When are "they" going to tell us?

Asked by coffeenut (6171points) March 2nd, 2011

We have had these Awards for long enough…..They should tell us what the hell the “unknown” ones mean….

Pilgrim I’d tell you, but the CIA will [REDACTED].

Old-timer If I told you, I’d have to kill you.

Robot Crush These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…

Perfecto-fish We’d tell you, but our standards are impossibly high.

Cake in the Frizzer It’s going to be tough to find everything in this secret volcano lair.

Feeding Frenzy Do you think you’ll live to tell the tale?

Guacamole Visit the Fluther HQ in person or via mail.

This is the root of all evil…... I HATE getting awards lol kinda “getting awards” that have no explanation…..

Is this brought on by your recent acquisition of “Perfecto-Fish”? I think it’s fun to try and figure them out…. Whenever I get one of those, I go back to try and match what I did at the time.

I think it would spoil the fun if we knew.

I wonder if “they” even know.

I like the not-knowing, as difficult as it is sometimes. But I like surprises. My favorite part of presents is when they’re wrapped and could be anything and I’m sitting there impatient.
If they told us what to do to get all of them, then it wouldn’t be any fun. People would just do that, and the awards wouldn’t be elusive and mysterious things they are.
As much as we want to know, we don’t really want to know, right?

@DancingMind lol…..no, I want to know… Presents are a great mystery….then you open them… So after getting one of these awards a message should be sent to you on why you got it.

With the exception of one or two, they’re really not that hard to figure out.

coffeenut's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Only a few I don’t know, But they should tell what these are and than create more….

Well, since “they” are very busy now with their day jbs, I don’t think we’ll be told any time soon nor will new awards be created. Some mysteries are best left unsolved, I guess.

I know about them… you can’t get anymore until FlutherBot is fixed… so I can get my Pilgrim Award

@talljasperman The “Community Feed side bar” thing says I did…lol

We guard our state secrets very carefully. ;)

You can ask someone who has the award, but they can only answer privately, if they decide to answer at all.

@augustlan Does anyone know when the Flutherbot will be fixed?

augustlan's avatar

@Dr_Dredd No. I’m sorry. :(

Telling us will spoil the fun for new members. ~

coffeenut's avatar

@PhiNotPi Why? They can’t get any of them…. lol

breedmitch's avatar

Those that created them are long gone. There will be no more new awards, and the owners couldn’t care less if you figure them out or not. Fun, huh?
Sorry. I’m upset today.

@breedmitch lol….Why does it matter that the owners are no longer here…..They don’t posse some super unique special skill…..Anyone with website knowledge can add Awards…..

I’ve been here for about one year, give or take (I can’t remember without being able to look at my join date), and I only know how to achieve one of them aside from the Guacamole, which is spelled out. I feel kind of stupid.

incendiary_dan's avatar

I know how to get the Pilgrim one, and I’m not telling.
