[General] Find El's mom! A (silly, and perhaps impossible) contest!

1 2

  1. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 7 months ago

    We all know who El's Dad is. Well, if you read these forums, you should know!

    But who is El's mom? Where is she? What's her history?

    I believe I have found the answer to this mystery! And if you can find her, you can win a (modest... very modest) prize! And fifteen minutes of fame!

    Objective: Find El's mom (a character somewhere in Azeroth).

    How do I identify her? You have to ask! If you see someone you suspect to El's mom, you have to 'say': "Are you El's mom?" If it truly is El's mom, she will respond 'properly' and your name will be posted here! (and you will get your 'prize').

    Note: She will not respond to 'whisper' or 'yell'. You have to basically be right in front of her.

    How do I know if the El's mom I found is really El's mom? Read this forum; the winner will be announced here.

    Some ground rules:
    El's mom will be online (somewhere) about an hour each day.
    I will post a new hint (in this thread) each day about her or where you can find her. The first few hints will be incredibly vague :)

    First Hint: She's a Gnome!

    Disclaimers:
    This Silly Little Contest is in no way endorsed or even approved by El's Anglin' or anyone affiliated with El's Anglin.

    El's mom may not even really be the 'real' El's mom! It may just be a vicious Dwarf rumor instigated as a quick money making scheme.

    Prizes awarded are subject to great change (hey, how could I possibly give a lvl 70 alt something of value anyway?). It's all about the fame, baby!

    You can sue me for lost time and wasted moments of your life but you can't get blood from a stone or money from a pauper.

    No gnomes were hurt in the making of this contest. OK, maybe very slightly but the scars will hardly show.

    OK, Incredibly Vague Hint #2: She looks a lot like someone else!

    Future hints will be less incredibly vague... maybe... I hope...

  3. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 7 months ago

    OK, moving on to slightly less vague hints...

    Slightly Less Vague Hint #3: She is NOT on a PVE server!

  4. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Slightly Less Vague Hint #4: She (almost) always logs in and logs out from the location.

  5. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Slightly Less Vague Hint #5: She is NO LONGER guildless! (see hint #10)

  6. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Oops! Late Hint #6: (but that's ok, the next one will be early) She spends about 10 minutes a day in the same location with someone 'special'.

  7. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Not So Late Hint #7: She's a lowbie! (lowbie = lvl < 30)

  8. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Slowly Getting Relevant Hint #8: She has a name that's... um... well... think anagram!

  9. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Almost Normal Hint #9:The chances are quite high (99.99999+%) that she lives on a RP-PvP server.

  10. By Stephenn <Angler> 6 months ago

    I think that I'm close to finding El's mom.

  11. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    You had some chances tonight. She was on for about three hours. :)

  12. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Almost Normal Hint #10:She founded a guild!

    But since that really is part of Hint #5, here's a bit more.

    Every day this stuff happens (not necessarily in this order nor at the same time every day):

    1. Spends 10 minutes with that 'special' person (10 minutes being the amount of time the Aquadynamic Fish Lens last)
    2. Currently questing out of Ashenvale (but logs in/logs out of her 'home' inn which is somewhere else).
    3. Spends some time in the AH.

    Oh... the 'prize' is now complete and is carried with her so the person who first identifies here will get an 'instant' reward. :)

    Originally it was going to be a Weather-Beaten Journal but since Blizz has thwarted my Journal Identification Scheme, I have substituted something that 'should' be of comparable value.

    Hint #11: The first Visual Hint! You can find her looking at this view for 10 minutes a day:

    Hint #12:
    More visuals:

    This is what she sees when she wakes up in the morning (hmm... do all Inns have the same pics hanging?):

    And here's what the winner will get! (Trying to throw a bit more incentive into the contest):

    And hurry up and find her! There's 16 slots here I can't use for 'real' stuff! :)

  15. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Hint #13: She'll be online at random times between 5pm and 12pm Pacific Time tonight (2/19).

    Where to find her? Try "The grin isn't wet" (think anagrammatically).

    And her name? Well, this web page name is a big clue (more anagrams) but don't go to (or use) 'extreme' measures.

  16. By Hy <Moderator> 6 months ago

    She's on Netherwing's tit? Not that I'm going to sit around for up to 19 hours to find out.

  17. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Um... no.

    She'll be on tonight.

    Hint #14:
    I'll summarize some of the more salient hints here:

    She's on one of the RP-PvP servers. Hy would have it except for his spelling dyslexia.

    Her name is an anagram of this web site (sans 'extreme')

    She'll be online tonight approximately from 7pm - 10pm Pacific Time. (I think that may be 2 hours different than server time.)

    She always starts and leaves from the same Inn.

    She always spends a minimum of 10 minutes with you-know-who. (If you don't know you-know-who, you should know you-know-who, and thus where he is, and thus where she will be.)

    She will be questing in Stonetalon Mountains, Ashenvale and perhaps Wetlands (hint: 'who' is your friend).

    Special Award:
    After the contest, the non-winners on any RP-PvP server (anyone who actually phrased the question "Are you El's Mom?" to another character) can win a prize just by emailing me stating they did so. I assume that all fisherman are honest and never lie. I will post the name of each alt on the RP-PvP servers who is qualified to award the non-winners prize. :)

    Hint #15: Hey, if no one ever finds her,I'll be bumping this thread every day for the rest of her virtual life, and we really don't want that, do we?

    Tonight's (Thursday) schedule: 10 minutes with her ex, fishing at Mirkfallon lake, and then to the AH in Stormwind.

  19. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Hint #16: She's been sighted! A bit overexposed perhaps, but nonetheless...

    http://www.firish.com/WoW/Angel1a.jpg

    Note her distinctive headband (+17 fire damage, baby!) which will help a bit in recognition.

    Her online time tonight and this weekend will be rather random (because of 'social' obligations). But I will reveal that she is on the server "Twisting Nether" (which I assume some of you had already worked out).

    So now it's just down to 'who' (the exact name) and 'when' (non-predictable, unfortunately). But you might try after 11:30pm server time tonight..

  20. By Kylkiluut <Community Organizer> 6 months ago

    Hint #17:Saturday: online from 10:45 am(server) to 1:00 pm (server) with random breaks. Visiting her ex, Southshore, and SW AH.

    (edit 1) make that Stone Talon Mtns for questing...
