before i go on i have to say this: i have no responsibility if you can't handle the truth when and IF it is revealed... remember i didn't start this, i just went on with it... and i haven't lied, so if the truth is different that you expect (and the mind can play real tricks you know) then i'm just real good at what i did, which was NOT my initial intention, not until after this started to become a game... so i'd like to know that there will be no hard feelings from anyone IF the truth turns out to be harsh!
Belinda, what do you mean about me being a "player"? you say you've seen this in other forums, so if you're talking about ppl pretending to be who they're not in order to make fun then i am certainly NOT among them... like i said above, this was not started by me and i most definately have not lied
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

I'm really intrigued now Aya.
My own initial thoughts were the Netherlands - but now I think Poland?
Actually Belinda - you've got another thread coming here -
where are we from - guesses only! No peeking at profiles.
I think this thread of yours actually STARTED a romance!

no no, remember i'm in the Eurozone... the countries are stated above by Michal (didn't actually read them all but i guess they're right! : )
Actually Belinda - you've got another thread coming here -

that would be a gread thread but there would be too much cheating, unless every participant removes the location from his/her profile... another drawback is that lots of ppl know each other by now, where the live etc, so it wouldn't be fair if they participated... it should be done using clues, smth like in Carmen Sandiego where you got clues about the country carmen's henchman went!
I think this thread of yours actually STARTED a romance!
(time for me to run for cover........ )
if i'm a girl then that's great for Michal (and me maybe! )... what if i'm a boy?

No, I don't just think so. I know it. You are Greek and your first name is Panayotis.
And, somewhat to my surprise, you are a guy! Your name gave you away, and so did the disclaimer
I must congratulate you into misleading me (and just about everyone else I believe!) into thinking that you're a girl. Then again, maybe you didn't have to work too hard for it At any rate, well done!
So, did I get any of the above wrong? I doubt it but I've been wrong once already

too many details to have found out yourself... you asked someone didn't you? are you sure he/she's telling the truth? are you sure that particular user_id does not fall into the "How many members here are..."-thread category? if i'm so good at deception, what makes you think i wouldn't go all the way?

if you've been wrong previously then probably you're right now cause there can only be two sides to the story (at least since you ruled out the AI theory)... but since you got everything else right the 1st time (age and stuff) why have you lost your 98% confidence of being right about the other things too?! this of course would make you wrong this time, so either way i win!

Nope. I didn't ask anyone, that's why I'm pretty certain of it. I didn't cheat in any way. Anyone could have found out. Remember, I'm not entirely stupid, even though I managed to make a fool of myself (with generous help from you)
I could have figured all that out (should have!) right at the beginning. Especially the fact that you're in Greece is so obvious that I noticed it before but somehow didn't draw the right conclusion.
Then again, if I had figured it out right away, this wouldn't have been nearly as much fun, don't you agree?
if i'm so good at deception, what makes you think i wouldn't go all the way?
Because you had no reason to deceive.
but since you got everything else right the 1st time (age and stuff) why have you lost your 98% confidence of being right about the other things too?!
The only thing I was ever really uncertain of was your sex. Once my initial guess was wrong, you did your best to mislead me and my mind did the rest
And anyway, Friday 13th is as good day to be wrong as any
this of course would make you wrong this time, so either way i win!
You can't win if you don't say what the truth is. Game over, Panayotis

that's not 100% sure yet!

it is? how's that? i am possitive i never mentioned my country anywhere... i only mentioned the Euros... that's why someone told you... but read towards the end about that
Then again, if I had figured it out right away, this wouldn't have been nearly as much fun, don't you agree?
definately
Because you had no reason to deceive.
true... but then again........
The only thing I was ever really uncertain of was your sex. Once my initial guess was wrong, you did your best to mislead me and my mind did the rest
so if i am a guy after all there are indeed lots of theories and men-do-this/women-do-that's that crumbled to dust right? and it's the reason i was stressing out i'm 100% straight (no matter the gender), so that there can be no "yes you're a guy but you're gay so it's normal to do/say that" or "you're a girl but this does not add up cause maybe you're a tomboy"
And anyway, Friday 13th is as good day to be wrong as any
of course it could be the only day you were right!!! and don't forget... the very first post that started all this was actually written by Friday_the_14th
You can't win if you don't say what the truth is. Game over, Panayotis
[inserting credit to continue] and here's why i say you asked... you're Czech and live in America... you could have NEVER guess THIS name (since this name cannot be found in any other language) and i have never say my name anywhere... so you asked... and you got a response that could be true, but could also have been agreed by two different ppl or one person playing two roles!

No one told me, honest. Hint: anyone who thoroughly examines your avatar can determine that you are with a high degree of likelihood located in Greece.
so if i am a guy after all there are indeed lots of theories and men-do-this/women-do-that's that crumbled to dust right?
Well, they were just theories, weren't they? It is expected that some theories will be proven wrong
[inserting credit to continue] and here's why i say you asked... you're Czech and live in America... you could have NEVER guess THIS name (since this name cannot be found in any other language) and i have never say my name anywhere...
Aha, so your name really is Panayotis You are right, it is a typically Greek name and I could never have guessed it. You are also correct that you never said it.
so you asked...
But this is where you are wrong my friend I didn't ask anyone (and no one told me without asking just to forestall the next question). I figured it out entirely on my own. But I think it's now my turn to be mysterious So I'm not telling you how I found out until you clearly state whether you are a Greek guy called Panayotis or not.

EXCELLENT... EXCELLENT indeed... you never seize to amaze me - you are indeed a fantastic adventurer!!! of course someone else (a friend) could very likely have given me some space to host my avatar (and maybe a few others, like i do with gamer's)
Well, they were just theories, weren't they? It is expected that some theories will be proven wrong
so if i'm a guy i don't risk vanishing in a puff of logic after all?!

the fact i know the name doesn't make me greek... i also know Dietmar... am i german too... and i could name others but nothing comes to mind right now

Yes, your avatar could be on someone else's site, although it is more likely that it's your account. But your offer to open the Avatar Hotel was pretty much a dead giveaway that it is really your site.

Not any more. You can admit it now
the fact i know the name doesn't make me greek...
No, but you don't just know that name. It is your name.
i know more than you think you know! you can't boogie with the boogeyman
Yes, you obviously know more about yourself than I do. You better have
But you have sidestepped the question: Are you a Greek guy called Panayotis? If any of those three bits is wrong, you are free to say no. If it is all correct however, I would be very much obliged if you said yes.
Then I'll tell you how I figured it out

i didn't mean i know more about me... i meant i know more than you think, meaning i know how you figured it out... and it was fantastic research indeed! d@mn my love for Sierra but since you're not greek you can't possibly know if this name is male, female or even a last name or a nick name!
ok this is nearly at its end i guess (and i'm sure a few ppl that were intrigued at first might have started being bored) but i have to do some work now so i'll come back later tonight with an epilogue (and yes i'll tell you my gender and maybe post a photo too!!!)... i saw during our game that you, rael, sennebec and medicro (the last two being women) were absolutely sure i am a woman... so i'd like to know if others did think that too or thought i am a man and (most importantly) based on what? my id? my avatar? my words in this or other threads?

Remember Occam's Razor It doesn't work for determining your sex (because it's more or less 50:50 whether you're male or female) but it works remarkably well for just about anything else...
i didn't mean i know more about me... i meant i know more than you think, meaning i know how you figured it out... and it was fantastic research indeed! d@mn my love for Sierra
D@mn your friend Alkis Polyrakis you mean. He gave you away And it's not really hard to find out how I figured it out
but since you're not greek you can't possibly know if this name is male, female or even a last name or a nick name!
Wrong again. Remember, I'm good at research. Yesterday morning I didn't even know the name Panayotis existed. Now I know that it is a Greek male given name - I don't know if it's a "typical" Greek name but it's certainly not unusual.
i saw during our game that you, rael, sennebec and medicro (the last two being women) were absolutely sure i am a woman...
I was never absolutely sure and I only became more certain after you started deliberately misleading me (you were good at that). Shame on me that I let you I must say.
I should have noticed that your love of soccer and the occasional use of strong language are not very much in touch with your "feminine side"

ummm - I'm not Greek - and I know that Panayotis is chaps name.
So not being Greek doesn't preclude one from knowing this.

aah - but how do you know I AM a woman??
(oh - I forgot - I posted a piccie. Sily me )
Anyway - I'm REALLY surprised Aya - I have thought of you as female since I first read your posts.
I think it's a combination of your Avatar, the female gender symbol which predispose my assumptions -
and your posts would seem to be in touch with your feminine side etc....
I'm pretty sure Dimi3 is NOT a girl!!
