(Robin, thanks for the vote of confidence, but it's still too early for congratulations.)

Greg,

Earlier I promised to stay logical and not resort to random trial and error guessing. But after thinking about it a little more, I have a question.

I have made the assumption that the answers can be reached logically, but is that really the case? In the clans contest, Korea was (as far as we're concerned) completely out of the blue. Are any of these answers "not hinted at"?

Specifially I'm thinking of the Maza descendent in paragraph 233-253. Is he named after someone (either in-universe or out) or is it just a name you picked out of the air.

Also the robots' designations in paragraph 306-339. Do they have any significance, or are they random numbers?

(P.S. You've already given us plenty of hints, so feel free to reply with "Not saying." I'm just hoping to prevent tons of random mindless guessing, if possible.)

Thanks

236: Monmouth
238: Monmouth

I was going to write "Castaway" when I remembered the Monmouths... If it turns out to be Castaway, what a stir *that* will create :-)

(and oh - if it's Monmouth or Castaway, you had wrongly said it's a nine letter word :-)

Ok, I hope those answers haven't been guessed already, they hadn't as of your Sept. 30 ramble, but I didn't bother to look at the ones that were being submitted, but haven't been checked yet, becuase they may not be right.

2198 Contest.

When this contest started, Greg, I thought you'd gone starkers. Now I find myself caught up in in the excitement.

(And yes, I checked the answered and queued responses. I was disappointed to see so many other people guessed the same as I did with some.)

134. enslaved
135. gargoyle
290. world
298. Corporation

Hi,

I guess I should give a brief introduction since I'm new here (this being my first post and all). My name's Eleanor and I'm from NYC. I've been a fan of Gargoyles since it came out back in '94 when I was in fourth grade. I remember rushing back home from school Mondays thru Thursdays so I could manage to record the show on tape (much to my grandmother's bewilderment). My favorite episodes had been "Eye of the Beholder," "The Mirror," "Hunter's Moon" trilogy, and "The Journey". I was saddened to hear the series was cancelled in 1997, but wonders what the internet could offer (I discovered this part of the site 1 week ago) - I never knew there would be so many fans! I loved how you interwoven so many legends/myths into your show; my knowledge of Shakespeare had been limited (well, I was in grade school) until I watched the episodes. Last year my English 10 Honors class was studying "MacBeth" - I was able to recognize many of the names from the play. Thank you for expanding the imagination of the child I was six years ago and making me the lover of legends I am today.

All right, I think I'm getting too off-topic... wouldn't want to put anyone to sleep :) Anyway---
