Edited by: Heikki on 20/06/2007 08:31:04 Edit: Added a consonant remark
Thanks for the very nice competition; gave me a bit of pondering for idle periods at work :)
Anyway, I feel it ended up being more of random lottery rather than competition of skill. Of course it's up to you how you wish to share your fortunes :)
Personally I was led astray by the consonant clue (Kerry does have three consonants, y is clearly vowel* for that word), and by that a bit obscure fish reference.
-Lasse with his non-native English
*) Bummer. Although functionally, and by linguists, y is vowel in 'Kerry', seems Wikipedia claims "the letter Y is traditionally regarded as a consonant, [in English]". Well, my fault of not researching the subject well enough.

Edited by: irennanna on 20/06/2007 08:44:30 Thanks for the great fun, I will be glad to take part in the next one. Please, when you make us think, think the clues over yourself: I think "Y" is very often a vowel (I'm not a language specialist, if someone is, could you, please, clarify the matter for me?). At least I considered it as one, hence all 5 letter names I left aside.
Anyway, thanks again and see you 
Oh, I see, I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks again and congrats to the winner!

Edited by: Khan Jogre on 20/06/2007 09:39:37 Edited by: Khan Jogre on 20/06/2007 09:36:58 It seems i missed all the action last night, oh well, congrats to Love Godess and well done to MaVla or whatever his real mains name is for running such an awesome competition, Its been a pretty cool distraction from the usuall stuff i see on eve-o. And I will be back for round 2, I really hope its less fish based ^_^ that clue threw me right off.
Ninja edit: Wow, Thanks for the consolidation prize i really wasnt expecting that, you rock even more now 
wow I had to edit this post alot, i should read more before posting in future.

Edited by: Lance Fighter on 20/06/2007 09:56:42 Noooooo... I.... dunno if I lost yet. I had just went to the forums to post my guess too :( I blame it on a late flight :P
Good job whoever did get it, great idea for a competition.

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 thought I got it when I found out the 'Molly' was some kind of exotic fish, I never realised that you were referring to a place! I was also abit diheartened when I found out that someone else had already guessed it a bit before me, but ah well, thats life! Thanks for a great competition, that really made me think hard.

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!)

In the next contest people should have to send you guesses by snail mail with a self-addressed envelope for return 
p.s. please dont do it like that stamps arent quite as cheap as they used to be.

heh well after reading Kehmor's last reply i'm in doubt as to if i would send him the isk...saying his guesses where more informed as to both mine and Khan's is a bit "arrogant"...he does have "arrogance is a virtue" in his sig but his remark is a bit distastefull....

one private guess per day prehaps? or design it so we have a few guesses a day and anyone following the clues will have sufficient guesses that they won't be stuck in a position whereby they give massive clues to other people.
To be honest what I found shocking was people stole my first name but posted last name initials that weren't even possible given the clues. Maybe insist people post their reasoning?

Yeah for example i guessed Gillian first, I think and then there were loads of Gillians after and other spellings of it, Seriously though gills on a fish was the only thing i could think of, I dont know world famous tuna towns However my hunch of the last name starting in an F turned out right...just not for me ^_^

Edited by: IDesert FoxI on 20/06/2007 21:16:04 I *****d google for a bit trying to come up with fish related girls names. I tried thiniking of a girls name that applied to the other rules, and then typed fish after it, hoping to get lucky.

Congrats to the winner. BTW, I can guess why they chose a cash prize. you were valuing the Guardian Vexor based on what the guy that sold it to you said it was worth. I'm willing to bet there was a little salesman's embellishment on the value.
I'm really glad that I'll have another chance to win back the GV, thanks for running this competition and I look forward to the next!

Just for the record, how much isk did you give the winner instead of the Guardian-Vexor? I used to own two G-V's back in the day, bought my first for 400mil, my second one for 800mil and sold both for 1.3bil a piece. I'd like to know how much prices have risen since then .
