    As a someone who frequently argues with IT teams over ridiculous hidden password rules that drive crappy user experience I feel triggered by this game.

    I hate Paul…

    I made it up to rule 25 and then Paul starved because I was thinking too long about which characters to ban.

    To make it over Rule 24 (Paste the URL of a Youtube video with a certain random length), I even created a video with the correct length and kept uploading it to Youtube to get a URL without roman numerals and decently usable atomic weights.

    When I tried it again after that dumb chicken starved, I hit Youtube’s maximum daily upload limit. Now Youtube thinks I am a spambot or something.

    Btw, there are 35 rules total, in case anyone else makes it over 24. And spoiler, the one that got me doesn’t matter at all. It’s one of the easiest of all.

      Do you know what all the rules are? Could you perhaps put it in a spoiler quoted comment? I’m not about to get through all of these rules lol.

      I tag teamed with someone and they were constantly counting to make sure Paul got fed while I tried to find a 23m03s YouTube video

      I got a text HOURS saying “I can still hear myself counting” lol

    “Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video.”

    I gave up around the roman numbers because I chose to include May

    Think I should try again.

    edit: okay, I’m going to call it on the Wordle rule.

      im case you tackle it again, the month does not need to be capitalized, and if its lower case, it doesn’t count as a roman numeral

      Shortly after the Wordle rule I got told I had to include the country Colombia. Which, with an L, made it impossible to multiple Roman Numerals to equal 35…

        Only uppercase letters get treated as Roman numerals, same for periodic table. The real killer one for those two is YouTube url

          For me it wouldn’t even let me copy/paste a YouTube URL. Trying to do so kept automatically pasting in the title of the damn video. 😠

            It’s so real, right?

            I hate when they forbid c/p password fields - that’s so stupid and even lessens security.

    What killed me was trying to feed the chicken while hunting for a YouTube video of a certain length. I did get past that once when I was lucky enough to be asked for a 9 minute 0 second video. Because people upload “timer” videos of exactly X minutes, that was possible. The “26 minute 59 second” video resulted in a dead chicken.

      That’s the stuff! I chickened out at the chess question.

      That will be solved with the browser’s dev tools, I guess 😇

    LMAO this game is amazing. I got to rule 25 with this bad boy

    but fucking Paul starved as I was converting all the vowels to bold. If anyone’s wondering why there’s a link in there, rule 24 required you to put the URL of a YT video with a duration of exactly 11 minutes and four seconds. Will probably be different for you, if you try it.

    Let me just say: screw Paul and his inability to pace himself when eating. I just gave him a bunch of food to satiate him and he decided to eat it all at once and die from overeating…

    Cool concept though!

    I did 32nd Rule but I broke Rule 5. I wasn’t going to juggle the hex colour, the length of the password, the captcha, and the youtube url, so that the numbers add to 25… Don’t know if it’s possible even…

    edit: 31 to 32 was hard, I added a before pic as well, had to change strategy.

      Did you make it to rule 34? If it is not releated to “Rule 34”, I’d be disappointed.

      Impressive. I never got past the YouTube URL. But I refresh the captcha until it doesn’t contain any numbers so that it doesn’t mess with the “25”. Still, it the YouTube video contains too many numbers, then it’s difficult.

        Didn’t even think that the captcha could be numberless… And now that I look at it youtube urls had no number… F***!

        Maybe it’s a good think I quit, I have work to do :P

      I accidentally overfed him, which I guess is just as bad due to the Dark Souls themed overlay lol.
