Greetings, soon-to-be-DK4 users!
I've developed a fun little picture riddle game for everyone which I'm calling Name That Kossack. Here's how it works:
I will give you a series of pictures, both Photoshopped and not, and based on what you see, you guess the Daily Kos username of the Kossack the picture is referring to. For example,
would be LaughingPlanet. That's all there is to it: Look at the picture, guess who it is. There are 30 pictures in all. Who knows, maybe they can be used as avatars in DK4?
Here are the rules:
- Obviously, you need to be able to view the pictures to play.
- Leave your answers in the body of the comment section. Do not leave them in the subject line.
- You may use whatever tools at your disposal (Google, Daily Kos search engine, Photoshop, etc) to figure the riddles out.
- I will update the diary by providing links to the first user who answers each riddle correctly.
Also, here are some helpful hints:
a) The pictures will generally get trickier as you go.
b) Some pictures have hints, others don't.
c) Some pictures will test your knowledge of geography, movies, and popular culture. Again, Google is your friend.
d) Some pictures are designed to be sneaky. For example, if you see a picture of a bee, that may refer to either the word "bee" or simply the letter B.
e) All pictures were selected to refer to active Daily Kos users who are at least fairly frequent commenters/diarists. In other words, I didn't pick anyone who signed up yesterday or hasn't posted any comments/diaries in 5 years.
f) Finally, what you don't see in the picture may be just as important as what you do see.
Got all that? Good luck, and have fun!
