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.

This is fantasticll

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.

I figured out what random country I got dropped into was, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the best chess move. Made it though up to rule 16 with this:

PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P

Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard...

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

lol

I thought I was so smart spamming the caterpillars into the password. I overfed Paul.

The funniest moment has to have been when I Googled "9 minute 34 second Youtube video" and there was at least one video literally titled "9 MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS TIMER COUNTDOWN [574 seconds - 9:34]" and the video was 9 minutes 49 seconds long. I proceeded to Google different numbers of seconds looking for one that hit the perfect number and literally none of the videos, despite seemingly hundreds of videos of very specific times happened to fall on the 9 minute 34 second mark. Like, what insane world is happening in the great depths of Youtube where people spend hours posting completely arbitrary timers on Youtube, but specifically avoid ones that are 9 minutes, 34 seconds in length. I felt set up. I was rolling in laughter. 10/10 would spend my night Googling Youtube timers and overfeeding an emoji chicken again.

I think I will quit at this point.

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.

Reminds me of https://youshallnotpass.glitch.me/. But this one is even harder. :D

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.

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.

My captcha and chess move add up to more than 25 😢

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!
