    So I should only consider the first guess and not read any further guesses?

    Well, it would be unfair to give 5 answers in a post, so I yes: Go for the first name/answer given in a person's post. If it is absolutely clear that someone revises his/her answer, than you go for that one. I'm not sure if Mesmero is just in doubt (seems so) or he has changed his answer to Chev. If I had to judge these answers, I'd say that mesmero's answer is still Mathetais... (if somebody knows a fairer rule, please suggest it)

    @Dice: No way! No overlord here. :p I only started the thread. A set of rules will develop over time (not only by me) and rules are more like guidelines to me anyway. Questioner will be the judge of who can get it, I suppose.

    I can't quite remember the thong-thing. What was it about? Got a link?

    Do a search for the word "thong" in the title of the thread in the Creativity Surge and read through Hacken Slash's virtual masterpiece. It spans about five threads IIRC.

    Before my time? We're definitely talking classic BoM here! I'm shocked to say this is the first I've heard of it, but my God was that ever a funny read! :D

    I'll go simple, what was the system in place before the gems were introduced?

    An old friend got stuck with a goblin avatar and was teased a lot for it. :)

    Who gave a short but enlightening lecture on the meaning of several drow phrases, in particular a few profanities used in a classic PC game.

    Now that I've read it again, I vaguely remember writing it... but when I read Paracelsi's post? No recollection whatsoever. Despite remembering that I binned a print of a Drow dictionary a few years ago - I couldn't recall even back then why on earth that thing was in my desk drawer!

    Thanks for solving the mystery for me and for the trip down the memory lane, even if it is foggier than London. :shake:

    Foggier than a north east coastal town would be more accurate. I've never found London to be all that foggy but somewhere like Seaham, for example, is unbelievably foggy

    That's true, it's just a funny saying these days. Prior to around 1960 though, London was famous for its fog due to all the domestic coal fires.
