Good one.
Ah, interesting, so the war he fought in was the Texas Revolution, not the Civil War.
I'll set up the next game soon.

The leader of the RMT union, as most Brits will know as he's almost constantly in the news over here, is Mick Lynch. A bit more obscure for none Brits, but someone engaging in a bit of curiosity would have found themselves face to face with the word Lynch. Much like someone who searched for the etymology of gobbledygook (which I thought might have been unusual enough to attract some attention) would find themselves face to face with the word Maverick.Right, I have to disappear and read the latest dross from the leader of the RMT union, so won't be about for a while. There will be no further clues past this point
I remember reading that post, took it as a true "real-life" thing and not a clue - I did wonder what the RMT was at the time (not a Brit) but didn't pursue it. I don't remember reading about gobbledygook in any of the posts - I wasn't as involved in this game as others in the past, that's what I get.Octavious wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 2:51 pmNah, that was just mentioned as a hanging has become closely associated with lynching, and I thought it might get you thinking along the right lines.
Another of the Lynch clues was in post 214 when I said

I was almost totally convinced, when JECE used gobbledygook in his post to me, that he was signalling that he had done exactly that
What was it about Edward Murphy, who coined "Murphy's Law", that prompted you to say "Ha!" when asked if he was known for involvement in philosophy or religion?
I assume it's because lay people might view it as a philosophical concept.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 1:28 am@Octavious:
Can you please explain why you answered as follows:

Give it a rest, mate. You didn't like the style or format. We get it. It is the Star Trek musical episode debate played out in 20 questions form. It's been, it's gone, the game's moved on, and JECE (as ever) has it pretty much right.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 1:28 amWhat was it about Edward Murphy, who coined "Murphy's Law", that prompted you to say "Ha!" when asked if he was known for involvement in philosophy or religion?
