Thanks to bronchitis I think I'll finally have enough time away from work to play again! Woo!

Skarlath · 02-06-2006, 06:11 PM

Hehe. No ones ever been so happy to be ill!

Doresain · 02-06-2006, 06:44 PM

Some tough questions in there, good luck to the Sages!

Tindiyen · 02-06-2006, 08:29 PM

Good looking questions!!! Anyway we can get a larger version of 13? I can barely see it.

Zenya · 02-07-2006, 09:04 AM

Sweet! More fun for us

. Thanks guys!

But question # 13 scares me as much as the

! Hold me ...

(No clue yet what it could be)

Miron · 02-07-2006, 04:05 PM

I'm not sure if I'm happy to see the return of the Enzo or not; It gave me a lot of grief last month. I hope this month's questions are kinder.

Falciform · 02-07-2006, 05:32 PM

Is there anything on the Vanguard forums talking about him test-driving an Enzo? I can only find stuff on other, unrelated forums, none of which have the color. I'm just wondering if the post or thread was deleted.

Please don't discuss the questions or your answers with other sages. You want your win to be truly yours, don't you?

Falciform · 02-07-2006, 09:19 PM

Whatever, man. I'm just saying I've been in and out of those forums as well as many other forums the Enzo was posted about and I can't come up with anything. So I'm asking if the source of the question has been deleted or not. And if the source for the question comes from an IRC chat or something, then that's bogus.

Labyrrinth · 02-07-2006, 09:37 PM

Legit question you have there

and as far as I know, the source has not been deleted. It also was not via IRC or any other type of chat. I'll double check to make sure, and if it has since been removed, I'll take out the question

If the question hasn't been removed within 24 hours.... hehehe good luck !!

The source is still available. I didn't have any trouble looking it up right now.

Labyrrinth · 02-27-2006, 10:06 AM

Interesting. Just out of curiousity, want to link it? The source Sagebot was using was removed, that much I do know. As far as another source being available, cool, but it's too late now to "take the answer back"

Skarlath · 02-27-2006, 01:18 PM

Hehe, that's a fairly obscure source! Wow! Ours was from the old sigil.com forums.

Labyrrinth · 02-27-2006, 01:20 PM

Awesome!

Sagebot is whispering in my ear that he couldn't have used that reference though

since it's not Sigil/VG related at all

And to let you all know where the VG related answer was, for those that may be curious, it was on the old Sigil board forums, which were recently removed

edit: Bleh! Skarlath beat me to it
