2-24-62
5-34-41
6-21-56
11-48-59
12-20-60
14-49-54
15-27-63

Heh, even I can't spot more than two avatars I've used.
If I'm wrong, it's definitely Wayback's fault and not mine or my eyes'. :wink:

Maybe. I remember last time you posted a load of avatars you did have two avatars that I had briefly used that weren't my main one. Send me a message with my two others, one of them is pretty obvious, but I can't remember the last one.

So this took a lot longer once I started second guessing myself, here it goes:

Steph- 5, 34, 41
Nicole - 8, 26, 37
Jani - 9, 43, 57
Cam - 11, 48, 57
Alea - 16, 25, 44
Chris - 18, 45, 55
Nick - 12, 31, 61
Cath - 2, 24, 62

I also want to say Josh has 6, 21?, and 56.

and oh. Reading comprehension I only need 8

ANNNND they need to be in numerical order.

I'll repost them, the sets, in numerical order tomorrow. Sorry

I've no idea how many I matched, I had a bunch of pairs, but I only knew four trios for sure, Cam, Nicole, Me, Alea

I will be very happy if I got any additional trios correct. :D

Hooray! I am not last!

Now, to the challenge (hopefully):

Member name - numbers:
Gravity Defier - 16, 25, 44
dapyrox (can't remember how he spells it right now) - 11, 48, 59
jotabe - 20, 58?, 60
That's all I can think about right now.

We do, we do!

I updated the scoreboard; I am expecting at least one more response but basically consider your current position in the lineup to be more or less accurate of where you'll be come Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

For those who got perfect 24s, I do believe only Ed actually matched perfectly (all 21, no less) but because I allowed for more than 8 guesses to give as much of an advantage as possible, it appears as though you did.

I'll throw the answers up on Wednesday.

As always, thanks for playing. I'm thoroughly enjoying this so far. :)

Well you did have that one for a long time, not to mention the one you have now is face-like.

Because I've had many avatars, only one of them being Link, but my avatar is "usually" Link.

Some I really do not know, but I must attempt to match all of them! I think at least 8 triplets are correct, but we'll see.

Also, I'd like to say that Jota clearly has the best avatars. His were the three I got the fastest and that I was the most sure of.

1, 36, 49 -- Jebus (49 is almost a complete guess)

2, 57, 62 -- v-girl (I have a feeling 57 is someone else... possibly virlomi)

3, 20, 60 -- jota!

4, 33, 38 -- rei

5, 9, 41 -- steph (9 might be luet...)

6, 45, 56 -- mobius (45 is a complete guess)

7, 19, 42 -- volfield

8, 37, 58 -- I have a feeling these are actually three different people with val/valentine in their name... but oh well. valentinewiggin/valentinenicole/valwiggin.

10, 29, 52 -- syphon; 29 and 52 are 'out there', but I think I remember seeing bc_hornet with a "this space for rent" avatar? Or maybe that was someone completely different.

11, 48, 59 -- dap

12, 31, 61 -- hive_king

13, 30, 51 -- yebra (13 and 30 are complete guesses)

14, 46, 54 -- locke (46 is a complete guess)

15, 27, 63 -- powerfulcheese

16, 25, 44 -- Gravity Defier

17, 40, 50 -- luet

18, 24, 55 -- fris (24 is a complete guess)

21 -- LBT; this is my guess for the single-avatar-out (don't know if it's significant that this is around the 1st 3rd / 2nd 3rd border)

22, 35, 64 -- eddie / great saiyaman

23, 32, 47 -- no idea!

26, 39, 53 -- no idea!

28, 34, 43 -- virlomi (28 and 34 complete guesses)

I heard from no less than 5 people that Jota's was the easiest, most known. Just thought I'd let you know, Jota, for the warm fuzzies. :)

Okay. Let the guessing games resume.


1. Jason. I'm assuming it's not CezeN, because that's a Raggedy Anne doll, and, I mean, come on. Zen is like a baby.
2. Jan
3. Ali
4. Alea
5. Adam
6. Steph
7. Fred
8. Michael

Yeah for guesses!

This stuff was hard. I'm pretty confident about four of them (#1, #4, #7, #8), so-so on one (#2), but the others are pure guesses after the earlier ones were eliminated.
