But which one?! You can have fun guessing...

UPDATE:

Poll over! The answer is Man Four. Yeah. The hobbit one. I don't think I'd have been so perturbed by this labelling if it hadn't been remarked to me by three separate people...

You mean from our perspective, or the models' perspective?

From our perspective. Left of the photo to the right.

The middle one! Edit: Which means the perspective doesn't matter...:(

From your own self-descriptions during NStM... I'm guessing the fourth one.

If I said the one on the Far Right, I'd get banned, right?

He's the dude behind the camera!

*prepares for DEAT*

Am I the only one who came into the thread looking for someone peeking out from behind a hippo? :cool:

:p That's what I thought.

I'd say fourth guy along.

If I said the one on the Far Right, I'd get banned, right?

haha...i was going to say it too...

The extensive research has revealed that Sirocco is indeed the first from the left.

There's a remote chance that he's the middle man... boy.

Mwahaha!

The knowledge! I know who all of them are, all of them but 1 are NSers (some of which are now inactive).

i'd say the guy on the far left, although thats a complete guess

Well, the kid on the far left looks like Harry Potter with a jaw, the kid in the middle looks like Harry Potter in a kilt, and the kid on the far right looks a little like Ron Weasley. The center-right kid looks like a younger Frodo Baggins ... and I don't know who the center-left kid looks like.

So the real question is; is Sirocco secretly the Boy Who Lived, or is he secretly the Ringbearer? And should we be worried about this?

Are we supposed to assess political leanings or the photo. Either way, I guess far left.

Kidding, I have no idea what your political leanings are

So what do we get if we get it right? One get out DEAT free card?

Ssssssssshhh, I'll give you a hint...

(you're wrong)

Ssssssssshhh, I'll give you a hint...

(you're wrong)

Wrong about his political leanings? I actually suspected as much. Most people are much more centrist despite the rantings of a few people who enjoy hyperbole.

If you're talking about the picture, then my second guess would be the middle picture. I picture Sirrocco as one of the more confident people in the picture.

I was talking about the position of him in the picture. :p

And I'm afraid I can give no more clues. Or else Siroc will kill me.

*disappears in a puff of smoke*

Middle.

Yeah, I'm going with middle then too.

Are you going to tell us anyway, oh great Sirocco hippo man? *Worships*

There's no hippo in the picture so there's noone behind a hippo to guess. This leads us to the conclusion that Sirocco doesn't exist.

You're the one in the bow tie.

Either that, or I assume Hippo is the brand name of the camera you are using to take this picture.

man four, it just has to be,, i fon't know why but it does

I'll give the answer when I feel like it. Mwahaha.

Dirty little tease... :p

Far left.

He's the kid at the left end of the image.

My answer is based on evidence (http://www.ziff.net/404/404.htm). :D (http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=37)

Answer: He is not in the pitcure and is laughing at you for thinking that.

The One in the Middle...is Bestiville(Determined Cows) I think, and the fourth one is his mate Sirocco. I think. Either that or Siroc is the horribly ugly, deformed sixth one - past the one on the far right - that you can't see because he's scared of providing photo-evidence of his horrible half-brute looks.
We know the truth Sirocco!

I'm screwed. I'm in Sirocco's region, and he's gonna have Dregruk beat and string me up, line up a firing squad and have me shot. What a bad way to go.

He's gotta be the blonde one...


He looks most like a hippo....







*flees*

I know, but I ain't tellin'.

:p

It might be only me, but has Kat a avatar of approximately 1,432,324 by 1,533,643 pixels, which doesn't even load?:confused:

I've got it at 76x80, and perfectly visible. A head with cat ears.

And it is quite cute, I must say.

Mmmm...catgirl...

I'm intruiged by this strange guesing game. I'd say bloke #4.

There's another winged purple hippo out there! :eek:

Heheh, no, I'm not in the picture. I guess Docere looks *a bit* like me though.

It's fun trailing people along, ain't it Kat :D

Okay, so now we know it's not the guy in the middle. And then there were three.

I could just be lying though, to lead you to the wrong conclusion.

Or am I?

I think you are an honest and forthright person. Now, you can betray that trust if you like, but I prefer to be a trusting sort of fellow. Thanks for the hints.

Fine. I'll go with second from the right. And now we know most of us were wrong in the poll.

You're welcome. And you're right, I am an honest person.

Yeah... It took me 4 guesses. But I was better then Hack, who got it on the fifth :D

I'm on guess number three, so I would have done better to simply draw out of a hat, more than likely.

I once made a bet with a girl that I couldn't pick out her sister amoung a group of 12 girls. They gave me two guesses. If I got it, I got a 100% tip on their bill (I was their waiter). If not, I had to do a dance routine that they choreographed on the bar of the TGI Friday's I was working at. I'll tell you if they would have given me twelve guesses I would have guessed some girl twice before her actual sister. So I lost and did the dance in front of a restaurant full of dance groups down for the state dance competition, but I got the 100% tip anyway.

The truth is out there. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10882913&postcount=28) *cough*clickthesmilie*cough*

But the lies are inside your head. :D

It's still enormous.

Help me:eek:

I know, and I feel smug in the knowledge.

My source? The fact that I was around when the photo was taken :)

If it's enormous, it's something funky with your browser.

But perhaps Siroc was wearing a DTAS LAND mask for the photo taking...

Sorry. I'll stop now <_<

Yeah, but it' only your avatar and another forum that look like that. Everything else is normal and I didn't change anything:confused:

edit: and it's back to normal again, weird

I don't know why, but I love all of the mods.

Perhaps it's the fact you all retian a very quirky sense of humor, despite the fact you do repetitive jobs, deal with bitching people, and get flamed the most. And all of this you do for free. Hell, I'd get fed up and go psycho hitting the big red magical DEAT button left and right. Least I'm assuming it's big, red, and magical.

Ah, I never said how much you guys (and gals(and meglomaniacal omnipotent god like beings)) mean to me.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with RATM.

I don't know about anti-establishment and whatnot, I use Firefox because it doesn't have as many security loopholes as IE.

On topic: Are we ever going to find out the true identity of the purple hippo? I suspect not.

You may have to zoom in on the image with FireFox (right click, say View Image and click on image), IE7 or Opera (zoom in on page) to see it, though.

Spam in the moderation forum??? :eek:

Thanks for the info. My settings were messed up while posting.

Fixed.

And the answer is... Man Four.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was right!

Damn, I guessed correctly.:)

I'll go with.. Man four.

What? You've already announced that? Pfft. No fun.

Got it in 3. Hehe. I'm luckier than Erastide and Hack. Losers.

W00t. I was right on the first guess.

I beat Jocabia! ;)

hahaha, i win the thread (except for all those who got it before me ;) )

Still, even with the answer given this thread lacks a hippo.

I call false advertising on #4 and demand a hippopotamus in compensation for this terrible bait and switch scam.

That would've been my second guess. :(

I was quite impressed that 24% got it right actually.

From left to right: Ben (not yet in NS), DTAS LAND, Docere, Sirocco, Andrewmania

I like it how not only was number 1, as the most common answer, wrong, it was the only person who isn't on NS.

Oh, but I am now ...

Since I got the most votes, do I win something?

:D

Sure! You get the rare and coveted Cat-In-A-Toilet:

That looks rather like one of our cats. Not that we put it in the toilet.

I'd just like to add that when Max Barry himself was challenged to guess which one was me, he was rock solid certain that number 1 was me, then he guessed it was number 5.

He only got it right on the third go when one of the mods said "think hobbits..." http://forum.blueharvest.net/html/emoticons/deadpan.gif

True. And I only got it right on the first guess because I worked on NationStates: The Musical. Otherwise I probably would have been dead sure it was #3 or #1. :p
