[IrishElk] I will be with you again ((Neologism))

[irishelk]

Most people will never be a honu cuye. Those who do so, do it without trying. In fact, someone would probably be considered crazy if they became a honu cuye on purpose. Being one has no real practical benefit, but I'd bet that everyone who is one, knows it. What's more, I could find you one without much difficulty, even if I'd never met him or her before.

What is a honu cuye?

[bodo]

Is this something physical? Such as a supertaster? More behavioral? Spiritual?

[irishelk]

bodo

Is this something physical? As in dealing with their body? No. Such as a supertaster? No. More behavioral? Sort of. Spiritual? No.

[Tiger]

Does becoming a honu cuye happen beyond one's own control?
Can only males be honu cuyes? Females? Adults?

[irishelk]

Tiger

Does becoming a honu cuye happen beyond one's own control? Hm. It's in one's control, but unintentional.
Can only males be honu cuyes? Females? Adults? No, almost anyone can be.

[Tiger]

PM sent.

PM sent. Not jury duty, but good idea.

I had jury duty for the first time this summer. I'll admit, I went in there with dreams of re-enacting 12 Angry Men. But we were all women, and all agreed to find for the defendant within an hour. ><

Hint: You are a honu cuye for only a certain amount of time.

[beroean]

Regarding your hint:
Is it a standard time span?
Can one control the length of time?

Can children become honu cuyes?

You said you could find one:
Could you identify by observing the person?
Could you identify without observing the person?
Would you need to ask questions?

Can you become honu cuye from any physical location on the planet?
.. off the planet?

[irishelk]

beroean
Regarding your hint:
Is it a standard time span? Yes.
Can one control the length of time? No. (Not without becoming a honu cuye on purpose, which would be crazy)

Can children become honu cuyes? Yes.

You said you could find one:
Could you identify by observing the person? Noish.
Could you identify without observing the person? Yes.
Would you need to ask questions? No.

Can you become honu cuye from any physical location on the planet? Noish.
.. off the planet? Noish.
To explain the ish: You could be a honu cuye anywhere, but there is a relevant location involved and it can't be just anywhere in the world, or in space.

[irishelk]

Another hint to prevent puzzle death:

If you are a honu cuye, your spouse and children probably are too.

[Malto the Short]

Does becoming one happen in a quick time? Like, seconds? Minutes, Hours? Days?
Can one become a Honu Cuye more than once in their lifetime?
Is becoming a Hono Cuye something that can affect your relationships towards people around you? Does it affect the way you utter words?
Is it the consequence of someone else bestowing something on you? Like being a Nobel Prize holder?

[irishelk]

Malto the Short

Does becoming one happen in a quick time? Yes. Like, seconds? Technically, less. Minutes, Hours? Days?
Can one become a Honu Cuye more than once in their lifetime? Yes, but it would be a huge coincidence.
Is becoming a Hono Cuye something that can affect your relationships towards people around you? Not really. Does it affect the way you utter words? No.
Is it the consequence of someone else bestowing something on you? Like being a Nobel Prize holder? No.

[Tiger]

Is a honu cuye the winner of some sort of contest/raffle/sweepstakes/charity?
Or a contestant on a game show / participant on a talk show?

[Malto the Short]

Do you need to be in your house in order to become one?
You wrote If you are a honu cuye, your spouse and children probably are too. Is it because of physical proximity?
If you become one, and THEN you have children, will they then become one? Or do they have to be present at the very moment you become one?

[irishelk]

Tiger

Is a honu cuye the winner of some sort of contest/raffle/sweepstakes/charity? No.
Or a contestant on a game show / participant on a talk show? No.

Malto the Short

Do you need to be in your house in order to become one? No, but definitely explore.
You wrote If you are a honu cuye, your spouse and children probably are too. Is it because of physical proximity? In a way.
If you become one, and THEN you have children, will they then become one? If you are one when you have the child, they will be one, yes. Or do they have to be present at the very moment you become one? No.

[Tiger]

Do you become a honu cuye because you fulfill some criteria?
Because you do something?
Because you are something?
Does someone "bestow" that title unto you?

[irishelk]

Tiger

Do you become a honu cuye because you fulfill some criteria? Yes.
Because you do something? I'll say no, but it might relate to something you've done previously.
Because you are something? No.
Does someone "bestow" that title unto you? No.

[Malto the Short]

Again on a hono cuye's children.
Will they be a hono cuye for a certain period of time as well? Will they be born a hono cuye, or become one later?

Do you need to be outdoors or indoors to become one?
Would you be able to avoid becoming one if you could choose, assuming you had fulfilled the criteria?
Is the something you've done previously going somewhere? Talking to somebody? Buying something?
Has it to do with being on some online social network?

[GalFisk]

Is your name relevant? Relatives relevant? Proximity to others relevant? Is a household a relevant entity? A building? Can a homeless person be honu cuye? Can a dead person be honu cuye? Can an animal? An object? An idea? Can a fictional character be honu cuye? If so: outside the fictional universe they reside in?

[irishelk]

Malto the Short

Again on a hono cuye's children.
Will they be a hono cuye for a certain period of time as well? Yes. The time period is also a good area to explore. Will they be born a hono cuye, or become one later? The point could be argued, but I'll say they're born one.

Do you need to be outdoors or indoors to become one? No.
Would you be able to avoid becoming one if you could choose, assuming you had fulfilled the criteria? There's a way to avoid it, but, like intentionally becoming one, it would be absurd for someone to do so.
Is the something you've done previously going somewhere? Yesish. Talking to somebody? No. Buying something? YESISH.
Has it to do with being on some online social network? No.

GalFisk

Is your name relevant? No. Relatives relevant? No. Proximity to others relevant? No. Is a household a relevant entity? Yes. A building? YES. Can a homeless person be honu cuye? NO. Can a dead person be honu cuye? Hm, I'll say no. Not for long, at least. Can an animal? Yes. An object? An idea? Hm. I was defining honu cuye as "A person who ______________." But if you take the "person" part out, then sure, an object or idea could be too. Can a fictional character be honu cuye? Yes. If so: outside the fictional universe they reside in? Actually, they could be one either inside or outside their fiction, under different circumstances.

[Malto the Short]

Has it anything to do with paying taxes?

[GalFisk]

Locks relevant? Keys? Being locked in? Locked out? Is carrying things relevant?
Is a feature of the building especially relevant? If so: door? Window? Wall? Basement? Hallway? Can you be hono cuye while standing outside your front door? Just inside it? Is sound relevant?

[irishelk]

Malto the Short

Has it anything to do with paying taxes? No.

GalFisk

Locks relevant? Keys? Being locked in? Locked out? No to all. Is carrying things relevant? No.
Is a feature of the building especially relevant? Yes. If so: door? It's near this...Window? Wall? Basement? Hallway? But not any of these exactly. Can you be hono cuye while standing outside your front door? Yes. Just inside it? Yes. Is sound relevant? No.

[GalFisk]

Door mat? Porch? Door frame? Bell? Can you be hono cuye if you live alone? If you live in an apartment? A tent? A mobile home?

[irishelk]

GalFisk » Fri Nov 28, 2014 8:03 pm
Door mat? Porch? Door frame? Bell? No, but you're sooo close.

Can you be hono cuye if you live alone? Yes. If you live in an apartment? Yes. A tent? No. A mobile home? Dang, I had to Google this. Technically, yes, you should have the relevant house component on a mobile home. But many don't.

[Malto the Short]

I'm sorry but the last answers left me a bit confused, are we talking about an object? Or are we talking about, let's say, a state of being that also an object can be defined with? A in "that curtain is worn"?

[irishelk]

Malto the Short

I'm sorry but the last answers left me a bit confused, are we talking about an object? A certain thing is relevant, yes. It is a physical item or items, and also a concept. I hope that doesn't confuse things further. Or are we talking about, let's say, a state of being that also an object can be defined with? A in "that curtain is worn"? Not really.

[Malto the Short]

Can you find the relevant object right out of the door? Or right inside? Is it the hinge of the door, or the doorknob?

[irishelk]

Malto the Short

Can you find the relevant object right out of the door? Usually, yes. Or right inside? No. Is it the hinge of the door, or the doorknob? No.

[irishelk]

I'm going to spoil this one because of limited interest (mostly mine) and because I have a ton on the way.

***********************SPOILER

You are a honu cuye if your house number is the same as the current year, i.e., 2014.
