Who or What Am I?

[balatro]

 

OK, thanks for the fair competition 

 

Oh, dear me! I'm afraid you've mis-interpreted the intent of my hint.

 

Rest assured that this is a fair competition...at least, as fair as any competition like this can be. You see, some of us will always have specialized knowledge that will give them a leg up on some of the questions. All my hint tried cryptically to point out was exactly what group of people will have that advantage for this particular question. (And in case you haven't figured it out from the other answers being given, it's Classical Literature majors..PM me if you don't see the connection from my hint to this conclusion.)

 

So far from making this competition unfair, I've actually done my best to level the playing field. But perhaps the fault is mine for trying to toss in a cryptic hint. Therefore, future hints will dispense away with the cryptics and get "right to the point", so to speak.

 

As for the answers given so far: not the one I'm looking for yet, but you guys are definitely starting to think in the right direction.

The college in LV? Greenglass I think it is, but that doesn't have anything to do with graveyards.

My english is good enough, but it's not my native language. And I'm still in high school. So I guess I'll be out of this question unless I got some really good hint =)

[balatro]

No one has got my answer so far, so it's time for hint #2:

 

I am not normally found in any graveyard or cemetry, but you (or any other pedestrian, in theory) can of course move me there.

 

And HolyHandGrenadeFrenzy? I think the word you were looking for is Mausoleum.

 

-- balatro

[TheTank]

Coffin ?

[balatro]

Coffin ?

Nope...and are coffins not normally found in graveyards and cemetries where you come from?!

[TheTank]

Coffin ?

Nope...and are coffins not normally found in graveyards and cemetries where you come from?!

Well... We bury ppl in coffins, don'y know 'bout you.

[balatro]

 

Well... We bury ppl in coffins, don'y know 'bout you.

 

Heh, I don't doubt that people are buried in coffins. But my hint#2 states that the mystery answer is not normally found in graveyards and cemetries. Coffins, on the other hand, are pretty common in those places....

"NOT normally..." Hey sorry, I couln't catcj that little 'not'

"...move me there", hmm, a car, a bike, a plane, any vehicle?! The Romero?

None of these, but you are getting closer....it IS a vehicle.

 

However, not the Romero...as stated by the original question, "I am not a hearse".

 

And since you have discovered this fact, consider it...

 

...Hint #3: I am a vehicle of some sort.

-- balatro

Yeah, I checked the online spelling before and there is like three so I picked one randomly....old words are often like that. Or at least incompitence is !

 

So OT< Flowers?/Aaron's Rod? Flannel Mullein? Great Mullien? Common Mullein? as said earlier....but negative.. so Caterer's? Crusifixes? Achievement? Decorum?

 

HMMmm. Not normally found in a cemetaries, huh?

 

Can be moved there by any pedestrian in theory?

 

Alcohol? Joints?....I am really reaching now even beyond the 7 funerals I have been to in the last few years. It has been hard on the family and friends. Procession/Cortege? Exequies/Funeral Service? Thanatousia? Newspaper? Banderole? Obesequy/Obsequies? ....Minute Gun? Eulogy? bossuet? Coronach? Epicedium? Nenia? Keen? Myriologue? Pibroch? Taps? Ullagone? ....Cinerarium?/Urn? Memiores?

 

Pile? Saullie? Feretory?....OMG.... Jauhar?

 

Wait not a hearse, right? How about a Hearsecloth?

 

I realize most of these things do not seem to be in the game per sey yet with all the signs and ped behavoirs and what not....who knows?

 

EDIT:.....While I was working on this there were other posts.....and now I do not know what to do....a vehicle, huh? Walton? Greenwood? Wagon? Cart? Boxville? Yankee? Flatbed? DFT-30?

 

@balatro> Are you punning me with the "Hand" in the middle of my name? Or is the Monty Python Joke carrying you away. There is more than one joke associated with my name yet I really am like that...A dangerous seeming contradiction that is no contradiction at all...The other details of how my name was formed is still my secret however.

I'm afraid none of the answers given so far is the one I'm looking for.

 

Remember my first hint! If one of the vehicles in the list you collectively have provided was the right answer, then why did I claim that Classical Literature majors would have an unfair advantage in getting the answer?

Sorry. It seems like I got carried away with the Monty Python reference (oops). I will correct my error, and leave out "Hand" in the future.

You still didn't answer my question.

 

Marquis? Clover? Banshee?

[Shutttlecock?]

im going through a list of cars and im pretty sure it has to be an air vehicle.

 

leviathen?

[balatro]

You still didn't answer my question.

Huh? You asked me if I was punning your name, or if I got carried away by the Monty Python reference. I replied in the affirmative for the latter option. Or did I miss another question of yours from somewhere else?

 

 

Anyway, still no correct answer, so it's time for another hint...

 

Hint 4: If you want to get 100% completion in GTA: San Andreas, then CJ has to drive me at least once in the course of one of your many missions. The mission that forces CJ to eventually drive me is started by CJ walking into a red marker somewhere.

Cool. Yeah, I love that movie (Hence my Avatar)but in RPG's it is usually impossible to Berserk or Frenzy with a thrown or missle weapon.

 

OT> The Hydra?

Nope.

 

And btw, happy birthday.

the combine harvester?

dont all missions start by CJ walking into a red marker?

 

Off topic.

im home sick from school.

also i know its like signing my name on the bottom of a pre written card

but happy birthday HGF.

Edited May 2, 2007 by Shutttlecock?

[Saget]

I didn't even know it was your birthday, HolyGrenadeFrenzy. I don't usually check the main page of this forum, I just have a direct link to the San Andreas division and from here I go to the off topic. Anyway, happy birthday.

 

Now, to the topic: Raindancer? Stuntplane? Hustler? Maverick? Bulldozer? Perennial? Hunter? Bobcat? Mesa?

[balatro]

dont all missions start by CJ walking into a red marker?

 

Well, most of them do yes. But a few don't. For example, the courier asset missions, the Chiliad Challenges, and any of vehicle missions such as Paramedic don't require you go walk into a red marker to start.

 

I have to leave town tonight, and will have no internet access for a week. So, I'll give a big hint right now in an attempt to wrap up this puzzle.

 

Hint #5: I am a two door coupe, and can be taken to Wheel Arc Angels to mod.

 

There, that should do it. I just hope that you don't have to resort to naming every single vehicle from the Wheel Arc Angels list to solve this thing!

yepp i think i went through em all

[Saget]

Flash?

[balatro]

LOL...it's a shame that I have to leave tonight, or else I could have left this running longer.

 

But between Shuttlecock? and Saget, you've got the complete listing (The Club isn't moddable at Wheel Arc Angel, but the Flash is), so one of you have the correct answer.

 

As it turns out, the correct answer is the ELEGY.

 

So congratulations to Shuttlecock? for getting the answer. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that you don't know WHY the Elegy is the correct answer, eh?

 

Anyway, thanks to all who played. The baton is now passed to Shuttlecock? for the next question!

 

-- balatro

 

P.S. If you really want to understand my solution, look up "Elegy" in wikipedia.org or dictionary.com, and everything should be crystal clear.
