View Full Version : Help with telling numbers without Dictionary Dancing
Alexander 04-23-2006, 04:26 AM Like the title says, I need help saying some numbers with doing the dictionary dance that they said we are not suppose to use.
Basically, I'm writing the script for my quest and need some creative ways of saying the following:
catch 13 ghosts (Hint photo will be of the Haunted Mansion Clock) - "How many hours are on this clock is how many ghosts you must get. No less."
score 10,000 in Pirate - "Get a score half of how far this ship went down." (Hint photo of the sub from the Ship Graveyard room)
score 200,000 in fireworks
collect 20 trophies (Hinto photo will be of a trophy on the track) - (Hint photo of 20 lights off the Music Room Dance Floor... yes, I was able to fit that many into the frame) "You need as many trophies as there are lights in this picture. Count carefully, now!"
ToyStoryFan 04-23-2006, 05:55 AM For the 13 ghosts, what about something like "catch the number of ghosts that will bring you bad luck" or something? Becuase the number 13 is considered back luck! LOL.
For 10,000 maybe tent oh oh Oh?
Miguzi.Man 04-23-2006, 06:14 AM for ten thousand maybe... When though sand
InfernoWanter 04-23-2006, 06:15 AM 10,000 I Say Tent Tho Sand
Miguzi.Man 04-23-2006, 06:17 AM can you say tho?
Vergency 04-23-2006, 06:53 AM yup (2short)
acenima 04-23-2006, 06:54 AM you can say 218

For 10,000 maybe tent oh oh Oh?
You can't say number (at least I don't think you can), and saying "Tent oh oh OH" would be dictonary dancing.
for ten thousand maybe... When though sandDictonary Dancing....
you can say 218
How si that suppose to help me?
Here's an example of what I mean. I'll edit the first post so that it comes up. I thought this up while having breakfast.
Catch 13 Ghosts with Photo Hint of Haunted Mansion Clock = "How many hours are on this clock is how many ghosts you must get. No less."
Maribeth 04-23-2006, 01:36 PM There's 13 hours on a clock?
Actually you can't say 218. You can say 2l8 which is 2 L 8 but with a lower case L. It means too late.
VMK_Red said dancing was allowed as long as you don't give personal info out. This isn't personal info.
But then again not everyone can understand these sometimes-complex dances, so good idea ;)
For pirates how about: A popular movie about Leagues Under the Sea is what many Tomorrowland rooms are based on. [That would be 20,000 leagues under the sea.] How many leauges under the sea are they? Find out, then divide that by half. Now get that many points in the Pirates game!
Amberina 04-23-2006, 01:57 PM for 10,000 i would say, I and for oh
jarrett 04-23-2006, 02:04 PM in the thousands like that I usually say, tent oh grand, or too oh grand for 20,000.
Schmoofy 04-23-2006, 02:05 PM Well, let's get this done old fashioned. Take a pic of the nautilius submarine from the background of Nautilius Grotto and make the clue this- "Battle some pirates, be ye be warned - Get a score half of how far this ship went down" or something like that. Let me think of the others.
Maribeth 04-23-2006, 02:14 PM Shmoof gmta- Great Minds Think [somewhat] alike.
Pretty much what I said.. same thing 20,000 leagues under the sea but I didn't know it was about the ship I've never watched that movie.

I'm really stuck on thinking about the 200,000 in fireworks. I mean, we could say 20K without dictionary dancing, but then how to go from there...
Maribeth 04-23-2006, 02:23 PM We can say 20K in VMK? Hey that ryhmed. But seriously.
If we can say that then it would be. Go play fireworks and get 20K. LOL
Go explode and make pretty designs in the sky. These can be pretty dangerous so watch out! Make sure you get at least 20K or you might be in trouble!

That I like. It's not wordy and it fits the "don't say a word more than twice" catch-22 they have installed.
There's 13 hours on a clock?There are on the Haunted Mansion clock. ;)
Maribeth 04-23-2006, 02:57 PM Yay! I learned my 1 thing for today. Thanks, now I can shut off my brain.
Uhhhh....
1girl2sweet 04-23-2006, 03:16 PM for 10,000, i think u could say 10k, unless thats 20k but u can say one of those
Alexander 04-23-2006, 04:57 PM for 10,000, i think u could say 10k, unless thats 20k but u can say one of those
Actually, you can't say either of them.
Back to the topic at hand. I still need ways of saying that you need 20 trophies and 200,000 points on Fireworks.
Penguinz 04-23-2006, 05:02 PM To Tree= Twenty
Alexander 04-23-2006, 05:14 PM To Tree= Twenty
That's dictionary dancing, and that's something I want to avoid.
Maribeth 04-23-2006, 05:19 PM Actually you can say 20K, which would be 20,000. Oh wait I thought 200,000.. Oh well. If you don't like the other one you can just say get half of 20K
I tried in Main street you can say 20K but not 10K
Alexander 04-23-2006, 05:26 PM Actually you can say 20K, which would be 20,000. Oh wait I thought 200,000.. Oh well. If you don't like the other one you can just say get half of 20K

I tried both and it won't let me say either.
C.C. Deville 04-23-2006, 06:02 PM I tried both and it won't let me say either.
You can say 20K make sure the K is capital...
Alexander 04-23-2006, 06:10 PM You can say 20K make sure the K is capital...
Well, looks like you can.
But that doesn't help me in trying to tell the player that they need 20 trophies or 200,000 points in Fireworks.
Tonocool 04-23-2006, 06:11 PM Well your kinda Stuck there :( all i can think of is Something that has 20 things Like you could say ' Get as many trophies as there is as many lights in the Music Room ' I really dont know
Alexander 04-23-2006, 06:38 PM Well your kinda Stuck there :( all i can think of is Something that has 20 things Like you could say ' Get as many trophies as there is as many lights in the Music Room ' I really dont know
are there 20 lights in the Music room?
There''s more, but I was able to fit 20 of them into a frame! Thanks!
SunshineFairy 04-23-2006, 06:49 PM For the twenty trophies you could say something like:
"collect the same number of trophies as the number of points you can get from riding Jungle Cruise"...
because you get 20 points just for riding :)
:) Sunshine

Thought about that, but those points are subject to change (albeit not any time soon).
I also want some kind of picture for them to go off of.
