The Great OtakuBoards Scavenger Hunt 2006

[color=darkblue][size=1]I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #10 would be the [b]spoiler tags.[/b]

You can't use colour with them (or it'll show through) and you have to highlight them to see what's under. ^^[/color][/size]

[Sangome]

[size=1][color=darkorchid][font=arial]Well, let's have a go at this. P=

[b]If you use me
Your language becomes a lot less colorful
And a lot harder to read.[/b]

[size=1]I'm sorry to say this but most of your answers are wrong. Look for the the answers, and a new set of riddles, tomorrow.

Having said that, there is still time to edit your posts, or post your guesses if you haven't already. Don't give up yet!

[Mr. Maul]

[size=1][color=DimGray]Bah! It was so obvious (assuming you are correct, [b]Boba Fett[/b])! Why didn't I see it!?

Maybe I could edit my answer...

(Just kidding. Please don't kill me, mods!)

Charles?[/SIZE][/QUOTE]

I resent this riddle if it's me. The sensei of cAttitude resents being associated with a European spelling. My status is also a constant awesome.

Anyway, I'm guessing #2 is blue jeans.

[SIZE=1]I could be an answer? o: Cool. B)

[size=1][b]Moderators[/b] seems too obvious, but I'll try. There are mods, some people don't really care about becoming one, but they will always be there.[/size]

[Jokopoko]

[size=1][color=teal]#7
Some of you are me

Don't ask me why but I'm going to guess [b]Adam[/b][/color][/size]

[SIZE=1]I'm going to take a shot and say Replies, given that they can be created by any member and deleted by any Moderator or the posting member, where as signatures and banners can only be removed by more senior staff.[/SIZE]

Some people are new members, others don't care about them, and there will always be new members on the boards.

[B]Intriguing, Most Intriguing. Where have I been? LOL. Hmmm...Retri is smart, and probably right, but...

I'm gonna say that #1 is probably Admin. [/B]

But you don't always know when they see it.[/I]

Cookies? Just a guess.

[Sangome]

[size=1][color=darkorchid][font=arial]Could number five be Charles perchance?

Wait, I got beaten to that answer. Darn. Oh well, it's still my guess.[/color][/size][/font]

I was quite convinced that that was actually mods, as someone had answered before, but then I came to wonder why "Boards" was capitalized, so yes. I'm so proud of myself, even if it's wrong. ^~^

[Boo]

[size=1]... Oh my, you're probably right.

I figured Boards was capitalized because the 'b' in 'OtakuBoards' is always capitalized.[/size]

[Sandy]

Sheesh, people come up with the answers so fast... X(

Some of these riddles are pure genius, by the way, such as #7 of the last bunch - it's so obvious what the answer is [I]after[/I] you hear it! ;P

By my calculations all of the riddles have been given an applicable answer already, except that I'd like to take the liberty of widening the answer to the first one a bit.

So...

[B]#1: the whole OB Staff[/B]
