You're welcome. Sorry for the lack of puzzles today I have been going from one contest to another giving away artz in game.
One event seems to finish just in time to run and start the next one.
Also these puzzles apparently take longer to come up with than they do to solve.

Back at it until the 8pm CC though and should be several coming up soon and afterwards until 10pm.

of your choice (she specializes in female pin up though FYI) from Nojitsu.

2. Solve it.

Everyone got the zone easy. Guesses went all over the place with the puzzle solve.
First to get the right answer was Llydia!
Congratz!

1. I am in Steel Canyon
2. Kheldarn (forumite) Kheldian - Ian + Darning (the type of needle) - Ing (the bank with that logo)

Well that is all for tonight. No more in game events planned.
There may be a few puzzles yet during the week as there are a couple artists who's schedules are uncertain. If they commit a prize yet I will come up with a puzzle to give it away. If not thanks everyone one who participated.
P.S. There is still one more "guess the number and win" Pirate Cashoo bust + Xenophage colors going up yet in the 606. It will run overnight and I will announce the winner tomorrow.
Goodnight!

Well played... very well played indeed!!

Congratulations, Llydia!
And thank you a ton, CR. Fantastic job on these puzzles and doing all of this!

You're welcome and thanks Electric Knight.
I thought that one might be a bit hard but acting as someone who didn't know the
answer or have any idea what the last two parts meant I just googled "orange lion" and
found the Ing bank all over the first page of results and "types of curved needles"
found darning quickly as well so I figured it was workable.

***Also***

I may have another prize or two to give yet. Randy Kintz had no internet access over the weekend and was not able to confirm his prize before Sunday but may still want me to give it. Might be another as well. I will post more as I tie up loose ends and help a few people get suitable refs taken to send to the relevant artists. Still a Cashoo bust + Xenophage colors up for grabs in the 606 yet too.

Oh god, I have no idea.

Yeah... that second one, I know what each of the images is, but I have absolutely no idea how to put them together in anything approaching sensible.

The first one goes straight past me.

Edit: Then I figured out the second, but have no idea about the first.

Not telling - I just had a flash of inspiration and sent in an answer.

Still open.
And I'd prefer if no one posts hints or gives away a partial answer because
if two people each give half the answer who gets the prize?

There are hints in the images if you look.

DingDingDing! We have a winner! First to get all parts correct... congratulations TheHeroMaster!

1. William Square Marker (NW area in Founder's Falls)

2. The Midnighter Club

Got another prize by ZoeTrooper to give out... this time a color painting!


Had a request to "please explain the puzzle after someone gets it right." Sooo...

f.y.i. The word William stacked in the shape of a square and the word Sharpie backwards
(the clues being the first letter S is capitalized at the end and the font is similar to their logo).
The word Sharpie has been synonymous with markers since 1964 and they are sold
in more than 20 countries.

f.y.i. Mid's Hero Designer (often just called Mids)
Batman (also called the Dark Knight except here he is not dark at all, so just Knight)
Emergency Room like the ones you beam to when you are defeated in game (often abbreviated ER)
The green stone "Mere" used by the Maori warriors (it's a club)... where was Comrade Hero on this one?
Mid +Knight +ER +Club

Congratulations, TheHeroMaster!

Thank you for spelling it out, ChristopherRobin. When I first saw the answers (no where close to my mulling) in the post I scrolled up and still couldn't figure it out. Then I read the rest of your post and finally could see how to arrive at the answer.

Woooohooooo!!!

Took me a while to figure out the marker bit but as soon as I saw that it was Sharpie backwards it hit me. Jeez I wish I had known about this event sooner I love puzzles!

I overthought the marker thing - I thought it referred to the badge marker in William's Square, which is Guardian Angel - and, if you go villain-side, the badge is 'reversed' to Barely Contained.
