Old World Giveaway

[Samber]

Because it goes along with Kit Ping's original proportions, in which there were more "high ranking" dragons than "low ranking?" (its been awhile since i read dragonsdawn but as i recall there were like five golds and no greens, and greens became slowly more common later on...)

Nope.

[Samber]

What was that about? Some kind of abstract clue?

Yep!

[Asha Wermyst]

Oookaay........*goes to look at it.*

And the order of each line mattereth not.

Here's what I get:

Bronze
Red Parents
Mailbox
Adult Attitude
Underneath

Sooo......

Some adult firelizards left all the baby firelizards, but mostly bronze,underneath your mailbox? And you couldn't do anything about it?


You need a better clue.

[Shard]

ROFL!!!!

I think that should win just because it's hilarious... I looked up the letters in the anagram arranger site, and came up with nothing that made any more sense than that either...

[Mystic Dragon]

Well my first thought was of Melody's brood from the DragonSinger book, but she only had two bronzes. That clue has me stumped.

[Asha Wermyst]

That's what I though of, too, as that one is one of the only two I was allowed to read....N/A


Thanks Shard! (someone's on my side...)

[Astra]

oh WOW, why didn't I think of Menolly's firelizards? I always liked Menolly, she was awesome. And later in the series she does get a third bronze ... but I don't think she had that many browns. Hmm *ponder*

[Mystic Dragon]

Menolly, that's it. Why did I think it was Melody?

[Keilin Alyr]

Lazybones, Brownie, and Mimic as I recall for the browns. Why didn't I think of Menolly's 10 earlier? It makes sense once you study them. ^^

[Astra]

cause she sang a lot of melodies!

But check it out

Beauty

Rocky Diver Poll (at least i think the third was poll ... it started with a p at least I know)

Lazybones Mimic Brownie

Uncle

Auntie One Auntie two

Brilliant, mystic

[Asha Wermyst]

EDIT: Oh! And an extra fire-lizard for the person who can tell me why I chose to have the colors appear in such odd proportions.

She had.....let's see if I remember

One gold -- there she is...

One blue......uh-huh

Three greens (two?) well, there's two.......

I can't remember the amount of browns

Two bronzes, which is three when she gets another, as Astra says.

Looks alright to me! *glances at her thing, winces. *

[Asha Wermyst]

Uncle is the blue one, and Beauty is the gold one (I think.)

[angeoria]

Yeah, Astra named them all.

[Mystic Dragon]

Thanks Astra. Couldn't remember the names for the life of me.

[LakotaWolf]

Astra has all the names right, it was Poll :}

[Asha Wermyst]

Hmm.....okay....not exactly wonderful names, but what can you say?

[angeoria]

*laughs* Maybe one runs out of creativity if suddenly required to come up with names for nine firelizards at once.

[Asha Wermyst]

Maybe........but "Poll?" "Auntie One?" Even I can think up better names at one in the morning! (Maybe even George Lucas, however unlikely.)

[LakotaWolf]

Asha, are you all right? o_O

[Asha Wermyst]

*breathes deeply. *Uhh......no. Feeling vicious. Find something to do.

[angeoria]

Perhaps Menolly, being a musical prodigy and all that, didn't have excess creativity for other matters? ~^

I rather like Poll, actually - pronounced to rhyme with "ball" rather than "bowl", it's kind of cute. ^^

[Asha Wermyst]

Uuuh......maybe. One would think a musical prodigy would have unending creativity. Especially if they were afraid of being in trouble if they wrote anything.


Poll? It's part of a horse's head.....near the top:

[Astra]

i thought a poll was when you ask a question and there are a bunch of multiple choice oppinion answers and ... yeah

[Shard]

On another note, I've sent 3 candidates to Dasmalenra. Their story is very brief and in consecutive pages, and does have a bit of suggestive nature to it (hey, it's in the books it might as well be here), due to that if they're not acceptable I'll send them somewhere else.

[Mystic Dragon]

Asha, it's from a McCaffrey book. It doesn't matter.

[Asha Wermyst]

So? It should still make at least a little sense!

A poll is a question too, but also the part of the horse the arrow points out.

[LakotaWolf]

::raises an eyebrow:: Well, does your name make sense? ::grin:: Does mine? Does Mystic's? My main character's name in one of my stories means "small" because she IS small, but another character's name in another book is Ferion just because I LIKE the sound of the word. "Ferion" doesn't mean anything. So, it doesn't have to make sense. Writer's discretion :D

[Astra]

I believe there was a horse named Poll, belonging to one of the original settlers (red hanrahan? maybe...). I just remember horses named Poll and Bay. But that could be an entirely different series

[jess d]

Poll and Bay were the biologists in Dragonsdawn
I just reread that one a couple weeks ago
