I don't know if "The guitarist" means something else than just a very prominent guitarist, in which case we have
Yngwie Malmsteen, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Santana
to mention a few. Santana made me think of Santa Claus, but that's not the right letters. 

If the italic The means something else, like a guitarist of any of the myriad "The [something]" bands, then I think we need more clues.

I too remain clueless about the "surpassing" part. I guess we simply need to add something to the name?

I think wishing each others happy holidays is too important to be stowed away in rumpus, so I'm moving it to gen-gen!

Hello AGSers. As you're probably aware, we have a database full of games and certain other things that pretend to be games, and that database has both regular users' ratings and a special panel score.

Now this panel needs fresh blood, because the current members can't keep up the pace, because of stuff that happens and various other perfectly valid excuses.

This post will give you a quick run down of how it works, although it probably doesn't work exactly like that anymore.

If that's TL:DR for you, here's the skinny:
* You'll pick a game from the database that hasn't been rated yet
* You'll provide a comment (a mini-review, simply) and a score
* You'll write in a specific thread what you've just done, because other panelists may want to review your review and bring aspects of it into question
* Rinse and repeat

We expect that a panel member
* Has been around for a while and is known in the community to be mature and respectful, or at least isn't a notorious troublemaker.
* Plays lots of AGS games
* Can remain neutral and professional, so like when I try to pressure you into giving TSP 5 cups you must have the integrity to tell me to bugger off.

Well, I think that's it. I'll remove this thread once we have filled the positions. If you think you're the one we're looking for, don't hesitate to PM me. If you still feel unsure of what the heck this is about, do spend some time browsing the database, checking out how different games have been rated and commented on in the past.

Happy holidays,
Andail

Lol, excellent, cheers

Correct! Well reasoned, Dadalus

AnasAbdin, your ability to randomly guess stuff out of the blue has failed you this time!

Keep guessing, me merry hearties (or ask for clues)

I don't want to be some kind of Grinch when it comes to handing out clues, but I think you've come quite far, your thoughts combined.

The only things you don't have yet is the king (a particular one (extra clue: A literary one, not game related and not Christmas related)) and something that goes with ass.

I'm pretty sure I was right there, so here's a really tricky one for your smarties:

That ultra-low resolution is quite cool, even though it will make many modern players scratch their heads...

I think your backgrounds mostly work, and I can definitely feel the Gemini Rue vibes, but you need to tone down the lighting slightly. It's almost hard to read the lower picture, when the shading/highlighting is so haphazard and egregious.

Nice of you to show us some early in-progress shots, I'm sure they'll turn out decent somewhere down the road!

...and also it doesn't work, number-wise.

Goodness, that's beautiful! Best of luck with completing this project.

Very good, Cuiki! You're either very clever or my riddle was easier than I'd thought.

And finally Mandle's puzzle is making sense to me now

Alright

I still don't even get the ME part. I suck at this game

Btw I think I accidentally locked this thread while browsing on my phone, sorry for that!
