What a mess!!!

God!!!
What has happened to this place?!

About two years ago I brought the isis 1. Opened and blah blah............... had fun taking part, reading posts of how people are getting on....... seemed like a nice big happy family.

Then I go and by the next puzzle, ramisis.
So after a delay I get my mits on it.......... and it doesn't do what it says it's meant to do. So, I take it back to Hamleys for a refund as I wasn't happy paying £150 for a puzzle that clearly failed to do what it said.

I thought, ok, I'll just let them work all this out and buy it again at a later point.

And thats why I'm here today, to see how things have 'moved forward'.

But wow!!!! From reading the posts I just can't believe how far down the gutter this 'adventure' had gone!
People talking of leagal action?!?! More broken promises!!! No-one having a clue as to what is going on!!! I find it amazing! But why you would pay £500 to a company that was dying its death even before............. I just don't get it!

I think isis 3 will be out at some point. But as for numbers 4 and 5?! Not a chance!

Gosh! I'm still kindda in shock. I can't remember the last time I was on here but it was never this bad.
So, I'll not be getting the ramisis again after all. Reading all that stuff on the forum is enough to put anyone off.

Anyways, those of you that wish to stick it out and hope for the best............. good luck to you. (you'll need it!)

It is sad, isn't it? However, I have to say that the Ramisis is a great puzzle, regardless of all the shenanigans going on. No matter what people think of the "adventure", good or bad, these puzzles still rock! I'll buy all the ones come out (and I think all 5 will be there eventually, even if it takes 10 more years), and in the end I will be a very happy customer with some awesome puzzles in my censored. I have to say though, that deciding not to buy a puzzle based on a forum's negativity toward each other and a lack of community, rather than basing that decision on the puzzle itself, is strange to me. Best of luck to you, friend.

Strange that I got censored... It wasn't even a "bad" word! The word I used could be synonymous with collection, store, or repertoire, and might be defined as "a collection of weapons". Of course, these puzzles are not weapons, I only meant that they are 2 of many in my collection of puzzles. I can only imagine that it got censored because the first 4 letters in the word could be considered slang for a 3-letter word meaning donkey... Shambles... :oops:

Thousands of people, including children chant that word at the Emirates Stadium on a regular basis :)

I believe it's considered quite an offensive word to a Spurs supporter :D

It seems like they have activated some sort of automatic censorship feature.

Just tried typing all the dirty words I could think of into a message and it automatically
replaced them with the word censored. Trouble is it does it even if the first part of
the word is in the censorship list. So not only can you not type the name of that north
London club, you can't type the name of their manager either.

There is a way around it though :D :

Indeed. I assumed as much myself. I wonder how many common usage words that would affect...

so i was riding my ass the other day with my cock in his cage and my bitch trotting loyaly beside me....we happened upon a whore and ask of this lowly lady "where might my ass,and my cock lay with this bitch for the night?"....she grinned toothlessly and pointed north.....to a small shack pilled high with faggots.....at least we wouldnt need to find fire wood!
just then our friend Richard happened by...i always refer to him as "that dick from town"...hes a fine fellow!.....i ask Dick to stay for supper but he declined....as he said his own bitch was in heat and he needed to tend to her....i bid him farewell....
we settled down for the night ,i scratched my ass,rubbed my bitch and played with my cock for a while before dozing off..
what a life..... :D
