If I only knew that I'd end up with cronic heart palpitations and a compressed spine from sitting hunched over a computer all the time, I would never have started down this slippery slope called "mafia".

Interestingly, when i came into the situation, everyone was arguing against her.  She had been banned from MM and I was hosting a game that she signed up for.  Someone PM'd me here and gave me a fair bit of warning about her.  After a bit of investigation, I found people were saying some pretty harsh things about her.  She seemed pretty fine to me.  I tried to help her integrate into the community, but for some reason she thought I was trying to sabotage her.  Eventually, the conversation was reduced to personal attacks.  I eventually said some things I really wish I hadn't.  I blocked her and wouldn't go down that road with her ever again.  Not without very good reason, anyway.

 

I tried to help her and I got burned.  That's my perspective.  If she ever came back, I would stay neutral--no help, no harm.

 

 

Fair enough.  

 

Honestly, though, from the admittedly little I've read, I feel kinda sorry for her.  I had an awkward childhood, being a geek, introvert, one of those creative ppl who are hyper-sensitive (supposedly it's why so many, like, famous artists, poets, composers, and whatnot go insane), and, like, only Asian person at my school.  I didn't develop very good social skills, well, any social skills at all, really, until I went to a college where the majority of the population was actually more socially awkward than me! .  Later, I met a girl who had the same issues as I did when I was younger and I felt really bad for her, I wished I had helped her more, but I think I was afraid...maybe of exposing myself to my memories of hard times .  I dunno...I think my biggest regrets in life are when I feel like I could have helped ppl but I chose not to...:/

 

Anyways, I wish the best for this Sakura Chan and hope she'll eventually find her way like I did, I would like to thank you for sharing your perspective, and I hope ppl here treat and are treated with the respect and kindness they deserve .

Was the 'About Me' page disabled or did I just completely forget how to access the editing option for it, lol...

 

It's nice to have something public, easily accessful, and editable to, like, put links to puzzles on, for example :/.

The six dark heads turned simultaneously and twelve glowing green eyes glowered at the diminutive form.  “Where...did that come from?” the voices echoed.

 

Orin frowned.  What did they mean?  His own gaze trained on the jocund helper.  If he was not their creature, then...

 

Something was attempting to surface in his memory.  Something he had seen as a child...a television show...with children trying to solve puzzles...and a rainbow...

 

After conferring with his capable team, Captain Wraith stepped forward confidently.  “Time for this charade to cease.  We know who you are...we know which you are...Witch.”

 

“Green is the color of will and energy,” one agent recited, stepping up behind the captain.

 

“These clones are created of energy, channeled by will,” said another.

 

“The real Witch is the the one who controls the chaos...” a third agent chimed in.  Then, all said turned in conjunction to one of the figures and spoke in chorus, “...you.”

 

The Chromatic Witch smiled and waved his green gloved hand and the other five figures vanished.  “Not bad...I can see this version has significant improvements...” he shrugged.  “But still...just because you can find me doesn’t mean you can defeat me.”

 

He swept up his arms to the sides, palms upward, and abruptly their surroundings vanished and all around them was a screen of green.

 

The Witch clapped his hands together and their surroundings turned into a desert canyon.  There was a rumbling, and rocks began to precipitate from the jagged cliffs.

 

The agents scrambled, dodging the barrage of boulders.  Their enemy laughed and clapped his hands again.

 

The dust and debris disappeared, to be replaced by darkness, mud, and roaring rain.  Suddenly there was lightning, closely followed by thunder, and then the rain turned to sleet that pelted the freezing agents.

 

“You cannot win,” the Witch declared.  “This is my gateway.  Everything is as I will it to be.”

 

“Not...everything,” spoke Orin slowly through shivering teeth as it came to him. Along A Rainbow, the show had been called, and there had been a helper, a guide to the children...Hucky the Hinter...  

 

The Chromatic Witch stopped and studied him.  Orin clenched his hands into fists, fighting the cold.

 

“The leprechaun...it...it came from me, from my imagination...from my will.”  A fire ignited in Orin’s eyes.  “If green is the power of will, then...then we use it too!”

The Witch’s lips pursed pensively, then curved into a bemused smile.  He clapped his hands once more and the surroundings turned back to green.  “Let’s see about that...”

BOSS BATTLE GREEN

Feels good to be back in the puzzle-pushing saddle

 

(Note:  If you've ever played Scribblenauts, it's a similar setup )

 

The last puzzle was not completely solved, and there are some hints in the post to allow players to work on finishing it up while I finish constructing the Boss Battle scenarios.  Also feel free to ask questions.

 

Good luck!

When I verbify 'BrainDen' (hey, it's like 'google' )

The spring is in your step b/c someone *cough* O:) put silly putty on the bottom of your shoes.

When I was five, my uncle offered me a 2 for 1 deal:  two dimes for my one quarter...unfortunately for him, the Mathgirl gene expresses itself at a young age ;P.

You know you're a grammar Nazi when you hack into the Pentagon's homepage just to correct a split infinitive...oops, I mean *cough* Pentagon?  What's a Pentagon? O:)

Assuming the world exists, I should probably actually do my taxes.

 

 

Spoiler for No...not what I meant...

No, you missed the "viewing from the side" part of my post.  Viewed from the side, the coins look like lines ;P.  Also, the OP doesn't specify the coins have to be the same coin, so you could do it easily by using 2 coins that have a diameter that is 2X and 3 coins that are a diameter of X, which, viewed in the third dimension, are lines with those lengths

Hai! That is yes..5 coins w/ 2 double diamater. Looks like a parallelogram with line in the middle.
OP should say "same coin" but i guess no one use 4 half-cut coins (or bitable coins) to make 8 diameters.

Spoiler for thru manifying lens

It seem to have 2 hexagons?

 

My angles were more...90 degrees .

 

 

Sorry if I'm going on a completely different tangent than what the OP intended, to be honest, I'm not sure what the OP intends , but seeing your response to witzar made me think 'outside the box' (or plane of the box ) type solutions were acceptable.  

When the eyes of the world are on you, whatever you do, don't move south...I hear the world has a bad case of the flu at the moment...

If you leave the rocks at the door, don't be surprised when your guests come rolling onto the floor.

Thanks rookie, you're awesome .

The wanted criminal known as Cinderella has sought asylum in China after being convicted of fraud for faking her status as a princess, a crime that was discovered after her coach turned into a mushy pile of pumpkin goo at twenty past midnight.



Edit: Some good sentences, just wanted to point out that it's not really, like, about constructing the shortest grammatically correct sentence possible, but more, like, to try to connect the words in an interesting and sensical way.
