I also think a better title than quantum werewolf is waveform werewolf, because the game does not deal with quanta anymore than regular werewolf, and also it's alliterative.
I'm going to make a quantum werewolf client i guess. also maybe a regular werewolf client while I'm at it? i guess it wouldn't be too hard to add an additional option of regular werewolf to a quantum werewolf client
@boboquack it's been quiet in here today. I thought my C4 clue was simple, but now I'm starting to wonder if I'm abiding by cryptic rules. I only read the guide a couple of days ago
This is a different kind of challenge. It won't be everyone's cup of tea. But I hope someone may have as much fun with it as i did!
In the last couple of days, there was a comment made on Sphinx's Lair, to the effect that one could troll a cryptic clue; that is, make up a nonsense clue. (Th...
@Deusovi have you done any of the final 5 metapuzzles since I last asked (I know it's only been a couple of weeks), and are you getting a testsolver in?
Might be better to call them mini-metas, though - the answers feeding into them aren't puzzles on their own (since there are nearly 300 of them, and me writing 300 cryptic clues would delay the puzzle even longer).
Just want to make sure you aren't under the impression that all 25+ of them are the size of, say, Sp3000's Piece of Cake. I'd say it's about 3-4 times the size of that in total.
@stacksfiller I'm not the originator of the puzzle, so I can't say what the original intended answer was. No longer have the printed puzzle, and no idea where it was from. I had thought CHUM, but I really do think PEER (GO OGLE) is the correct answer.
Oh, don't get me wrong, there are some interesting things there. But the bad outweigh the good (and that's by design, of course. After all, we do want interesting things to stay here as long as they're on-topic.)
@boboquack, I will vote for you next time moderators are elected. You have an overview.
(just saying . . .)
(And I've voted for everyone else too.)

@Deusovi No one really seems interested. The answer I got for "Fired back (misfiring) small weapon without any sound (5)." was RAGED. Small weapon=GRENADE. "Any sound=N.E.". So GRENADE-NE=GRADE. "Misfiring (anagram)" leaders to RAGED, WHICH COULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR "Fired back."
Other than that addition, though, it works surprisingly well. Not perfect -- I'd probably be a bit miffed if someone were to clue "raged" as "fired back" -- but pretty good considering it was made to sound cryptic but not actually be cryptic.
it was a little bit frightening, with expert timing
uh!
@Rubio, that was for you.
Admittedly, I can pour compulsively-crafted puzzles (that few understand) or impulsively-typed nonsense (that are understood as nothing more). And either way seems to be understood.
Yucko, the only way to erase an outburst here is to obliterate it with awkward swath.
So, I was just preparing some cryptic clues because I was bored. I wanted to separate a few of these from the others so that there would be a nice final answer. However, they have all got mixed up. Your task is to separate out the Cryptic clues, get two answers from it(because meta-cryptics!) and...
I have been looking for someone who is willing to let me spoil the CCCC for them to make sure I'm following the rules (I don't want it to stay up for 3+ days if it's not even a valid cryptic clue)
