So people who haven't solved it still can't read the thread?
Woah, kinda weird.

It is still possible to get Mod Points from the bar? I've clicked it 2000 times today, over and over, and have gotten nothing. Nada. Zilch. -.-

You don't want to, as you'll get positive rank points also. And that's mean to the server.

I don't suppose some kind person could give me something to work on here - I'm a little lost in working out exactly *what* needs solving...

Thanks...

You can't solve it - the appropriate mechanism for solving the riddle has been removed by the administrators. Presumably they will make goodie-tagged text visible to all at some point - until then you're out of luck.

When TCB (the game itself, not the 3.1 patch) was under development, the bar on the front page tracked its progress. When you clicked it, it said various things (like it does now).

At certain intervals, the bar would dispense goodies -- things like a tar baby, an orb, or a spider. Those goodies appeared on a Bar Goodies tab in the Profile screen, and you could rearrange them to see what happened. Some arrangements were considered "interesting", others weren't.

Arranging the goodies in the right order revealed a little prize of sorts. It also revealed a pair of tags which could be used to discuss the solution (used extensively in this thread), and allowed you to see what was posted between those tags.

Unfortunately, the riddle ended with TCB's release. The bar came back for the 3.1 patch, but the riddle didn't.

[goodies]Sure.

You just use the first letter of each game element as a letter, and rearrange them such as they spell "SCREENSHOT". It's an anagram, essentially.[/goodies]

[goodies]I wonder what happened to the people who solved it but then had the goodies intentionally arranged wrong... they can't fix it without the goodies tab.[/goodies]

That's just not fair! :sulks:

I'll get over it though, I suppose... DROD can't keep me angry for long, unless it's through frustration at some rooms!

[goodies]Yeah, it's very evil, if I'm correct, the message says "This text will be revealed you solve the riddle of the bar" [/goodies]

Maybe the riddle of the bar is fictional and everyone is trying to deceive me...

You are correct, we planned this disruption months ago, just for you.
