I can't believe Mayo posted this challenge thinking it was possible someone wouldn't get 15/15. |

I'm probably going to have nightmares that somehow I overlooked something wrong with Gemini's submission. |

I was panicky about the like mayo one (it says "we" instead of "I") and the hate Machete one (it's a Great Machete). But from the topic I'd say mayo is being very lenient about what he accepts. |

Make it 495-499 to get the touhou bgm in there. I feel like #1 shouldn't be tough to find, someone correcting grammar while intentionally making a mistake of their own for humorous effect. I'll look for it later, though |

Why the hell didn't they just ask for an active post from 2002? I could've immediately shown you guys 3 topics that meet that criteria. Anyway, looking over what you've done so far, I'm not confident Baruch's Kanye West one works. The poster isn't so much defending Kanye West's actions as he is saying his words were true. |

Okay, now that I've chewed Mayo out via PM for saying merely "2009", I finished looking at the stuff that's been done already, and everything looks good to me except the Kanye West one. So that means I'm looking to answer #1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 14, and 15 |

Oh, and maybe this is just paranoia, but once every 20 blue moons you'll see a topic get unstickied. So I don't think you should be using a topic that could purge before the deadline if unstickied. Now if you added a post to it, it would be fine because then it wouldn't purge immediately upon being unstickied. But probably it's nothing to worry about. (And yet I do.) |

Okay, how about just post #18 from the same topic? That one seems to be further defending Kanye than post #14. Edit: And post #11 might work from here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/585186-superman/51351891 Or potentially #11 here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/951944-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/51408938 Just offering some options. Right now I'm still inclined towards #18 of the topic you originally linked.

Might work for question 12..

But Post #18 is more defensive than Post #14, because it says "this" in response to #14 and then adds that he isn't bothered at all. |

I think this works for Question #14 based on the context of the topic, but unfortunately the YouTube link is now dead: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/942282-metal-gear-online/44168360/483732035 Edit: Ninja'd. Take Kefi's, I guess, since that video still works. Edited by Dreamwalker, Jan 23 2015, 05:49 PM.

Other potential answers to #14 that I don't really need to be pasting here. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/928518-super-smash-bros-brawl/43209231 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/620831-super-mario-3d-land/60997159 (ACTUALLY, USE THIS ONE. IT'S WAY MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE TITLE. Edit: Actually, maybe don't. I just noticed he called it a "reverse rickroll" in his same post, not a later post. Stick with Kefi's, I guess.)

Baruch, go edit in what I told you to put for question 1. And consider what I said for 12. And change post 14 to post 18 for 4. Or we could just post the updated list when we get to the new page, I guess, since it would look better there. Edit: Oops. Forgot I could edit your posts. >_> Edited by Dreamwalker, Jan 23 2015, 05:55 PM.

I assume you mean post 2. I actually like this one better because it's much more specific like you said. While his mentioning that it's a "reverse rick roll" within the same post might eliminate any shock/comedic value (using those terms very lightly here >_>), it doesn't change that it fulfills all of mayo's requirements to the letter. |

I'm cursing myself now for never making a topic in which I posted with my alts in alphabetical order. That might've worked for question 3. I've been searching GameFAQs and finding things that come close but not any that actually have 10 in-a-row alphabetically yet. |

Yeah, none of guwa's or Luster's alt-posting topics that I know of have worked for #3. A chance encounter with an alphabetical alt list notwithstanding, I think our best shot is just looking through random topics on busy boards. One of the biggest obstacles is having the same user post again before another 9 posts have been made. Edited by Kefiroth, Jan 23 2015, 06:15 PM.

The problem with topics that aren't just about alts is that the probability the same account posts twice within 10 posts is greatly increased. |

Mayo confirmed to me that alts of the same guy count as different users, and he also said the post I found that mentioned "reverse rickroll" still qualifies as an answer to #14. I'm not going to edit Baruch's post, but I will take Post #101 and copy/paste into there and add the stuff we've found. Edit: Oh, Baruch is here still. Well, I'm still taking Post #101. Edit: Yes, Kefi, I googled "alt topic" site:Gamefaqs.com after attempting to combine words like "alphabetical" and getting no working results. With just "alt topic", I found it on the 4th page of results. Let's hope Hapex can't find this. Edited by Dreamwalker, Jan 23 2015, 06:35 PM.
