Apologies, all, for my absence yesterday. Apparently, the news server
I’m using had trouble. (Had this happened any time except during UJ,
there would have been no problem, provided the interruption was no more
than a day or two. So of COURSE it would be during UJ.) Unfortunately,
this trouble forced all posts made before it to expire, thus I had to
look them up and then recreate the thread to continue from.
Which is why my replies to your answers are all lumped together.
To Paulon: Correct! Although getting the stuff in the first place is a
trial in and of itself, is it not?
Lord Vashnu: Also correct. The low point questions are seldom very
hard, are they?
Ophidian: To my knowledge, it’s always been Geoffrey. And yes, I was
using the canonical Virtue Order maintained since Ultima IV.
Furthermore, you struck gold. It almost seems a waste to have a Daily
Double on the first set of questions on the grid, but if I argued with
the random number generation, I’d be opposing its randomness. 400
points, ‘Phid! You just tied with…
Helgraf! Hope you don’t mind the competition ‘Phid presents. You, of
course, remain on par by virtue of also being correct, else ‘Phid would
have overtaken you.
Cape Dweller, you are also right, although the amount of possible right
answers here is quite diverse - Order Serpent, Ice Serpent, Ice Serpent
of Order - all refer to the same entity. Not to mention that either Who
or What would apply in forming the question.
And we’re back to Lord Vashnu, who may be a total moron by his own
admission, but leaves that clue unanswered nonetheless. As such, it will
be reposted. Respondents may copy him if you believe him to be correct,
yet take the risk that he is not - such is always the case with copying
your answers. On an unrelated note, Cape Dweller brings up a valid
point, considering the man’s crystal ball.
Alright! That takes care of point assignments for the 200s. Most of them
anyway. Expect the 400s momentarily.

P.S. Oddly, on refreshing, some of the posts I just saw in the archive
have found their way here. However, this is already composed. *sends*
