UPDATED POST!!

All Image Links

Get a feel for how Mayo draws and get different perspectives on the mess of lines.
(ex: Mayo has a standard way of drawing female hair; Mayo will sometimes pick up the brush and put it down again in a slightly-off spot)

2nd Coloring: http://i.imgur.com/Gq5auUP.jpg
3rd Coloring (most recent): http://i.imgur.com/txp8GGd.jpg

100% Sure about these Games

Super Smash Bros Melee
Grand Theft Auto V
Batman: Arkham Asylum

95% Sure about these Games

Pokemon Yellow
Super Mario Galaxy

Other Game Guesses or Ideas

- Flying thing on bottom left could be Navi from Zelda games, Lumox from Rayman, Sparx from Spyro, or a snitch from Harry Potter (maybe Harry Potter Quiddich World Cup?)
- Master Chief's helmet in the center. (not sure what someone meant by this, but if they meant the thing at the top, no, that's GTA5)
- car at bottom (not to be confused with the GTA 5 car to its right)
- (Ignore the tennis ball and chain. They're part of GTA5 again. The chain is attached to a dog, and the "tennis ball" is actually the dog's mouth.)

Submission Plan

Countdown to End of Match: http://goo.gl/pPgkkp

We've decided that our best chance of winning comes from sending ONLY 1 PM and making sure that PM ONLY CONTAINS GAMES IN THE 100% AND 95% CERTAIN CATEGORIES (right now, that means it would have 5 games). Since I'll be awake and have reliable power, alarms, and Internet service, I'll be the one to send the PM (around 7am-7:30am CDT, roughly 2 hours before the deadline). I will post here after I have sent the PM to confirm that I sent it.

If you think another submission plan is better, please discuss it in the topic but do not take action unless you see other group members also approving of your plan.

Anu ideas about the chain left of Navi?
It's part of the GTAV boxart, in which there is a barking dog on a chain at lower left. The dog would be what is attached to the chain, and the so-called "baseball" might be the dog's mouth.

And this "master chief helmet" you guys are talking about wouldn't be the guy wearing a gas mask at top middle, would it? That's also part of GTAV.

Thanks about the chain and "baseball."

Idk about Master Chief. I didn't see that myself, and the GTA5 guy at the top isn't exactly "center" of the entire image... though it is center in terms of left-to-right only.

Another lead:

I see what looks like Mario's face on the right side (note the eyes, nose, moustache, and cap with letter M on it): http://i.imgur.com/az0Udum.png

Mario is on the SSBM boxart, but that should be on the left side, so I think this Mario could be from a different game.

Additionally, note the arm extending from Mario's head:

This, and its position in the image correspond exactly with Super Mario Galaxy:

I was going to suggest Paper Mario for that: http://i.imgur.com/87Y0A0v.jpg

but Super Mario Galaxy looks more correct. It also matches up with some of the random scribbles, especially the one in the bottom right corner.

Two things concerning submissions:

I think we shouldn't submit any guesses on our list. Just games we're fairly certain of being correct so we don't risk losing the 2nd tiebreaker

Also, we should designate 1 person only to submit our list to mayo, since the team with fewest submissions wins the 3rd tiebreaker, should it come to that.

I suppose our chance of randomly guessing games is rather low given all the games in existence, so I might agree with you.

Okay, I'll update the post at the top of this page again.

Since I'll be online roughly 7am-7:30am CDT tomorrow morning, roughly 2 hours before the deadline for PMs, I think I'll be the one to submit. Plus I live on a campus that has generators in case electricity goes out, and I have two alarm clocks, so I'm reliable.

I tried going in with the eraser tool and getting rid of everything I could from games we know but with so much overlap I couldn't tell if I was erasing another game

It was also kinda freaking me out staring at that image for so long and I had to stop

Yeah, I don't think erasing/coloring is getting us where we want it to get us.

I actually feel like we have a decent chance of winning with a 5 game PM, but hey, anyone who wants to keep searching is welcome to do so. We still need to figure out that "Navi" thing, but that's the only lead we have atm I think. Oh, and maybe that car at the bottom center of the image.

I'll check back in this topic a couple more times tonight and then once in the morning before submitting. Good luck, everyone.

One last thing before I turn in for the night.

Just noticed this face on the left side (I erased some of the clutter around the eyes and nose). I don't know what it might be from, but maybe one of you does: http://i.imgur.com/l6Teg12.png

Beyond that, does it look familiar? ...maybe. Not sure.

Here's Master Chief: http://i.imgur.com/dEDVUbc.jpg (I see it black, so I suppose it isn't linked to another cover)

Notice the reflection on the helmet and the mouth cover thingie.


...But it might be just me seeing it.

Oh, ignore whether lines are black or non-black. I was trying to map stuff out and correspond things to covers, but that failed quickly, so there's not some kind of reasonable dichotomy between stuff that's not black and stuff that is.

I think I see what you're looking at, but I'm not convinced it's really Master Chief. It's a rather small head and I can't find the legs and stuff. And it would need a bunch of other stuff on the cover too if the person were that small.

That, and I don't think Mayo would put the effort into marking a reflection. That's probably just an eye on something.

What do you think? The winged thing is in about the right spot. Does anything else in that image exist?

I don't think the Rayman game is it. The flying lum's wings are too small, the shape is wrong, and I think Mayo would've drawn the hands if he drew that.

It really looks like Navi (other than being a little more square than it should), but I don't see any Zelda game covers that have that there.

And I still don't know what to think about the face.

Navi's only in Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, I think, and those covers definitely have no fairy there. :/

Oh well. I need some sleep and still can't find a perfect match for that Navi-like thing. (nor for the weird large face with flat-topped forehead Kefi found)
Hopefully one of these mysterious will be resolved within the next 4 hours before I wake up... oh shoot, am I only getting 4 hours of sleep?

...they have fairies, not Navi. Not that we should exclude other fairies, that's dangerous, and it makes me wonder why you guys keep saying Navi instead of fairy >_> that wording just makes things harder


Anyway, I think that fairy thing might actually be the rabbit thing from the SMG cover. Certainly not that Rayman game, since only one region's cover has that winged thing.

i have a hard time seeing Pokemon yellow in there.
i mean, i get why you'd jump to that conclusion.

but look at the pic http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/1/8/7/6187_front.jpg
the tail has 4 edges on the outside.
but on the drawing, it has 6 edges

and it's not even attached to anything that looks like it could b Pikachu

The two webbed feet being in the exact correct locations is just too make to allow a weird tail to make me think it's not Pokemon Yellow. It's possible I messed up the tail in paint.

I'm sending it in now:

Super Smash Bros Melee
Grand Theft Auto V
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Pokemon Yellow
Super Mario Galaxy


If there are any major qualms, I may be able to resolve it on my phone before class. But for now, this is our submission. Of course, if in the next 2 hours you guys find another game you're 95%+ certain is on there and someone agrees with you, you can send a PM with the updated list. It's better to have 2 PMs, one scoring 6 and one scoring 5, than to have 1 PM that only scores 5. (Though hopefully I'd check it from my phone and be able to take back my PM anyway.)

he said they already got Super Smash Bros and some small guesses, but nothing else concrete.

they already got safety, helping them now accomplishes nothing other than causing a tie breaker

All the parts of that mess which stood out to me are already part of our guesses ( aside from that winged square)

Isuspect we probably have more than most (hopefully all) teams.

Less than 10 minutes now. I guess we're good. I hope we win. If we do, we need to figure out what we're doing with Dominance. If we don't, we need to figure out the best way (which might involve being quiet and doing nothing?) to ensure we remain safe.

Perhaps, if we consider this to be Challenge 1.

Anyway, let's make a new topic with safety-stealing ideas. I'll be busy an not checking it for the next 2-3 hours though.

Note that by TES tradition whichever team we steal from will have the player to win the game at the end.

Posted. I tried to be civil, but people IRL often think I'm being rude when I try not to be, so the very same thing may very well happen here.

In any case, it will be fun to see where this takes us in the game, be it up or down.

I think it was a very good post, dry and to the point as needed.


And as I said in the other topic: it feels right hearing that being posted by you It would be a bit off by someone else in the Team, something staged and unnatural.

I suppose since it is MY chat with him, that does make sense. Maybe somebody else can post our next Dominance Decision (assuming the other teams ever let us win again).

There's surprisingly little reaction going on in the topic right now.
