I hate this. Also, I love it. Fuck Paul.
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
My company finally went to a non expiring multi-word based policy. Took them a major breach but finally some sanity.
Have you ever played You Shall Not Pass?
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 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
That’s a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.
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.

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.
What the hell is a gibbous and why does it need waxing?

That will be solved with the browser’s dev tools, I guess 😇
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.
9 minutes 34 of audio bible anyone?? https://youtube.com/watch?v=mdEttg1lN0I
i wish i had read the comments. they never told me I could overfeed paul, and now i feel a little bit bad about killing a chicken emoji

Dang it, finished on rule 24
because (spoiler)
because I overfed Paul and it died :(
gg and good luck to ya’ll
I got to this same result on my 3rd attempt, and had to throw in the towel. Everything’s randomized every time.
Nice game, thanks for sharing ! I stopped at rule 24, looking for videos with correct length and url was tok frustrating for me…
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 gave up in the google maps lmao
Encyclopedia Britannica has a list of all countries on Earth.
Same, typed all of the countries I could think of and then noped out.
Since maps only works in iframes and I my browsers don’t like that. After a dozen attempts to brute force, I considered it fair to put a breakpoint in js and look at the stack (a habit I gained after playing untrusted ). I only glimpsed at the code for what was still ahead. When I encountered the chess question I decided to go finally to bed - since that wasn’t the last rule or even close. I guess Friday after work would be the best time to start this again.
The map didn’t load for me so I just grabbed a big list of countries and pasted them there lol
Playing this game was infuriating when the egg hatched.
Can’t believe that in 2023 we still rely on passwords so much, even more so when there are silly rules for password “strength”.
I’m not gonna do google searches, I give up.
I just opened devtools to see the answer lol
“Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video.”
lol
Careful with Paul. He may starve.
Also this:
I quit after I got that…
Yep. That was enough for me as well.
PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P
Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard…
I accidentally overfed him, which I guess is just as bad due to the Dark Souls themed overlay lol.
i did too. i had to wander around for ten minutes before i found a sign that helped me make a guess.
Ha, this was brilliant. I got up until the chess move!
