Guess Who? Drabble Contest

Constable Jaynin Mimetes · **Posted:** October 20th, 2010, 2:16 pm

Every drabble found in a Dragon Egg was written by one of your Marcher Lords. Some wrote more than one. It is now your task to figure out which Marcher Lord wrote which drabble. How well do you know the writing style of your Marcher Lords?

For each drabble there is a corresponding four character code (check the url of the drabble to find it). Match those codes with the authors below and see if you guess right! To help you out, we've told you how many drabbles each author wrote.

White Raven [2]
Sir Emeth Mimetes [1]
Lady Esmeralda [2]
Raven of the Wood [1]
Airianna Valenshia [1]
Vanya Katerina Jaynin [2]
Duchess Daisy [2]
A Mysterious Guest [1]
Willow Wenial [2]

This is where we post the guesses for the drabbles, correct?

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** October 21st, 2010, 8:12 pm

Yes ma'am!

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** October 21st, 2010, 9:26 pm

I don't remember seeing the name "A Mysterious Guest" before. Hmm....

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** October 21st, 2010, 9:28 pm

Yes, a Guest of someone very special and very high up (not the red name, but really close).

And the guest is named my favorite biblical name!

Elanhil · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 2:49 am

Can you post the drabbles here, rather than having to navigate between 16 tabs?

Matthew, perchance? He is close to the Big Red, but not quite...

(By the way, I'm guessing I know who wrote the poem one...our very own master of poetry!

How far off am I?

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 9:29 am

Here is where HW members will gather together to discuss which of their ML’s wrote them which Drabbles. HW is all about community and teamwork, so work together, toss back ideas, and come to conclusions. This is the second phase of the dragon egg hunt. When you guys think you have come to a conclusion then post your answers in the sister thread ‘Await your Fate (drabble guesses)’.

Here are the Drabbles.

Well, Drabble number 2 is Neil of Erk, I'm pretty sure.
Drabble 3 is Jay
Drabble 4...Duchess Daisy? I don't know...
Drabble 5 is Lady Vanya Katerina Jaynin, definitely!

Drabble 6, um, Lady esmeralda?
Drabble 7 seems like White Raven (at least, it has her trademark font color!

)
Drabble 8 is, um, Raven of the Wood?
Drabble 9...seems like Willow Wenial to me
Drabble 10 I'll guess Duchess Daisy again
Drabble 11...Willow wenial.
Drabble 12 I'll guess White Raven (I felt more sure about the earlier ones

)
Drabble 13...Mysterious guest?
Drabble 14 is Lady Esmeralda, methinks
Drabble 15 is Airianna, I'm sure!

(I can't remember who did how many, so I may have put too many for some people...but no one did more than two, I think)

Random guesses, except for 14. The writing style is familiar I think.

All wrong.

Whythawye · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 9:53 am

I am wondering how many people noticed the neat animation effects I threw into the drabble pages...

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

I noticed!

At least, I think I did...I saw some -moz-transforms in the code!

(Yes, I even stooped so far as to checking your code to see if it gave a hint as to the author, but y'all covered your tracks well.

)

That was the css3 to tilt the eggs. There are more effects.

Hehe, I covered those tracks, yes.

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

More effects? It's now my duty to find these effects.

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

Well, mousing over the egg makes it shake...and I think it would shake smoothly in Safari but it doesn't in Firefox. Are there any more?

It doesn't shake very smoothly.

Yes there is one more effect.

The one egg cracked and a dragon eye showed up

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 10:04 am

I didn't even know there was another effect!

Hmmm... I need to check into that.

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

Let me know if you find it...now I'm curious!

Eleven of your guesses are incorrect, Andrew.

Constable Jaynin Mimetes · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 10:42 am

Moderators Note: There is really only need for one thread for the Drabble Contest. Jay says he and Airianna got it all a little mixed up, so Hannah and I straightened it out.

Drabble Contest Rules
You must post a list of five or more guesses.
We will tell you how many guesses you got right, but we will not tell you which ones.
You may guess as many times as you like.

This is a little like Clue. (played clue?) Keep that in mind and you won't get confused. Now guess away!!!

Aris Hunter · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 2:48 pm

[Stares blankly] Oh boy.... we have to have at least five? I think mine'll all me really random, I've barely read any!!!

Um... argh, I don't know! Does the egg dropping when you click on it have anything to do with it?

Ok, here goes.

Egg 4: Sir Emeth Mimetes
Egg 2: Vanya Katerina Jaynin
Egg 5: Airianna Valenshia
Egg 15: Raven of the Wood
Egg 14: A Msyertious Guest

All more or less random guesses.

Manda Kondrael · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 2:55 pm

Just guess. That's what I did. No, the egg has nothing to do with it. It's just something Emeth did for fun.

Perfectly fine with me, though.

Now I've got some more solid information to go off of... ::adds results to top-secret document::

I'm going to stop voting for the day, I think.

Gotta let other people have a chance.

It's time to write rather than play... :book:

I have a top-secret excel spreadsheet that looks like a giant clue paper.

I'll make some new guesses later today, maybe.

Since I totally missed the dragon egg hunt, I guess I'll participate in this mystery game thingy.

One question: I didn't see Neil of Erk listed as one of the Marcher Lords who contributed drabbles (at least, the list posted on the first page of this thread). Did he write some of the drabbles? I'm confused.

Second question: Are we allowed to keep guessing, or do we have a maximum number of guesses we can make?

This is really fun!

Constable Jaynin Mimetes · **Posted:** October 22nd, 2010, 10:32 pm

You got one right.

I'm going to drop you a hint... some of the others were really, really close...
