Dec 8, 2012 5:41 PM -

Dec 8, 2012 5:46 PM -
Dave: I'll answer both of your questions in about 15 minutes.
Dec 8, 2012 5:47 PM -
Chad Sexington: OMFG the anxiety. This must be what stienman felt like while waiting for the birth of his son. It is undoubtedly directly comparable.
Dec 8, 2012 5:49 PM -
Dave: It's exactly like that.

MindDetective: oooo....
Dec 8, 2012 7:07 PM -
Dave:
Chad Sexington - Is the LAST letter of the country an "A"? - No.
Dec 8, 2012 7:08 PM -
MindDetective: How zoomed in does the screenshot need to be?
Dec 8, 2012 7:08 PM -
MindDetective: I hope that doesn't count for my question!
Dec 8, 2012 7:08 PM -
Wahad: very zoomed in
Dec 8, 2012 7:08 PM -
Wahad: as far as possible while still being distinct
Dec 8, 2012 7:09 PM -
Wahad: (to wit, the location in the first contest was a /boat/)
Dec 8, 2012 7:09 PM -
Dave: It doesn't. At least 5 miles.

Dec 8, 2012 7:12 PM -
Dave: Hurry, boy! It's waiting there for you!
Dec 8, 2012 7:14 PM -
HCGLNS: Are you willing to clarify your previous answers? As there are many countries in that region that are both above and below the Tropic of Capricorn and some in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
Dec 8, 2012 7:15 PM -
Dave: Whether the country spans multiple locations doesn't matter. The place in question fits the criteria.
Dec 8, 2012 7:16 PM -
MindDetective: Need more questions about the item...
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM -
Wahad: we'll get there eventually MD

Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM -
Chad Sexington: Dammit Huggles! HOW DO YOU DO THIS
Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM -
Dave:
BErt - Maybe. I'll say yes, but it really depends on the occupants of the house.
Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM -
Wahad: No seriously how - with the questions provided I can not see how you can narrow it down to two without guess work
Dec 8, 2012 7:23 PM -
Dave: It's a common thing in MY house.
Dec 8, 2012 7:28 PM -
Dave:
Officer_Charon - Does the country end in "E"? - No.
Dec 8, 2012 7:29 PM -

Dec 8, 2012 7:34 PM -
HCGLNS: I steal Chad's Halbucks.
Dec 8, 2012 7:35 PM -
Dave: Bonus clue! The location this year is not a man-made location or structure. INstead, it's something I saw on Google maps/earth that looked cool.
Dec 8, 2012 7:36 PM -
Dave:
Dec 8, 2012 7:41 PM -
Chad Sexington: NO HUGGLES. NOOOOO

Dave: But you wouldn't quite measure them the same way.
Dec 8, 2012 7:53 PM -
BErt: Aw dang
Dec 8, 2012 7:54 PM -
Dave: Don't worry, BErt. My answers can be like that. A toaster is basically a box. This object isn't remotely box-like.
Dec 8, 2012 7:59 PM -
Dave: I turned the Member List Manager back on for a bit so you can check out the user a bit easier. I'll turn it off once the contest is over.
Dec 8, 2012 8:00 PM -
Officer_Charon: No kow-towing to the bleatings and mewlings of the barnyard creatures, Dave!
Dec 8, 2012 8:00 PM -

Dave: (Had to look it up.)
Dec 8, 2012 8:06 PM -
HCGLNS: heh, I knew where it was 8 questions ago, I just like making you look stuff up
Dec 8, 2012 8:07 PM -
Dave: Riiight. Send me a screen print, chuckles!
Dec 8, 2012 8:07 PM -

Dec 8, 2012 8:09 PM -
Dave: Look at Chad Sexington talking some merde!
Dec 8, 2012 8:12 PM -

Dave: I hate you, Hugh. Hold on.
Dec 8, 2012 8:25 PM -
Dave:
HCGLNS - No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:27 PM -
Dave: And that was Place question #4.
Dec 8, 2012 8:28 PM -
Dave: That was a better question than I intially gave you credit for, Hugh.
Dec 8, 2012 8:32 PM -
Dave: Next questions are being taken now. Don't everyone talk at once.
Dec 8, 2012 8:33 PM -
HCGLNS: Well Burundi is in the region, has French as an official language and has outlawed homosexuality, so I thought it was apt.
Dec 8, 2012 8:33 PM -
Dave:
Wahad - Does the country's name end in a vowel? Yup.
Dec 8, 2012 8:34 PM -

Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM -
BErt: It's certainly possible that I missed something or that I'm stupid
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM -
Dave: Province of Equateur? Son of a-! I don't know. Hold on.
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM -

Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM -
MindDetective: oh oops
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM -
MindDetective: let's say the province of Orientale
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM -
HCGLNS: The best part of this game is making Dave learn.
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM -
Dave: Shut up.
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM -
MindDetective: *brofist*
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM -
HCGLNS: Say Dave, what is money made out of again?
Dec 8, 2012 9:02 PM -
Dave: @MD - Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 9:02 PM -
Dave: And that's the last free Place question.
Dec 8, 2012 9:03 PM -
Dave:
HCGLNS - Depends on the place and denomination.
Dec 8, 2012 9:08 PM -

HCGLNS: Booo! I want to drag this out over a week like last year.
Dec 8, 2012 9:27 PM -
Dave: I'm starting to get a headache. If nobody has the answers by 4 I will be doing the rest in the thread. Like last year.
Dec 8, 2012 9:28 PM -
Wahad: Challenge accepted.
Dec 8, 2012 9:29 PM -
Dave: Officer_Charon has the user.
Dec 8, 2012 9:30 PM -
Dave: At this time, each person can have a question about the user and the object. If you send me a confirmation of the user, you can have 2 guesses about the item. (or place if you don't have that yet.)
Dec 8, 2012 9:31 PM -
Dave: Wahad has the place AND person.
Dec 8, 2012 9:33 PM -

Dave: I don't know what the avatar is from.
Dec 8, 2012 9:44 PM -
Dave: I have an idea but I can't be 100% certain.
Dec 8, 2012 9:44 PM -
Dave:
BErt - What do you mean by that? Can I get an example?
Dec 8, 2012 9:46 PM -
Wahad: Since it's a question I paid for, I shall clarify; - A major franchise is things like MLP or Disney movies or GI Joe or things like that
Dec 8, 2012 9:47 PM -
Dave: Ah. Then no.
Dec 8, 2012 9:51 PM -
Dave:
Officer_Charon: Does the item make noise? No.

Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM -
HCGLNS: If you are flying your mount in WOW and end up timing out on the server, are you flying when you log back in?
Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM -
Wahad: Not helping, huggles
Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM -
Wahad: ):
Dec 8, 2012 9:56 PM -
Dave: BErt - Hard to answer. It's a single item made up of a lot of things.
Dec 8, 2012 9:56 PM -
Dave: And yes, you are still flying when you log back in
Dec 8, 2012 10:00 PM -
Dave: Okay, questions can now be asked exclusively in the contest thread. 1 question per person per DAY until we get a winner.
Dec 8, 2012 10:06 PM -
Dave: I'm heading out for a night with the wife. I'll check back in a while.
