Mystery Pic #393

Tue Apr 05, 2005 9:46 pm

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Mystery Pic game (Round 392). We have given you 4000 NP!

Poot, I didn't get the prize.

The answer was Caption Competition #333

My hint about listening to "1979" was a reference to The Smashing Pumpkins.

-prize neomail edited-

No trophy upgrade

JasEdit: Only one prize neomail is posted per thread per this rule:

After a Mystery Pic or Lenny Conundrum comes out, only one post containing the prize neomail should be sufficient. These posts are clogging up the MP and LC threads. Any other posts about the prizes will be deleted and a PM will be sent to the poster.

4000 np on the button.

I don't remember the last MP we had such an even payout.

where in the picture was it located?

and i get the 1979 hint but what did these hints mean..

Um, I'll just say that if you looked at one every day for a year, you'd find it sometime in November. Wink

Please though, no more hints.

I *think* that was implying that on Halloween people wouldn't get treats if they say that...?

Not too sure about this one... But was the caption contest that had the answer-uh-released in November?

For the November hint, if you looked at one Caption Contest a day, starting on January 1st with CC #1, you would get to CC#333 sometime in November.

This is a reference to the Caption Contest Help page, which was what led me to the right answer.

Exactly -- it'd be November 28 or 29. I thought I was making that too easy! I guess not.

Scroll of Dark Nova was a MP prize before, wasn't it? I still have the one I won a long time ago. I can't remember if it was from the MP or the Brightvale wheel, though.

I thought it was a different Brightvale Scroll that was a prize before. I can't remember which, though, because I didn't win it that time.

Or am I thinking of the LC?

Lol. That would explain why I didn't win it.

Captions makes the most sense and the others are easily checked for graphics!

The hints ended up blowing right past me.

Because the green in the pic looked so much like a frog, I figured the "WHAAAAAAAZZZZZUUUUUPPPP!" was referring to the Budweiser commercials. Budweiser also had the "budweiser" frogs as well. The hint actually went against my instincts, though, because I know Stampsyne usually makes her hints "Neopetish" in nature. I figured it might be a Mortog related thing, though.

I actually figured out the 1979 reference was to Smashing Pumpkins ... I went to find lyrics for the song, but of course I was looking for frog references.

Cranberry's hint made me think of after Halloweenish time in combination to Lupetylupe's .... I should have recognized that one, though.

These end up being much easier when I am not working so much and have more free time!

Any ideas? Look like something that may be from the Maraqua plot.
