Another Guessing Game

[RobinHood3000]

I've decided that I'm tired of keeping everything under wraps - it requires too much effort, and prevents me from celebrating some of the things I most want to share with my friends here.

I've come to a decision - that I'm old enough now that I can take care of myself, and that no one would be crazy enough to stalk me (not with you all to back me up, anyhow). So...after a few rounds of guessing, a la the Robin's Age thread...I'm willing to reveal my country of origin.

...what? I know, it's not exactly putting my name and number on the line, here, but considering how long I've spent trying to prevent people from guessing what hemisphere I'm in, it's a big deal for me. :nod: Any takers?

[kathycf]

Robin...You are too much. I think you are one of my fellow countrymen, but to give your evasiveness credit I only just started thinking this. :D

[ktd222]

lets reduce the world a little. Are you in the north of the equator?

[bluevictim]

I guess Elbonia

[B-Mental]

The island nation of madagascar?

[cuppajoe_9]

A bit of snooping through your recent posting history turned this up:
Why is the moon that color?That word has a 'u' in it everywhere but the United States of America, mon ami.

[Yelena]

Good job cuppajoe 9!!!! LOL

[Miss Darcy]

That word has a 'u' in it everywhere but the United States of America, mon ami.

Good Sherlocking, cuppajoe...but then of course Robin might have done that purposefully...

Just to fool us. :p

[higley]

Tricky tricky...

US perhaps, or maybe an owned territory?

And I just noticed, Robin's one post away from achieving 6,666!

[Petrarch's Love]

Obviously Sir Robin hails from Freedonia.

I'm willing to reveal my country of origin.

Isn't this a bit slippery though. Knowing your country of origin doesn't mean we actually know where you are now. Ah well, we'll take what we can get. :lol:

[Nightshade]

welll lets see you said once there is a reason you ccan speak spanish, you also once a comment about proms that means you have got to have spent a signifcant amount of time states side, because who else in all the world makes uch a fuss over parties?

Also there is the increible knowledge of american comics, which arent that easy to come by in anyt of the places Ive lived, although I suppose a true enthuisas wouldnt mid forking ou masses.

Also the cartoons thread might help as we know his ages and the things he watched.

All in all I think you are from 'The Western World' most likly the states or somewhere where there is alot of spanish spoken but you may not actually live there...might explain not seeing your girlfriend in person for ages.

So I guess your an expat with links to the states (either your from there or you go to one of the many many 'American schools' dotted around the world).

[Miss Darcy]

you also once a comment about proms that means you have got to have spent a signifcant amount of time states side

I didn't know they called it "proms" in the States...I thought that was just British (here in Australia the terminology is "formals")...but it seems I'm wrong. I don't really know much about American customs, anyway. Though I do know they like to spell "colour" without the beautiful, wonderful U... :D

[Nightshade]

:lol:No not the last night of proms, type of prom.

prom as in dances they have in highschool:D
like I said its a mostly american thing.

[RobinHood3000]

That word has a 'u' in it everywhere but the United States of America, mon ami.Aye, true enough...but keep snooping. (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/search.php?searchid=274235) :cool: Of course, it is true that I have more posts without the 'u' than with it (16 to 6)...but then, there are so many reasons why that could be. :brow:

[SleepyWitch]

Canada? that's an English-speaking country, isn't it? ;)
Puerto Rico?
some squiggly little island?
Hong Kong???? Singapore??? they have English as a first language, don't they? but it doesn't explain the Spanish... (I'm still obsessed with the idea that Robin is Chinese)
a south-western US state where there are lots of Spanish speakers?

[Nightshade]

eerem Im english and I spell it either way in fact somntimes I just leave out the second o altogether:p but the inconsistancey in the spelling does lend to the in an american school idea, I was in one and the grammer book was english, the comprehension was american and I think the handwriting books were Australian.... so generally people were left confused :D

[Pendragon]

Is you from Tex-as, hombre? :D

[Laindessiel]

A bit of snooping through your recent posting history turned this up:That word has a 'u' in it everywhere but the United States of America, mon ami.

True, Cuppa. But if you might want to check out his story, The Vigilante's Gambit, and you'll be surprised to see a lot of "u" and the replacement of "s" in the words where it's supposed to have a "z" in it. (I don't think he intended that one. But I may be wrong.) And I've also encountered "realise" and "colour" in his posts, can't remember where.

He's just a sly and a sneak. Haaay, Robin...:p

I previously thought of him as a European. Maybe an American now.:D

[Nightshade]

umm landi the word are supposed to have s in them its only the americans who spell things like realise with a z.


what we need is a audio of him sing the abc's then we'd figure it out not time.

[Laindessiel]

Really? We spell "realize" with a "Z".

I didn't know that. :crash:

[Nightshade]

well actually I tell a lie the american spellings tend to be more phonetically correct and easier to spell so are adopted by alot of not ex-british colony countries as well as quite a few of them.

[Poetess]

Somewhere on Earth.
This is where special people are :idea:

[RobinHood3000]

Be nice, Poetess - we have aliens here, dontcha know? :p

I must say, this is getting rather interesting...

[Yelena]

:blush: Robin, why dont you give a lil tiny hint?

[RobinHood3000]

Awww, it's only Day Two of the game...maybe after the first week, my pretties...

[Lily Adams]

This has already reached two pages in a day? :lol: Popularity...

[Yelena]

Hm...it's getting intriguing........i think nobody mentioned new zealand...that b my guess today

[kathycf]

Robin....you aren't that weird scary guy next door to me that has pet cockroaches...are you???! :eek2:

:p

[SleepyWitch]

Gibraltar...

[Nightshade]

oh...of course... that would make sense:nod:
And it does have an american presnce... although still not explaining the prom thinggy. unless hey have an american school??

[Poetess]

Be nice, Poetess - we have aliens here, dontcha know? :p

I must say, this is getting rather interesting...


:( OMG! Lainy and I must be very disappointed.. There are fairies too :blush:

[Pendragon]

Be nice, Poetess - we have aliens here, dontcha know? :p

I must say, this is getting rather interesting...
Aliens, hummm. Roswell must be pretty close. Spanish speaking. New Mexico!

[Nightshade]

Umm he might be talking about the martian sisters lain and tony though depending on what he means by here.
But that is another good one :nod:

[Poetess]

oh!! umm yea
maybe Robin is hinting about being near one of the Aliens?
Whom are Drama and Toni (no offence :D I just knew you get called aliens because you... whatever, have sth to do with that.. like them I guess :alien: )

So, I guess Robin lives either near to Drama or to Toni xD

[RobinHood3000]

Oh, dear, I'm sorry, I meant "here" as in "on Litnet"! :blush: My apologies, I did not mean to mislead...

[Pendragon]

Mon ami, you have been leading us a merry dance about your age, idenity, location and whatnot for a long time! :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

Aye, over a year, mate...methought it was time to reveal a big piece of the puzzle...besides, I rather liked all the attention from the age guessing thread. :cool: :p

[SleepyWitch]

Gibraltar????

[Nightshade]

Aye, over a year, mate...methought it was time to reveal a big piece of the puzzle...besides, I rather liked all the attention from the age guessing thread. :cool: :p

I know I know:idea:

sherwood???

:goof: :lol:

[Scheherazade]

besides, I rather liked all the attention from the age guessing thread. :cool: :pReally??? We could never guess!

You are doing a very good job of keeping it under control, Robin!

:p

[Yelena]

Are you from Scotland?

[RobinHood3000]

Keeping what under control? The throngs of people clamoring to know more about me? :p

[Basil]

Wait: are they clamoring or are they clamouring?

[Nightshade]

Wait: are they clamoring or are they clamouring?

do they mean differant things?:confused:

[Pensive]

Wait: are they clamoring or are they clamouring?

He follows American English. :p So he is from USA. But the problem is that now a days, many people from all over the world follow American English...

[RobinHood3000]

Heeheehee...mysteries are always more fun with lots and lots of complications...

[Nightshade]

ok this is useless as your not asking/answering question so Robin yes or no:

Do you live in an ex-british colony? Please note by ex I mean now has absloutly nothingto do with the britain so not a commonwealth country either.

[Virgil]

I've decided that I'm tired of keeping everything under wraps - it requires too much effort, and prevents me from celebrating some of the things I most want to share with my friends here.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: How can I put anymore eeks? I'm shocked. Wow. You'll have to feed us clues every once in a while Robin.

I say he's American living in Spain. I'm almost positive he's American.

[RobinHood3000]

Hmm, intriguing guesses all...what do you say after we hit page 7, I reveal?

[Nightshade]

hey we need to at least have yes and no answers or the game isnt worth playing Robin :mad:

[RobinHood3000]

Nyeh...fine. :p

Yes, 'tis a former British colony...

[kathycf]

*cough* Gee you have really narrowed things down with that clue, Robin...:p

I live in a former British colony myself....

[mir]

yay! :D I just discovered this thread, and now I'm all excited. I guess . . . wait, he's already given it away, it's Star City! :p

I'm going for . . . hmm . . . Australia.

Also, I didn't see the age thread. Did he ever give it away??

[Yelena]

lol....australia?

[mtpspur]

Someone please PM me when the reveal happens. This is like waiting for Return of the Jedi to debut--will I be alive in three years and will I still care?!! Obviously yes to both. Personally all that charm of his means he's from the south.

[Virgil]

yay! :D I just discovered this thread, and now I'm all excited. I guess . . . wait, he's already given it away, it's Star City! :p

I'm going for . . . hmm . . . Australia.

Also, I didn't see the age thread. Did he ever give it away??

Yes he's seventeen. Unless he's had a birthday since then. How often do those things come around, once or twice a year? :p

That is a good thread to read through. We had a lot of fun trying to guess.

[Virgil]

Here, this was the thread on guessing Robin's age:

http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15005

[RobinHood3000]

"Sun never sets on the British Empire," you know :cool:...

Actually, I'm eighteen - mir was kind enough to make my birthday thread. :blush:

Indeed, and I had a lot of fun reading the reasons for the guesses. Same applies here, it's kind of morbidly fascinating...

In the meantime do you live in the western hemisphere? As in west of Grenich meridian and east of the international date line, as defined by this picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Hemisferio_Oeste.png)?

[RobinHood3000]

Oh, p'shaw. If I tell you the hemisphere, that eliminates half the world, and that's no fun, either...

[Nightshade]

hey you agreed yes or no! :p,
Most of Us still reckon your from the US anyway but if you are well try and narrow it down further, otherwise we have a massive list to find so yes or no robin?

[SleepyWitch]

blah, this is getting boring. give us the first letter of the country's capital?

[RobinHood3000]

A.

:p :p :p

Mind you, though, I'm a tricky one...

[SleepyWitch]

so it's none of these?

Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire (administrative)
Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates
Abuja Nigeria
Accra Ghana
Adamstown Pitcairn Islands
Addis Ababa Ethiopia
Algiers Algeria

Amman Jordan
Amsterdam Netherlands (official)
Andorra la Vella Andorra
Ankara Turkey
Antananarivo Madagascar
Apia Samoa
Ashgabat Turkmenistan
Asmara Eritrea
Astana Kazakhstan
Asunción Paraguay
Athens Greece
Avarua

maybe it's the name of a historical capital or of a state within the country?

Ciudad de la Equivocacion? oops, nope doesn't start with an A :)

Buenos Aires without Buenos?

[mir]

haha, i don't know ANY of those, so I'm going for Apia, Samoa. (I like the name! :p)

[Miss Darcy]

*begins to feel secretly distressed about having revealed her location*


To pounce on SleepyWitch's thread, it isn't anything like San Marino or the Vatican City (just beginning with A :D), is it?

Or perhaps - goodness, what is the capital city of Antarctica, anyway? :p

Though didn't Robin say something about Spanish? (What about a Spanish base in Antarctica? :p)

Admittedly, I am very confused.
Which is, I think, exactly what Robin wants us to be. :D

[Nightshade]

yupp :nod: how is this for a question have you always lived in the same country, and is it you country of origin?

[Nightshade]

Former british colonies beging with A and we had better be talking country here not city or province...Aden
Aden (colony)
Antigua and Barbuda
Australia

Aden....yemmen you live in Yemmen? welll Im officiall shocked although can I just pont out I said youd beento an internnational/american school someweher non american:nod:

[RobinHood3000]

...should I go ahead and reveal...?

[SleepyWitch]

nope, who cares, Robin? We don't wanna know where you're from anyway :D

[RobinHood3000]

Your research says otherwise. :p

[kathycf]

...should I go ahead and reveal...?
Do it!!! :D

[mtpspur]

In my heart of hearts I pray you're not a military 'brat' as they term them. It would account for your knowledge of other countries/cultures that seem more then just garnered from reading. (My adversion to the 'brats' is because THEIR misconduct can and is taken out on the military sponsor. One young man decided North Dakota didn't need another tree, chopped it down and that poor sergeant got booted out of base housing--and no it wasn't me.

[Nightshade]

THat was the term I was looking for militry brat, course I was thinking Armed forces and brat doesnt really seem to go with that, but HA someone else who sees it same as me:nod:

George Washington wannabe...:sick: And no, I'm not a military brat...not even the son of a diplomat, really.

Just for kicks, I'm going to have to start a "Guess Robin's Gender" thread one of these days.

Not going to reveal yet, but here's a BIG clue:

There's a joke that goes like this -

"What's the capital of Ohio?"
"The 'O'."

[Nightshade]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA your a girl?! :eek2:
*drops dead*

[mtpspur]

Good joke on Ohio but I just live here in Ohio--really just a stuck up New Yorker at heart (Rochester by birth, nearby Spencerport considered the 'main' hometown that counts--Mom and Dad kept relocating ever 5-6 years and played havoc on my school years,

[Koa]

I can't take out of my head the idea that rob is a Brit anyway.... even though clues don't point that way...

second choice would be Australia.

Hmmm a South American-born Aussie?

South Africa?

Argentina?
(the clue was the capital starts with A. But then he said O is the capital of Ohio :lol: so the state must start with A)

[Idril]

One young man decided North Dakota didn't need another tree, chopped it down and that poor sergeant got booted out of base housing--and no it wasn't me.

Didn't need another tree?! :eek: We have so precious few, we don't need anyone cutting down one of the 10 in the entire state. :rolleyes: ;)

[kathycf]

A.

Ok, Robin. You say there is a reason you speak Spanish...What if the capitol was abbreviated EU? As in Los Estados Unidos????:idea:

Or maybe you are from the lost continent of Atlantis?! Is...is that the secret? Please tell! :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

Heeheehee, no, Nightshade, I'm a male, indeed, but wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if I'd been faking all this time?

Doo-deedoo...this is fun. :D

[Nightshade]

Well Im bored now with the guessing I give up...

[RobinHood3000]

Oh, p'shaw, that's no fun. :(

Fine, then - NOW should I reveal?

[Pensive]

Oh, p'shaw, that's no fun. :(

Yes, yes and yes!

Two more posts, then we'll be on page 7...~devious grin~

[kathycf]

Then we must get to page 7!

Are you sure you are not living under the sea in the lost continent of Atlantis? They seem to have all sorts of high powered technology in SG:Atlantis, which could explain how you are able to be online.

(if I can believe your assertion that the capitol begins with "A", you tricksy person you). ;)

[Koa]

why page 7? will you reveal then, or find a way to say that page 7 is no good? i'm curiooooouuuusss

see, there is only one post after yours robin, they all got bored, i'm only still trying because i arrived in the middle of the thread.

[RobinHood3000]

It certainly seems so. :(

All right - I said there was a reason why I spoke Spanish in my posts from time to time. The reason was to mislead you all.

The capital of the country in which I live is indeed "A" - capital letter, that is.

And if memory serves, it was not a mere ONE British colony, but thirteen...

[kathycf]

I knew you were one of my fellow countrymen! Um, just disregard everything I said in my last post about Atlantis. :lol:

[Laindessiel]

Nyeh...fine. :p

Yes, 'tis a former British colony...

I live in a former Spanish colony country. And lived with them for 350 years.

You a Yankee, Robbie?

Speaking of whom, where IS Lizzie...? I've begun to fear the worst again...

It seems that during my long absence I may have missed something. :p

[Miss Darcy]

And I always thought you were American, Robin. :D

[RobinHood3000]

Heeheehee, hello, Miss Darcy. How've you been? :)

[zanna]

Rob, a fellow yank! Although I can't claim true Yankee-ness, unless us West Coast Yanks count. And don't feel bad about not being able to play baseball . . . I was always picked last . . . can't throw, can't catch, can't hit, what else? Ooh, can't run too fast, either. I like to think it takes talent to be so incompetent. :D And is Spanish a second language, then?

[Miss Darcy]

Heeheehee, hello, Miss Darcy. How've you been?

I've been quite well, thank you, Archer - though enormously busy as usual. How've you been?

[RobinHood3000]

All right, mildly stressed, but nothing out of the ordinary. See my blog for more details. :p

[thevintagepiper]

Neat! I'd always been sure you were a charming Brit. Now you're a charming American. :p

[Nightshade]

All right, mildly stressed, but nothing out of the ordinary. See my blog for more details. :p
what theres nothing stressful there:confuese: and your not supposed to send people to your blog!

Hello, mir, good to see you!! Indeed...the previous page holds the answers you seek...

[Koa]

Yeah well it was obvious that the answer was the most boring one... Still, there are moments when I could have sworn he's a Brit. Oh well, no one is perfect ;)

[Lily Adams]

Are you implying that being an American is bad, Koa? :) (Don't take this too seriously, I'm just a rabid patriot, that's all...and yet I love the mother country as well, ha ha!)

You live in one of the original thirteen colonies? Lucky....I definately live on the wrong side of the coast.

This thread should be re-named "Mysterious Mysteries...about Robin." :lol:

Hmm, miss Lily...I thought "foul fetid excetera Philadelphia" was in Pennsylvania, which is one of the original 13. Did you move to the West Coast recently? (sorry, not trying to be nosy...)
Oh yes, the thread should be re-named...but then we run the risk of encouraging Robin. (joke!)

Unfortunately (for you ;)) I am a Brit-addict, so being Brit always adds some points to it. I especially definitely prefer the British accent over the American ones. :p

[mir]

mmm . . . *daydreaming about british accents*

hem! :p Sorry, i do see where Robin posted his place of residence. Must have missed the post. :blush:

Now we just need to know which colony, so i can go call him up if he's a Pittsburghian! :D

[RobinHood3000]

I especially definitely prefer the British accent over the American ones. :pAgreed. James Bond never seems to have trouble wooing the fair "maiden" (note the quotes) :brow:...

...Has anyone seen Love Actually or specifiaclly thise scene...

Colin: I have just worked out why I can never find true love.
Tony: Why's that?
Colin: English girls. They're stuck up, you see. And I am primarily attractive to girls who are... y'know, cooler. Game for a laugh. Like American girls. So I should just go to America. I'd get a girlfriend there instantly. What do you think?
Tony: I think it's... crap, Colin.
Colin: No, that's where you're wrong.
[smiling]
Colin: American girls would seriously dig me with my cute British accent.
Tony: You don't have a cute British accent
Colin: [excitedly] Yes I do! I'm going to America.
Tony: Colin, you're a lonely, ugly arsehole. You must accept it.
Colin: Never. I am Colin, god of sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all.

soory for the languge but I thought putting starts would make it seem even worse....

Hmm, miss Lily...I thought "foul fetid excetera Philadelphia" was in Pennsylvania, which is one of the original 13. Did you move to the West Coast recently? (sorry, not trying to be nosy...)
Oh yes, the thread should be re-named...but then we run the risk of encouraging Robin. (joke!)

Ahaha, yes. I like my locations to match my avatar/signature sets. I live in Southern California.

So which of the thirteen colonies...? You said you're a yankee, so I'm guessing New England.


Unfortunately (for you ) I am a Brit-addict, so being Brit always adds some points to it. I especially definitely prefer the British accent over the American ones.


...and yet I love the mother country as well, ha ha!...

[Laindessiel]

Aye, Lain - I'm a Yankee. Can't play baseball worth a lugnut, but I'm a Yankee...

Speaking of whom, where IS Lizzie...? I've begun to fear the worst again...

Yahee! Wahoo!

As for Lizzie, you have all the means of making contact with her. Surely you have her email address and phone number? (I mean if you are THAT close, which I'm sure you are.)

Rob, a fellow yank! Although I can't claim true Yankee-ness, unless us West Coast Yanks count. And don't feel bad about not being able to play baseball . . . I was always picked last . . . can't throw, can't catch, can't hit, what else? Ooh, can't run too fast, either. I like to think it takes talent to be so incompetent. :D And is Spanish a second language, then?

I don't understand the policies and rules of baseball. At all. Aaaat all.


Neat! I'd always been sure you were a charming Brit. Now you're a charming American. :p

I thought so too. First, I thought he was British. Then when he said he knew Zhang Ziyi, he became Chinese. Then an American, and then, because of his posting times, I thought he was somewhere from Europe. (He can't post for 3 hours starting 6am? I thought.) What made me think he's an Amerikano then? Well.... I'll keep it to moiself. *keeps Robin wondering again* :goof:


mmm . . . *daydreaming about british accents*


You were not alone. Were.

I can't believe I missed this all last month. Where was I? :confused:

So Robin is a fellow American. :banana: Yay. You should have picked an American super hero, say superman or batman or actually I can picture you as spiderman. ;)
