Yes, I have a method. Your mission is to figure out what it is.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

They're all the same people!

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

People cooler than me?

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

If you think you know, suggest someone to add to the list.

Edit: No, porteiro, or T would be on the list. Nobody's cooler than Nathan. [Cool]

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Ah, it's something completely different! People who have three b-- ... er, TMI? [Big Grin]

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Brinestone. [Wink]

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Nope. I'm as white as they come.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Hmmm, so I don't belong on the list?

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Olivet?

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

No, Nathan, you don't. Neither does Olivet. But JohnKeats does.

Posted by OSC-fan (Member # 6195) on :

They are OSC-fan [Wink]

Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :

I wish!

Edit: So how much super sleuthing do I need to do to solve this? I mean, is it some alphabet trick that I could figure out just by looking at the names or do I have to go through past posts and find a common thread that way?

Or is it as simple as being a member of the secret liberal cabal?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Doesn't JennyGardener belong on the list?

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

how about twinky?

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Neither Jenny Gardener nor twinky is on the list.

And no, you don't have to go scrolling through threads to find one they all posted in, if that's what you mean.

[Confused]

Posted by OSC-fan (Member # 6195) on :

They all belong to the same family.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Yes—the Hatrack family. Awwww.
[Group Hug]

Posted by JohnKeats (Member # 1261) on :

If I belong on the list then so does Claudia Therese.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

::points to list::

Posted by JohnKeats (Member # 1261) on :

Hmmm... a good question might be: if JohnKeats belongs on the list, does Caleb Varns ALSO belong on the list?

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Hopefully this isn't Brinestone's "people I want to kill" list. If so, Jon Boy is in in imminent danger. [Eek!]

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

If I've figured this out correctly, peterh belongs on the list.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Yes, peterh, and so would you be. You're on the list.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

And so does Bob the Lawyer

EDIT to add: Oh, he's already on there.

[ March 24, 2004, 12:41 PM: Message edited by: St. Yogi ]

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Elizabeth as well

This is all assuming that I've figured it out

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Ooh Ooh, I think I've figured it out... Off to check...

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Elizabeth is. Caleb Varns is not. I think you've got it.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

How about Derrell?

Or Speed?

Or Original Cyn?

[ March 24, 2004, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: peterh ]

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

I don't think Derrel or Speed is on it. Haven't checked Original Cyn though.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

want2write

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Have all the people on the list been openly attacked by Verbatim fan?

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

beverly

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

St. Yogi wins! (I think)

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

I didn't know I got verbatimized! *astonished

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Well, no. I started with Kat, Tom, and Banna, trying to figure out what they had in common (besides calling Verbatim a liar). I formed my list based on what they did have in common.

Posted by OSC-fan (Member # 6195) on :

They are all married to each other?

Or, all of them are female?

[edit for clarity [Evil]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Someone wanna tell Jon Boy?

Added: And Tom?

[ March 24, 2004, 01:10 PM: Message edited by: katharina ]

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Is that you OSC-fan?

And I thought Tom was married.

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Me too.

And me, too.

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :

EDIT: I'm pretty sure I'm not on the list. In fact, I think that you could kind-of, maybe say I'm the opposite of it. Would you say so Brinestone?

They are not married. This is what they have in common.

*sneaks Jon Boy off to Vegas temple to correct this error*

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

I have to admit I'm completely puzzled. The ones I would think off-hand are nullified by the inclusion of Zamphyr. It can't be join date or posts, so it must be content of posts.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

yes, this is obviously not my kind of mind game.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Zal, yeah, I guess so. Not opposite, exactly, but yeah.

Edit: I outwitted celia! Wahoo!

[ March 24, 2004, 01:18 PM: Message edited by: Brinestone ]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

*shrug* Is it personality? In which case, I'm delighted. [Smile]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

It's not:

join year or month
post count
number of letters in SN
number of vowels in SN

It is:
I have no bloody clue!

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

it's really not that hard to do. i'm all smoke and mirrors!

Posted by OSC-fan (Member # 6195) on :

The only thing they have in common is that they appear on that list.

(added: strange, I read I was on that list too) [Dont Know]

[ March 24, 2004, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: OSC-fan ]

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Okay, I'll give you a hint that will give it away. Look at member numbers.

Posted by amira tharani (Member # 182) on :

Post count is higher than member number?

Edit: no it can't be that or T_Smith and Olivia would be on it.

[ March 24, 2004, 01:26 PM: Message edited by: amira tharani ]

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

My guess was a number 2 in member number, but St. Yogi doesn't have that. Everyone else I checked did.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Brinestone, you made it too easy!

It's really not that hard.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

But that requires I look up everyone's member number... [Razz]

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :

Yeah, opposite isn't quite the right word....

[BAD JOKE WARNNING]

I mean, I'm good looking, but not *that* good looking.

I'm kidding -- from what I've seen of the people on the list, they're all attractive.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Pssst peterh. I'm not on the list.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Posted by amira tharani (Member # 182) on :

2 as second digit of member number?

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

peterh, take it a step further.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Sorry St. Yogi, I thought she said you were. If so, then I don't see why I'm not right.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Quite right amira, now edit your post before anyone sees it.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I also thought that Brinestone said that St. Yogi was on the list -- he's not?

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Oh, I see. This is what happened

peterh said something

I say peterh is on the list

Brinestone replies to peterh saying he's on the list, before seeing my post. In a way it looks like he's saying that, yes I'm right, and that I'm on the list as well.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Woo HOO!

I actually figured it out...

I was thinking what amira said, but was too lazy to check it out. I also went to the Post Office on an errand, so missed the time I would have used in the search.

Posted by Jeni (Member # 1454) on :

This reminds me of Ronin's "The List." Did we ever find out what that was?

Not even your husband? [Cry]

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

She probably thinks that nobody is hotter than you.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Ah, yes. That's it.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Obviously, Jonathon, that means that you're nobody. See?

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

[ROFL]

Some days I can't decide which of you I'd rather...I'd rather not finish that statement.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Ruth: [Frown]

This sounds like it's turning into some sort of Abbott and Costello routine.
