Yep, I've responded. 
rachel has brought yet another issue to my attention. I will not, under any circumstances, use foriegn words. So, if you should find the word fete (as she did) simply ignore it, I did not intentionally include any word from a different language.

I wonder who got the crossword with the username...
Tue Sep 07, 2004 12:46 am
Nope, no quiz. There won't be another one until I actually have another execution. (Which won't be for another couple of challenges) I'll actually have the next challenge up tomorrow after this one is over, since it will take everyone at least one day, if not two, to complete it.
Since cap has brought this to my attention, I will mention this-there are no 3-letter words, but 4-letter words are extremely rare. If you come across more than two, then those are probably mistakes (made by me, of course) and more than likely not supposed to be in there. Simply put, if you end up not being able to find all 10 words that I put in, but you do find at least 5 extra words that were not supposed to be in there, I will count your card as complete once the challenge is over anyway. But you'll still have to guess the common thread yourself.

Aah! Has this been due yet? x.x Stupid Hurricane Frances knocked out my Internet connection.
Tue Sep 07, 2004 1:11 am
lol no, it's not due until 12:30 PM EST tomorrow, so you have well over 15 hours left to go.
Tue Sep 07, 2004 1:13 am
Oh, thank god. XD Oh, and BTW I got the Lenny Conundrum like 5 minutes after it was released.

Looks like we're raking in the dough. ^-^
I was so tempted to add bogie, holy, and mew to my list, but at the last second, I found 2 that fit my subject better.

Here is a progress report on me. . .I found 7 words so far with a common theme. I think one of them may be mispelled! LOL The last 3 are boogers to find! Is there a NeoPets word in each one? Because mine doesn't contain any NeoPets words that I can find so far! I'll look some more in the morning! Oh, and excellent challenge!!
Tue Sep 07, 2004 4:05 am
Thank you, lewys. I double-checked, and I'm almost positive that I didn't mis-spell anything, but I'll give your card a look and let you know. And no, some of them have absolutely nothing to do with neopets, so don't be concerned if you can't find anything relating to neopets.
*Edit* Ah, yes. I realize many of my players are either in school/going back to school, so the Mole schedule will probably become more lax in upcoming challenges. I will do my best to accomodate everyone's schedule, so if there's ever any problem, please let me know. I can do extentions, delays, ect.
And I want to do mini-challenges, but I rarely see anyone on. So, if you want to attempt a challenge sometime during the game, and you're willing to wait until I happen to randomly be on at the same time, please PM me. Expect most to take 30 minutes to an hour.

I've *been* in school for 5 weeks. XD
Tue Sep 07, 2004 4:26 pm
Yes, I know some people have, but others just started today, which is why I'm extending the deadline for this challenge until midnight tonight. (EST time, of course. )

I'm back from my first day of school. I only found five of the 10 words all in the theme. I'm hopeless on crosswords with out a list.
Tue Sep 07, 2004 8:59 pm
I have found 8 out of 10 but those last two words are making me crazy! I even know the theme but I got to find those last two silly words! I'm still looking, tho!

Well, Noelle has sent in her answers. She got 5 of the words correct, and added 5k to the group pot. It now stands at 69k. Well done.
