Here we go. This one can't be biased against any one team. Already got my pm. Should we split up the letters or the categories or just work on it randomly? Edited by radman9000, May 11 2014, 09:13 PM.

I think we should collaborate on Chimera. Also, I should've seen this challenge coming. I've played Scattergories before. I like Mayo's tie-breaker design an long rules list in general, though I fear there will still be some subjectivity. We can always bother Mayo via PM with a bunch pf questions about if various answers would be acceptable. |

Libra has started posting challenge answers in their quicktopic, but I don't see a link to their google doc. Even if I did, I'd want to open it rarely and only as an anonymous user. Btw, I notice our own doc was edited anonymously 2 hours ago. Was that just Mayo fixing something, was that one of us editing it, or was it somehow some kind of conspiracy already? |

Some of the pokemon will be pretty pointless to fill in Did mayo say anything about giving sources for more obscure things? I feel like some of these questions lend themselves well to having a ton of options almost no one knows about. |

Here's an idea I'm contemplating but am not sure if we want to do. Once Chimera gets 3 suggestions for as many things as possible, I could "randomize" which ones go to which teams, but I could bias my randomization to make us less likely to get what Libra and Aquarius have, provided we can get a good picture of what they have from their quicktopics. That might be a little mean and stuff though. |

I'd rather just fill stuff out there later, after Chimera gets enough to fill 3 lists (or fill them as closely as possible). |

if i understand it right, having things that are obscure is prefferable, to avoid anyone else guessing the same? so if you don't mind i'm gonna suggest a bunch of Scandinavian stuff. i'll just edit it all in this post as i go along. Warning: it will probably not be in order
all right. to cover all bases, i'll add a wikipedia link Movie based on a book A: Arn – Tempelriddaren http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arn_-_Tempelriddaren B: Bröderna Lejonhjärta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Lionheart_%281977_film%29 D: Du är inte klok, Madicken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_%C3%A4r_inte_klok,_Madicken E: Emil i Lönneberga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_i_L%C3%B6nneberga_%28film%29 G: Grabben i graven bredvidhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grabben_i_graven_bredvid J: Jönssonligan och Dynamit-Harry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6nssonligan_och_Dynamit-Harry M: Madicken på Junibacken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madicken_p%C3%A5_Junibacken N: Nils Karlsson Pyssling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Karlsson_Pyssling O: Ondskanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_%282003_film%29 P: På rymmen med Pippi Långstrump http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A5_rymmen_med_Pippi_L%C3%A5ngstrump R: Ronja Rövardotter http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronja_R%C3%B6vardotter_%28film%29 V: Varning för Jönssonligan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varning_f%C3%B6r_J%C3%B6nssonligan NOTE: All comic book characters i'm presenting are from the Swedish childrens comic called "Bamse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamse (basic info about the comic) http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%C3%B6ver_figurer_i_Bamse (that's the list of the characters) comic book characters: A: Annika Anka B: Bamse C: D: Doktor Pillerkvist E: Ek-Kurre F: Fru Gås G: Grävla Grävling H: Husmusen I: Isabella J: K: Krösus Sork L: Lille Skutt M: Mini-Hopp N: Nalle-Maja O: Ola Grävling P: Pållan Q: R: Reinard S: Skalman T: Teddy U: V: Vargen W: X: Y: Z: A fictional planet/country/city, N: Nangijala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Lionheart Edited by ROBANN_88, May 13 2014, 11:08 AM.

So... is my spreadsheet and Chimera sharing a bad idea? Btw, Trapt also says he thinks he figured out the mole (EpicMickeyDrew) and wants to share answers. I haven't replied to him yet, as I don't suspect we'll be wanting to share answers. I'm not sure how to deal with all these ally-like people we have though. |

Maybe I could shade the spreadsheet and as long as at least 2 teams volunteer what they're taking from the (near?-)completed spreadsheet it doesn't really matter if the third reveals what they're taking. That might help us with taking Rob's stuff without showing it to them and with Taurus taking some of their stuff without showing us. |

i just want to make one thing clear. the Swedish stuff i come up with should be left for us, not for the other two. mostly cause if we want to try and keep the alliance as secret as possible, anyone who looks them up would and remember my residence would instantly make the connection that they came from me |

If someone looks closely enough, the very fact that the 3 Chimera teams will have mostly different answers will be enough for that person to know we're working together. But ok, I'll keep your stuff away from the group. Idk what that means I'm doing with the spreadsheet or how we'll best cooperate with the other teams. *shrug* And nobody really commented on what to do with Virgo, so I guess I keep ignoring Trapt? |

i guess keeping it hidden from them isn't completely necessary, but maybe making a note of it that we've "called dibs" on them. i can make a post in there to explain my point. about Trapt. i'm making sure we don't pick the same Swedish stuff. apart from that, i got no opinion one way or the other |

Okay. Btw, this challenge frustrates me. >_> Mayo should've just rolled a letter and then if a tie-breaker was needed rolled a second letter. |

Okay, I put asterisks and labeled it for us. I guess I should start speaking with Taurus and labeling a bunch of other things too.... after lunch anyway >_> P.S. If Mayo decides this is too much to update after we go through all this work............................. Edited by Dreamwalker, May 13 2014, 12:57 PM.

I guess we look kind of bad with asterisks in the spreadsheet when Taurus just told me everything they'd put in their list already, so yeah, I'll keep the yellow (Gemini) coloring but add the actual game names. It'll make the list more pleasant to read and make our allies less suspicious of us. And regardless what happens in this challenge, there's no way we're getting shame... even if somehow our list is spread to some team who wants to sabotage us. Because our friend on Capricorn will happily take shame on this challenge by sending nothing. EDIT: btw, I think I'm too lazy to try to figure out what Libra and Aquarius are submitting, unless they actually paste their lists into their quicktopics. So that means I'll just pick some stuff at random down various columns in the Chimera spreadsheet for Gemini, when we don't already have something better. For example, I just gave us the first column of Pokemon. And I think I'm going to highlight one of the BlazBlue things for each letter possible for us as well. Note that sometimes I listed them by last name and sometimes by first name, so as to fill more spots on the list. Mayo said either name would work, right? Btw, does anyone here want to offer to start entering the yellow-highlighted things in the Chimera doc into the Gemini doc? You might want to add Rob's links too, for verification purposes.

I'm going to bed. I will TRY to wake up a few times in the night to check on the spreadsheet and stuff, but I can't promise my sleepy mind will actually go with that plan. There's a lot of stuff highlighted in yellow now: http://goo.gl/bdbcRO Can someone can start copying it over to Gemini's doc? |

Alright I put everything on there assigned to us so far. I notice a lack of comic characters... There are comics based on all sorts of stuff. TV shows, movies, etc. Simpsons comics, star wars comics, ALF comics tons of possible answers there |

Thanks, Rad. Chimera got the rest finished for us, and I've updated the spreadsheet a final time. I'll fill in the blanks in our spreadsheet myself. Then it looks like we'll be all done with 4 hours to go til the deadline. EDIT: Done filling in blanks. If anyone else wants to peruse our doc and make sure everything is filled out for us, you can do that. But I'm relatively confident I see everything filled now.

when i said "mark it with asterisk" i actually meant adding an asterisk next to the name. before you introduced the colour coding that you just put in asterisks was surprising. guess it's my fault for not specifying it
i sent mayo a PM telling saying that i can send him the links if he wants to, so it's covered Edited by ROBANN_88, May 14 2014, 09:09 AM.

So, I'm watching the doc as Mayo is updating.... and Cancer is winning atm... there's still a lot to go, but it's scaring me nonetheless. Aries, Taurus, and Scorpio are close on his tail. We're a little behind them but will probably still get safety.. hopefully. |

According to the Libra quicktopic, Toaster didn't even know what he meant when he wrote down Gizmo. I guess they found the duck example later after Mayo asked. Not sure how I feel about that.. |

So according to pronouncemyname, Aries is currently 1st and Gemini is (a few behind in) 2nd. If we manage to pull up to 1st, we'd obviously try to steal from Cancer. And if Cancer isn't a choice, then that means Leo is, and I'm guessing we steal from them. If Aries stays in first, hopefully Kefi or someone else who talks with people on Aries can get them to steal from Leo or Cancer or really anyone except us. Currently, Scorpio has its full membership on Chimera, so it would be better for Taurus to lose 1 player than for Scorpio to lose 1 player, if it came down to that, but obviously we shouldn't advocate for either thing. |

probably because there were 12*26-1 other rows and I'm human But sorry anyway. :/ And to lessen the blame on myself, I could say that someone from any of the 3 teams could've glanced down my list and double-checked for duplicates, provided they were awake in the 4 hours or so between when the list was completed and when the deadline came.
