MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.08 16:10:00 - [1] Hi there everyone, I'm giving away a Guardian-Vexor to the first person who can correctly answer the following question? What is my girlfriends first name and surname initial ? For example Jenny K To answer some of the questions that will probably be posted. Why am I doing this? Because I'm worth about 200b isk and people need to understand that eve is just a game. Am I being serious? Yes totally, if you don't believe me, don't bother responding. How will I know that you won't just lie if someone gets the correct answer? You won't, you will just have to trust me, and seeing as I'm asking for nothing in return does it matter? Where is the ship? It's in Jita 4-4, I recently purchased it from Violent CEO who can confirm the transfer if needed. Am I Violent CEO's alt? Nope I purely purchased this ship for a bit of fun here. What's it worth? About 7 - 10 billion isk currently, hold onto it for a while and the price can only go up. Can we have a clue? Sure, my girlfriend is English, that's all your getting :) Have a go by responding to this post, I will not respond to eve-mails on this subject. Remember we all love this game, but it is only a game, so fly safe and have fun !! MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.09 06:37:00 - [2] I will add clues as time goes by, and your welcome to 1 guess per day. Clue for today, no-one has guessed the right forename or surname initial. MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.10 19:12:00 - [3] No-one has yet guessed the correct forname, the surname initial was correctly guessed on the 9th June! MaVla.
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.11 11:34:00 - [4] Some intresting guesses there :) And btw I never remember saying I was giving a clue away per day, but here's another one for you all anyway ! Her surname initial does not appear in her first name. MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.11 12:02:00 - [5] Originally by: Khan Jogre Sam/Samantha F? Which one? MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.11 12:27:00 - [6] Originally by: Khan Jogre Argh I have to go teach now I wont see if i was right or wrong for at least 2 hours, and the kids will probably ask why I am shaking like a leaf Sorry, you was wrong on both counts, I was just having a bit of fun asking you to pick one :) MaVla.
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.12 07:13:00 - [7] Originally by: Jade Kach'tiare Edited by: Jade Kach''tiare on 11/06/2007 22:07:36 Keirah L Does spelling count btw? would be nasty to see you had the right name but only 1 letter spelling difference wouldnt it? Spelling does count. As there are 2 ways of spelling her name, and concider that your 'minor' clue for the day. MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.13 07:44:00 - [8] Ok another little clue for you all. Her first name has 4 constenents in it. Keep trying, someonewill get there eventually! MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.13 10:29:00 - [9] Originally by: Ray McCormack Originally by: Freyya You might want to explain what a constinent is..i had to look hard on what it means and i'm still not sure if i get it Consonant. A letter that is not a vowel. Vowels being A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y. Thanks Ray :) MaVla BTW Ray, if you win please don't let me see this ship in the next Big Lottery :p
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.13 10:49:00 - [10] Originally by: Khan Jogre Out of curiosity, has anyone been really close yet? More clues at a later date will answer that one :) MaVla I'm trying to structure this so that if people may the effort (as it is a big prize for nothing) and read back all the answers and use the clues they will have a better chance of winning! If it goes down will I will do another one for my son's name :p

MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.13 12:05:00 - [11] Originally by: Fire Born English names as in England, or English as in American ? As in England MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.14 10:05:00 - [12] Another day another clue. Her first name contains a prime number of characters. Don't know what a prime number is ? Go look it up :) MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.15 11:52:00 - [13] Originally by: Ashermoor its Sylvia Saint, but its not you girlfriend, bcs its a girl from dvd which you are handlingin your hands I wish it was she is hot :p , but seeing as her first name has 6 characters it cannot be the answer. Read the clues before you guess people! MaVla Clue for today : Fish ?
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.17 19:16:00 - [14] Originally by: Keitaro Baka No more clues? With the last clue I have to guess: Marissa T. There will be more clues, I have had a busy weekend though and I still have a hangover :p MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 10:17:00 - [15] I'm a bit on the busy side at work so I have had no time to think of any clues that are not going to make it too easy ! Clue : Her first name is traditionally from another part of the United Kindgom although widely used in England. MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 10:18:00 - [16] Originally by: Freyya Edited by: Freyya on 19/06/2007 08:55:08 What has said before: Direct trade and contracts are still possible...only putting the ship on the market itself is made impossible. Edit; where's the next clue! i need my brain crunching fix! Worst case I will give someone its isk value. MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 18:24:00 - [17] Originally by: Kehmor Edited by: Kehmor on 19/06/2007 17:28:19 Polly T also are we allowed to make private guesses? I have since worked out a first name I am almost sure is right, but have a series of last name initials to work through. No private guesses sorry! I like your thinking though with that guess MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 18:26:00 - [18] Originally by: Jade Kach'tiare Edited by: Jade Kach''tiare on 19/06/2007 16:55:47 Originally by: MaVla Clue : Her first name is traditionally from another part of the United Kindgom although widely used in England. Well this is what i ment with keeping it global..for someone from england this could sound more familiar than someone who wouldnt be english... I guess its hard to keep coming up with clues which wouldnt give someone an advantage but this might provide a little edge over non english... i'm lost anyways since searching for traditional english names still gives a ****load of names to choose from within parameters I'll go with Aerwinn G although i have absolutely no clue what that name has to do with : fish ? Sorry, I understand your point about keeping it global, this is a global game afterall. But it's my ship, my competition and I am English so I'm going to base clues around that as they are far easier for me to work out! MaVla
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 18:31:00 - [19] Originally by: Kehmor Originally by: IzzyChan Polly A Nooooooo! and with that goes the last possible polly combination. My reasoning behind the name was: UK origin but not English: Polly is an Irish name but still common in England Prime number of letters in first name: 5 is a prime number 4 Consonants: duh... assuming y counts. Alternative spelling: Pollie "Fish?": Polly means "Star of the Sea" Working on the clues early on in the game possible last name intials are: G E A T J F W unless I missed one. I sincerely hope that: A: I'm right, though obviously a very high chance I'm not. B: If I was wrong then the name isn't polly so none of you lazy bums win. C: that whoever wins actually put some thought in instead of guessing... Though to be fair my first approach was scanning myspace, facebook, and bebo incase you had an account :P LOL point C. I do have an account but I'm not that stupid as to use my eve character name or even my eve logon name for that matter MaVla PS another little clue, this isn't my main account I purchased it a while ago for a few billion isk so stop guessing at variations of this name! For the record my main is my business and has naff all to do with my gf's name. She's 35 btw.
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.19 20:04:00 - [20] The correct answer has been guessed, thanks to everyone who took part I hope you enjoyed this little game ! I'm rather disapointed that it turned into people jumping on the back of good guesses and changing the surname inital but that's my fault for the way I ran the competition. I will be contacting the winner once the servers are back up and I have checked out the character, if it's a 2 day old alt I will be offering a cash alternative and running another competetion in the future for the ship with different rules. I will obviously tell you the winner once I have had a chat with them. I have been really impressed with a couple of peoples attitudes in this whole thing and will be giving 2 x 500m isk prizes away as consolation. Thanks for taking part MaVla

MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.20 07:37:00 - [21] Dear all, I spoke to the winner this morning who has generously accepted a cash sum rather than the ship. So good news for you there will be another competition in the future for the Guardian-Vexor. The winner was ' Love Godess ' with the correct answer ' Kerry F ' , I'm amazed that no-one else jumped on the Kerry bandwagon sooner as the first Kerry answer was at 18:34 and Kerry F was guessed at 19:12 ! 500m will be transfered to characters :- Jade Kach'tiare & Khan Jogre for their comments and sorry you didn't win guys but thanks for getting so into the competetion. Your isk will be transfered later today. So to clear up a couple of points, ' Kerry ' is an Irish name but commonly used in England. As for the fish reference , 'Kerry' (the place) in Ireland is world famous for it's trout, a bit vague I know but I didn't want to make it too easy! Hope you all enjoyed it, and check back soon when I devise another cunning plan MaVla.
MaVla Minmatar	Posted - 2007.06.20 11:52:00 - [22] Originally by: Jade Kach'tiare With the power that i was granted (namely 500 mil for doing some guessing and searching) i hereby grant half my power to Kehmor (meaning 250 mil) for doing the same thing i did in a well constructed manner.. He as one of the few actually dove into the meaning of names and constructed his answers based on searching rather than bandwagoning on top of sensible answers (at least as far as i could tell) Sure there might be others who did so aswell but i just made a pick Why i do this? well i'm just staying in the same line as MaVla did, although 500 mil is alot of isk and i could use it quite well, it is after all just a game and i'm just as happy with 250, should get me going for a while i suppose. And no i'm not his alt or in any way affiliated with him... I will send you the 500m when I get home from work, you can dish it our as you feel fit. And thank you everyone for the kind words, I will definatley be doing another one when I figure out a way to stop alt posts and name spamming (That may take a while then!) MaVla
