There will always be a Guardian. And there will always be... the Guarded. (Sounds cooler with Hunter and Hunted, doesn't it?)

Hey - looks like most of the work's been done on this new Contest already. (With no small amount of headaches on your own part, I imagine. ;)) Might as well try to fill in a couple more blanks...

NEW CONTEST UPDATE
NOTE:
The two contests are now for
1) Who gets the most points for filling in the most blanks.
2) Who fills in the very LAST blank. (Not #525 which has already been filled in, but the last empty unfilled blank, whatever number that is).
We're no longer going to award a prize for reprinting the whole essay filled in. I'll do that (for free) when we're done.
The following blanks still need to be filled:
42, 44, 74, 129, 233, 292, 293, 408, 446, 510, 517, 518, 519
That's only thirteen left.
CONTEST UPDATE
The following blanks remain to be filled:
42, 44, 74, 125, 129, 133, 134, 233, 244, 292, 293, 314, 322, 327, 328, 408, 433, 444, 446, 490, 508, 510, 517, 518, 519.
That's only 25 left out of 525. Very good work, people.
Now the "bad" news. I'm cancelling the second part of the contest, the part where the first person to list the entire essay correctly gets a prize. I apologize, but the whole thing just became unwieldy, and I can't imagine having to go through twenty or thirty of the full-length essays just to find one or two words wrong in them.
Whether or not you think you have enough points to win the other part of the contest, I still urge everyone to keep guessing these last 25 blanks. First of all, I want this monster over. And second, I can't answer ANY questions about 2198 until the contest is completed. And third, well, it's just nice for everyone to be working together to solve the thing.
Thanks,
Greg

I admit I don't like the repetition of the name Nicholas Natsilane that much... We already had two repetitions with Delilah and Zafiro...

The others are wrong.
And there are reasons, I think important reasons, for all the repetition. Sorry.

233: Heritage
408: Heritage
This one's a long shot, but I'm running out of eight-letter words in the gargoyles-fans.org synopsis of this episode. I continue to be surprised by the importance of "Heritage" (the episode) in the Gargoyles Universe. When I watched the episode, it seemed like just another chapter in the World Tour. Now, it appears that a whole lot of the future revolves around that little island. Amazing.
I should have realized there are no "throw-away" episodes in "Gargoyles."
Greg responds...
nope, no throw aways. But nope, wrong answers...

Soon the time will come when only a handful of guesses will remain - I guess that then a number of people will try to post the entire text so as to win the second prize of the contest.
Since the text's many pages long, and since you *do* tell us which guesses are correct and which aren't, and since the texts will have only one-word variations between them, I think it might be better if you just said that the guy or gal who fills in the last blank wins the second prize - with no need to post the *entire* text.
What do you think? I'm just trying to find ways to avoid dozens of pages of text being posted with little or no difference between them...
Greg responds...
HEY! That's a good idea. I already cancelled the second contest. But will play it this way. One prize for the guy or gal with the most points. And one for the person who comes up with that last pesky answer.

Well, I finally decided to submit a few possible entries to the Gargoyles 2198 contest. Here they are:
44 - hated
134 - occupied
241- Maza
433 - fury
455 - Earth
490 - occupation

BTW if 254 is "Sentinel", I think you owe Graymonk a point.
if not, nevermind.
Greg responds...
2 pts for 133 and 444.
134 is wrong.
As for 254, it is indeed Sentinel, but I have Aris getting the point for that, not Graymonk. It's possible I made an error. It's a very complicated contest, but I've tried to be careful. Is it possible Graymonk listed the wrong number and/or mispelled the word and/or gave his answer after Aris?
