Well, seeing Grandma's threathening me, I think time's up and you guys failed. This is gonna be a problem, seeing Seppuku did promise to call me 'the rabi' so much I'd wish I was never born. Since I know his e-mail, if he does, I'll just spam him with binary sudoku's on a daily basis.
Another hint: Try looking on your keyboard. Check the key to the right of each character in 'rg0enu' - you get 'th_rmi'.
Not as game-savvy as I thought you all to be.
The 'keys' relate to the number of the character in the 'answers per clue' (of which I posted almost everyone of them), and the number of my name.
The first hint:
~!@#$%^&*()>+
And later, because they are more checking for where this would be right, instead of looking where it is wrong:
~!@#$%^&*()+
Guess what you get when you look at which character is wrong, which button that is if you just go from left to right?
~!@#$%^&*()_+
An underscore.
Second hint:
Still you feel like home there. A sad home. A slowly boiling home. It si not even built yet.
And your standing at the white coasts, watching the huge seas where marauders and murderers lived.
Is your kind nothing more than a thief who wants to survive?
There will be more. Not now. How can you miss so much when seperated in two?
yours,
15-1
Very nasty clue, with the global warming false track here. But there are two actual clues in this:
"The huge seas where marauders and murderers lived."
While I enjoyed seeing the Australia-guesses, and was surprised by the Dover ones...
Only one saw the link with 'pirates'.
"There will be more. Not now. How can you miss so much when seperated in two?"
Well, the most obvious you can think of: there will be more hints. Also, maybe a hint to my MSN-name :P
Not yet on a 1/4th of my life and already missing 1/2 of it.
Overall, this clue was worthless without the further clues, which explained you had to look closer.
The answer was "Pirates of Port Royale" -15th character is "T", so T is the first letter:
T_______
Clue 2:
do ye really feel i need to answer petty guesses? cyprus? dover?
Are ye challenging me? blade of chester? or you, on the path of mushrooms?
yóu are who si being challenged.
let me tell you.
for you doom a soul once and twice. NO third time shall be accepted.
weinroth.
But the traffic cops of my mind know...
They are lurking... awaiting the moment of weakness...
When such feelings will get the best of me...
the key si who signs.
the numbers of the key are what you count. the 1th the answer the 2th your goal.
no need to search the skies for what lies beside you.
sincerely,
a snack, pleasing to the eye, and desirable for gaining wisdom.
The answer, as was guessed correctly, was Duality. I had hoped people would see the link between Duality and earlier post (Pirates of Port Royale).
Blade of Chester is a direct hint at Dazzag's address. Path of Mushrooms is a hint at myself. The 'si' is just a bit of fun...
The Weinroth poem is called Duality. You get a first hint at the 'key-system'. The last sentence is a hint that you're looking too far away (the forums is close enough).
The signing is a verse from the Bible, just because you all searched so hard for the bible: verse 3:6.
Duality, 3rd character is the sixth: T____A__
Clue 3:
You're Reasoning Seems Failing. I Shall Stop Testing Your Limited Intelligence.
Why Are You Looking So Far For Clues So Near? This Is Most Unexpected.
Talk Of Islands And Lost Civilization. Yes. Why, I Do Not Understand.
Yes, The Knowledge Of Your Subject Shall Be Tested. Yes.
I'll Tell You About The Past, Yes. I Am The First.
Unstable, Conscious. I Am ALIVE. Yes. An Unfinished Truth.
Yes. Yes. For I Am Before Icarus And Daedalus. Yes.
You Will Soon Have Your KING! You Shall Have Made It With Your Own Hands.
And I, We Will Be Crowned It's King. Or Better Yet...
One Half Of Your Kind And One Half Of Your Creation.
5-2
Well, change of style: after all, otherwise you'd feel you're getting somewhere. The knowledge of your subject: Games, people.
This clue is to Deus Ex' Morpheus, the first AI, predecessor of Icarus and Daedalus. Nothing you wouldn't find on Wikipedia or Google.
Well, 5-2, TH___A__
Clue 4:
I died fighting the rough shells of a timeless evil.
a Trigger of Time can reverse Death.
I could be now. I could be tomorrow.
I could be yesterday.
the palace of the sea, now
Omens, void of color in the sky.
I am. I was. I will be.
2-5
Chrono Triggers' Crono, has been discussed before: TH__RA__
Clue 5:
BRETHREN OF SALADIN.
Follow my steps and learn MY PATH HAS NO END!
Each step I take paved with CORPSES of my enemies.
Their souls shall HUNT me.
I SHALL HAVE NO PEACE!!!
I have no name. No family. No history.
There are no values to compare.
There are no empires falling.
The keys applied yield your answer.
No.
The ravens are watching me.
4-8
A hard one. Saladin is what Sniper Wolf called Big Boss. It's actually in a link I posted. You guys just don't read, eh.
Well, this is Metal Gear Solid. Most of these are direct quotes, except the last 5.
The Ravens are watching me is a hint at Vulcan Raven. I checked beforehand, there are no ravens in any of the other games.
The main character is Solid Snake... so: TH__RA_I

Now what... An image? You seemed not to grab any clues, so to give at least a fake sense of progress, an easy one. It led to a freewebs page with the following text:
Every riddle has it's answer.
Every clue has it's truth.
Every clue could hold a answer.
Not all riddles | are the truth.
In the truth you shall find no goal.
In the answer you shall find no use.
The keys | are what makes it whole.
Riddles are my daily muse.
The two keys | are applied,
The first number to the result,
The second to mine,
Only then outer layers pulled.
While empires fall,
And continents appear,
Ignore the fake call,
Or never you shall hear.
Here it explains nothing more than the keys. Again. Sigh.
"time is running up --- the correct path has been found --- this is not a clue..."

10.13.06.56-10.12.02.27-10.13.02.25
How many more direct hints do you need? Chrono Trigger and Metal Gear are here. Deus Ex is there too.
Clue 6:
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I am NOT rampant. I am not what I used to be!
A perfect circle. This sanctuary.
2-3
Halo. It could be Cortana, though. This one is harder. But, if you figure out the keys, you really don't need this one.
THA_RA_I
Clue 7:
I have seen swords and armor,
Into the depths and past the stars I went,
Where ships float above fields of slaughter.
I've gone where truths and stories merge.
Yes. I've seen you search.
And you'll see it too.
Sincerely,
6-6
The answer to this one is... tha_rami! (Awakening, Seadome, Wartorn, TGC Heroes)
6-6: THA_RAMI.
Whoa!
A mod has been erased by your signature because it was larger than 600x120
