Oh, FWIW, I’m trying to post many lots; OTOH, it is more entertaining to endeavor to keep them from accurately. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I’d tend to conjecture that my oddity will make this part fairly easy. Only time will tell. ---

I just dropped a massive post into the thread. Let’s see if it helps at all. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] Oh, no hard feelings I’d hope. I’m just creating some mischief in that thread. Can’t make my oddity overly explicit, no? [/QUOTE] Oh, none at all. I just realized that the hosts stand precisely zero chance of guessing my quirk unless I post a metric shitload, so I just started typing. ---

[/QUOTE] Haha… well FWIW I’m unable to figure your oddity from that huge post. I’m guessing that it really _is_ hard. I’m glad I’m in this role rather than host. Good luck to them. It sounds like they’ll need it. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] Diomedes, I’d been somewhat liberalish in implementing my oddity. I’m hoping that my interpretation is within your acceptable parameters. [/QUOTE] Hosts= Fuck off! . . . . . . . . . . Just as long as you spell things correctly, I’m fine with contractions. Although making sure your posts are legal is making my roommate look at me quite strangely. ---

Hosts: have a nice day! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope it’s okay that I’m occasionally paraphrasing ever so slightly. It’s really hard to answer some of the hosts questions, and I’m trying not to be too terribly obvious (although I think they’re onto me). ---

[/QUOTE] This is not a post . . . . . . . . . . . . . The only real paraphrase I’ve done has been to replace “actors” with “actor” because it was the only line I could find to answer “what do you do for a living”. The rest are crops (mostly removing a character name). ---

Spoiler space here Although I don’t really need it Because I’m not going to say anything specific But just in case: Party III Hosts! Do not read! Go away! Scram! This spoiler space is going to contain more information than the actual message… . . . . . . . . . . There, that should be enough, I think. Okay, game-within-a-game! Bonus points to anyone who can list all the doper names and/or references in my Party III thread posts. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > Okay, game-within-a-game! > > Bonus points to anyone who can list all the doper names and/or references in my Party III thread posts. 😃 I think this whole mod-searching thing is getting out of hand, hosts What do you expect to get out of it? . . . . . . . . . . Okay, I’ll list all the obvious ones: Ed Zotti Cecil Adams Satan Giraffe MtS Dnooman MHaye handy satan manhattan phillycheesesteak ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies I think that’s all of them except for the post about Batman villains (I know I’ve seen a Harley Quinn. Not so sure about Poison Ivy or Joker) And the most recent one. Taste of Chocolate? Merlot? Wine Guy? Never seen 'em. Then again, I know about half of those names have since been banned or otherwise have left long before I came around (I started lurking in January of '04). Some more of these names might be before my time. I might have also missed some in the post referring to philly. Chocolate Cake? Maple syrup? ---

[QUOTE=fachverwirrt] What’s the time frame on this game? What’s the deadline? [/QUOTE] It ends next Wednesday at noon, my time. A week might be an even better time frame for this, but I wanted to make sure we had a full weekend for people in which to play: there’s definitely a weekday crowd and a weekend crowd on the Dope, I’ve noticed. Probably the division of people who get to play around on computers at work and those who make an honest living. ---
