Whoa there felix. Slow down. Spamming links won't help you win this one. In fact I'd prefer it if people stuck to one solution at time. And no, nobody has got it yet.

Not really spaming them; there's just more that fit the same explanation (which I've made mention). But on that topic, we probably should have a template, in future contests anyway—preferably simple and on one line. That way there's no link spamming problem, or interpretation. Something like the following:

Answer: Small with big rep
http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=38357 (SweetHoney)

Answer: Everywhere (small world), little villager but "larger" as in more then on the forum, onwards or backwards = think outside the box, "once" = only one link
http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/ (link at bottom of every page)

Why is my post showing "Last edited by Daniel E"? yet in the history the edit in question is actually mine? (as in I made it, but still credited to Daniel)

Quote:

The man collapses. Who was he talking about?
Hm. So villager or village eh. "find'um" can also refer to "many." Guess I wasn't so blind on the first try solving it.

That sounds like a post merge to me. Maybe Daniel compressed some of your successive posts.

What a tough riddle. I'm just gonna randomly guess the member search.

http://forums.animesuki.com/memberlist.php?do=search

The drunk guy wants to find someone he can hardly remember. And when you do a search, you'll get similar names that can make you mistaken someone for another especially if you make typos /are drunk.

When he leans in and says small world, I take it as he identifies you as a a part of this village.
And the bar may also mean a row.
Small=only a small proportion of the registered members are on at one time
Bigger than you think=the guests+bots that lurk

Some of those links are dead, so don't apply. As for the random thread link, where did you find it? It shouldn't be there and is probably a by-product of the 2005 issues.

And speaking of errors, seems half of the history article has been cut off: http://animesuki.com/doc.php/history.html


I'm gonna stick with the idea of village and villager as a slide of hand.

Maybe he means the one he's talking to? In this case me.

That's likely a trap (it was mentioned several times). Probably village/villager is one as well. Given everyone at the end is asking for "who is he" it's likely a user profile.

Hm, then again:

Going off the idea that it's yourself (although I'm not sure that that's even allowed since it would have a unique answer for each person...)

Or maybe when he says small world, he's referring to the fact that you know this person?
