YAY!!! Thanks Jon!! I am so glad you made another one!!! and so fast!!! Can;t wait to play!!!
I took the advice of my friend....and got another hobby....if my games annoy him/her, that is my new hobby ;)
thanks jon!
Yay! Thanks for another fun game Jon. Keep'em coming :D
Haha! Thx jon!
Thanks Jon!!
Having fun Jon...as usual!! It is nice to have a fun, quick waste of time...
talk to me in the cbox 86ff
86f this kind of post is unnecessary.. plz watch out for the contents of what u're posting
http://www.escapegames24.com/2006/01/chat-box.html
the comments will be deleted anyway....some kid thinking he can cause trouble but won't face me to talk in person
ahh - that ending is so cute!!!
oh - I see the troll is back
So.. back to the game: Level 3 anyone? I'm trying anagramming the first letters but had no luck whatsoever
remember to google Jonthewatch.....find 600,000+ game related posts and not a hint of the garbage said
@Nini - the answer is hidden in the sentence
no anagramming needed....on any level
hey jon - the mama bear is like WTF!
Any hint for level 5 ?
haha.. better if I knew names of countries in english! LOL
LOL nvm got it xD
@Twin - look at the numbers from a different angle
First of the third?
Thanks Jon!! Love the ending!!!
sorry Nini, I do my best to make the games universal...I don't always succeed....
yay! Thx jon that was fun :D
@86ff4042 - you idiot - I wouldn't stoop to replying to you. so what are you going to make up about me?
@annaby - got it, thank you :)
you want a reaction? OK, lets say a Jon Anderson was a sex offender, how many courts say, "Do you go online? If yes, what is your online name? Oh! Jonthewatch, right, thanks Jon, we will post that!" Moron. Please do google me.....gives me more hits on my games! Idiot!
Anyone who hides behind an anonymous name can't be believed! What a coward!!!
86ff (known idiot) won't face me in the chat! Strange that......
deny what? What charge? Sex offender? No, I am not a sex offender, nor am I a troll with too much time on my hands, nor am I a person afraid of a conversation in the chat room to discuss things that you accuse me of. I am, however, a person of honour who will talk with you if you are brave enough.
by the way 86ff, all these comments will be deleted as they are not helping people play the game.....
With that said...Level 8?
86ff.......... if your claims are legit and you can prove them, why won't you go to cbox?
There's an audience there too.
Please keep this forum for the game comments.
go back to the levels and collect letters from answers MusicMan
MusicMan.. did u take note of your previous answers??
And 86ff.. what are u even doing here if u're not interested in playing the game?? Get a life
I just opened your game Jon...and what do i see ? The troll is back again, well i will play the new game when my film has finished :-) Looking forward to it and thx in advance !!!
I would love to see what he thinks he read Cee Bee....I really would. When I google Jonthewatch, I get 670,000 games links
hope you enjoy it Zazie :)
now you have to make WOT 5 jon :D
and 6 and 7 and 8 ..!! Because we'll never stop playing ur games jon!
if it annoys my little friend, I will make it tomorrow :)
our friend has been defeated.....he won't face me and has nothing to prove his allegations.....begone troll.....never show your serial number again....
I sure will enjoy it Jon, because i enjoyed your last one very much !!
I'm being thick on lvl 6 - oh-um, hint please.
Hey, hey hey, it looks like I get in on a live one :o)
Starting now, hopefully I can do it without help lol
Rambler
cee bee - turn the word around ...
think calculator.....turn it u***** d***
Hey @Rambler! :)
hey Rambler, no problem to a master like you!
Annaby! How are you my fine riddling friend? Better than that Super Troll vermin I hope...
LOL!
Stop it Jon, I'm blushing lol
finished thanks for the waste of my time jon would only be wasting it on marv lol :P :D
gee, I don't know if I would call him/her 'super', perhaps 'stupid' or other words beginning with 's'....
Got to level 6 and the obvious doesn't work. Hmm
Tried it backwards and forwards too
@Jon, I meant it as his trollness was beyond normal!!
try standing on your head rambler
@mtatt, done that Sp01134ler
Doesn't work :(
The L's can be a different number, Rambler.
Rambler - those aren't ones
Well duh, thanks both :o)
Sometimes you have to think a little more rather than rushing in.
Onto 8 now...
@Rambler: I'm so glad you got stuck there too - I did the same as you :)
Thanks guys for moving us on!!
yay! Another WOT from jon! Since I never got a reaction from our Troll Who Just Won't Leave, I assume he was too stupid to figure out the riddle I posted for him. No surprises, there.
I'm just glad you're back with a new game (for me to get stuck on, no doubt :)
Thanks again for another fun waste of time Jon :)
I'm open for suggestions for WoT5, just google me or click me to send me ideas. (If you find a sex offender, I will be amazed!)
level 6 5318008 ;)
And I'm done, thanks again Jon.
Hi s-t and zoz my old friends.
Gotta go and walk the dog now.
Hopefully I'll catch you all on the next one..
Rambler
I kind of hang out here on the fringe and usually don't get to games until well after the majority of you have played them, and as a consequence I don't tend to interact much.
But I'm compelled to say that this is quite a nice community here, and I'm glad to be a part of it in whatever small ways I can.
@Zoz, you mean our Troll Who Annoys Team-players?
@Smoke....we have a great family here. Get in the cbox and meet some of the family, you will have friends for life....
Nice to have you here @smokehalo. Hope you make some more live ones soon :)
LOL @ Jon, I like the acronym :o)
See you later...
lol @Mtatt
and lol jon!
people always talk about being in live games, the cbox is always live...sometimes quiet, but always live: http://www.escapegames24.com/2006/01/chat-box.html
How about a hint for 7? please
just enter a nickname and hit profile, you will then enter a password twice, thats it, no email needed, just hit it and go
the first four bars make the letter m on level 7
So now I'm stuck on 7 - missing the obvious for sure (as always :))............ hint please (don't spoil).
just look and make letters for 7
lol - got that far - so that didn't help. It's that 3 that's getting me.
Cee Bee and Marilyn....fight for the finish.....
it's worth it...it is cute....
On level 7 the 3 is an E
hi and bye @Rambler! Yes, jon, that's the one! The Troll Who's A Twit.
and welcome @smokehalo! Pay no mind to the "drama" - it's all good here.
Thanks must go to the troll, I have been getting lots of hits here on EG24 and people playing games I made years ago.....big thanks troll (ps, look for Jonthewatch bank robber, Jonthewatch bigamist, Jonthewatch patricide, Jonthewatch matricide and whatever else you can think of!)
Cute ending - can't believe I almost posted an answer to a level I got stuck on............... derrrr!! :)
Thanks Jon, looking forward to the next release which I hope will be PDQ :)
There must those who track people like the "troll" for prosecution for cyber bullying and defamation of character, if that is indeed warranted.
I, too, enjoy your riddles very much.
@mtatt (2:34pm) 376616
86FF, Are you still here? I thought we got rid of you. My goodness, GIVE IT A REST!!!!!!
Please google this 'fact', report your findings here
I must be daft! Hint on 2 please
I just googled all I could. Our troll is really out of ammo now....what next troll?
Hey, 86ff4042-c0c5-11e2-b1dd-000bcdcb8a73, you dumb fuck. Isn't it time to give your name, so we can Google and make up some things about you as well?
It's so easy to hide behind an anon name and just spreading your filth.
Even too scared to come to c-box to talk face to face.
But yep, that's what a coward does, isn't it?
86FF if you real feel you are in the right, you should go to authorities! What are doing right now is harrassment. This is specifically supposed to be a forum for game tips. Your are in the wrong place to be venting!!!!
lorri morrow,
Level 2 is the same trick as level 1
@lorri. Same as level 1. Find the errors, make a word.
thx. but all I can find is a B and k and r. Can't make word out of that!
NM I got it!
You're missing an A and an E
B-k-r.......find more letters
What time is it in Florida troll?
Sadly, I am stuck on number one.
Brain not working!!! Will try again tomorrow. Jonthewatch, I really liked the first three, so I am giving you a five without finishing it. As I see the "poo" you have had to deal with. Keep making them!!!
Cyberjar88
Look here;
http://www.nationalcenter.org/ChargeoftheLightBrigade.html
and find 5 spelling mistakes
@cyber....find the mistakes and make a word from them
Thanks Lorri :)
Dont worry about the troll. Please google me all you want. I have nothing to hide, which is why my details are available for all to see....unlike a troll who hides behind a random name generator and refuses to face me.
I am stuck on 5
Oh Pop.. got 5
hint for 5 - look at the numbers upside down
Thank you Jon! Great fun once again!!!
Thanks Enjoy, glad you liked it :)
I just went up into my office and it is late. I will have to play tomorrow, but at least i am knowing that there is a cool riddle game waiting for me :-)
What´s up with this scumbag ? He/she is still here ? Why he/she cannot be banned ?
Comments are open for all to post. If they say something wrong, we will remove the comment.
I remember someone went after Yalçın like this recently...
"Sucine" or something, maybe there's a connection ?
Anyway jon, thanks for the late night brain teaser,
I really enjoyed it - with the help of the EG24 Crew.
The World Wide Escape Crew (WWEC) have your back jon!
ok I must be having a slow week...stuck on level 1 i have some letters but not a word.
Dkat...I think you need 5 letters...what do you have?
I have svdgl for level on and maybe n
I assume an a as well
oh...you need the missing letters...v and l are good but not the others
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death,
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
ok for level 1 i have nsvdgl a?
ok I am officially dumb...thanks yoli, :))
no s , d or g
compare both exactly...
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death,
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Half a league, half a league,
Half league onward,
All in the alley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigde!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valey of Death
Rode the six hundred.
no...you are not dumb!! 86ffffffffff is dumb!!!! :)
super...got it finally, thanx so much yoli
lol
Hi everyone and thanks for another fun game Jon. Please keep them coming! I got all the way though this one with only needing one little hint.
@Jon, I just googled you, and I was shocked and amazed by what I found. #1 hit? "Troll Slayer". Followed by
Troll Slaying Ninja
Troll Exterminator
Trollicidal Maniac
... Well, you get the idea. I'm so impressed! Who knew???
Took a bit to see what I was missing in the first one...very tricky, jon.
Once I got past that, though? Smooth sailing to the end. (BTW, gesundheit!)
Level 2 - some online versions say 'soldiers' rather than 'soldier', so I spent ages trying to put in the extra 's'! Never mind - got there in the end!
Seems 86ff is effed
Of sanity this shim is bereft
Thus it is said
Shim's effed in the head
Time shim shut up and left.
Yeah...What she said!!!!
Can only find AVAL in level 1. Getting cross with myself - please help!
Check the authors name Smarties ;)
Now seen missing N in name but still can't move on.
And through! Thanks jon.
Once you get inside my mind....the rest will flow better :)
Thanks again. Why is level 1 always the hardest for me???
Probably because you, like others, need to adjust your thinking.....I get a lot of feedback and I'm often told the first level is the hardest
Playing now and stuck on lvl 3, any help ? Could not find a hint in the comments.
Hi Zazie, read the sentence carefully. Towards the end you will find a country.
Wow!! I just started and see all the aforementioned "drama"
this 86ff troll is really pond scum (that's as nice as I can get without being offensive to other nice folks on this site!) There's a saying that I love to repeat in cases like this:
"What goes around, comes around"
86ff - this will come back to haunt you - you will know it when it happens!!!
POP is working, i have got it :-)
But thx clio !
BTW - Great game jon!!! can't wait for more!
Wow i finished all !! Funny end :-) Thx again Jon for a cool game, i am looking forward to the nextone ..
Luckily I missed the comments of 86ff in the previous game, and I am really stunned after reading his comments in this game. Who is this stupid person coming here just spoiling the mood? Come to cbox.. whoever is there at that time.. will answer you! EG24 is our family.. no place for a POND SCUM (thanks Zoe) like you here.
And my question is why it is not deleted?
faltu:
I must say that maybe it shouldn't be deleted - because it is HELPING jon!!!
lol!!!!!
that was fun, thanks Jon!
I was inspired by Clio....so here goes...
There was a bad little shim
who came to a game on a whim
his purpose it seemed
was to be really mean
but it turned out he was only searching for jizzum!
Can not see level 4 :( Guess I am bad at country names. Anyone around for a hint?
Jo-Ann:
It's a country that begins with (spoiler below)
U
Jo-Ann, Look at the first 3 words
Thank you! could NOT see that!
im stuck on 3 can someone spoil it please
sherry12, look at "help an amateur"
sherry12:
It's the name of a country that is hidden in the sentence-towards the end of the sentence. I'll spoil it below:
panama
Number 4 is the same thingk, but a different country at the beginning of the sentence....
Sherry - if I have the right one - the country is buried in the text - towards the end - think 'hat' or 'canal'!
@donas and zoe thanks so much,
Finished now. The video in the end was worth it! lol
Thanks @Jonthewatch for the game!
Boo to the troll who made scrolling back for hints troublesome.
Looking forward to the next one!
yeah all done
again thanks Jon for the great game
and all the hints from you guys
you are all awesome ...xxx
keep em coming Jon

DKat. close. No "i" and the "n" is a different letter.

DKat,

Thanks for all the helpful hints..:)
any one playing im stuck on level 8
yay i did it :) great game thanks
please help on level 8. Thanks
Please some assistance on level 8. Thanks
@Eyvaughn, I can't remember what it said... something like 'the 1st of the 3rd...
Take the first letter of the answer to level 3 in my example.
Another nice game.
Looking forward to the next.
Thanks again for the hints from all you brainy people.
Having done as much research as our friend 86ff. The Jonathon Anderson I think he relates to lives in Virginia and is 22 years old. So, apart from his name being different, living 3750 miles away and him being half my age.....I suppose I could be him. Funny 86ff didn't think to accuse me of being the legendary guitarist, my name is the same, we are in the same country and closer in age........
Thanks again! And thanks for all the hints too.
surely there must be some way to track down the person who is making such offensive posts and if so jon please sue them for libel for stating such disgusting things, other than that this is a GAMES site so please dont post any more untrue lies about people here
When I got to the last level, I was SO hoping it would spell that! And then when it did I had my fingers crossed for that particular video. You did not disappoint, Jon!
Jonathan Anderson seems like a rather common name. There might even be more than 1 offender with the name. I think it is unconscionable that someone would go around making those kind of libelous claims on sites like this. It is neither the time nor the place.
That said, children on the internet--don't meet people you meet online in person!
My given name is Jon. Not Jonathan or John or any other variant. And Prufrock is exactly right. DO NOT give details online to strangers, not even the town you live in. Stay safe at all times.
To catch a predator was a series on tv that showed just how many sickos there are out there.
oh for gods sake give it a rest and leave us alone to play the games on this site as its not the place for it, if you have a complaint contact the proper authoroties and dont annoy other people with your rantings
Thank you blog admin for removing the offensive blogs!
No help needed this time around...second Waste of Time game for me. Navigable learning curve! I like that in a game series. :)
