CBR Trivia Game

[west3man]

Does CBR have enough trivia for a game? Let's see.

Ask a CBR trivia question and whomever answers correctly asks another.


Q: "What was DarlingNikki's original CBR screenname?"



I'm gonna settle for a "close enough," probably because I'm not sure if one of the letters was an "s" or a "z." It's not like we've got this stuff on flash cards, so if someone frigs up a question (or an answer), we can just fix it on-the-fly.



*disqualifies Nikki, in advance, from this question*

[Ed Cunard]

GoNolez, right?

[west3man]

GoNolez, right?
Right.

That was Nikki's kinda ironic screenname when she first graced her with her intelligence, charm, and beauty.

Your turn.

[BlairH]

Right.

That was Nikki's kinda ironic screenname when she first graced her with her intelligence, charm, and beauty.

Your turn.

(Pats Ed on the back)
And that's why we all decided to bask in your reflected glory by using your avatar Ed!

[Ed Cunard]

Shit. I should have thought of one before making my guess. Dammit.

Oh, I know--I'll steal your idea, because I suck.

Q: What was west3man's old screen name?

I disqualify West from answering.

[howyadoin]

Q: What was west3man's old screen name?

I disqualify West from answering.KneelB4Zod.

Who were my Filthy Assistants on the old Vertigo board?

[Dreadstar]

Too slow...

[west3man]

KneelB4Zod.

Who were my Filthy Assistants on the old Vertigo board?
I'm guessing you senior veterans will have the most "ammo."



EDIT: Actually, that's obvious as hell. I guess I just meant the *best* ammo... or something.

But, yeah, I dunno the answer.

[howyadoin]

I'm guessing you senior veterans will have the most "ammo."Fair enough. How 'bout I throw in a couple hints:

1. There were 2 of them.

2. They were Papermonkies.

[Quarterwolf]

Fair enough. How 'bout I throw in a couple hints:

1. There were 2 of them.

2. They were Papermonkies.

Papergirl and Pol Rau?

[west3man]

Papergirl and Pol Rau?
I thought of one, but never would've gotten the other.

[Expletive Deleted]

Who were my Filthy Assistants on the old Vertigo board?The lovely and talented Papergirl, and the markedly less lovely and talented Pulse.

I can say bad things about him because he doesn't hang around here anymore. So nyah.

[Quarterwolf]

I thought of one, but never would've gotten the other.

I am still not sure if I am right.

[howyadoin]

I am still not sure if I am right.Expletive Deleted was right. You were only half right.

Which means that he gets to ask the next question. You could probably say something like "what the - ?", however.

[west3man]

Expletive Deleted was right. You were only half right.

Which means that he gets to ask the next question. You could probably say something like "what the - ?", however.

[Expletive Deleted]

Let's see here . . .

Tom once spent a some time in the persona of a humorless killer robot moderator whose harsh but fair guidelines of fashion and personal grooming, as well as his habit of USING ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS, quite endeared him to us, his loyal followers.

Name that alias!

Name that alias!

Eradicator?

[Expletive Deleted]

Indeed!

You're up, Crocodile Rock.

[west3man]

Well-done.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Sorry for forgetting about this.

Next question: Name two members of the Secret Society of Second Stringers, other than me.

(edited to make it slightly easier)

[Joe Rice]

Sorry for forgetting about this.

Next question: Name two members of the Secret Society of Second Stringers, other than me.

(edited to make it slightly easier)

Nope and Typo Lad.

[Pól Rua]

Papergirl and Pol Rau?

I was never actually a papermonkey, oddly enough.
After I lost computer access, a whole mess o' monkies started showing up here... guess nature abhors a monkey vacuum or something.
Hrm.

Monkey vacuum... scaaaaaaaaaaary.

But yeah. When the papermonkies were formed, I was incommunicado, a feat I actually won a corrie for apparently...
hrm.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Nope and Typo Lad.

I don't think Nope was ever a member, but Typo Lad is correct. One more?

(Maybe I shouldn't have asked a question that required multiple answers. My bad.)

[StoneGold]

I don't think Nope was ever a member, but Typo Lad is correct. One more?

(Maybe I shouldn't have asked a question that required multiple answers. My bad.)
Yul Brynner and Lee Marvin?

[Joe Rice]

I don't think Nope was ever a member, but Typo Lad is correct. One more?

(Maybe I shouldn't have asked a question that required multiple answers. My bad.)

Johnny DC? Wes Dodds?

[Jack Tango]

I don't think Nope was ever a member, but Typo Lad is correct. One more?

(Maybe I shouldn't have asked a question that required multiple answers. My bad.)

Nope was a member, actually. Joe's still right, with his next two guesses.

[west3man]

Fair enough. How 'bout I throw in a couple hints:

1. There were 2 of them.

2. They were Papermonkies.
FYI, I wasn't suggesting that these were too hard. If there are some from five years, ago, so be it. That's more of a tribute to the community than anything.

Anyway, I wanted to make that clear (but hints am good).

[Joe Rice]

So can I ask a question now I guess?

[west3man]

So can I ask a question now I guess?
Go for it, Joe.

[Joe Rice]

OK, here's a toughie, even for old folk:

Name SIX other names I have posted by here at CBR over the years.

[west3man]

OK, here's a toughie, even for old folk:

Name SIX other names I have posted by here at CBR over the years.
Good heavens. This will take some TEAMwork!


DaDaAmerican (sp?) is one.

[howyadoin]

DaDaAmerican (sp?) is one.And Username.

[Guapo Méndez]

The Jester.

[Typo Lad]

OK, here's a toughie, even for old folk:

Name SIX other names I have posted by here at CBR over the years.

Paging Doug Strange...

...because he's the only person other than you who's gonna remember.

[Dreadstar]

Jester, DaDamerican, Rocket Fish, G.I. Joe, Faceless Kung Fu Priest, and er....

Ok I'll use Howy's USERNAME.

[Joe Rice]

Jester, DaDamerican, Rocket Fish, G.I. Joe, Faceless Kung Fu Priest, and er....

Ok I'll use Howy's USERNAME.

I don't think I ever used GI Joe here. Am I wrong?

[Guapo Méndez]

The Mad Hugger?


....nononon...I got it!


HAWAIIAN PUNCH!

[west3man]

I don't think I ever used GI Joe here. Am I wrong?
I don't know, but knowing is half the battle.





Sorry.

[Dreadstar]

I don't think I ever used GI Joe here. Am I wrong?

No you're probably right, that was probably an SOI exclusive.

[Doug Strange]

GI Joe? Really? Don't remember that one.

I don't know, but there were probably about 17 others used to rig various polls, elections, etc.

[Doug Strange]

Oooh, Guapo gets it.

[Joe Rice]

Oooh, Guapo gets it.

Yup.

Joe Rice
Jester
DaDamerican
Username
Rocket Fish
Hawaiian Puncher
Jim
Audrey Tautou
Veronica Lodge

Were all possible answers. Then there were all the poll-rigging ones which I can't remember.

[Typo Lad]

I knew Veronica was you or Doug.

[Joe Rice]

I knew Veronica was you or Doug.

Actually, it was me AND Alex.

[Tom]

Let's see here . . .

Tom once spent a some time in the persona of a humorless killer robot moderator whose harsh but fair guidelines of fashion and personal grooming, as well as his habit of USING ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS, quite endeared him to us, his loyal followers.

Name that alias!
I miss the Eradicator. He was fun.

[Guapo Méndez]

Were all possible answers. Then there were all the poll-rigging ones which I can't remember.

You poll-rigger!


I say Dread gets to ask the question, since he listed twice as many names as the rest of us. (he relisted 3 individuals and posted 2 of his own).

[Sir Tim Drake]

Veronica Lodge

!!!

Finally, an ancient mystery is solved!

[Joe Rice]

!!!

Finally, an ancient mystery is solved!

I thought everyone knew this by now. It was the worst-kept secret at CBR since Doug and I went gay. The experiment worked too well, we got too mad at the results, and we crashed and burned it. Heh.

[west3man]

I thought everyone knew this by now. It was the worst-kept secret at CBR since Doug and I went gay. The experiment worked too well, we got too mad at the results, and we crashed and burned it. Heh.
Oddly, it makes the story more-gooder for the tellin'.

[Joe Rice]

Oddly, it makes the story more-gooder for the tellin'.

Heh. Much like the traditional ending phrase for all my high school friends' stories: "--and then we ran away."

[west3man]

Heh. Much like the traditional ending phrase for all my high school friends' stories: "--and then we ran away."
That made me ell-oh-ell.

[Doug Strange]

It was the worst-kept secret at CBR since Doug and I went gay.WE DID WHAT???

;) ;) ;)

[Ed Cunard]

Not to derail the game any more, but I miss the Hawaiian Puncher schtick.

[west3man]

*nudges Dreadstar*

Your ball.

[Dreadstar]

OK, let's go for a softball.

Name the 4 married couples who virtually "met" at CBR.

[JeffreyWKramer]

OK, let's go for a softball.

Name the 4 married couples who virtually "met" at CBR.
Doug Strange and Rita
Trix and DB
Rally and BB
Brandon and Nicole

[Ed Cunard]

Doug Strange and Rita
Trix and DB
Rally and BB
Brandon and Nicole

I thought Brandon and Nicole met at a dating site?

[Dreadstar]

Doug Strange and Rita
Trix and DB
Rally and BB
Brandon and Nicole

Can you believe I forgot that Brandon and Nicole had gotten married? Did I even know that?

[JeffreyWKramer]

I thought Brandon and Nicole met at a dating site?

You may be right. That sounds right, in fact.

[Joe Rice]

Can you believe I forgot that Brandon and Nicole had gotten married? Did I even know that?


Ed's right. They didn't meet here.

I'm going to abstain from this one because I just went.

[west3man]

I thought Brandon and Nicole met at a dating site?Can you believe I forgot that Brandon and Nicole had gotten married? Did I even know that?
I'm not *even* sure, but I think Ed's right that it was an off-board meeting.

I think someone mentioned it recently.

[Typo Lad]

So you were thinking Joe Grendel and Amazon then, the first CBR hitch?

[Dreadstar]

So you were thinking Joe Grendel and Amazon then, the first CBR hitch?

Yep.

So you or Jeffrey, makes no difference.

[JeffreyWKramer]

So you were thinking Joe Grendel and Amazon then, the first CBR hitch?

Ah. Before my time, methinks. I don't think she has posted on CBR the entire time I've been a member.

[Typo Lad]

Ah. Before my time, methinks. I don't think she has posted on CBR the entire time I've been a member.

You missed out. Brilliant woman.

I bow to Jeffrey, sicne he had all but 1.

[west3man]

Ah. Before my time, methinks. I don't think she has posted on CBR the entire time I've been a member.
*tosses you Dreadstar's ball*... err... it's your turn

[JeffreyWKramer]

I suck at this sort of thing, but okay.

An easy one, so please, try to do it without relying on member search functions...

Which of the following comics pros is not - as far as has been publically announced, anyway - a current CBR member?

1) Kurt Busiek
2) Rob Liefeld
3) Howard Porter
4) Mark Waid

[Guapo Méndez]

Rob Liefeld.

I've seen the other 3 around.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Rob Liefeld.

I've seen the other 3 around.

Guapo is correct. Unless Rob is publically here and has somehow escaped my notice.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Howard Porter?

Goes by the name hporter or something like that. Not a frequent poster, but he's here.

[west3man]

Goes by the name hporter or something like that. Not a frequent poster, but he's here.
Good to know.

I was convinced that Rob had been around, but I dunno.



On you, Guapo.

[Guapo Méndez]

All right, here's mine:

CBR members have started their own comic book imprints.

Name at least two.

[Joe Rice]

All right, here's mine:

CBR members have started their own comic book imprints.

Name at least two.

Typo and . . .Brandon?

[Typo Lad]

All right, here's mine:

CBR members have started their own comic book imprints.

Name at least two.

Brandon Hanvey and The Temporary Guy.

[Guapo Méndez]

Correct.

Now rock, paper, scissors for who gets the next question. You guys are tied at two exactly at the same time.

[Guapo Méndez]

Or the tiebreaker: Name the imprints.

[Typo Lad]

Or the tiebreaker: Name the imprints.

Seven Guys of Justice and The Geekout?

[Guapo Méndez]

Dingdingding.

**tosses ball***

[Typo Lad]

Name three pairs of sibling posters.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

We interrupt this contest for the following irrelevant observation: for us relative n00bs, I find this all rather fascinating. If you could chime in as you post, I'd be interested in just how long have you old hands been on CBR.

We now return you to "That Girl," already in progress.

[Guapo Méndez]

Last five minutes of the Black and Green Boards, the year Kingdom Come rolled out. I believe it was august when the switch to CBR was made from the old boards.

But I was away for a year, year and a half from CBR, so I missed a lot of stuff.

[Ed Cunard]

I don't remember when I first came here. It was before it crashed and became this incarnation, that much I know, but I didn't post as frequently then as I do now. Not that I post frequently now. You know what I mean.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Name three pairs of sibling posters.

Typo Lad and DEEP THOUGHT
Falcoria and Deputy Socky
DarkBlade and ChibiStarJumper

Another one I thought of was Brimstone and Thorn, but I'm not so sure about that. I think there were a couple posters named Thorn and one of them was Brimstone's sister.

[Typo Lad]

Good one Tim!

I'd actually forgotten about Falcoria's sibling and was thinking Brimstone and Thorn (who I remember because they were Jewish).

I also would have accpeted the late Goblin Queen and her brother.

Your turn!

(Oh, as for when I started posting... right around when Jim MacQ and Buried Alien did. SHould be 97).

[SteelTownr]

Actually, it was me AND Alex.

You've got nice legs.

Mark B.

[Michael P]

Veronica Lodge

That lifts a weight off my shoulders. I was completely baffled as to how any woman could be as psychotic as you about Plastic Man.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Next question: Name two CBR posters who have been moderators at Alvaro's.

[Doug Strange]

Next question: Name two CBR posters who have been moderators at Alvaro's.Lameoid and Traitorpants.

[Slam_Bradley]

Next question: Name two CBR posters who have been moderators at Alvaro's.


I know that you were, ya little weasel.

Was 'Dox? I think he was.

[Ed Cunard]

I don't even know what an Alvaro's is.

[west3man]

I don't even know what an Alvaro's is.
A tropical American tree (Persea americana) having oval or pear-shaped fruit with leathery skin, yellowish-green flesh, and a large seed.








:p

[Ed Cunard]

A tropical American tree (Persea americana) having oval or pear-shaped fruit with leathery skin, yellowish-green flesh, and a large seed.


Ok, perhaps the world is in a state of moral decline if trees need moderators to keep things under control.

[west3man]

Ok, perhaps the world is in a state of moral decline if trees need moderators to keep things under control.
I'm not taking any chances.

It was an "avocado" joke.

[Doug Strange]

Does Alvaro's even exist anymore? I like to imagine that it doesn't, and that fly's threats to leave here and go post there are not only completely empty, but also impossible.

[venuscameback]

Typo Lad and DEEP THOUGHT
Falcoria and Deputy Socky
DarkBlade and ChibiStarJumper

Another one I thought of was Brimstone and Thorn, but I'm not so sure about that. I think there were a couple posters named Thorn and one of them was Brimstone's sister.

To which I add:


The Sentry & The Fury are brothers

That's what I thought too. Didn't JR post pictures of Veronica Lodge at one of his parties?

[Smoogis]

We now return you to "That Girl," already in progress.

...Oh crap.

Uhhh...

*thinks* Well, does it help to say that this is my third witnessing of corries?

So 2-3 years.

and I won fresh meat my first year yay! *cough*

*has no idea what alvaro's is*

[Sir Tim Drake]

I know that you were, ya little weasel.

Was 'Dox? I think he was.

I believe you're right. You have the floor.

[Slam_Bradley]

I believe you're right. You have the floor.


My memory for CBR trivia is trivial. And I've been around a long time. Since Some time in 1998 anyway. But I've only been really active the last few years.

Ok....

What long-time posters moderated on The Island of Misfit Boards. I'll accept any two. I can't remember if there were more than two.

[howyadoin]

Yes he did.

I wonder who the lovely young actress that portrayed Miss Lodge was.

That's a long password.

Mark B.

You say that to all the guys!

[Doug Strange]

I've been here since the end of July, 1996.

With frequent (and a couple of long) breaks.

[f. chong rutherford]

Me too. It was June 1996, back when it was green, black, white and nothing moved.

OOOH! here's one--what was Doug Strange's ORIGINAL posting name when he first started posting here?

[howyadoin]

F-Dot, you don't get to ask a question till you answer the last one correctly.

[f. chong rutherford]

F-Dot, you don't get to ask a question till you answer the last one correctly.

Oh, well, okay--I have no idea what the answer to the one question about Misfit Boards was, but I did know the answer to when I first started posting here! but that doesn't count, does it?

Someone else can use that question about 1996 parallel universe Doug Strange if they like.

[zombie]

I thought Paradox was a mod there, but I'm probably wrong.

[howyadoin]

I thought Paradox was a mod there, but I'm probably wrong.He was. And if you look at what I said in response to Slam's question, you'll see another hint.

[Doug Strange]

Paradox and Howy!

[zombie]

He was. And if you look at what I said in response to Slam's question, you'll see another hint.

Ooooh, I wondered why you didn't guess.

[howyadoin]

Paradox and Howy!Bingo.

Now ask us a question.

[Slam_Bradley]

Paradox and Howy!


Well done, Weedhopper.

[west3man]

I'm hoping I get one right, now, since I finally have a question that I wanna ask.

*expects to forget it any moment, though*


S'on you, Doug Strange.

[Doug Strange]

Ok, sorry for the delay, fellas. The wife had some shopping she needed help with.

Ok, ok, ok, let's see here...

Fly went away a year or two (or three?) ago, but then came back under a different handle, not expecting us all to know IMMEDIATELY that it was him.

What was that handle?

Good. I get to say my other answer:

THE DOSADI EXPERIMENT!!!

[Doug Strange]

Good. I get to say my other answer:

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

HA! Cute. But no.

Guy in the stall?

Arsenio Hall?

[howyadoin]

Guy in the stall?
Buy at the mall?
My, but you're tall?
Arsenio Hall?None of those are right, but they're goddamn funny nonetheless.

[Sir Tim Drake]

BUMP

It wasn't Shadow of your smile, was it?

[Expletive Deleted]

It was something dog related, wasn't it? Topdog, or something like that?

I feel like it's right on the tip of my brain.

[Sir Tim Drake]

I know he's also used the name Horse of a different (or another) color, but I don't think that was it either.

[Doug Strange]

Man, I can't believe I stumped so many people.

[howyadoin]

Man, I can't believe I stumped so many people.How 'bout a hint, fucker?

[Dreadstar]

How 'bout a hint, fucker?

Or even a Nelson-like "Ha-ha!" and a different question?

[howyadoin]

Or even a Nelson-like "Ha-ha!" and a different question?A Muntzian taunt*, you mean?









*™ Tom.

[Dreadstar]

A Muntzian taunt*, you mean?

That's the one!

[Doug Strange]

How 'bout a hint, fucker?Whoop, I thought my last post gave you one.

[Dreadstar]

Man, I can't believe I stumped so many people.

That? There's a hint in that?

[Smoogis]

That? There's a hint in that?

Well, apparently the screen name was masculine?

[Ed Cunard]

Something "log," right?

[Doug Strange]

That? There's a hint in that?Yes, a very strong hint.

A part of the answer.

[Dreadstar]

Well, apparently the screen name was masculine?

"Stumpy!"

It's gotta be...

[Doug Strange]

Something "log," right?Warmer, warmer.

[Doug Strange]

I can't believe I'm the only one that remembers.

[Doug Strange]

"Stumpy!"

It's gotta be...Stump_____ _______.

[Dreadstar]

Stump_____ _______.


________ -Trained Cow!

What do I win?

[Doug Strange]

________ -Trained Cow!

What do I win?Nothing, until you guess.

Man, the name was very memorable to me for some reason.

Should I give the answer and ask a different (EASIER) one?

[Dreadstar]

Stump-legged Sally!

Stump in the Stall!

Stumpy and Ren!

Stump Stump Stump!

[Doug Strange]

Stump-legged Sally!

Stump in the Stall!

Stumpy and Ren!

Stump Stump Stump!Ok, you're not going to guess.

TA-DAAAAAAAAA.......STUMPWATER POLECAT. Sorry, guys. I thought more people would remember for some reason.

Next...hmmm...

Ok, really easy one, because I don't feel like going through that again...

Who was the Comm Board moderator before T'Omm?

[Ed Cunard]

Conn Seanery?


(I remember that polecat name now. Fuck.)

[Doug Strange]

Ok, phew. Go, Ed.

[Dreadstar]

Ok, you're not going to guess.

TA-DAAAAAAAAA.......STUMPWATER POLECAT. Sorry, guys. I thought more people would remember for some reason.

That's about the equivalent of me asking what handle you were using when you came back to NEB after the brief hiatus to SOI. Even with the hint that it'd be a royal pain to answer.

Who was the Comm Board moderator before T'Omm?

Greg Hatcher?

[Ed Cunard]

I'm bad at the question part. Crap.

Oh, ok. Who was pictured in Alex's regular avatar before the last crash?

Alex, obviously, can't answer.

Or ride a bike.

[Doug Strange]

That's about the equivalent of me asking what handle you were using when you came back to NEB after the brief hiatus to SOI. Even with the hint that it'd be a royal pain to answer.Yeah, I don't even know that one. I guess not everyone stalks pays attention to Fly as much as I do.

[Doug Strange]

Yeah, I don't even know that one. I guess not everyone stalks pays attention to Fly as much as I do.And, that's brilliant. Thought that tag would work. Whatever, I hate you all! I'm never playing trivia with you again!

[Dreadstar]

And, that's brilliant. Thought that tag would work. Whatever, I hate you all! I'm never playing trivia with you again!
Not even if I'm buying?

[Doug Strange]

Not even if I'm buying?Clearly, I meant "CBR," non-alcoholic trivia. NTN is another story.

And can we be on the same team?

[Dreadstar]

Clearly, I meant "CBR," non-alcoholic trivia. NTN is another story.

No!

...well... OK.

[west3man]

Alex, obviously, can't answer.

Or ride a bike.
John Kerry?

[Expletive Deleted]

I'm bad at the question part. Crap.

Oh, ok. Who was pictured in Alex's regular avatar before the last crashI may be off by a crash or two, but wasn't it a drawing of a guy with a watch for a face? "watchman," in other words?

[Ed Cunard]

It had to only be one crash ago--this is my second board here.

Hint: it's someone who another author said didn't write, but typed.

[west3man]

biz-ump, beeyatch

[Jack Tango]

Yeah, I don't even know that one. I guess not everyone stalks pays attention to Fly as much as I do.

Stalker! Stalker! Stalker! Stalker! Stalker!

*cough*

Yeah.

[Ed Cunard]

I don't think I can do another hint without giving it away, and as no one's gotten it, I'm starting to think that maybe I'm wrong in the first place.

Crap.

[Paradox]

Hmmm...I suppose I count as a mod at the Island, since I was modding boards AND running the whole shmear, but when the flip was Nope an official SSoSSer??? He was in the stories (we HQed in his basement, IIRC) and sometimes wrote, but I don't recall him ever actually being part of the team.

[howyadoin]

Hmmm...I suppose I count as a mod at the Island, since I was modding boards AND running the whole shmear, but when the flip was Nope an official SSoSSer??? He was in the stories (we HQed in his basement, IIRC) and sometimes wrote, but I don't recall him ever actually being part of the team.

BTW, Nope was also a mod at the Island, for the Writer's Block board for fan-fiction.If that's a response to my saying "Nope" earlier, I meant "nope" as in "incorrect", not "Nope" as in the poster of that name.

If that's not what you're talking about, please ignore this post.

You know, I thought he was a member. Maybe I'm wrong. I guess I figured that because he wrote stuff, and put himself in the odd tale, that made him a member.

Whatever happened to that official roster listing? :-)

By the way, your name icon thingie is wonderful; brings back great memories.

CBR has gone through many incarnations in the past -- what were they, and how did they look, starting from its original inception.

Bonus points to whomever remembers what the original CBR Boards linked from.

CBR has gone through many incarnations in the past -- what were they, and how did they look, starting from its original inception.

Let's see, the KC board, CBR at envision (both before my time so I don't know what they looked like) Silver-Age CBR at comicbookresources...was that the purple and orange word balloons or did it originally have another design? There was an upgraded version of that, and then vBulletin.

Bonus points to whomever remembers what the original CBR Boards linked from.

I believe it was an off-shoot of Jonah's Kingdom Come site.

I can't remember Fly's orginal name nor Alex's but Fenris' was Richard and Grant was the Film Freak / Krypto / though I think Film Freak may have tecnically been first.

Alex was watchman.

fly on the wal was H A L or T1000 or something like that. I think he went by several names at once.

tkm was one, I believe.

Ok, sorry didn't kow about the answer a question, gotta ask a question.

When I "briefly" took over the world in 1998??? 1999??? who did I name as my three Chancellors to assist in ruling the world?

[Paradox]

There were three? God, my memory IS going on me.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Was Mac Danny one of the chancellors?

[Evil Sneak]

Hmm... this may be too long ago for some of the recent additions to CBR, but yes 'Dox there were three, and no Timothy, Mac Danny wasn't one of them.

Here's a hint; All three as featured in this picture:

They live on two separate continents in two different hemispheres.

Ozbat and Paul Newell.

"They live on two separate continents in two different hemispheres" from each OTHER.

"One was a moderator for a very long time, the other never was one." Well, no, your guesses just don't fit that one...they've both been moderators, and Paul still is one!

Doug Strange nails it:

Protoman and doughnut. Never would have remembered those two.

Sadder that I didn't remember Protoman. Keith Rogers was one of my best posting pals for a while. I still miss his goofy tag lines ("has a stick!" "pretends to be a monkey", etc.)

But Barbara Twilight counts as "real," but Wheat Lad doesn't? I had that the other way around.

Me, too, since Wheat Lad is just Conn Seanery's NEB "face".

The poster Babs never had anything to do with the NEB, did she?

I don't know about the NEB, but she never wrote for the SSoSS. Barbara Twilight was "loosely based on" Babs, IIRC. I can't remember who's character she was, though. Typo? Goldenager, maybe?

Anyway, my next guess is...hmmm...JDC, 'Dox, and doughnut.

Certainly logical, given Johnny's tendency to horn in on anything that was going on. ;)
