5 | Artists | Hints so far: | Pup's name (given by the artist) | ||
6 | Atwood | - "All of my staff pets have something in common, including the one this year" (in signature) [pg. 102] - "Let's talk about that." [pg. 143] (A 'Good Mythical Morning' line) which led to their 'Assorted Characters' group, in which their Rhett and Link dogs (from GMM) are named 'Rhett says "F=6"' and 'Link says 'T=2632849"'. The numbers lead to this link http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2632849 , where the post is edited with, 'Looking for a clue? You might hear one through 4467' - "If it helps, I used the flop eared lines to make my dog. ;3" [pg. 356] - "1. Grapevine item 2. Confessions of a King 3. Birchii's post [http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3173043&start=1140#p101765664] 4. Yes, Virginia (no progress so far) 5. Still at the start (no progress so far)" -"All of my hints refer directly to at least one specific physical feature on my dog. My hints are not based on themes or locations. None of my hints other than the Killers song tie in to media of any sort, so no movie references, no song references, etc. The correct answers to all of my hints are in this thread already, posted by either me or others. Flop-eared lines =/= flop eared dog. The answer to 'Yes, Virginia' is closely related to one of the other hints." [pg. 626] - "there is absolutely nothing visible of the original floppy ears on my adult dog apart from a single hair tuft that's at a sliiiiiiiightly different angle than the point/perk-eared lines." [pg. 634] - "I used the flop-eared lines to make at least one stage of my dog, so if a pup hits adulthood without ever having those lines as a possibility, it can't be my pup." [pg. 678] Claimed! | Keli | ||
7 | Bentley | - "I've dropped so much, and then hinted that I've dropped so much so many times, I don't think I'll throw out any more tidbits until all of them are found or my outcome hits full-grown. They're not really hidden - I'll say it again: nothing useful for my outcome is in transparent text. It might help a little in the hint hunt, but nothing else." Which means we're missing a lot of stuff... - "I've seen two very good guesses for me, and I love the detective work (you guys are rock stars at this!), but you guys are basing everything on my ridiculously fluid style(s) and my love of pie... which leaves all of the clue crumblies all over the floor, what a mess. :c d" [pg. 638] - "A little something I've been collecting for about as long as I've been on CS...." with a link to a collection of pop tabs. [pg. 774] - "Not Pepsi. Can't drink that stuff, bleh. But you guys might be onto something." in response to the tabs being labeled as Rockstar, Monster, and Pepsi tabs. [pg. 776] Claimed! | Soláthraí | ||

19 | Metallic Dragon | - A user pointed out that the pups in their 'staff outcomes' group have one word names, of which are part of a scrambled message. There are seven sentences (corresponding with seven words ending with a "."); Metallic Dragon has given us the first word of five of the sentences (corresponds with the five pups with numbered items placed on them) [pg. 55 - 57]: Five confirmed sentences: "Riddle me this." and "Good luck, you'll need it." [pg. 398] "Everything is deliberate" [pg. 548] "A track came out one year in June. It didn’t inspire my outcome but has something in common with it." [pg. 599] When a user posted "Riddle me this. A track came out one year in June. It has something in common with my outcome but didn't inspire it. The year you seek is deliberate. Everything is not here, find it. You find me. Good luck, you'll need it.”, Metallic edited the post with "You're missing 2 words, but you've got at least one more correct sentence" - Metallic edited a user's comment ("something in common with a pet from June this year?" "Good luck, you'll need it"), indicating this was on the right track [pg. 125], and later clarified that "my riddle doesn't refer to anything cs related that happened in june" [pg. 391] - "the solution to the riddle will make my dog obvious" [pg. 127] - confirmed solution to riddle (placed in sig after it was unscrambled): “Riddle me this. A track came out one year in June. It has something in common with my outcome but didn't inspire it. The year you seek is not here, but you can find it. Everything is deliberate. Find me. Good luck, you'll need it.” riddle led to this pet: http://www.chickensmoothie.com/viewpet.php?id=203465564 who was on page 19 in their group and had an "8" on their body with a "2" birthday hat. These numbers combine to form the year 1982; the final confirmed hint track was Eye of the Tiger - 'Tiny Hat Squad' (transparent in signature) May not be a hint; may refer to older staff pet which has a hat [pg. 132] Claimed! | N/A | ||
