2017 Challenge Hint

[Janice, Moderator]

I have changed my avatar. It's a clue for the 2017 challenge.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Oh, I know! But I don't know if I can say something or better no...

[Janice, Moderator]

You're welcome to guess.

[Elsbeth]

Something with mythical creatures? Or Zodiac signs?

[Kristie, Moderator]

I was thinking zodiac too. Or maybe astrology.

[Janice, Moderator]

That would be a pretty obvious clue. Hehehehe!

[Lisa]

I'm thinking mythological creatures.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Constellations?

[Kristie, Moderator]

Why can't you be obvious?! lol

Let's see... constellations...stars...outer space?? Seems too narrow. I don't know. lol

[Annerlee]

genetic engineering (lol)??

[Tasha]

haha! good one, annerlee! :)

Where's the fun in that? LOL! Maybe I'm just fishing for ideas.

Annerlee wrote: "genetic engineering (lol)??"

LOL! I like that idea.

[Almeta]

The Island of Dr. Moreau .

Titles by H.G. Wells?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Narnia?

Eh, outer space narrow? Have you any idea how big that is? Well, neither do I... ;-)

[Peggy]

I was hoping for a hint coming soon!

I think the zodiac signs makes sense. It fits the avatar and I can see possibilities to make a big challenge that fits everyone. But maybe it's too obvious indeed ;-)

Is 'fishing' another clue?

[KimeyDiann]

My first thought was zodiac too. It may be a little obvious, but there are so many things that you could do with that!

[KimeyDiann]

Plus that reminds me, I haven't updated my 2016 challenge spreadsheet in quite some time. I may have finally finished it and didn't even realize! LOL.

Come to think of it, it could be. It would be a very obscure clue. Hmmmm..... Pisces is a fish isn't it?

[Peggy]

I read the first part of your comment and thought 'fishing - fish - pisces' but then you came to that conclusion and now I'm confused. Are you practicing reversed psychology on us Janice?

I wanted to post an image of Pisces under my fishing comment, but the image code wouldn't work today for some reason. I gave up (explains the obscurity maybe...?)

[Janice, Moderator]

Some people like to fish, don't they?

[Janice, Moderator]

Oh, I just thought of something else... people like to eat fish too.

[Almeta]

Yeah but...I don't eat Centaurs! You trying to mis-direct us?☻

[Sandra, Moderator]

Sea-Centaurs?

[Tammy]

You ladies are fun thinkers

Almeta wrote: "Yeah but...I don't eat Centaurs! You trying to mis-direct us?☻"

Granted, it wouldn't be the favourite meat of choice for most people, but then, maybe it doesn't need to be. Maybe you could do target practice with a centaur if that's your thing.

Misdirect, deflect, and twist 'em all up so they don't know what to think! That's my new motto. Hahahaha!

Hunting and Fishing, huh? Outdoor sport?

lol! The motto may be new, but "Meanie" hasn't changed! ;-P

[Annerlee]

Soo... how long do you toy with us Janice? When is the grand announcement? Do we really have to wait until December?

[Sandra, Moderator]

Usually the announcement is made in the first days of December, Annerlee. :)

That's not sooo bad then... ; )

[Peggy]

It's a month and a half still!

Funny how that seems so long to wait for the challenge, but is so short when I think in terms of work..

December will be here before we all know it :) I can't believe we are in the second half of October already!

[Tasha]

true!! It is going fast!

Shush you, and your timekeeping ways.

I'm going to give you some homework to do towards the end of November. It could be considered a major tip-off to what the challenge will be, if it doesn't give it away entirely. I'll give you a week to do the homework, and then I'll post the challenge.

In the meantime, have fun. *evil laugh* (every meanie has to have an evil laugh, right?

Homework! You're making us very curious Janice!

I think this is the only time I have looked forward to being given homework!

Well, you know. Just thought everyone could use a reminder ;)

[Ariane]

Homework! Yes!

And very, very wicked... :)

[Sarah]

I like hints. And making wild guesses. Less like homework though. I have plenty of that at the moment. going off the avatar change, i was thinking about signs generally, not just zodiac.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh! That's an interesting thought, Sarah. You could do a lot with signs.

zodiac does feel a bit obvious...
