[CS] Win a house?! Guess the avatars!

Day 2,738, 05:32 • Published in Netherlands Netherlands • by Mattio

I want to give a tiny huge thank you to Jordic (take a look at his profile page, it’s very cosy in there) for providing me this awesome new logo and header for my new newspaper Common Sense. I abandoned the name Nederlands Nieuws to be more internationally focused.

I’m going to give away 2 houses here, so maybe you guys could give me 25 comments and a bunch of subs in return? 😛 To give you something to comment about, pick your desired house in my housing brochure. Yes, that’s an actual tumblr… It even has a book!

Now quit the chits: let’s get to business, there’s something at stake here! Two persons will soon win a Q1 house with incredibly ugly couches and no curtains (but hey!) and you could be one of them!
Please read the instructions below carefully though, or you might completely fail! 😉



As you can see, I selected 15 avatars that all depict a person. Your job is to guess who are on those avatars! Get the highest score and you win a Q1 house (easy as that). There are just a few basic rules:

RULE 0: After receiving 2 PM's with player names already... I am looking for the real life, existing people who are on the avatar, not the names of the players who use their portrait! 😛

1. Every eRep player is allowed to participate. You don’t have to know the players to guess their avatar. So go ahead and share this competition with your friends (read rule 6 to know why).
2. To participate, send me a PM with your answers ranked like: 1. John Doe; 2. Jenny Doe; 3. etc.
3. Your score will be calculated like this: (right answers)/(possible answers)😞score). If your avatar is in the list, your (possible answers) will be 14 (or less, see below).
4. Some avatars are quite hard, others are incredibly easy. To make things fair, you have to give the person’s official and full, real life name in his or her own language. Basically just give me a name that is as complete as you can get it. I won’t be too precise and only in case of a draw I will take the “completeness” into account. If there is an actor in the avatar, give me the actor’s name, not the role he is playing.
5. The highest scoring player receives a Q1 house and will be mentioned in a following article.
6. Don’t know many avatars? The second house is raffled to one of the people shouting this article! (Short link: http://tinyurl.com/GimmeThatHouse) After shouting, please comment “Shouted” (or be more creative) in case I oversee your shout. 😉
7. If absolutely no one, not even the avatar’s owner, knows who is in the picture, the avatar will not be part of the game (thus making the amount of possible answers lower).


That’s all you gotta know. Now go forth on your desperate quest over the Googletron, gimme those names and maybe you’ll win one of those two hidious but oh, oh my lawd they’re so cosy... houses!

Good luck, I salute,

Some background to those who like reading:

This game was inspired by ElGorro’s “Who am I?” articles and also by something my fellow party member Djirtsdew said in a comment:

Translation: ‘No, not a guarantee. But I expect Magnus Carlsen to easily beat you at chess, based solely on his past results. I don’t even know yours. (Yes, with my avatar, I’m obligated to talk about chess…)’

For your information, this ridiculously weird looking, half-way-chewing-a-popcorn-then-find-a-hard-piece guy is Magnus Carlsen:



So: who is that in Djirtsdew’s avatar?!
