  1. Hi, it's me again!

    I got this idea and thought "Why not?"... so here it is. ;)

    Code:
    H A I X A N G O H H S A H L U N Q X G L 
    G Y C S O D P Z J K E L I R I S P M Y A 
    R A E G M F O S S I U B I G D A V I E S 
    A N C U A E E H B T A O F F O R K S E L 
    G A R L A M R H S T O O Y D L H N M A U 
    U M E P S N R U T E R N O N A P I A L I 
    S I A C I G A M R E D N E X F E G S E N 
    M K M J K L E M V F C Z G S C K G K X I 
    L U C K Y G R E E N B I R D K I I C C H 
    A N O E H T R S Y S P I L C E Y B O H C 
    P J W S A M U E R A K I A A K W K R A W

    There are over 40 current and former EMC members in there.
    For most I used their current name, but there are also members where I used a former name, by which I still know them. Underscores and numbers were omitted (that means I'm not in it :().

    If you want to play, I recommend either zooming in, taking a screenshot or a snippet of the screen, and marking the names in Paint, or copying the word search to Notepad, printing it, and then doing it on paper.

    Names can be written in all directions, including diagonally, and letters can be used multiple times.

    When you've given up, send me the image (or a photograph, if you did it IRL) and include the names found (you should write them down somewhere, so I can check if they're right).
    Do this by PM, so other people won't see what you found. (I might let you collaborate at the end, to see how many can be found in total)

    There will be some sort of prizes in the form of rupees and Club Points for the people who do well, but I'm not sure how yet, as I want to see how many entries I get first, and how many names are generally found.

    Hint: people I know personally are more likely to be in there, obviously.

    Have fun! :)

    PS: I'm sorry for the simple formatting, but I'm doing all of this on my iPad as I'm somewhere without access to a pc. :p
  2. If I wouldn't be as bad in thease as I am (as a dyslectic), I'd loved to participate :p
    interesting thing though, I've got numbers aswell, so I know I'm not in it :( but I can guess who are... :p

  3. I wouldn't be too sure about that... I said numbers and underscores were omitted, not names including them. ;)
    And you should be able to find at least a few, as some are really obvious from left to right. :p

  4. What is the exact number of names there?

  5. 43. But I doubt all will be found, manually. And it wouldn't be too easy to write a script for something like this, I think, especially not considering the vast amount of members that have been on EMC, with different names too. Of course, most players will search for the more known people, but an algorithm won't be able to do that so easily. ;)
    (of course you're supposed to do this manually, too. :p)


  6. Hey! Please PM answers and such to 607 and avoid posting it on the thread, please. :)

  7. I've got one entry so far. I'm waiting for more! :)
  8. Um. Bump? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  9. This is awesome :) Will definatelly do this sometime when I'm not so tired.

  10. Very cool idea, it is still quite hard though since there are so many potential members that could be in there, I might have spend a long time searching for some specific persons who weren't in there :p, or I just missed them anyways :rolleyes:.

    Oh well, I managed to find 38 out of 43, which is not that bad I think :cool:. (Also, am I just really bad at vertical ones or werent there that many vertical players in there?)

    Also, this kinda blew my scedual for today but it was fun anyways :p, spend about an hour on it.

  11. Haha, thanks!
    That's impressive! KnightZer0ne found a whole lot too, and combined with what you found there are now only 3 players that are in but have not been found! One of those might not be recognised by a lot... but the other two have been or are still quite well-known. ;)
    But that does not make me less impressed! I highly doubt I would've been able to find as many as you have so far. :p

    I still wouldn't mind more attempts from other people, though! :D

  13. This being why I gave up when I did, hehe. :p I got 27 in total before I gave up.

  14. If you want, you can send your progress to me before you've given up! You can always send another message later, if you've found additional names. :)
  15. This is an awesome idea. Found 1 by just glancing at the crossword. I think I saw Kephras like 5 times- or I'm going insane. :p

  16. i cant find myself ;-;
  17. You've been scammed.
  18. How so? I couldn't fit that many people into a 20 * 20 puzzle. :p
  19. could i make a 40*40 one? :eek:
  20. Probably, but I wanted to keep it reasonable. ;) I doubt many people would dare to try a 40 * 40 word search. :p
