Title: The OFFICIAL car parade thread
Post by: Wally on March 30, 2016, 07:20:43 AM
Email me a photo of your car, and like the identity parade, we'll guess who owns each car.

I think Grat just likes puzzles to solve :)

Yes, Grat's analysis of the ID Quiz was excellent and entertaining...

There are a few cars for your guessing pleasure in the first post.

Bruce = 5

Surely  :P

One more...

7 is owned by the factory, I guess...
Title: Re: The OFFICIAL car parade thread
Post by: grat on March 30, 2016, 10:40:01 PM
3 is an in-game picture!!!
Title: Re: The OFFICIAL car parade thread
Post by: grat on March 30, 2016, 11:26:13 PM
I saw #1 and thought "Bruce said he is a mechanic..." but then I saw #5 and "hell, that's exactly the car he would like, isn't it?"

So maybe #1 is Bacchulum the machinist and #5 is Bruce?

In any case: people, please guess. If you don't guess, Wally does not answer. And if he does not answer, there are no pieces of puzzle to put together! ;)

Funny thing about you guys is that when in the identity parade people were saying: "this guy must be X because he has racial connotations that fit my idea of him and the sound of his voice" nothing happened. Now if one says "this is X's car", X immediately replays: "you moth***r idiot, your mom's car is a van!!!"

to some, cars are an extension of peoples personalities... so some tagged to driving a van, hatch, ford would be like having an unsightly mole needing to be lopped off :P

Of course I know we are all joking here, mate. I just found funny you and Phil said "that's not my car" while none of us said "that's not my face." :) Nobody is offended for anything, here, I hope. It is all just for fun. And indeed it is pretty fun to see that even among a bunch of moderate petrol heads, almost all our cars are... well, pretty ordinary ;)

BTW: what car is that? I admit I am pretty bad at recognizing them.

Anyway, judging by outraged reactions, in the absence of answers from Wally:

#1 ?
#2 ?
#3 ? (not Phil; probably an in-game picture using some fancy PP-filter)
#4 ?
#5 ?
#6 ?
#7 ? (not Bird; probably a catalogue picture)

Interesting fact: Joe chose Phil as he knew he had kids. And I thought love was blind... ???

Yes, good point Rolz. I think we can give Bruce for sure at this point:

Here's a clue. One car so far belongs to someone who was NOT in the identity parade.

I saw #1 and thought "Bruce said he is a mechanic..." but then I saw #5 and "hell, that's exactly the car he would like, isn't it?"

So maybe #1 is Bacchulum the machinist and #5 is Bruce?

In any case: people, please guess. If you don't guess, Wally does not answer. And if he does not answer, there are no pieces of puzzle to put together! ;)
I don't know if this will screw your theory, but I only worked as a machinist for a few years.
I'm actually a Mechanical Fitter (rebuilding train motors at the moment).

I don't want to give any of the game away, but I had to laugh at that. I currently have no car due to having no actual paid employment  ;D

Also, I wouldn't own an SUV if my life depended on it. My Mrs having a Subaru Forester is bad enough! ;D

Then, if we buy the theory that Grat is 4, since Stan and Bacchulum are not in the list, it means that 6 is Wally!!!

Flattop = 5
Freezer = 3 or 7
Grat (they say)= 4
Gratulin ?
Guybrush ?
Joe ?
Phil is not 3
Rolz is not 7
Wally = 6


Said otherwise:

1. either Gratulin, GB, Joe, Rolz, Phil
2. either Gratulin, GB, Joe, Rolz, Phil
3. either Freezer, Gratulin, GB, Joe, Rolz
4. Grat
5. Flattop

I thought this meant that Freezer is in "there" as in "among those cars"... Of course I might have misinterpreted. In that case Freezer might be whatever but #1.

4 cars correct!

Rolz's car is one of the reddish ones.
Title: Re: The OFFICIAL car parade thread
Post by: grat on April 03, 2016, 10:57:11 PM
There are 3 reddish cars: 2, 3, and 6. But we know that 6 is Wally, so Rolz is either 2 or 3.

Also, Rolz was mentioned as 9, which can't be, and 4 were correct: so this means that one and only one of these are correct:

1. Phil
2. GB
3. Joe
7. Freezer
8. Gratulin

As usual, the recap:
1. either Gratulin, GB, Joe, Phil
2. either Gratulin, GB, Joe, Rolz, Phil
3. either Freezer, Gratulin, GB, Joe, Rolz
4. Grat
5. Flattop
6. Wally
7. either Freezer,  Gratulin, GB, Joe, Phil
8. either  Gratulin, GB, Joe, Phil
9. either  Gratulin, GB, Joe, Phil

Kabooom! So when you said

But we know that Bird is not 7 and Phil is not 3. And we also now know (thanks to the "say whatever about my face but leave my car alone" rule) that freezer is not 1.

and we know
1. not Freezer
3. not Phil
5. Bruce
7. not Bird

True, but I am in there......!
(time to start dropping a few clues I think)

"but I am in there" you simply meant you sent a picture. Not that you were in the list you quoted!

Mate, as punishment for your confusing statement you should go now buy a ute and drive nothing else for the rest of your life---even in sims!

Step 1 of following Freezer's lead: Freezer is number 2
Proof: you have been guessed to be 1, 8, 9, 7, 3. And we also know you are not 4, 5 or 6 as they have been identified. There remains only number 2.

Step 2 of following Freezer lead: Since we know that Rolz is red, there are three red cars (2, 3, and 6), and Wally is 6 and Freezer is 2, then

Rolz is 3!!! Man, that comes as a big surprise to me...

Nice Rolz!

There is another thing bothering me here. Follow me:

1. Freezer is 2;
2. Freezer was  not in the identity parade;
3. When Wally added 8 he said "one so far was not in the identity parade".

We know also (if you followed me you know why) that exactly one of these are correct: Phil is 1 or Gratulin is 8. But Gratulin was not in the identity parade, so if Wally meant "only one so far was not in the identity parade" then we must conclude that:

Phil is 1 and Gratulin is 9!!!
Title: Re: The OFFICIAL car parade thread
Post by: grat on April 05, 2016, 01:36:04 PM
But then Joe was offended when someone suggested he drove a Toyota Altis, so he can't be 7. Also, GB cares about us knowing he drives a company car, perhaps with banners (hence the non-personal picture)

So ladies and gentlemen, if nobody lied:

1. Phil
2. Freezer
3. Rolz
4. Grat
5. Bruce
6. Wally
7. GB
8. Joe
9. Gratulin


Let me say right now that this looks really strange to me. I would not have guessed Gratulin to be 9! But he himself said that Wally gave a big hint when he added the last two cars, so it sounds like I collectedly interpreted Wally's hint. Furthermore, Phil being 1 makes kind of sense...

Which means I have at least two of them wrong ;)
As I wrote: they are pretty strange indeed. But then again, even Rolz being 3 was strange, and then it worked. What is sure is:

2. Freezer
3. Rolz
4. Grat
5. Bruce
6. Wally


Anything wrong in there is Freezer's fault ;)

The next step was setting Gratulin as strictly greater than 8. But this is due to an interpretation of a hint by Wally, when he said "one is not from the identity parade" I interpreted it as only one (Freezer). But if either I misinterpreted or he forgot, then it does not hold anymore and we are back to:

One of these is surely correct, but only one: 1 is Phil, Gratulin is 8

1. Phil or Gratulin or GB or Joe
7. Phil or Gratulin or GB
8. Phil or Gratulin or GB or Joe
9. Phil or Gratulin or GB or Joe

This is all the info I have.

1. Wally never made a mistake when saying "3 of them..." or "4 of them..."
2. We did not grossly mistake some we took for certain, like 5 is Bruce or 6 is Wally---after all, 6 is Wally was based on one of the statements in point 1.

Trabant 601 indeed. Legendary...I don't really think so. It has definitely fallen apart tho.  The shock mounts - that doubled as engine mounts I think - have rotted away on the cabin side. What I've experienced was that my steering wheel moved in a good 5-8cm's in at every braking...The mechanic said I would've almost certainly lost my tyres and engine pretty soon.  ;)

But I've also owned a 1.1 version, later, for a little while.  That was a death trap...same light car with a 1.1 WV polo engine. 

Just so you guys know, the doors were made of fiberboard (the shittiest, weakest sort), a lot of things were either paper-thin steel or plastic...The whole thing weighed some 650kgs iirc.   Hence the 26HP 600cc 2-cylinder 2 stroke engine worked well to propel this marvel of engineering at up to 100km/h in good tailwind. 
Tyres were so thin they were practically bike tyres (some current bikes have wider tyres that's for sure).
Good times.
