The 'Guess Who' Thread

[Peter Thomas]

Okay - I was just suddenly overcome with a wave of wonderment, and I MUST post, to see if I was insane at the time of thought, or whether it genuinely is a good idea.

So the point is this:

Someone logs out, and then signs in as a GUEST. They use a name COMPLETELY unrelated to their member's name (i.e - If I were to sign in as a guest, I'd use a name like Banana Smoothie, or Frequent Flyer, or even Not-So-Frequent Flyer)

You REPLY to this thread, giving FOUR USEFUL facts about yourself.

Example for Me:

1 - My Forum name is my REAL NAME
2 - My Avatar should be well known to cartoon fans
3 - My birthday falls on the same DATE as christmas, but in a different month.
4 - I enter most Tune Contests.

Of course, the clues could be a LITTLE more obscure, to make the guessing harder, e.g

1 - My Forum name is TWO WORDS
2 - My avatar is ANIMATED
3 - You won't find me posting in the technical archive
4 - I share a common interest with: Ghormak, Geoffkahn, Mills J Ross and Boyd.

Then, other people post and try to GUESS who this anonymous person is (without cheating, by the way).
Once person 1 has been figured out, ANYONE can become person 2. No one can post a new problem until the PREVIOUS PERSON has been figured out.

So, tell me.... is this a good idea?

If it is, someone START!! (obviously I can't start, because that would be a TAD too obvious).

If it's dumb, then flame me for all you're worth.

[Banana Smoothie Jr.]

Hmm.. sounds like it could be interesting.
Let's give it a go..

1 - My current forum name is that of a classical literature character
2 - I used to post quite a bit, although now I mostly lurk
3 - You won't find a topic by me in Completed Game Announcements
4 - In political discussions, I am a conservative (should narrow things down quite a bit..)

[Peter Thomas]

The only name that comes to mind is Indiana Psychonaut...

no...?

Edit:

Obviously I'm relying on the Indiana part of the name, as opposed to Psychonaut.. but even then, it's not strictly literature..., and I wouldn't say Indiana's a conservative...

hm.......

[Pessi]

Sounds good to me!

My guess for Banana Smoothie Jr. would be Helm. I don't know about his political views though, nor do I know much about literature. Wishful thinking, I guess.

[Peter Thomas]

oooh! ooh! I know!

(I think...)

Spoiler

J Thaddeus Toad (spelling?)

[close]

[Bob The Hun]

J. Thaddeus Toad it is!
Good job, Peter.
This competition could have some potential..

[Peter Thomas]

Yay! I was afraid this was going to turn into a complete flop.

*sigh*.... it probably WILL in about 24 hours...

oh well......

Somebody else post immediately  

[Phone Book]

Oh crap, I just posted and forgot to add my email.

A fake one, obviously. Ha ha, you think I'm stupid!?

Okay, here goes.

- I am the most obsessive person you'll ever meet
- I have a lot of ambitions, some of which are ridiculous.
- My avatar kicks ASS.

Who is this mysterious Phone Book character? hmmm?

[Jack Daniel\'s Friend]

1) I have released 1 game.
2) I post here quite regularly.
3) I'm not from Austrailia.
4) I post more help/advice in the Critics Lounge than actual art-work.

So ... Who am I??

huh?

tell me!!

[Phone Book]

You're a son of a bitch, is what you are.

[Jack Daniel's Friend]

At least I can count

[Peter Thomas]

ARGH! Both of you confuse me greatly.

I have no idea who EITHER of you are!!!

Phone Book: could you pleeez be a little more specific. I honestly have NO clue who you are. I mean NONE.
Have you told anyone your ambitions?

[Chicky]

-OSC

[Darth Mandarb]

OSC nailed it on the head!  Jack Daniel's Friend is the one and only Darth Mandarb!!

Good call man!

[Pumaman]

Phone Book, you make it too easy. Judging by the italics, you've just got to be Yufster

[Shattered Sponge]

Curse your reading this thread half an hour before me, CeeJay!

But yes; blatantly Yufster.

---edit---

Just so you know, aside from the way she talks and the befitting clues, the way she came up with that e-mail adress is reasonably distinctive, too.

[LGM]

OSC, How dare you say my obsessions are ridiculous!

[Moocow]

-First RON webmaster
-Wrote puzzles/plot for COG
-Started the GTDs
-Used to say "moo" compulsively

Acronyms ought to throw you off a bit. Though the first hint might be a bit too obvious. Meh.

[Soup of the Day]

-I've been an AGSer for years, but I only have one completed game. It's short.
-I haven't been in #AGS in months.
-There are several hyperlinks in my signature.
-My name gets less Google results than "Chris Jones", but more results than "Andy Penis".
