[QUOTE=twickster]  
Well, shit. He’s got a more general reason, **kat** has something more specific than just citing Doper usernames – can you understand why **dotchan** and I assumed there was something more to **fluiddruid** ’s quirk than the simple fact that she liked alliteration? **frustrated**

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
I usually find that I can. There were no other reasons not to go to the police, were there?  
[/QUOTE]  
No, no other reasons. Thinking back to the time, I would really not like to be reminded of it. Let’s talk about something else. Do you read comic books?

I did as a kid. Lost interest when I was eighteen or so. How about you? Is that a hobby of yours? Are you connected to comic book fandom?

_bump to page one_

(Host notes: I…got nothin’, sorry. And I have a couple of projects due this week. So it’s back to poking with a sharp stick for me.)

**Priceguy** , I’m afraid I missed your answer on what your job was. What do you do for a living?

**Blaster Master** , is English your native language?

**featherlou** , you’ve been rather quiet the whole party. Don’t be shy!

**Kat** , what’s your favorite television show?

**Kat is a name dropper, who likes to mention people we would know.**  
**Pricegu** y, I’m losing interest as well (in the previously mentioned subject), what are some of your hobbies that you’ve held for too long?

House.

It’d be really cool to imagine that one of our SDMB resident doctors, like **Qadgop the Mercotan** , for instance, was Dr. House in real life.

Well, as long as they weren’t _my_ doctor.

Don’t you agree, little spot girl?

(Host notes: My only other guess on Priceguy for the moment is that he might be a psychiatrist or something, but I already used mine.)

**Correctly guessed:**

Anaamika must use each successive character above the number line in successive posts: dotchan  
Purplkid\_Caterer has a tendency for using hackneyed cliches: twickster  
Zoggie is an Advice Columnist: dotchan  
Taber think he’s a specific Greek god or goddess (picked Dionysus): twickster  
fachverwirt must post using quotes from Shakespeare: twickster  
Eureka is easily confused by homonyms: twickster  
OneCentStamp may not use any form of the verb “to be”: bbs2k  
Malacandra is a pathological liar: bbs2k  
DiggitCamera is an MLM marketer: dotchan  
fluiddruid is obsessed with alliteration: bbs2k  
Rysto must mention the name of a different dance in each post.  
Idle Thoughts must use the last two words in the prior post to begin his post: twickster  
twickster is officially pissed: bbs2k  
\*\*  
Incorrectly Guessed:  
\*\*  
Kat: twickster,bbs2k  
Priceguy: twickster  
BlasterMaster: bbs2k

**Unguessed:**  
featherlou

I’ll try to throw some hints out there for our poor benighted hosts.

dotchan’s question to Priceguy is the key to his quirk. Also, figure out his focus.  
Kat is mentioning a lot of Dopers. What do they have in common?  
Blaster Master… I don’t know. You guys will either see this or not. Perhaps figure out why he uses “th” but not “the.” Or “an” but not “a”  
featherlou… I think I made her quirk too tough.

I’ve had my guesses on two of the unguessed, and I don’t see a fucking thing for the other two. Apparently I was right on “th’-not-the, an-not-a,” but frankly I have no idea what that could possibly signify. I’ve read and reread what little **featherlou** has posted and can’t see any kind of pattern to it at all.

Given that the “ **twicks** is pissed” guess has been officially acknowledged, I’m gonna officially sit on the sofa and sulk for the rest of this game (though I won’t read the “secret” thread till the game is declared over).

Somebody’s pissed? Someone should give that person a fuzzy bunny. It’s difficult to be pissed while holding a fuzzy bunny.
