Custom Dialog?

or Custom Speech?

Cuss for swearing, with Tom being Jerry's enemy, and dialog or speech for speaking (I guess either one works)

It took me about 10 minutes of staring blankly into space, drooling as my head tilted slowly to one side, with my eyes slightly crossed, plugging in numerous combinations: Fuktom...nope...tomfuk...nope...shttom...nope...tomsht...nope...damtom....hmmmm...tomdam....hmmmm....until I hit on it...It's more about just stupidly perservering sometimes than actual thinking, especially when you are sure you have the answer at least partially right ;)

OKAY!!! I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!!!

I officially give my turn for making up the next one to CASSIE!!! (even though we don't really follow the winner- gets-the-next-turn structure much)

(Once you start making them it gives a LOT of insight into how to solve them, and there are websites that can help you if you haven't done cryptic crosswords much before, like me...)

Cassiebsg

Writing a text with urine of a dummy! (9, 1, 5)

Should be easy enough (unless it only makes sense in my head... nah.... (laugh) )

Hint 1:

Not AGS related.

Perhaps Wyz (or a mod) can insert this into the OP and we can update it every so often.

Mandle

Wow...cheers for the hard work there Stupot! That will be a big help to newcomers.

I was also thinking that once we have enough really good ones we should actually make a crossword from them (maybe even an automated crossword in AGS) and release it to the community ;)

Great minds think alike :-D Here's one I made a while ago. Although, the clues weren't really cryptic. Khris made a neat interactive web version of it, too: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=47380

As for this:

I'm stumped. Could the first word be 'authoring'?

Baron

I'm pretty sure the good old semi-colon would come first alphabetically. :P  At least, names that begin with symbols come first in the AGS directory.  But don't worry about the snub; I mean, the semi-colon is already named after half-an-ass, so, you know, it's used to it. (roll)

Nope, and I just realized I made a mistake when writing that sentence... see I'm no good at this, I meant to write one word and...

It's something I'm working on, and the words were right there on some of my Firefox tabs.
