who are you? (meme/game)

[cellio]

I got this from lordandrei, who posted the lineage here.

Post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. I will try to guess. I won't check IP addresses.

I'll add my guesses to your comments, so you'll have to check back now and then. If I guess wrong, give me another clue. I'll continue until I get it or I give up in despair and embarrassment.

Clues that describe half the people on my friends list, such as "I have cats", won't be very helpful. And if you're not on my friends list but just popping in, you might want to say so if you want me to have a fighting chance. :-)

Thank you! And thanks also for the reminder of that list; it had been down for a while, and I forgot that it came back.

We've been inventorying the newsletters, so I've seen your name a lot recently :)

Um, yeah. :-) At the peak (during my term) there were close to 120 local groups, I believe, and probably 70 of them had newsletters. While many of those were quarterly or bimonthly, there were a lot that were monthly. And I had the job for four years. And I never threw stuff like that out, because it didn't belong to me -- it belonged to the kingdom. So yeah, I guess you've seen quite a bit of my name.

(Just for the record, the physical address you have no longer applies.)

One thing I never got much of a chance to do was to dig in the stuff that came long before I had the office, because the ancient newsletters never came to me. (They probably went straight to the historian sometime in the past.) I once got a chance to browse the first few years of Pikestaff in someone else's basement, though, and that was pretty nifty. Newsletters have come a long way since then. :-)

Yep, I've got about 65 groups inventoried so far (and listed on-line) with around 5000 newsletters.

One thing I never got much of a chance to do was to dig in the stuff that came long before I had the office, because the ancient newsletters never came to me.

We've been having fun doing just that, as we go through the newsletters. One of our projects is to get through all the Pikestaff back issues (we're only missing 5 issues from the complete run) and pull out any interesting tidbits of info.

We've still got a *long* way to go, but it's pretty fun. When it starts to get tedious, we start reading the newsletters - and then it's fun again.
