Another Guessing Game

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

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.

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?

: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.

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

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

Nyeh...fine. :p

Yes, 'tis a former British colony...

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

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

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??

lol....australia?

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.

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.

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

"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...
