I'm pretty sure there's Scolo, second in from the left... but who is the other?
I don't think it could be one of the girls, seeing as Menelmacar is from Canada, and Rep is from California, and Steph isn't there...
One of the girls should be PopeHope though.
Winner will recieve a mysterious prize!

Ok, we all had our laughs. As any of the guests there will tell you, I was actually there, and in the picture, but we realized that it would prove that SSINMB, so we editted the picture. I feel that now, it is time to announce to the world, that we are two separate people, and to post the original un-edited picture.

While I didn't make it to any of the signing sessions myself, I am shocked to learn that the main character I play in NS, Prime Minister Felix Munchmeister of Ineptia, apparently did make it to your session--that is him way in the back, peeking through the bookshelf. Not sure why he didn't step forward to introduce himself, but he tends to be a bit shy about things like that.

Gotta love Neon now.

Pictures of several NS mods: Clickity Clickity Click Clicky (http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=3303581&uid=1234585)

The man directly behng Max is Karma. Karma is a teenager wit galsses that being all that we can tell form the pick.

I had been going to guess that the guy kneeling by Pope Hope was Hack, but as I know that it is PH there, I am going to guess Slaggy, him being her brother. In both pics he has a beard and glasses.

You guys have no idea how insanely jealous that I am of Berserker, being in a room with Max, three Mods, and the leader of one of NS's most powerful region. Now I know how Goober feels when I gloat to him about living in a progressive hotbed, land of change, and valley of books and authors (plus we invented Basketball and Volleyball but who cares about that), and one of the best aquifers in the world.
