from the iHunt at i61.

In total, there were 9635 guesses, (of which 77 were trying the transmission content from the finale!) The person who guessed the most was Manituo with 485 guesses, and the team which guessed the most was The Pieces of Shmitt with 850 guesses - representing 5% and 9% of the total guesses each! JGBrock178, who came fourth on a solo team, made more guesses on his own than the entire team of Saor Gamers, who came second.

"sir lampy mclampface" — Tarrenam (XW) for Hunt the Sailors

I'm not sure which lamp that referred to.

"The community team area is about 95 miles away. :(" — Dataforce for Hunt the Sailors

That's your fault for not coming to the LAN >:(

"cock semaphore" — Manituo for Hunt the Sailors

"penis semaphore" — Manituo for Hunt the Sailors

Our reply: "Well HELLO, sailor! Your flagpole is looking very... shiny!"

"64 gallons of Napalm" — Taitenator (Crippling Depression) for From the Shadows

"The Light of Elendil" — Taitenator (Crippling Depression) for From the Shadows

That would indeed light things up!

"Theihuntteamareallevilandneedtobeducttapedtoeachotheronstage" — ZeroG for Mixed Messages

Some of the iHunt team would pay for that privilege.

In response to "you must carefully choose which portal you want to open":

"The one with nice things behind it please" — sedders123 (Crippling Depression) for Mixed Messages

People failing at Mario:

"gary motherfucking oak" — iagowynne (Null reference pointer) for A Pixelated but Impressively-Executed Texture

Your frustration sustain us :) Having difficulty spelling:

"ULTRA HIGH DEFINTION" — Manituo for A Pixelated but Impressively-Executed Texture

"ultra high definiton" — Manituo for A Pixelated but Impressively-Executed Texture

I had no idea this guy existed but what an awesome name:

"Piet Pieterszoon Hein" — Leithall (TaylorMoon) for A Pixelated but Impressively-Executed Texture

Issues with our amazing quadruple-A game:

"Out of habit, I keep trying to crouch and run forward. (Ctrl+W)..." — Dataforce for Safe and Sound

"0118 999 88199 9119 725 ... 3" — Steampunk_Sam (RGBeeGees) for Safe and Sound

Two people on the iHunt team didn't recognise this number and thought you were just guessing random digits. They have been sent for re-education.

"tnetennba" — jith100 for A Garman

"tnetennba" — chuff (Yellows_r_us) for A Garman

"as if tnetennba isn't an unlock" — jith100 for A Garman

You make a good point. Unfortunately the person responsible is already in re-education. (We also added one just for you)

"I like cheese" — ZeroG for A Garman

That's nice ZeroG. Our reply: "We'll come round and blast out YMCA at you"

"I don't want to disturb the guy sitting there" — CodIsAFish (The A Team) for Through the Tubes

That's not how iHunt works!

"thebiggestblackestdick" — Danderlyon (Victorious Secret) for Through the Tubes

Did you mean to put that in pornhub?

Some people got a bit frustrated and typed a lot of garbage:

"qwetqwtgasdg]asd;'/fg]sadg];asd]g;as]dg;]dsagasdg]asdrfasdsadfgasdfr]#" — Rossiboi (The Mighty Mongoloids) for Interchange your Information

"MTk2MzExMjExNzExNDEwMzEwMTAwMA==" — Takamaru (Bruce Hindsyth) for Interchange your Information

We actually decoded some of your base64, I hope you're happy. People had trouble deciphering my layered text without the super-secret method to separate the layers:

Fragsoc, failing to find the start of the morse:

Yellows, unable to draw boxes:

"my box is 200 bloody px wide!" — chuff (Yellows_r_us) for The Perfect Desk Top Computer

Twelve people couldn't tell how many fingers I had and guessed "agliw" instead of "aglow" on The Calm Before The Storm. The Mighty Mongoloids were even sadder than Crippling Depression, saying "sadface" a total of 7 times. A lot of people thought we might have left our answers set to default: 10 guessed "password" to various puzzles. One person who shall remain anonymous got a bit confused with the letters in the Haptics puzzle

"kike" — [a terrible person] for In the Land of the Blind, the One Handed Man is King

I mean, I know we're horrible people but JESUS CHRIST!

And some people may have got a little bit more disheartened than we planned:

"i wish for the sweet release of death" — CodIsAFish (The A Team) for In the Land of the Blind, the One Handed Man is King

Though the most memorable guess has got to be the following, by ZeroG:

“Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running Go save Princess Peach! Go! Today, full of energy, Mario runs Today, full of energy, jumping!
