CrucV: So, groza, do you want to reveal the theme or should I? GL mith: you can, but it won't hurt the team groza528: go ahead LeptonTheHeavy: good point, mith JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: Alright. GL dethwing: Oh good, Cruc is no longer yellow. CrucV: Ladies and gentlemen... CrucV: The theme for this puzzle hunt is... CrucV: 18th-century Hungarian literature! GL mith: sweet zorTkitty: woo!!!! wordcross1: w00t! zorTkitty: my forte! GL mith: i minored in that groza528: That's right! So I hope you all are up on your @$%*#(SGJ@^@@@@- vraal1: classical or neoclassical? groza528: uh oh CrucV: ...Uh-oh? Why uh-oh? LeptonTheHeavy: I'm Hungary. zorTkitty: so am I wordcross1: i majored in Lepton wordcross1: i mean, Hungary groza528: I think something may be wrong with the GL server CrucV: Gah! I KNEW they were making a mistake when they switched over to Lightning Rod Hosting. CrucV: So what do we do now? We can't hold the hunt if the server's down! Caetiri has entered the room. groza528: Unless... CrucV: Unless? MadIrishCelt: 25 groza528: Never mind, it's a crazy idea. CrucV: No, go on. groza528: Well, we DO have the shrink ray... LeptonTheHeavy: (this sounds scripted, guys...) GL mith: (you guys should've gotten me in on the flavor, i could've taken it down for you!) vraal1: it does not, it is completely uncontrived groza528: the one we were going to use for the "which ones are real landmarks and which are scale models" puzzle? CrucV: ...I'm listening. zorTkitty: of course its scripted :-D vraal1: I refuse to believe that groza528: We ould, y'know, shrink the teams down. Send them into the server CrucV: Genius! wordcross1: probably scripted in php, no less vraal1: CrucV: I mean, all those system passwords they'd need to collect in order to get the server up and running again... wordcross1: cause everyone knows that grz and cv are bots GL mith: (the system is down, y0) CrucV: It's practically a hunt of its own! wordcross1: haha CrucV: groza, you explain how this is going to work. I'll get the ray ready. groza528: Okay, teams. New plan. You're going to go in and navigate the server. groza528: Careful, though; the site's called the Grey Labyrinth for a reason. CrucV: Oops! The thing still needs a little calibrating. Hold on... groza528: The Labyrinth server consists of 49 nodes. JAlexWinter has left the room. groza528: Each node is named after, and bears some of the properties of, a GL forumite JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: Okay, I think I've got it. I'll just test it on this muffin... groza528: To open a node so that... CrucV: WHOA! SIGN ERROR! SIGN ERROR! groza528: Err... to open a node so that... CrucV: Man, I'm gonna be feeding the pigeons at the park for MONTHS... groza528: To open a node so that you can progress to other adjacent nodes, you'll need a password. groza528: Unfortunately, those passwords can be kind of tricky to work out. groza528: Almost as tricky as... as... CrucV: As solving a puzzle? GL mith: nah groza528: right, thx CrucV: No prob. I think I've got the ray working now. groza528: Great. I'm just about done explaining vraal1: set phasers on Groovy groza528: Don't get discouraged if a path dead-ends on you; it's important that you explore everywhere. groza528: I've heard tales of "meta-nodes", but you'll need to have done a lot of exploring before you'll encounter any of those. devjoe2: sounds great groza528: Okay, I think you're ready to go in. CV, is the ray ready? CrucV: Yep! CrucV: Everyone, sit REALLY still. You won't feel a thing... wordcross1: will Texas shrink down small enough? CrucV: There. Told you you wouldn't feel a thing! zorTkitty: I sneezed. GL dethwing: Everything is bigger in Texas. groza528: Nice. Okay, you're going to be starting with the Internet Stranger node. groza528: For that one we happen to know the password already... groza528: But what the heck, let's play a game anyway. :-) CrucV: Yeah! It wouldn't be a hunt without a kickoff puzzle! TripleM1001: lol GL mith: sweet The Mike Amok has left the room. LeptonTheHeavy: vote: mith CrucV: And since the password happens to be a name... Kargach: Go for it >8) GL mith: vote: lept, OMGUS CrucV: And this is the Internet Stranger node... GL dethwing: I hate you all? CrucV: Who's up for some Botticelli? Kargach: Woo! GL mith: ooh ooh GL mith: wait, i suck at botticelli GL mith: word, ge tin there wordcross1: me too GL dethwing: Me too. GL mith: bah wordcross1: i think Tallyvision: lets play jelly-botty instead! wordcross1: i might b eokay Kargach: Where you have to eat eighteen curries? Tallyvision: hehe exactly wordcross1: cello-batty? CrucV: Er, okay. In case some of you haven't played before, here's how it works: CrucV: We're thinking of a famous person, living or dead, real or fictional, with a last name that starts with an F. CrucV: Teams will take turns asking us Stumpers. GL mith: and here i was recruiting a mean lean mafia playing machine zorTkitty: F. Scott Fitzgerald GL mith: i should've gone after aga CrucV: Stumpers are questions that refer to people with the appropriate last initial (F). JAlexWinter: Florence Kargach: shh not yet CrucV: For instance, you might ask, "Were you Scout's father in To Kill a Mockingbird?", to which we'd reply, "No, I'm not Atticus Finch." CrucV: It's customary for the person running the game to set a forbidden category, one that's off-limits for Stumpers. CrucV: In this case, we'd like to ask that you refrain from asking sports Stumpers. Tallyvision: bah GL mith: pah wordcross1: i wouldn't know any anyway CrucV: If your team manages to come up with an F person we can't name, you get to ask us a General question. GL dethwing: Mah groza528: Er, CV? CrucV: Generals are yes/no questions like "Are you alive?" or "Are you known for scientific research? groza528: CV? CrucV: The point of Generals is to try to narrow down who... groza528: CV! CrucV: Yes? vraal1: is the password we'll need going to be a full name or just the last name (or is that part of what we need to figure uot) groza528: I... I think the shrink ray may have had some side effects... Kargach: probably just the last name CrucV: What do you mean? Kargach: but we shall see GL mith: nausea, upset stomach... GL mith: indigestion... zorTkitty: is it going to effect my ability to drive? groza528: I feel this odd compulsion to... either always lie when asked Generals, or always tell the truth. I can't tell which. LeptonTheHeavy: I have a weird rash zorTkitty: i have to work tomorrow CrucV: Whoa. Now that you mention it, yeah. I'm feeling a little strange too. Is yours a sort of tingling sensation? Lordkinbote3: spontaneous human combustion? wordcross1: oh hell JAlexWinter has left the room. GL dethwing: Good lor.d groza528: Nah, I kind of feel bloated actually GL dethwing: You guys are evil :-) CrucV: We must not have gotten the same side effect, then. GL mith: spontaneous combustion... took my love from me... JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: Okay, teams, new rule. If you earn the right to ask a General, you need to specify if you're asking me or groza. groza528: Right CrucV: Now, if you think you've worked out who we're thinking of... CrucV: You'll need to wait until it's your turn to ask a Stumper, and ask us a Stumper about the person in question. CrucV: If you think it's Alexander Fleming, for instance, you might ask, "Did you discover penicillin?" CrucV: Okay, I think we've covered it all. So, groza, have you got the random ordering of the teams? groza528: GoTeamGo, Midnight Oil, Team Kargach, Loozer, Texans of Texas, Amok Team, NoTeam, plugh TripleM1001: can we ask those sort of logic-puzzle generals which allow us to tell if you're lying or not? groza528: hmm... Lordkinbote3: we're inside a server. those kind of questions could kill us all in here groza528: just don't confuse the hell out of the mods? groza528: :-) CrucV: Right. Caetiri: Unseen is represented too. CrucV: Ah, okay. groza528: ah, welcome chantilly24001 has left the room. Caetiri: just got in a little late. groza528: ok, we'll add you in randomly... Caetiri: Thanks. (prays for not first) Sessie01 has entered the room. groza528: GoTeamGo, unseen, Midnight Oil, Team Kargach, Loozer, Texans of Texas, Amok Team, NoTeam, plugh groza528: not first groza528: :-) GL mith: hey sessie chantilly24001 has entered the room. Sessie01: *waves* GL mith: going to play or just watch? :P Sessie01: watch groza528: Okay, I think we're ready to begin! GoTeamGo, you're up! The Mike Amok has entered the room. JAlexWinter has left the room. The Mike Amok: Ugh. JAlexWinter has entered the room. chantilly24001 has left the room. LeptonTheHeavy: Are you a judge on "Canadian Idol"? LeptonTheHeavy: oops... at Groza, please CrucV: I am not... Paula Fabdul? Lordkinbote3: ha! LeptonTheHeavy: okay, CV CrucV: Stumpers you don't need to address. groza528: stumpers are to either Kargach: I'm guessing they're not Canadians >8) CrucV: It's only Generals we either lie or tell the truth about. groza528: which reminds me, we will confer for stumpers LeptonTheHeavy: do the two of you get just one guess between you? groza528: one guess, but we confer CrucV: Right. CrucV: SEKKRETLY. nickpaone32: that's sweet vraal1: do they get google at their dispoasl? :-) LeptonTheHeavy: if Ms. Abdul your anser? CrucV: 'Course not. CrucV: *to Google question. CrucV: Yeah, we don't know. Take your General. :-) LeptonTheHeavy: Farley Flex LeptonTheHeavy: Are you male? wordcross1 has left the room. CrucV: (To whom?) LeptonTheHeavy: to Groza groza528: Yes, I am male CrucV: Okay. unseen's up. zorTkitty: well we know that groza's telling the truth :-) Caetiri: Are you the first postmaster general of the United States? JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. groza528: clarifying on the google question, YOU don't get to google either, for stumpers groza528: for generals you can CrucV: Generals you can, though. Kargach: I don't NEED Google for stumpers >8) GL mith: ~googles sessie~ CrucV: Ah, no, I'm not Ben Franklin. GL dethwing: *googles your mom* GL dethwing: Ahhh!!! LeptonTheHeavy: ~oogles Ses... I mean. tjaxilla: are you an italian mathematician born in 1522 CrucV: I am not Fibonacci. Kargach: Are you the American credited with inventing television? tjaxilla: ferrari actually CrucV: Really? Kargach: (lloks like I jumped the gun) CrucV: Okay, then, take a General, tj. chantilly24001 has entered the room. JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: You're making me dizzy, you two. JAlexWinter: keep getting booted. tjaxilla: if i were to ask groza would he say you were alive or dead (to CV) LeptonTheHeavy: -> I'll maintain a thread in VSP containing the answers to the Generals CrucV: Yes/No, only, please. GL mith: i don't think that's a good idea lept LeptonTheHeavy: no? okay, I'll scratch it GL mith: i don't think it's meant to go outside of chat tjaxilla: same q without "or dead" JAlexWinter: Heck, I'm new to this site, and I'm completely lost on this concept and on what VSP is.. GL mith: but maybe i'm wrong there :P groza528: I'll keep a list of generals asked Kargach: I have no clue on VSP but I have my own list handy >8) LeptonTheHeavy: thanks Groza CrucV: Yes, he'd say I was alive. GL mith: http://www.greylabyrinth.com/discussion/viewforum.php?f=5 GL mith: VSP JAlexWinter: k Kargach: Now my turn? CrucV: Right. CrucV: Still the TV one? Kargach: Yep JAlexWinter has left the room. TripleM1001: [can the person asking question put their team name first so we know what we're up to] CrucV: Seconded. Kargach: I'm on Team Kargach if you hadn't guessed. >8) JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: I'm not... Farnsworth? Kargach: Got me,. >8) nickpaone32: LOOZER: Did you star in the "The Bank Dick?" groza528: No, I am not WC Fields nickpaone32: rats CrucV: Texans up! GL mith: go for it tally CrucV: Yeah! Go for Italy! CrucV: Wait, what? GL dethwing: Bah. Italy sucks :-P goetzjames1989: I agree CrucV: Shush, peanut gallery. :-) Tallyvision: Did you have a hit 80s song called 'Touch Me'?

CrucV: We've been over this. :-) The Mike Amok: I hope I've figured out what's going on, since I missed... the whole beginning. CrucV: I'm not... Frampton? The Mike Amok: Robert Fripp. CrucV: Righto. Ready, aim, General. groza528: how much is "the whole beginning" groza528: you know one of us lies on generals, right? The Mike Amok: I didn't see that, but I figured that was the case. Caetiri: One definitely does, or it's possible that one of you does or both of you do? GL mith: fos: groza CrucV: Exactly one of us does. GL dethwing: Vote: Mith CrucV: One of us is tingly, and the other is bloated. Two different symptoms, so two different states. QED. Caetiri: okay The Mike Amok: So... CrucV, are you North American? GL mith: maybe greze is a liquid The Mike Amok: Dumb question? CrucV: I am not North American. TripleM1001: NoTeam: Are you the voice of Stuart Little? CrucV: I'm not Michael J.

CrucV: Hmm... Ruling needed. groza, does that count as a sports Stumper? Kargach: I think I've been there. vraal1: i didn't see a rule on sports stumpers... did i miss one? GL dethwing: Yes GL dethwing: No sports. CrucV: It's the off-limits category. vraal1: i didn't think that was really "sports" because of the names - but if you rule against it, may i choose another vraal1: so, your collective call groza528: I think the person is ok, but the question is not. You can ask something else about the same bloke JAlexWinter has left the room. groza528: or choose someone else JAlexWinter has entered the room. vraal1: heh difficult, so i'll choose someone else - ask me later if you're curious who it is :D vraal1: Do you have a critically acclaimed acting career, a brother who is also a notable actor, and a silent L in your first name? tjaxilla: ooh i know i know CrucV: Shush, you. :-) CrucV: Best I can come up with is, "I am not Soleil Moon Frye". vraal1: not the person we were thinking of CrucV: And now that I think of it, neither L is silent in that one, I believe. CrucV: General to you. JAlexWinter has left the room. vraal1: Do you need to know the answer? JAlexWinter has entered the room. JAlexWinter: I apologize Kargach: Well tell tge rest of us anyway >8) JAlexWinter: because AOL won't groza528: yes, because no one else can use that person vraal1: Ralph Fiennes vraal1: who is pronounced Ray CrucV: Ohhhh. vraal1: :-) vraal1: ok Crucv, this one is for you - Were you born in the 1900s?

Kargach: I'd swear I saw that role performed before 1997. groza528: I was thinking the same thing Kargach: I think I saw Marge Simpson do it before 1997. CrucV: Presumably a misphrasing? nickpaone32: I'll stand by the question groza528: not Finkelstein? JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. nickpaone32: Renee Fleming was in the opera by Andre Previn Lordkinbote3: stretching the definition of "originated"... CrucV: I still disagree with the phrasing, but I strongly doubt either of us would have gotten it anyway. groza528: I wouldn't nickpaone32: It was an original work nickpaone32: based on the play CrucV: But the ROLE was not originated. Lordkinbote3: stretching the definition of original. :-) nickpaone32: OK, I'll take the hit Kargach: "Original work based on" should be your warning sign. >8) GL dethwing: So, no general? TripleM1001: [can somebody define 'entertainer'] GL dethwing: One who entertains. GL dethwing: ;-) Lordkinbote3: heh CrucV: Take a general anyway, np. :-) nickpaone32: I feel dirty Kargach: When I've played it can refer to actors, writers, musicians, etc. CrucV: Like I said, neither of us would have gotten it anyway. JAlexWinter has left the room. TripleM1001: ok, thx. JAlexWinter has entered the room. GL mith: did we ever get an answer on the format of the password? GL mith: no spaces, no caps, first and last?

GL mith: ok CrucV: No flooding the solution box with guesses, that way. :-) wordcross1: actually goetzjames1989: Don't want the website to break so soon do we GL dethwing: Too late. I've been trying ;-) LeptonTheHeavy: maybe less flooding, CV? =] Kargach: I'll wager half the teams are doing that already wordcross1: you're just making us flood it with more guesses nickpaone32: Groza: would I know you from the cinema, primarily? wordcross1: trying to figure out the formate :-P groza528: no, you would not know me from the cinema primarily vraal1: what team's turn is it now vraal1: oh i see heh GL dethwing: We're waiting on a genreal wordcross1: we are?

The Mike Amok: Is it fair to leave this open, even though I'm not here here? CrucV: Sure. nickpaone32: Groza: Did you first gain public attention by being in a movie? The Mike Amok: I'm a team of one. The Mike Amok: Alright. TripleM1001: 'in a movie' is probably still ambiguous.. are you including directors/etc Kargach: to me "being in a movie" would exclude the crew. wordcross1: i doubt that directors count as "in a movie" wordcross1: yeah nickpaone32: I am feeling dirtier and dirtier.... Ellie endes has entered the room. Kargach: "working on a movie" would include them wordcross1: yeah wordcross1: take a bath? JAlexWinter has left the room.

OK then. :-) vraal1: what i want to know is, is it coincidence that Botticelli wrote The Intimate Stranger, and this game is (named for a member, mind you) The Internet Stranger Caetiri: Er, wait... that was asked of CV.

Am I in the queue for questions? groza528: the list is too long to give in one shot now CrucV: Are you on a team Jaa? devjoe2: Were you that glass-eyed actor who played that cab driver in It's a Mad Mad Mad mad World? devjoe2: er, that's plugh's question Jaateloa: I am a team. Well. I just registered as myself, anyway. CrucV: I am not Peter Falk. :-) JAlexWinter has left the room. groza528: what is your team name? groza528: jaa JAlexWinter has entered the room. Jaateloa: Um. "Tahnan", I suppose, since it's just me. groza528: even if you are alone you must create a team of one CrucV: Ah! Hello! Jaateloa: <-- doesn't play well with others groza528: the way the site's coded groza528: hi Tahnan :-) vraal1: wow, he knew that one LeptonTheHeavy: is it GoTeamGo now? groza528: we'll add you to the end of the queue? that ok CV? devjoe2: ok that's correct, and now you can figure out where Tahnan plays Jaateloa: Hi Cruci, hi Groza. :-) Apologies for the absence. GL mith: you could be a texan instead, tahnan :P Jaateloa: Was "Peter Falk" right? devjoe2: yes Kargach: Peter Falk isn't exactly obscure. vraal1: oh yes vraal1: hey, i'm scratching my brain to not google for trivia questinos - cut me some slack, jack :P devjoe2: lol vraal1: that's the best i got :P CrucV: :-) GL mith: we'll let you play on your own GL mith: and look over your shoulder :P LeptonTheHeavy: GoTeamGo: Are you a witch from Arthurian legend? groza528: hold up, if we add Tahnan in it would be right here CrucV: Let's do that. groza528: end of the rotation wordcross1: i object to that question anyway :-P Caetiri: not really sure you can claim her last name starts in an F Kargach: I agree on that point. Jaateloa: I agree. Er, so, my question, is it? CrucV: It'd be listed in phone books as such. groza528: yes groza528: Tahnan, you're up CrucV: Same as Von Beethoven would be a B. JAlexWinter has left the room. CrucV: (If we know it, anyway.) wordcross1: well, that depends Caetiri: Since it seems you do, I won't object to the question then. =) LeptonTheHeavy: I guess it's a pretty easy question, then. :-) Kargach: Right, but the F word he;s thinking of is a title, not her name wordcross1: i object on the principle, but i won't make a fuss :-) wordcross1: what kargach said Kargach: As "Peter the Great" isn't a G name Jaateloa: Inspired by Plugh, then: Were you that bug-eyed actor who played Eyegor (not "Ee-gor") in Young Frankenstein? goetzjames1989: I'm thinking of a certain F word right about now.. groza528: I am not Marty Feldman CrucV: What hump? Jaateloa: Damn your eyes! JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: Damn! My eyes! What'd you do? CrucV: GoTeamGo, go. Jaateloa: Well, you got it right, is what you did. :-) wordcross1: your eyes are in Hell, now LeptonTheHeavy: GoTeamGo: Are you a witch from Arthurian legend? vraal1: <3 Jaateloa GL mith: where there will be weeping and gnashing of eyelids? wordcross1: lol groza528: No, I am not Morgan Le Faye vraal1: oh and so you don't interpret that symbol, it means 'testicles' vraal1: :-) Kargach: Meaning "Morgan the Fairy" wordcross1: indeed CWdragons: [Unseen] Do you have a molecule named after you? Jaateloa: ooh, nice. groza528: a molecule... hmm... CrucV: I am not Fuller! vraal1: I am not Fydrogen Kargach: Too bad, Bucky Fuller is awesome groza528: oh right, I was thinking L for some weird reason wordcross1: haha MadIrishCelt: Old English names regularly were professions - Baker; Arrowsmith etc. CrucV: So, a Fuller... fulled? wordcross1: .... so? CWdragons: yes LeptonTheHeavy: Smith goetzjames1989: Lepton - Blacksmith? LeptonTheHeavy: just smith JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. CrucV: Midnight Oil's up. vraal1: i think we'll all find this will go faster if we narrow down our questions to actually fit the facts (assuming you've figured out the facts) Jaateloa: for the love of god, can someone tell me whether this person is a musician or not? wordcross1: hahaha Kargach: I don't think that we can, no. vraal1: sorry jaa, that, unfortunately, is one part of the genius of this you'll need to figure out :-) Lordkinbote3: a musician is an entertainer, if that helps LeptonTheHeavy: mith is under the impression that he has an advantage by doing this groza528: To grz: Are you male? YesTo CV: if i were to ask groza would he say you were alive? YesTo CV: are you North American? NoTo CV: Were you born in the 1900s (century)? NoTo grz: are you fictional? NoTo CV: If I were to ask groza if you are male, would groza say yes? No Jaateloa: Even Michael Bolton, LK? GL mith: obviously i do, if someone can't figure it out :P groza528: To grz: are you an entertainer? YesTo grz: Did you first gain public attention by being in a movie? NoTo CV: if I were to ask groza what you would say if I were to ask you "Are you a Musician?", what would he say? No CrucV: Depends. Is it the Office Space Michael Bolton? LeptonTheHeavy: mith, I am saving my brain cells for other stuff. Like world cup beer and partying. Jaateloa: What's the goal here, by the way? To get the answer as a group, or to get the answer individually? CrucV: As a group. Kargach: One of us is trying to ask a stumper that forces them to admit who it is. groza528: right GL mith: i need some world cup beer vraal1: why do i feel we have to get to the name, but (s)he won't even be the password tjaxilla: Midnight oil - Are you an artist who was said to resemble one of your more famous characters? GL mith: and some partying vraal1: hehe TripleM1001: more importantly, we're trying to ask a stumper that stumps them so we can ask a GENERAL that helps CrucV: That'd be most artists, surely? :-) Kargach: No, if we want thew game to actually end, we want to give a stumper that gets a Yes answer. >8) Lordkinbote3: I know this one! wordcross1 has left the room. JAlexWinter: does that mean more clarification? CrucV: I'd say so. groza528: and I'd agree JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. Jaateloa: So if we wanted to do this as a group, why can't you tell me whether F---- was a musician? :-) tjaxilla: allow us a moment to confer GL mith: join the texans and we'll tell you :P Kargach: I can't tell you because I honestly don't know. >8) CrucV: Agreed. The game's gone on a blooming hour and a half already, man. :-) CrucV: (Maybe less. The skit was a bit long.) GL mith: wait GL mith: that was a skit?? goetzjames1989: I make it just over an hour CrucV: You have caught us in your trap of words. Curses. And drat. Lordkinbote3: a skit?!?! my innocence has been lost this day GL mith: your mom's innocence has been lost this day? groza528: well, the shrinking part was real. groza528: bwahahahaha! Kargach: I am definitely seeing why, when we played Botticelli in college, we didn't play as groups. CrucV: Yeah. You're all itty-bitty now. Jaateloa: (so confused) GL mith: don't you mean bwhehehehe? GL mith: you must be the liar. vraal1: That explains why my privates suddenly look bigger vraal1: er, wait LeptonTheHeavy: whose turn is it? why is this taking so long? goetzjames1989: No, vraal... different reason JAlexWinter: its all about scale Jaateloa: If I were to ask Groza to ask Mith why the name of his team is the Texans, what would CV say? groza528: they're rephrasing CrucV: Conferring over a Stumper, yes. vraal1: your team needs to wait its turn, jaa :-) GL mith: aside from "it isn't the Texans"? CrucV: <- unintentional Yoda, apparently JAlexWinter has left the room. JAlexWinter has entered the room. tjaxilla: Midnight oil - Are you an aliteratively named artist who was said to resemble one of your more famous characters? - whose actual first name begins with an Iname begins with GL mith: (it's Texans of Texas) CrucV: ...Good Lord. Tallyvision: (capitalisation IS important) groza528: should that end at "begins with an I" JAlexWinter: yes CrucV: We are, in fact, Isadore (FRIZ) Freleng. Jaateloa: I am so dizzy. Kargach: Blast. >8) CrucV: Well done, all! Kargach: and I knew that one. CWdragons: Yay! GL mith: wow JAlexWinter: woohoo! groza528: Remember, the password is just his nickname FRIZ. Leave off the last name. Kargach: got it CrucV: Case-insensitive.
