Just a silly question:
I've noticed that you haven't put your 'thank you come again' or 'TYCA' at the bottom of the G2198 contest entries. Why exactly?

2198 CONTEST

Actually, it kind of makes sense that the really "easy" blanks would be the hardest to fill. Stuff like "Nicholas Natsilane" we can find by looking through synopses of old episodes. Our knowledge of Gargoyles gives us a basis for deducing these. But figuring out the last five is more about a knowledge of Greg Weisman than a knowledge of Gargoyles. There simply aren't as many clues to these as there were for some of the others. We just have to try to guess what words you would use given the number of letters in the word. And we know a lot less about you than we do about the show. It could be a while.

This contest is taking way too long. I doubt this'll help, but I'll give it another try.

74) alliances
518) dastardly
519) perception

Btw, can't you already declare who the winner with the most points is, or is the race really that close?

Hey - do you mind if you make a verification for the clues of all the remaining blanks?

74. - 9 letters
129. - 10 letters
293. - 10 letters
446. - 9 letters
510. - 8 letters
517. - 8 letters
518. - 9 letters
519. - 10 letters

Thanks. Just in case any one of them was wrong.

Aris Katsaris writes...

There seems to have been a glitch in the last bunch of questions answered so that instead of responding to a particular question, you repeated the immediately *previous* response. Weird.

Anyway, some guesses which were 'lost' in that way.
Phil guessed:
446: universal

Greyphoenix guessed:
446: immediate
518: brilliant
519: masterplan

Empty queue? Guess there's no harm in adding another guess or two:

Some fresh stabs at the last few blanks in the "Gargoyles 2198" contest:

129 - undefended
293 - efficiency

Aaron E. writes...

Hi Greg,
A While back, you mentioned that One of the reasons Xanatos essentially stopped trying to make his own Gargoyles, is that Thailog kind of Scared him. Another response showed that a lot of the thoughts, morals and ethics of Thailog were based upon what Xanatos fed him in the maturation chamber.
Is this enough to say that Thailog, is almost a reflection of Xanatos' mind/attitude? (that is, prior to his marriage and family.)
Is that why Thailog Scares him?

Thanks

Aris Katsaris writes...

Thanks, Phil, though my guess is those submissions were wrong anyway.

Btw, Greg, I checked and it seems that Graymonk had indeed submitted "Sentinel" for 254 before I did, so that particular point should go to him. You probably made a mistake there because that guess was part of a *huge* list of guesses, all the rest of which were wrong.

Just to be clear on my previous post, I'm not trying to steal Aris's guesses. He should get credit for them.

Aris posted the following guesses, but then distracted you with his suggestion for simplifying the second part of the contest so you never gave him points for it.

The answer to 244 really interests me and I figured I might as well throw out a guess, so here goes...

Urk - I just realized I'd read some clues incorrectly. My apologies for any resulting annoyance.

293) indignatio (a relic of high school Latin)
