Hello everyone! I'm shamelessly ripping off ProgZMAX's contest idea here, but bear with me.
Have you ever dreamed of being in jail? We've got an empty cell that needs you!
Check it out:
(http://www.grundislavgames.com/crap/cell.gif)
In other words, would you like to make a cameo as a prisoner in Case 7?
Well then all you have to do is the following:
1. Be able to provide a photo of yourself.
2. Guess the game's title.
That's right, in order to make this a little more fun, you have to correctly guess the subtitle for Case 7. If you go to the official website (http://www.grundislavgames.com/benjordan) you can see the title's format, all you have to do is fill in the blanks.
You can PM me with your entries, but please try to reserve it for serious guesses only.
Also, people who went to Brittens/Mittens and already heard me say the title there are not eligible to participate in this contest. Sorry guys.
This contest will run until December 24th, 2007 at which point I'll announce the winner and the title, or just the title if nobody is able to guess by then.
So, to get things started, I will provide the first clue. I'll be providing another clue next month, and then a final give-it-away clue in December, if nobody has guessed by then.
CLUE #1: Spiders and scorpions hear.
Good luck!
Update 11/1/07
Congratulations are in order for GarageGothic who managed to figure it out! I'm very impressed, I honestly didn't think anyone would figure it out before the 2nd clue. But, through his resourcefulness and smarts, he got it.
Sweeet! Good luck with that! Where's Andy Milonakis when you need him? ;p
BJ7 is teh giveaway gayme! Grundislav my proposition remains!
And LOL what the hell has happened to the head of guy 2.
Cool :)
Query: How many entries can we submit? I have a few ideas, but I don't want to just go submitting any crap ones if I think I may be able to come up with a better one only to find out we only get one entry.
You get as many tries as you like.
I guess the title is "Ben Jordan and the paranormal promotion plugs"
:P
Ben Jordan vs. Frankenstein, King of the Moon!
Oh wait, I'm not allowed to enter! OH NO!!
Ben Jordan and the Deathly Hallows, obviously.
Can I enter? I...um...I wasn't listening at Brittens.:-\

Ben Jordan: "Dude Where's My Ghost?" :D
Based on the number of letters in the title I would say
Ben Jordan, The Exorcist Head or...
BJ, His Erection Flog
Ben Jordan: Actually We Didn't Make Up A Title Before And Just See What The Fans Come Up With And Pick The Best Suggestion?
No, wait, that's too long.
Ben Jordan: The subtitle fake? :P
Would it help to know the location?
Ben Jordan 7: The Prisoner Cell
Ben Jordan And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Ben Jordan 7: A Fistfull of Cases
Anyway. I know the title, but I don't want to see my self pixelated. So forget it.
Ben Jordan asked me if he's allowed to enter the competition, as he'd love to see what he'd look like in a computer game.
So it's not the annoying fans then? ;D I still laugh at the april fools joke that turned into!
The man in cell 3 looks ready for a BJ of one sort or another.
Ben Jordan 7: The Fellatio Joke

CLUE #1: Spiders and scorpions hear.
That's not a clue but a riddle!
Spiders have ears on their knees!
Dunno about Scorpions...
Ben Jordan and the Umm of Huh?
Ben Jorden: Somebody Please Come up With a Better Title Than I Did!
No? Well, shit.
Is this thread for joke guesses only? Can I post a real guess here?
You can, but I'd prefer it if you messaged me privately.
Ben Jordan "aka terrible crap"? No? Well, ok then... :(
Yay GarageGothic! Well done...you know teh name!! Hehehe can you maybe post a photo of yourself so we can see how you turn out? ;)
GarageGothic, you are under arrest, get in your cell now.
I hope you won't have a special somebody in there with you. :)
So, just for fun, I'll give the second clue and see if anyone can figure it out.
Clue #2 Banjo Nerd
Ben Jordan And The Really Loud Banjo That Serpents And Arachnids Are Able To Hear
The ''contest" part of this is over now? So all can openly comment and guess at what the actual name is?
Yep. Go for it.
Ben Jordan: The Arachnid <something>
Tuba? Drum? Tune? Tone? Note? Bang? Boom?
The ........ Heir?

Ben Jordan: The Arachnid <something>
The Arachnid cell?
Arachnid wave?

Ben Jordan And The Really Loud Banjo That Serpents And Arachnids Are Able To Hear
HAHA..... :D
The Arachnid Heir? ;D
Hmm, Banjo Nerd = anagram of Ben Jordan.
Anagrams of "Scorpions hear" are:
Arachnid snoopers
Arachnoid persons
So is it "the Spider People"? or "the Scorpion Folk"? or something?
Well, to anagram the whole thing:
Ben Jordan and the Snide Arachnid Oppressors
(http://www.thexiis.com/media/banjonerd.png)
!!!!
I was right months ago!
@SSH: I think that's a good title as it is... Down with rude spiders!
Ben Jordan: The Return of Jigsaw
Quote from: SSH on Sat 03/11/2007 22:24:50
Well, to anagram the whole thing:
Ben Jordan and the Snide Arachnid Oppressors
Actually it turned out to be "Ben Jordan Case 7: Anchorpersons Dispraised"
Okay now let's all kill ourselves
Er, no.
Mac.. you don't realize.. my life revolved around this contest. Now that it has concluded, I have nothing else to live for!
Wow, that was a tough one!
Good job, GG! :D
When will we actually find out what it is?
Well, I was going to wait until December 24th, when I'll do the GiP thread, but if nobody else has managed to guess the title by next week I'll post it then, along with how to figure it out based on the clues.
Oh...but I thought GG guessed it correctly...
oh well.
=P
He did guess it correctly. The title he posted in this thread was a joke. He sent me the correct answer via PM.
Ben Jordan Versus the Hillbilly Spiderman
Ben Jordan Must Die!!
Ben Jordan and the Case of Crabs
...
Use lotion
Use fine toothed comb
No more guesses? Well I guess it's time to give the answer.
Taking clue #1 which was "Spiders and scorpions hear," most people correctly guessed that spiders and scorpions are arachnids. Following that logic, you need to find a synonym for "hear," which in this case was "listen."
This gives you the phrase "Arachnids Listen."
Now, you take the 2nd clue, "Banjo Nerd" which is an anagram of "Ben Jordan."
So rearranging the letters in Arachnids Listen gives you some possible titles.
If the game were to take place in France and be about bad escargot, it might be "The Rancid Snails."
Or it could be "The Cairn Islands," but that doesn't make any sense.
So that leaves us with the game's actual title:
The Cardinal Sins
Holy crap! :o All hail the genious who solved this!
Hehehe
Grundislav Games: Turning everyday life into a difficult adventure game puzzle.
Awesome ;D.
anagrams are so 90's
GG got it without the 2nd clue?!
/me is in awe of people who randomly create anagrams of words
And besides, this is very unfair! I was guessing "The Radical's Inns" :P
I must admit, I never even got to the anagram part - I based my guess on the "XXX XXXXXXXX XXXX" format of the title and on the fact that shortly after announcing the contest, Grundislav removed the cardinal sprite he had posted on his site. I smelled a cover-up, and well, it turned out to be a good hunch.

You are quite clever it seems. So I don't mind losing from you.
Now then, what's the title for BJ#8?
Quote from: Stupot on Sat 10/11/2007 20:22:20
Now then, what's the title for BJ#8?
Ben Jordan 8: Ben gets up, makes himself a piece of toast, goes to the post office to buy some stamps, see's a brown dog in the street, stares at the sky, solves a murder involving a possessed milk bottle, buys some albanian food at an albanian food stand, goes home, and goes to sleep.
...
Deluxe.

Ben Jordan Must Die!!
Jim!!! This is brilliant. And to think you wrote this 3 years before the movie sequel was conceived, let alone the first one!
Hi "Mods". Please read the forum rules before bumping old threads. Further action of this sort could be punished by loljk
Maybe Dualnames has mystical powers. The indigenous tribes of the Caribbean believed that the mentally challenged possessed prophetic abilities. Or was that the Dutch?
I've seen the future, ddq. You kill me

Nope, we just want their money.
