Crux's Game of Hide and Seek | {Offline}

LighttheSky's picture
This blog is where we will post when Crux is off into the forest for a game. Clues will be wiped when the session has ended, tally's posted (and screencaps once I can get them working again), and new clues posted next time. Feel free to use the comments section to work out the clues together - some of them may eventually get pretty hard!
We may also post random forest based riddles here as well so check in now and then. Prizes ARE given! Also, PLEASE remember to follow the rules - it's more fun that way.

Prizes: If you catch her, congrats! AND if you identify yourself correctly we will draw you a chibideer! <3 **subject is of your choosing, so it doesn't have to be of the deer that caught her OR you can give it away as a gift by picking someone else's deer to have drawn!

I do take screencaptures of the winners now, and they will get posted here at the end of the game day, but in order to give you the choice of what to have drawn I require you to speak up and let me know the deer/picto you used to catch her.

| Rules and clues below the cut! |

Crux's RULES of Hide and Seek:
1 Easy play (for fauns) = Pictograms ON | HARD play = Turn Pictograms OFF and follow the CLUES ONLY. Crux may be hiding just about anywhere - including IN things, on TOP of things, or UNDER things - so look carefully! She'll usually leave at least a tiny bit showing to make things fair, and will often call if a deer comes close-but-not-quite - so mysterious noises from nowhere are a good indication you've come to the right spot!

2. Pick a spell (any spell) to cast on Crux once you find her! This lets her know you are playing the game. Once you think you've found her (you're spell symbol should light right up, hehe!) cast away!

3. First deer to spell her gets shape shifted and danced on and then she'll be off again to collect her next spell and then move to her new hiding place! (If more than one deer finds her at once expect a crazydance party to ensue.) Feel free to follow her to the mushroom circle and play again, but...

4. IF you catch Crux sleeping in a mushroom circle please don't follow her when she runs off unless invited (foot tapping + head nod + trot off & repeat). It's CHEATING and she will lead you on a merry chase. >:D She has yet to be caught unless she actually wants to be. (more on her abilities in her bio)

it should go without saying that cheating of any kind ruins the game and takes away the fun from everyone.

| Session 2: September 8th, 2013 |

1.)
Guardian sentries, fallen down;
Memories buried in the ground;
Deep within the halls of stone;
Dancing in this hallowed home.


*Crux was blown out of the wall with the force of her own minideer spell* Other deer: AGHHH!!!! RUNAWAY!!



2.)
Touch the earth and touch the sky;
Somewhere in between am I;
No voice to hear, yet bark I make;
Somewhere between the stones and lake.




3.)
Waters wash away colors true;
Replacing them with slimy blue;
One side safe the other not;
Beneath the arch I can be caught.




Crux was caught at all three locations today! If one of these is your deer, post your request and I'll scribble you a chibi! Today was really hard, as there were so many deer lingering around her hiding places that it took a long time to work her way in. <>.<> (and then she somehow lost her antlers which made hiding even harder!)

Other captures/random fun!:



SOOOOO close, little faun! I almost spelled you just for fun. <>.<;>

Somehow I missed capturing the trolling of Nemesis at the oak tree! Random captures are random, sadly. *pokes the capture function with the spork-of-fixing* But it should have gone here.


Alright Horse, hold still! SEED CANNON LOCKED AND LOADED! Let's wake up that lazy deer!!



As a general rule, Crux only counts successful captures as ones that actually spell her. If you find her and then run off she will likely not be in the same location when you get back, so it's always a good idea to carry a spell when hunting the doe.

Nemesis found Crux under the rocks but you don't have to draw anything for me, I participated for fun and not because of the prize. Smiling

Flyleaf - It is a setting you

Flyleaf - It is a setting you can change in the game menu under 'display' I believe, it's one of those option tabs you click that is something like 'show player identification' and you just un-select it.

Hehe, I don't mind at all

Hehe, I don't mind at all having the fodder to scribble. If you have no preference I'll scribble Nemesis at random then.

& I hope people all will participate because it's fun, so thank you! <3 The art prizes are there because I get bored while Crux is in the longer hiding sessions and because sometimes it has taken a long while to find her and I believe patience and persistence should be rewarded. <>.<'>

Oh my gosh, this sounds so

Oh my gosh, this sounds so much fun. XD Track!

(edit) I must have walked past you hidden in that tree a couple times?! Though I'm not sure if you still hadn't got a spell or whatever. I tried checking all mushroom circles and didn't see you. Gosh, playing without pictogram's is so fun. :'D
I'm sitting around near the pond so I can't see which direction she runs off into for the next one. ;-; teehee. Was that the first? Second..?

Crux really is mischievous!

Crux really is mischievous! Nemesis was totally trolled by her in the Old Oak! Laughing out loud (played with pictograms turned off, afraid not to spell the wrong deer and this happened...) Laughing out loud

I take it the game is over?

I take it the game is over? Crux wasn't where the last set of clues said, so is that the same as being done? Or, since I decided to see if Cruz was in a mushroom circle or something, and found Crux at another spot, do I need to wait until someone else guesses it, Crux moves, and try again?

Seed - Crux can be in any of

Seed - Crux can be in any of the three locations at any point in her hiding. She'll even move about at the last moment if she thinks someone has seen her in-process of hiding. So the clues aren't necessarily in order. If you think you've caught her though, don't hesitate to cast a spell. Finding her but not casting anything will cause her to run off and try again.

She'll also hide at random in other places at times too afterwards, but she won't be carrying a shapeshifting spell on her after the first three times.



Today hiding was extra difficult for her as there were so many deer about! <>.<;> Whew!
I'll be posting screencaps of the deer that caught her the first three times soon (plus the crazy dance party with Seed and another deer!) and chibis shall begin.

It was a lot of fun! Thankyou! :D

It's really generous of you to offer a chibi drawing sddfj ;_; I feel bad taking up the offer but I can't resist.. Your art is too beautiful.. v_v
My Skuller found her with this picto. :3 If I could have a chibi of him, it would be awesome. <33

I'll probably just find her the once next time, and leave it at that.. so others have a chance.. x'D /got too caught up in the fun of it all

Raktea - I wasn't expecting

Raktea - I wasn't expecting it to be so busy or for there to be so many deer involved, since most of the time when I am online it has been very quiet in the forest lately. Hehe, but you are more than welcome to the chibi! <3 Skuller it is! <^.^>

Chibis are finished!

Here is Nemesis:


& One for Skuller:



To all those playing: Do remember that Crux will ONLY count you as successful at capturing her if you cast a spell on her to let her know she is, in fact, found. If you run past, stare at her hiding spot for an hour, or stand there laughing at her she may simply vanish and reappear somewhere else - so when playing it's always a good idea to keep a spell handy! If she gets tired of waiting for you to stop laughing, she may pop out at you anyway before running off to her next hiding place, but she will not count it as being 'caught'. <^.^>

*lol* If you want to still play but want others to have the artwork you can always give it away by pointing me to whoever you'd like to gift. (Such as "Nemesis found you, but I'd like the art to go to ______.") <^.^>

Tera - *lol* Crux was testing a few ideas today in the forest, but as the games themselves take a lot of time I probably won't run any other than on the weekends, if that helps at all?

That's actually good to keep

That's actually good to keep in mind! I'm more likely to have time on the weekends as well. I'll keep my eyes peeled!
