Jim has an EVE book?

Do want.

Heh, this only taught me how little Kieron contributes to the site and how hard-working Alec is.

1/10. And I only got that one because it had a photo of THE GILLEN in it.

I tried this when it first appeared on the forums, got 7/10. I didn’t spend that much time examining the posts though. Fun idea :)

Something Horace related would be great. Was trying to think if an artist’s impression of the front of Horace could be drawn like on a Mobius strip, but that might be considered blasphemy.

Of course, Chuck Norris style facts about Horace could work.

Otherwise, perhaps the Hivemind as TF2 characters?

As for score, after reading the works of RPS for many many many years in print, I’m happy that I didn’t fail the metagame.

Good Lord – 3/10. I throw myself on the mercy of the Hivemind. I kept going for John, thinking “He’s got to have done one of these, I’ll be right eventually.” Wrong! What have you been doing John?? And who knew Alec was so prolific?

You know what I learned from this all? John writes in bursts then slips off the radar for a page or two.

So *that’s* where “HORACE THE ENDLESS BEAR,” came from.

1/10, and that was only because I recognized Gillen in a picture…

Apparently I can’t tell Alec and Jim apart. And it does rather feel like it’s cheating when it’s someone else writing. Like, how dare they?

I got 7/10. It’s funny, I actually played a game like this with myself already, where I would deliberately ignore the poster and see if I could guess. But I thought it was too weird to tell anyone about.

As Jim says, having to write TITLE manually in every tag would lead to us just giving it up.

(EDIT: And I use a firefox plugin too)

Wisq: Yes, although I use a FF plugin to display alt texts.

The reason why alts show up on RPS is because our software drops them into instant image code templates.
