0 'til 10: The Pweb Decathlon - Happy 10th Birthday, Pweb!

[steph]

I know that I would fail at this, since having a baby causes you to loose all memory skill! I'm glad to see I made a lot of people's lists. Mine is an easy one!

I'd donate a baby pic, but I don't know when I'll get up to my mom's house next. Is there a deadline?

[jotabe]

And Jota, yours was by far my favorite to read.

^_^

[human.]

Oh! I know 5 of those last names on my list!

[Gravity Defier]

Okey dokey, the scores have been caught up to date and the opening post has been cleaned up with some additional information thrown in.

If you're not going to check that now, be sure on Wednesdays to read the opening post first; if you don't see the event of the week posted in there, feel free to read the rest of the thread. If it has been posted, read that first to make sure poking around in the rest of the thread won't be against the rules.



If you didn't play in round one (or disqualified yourself by replying, indicating you read other replies), feel free to jump in next round; you're obviously not obligated to do each (or any) thing.

And remember, Lame Prize Surprise is on the line, so do your best and hopefully have some fun.

[Satya]

What do they win?

[Gravity Defier]

A week old pancake, a Wal-Mart price drop smiley sticker, and a high-five.


Does it matter? I tried to reiterate that it will be small/lame to get across the point that if anyone plays for that alone, they'll be severely disappointed in the end. I mean, not to get all afterschool special on you but the real "prize" is bragging rights over knowing a bunch of useless information that still somehow matters.


ETA: Just in case anyone is a goober and doesn't realize I'm joking up top about the pancake, sticker, and high-five, I'm joking up top.

[Loreths]

Can I go way back?

CP-Kate(know last name)
Fallenangel- Liz(know last name)
Janeosc- Mia(know last name)
Petra- Kim(know last name)
Hamster- Jason( yeah, I think I know his last name)
And then let's see...
Alea?
Dave...there was a dave at some point
Mike
Bob

[Gravity Defier]

I know you're checking the OP first on Wednesdays, right? So you're seeing this after the fact?



Task 2 is up; no peeking at other responses, boys and girls.

[Syphon the Sun]

I actually struggled with some of these; especially after my brain got stuck on one answer and I couldn't think of another!

ETA: Invisi-type!

There was one on each that I struggled with, but I just wasted about an hour at work so I don't care. I drew my own cross word thing out to make it extra time consuming. Word on the invisi-text.

ETA: Now that I see it's Strokeman, I seriously have no clue what the odd couple thing means.

[Mich]

I got two. I'm horrible enough remembering real names that get used all the time on the board, now you need me to remember names of people who never post here?

4 - sparky_adams (I could have sworn this was an 'ie' and not a 'y')

It was both, actually. The older is the one you think, the newer is the one you put. I didn't include the underscore, I think, when I made it but I'll accept either if the person actually knew it.

What? You thought this was really going to be mindless? I'm educating you, Jeff. Just go with it. (And thanks for trying!)

I don't think I can answer any of these, except that Limegiver gave out Limeaid...

[zeroguy]

My entries. I could have filled in MIA 4D, too, but I accidentally saw a post in this thread mentioning him before figuring it out, so that one doesn't count. Took me a couple of nights; hooray, now I can read the thread!

My tales of struggle: (invisi'd for clues, I guess)

AFKA 4D took me awhile. I actually only got this because I tried to fit the longer version of this name in there and thought... hey, it fits if I just take away some letters! I figured there's probably somebody named that on the board... I don't actually remember this name, to be honest. (but other responses suggest I am correct)

AFKA 1D was the last one I got, because I did not -- and still do not -- recognize "GoofyLM". Can someone tell me what that is? I never would have gotten this if I hadn't had the other filled-in letters as clues.

MIA 2A I got immediately; that's who he will always be to me. (and the rest of you all suck for thinking of him as anything different)

MIA 1D took a long time, too (penultimate), because I thought I needed to find the 'first' name of the poster... and that wasn't their first name. Again, I just thought... eh, someone else probably had that name.

MIA 5A was sort of a guess; I thought it was a "philly boy", but I don't really remember who those are... but hey, that name fits.

For a while, on MIA 4D, I was thinking of adam/locke, and if he had some other name or something I didn't remember. I assume I would have gotten this eventually, but c'est la vie.

Edit: Also, I think MIA 9A and 3D are my favorite clues. :) 9A sounds like an answer on jeopardy.

GoofyLM introduced himself and who he used to be here.

[Gravity Defier]

The "what" in "Can someone tell me what that is?" question was throwing me, to be honest. I thought it was asking what it meant or stood for and not if it was a username/member.



And very late response, Catherine but:

I realize I didn't participate in part 1. But these looked so fun I had to try! Nice work Alea

Please feel free to come and go as you wish and thank you for thinking so. It's good to see you around again.

Okay, holy carp this was hard. I think I have 8 sets and I'll name some others just to be safe or something.

1, 22, 36 = Jebus

2, 24, 62 = v-girl

3, 20, 60 = JotaBe

8, 26, 37 = valentinewiggin/nicole

10, 29, 52 = Syphon the Sun

11, 48, 59 = Dapyrox

15, 27, 63 = Powerful Cheese

16, 25, 44 = Gravity Defier

That's my eight. Here's some other guesses.

5, 41 = Steph
6, 56 = Dr. Mobius
14, 54 = locke
18, 55 = WindSwept
26, 32, 43 = Virlomi
33, 38 = Rei
35, 64 = Eddie Pinz
40= Luet
51 = Yebra




I really hope you post the answers to this one at week end!

[Eddie Pinz]

You are absolutely driving me crazy. I think I am close to getting them all, but some of them are killing me. Here are eight definites.


Avatars

Jota: 3-20-60

Gravity Defier: 16-25-44

Luet: 17-40-50

Dap: 11-48-59

ValentineNicole: 8-26-37

v-girl: 2-24-62

steph: 5-32-41

Rei: 4-33-38

[jotabe]

Ok, let's see... my long term memory sucks, as always x_x


Jebus - 1 (did he ever had a different one?)
Steph - 5, 41 (it's blurry can't see)
DrMobius - 6 (maybe?), 56 (see the pattern?)
ValNicole -8, 37
Virlomi - 9, 43, 57
SyphontS - 10 (usually his face is on them, don't see any of his other avatars, though)
Locke - 14 (prankster king mode XD), 55
Powerfulcheese - 15 (cheese but now power ), 27 (here is the power now )
Alea - 16, 25 (that's easy, has your name ), 44 (couldn't be otherwise )
Hive_king - 12, 31 (didn't know this webcomic before his avatar), 58
Rei - 33 (it's Rei herself, obviously), 38, 42 (maybe?)
Eddie Pinz - 35 (triforce!)
Luet - 40
Dapyrox - 48, 59
Yebra - 29, 51, 52 (don't think his renting business ever worked)
V-girl - 62

[Jebus]

Heh, even I can't spot more than two avatars I've used.

[Mich]

Woah boy, here we go again. I recognize almost all of these, but either can't remember who the heck it goes to, or second-guess myself.

1 Jebus
4 lain
5 steph
6, 54, 56 Dr. Moebius
10 Syphon the Sun
11, 48, 59 daPyr0x
12, 61 hive_king
14 locke
15, 27 Powerful Cheese
16 Gravity Defier
20, 60 jotabe!
33, 38 Rei
35 Eddie Pinz
37, 62 Young Val
40 Luet
51 Yebra
55 Fris
62 Young Val
63 limegiver

I don't think I missed any that I for sure know, but man, it's entirely possible. Meaning I only know two, and one of those is pretty iffy. I just really, really hate guessing when I am absolutely not sure.

Edited to make it so I didn't have a 64 line long post.
