Discuss the results here. Try not to give any answers away.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
You should all have got emails with the location of the results, and the password(s).
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Pfft! Foiled by specifics.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Grim..., would you mind resending mine to ? Something awry with Evening Star.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Oh man I should have gotten the kitten one. I'm sure I had a hand in naming it.

For quickness, here is a link to the results page.

Why did noone tell me that Nov's website was live?!
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
warhead has a shameful answer for "2: What is Sul's favourite drink?"
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
He sure does.
But then you played Cal's adventure game more than anyone, and couldn't remember what the place was called =]
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Syl - recommend you remove your email address and spambots love looking at IAmCal.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
I never played that game! Initially I thought you meant the "add a bit to the story" game. But I really don't remember the text adventure either.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Thanks Grim. Done.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
I'm sure it was you. You got right to the end then realised it was impossible to complete.
I'm sure it was you...
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
OMG! It's live
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
I'd have got that question right if it wasn't =]
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
I'm pretty sure it wasnt me.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
perhaps i blocked it from my mind
Posted by WarHead, around November 2005:
 
Is 'Nissain' Figaro a typo?
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Yup.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
"Amusingly, Sul didn't know that for sure"

I write lots of stuff. I can hardly be expected to remember all of it. And no doubt it was slightly influenced by answer 2.

You should really give me your job answer. I knew what you did. Sort of. :(
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
I haven't been (what you said) for over a year =]

%$%&*(()*&^%$£"%&^(%$£%$£
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Ok, fair enough.

And I was thinking of a different story. Didnt we have an ongoing story (not the three word one) in a thread? The tale was submition based.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Hmm, maybe.
Can't remember now.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Either way, you didn't know the answer =]
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Easy there Quiz Master, I wasn't disputing it, rather hoping someone would say "Oh you meant this one".
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
I'm just suprised Cal didn't do better.
I suspect he could have done if he'd spend some time on it...
Posted by Brock, around November 2005:
 
Or some time on here, the miserable fecker.
Posted by WarHead, around November 2005:
 
You're just jealous because of all the sex, 'n,' drugs, 'n,' rock 'n' roll he's enjoying in SF.



and so am I.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Yay! I'm not LAST! heh heh
Posted by cal_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
sul was right on 28 - saturn facilities did house 5e, so i'd accept that

i disagree with your judgement on #4

i might have accepted RedAndWhiteMan and CheekySexyGirlPrincess1337 for #25, since there were his name and the question was ambiguous

i think we should have gotten bonus points as suggested for #23 if we named 5 doc pseudonyms

are we sure it was black tuesday and not wednesday?
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Defo Tuesday

Happened on the 8th April 2003
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
I agree with bonus points for doc pseudonyms, however I could only remember 4
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Er... I thought we were not giving answers away, Cal.

Hmm... #4 was 'what is it', not 'what does it mean'.
#25. Stupid ambigous questions. If it had had a spelling mistake in it (like #20) everyone would have noticed. I would think that RedAndWhiteMan and CheekyEtc...1337 were names for names that Chris used, not Vic. Hey ho, we'll see how people feel.

#23 K, everyone that didn't will no longer get a point.

Google seems to agree with Sul about Black Tuesday.

I'll sort out further disputes tomorrow.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Miki scores 20/30 =]

I've given Cal an extra point for naming Doc's pseudonyms.
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 
Final Scores:

Warhead: 14
Syl: 17
Brock: 18
Miki: 20
Alfie, Sul, Cal: 23
Grim...: 27

Woo!

(I blatently only win because I wrote all the hard questions)
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Which 3 did you get wrong? Sorry, I'm too lazy to check-easier to ask you ;)
Posted by Grim..., around November 2005:
 

24: What is the longest not-awaited website that most definitely isn't "coming soon"?
The Mafia Game? powerpuff girls?

28: Who's offices did we walk around in Cal's impossible-to-complete text adventure game?
Can't remember

29: One day a load of posts went missing due to server troubles. What did we call that day?
Black Wednesday
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Ta :)
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
BTW Who is the Chris that is referred to? Not Vic?
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
Chris is one of the few iamcalers that I've actualy met. Apart from Beargod, Miki, Gobbo and Redmaiden.
Posted by WarHead, around November 2005:
 
Please answer the question.
Posted by Brock, around November 2005:
 
It's a different Chris. I think he's the one who had a profile pic of him(?) sat on the snowy floor with a snowboard on his feet.

He was, from memory, looking over the top of his sunglasses, laughing at the photograph taker.
Posted by WarHead, around November 2005:
 
....laughing at the photograph taker.


They're called 'photographers,' Brock.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
ROFL. Ah, yes, I remember him; he's best mates with Cal.
Posted by Brock, around November 2005:
 
No, laughing at the person, rather than some random photographer/group thereof.
Posted by Miki_DUPE1, around November 2005:
