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. :-)

Hi -- don't know if the clues do lead to me,

I assume from this that you are not the person who posted anonymously earlier in this thread, then. So I have to make a new guess. :-)

Been doing ok, but mostly busy working and trying to rebuild a house and barn. You?

Working, got married, bought a house that doesn't need to be rebuilt because we're lame. :-) Three cats, no kids. I'm less active in the SCA than I was (though still around), and have become active in my congregation.

Will you be at Pennsic this year?

Geographically speaking, you can not have guessed closer than editrx or ian_gunn.

There's also a big clue that has to do with editrx that I could say, but I'll save that for the next one.

Aha. Got you now!

[cellio]

You're right; this was hard. I don't know when I last saw you, but Pennsic would be the only real possibility. And my Stonemarche geography is weak, so I really wouldn't know who lives near whom within the barony. (But thank you for eliminating Vermont and Maine, and preventing me from having to contemplate which parts of upstate New York might plausibly be claimed as "north" of Carolingia.)

While I know a few people in Stonemarche, I don't think most of them have journals (Baroness Megan, Gareth, Amethysta, a few others). I was reminded of editrx kind of by accident, really, and don't know who she's close to.

But editrx and ian_gunn have a few friends in common, and some list locations in NH, and one of those is familiar to me. And when I looked at his journal, what should I see in the most recent entry but a reference to editrx, who is apparently his wife!

Nicely done, baron_elric. How've you been?

Only by an intersection of possibilities did you not get the right person. Though I have to admit at being complimented by being guessed at as being editrx or baron_elric.

The clue I was going to give earlier is that editrx married my spouse and myself.

By some coincidence, I *am* new to Live Journal. I'll let you know, in order to avoid nickel & diming the guesses that I'm Amethysta. Though I think I'm going to have to get Gareth introduced to Live Journal too.

This was so much fun! Ian & I really enjoyed it! Thanks.

Oops, I shouldn't have done that as anonymous.

Re: Aha. Got you now!

[cellio]

*Giggle* Gee, and I felt sure that "a clue related to Editrx" was the baron_elric hint, once I saw his journal. Oops! I failed to consider other arrangements. (And I did look for you here; I just didn't recognize you from either your profile or your user name!) Thanks for all the fun!

I feel like it's been ages since we've seen each other. Will you be at Pennsic this year?

Re: Aha. Got you now!

That's what I get for going incognito! And for not filling out very much of my user profile. It's that darn time thing again.

Unfortunately, we won't be going to Pennsic this year. It's terribly stressful with the kids, so maybe when they're older... You'll have to give Johan a big hug in my place at Pennsic. You folks have lots of fun for us, OK?

But, on the plus side, now that we've found Live Journal & found lots of SCAdians there, I can actually communicate with interesting people again whose life goes beyond SpongeBob Squarepants.

Will do. Sorry we'll miss you! I hope that when the kids get a little older this becomes more practical for you.

Yeah, LJ is pretty nifty that way. I got an account initially so I could keep up with a game journal; I didn't know how much I would actually use my own journal. But it turns out to be a useful tool for me, and the friends list is an easy way to keep up with lots of people -- many of whom I've never actually met in person.

My wife should point out that she is eclectic_1.

Humm, I have to figure out how to put in the user icon link thing. Cutting and pasting isn't working.

Re: Aha. Got you now!

[cellio]

Heh. That was fun! (I did try to find your wife on LJ, but didn't succeed.)

To do the user-reference thing, write HTML such as the following: <lj user="ian_gunn">
