X-13 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) tiny big clue tbc prize is yet to be confirmed? tbc = Tactical Bacon Cannon Le EDIT: or in light of the new ISP filtering: Totally Blocking Carnality. [iT'S A REAL WORD!] Edited December 19, 2013 by X-13 1
sonofsanta Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Joke. Review thread for details. I knew that! I was joking myself, you just didn't get it! I, er... yeah!
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Bonus just for a guess whether its correct or not? My guess is a supermarket sweep style trip around the VeryPC production line. Whatever you can carry or fit in your pockets you get to keep, including Al. Am I right?That would be so awesome, and incredibly expensive for us! No - it is not that. [Giddy] Is it the Smugotron 2000??? It is isn't it?!! It's the Smugotron 2000 fo'shure!!! Yep. Ace prize. Totally awesome.[/giddy]I really wanna say yes, but you are like soooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong *smug* Is that the clue? ie there is no prize!!!Yeah - what a brutal tease I've been - no prize! Nope, you're wrong, there is a prize. Is it a greengrocer's apostrophe? (Also, I fear the subtle clue is not to subtle when quoting and seeing the link to the Nano PC. Alas! Unless that itself is just a clue, and the real prize is a fleet of nanobots psychically melded to the brain stem and able to respond instantly to mental commands, thus allowing the winner to establish themselves as The Dominator, overthrowing the British government and ruling over a new cyberpunk dystopia called Verypcia. But it's probably the first thing.)No is not gramaticalistic errors. End of statement. Also not nano-bots, but that scenario will be played out in 2014. Oooh is it a grammer checker?Should be, looks like we need it. Nope Broadleaf Max? With a awesome GPU? (i know i dont get an extra entry) but it would be coolWould be cool, if it were true! No. I've got it! It's that simple because the star prize is actually a star. You get your very own star as the star prize.Actually the local star - you will own the sun itself! No you won't. Wrong. I would have to guess Nano Sketch !No, this is COMPLETELY wrong and nothing like the real answer. Some great guesses here. I knew if I said no prize for correct but bonus entries for guesses we'd get more interesting suggestions! Bonuses for you all except @sparkeh and @HaleStorm who are already maxed, but I didn't want to leave them out of my reply. Thanks folks, Al
hallb15 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Is it a bowl of fish fingers and custard? 2
hallb15 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Or a scotch ostrich egg? Scotch Ostrich Egg 1
bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 snip... Actually the local star - you will own the sun itself! No you won't. Wrong. snip... Sheffield Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 LOL. You cheeky bar-steward. I just spotted it. [i use the editor in WYSIWYG mode, so it isn't as obvious.] That's what I was hoping for - but glad it wasn't completely unfindable. Al
CamelMan Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (other than pride and smugosity), HaleStorm. CLUE: there is a tiny big clue somewhere in this paragraph. Is it a box set of "Pride and Smugosity"? The VeryPC remake of Pride and Predudice? or the complete works of the metal band HaleStorm?? Is it a print out of madvent thread in all its random glory??
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Woo, eclairs coming my way. Thanks @VeryPC You're welcome, but they will be a new year treat rather than a xmas one now, as will all prizes won tomorrow of course. All names go back in for the final draw (25), so good luck with that one too. Al
sonofsanta Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 No, wait - the link was to the Nano, Nano sounds like nee-nah, nee-nah is the sound of an ambulance... Does the winner get hospitalised by Emma? 2
fiza Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 That's it! You've given me the idea I needed. I've been trying to come up with an all-inclusive way of earning bonus entries for anyone following the thread closely. Here it is: Make a guess at what the star prize for day 25 is and I will award you a bonus entry. It's that simple - no prize for correct answer (other than pride and smugosity), but a single bonus entry for each person who has one or more guesses. Remember that no-one gets more than 3 total entries including their original entry (currently just @sparkeh and @HaleStorm are maxed out). CLUE: there is a tiny big clue somewhere in this paragraph. Al EDIT - I will reveal the prize later today. I'll take guesses until 3pm then tell you all what it is, so make your guesses... I think I have it! Pride and Smugosity and a total of 3 entries PS3!! 1

Ehhh, yes, no. I don't know! You've confused me. No not these, but bonus earned.

clareq Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 When I was little, it was always a nativity scene behind the last window - that's what it is, isn't it - we're getting a donkey... 1
X-13 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I think I have it! Pride and Smugosity and a total of 3 entries PS3!! I think I've cracked it! Day 25 > 2 and 5 > 5 - 2 = 3 3 entries > 3 + 3 = 6 > 6 sounds like "sick" > Being ill can end your LIFE 3 competitions this year [back to school, Stock2ber, MADvent] > 3 is HALF of 6 HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED! Wait... what. Edited December 19, 2013 by X-13 1
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Or a scotch ostrich egg? Scotch Ostrich Egg I saw this a while back and thought that the concept is just awesome, but the final result does not look very appetising. Imagine trying to scoff your way through that giant dry pale yolk - yeugh! Al
Matt-A Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Is it the 1976 classic album "Trocadero" by Showaddywaddy? Signed of course? 1
teejay Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Well from Al's time travelling exploits it's either a Commodore Pet or a Playstation 7.
teejay Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Saying that, the Mother in Law is round Christmas Day, so I'd love to win a crate of Tactical Nuclear Penguin or alternatively a baseball bat, mini digger and some quick lime.
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 When I was little, it was always a nativity scene behind the last window - that's what it is, isn't it - we're getting a donkey... Yep - I've been hiding a donkey under that sheet since December 1st, feeding her Lindor and Rocher. Bonus earned. Al

sparkeh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Ok gonna try and do an @X-13 The nano is mine!! I'm pretty confident.

Wait... what. Half Life 3 as a star prize - that would be disappointing

Hmm the fire alarm went off when I was posting that (end of term fun and games!) must have rushed and clipped some code bits!
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Well from Al's time travelling exploits it's either a Commodore Pet or a Playstation 7. It's a Vic 21, the new generation, released 2015. No it isn't. Bonus for you-hoo. Al
