That is right, and perhaps now I can make that association in TNET. I
saw Paulon's post and knew this'd be a great association. Alas, I could
not use it, as it'd give away an answer.

Heh. Just the latest in the series of glitches with UJ6, I suppose.

Well, SOMEONE has to take it!

Pfft. Hardly devastating. And not nearly as volatile as the right answer.

I can never get passwords to work for some reason.

Correct, and that is what I meant. Locales, locations, sites... I'm sure
Mr. Roget, whoever he is, knows many more.

My notes say Khumash, but spelling is irrelevant unless it makes the
reply ambiguous. Which yours does not; there's nothing else it could be
mistaken for.

Welcome to the board!

Was that even mentioned as a rank??? The word itself doesn't even look
familiar.

Some guy who was mentioned four and a third hours earlier. Sorry.

Well, wasn't that an interesting round. Despite its delay. By claiming
the last remaining Daily Double, Ophidian surpasses Helgraf, who had
tenaciously held the lead through the first half (Ophidian managed to
pull even by virtue of Double Jeopardy's first Daily Double; he seems to
be very lucky). And it appears that, ultimately, two of the round's
questions have not been resolved. Sort of like this one:

>>>> Cast of Characters II for 200:

As a reminder, Lord Vashnu, Cape Dweller, Helgraf, Ophidian, and Paulon
are the ones who have answered 200s already.

And these are the unclaimed 800s.

>> Ophidian Ways for 800:
>> At this rank, an officer of Order commands fifty warriors.

>> Potent Potables for 800:

For these, the excluded parties are Samurai, St. George's, Claus, and
Ophidian.

This is your final chance to claim them! When I post the Final Scores
tomorrow (barring any more glitches), I shall reveal the answers, and
nobody gets the points.

But now, the final set of six... the thousands.

Cast of Characters II for 1000:
This fierce warrior guards the path to the Cube Generator of the Guardian.

North Star Armory for 1000:
With this hammer, one of the founders of Monitor slew the goblins that
attacked his fellow settlers.

Ophidian Ways for 1000:
Because of his overwhelming sense of Rationality, this Great Heirophant
commissioned the Temples of Emotion and Logic.

The Book of Fellowship for 1000:
Batlin gives this name to the anecdote by which he illustrates his
philosophy's third tenet.

Rule of Threes for 1000:
The third card in the sequence to deactivate Exodus.

Potent Potables for 1000:
Administering this to Dupre may in fact mark the first time he ever
drank actual water.

All right, then! That's the last of them. By this time tomorrow (more or
less), the results shall be made apparent to all! Good fortune, all of you!

(Addendum to other reply)

Apparently I can't. The post in question (Exotic Clues at Dawn) is gone
in the problems of last weekend. Ambrose being another clue to Exotics,
I felt it'd be a great association.
