Yes, Catman, you have questions?

As for question #27, I would reword the question to more accurately ask "who she wanted to get revenge on?".

As for question #73, change the word link to be lake.

It would seem that Socko decided to play some havoc on the set-up of the questions. Anyway, I've update the list above to reflect these clarifications.

Wow... that was tough. Way tougher than I expected. Kudos to the contest designers. Had to guess on several, unfortunately. Well, best of luck to everyone. Can't wait to see the answers to some of these more obscure ones. (Freaking Eduardo Leoni... grumble grumble.... I know you're somewhere out there.)

Your answers have been received. Plus, as gonzoron may have already noticed, I am sending out confirmations to contributors. I'll try to send a note to everyone who sends something in within a couple days, although it will vary depending on when I'm able to check e-mail. If you don't receive an e-mailed reply from me within 48 hours, then please let me know.

Besides realizing that I'm going to have to go to my not-very-local gaming store to find the answer to one of these [EXPLETIVES-- LOTS OF THEM-- DELETED]...

... I just noticed there's no question 43. Is this a problem? :twisted:

ETA: Also, should we be quoting the questions in our submissions? I had done so because I simply copy/pasted the thing to a file for poring over offline, but if you don't want the questions I'll delete them...

Hmmm... Odd since it was in every other version of the list. Question #43 should read In which domain is the Hag Coraline now living?. I have added this to the main list.
Brandi wrote:Also, should we be quoting the questions in our submissions?
As long as questions are numbered, I have no preference. I'm not opposed to you including the questions if it makes it easier for you to answer. However, I certainly am not requiring that you do so.

In this case, I would allow an exception to the rule of only one submission. I wouldn't want you to miss the opportunity to win due to the lack of one answer (didn't have the question listed in the first posting). So yes, you may add the answer to question #43 separately...

True, but nobody said doing work for the Fraternity would be easy... :wink:

I cowardly retire from this contest!

Not that it was too hard for me, but I just can't afford the time for more intense researches and I don't want to *cheat* by getting all the info via the web!

:soth: Even friendly neighbourhood's dark knight has a sense of honour... Sometimes. :twisted:

Too bad you dropped out. I've only got about 2/3's of them now, half of those I found last night while watching "Desperate Housewives". :lol:
I only wish I had retired sooner!

That's not cheating. Some of the answers can ONLY be found the web. :)

Looks like the Ravenloft Catalog on the Kargatane site has crashed now though, I wonder how many people were trying to use it? :wink:
