Update with all unsolved ones, I added some clues to mine...

Mavispoo:

somewhat brutal, with a little poison to boot? (though Roach might have gotten this...)

Nathyn:

When the frisbee throwing snake charges, it is bad for them.

Evil_Giraffe:

Blimey, we are unable to do it ungrammatically

FastGamerr:

Far away in the space where the mysterious rest. But you can't see the ring if you don't try.

Kyle90:

Only women do trigonometry.

Stuck in Alaska? Try turning around.

“A place many skip these days, unless they are web designing MS lackies!” GBK growled. (Clue: not a member, related directly to site)

“The soul of my predecessor” Jan Ors initially said. “Without it nothing happens. Sounds like a short run, is what I need.” (Clue: relates to DF/JK series)

Bit of a guess this one, but Force Speed?

"Jan Ors initially" = Jedi Outcast, the predecessor being Dark Forces. The soul of that is "Force".
Then the "short run" and sounds like "need" made me think of the Speed part.
2004-08-06, 1:00 AM #128
You're half way there in that you picked Jedi Outcast...and you've got kinda the right idea with 'sound' bit, just took it in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't overlook 'Without it nothing happens.' [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Ok, I guess you can shoot me, Jeff: I missed the clue about me. Pathetic. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

How about posting the rules or guidelines for the different kinds of clues (like the...geez I can't even think of them right now...but where you indicate using first or last letters, etc.)? Or would that take the out the fun of figuring-the-rules-out-as-you-go?

"Sounds like a short run"

Would that mean sounds like "sprint"? (You don't know how long that took me; I sure hope that much is correct.)

Ha, I know: "Sounds like a short run" (sprint) "is what I need." Hint sounds like sprint, and that's what I need: another hint!

*groan* This is fun, but I'd much prefer that you turn your time and talents to remaking Drazen. It'd at least be less frustrating for me. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

There some loose guidelines to doing these things, here's a list of sorts:

- Words like initial, first, start, begin, head, etc are often a hint to take note of the first letter(s) in words nearby. Like in the one HS just got, "Jan Ors initially said"

- Words like some, partial, etc are often a hint that a word is hidden in upcoming text. Like in one of my original ones "some risked rising waters"

- Words like change, rearrange, mixed, confused, jumble, etc usually point to a word being mixed up.

- Words like reverse, backwards, turn-around etc hint that you need to reverse a word (or words) to continue.

- Words like sound or hear, etc often point to the answer (or at least part of it) 'sounding' like something else.

- Words like 'no more', take-away, minus, forget, remove, etc often mean something needs to be deleted. ie. With no more sick to pillage ....hints you need to remove 'sick' from pillage....and another word for sick is ill leading to page.

- Positional words like center, middle, left, right, etc often point to either you need to take that location into account. IE. take note of a word's 'middle' or perhaps PUT something in a word's middle to create another word.

- Words like before, after, follow and behind also may point to a position you should note.

- Words like odd and even usually point to a word being formed nearby from odd or even letters in words. ie. Odd characters in shot - ugly

- There are a countless other less common ones like disguising letters by refering to their roman numeral (ie. 500 romans = D). It's all just logic, so there's endless possiblities.

- Also note I said 'usually' as not EVERYTIME you see one of these words will it mean that.

somewhat brutal, with a little poison to boot? - I'm really surprised nobody's gotten this! it's a member, the two halves of the clue refer to the beginning and end of their name.

oh.

I just realised why maybe nobody got it! this is the name used in #massassi, their registered forum name is a longer version.

An elf sits beside the rocks, backwards.
Answer: Flexor (solved by Cool Matty)

Answer: Cool Matty (solved by Jaiph)

Keep your vowels small; it is linked to your intelligence. (Especially on Nar Shadaa)
Answer: DeTRiTiC-iQ (solved by Acharjay) BTW, sorry about the Nar reference, I was thinking of Sine for some reason.

And for the unsolved ones, here are some hints:

Stuck in Alaska? Try turning around.
Hint: Think of a city in Alaska.

A split ego, with sharp edges.
Hint: Think of a word that means "sharp edges".

A man heard twice.
Hint: It's more like it was said, and then heard again.

And some new ones!

This round is one that lights the way.
