Guess that member : A word scramble

[Spddin Ignis]

Here's how it works. Listed below will be 20 scrambled member names. In some of these, certain words such as "the" have been taken from the front of the name, and in others the title of the person has been removed. For example if the name was "Super Kar" the Super would be removed from the name.

 

For members that change their name constantly or not, the name that they are called most will be used. None of the members here are extremely new.

How come the 'of' in 12 isn't scrambled? That makes it too easy.

[Spddin Ignis]

That would be a waste of time.

 

 

Person 1:Hmmm. what could fo be...oh wait i know. It HAS to be bob

 

Person 2: Um...no its of.

 

Person 1: Oh

I would get more, but A) I'm lazy and I don't frequent the non-Geneforge forums.

[Alorael at Large]

Why not scramble everything and leave out the spaces? If you want to make it easier, you can say the number of words in the name.

 

—Alorael, who finds these scrambles insufficiently challenging. The next time you should pick a bunch of members, scramble them all together, and see who can come up with the complete list of mashed-up members with no letters left over.

[Celtic Minstrel]

Aw, I'm not on there.

Actually, 12 isn't you at all, but rather little known member Notified Nut Tryst. I remember their one post quite well. They posted it way back in March 2007 in the Tech Support Forum. It was a post of such sheer genius that I stared at it in awe for at least five minutes and I will consider myself lucky if I can achieve that level of brilliance once in my life.

Unfortunately, both the account and the post seemed to have been lost in the board move. Dikiyoba could not be more disappointed.

Now what?

[Spddin Ignis]

I think that's all of them!!!! And i beleive that almost everything is spelled correctly.

 

Person 1:I spelt that right, right

Person 2:No

Person 1:What's wrong with it?

Person 2:IDK, you wrote it so I'm assuming there is a spelling error.

 

person 1:oh

This was an entertaining diversion for five minutes. Try harder next time.

[Spddin Ignis]

5 minutes? It took me 10 to scramble them properly.

P1: How to scramble Arancaytrus?

P2: Anratrus

P1: Nope, that doesn't work, missing letter

P2: Arancaytrus

P1: That's not scrambled you Idiot

P2: ...oh

 

 

[Aran]

Code:

def scramble(text):	text = list(text)	random.shuffle(text)	return "".join(text)

Never ever spend more than a minute on something a computer can do in half a second.

[Spddin Ignis]

Thx. for under complicating my life

 

Person 1: I've been working on this for hours.

Person 2: *walks up to computer and types in code"

Person 1: What is this?

Person 2: Just put in the numbers and it solves it for you.

Person 1: Are you kidding me? You couldn't tell me this before because?

Person 2: You didn't ask...

[nikki.]

I'm glad to see I'm at the top of the list, as I should be. Though, of course, the real victory is that I made the list and Dikiyoba did not.

 

As an aside, the OP says that "For members that change their name constantly or not, the name that they are called most will be used." If that's so, #8 should be "Jumpin' Salmon".

[Dantius]

Dikiyoba made the list at number 13. I placed higher than Alorael, so there.

[Dikiyoba]

Besides Salmon, "Arancaytrus" should really be "Arancaytar" and Drakon Sssharx is spelled with one more S than you put in.

 

Dikiyoba.

That part sounds like a calculator.

[Callie]

Also, "Ghost of Jewels" should simply be "Jewels."

[nikki.]

Also, "Jewels" should be "Gizmo".

[Swimmin' Salmon]

Also, add some difficulty. Use a cipher or something.

[Balladeer]

Officially it's "Jewels of the Forest". Just check Aran's list.

 

But most of the newbies only know me as Jewels. I make no real attempt to 'correct' them and there's getting to be more newbies than oldbies around. I like Jewels better anyway. It's more than a name to me. Marks the second most significant page in my book.

[Dikiyoba]

Well, Nikki and I just put together a set that should be a bit more challenging. No using outside tools to unscramble them. Go!

 

1. Rarest luck

2. A nastiness he lists

3. Chin typo

4. Legal lemur trooper

5. A scrutiny

6. Rich nerds go

7. Such void lilies

8. He's into cod

9. Sand tear

10. Avatars rock men

11. Hexagram lace

Dikiyoba wishes Dikiyoba had an awesome name like these people. Unfortunately, Dikiyoba doesn't.

There isn't a "y" so it can't be. It's actually Nicothodes.

[Dikiyoba]

Both correct. (I'm assuming the other two were edited in later.)

[nikki.]

There is a twelfth anagram somewhere on the boards (hint: in General) for you to unscramble.

Heh, my name's too easy for this.

These are more difficult. Sometimes, I had to work backword from the name to get the result. #11 and 6 were particularly tricky. Better than Sudoku. OOOH, I've got a good one:

 

MT.

[Acky]

Turn the difficulty down, we're only human.

...erm....

no comment.

~Artemis and looking up to people. It doesn't happen often. Noone looks up to me.

[Hypnotic]

I'd imagine little kids would, unless of course they're standing on something that makes them taller than you.

 

Dantius, that is a hard one....TM!

 

I thought that was a nice challenge, even though I only got a few before I just looked at everyone else's answers.

[Dantius]

Believe it or not, I didn't cheat. Not the Re: Dikiyoba in the corner? I accessed this last night, and solved them in the morning after breakfast.

[Celtic Minstrel]

Aw, I'm still not on there. In any case, it's nice how you managed to scramble them into actual words.

[Callie]

Looks like we need some more. Some of these are easier, and maybe a few are more obscure. (Note that none of these names actually have apostrophes or commas)

 

1. End Gong Ilk

2. Mannerly

3. Slim Cleric Tents

4. Sea Hall

5. A Canary Rat

8 The Mystic

 

18. Enraged Slith

 

25 Ishad Nha

[Dantius]

Right. (rubs hands together). This should take me a little while. I should be able to get all of them.

[Celtic Minstrel]

I thought at first that #3 was me, but it has an extra S...

[The Mystic]

Tough one. Here's what I've got so far:

 

6. Web Toys = Stew Boy

8. It's my etch = The Mystic

11. Fluff Mining Mailman Fern = Infernal Flaming Muffin

[Dantius]

1.Goldenking

2.Marlenny

3.Celtic Minstrel

4.Ash Lael

5.Arancaytar

6.Stew Boy

7.Aceaton? I'm not aware of any members with a name like this

8.The Mystic

9.Scorpius? See number 7

10.I can't think of any members besides Ssharxx that have two X's.

11.Infernal Flaming Muffin (difficult one, I wasn't looking for the full name, just Iffy)

12.Randomizer

14.Doom Warrior

16.Dinitraidian

17. Fluffy Turtles? This is too long, I won't bother.

18.Enraged Slith

19.Zephyr Tempest (I call foul on the inclusion of a comma. That threw me off)

22.Magma Dragoon

23.Stillness? See number 7 and 9

25.Island Nah

 

 

I missed 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 21,and 24. Still pretty good.

[nikki.]

Question: If you are not aware of members with certain names, how did you come up with answers? "Acaeton" (who is a real member) isn't a particularly common word, and certainly not one that you would guess at.

 

Also, Acaeton, Stillness and Scorpius are all real members, yes.

[Dantius]

Au contraire. Ever painted, and got paint on your hands? Or maybe super glue? Well, if you did, you probably went to your basement, and poured some paint thinner on it get it off. Paint thinner is also known as acetone. Now, seeing as I was using it just the other day, when I got glue on my hands, I immediately thought "Acetone", and then modified it until I got a decent-sounding word. Voila.

I got Scorpia because of Scorpion, obviously, and the fact that it sounded cool. Stillness jumped out, and I didn't bother to look further.
