The bar is angry. I got this message 4 out of 10 clicks.

It's a separate puzzle (discussion starts on about page 30 of this thread). There is a strategy to finding it; you don't have to check every post. It has nothing in common with the main Riddle of The Bar though.

The Bar Said When I Clicked Him:
Oh my goodness. 198600 people modded me up and I have an incredible 26 rank points!

It awesome! I checked his profile and someone modded his -18 post back to zero, and same with all the others! Then this 'mystery modder' +3ed, +2ed, then +3ed him again! But than that would mean that if all modded posts were set back to zero, he'd have.. 18 rank points? Hmm. Does he click himself?

What gave you the idea the bar was male? Or female?

(I'd say it's bar gender... )

np: Clint Mansell ft. Kronos Quartet - Dr. Pill (Requiem For A Dream OST)

Well, there's a difference between doing it yourself and having it done to you - try tickling yourself in your armpit sometime...

43 pages later . . . . .

Yes, I have just read through all 43 pages of this thread (and I think I will have to lie down in a darkened room for a while to recover).

Have I found the 2 (or maybe 3 or 4 - take your pick) red herrings? - no

Do I know the significance of the letter 'S'? - no

Do I understand the 75% reference? - I think so

Do I understand the significance of 350? - no

Do I have all the goodies yet? - no

Have I solved the Riddle? - no; I think I have an inkling, but that is more to do with my love/hate relationship with crosswords than anything I have read here.

Have I spent more time on this today than could be considered anywhere near to acceptable by even the most indulgent and liberal minded of benificent individuals? - most decidedly, yes!

Elf(frazzled)stone

Edit: PS I'm not yet asking for one of those helpful hint PMs. I would like to work on at this for a while before I admit defeat.

Oooooh! If I had mod points you don't know what I'd do to you! Making all my hard earned mod points go down the drain for nothing? I gave the bar all those points as an act of sacrifice, but they have been stolen again by a man who has rank points by the thousands! It's like a king stealing the beggar's money that he was going to donate to charity! You should be ashamed Mr. Editor, you should be ashamed.

Not any more I don't. I have to agree with Ezlo... people are using their hard earned mod points to mod me up, just so they can see if I say anything different with more rank points, and you carelessly mod me down with your unlimited, unearned supply? *sigh*

I just thought of something.

The Deadly Bar of Death is intricately connected to the TCB development. Clicking it won't make it get to 100% any faster, and this is clearly because the DBOD is irritated and hurt by the poking. However, since mod points make people happy, we can therefore say that modding the DBOD up will make it get to 100% faster. Therefore, Patrick is damaging the bar's self-esteem, and therefore he is arresting TCB development.

Translation: To Arms!

Who all agreed I deserved that?

*puts hand up*

It was fun while it lasted... good to see that the bar actually fights back. Anyhow, I've had my fun, so I call truce. Or surrender. It all depends on how you look at it.

The Bar Said When I Clicked Him:
200788 people modded me up and down and I am happy with the 24 points that I have.

Well, the bar is satisfied. But we should still mod him up. I modded him up a few. Lets help out our friend, the Bar.

I'm tempted to win this month's contest just so I can use the rank points to mod the bar up.

You can't mod the bar with rank points just like you can't rank the bar with mod points.

Or something.
