2198 Contest

Hi Greg,

It's been a long time since I posted a question here, and I can see that I'm late for the current game, but better late than never, eh?

17. defeated
67. repopulate
68. 2138
127. operating

Hopefully more to come later. I've got some questions/thoughts on your 2198 outline, but I'll hold off until the contest ends. Thanks for posting the outline! I've enjoyed piecing it together.

Regards,
Blair

"It would probably help if some fan did what Vashkoda did for the clan contest and set up a website that fills in the blanks. I think that would help get this horrible monster of a contest I created over with more quickly. So, please, somebody... "

Ask and you shall receive. I've been keeping a running tab, a quick html conversion gives us:
http://bobcat.bradley.edu/~rkremer/garg/
Not fancy by any means but it gets the job done.

But how come I never heard that someone had a clan contest website? And what about this?
"(It was described as a cobra's tail in Vashkoda's prize...)"
I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering now, what's the URL where we can see this?

(Robin, thanks for the vote of confidence, but it's still too early for congratulations.)

Greg,

Earlier I promised to stay logical and not resort to random trial and error guessing. But after thinking about it a little more, I have a question.

I have made the assumption that the answers can be reached logically, but is that really the case? In the clans contest, Korea was (as far as we're concerned) completely out of the blue. Are any of these answers "not hinted at"?

Specifially I'm thinking of the Maza descendent in paragraph 233-253. Is he named after someone (either in-universe or out) or is it just a name you picked out of the air.

Also the robots' designations in paragraph 306-339. Do they have any significance, or are they random numbers?

(P.S. You've already given us plenty of hints, so feel free to reply with "Not saying." I'm just hoping to prevent tons of random mindless guessing, if possible.)

Thanks
