When I was first amazed so much by Peter Answers oh so long ago it did not occur to me that this game would be so popular that there would be people jealous of the virtual tarot success. But Peter did have success and with that I guess people want to get what he had. So this interactive souls engine, or virtual tarot, or whatever you want to call the game of peter answers now has some competition.
The first one I have run across is a complete rip-off of peter answers and it is called Ask Jud. Now what’s funny about Ask Jud is it works exactly the same as Peter Answers, it looks the same, and the secret is deployed in exactly the same way. Except instead of saying, Peter please answer you say Jud, please answer. One thing that Jud has going for it is it’s fancy Web 2.0 logo with the reflection. There is also this Ajax like thingamabob. Very high tech.
One thing that is interesting about Ask Jud is that it is a pretty new game and there hasn’t been much written about it on the internet, so this article will be one of less than a thousand that seem to be targeted to this interactive virtual fortune teller game of Ask Jud. One thing know about the internet is that there will soon be a lot more pages joining as people write about the secret to ask jud and and other similar games. There is something fascinating about how the internet just grows and grows with articles like this one as people (not fortune tellers) write about all sorts of topics of which they know nothing about.
Ask Jud describes itself as “The World’s Finest Virtual Tarot.” I will grant you with the fancy high tech stuff it does look pretty good, but really the magic in games like Ask Jud and Peter Answers is what is happening under the covers. Anything else is just makeup. So can it claim to be the world’s finest virtual tarot? I guess it can - we can claim to be anything we want.
But for my money, I would stick with the classic game of peter answers over jud answers if you truly want to shock and amaze your friends. Peter has such a nicer ring about it than Jud does, wouldn’t you agree?
Do you have a friend who has tricked you into playing the Peter Answers game? If you have recently been tricked by this game, do not worry - you are not alone. Peter Answers is a game that is sweeping the country. Why? Because it is so simple to do yet for those who do not know the secret to the game, very annoying! It does not seem possible that a computer can know the answers that it knows.
For example, the first time I played the game my little brother was at the keyboard and I was watching over his shoulder. He typed something like, peter please answer me who is standing behind me? And the computer typed out, “your big brother.” Now how could peter answers know that I was behind my brother? We do not have a camera in our computer, there was nobody on the phone to tell peter who was there, it was quite the mystery.
It was a mystery, that is, until I learned the secret to peter answers.
If you are coming here looking for the secret to I would love to hear how your friends tricked you with the peter answers game. What kind of amazing questions did peter know the answer to? I am not in school anymore but I would bet this is a favorite prank to play in the school computer lab.
Also, I have heard now there are some other cool virtual games like the peter answers game, but I have not been able to find them. If you know of a cool game like peter answers why don’t you share it so we can all see how interesting it is. Maybe it is as cool or better than Peter Answers? Even if it is I think I will still play this game though as I think the first game is always the best. You always remember how amazed you were that first time and you want to relive that experience of being tricked by Peter Answers.
You may have seen Peter Answers described as both a soul search engine and a virtual tarot. So which is it? What does a soul search engine even mean? In my research to learn more about this online game I have learned that when Peter Answers was originally made it described itself as Peter Answers, The Soul Search Engine. At some point in time the makers of the game decided to change the name from a soul search engine to a Virtual Tarot.
Now this is confusing to me. This is the definition of Tarot according to Dictionary.com:
any of a set of 22 playing cards bearing allegorical representations, used for fortunetelling and as trump cards in tarok.
So What is Peter Answers?
So I understand the relationship, but frankly I would think that Peter Answers would be better described as a Virtual Fortuneteller. Because that is really what Peter is doing, he is telling our fortune. So I am not sure why they describe as virtual tarot.
I actually prefer the original name of Peter Answers, The Soul Search Engine. That is because rather than entering a search, or a question, in Google you are entering your question (remember, in Peter Answers it is called a Petition) for Peter to respond with an answer. He really isn’t telling a fortune, he is actually answering a question. He is looking into your soul.
That is why I believe that Peter Answers is a Soul Search Engine.
The key to Peter Answers is the petition. Whether it is the short version shown in the title of this post, which is “Peter, Please Answer” or the longer version of the petition “Peter, please answer the following question”, the petition holds the key to the virtual tarot Peter Answers. First off, what is a petition? This is how dictionary.com defines it:
a request made for something desired, esp. a respectful or humble request, as to a superior or to one of those in authority; a supplication or prayer: a petition for aid; a petition to God for courage and strength.
So what does this mean, really? Well as I am sure you have noticed there are two parts to the game - the petition (Peter, please answer) and the question. It’s in the petition where you appeal to the mysterious peter and ask him a question. You “petition” him, in other words, the answer your question, whether you use the long version of the petition or the short version of the petition.
The question field of Peter Answers is where the fun is. Here is where people ask the funniest questions like, “who just farted,” for example. Peter knew the answer! How on earth did Peter know the answer? Peter Answers is just a website, there is no way Peter could know the answer. But somehow he does. That is what is so fun about the game - you ask the weirdest question that there is no possible way he can answer you, and miracle upon miracle, Peter Answers.
