If a question doesn't get answered after a while, I'll move it into a seperate section. It can still be answered but won't take up space, and dosn't count towards the two answer at a time limit. My remaining ones are mostly a bit obscue, still, so some clues: Q4. Is from the games, cartoons and choose your own adventure books. Q5. Is just a normal cryptic clue. Practise with some crosswords. Q6... Replay TWW? Q7. You can probably guess which game it's from.

Questions.

Q5. Is just a normal cryptic clue. Practise with some crosswords.

I hate cryptic crosswords, personally.

Q7. You can probably guess which game it's from.

Well, clearly we *can't*... I actually have zero idea. Is it another cryptic question?

And I'm sorry Zol, you're wrong. Surprised nobody's got it yet, it's a fairly big difference. It's behavioral.

[Hero of Slime]

You tell me my questions are bad and then you ask a question that even though I answered it right you tell me I was wrong because that was not the answer you were looking for? Perhaps your question should have read " What do I(Fyxe) think is the most notable difference between the first and second eyegore" The most Notable difference for me was the direction that they face.

Do not tell other people their questions are bad when your's are even more ambiguous.

A game that I think is obscure enough that it's a worthy four pointer... Without reading this game's manual, though, you've no chance.

If you think that's the most notable difference, you're missing something REALLY REALLY BIG. Who the hell notices what direction they're facing? They're both facing Link.

Seriously, your answer is barely notable when compared to the actual answer. Would you get off your high horse? Just because you got the wrong answer doesn't mean it's a bad question. You don't even know the right answer. It's VERY notable. In fact it's bloody hard to miss.

[coinilius]

Name three different horses Link has owned.

I forgot all about the Nintendo Adventure books

The three horses are Epona (OoT, MM), Catherine (the animated series) and Cloud (Nintendo Adventure books).

[Hero of Slime]

Who the hell notices what direction they're facing? They're both facing Link.

Who the hell does not? The first one faces the boss Garo's room while the second one faces the temple entrance.

I am not on any high horse. I only bitch about your questions because you bitched about mine. The fact is your question is an opinion question. At least the answers to my questions are facts.

Zol, the directions an enemy faces really isn't all that noticeable as a 'difference' between them. Is one Moblin different to another because one faces north and one faces south?

[Fyxe]

At least the answers to my questions are facts.

Firstly, what coinlinius said is appropriate, and secondly, wow, you have a serious beef with me for some reason. I had a problem with your questions because they were not Zelda related, as I have already explained. I was not 'bitching' at you. I made it very clear that I wasn't meaning any offense. Whether your question is fact or not it doesn't matter one squat. I could ask a question like yours just to emphasise how silly it really is.

- What two Zelda characters have I used in my various avatars? (2 Points)

See. Just because it has 'Zelda' somewhere in the question doesn't mean it's an appropriate question for the topic.

But anyone can feel free to give an answer anyway. Whether it'll count is another matter.

[Hero of Slime]

But what is most noticeable is an opinion, in the case of this question the difference that I notice first is different from fyxe's. Since fyxe has been telling me that my questions are faulty, I'll tell her that her opinion questions are no better than some one asking "What is the best Zelda game?"

My questions might not have been related to the 12 canon Zelda games, but they were related to Zelda discussions we had in the Zelda forum.

Edited by The Zol, 24 August 2006 - 06:39 PM.

[Fyxe]

It's not an 'opinion' question. If you knew the answer you'd KNOW it's quite *obviously* the most notable difference. It's just a bit of common sense. But you *don't* know the answer so instead you're complaining that it's an opinion based question when it really really isn't.

I'm very tempted to just say the answer but someone is bound to work it out and I'm not going to ruin the question just to make you stop complaining at me. It really IS the most notable difference. It's... Fairly massive.

[Hero of Slime]

What you think is most notable is different from what I think is most notable, that makes the question an opinion. I just don't think that you should be able to post opinion questions while telling me that my questions are not legitimate.

[coinilius]

But the direction an enemy faces is not enough to count as a 'difference' between enemies - a moblin will act the same regardless of if it's facing north, south, east or west. If you walked into a room that had a Moblin facing north, then walked into another that had a moblin facing East, would you have noticed that it was 'different' to the other?

Edited by coinilius, 24 August 2006 - 06:54 PM.

[Fyxe]

Again, Zol, if you knew the answer, you would not think the direction was the most notable thing. It may be the only thing you *remember*, or the only thing you can work out considering the layout of the dungeon, but that doesn't make it more noteworthy than the actual answer.

If I asked you what was the two most notable differences between the first Moblin in the Sacred Forest region of OoT and the last one, you wouldn't say the direction they face in, would you?

[Hero of Slime]

Fyxe did not specify that the difference was an action at first, she just said difference. Direction, even though not really significant, is a difference and is the one that I notice.


Question: How many heart containers can Link find in Subrosia?
(1-Point)

The fact that I did not notice any other difference, shows that what differences are most notable is an opinion question.

Edited by The Zol, 24 August 2006 - 07:02 PM.

[Fyxe]

1. worthy of note or notice; noteworthy:

Your opinion doesn't make anything more or less noteworthy, and whether you noticed it or not doesn't make it less or more *worthy* of note. The fact is, it would of been virtually *impossible* for you not to notice it, you have merely forgotten. That doesn't mean it's less noteworthy just because you can't remember it.

[Showsni]

How do you type a clearing throat noise? Anyway, imagine I did. Back to topic, please...

Coinilius gets the horse one. An dsome stricter rules... Questions should be taken from public knowledge, not related to specific members of the forum. No "Which is my favourite game?" questions. If a question is ambiguous, or has more than one answer, only the answer the setter of the question wants counts.

If this this right, I'm going to be really surprised

[Showsni]

Pawprint Isle it is. Wind directions always refer to where the wind came from.

The second Eyegore FIRES SODDING GREAT BIG LASERS FROM IT'S EYE, YOU CHUMPS.

Sorry, I couldn't stand it any longer. One of the best Zelda games ever and nobody knows a sodding thing about it.

For question 3, would it be Tetra, Gonzo and Niko? I'm going from memory here...

(The Zol) How many heart containers can Link find in Subrosia? (1 Point)

You can buy one piece of heart in Subrosia and you get a heart container after completing level 8, which is located in Subrosia.

Edited by coinilius, 04 September 2006 - 07:50 PM.

[Hero of Slime]

Coinilius is right

Fyxe is wrong, I did not forget that the second eyegore fired lasers from his eye. I had killed the first one so fast I did not notice that he was incapable of shooting anything out of his eyes.

[Showsni]

I'd say I killed the second one too quickly for it to shoot anything, but you'd all know I was lying... Anyone can post questions, remember.

Coinilius is right

Fyxe is wrong, I did not forget that the second eyegore fired lasers from his eye. I had killed the first one so fast I did not notice that he was incapable of shooting anything out of his eyes.

Considering the second one begins firing lasers almost immediately and the first one clearly doesn't, that's not my fault if you missed it.

And I was not WRONG. Because you didn't know the answer didn't mean I'm wrong. Face it. The lasers are easily the most notable difference. You just didn't know the answer. But don't worry, doesn't look like anyone else did.

[Hero of Slime]

You were wrong because you said I forgot, I can not forget what I never knew.

[Fyxe]

I said that you forgot as one of the myriad of possiblities leading to you 'not knowing'. I mean, if you saw the second one firing lasers and didn't see the first one doing it, don't you think you would of suggested that as a possible answer? It's hardly way off the mark for me to suggest that you may have forgotten it.

Why oh why do you keep arguing with me over this? -.- I have no idea what I've done to bug you so bad that you have to harass me over a simple question...
