Sweet...

I really have no clue this time, but here goes:

Rene Claveau (ReneC) - Discovery  
David C. Lambertson (eldave1) - Fatal Distraction
John Staats (JEStaats) - I Can't Get No Satisfaction
Zack Akers (Zack) - Off The Record
Steven Clark (SteveClark) - Last Call
Khamanna Iskandarova (Khamanna) - Telling Someone "I Love You"
L. Chambers (LC) - Poor Bastard


Matthew generally nails these.

I didn’t finish, but what the hell. So far, the only guess I have is Dave for Rigatoni Rigamarole.

Quoted from SAC I didn’t finish, but what the hell. So far, the only guess I have is Dave for Rigatoni Rigamarole.

That's a lol

I'm not against that script or anything - just a disclaimer.

I don't want to state the obvious but Last Call - well I think we all know who wrote that one.

And hey, Stevie didn't write anything? Someone. stepped on his territory with I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Just want to say, good going, Kham. You and I wrote one for the female contingent! Good on us.

I don't know about guesses.
Will try in a few minutes after looking through again...

What does Aussie style mean? Do we have to call each other “mate” all the time?

Quoted from khamanna What does Aussie style mean? Do we have to call each other “mate” all the time?

Yep. And you have to order pineapple on your pizza too. Okay, matey?

Quoted from LC Yep. And you have to order pineapple on your pizza too. Okay, matey?

I ate humus pizza once. Pineapple is ok.

Mate!

Quoted from Warren Sweet... I really have no clue this time, but here goes: Rene Claveau (ReneC) - Discovery   David C. Lambertson (eldave1) - Fatal Distraction John Staats (JEStaats) - I Can't Get No Satisfaction Zack Akers (Zack) - Off The Record Steven Clark (SteveClark) - Last Call Khamanna Iskandarova (Khamanna) - Telling Someone "I Love You" L. Chambers (LC) - Poor Bastard Matthew generally nails these.

Claudio’s the expert here.

Haha, my brain is scrambled on this one.

I have 3 guesses, but I wanna give it some more thought.

Yes, where's Claudio when we need him?

Warren maybe for Goodbye.
I don't know. This lot is hard.

Maybe Ant for Sin Sation?
Ant probably wrote two - there's a guess I might get right.  

Btw, you can't confirm or deny.

Quoted from Claudio Haha, my brain is scrambled on this one. I have 3 guesses, but I wanna give it some more thought.

Ah-ha! Okay, you let us know when you know.  

Quoted from Warren Matthew generally nails these.

I think I had a couple of OWC where I got a few good guesses, Claudio seems to have some kind of sixth sense about spotting writers styles.

With a few entries and not much action/description to go on, here are my almost random guesses.

Zack - Goodbye
Anthony - What's your emergency
Gum - SinSation
Claudio - Kittens
Mark Renshaw - The Specimen
J.E Staats - Duty Calls
Dave - Last Call
L.C - Fatal Distraction

These are some sketchy guesses at best

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that whoever wrote "Thought Police" also wrote "A Fool's Errand"

EDIT: Changed my mind again

Matt, I don't think you're right on quite a few of those.
Just saying...

I'd like to know who wrote: What's your Emergency?
Just saying there too.

Quoted from LC Matt, I don't think you're right on quite a few of those. Just saying... I'd like to know who wrote: What's your Emergency? Just saying there too.

I feel like this is a riddle I don;t understand.

But I assume most of my guesses are wrong, they are basically shots in the dark lol

Quoted from Matthew Taylor I think I had a couple of OWC where I got a few good guesses, Claudio seems to have some kind of sixth sense about spotting writers styles."

Personally, I think Claudio does it by the writers commenting on their own scripts.

I've got Dave down for Fatal Distraction simply because he is that good and that script is going to win.

As for the rest, dunno. I reckon Anthony did a sci-fi one coz he loves his sci-fi like me and it won't have any visual elements in it but I'm stumped.

I'm gonna add to my guesses and say Jayrex got in the two entries "Thought Police" and "A Fool's Errand"

Usually I can spot one of Paul's scripts fairly easily, but I think he's disguised himself pretty well this go round.  

I feel fairly certain Mark Moore (Irish Eyes) is "A Period Piece."
Maybe Matthew for "What's Your Emergency?"
Zack for "Off the Record"
Steven for "Kittens"

I need to think about other guesses.

Quoted from Warren Sweet... I really have no clue this time, but here goes: Rene Claveau (ReneC) - Discovery   David C. Lambertson (eldave1) - Fatal Distraction John Staats (JEStaats) - I Can't Get No Satisfaction Zack Akers (Zack) - Off The Record Steven Clark (SteveClark) - Last Call Khamanna Iskandarova (Khamanna) - Telling Someone "I Love You" L. Chambers (LC) - Poor Bastard Matthew generally nails these.

and Matthew said Last Call belongs to Dave. What about PK? That's got to be his script

Only one I'm certain of is Dave for Fatal Distraction. That's a no-brainer.

Oh, and put me down for Gary on Rigatoni. Though, if you told me Last Call, I wouldn't be surprised.

I will be using powers of deduction based on other people's guesses.

Multiple people said Dave for Fatal Distraction but it doesn't feel like his style at all. Warren would know Dave's writing, yet he was the first to guess it.

Therefore, Warren must've written Fatal Distraction and he's covering his tracks.

BUT - Warren and PK are friends, and he also guessed Dave. The only logical conclusion is that Warren and PK both wrote Fatal Distraction as the sole writer team-up.

Also, Professor Plum killed Mr. Boddy in the library with a candlestick.

I’m guessing Joe (SPQR) wrote It was a Dark and Stormy since that was the only one he didn’t just comment on!

I feel like that conspiracy guy connecting string to pictures and magazine clippings or something, but there has to be a clue in how some people started with "OVER BLACK" and some didn't.

I'm also thinking eldave for Fatal Distraction.
I'm guessing Ant wrote What's Your Emergency and one more, Specimen?
Gum for Rigatoni Rigamarole?

But, I've never seen all the names like this before, so I think I can piece it together using my trusty spreadsheet...

Quoted from Claudio I'm also thinking eldave for Fatal Distraction.

That means you wrote Fatal Distraction too. And I guess Mark Renshaw. You're all in on it somehow!

I get it now - this one s the thread to find out who’s behind Fatal Distraction!

Quoted from MarkItZero I will be using powers of deduction based on other people's guesses. Multiple people said Dave for Fatal Distraction but it doesn't feel like his style at all. Warren would know Dave's writing, yet he was the first to guess it. Therefore, Warren must've written Fatal Distraction and he's covering his tracks.

Well you've clearly figured it out  

Mark my words — Dave wrote Rigatoni Rigmarole. That will be my only guess.

Quoted from SAC Mark my words — Dave wrote Rigatoni Rigmarole. That will be my only guess.

According to Mark (who's actually James) you wrote Rigatoni Rigmarole.

Ok, that's sorted.

Quoted from khamanna According to Mark (who's actually James) you wrote Rigatoni Rigmarole. Ok, that's sorted.

After checking Rigatoni, the wise Steven Clarke is clearly right. Dave wrote it. I was starting to doubt my theories but now I know to keep listening to the voices.

Quoted from khamanna What does Aussie style mean? Do we have to call each other “mate” all the time?

Khamanna,

"Australian Rules" in this context just means that I keep forgetting that Australia is 12 + or - 2 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, so when I say, we can do something on the 21st and I open it up on the 20th, it's because in Australia it is the 21st and I've neglected to be specific on time zones which every board member from Australia (and New Zealand and my brother-in-law) likes to remind me of.  

- Don

Quoted from MarkItZero After checking Rigatoni, the wise Steven Clarke is clearly right. Dave wrote it. I was starting to doubt my theories but now I know to keep listening to the voices.

I've finished all the scripts and I am amending my guess...

I now believe it is Dave who has the two entries. Rigatoni Rigmarole and Vacuum.

I'm still betting on Ant having the two entries.

Can't for the life of me work out what the second one is though, and I often have him sussed.

Oh, and thanks, Don! We down-under appreciate it.
I bet your brother-in-law got converted to pineapple on pizza. Still, Kiwis have their own rules.

Hummus on pizza, Kham? Bit exotic for my taste.

Quoted from Matthew Taylor I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that whoever wrote "Thought Police" also wrote "A Fool's Errand"

Just had a look at both and yeah that's definitely correct.

Quoted from LC I'm still betting on Ant having the two entries.

Based on the evidence I find this to be extremely unlikely.

Quoted from Don to be specific on time zones which every board member from Australia (and New Zealand and my brother-in-law) likes to remind me of.

ugh. Australians

I've come to conclusion that Dave has written all the scripts, including mine, using his multiple personalities.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw I've come to conclusion that Dave has written all the scripts, including mine, using his multiple personalities.

Well, he did say he couldn’t take part in quite a few of OWC’s...

If Dave wrote mine I would be very disappointed in him.

Not very good at the guessing game, but I'll take a shot.

Dave - Last Call
Paul - Fatal Distraction
John Staats - I Can't Get No Satisfaction
Rene - Desperate Times
Warren - Kittens
Libby - Soulchat
Anthony - Goodbye

That's all I got. This was a really fun challenge.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw I've come to conclusion that Dave has written all the scripts, including mine, using his multiple personalities.

i'd like to see him write mine. That way I could see what it could be if it reached its full potential.

In fact, that should be the next challenge. Everyone chooses one script for Dave to rewrite.

His best finishing script gets writer's choice and the original writer gets a mug.

Who's in?

I've got a better shot of getting a mug like that, so I'm in!!!  

Quoted from Zack Warren - Kittens

I had thought for sure Warren wrote Kittens but his review of his own script changed my mind. I'm basing everything on vague things people said cuz that's what Sherlock Holmes would do.

Other ones:

Matthew Taylor - A Protocol (because he said his script was misunderstood).
Libby - Home Call (she said her script could work as a Calls episode).
Zack - Goodbye (was quiet, means he wrote a great script).
Craig Macken - Whichever script violated a rule (cuz his script violated a rule).
Khamanna - Telling someone "I love you" (cuz she once ate hummus pizza).

Quoted Text Khamanna - Telling someone "I love you" (cuz she once ate hummus pizza).

Can't fault the logic here.

Dave - Poor Bastard
LC - What's Your Emergency?  (a Bradmanesque performance)
Matthew - A Protocol  (for being very misunderstood)
Mark M - Kittens

Quoted from Craig Macken Dave - Poor Bastard

I totally agree with that

Mark Renshaw - Off The Record

Quoted from khamanna Mark Renshaw - Off The Record

That's my guess too.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw I've got Dave down for Fatal Distraction simply because he is that good and that script is going to win. As for the rest, dunno. I reckon Anthony did a sci-fi one coz he loves his sci-fi like me and it won't have any visual elements in it but I'm stumped.

First - thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a nice compliment

Second - no, sadly. I did not write that or anyone that is going to win, show or place.

Brilliant analysis! - Other than this must mean that

YOU WROTE FATAL DISTRACTION!  ---- (INSERT EVIL LAUGHTER HERE)

Quoted from eldave1 Brilliant analysis! - Other than this must mean that YOU WROTE FATAL DISTRACTION!  ---- (INSERT EVIL LAUGHTER HERE)

OMG. It all makes sense now. The call is coming from INSIDE the house!

I will not guess who wrote what as I am simply not that good at guessing.

Quoted from Geezis I will not guess who wrote what as I am simply not that good at guessing.

Is that code for "I wrote fatal distraction"?

Quoted from Matthew Taylor Is that code for "I wrote fatal distraction"?

That's a reveal too far  

Quoted from eldave1 I did not write that

It's all coming together my dear Watson. Simple deductions. One might say... elementary.

I deleted that cause I sounded like a killjoy.
Just go easy on the All-caps.

Quoted from eldave1 I did not write that or anyone that is going to win, show or place.

Why would you say that? Poor Bastard is one of the best.

Quoted from LC I sounded like a killjoy.

Yeah, such a killjoy, mate

Libby, killjoy???

I now wonder what it is I missed!

Haha! Thanks, Ant.
I was just being pedantic about rules and shouting.
Nothing to see here.

My mate, Kham put me in my place.  

Quoted from khamanna Why would you say that? Poor Bastard is one of the best.

I said I didn't write anyone that is going to Win, Show or Place and Poor Bastard is going to.

Kham - I have never written a Sci-Fi so I know this is not me - or..... is it and I broke out of my box??????

No - not me.  If you want to guess my script think of something in the C+ grade category

Writer's Choice isn't being announced until tomorrow? Ugh. I hate waiting.

Yours is either Desperate times or Kittens. Or maybe both. Both are Excellent scripts in my opinion although I don’t remember what I gave Kittens, whether it’s a vg or E

Quoted from khamanna Yours is either Desperate times or Kittens. Or maybe both. Both are Excellent scripts in my opinion although I don’t remember what I gave Kittens, whether it’s a vg or E

Nope - I liked both of those - Kittens one of my favs.

I did not especially like what I wrote - think mediocre.

aren't all the votes in now?  I assume if someone outs themself it's not a big deal?

Quoted from Gary in Houston aren't all the votes in now?

Are they?

They were due yesterday, so thought they ought to be in by now.  

So I wrote ---

[tackled by Libby before sentence can be finished]

Quoted from Zack Writer's Choice isn't being announced until tomorrow? Ugh. I hate waiting.

But I still need time to build that memory eraser thing from Men in Black for when all my wild guesses turn out to be horribly wrong.

Quoted from Gary in Houston They were due yesterday, so thought they ought to be in by now.   So I wrote --- [tackled by Libby before sentence can be finished]

Rigatonni. We know. I already said that.

On a side note... it sure is nice to see script comments in the 20s for almost every script.

Good job all!

Quoted from PKCardinal On a side note... it sure is nice to see script comments in the 20s for almost every script. Good job all!

Agreed! Group participation was excellent this time out. Think it has anything to do with the low page count?

Quoted from Zack Agreed! Group participation was excellent this time out. Think it has anything to do with the low page count?

Yes. And for the most part it was mostly dialog. I think dialog is easier to read and comprehend

As to a challenge in the future, I think it might be interesting to have a 24 hour 1-2 page challenge.  24 hours to get your entry in, 24 hours to review and then the reveal 24 hours later.  

Don put a disclaimer about reviewing at least 10, I think that's the first time he's done that? Might've helped with review numbers. Also, the fact that it was mostly regulars.

Quoted from MarkItZero Don put a disclaimer about reviewing at least 10, I think that's the first time he's done that? Might've helped with review numbers. Also, the fact that it was mostly regulars.

Who are you calling regular?

Quoted from ReneC Who are you calling regular?

I dunno, anyone who's name I recognize I guess. But we got some new blood too and they definitely participated. Which is great. 20 reviews on most scripts so pretty much everyone participated this time.

Mark, I may be wrong, and if so I accept I'm gonna look an idiot... but I think Rene was being funny... regular as in bowel movements

Ohhh. Lol. I've been out of it today. Got my second shot and it's made me tired as hell.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Mark, I may be wrong, and if so I accept I'm gonna look an idiot... but I think Rene was being funny... regular as in bowel movements

I thought he meant �regular� as in trivial and bland. It�s hard to read Rene. Maybe he wrote that Protocol


Hey points for calling James Mark (winking face)

Quoted from khamanna I thought he meant �regular� as in trivial and bland. It�s hard to read Rene. Maybe he wrote that Protocol Hey points for calling James Mark (winking face)

I was referring to my lack of trivial and bland bowel movements.

Quoted from Gary in Houston They were due yesterday, so thought they ought to be in by now.   So I wrote --- [tackled by Libby before sentence can be finished]

Did you hear that thud?
That was indeed Gary going down.  

Btw, nice glamour Spring/Summer shot, Kham.

P.S. You've all waited this long.
Maybe stay Mum/Mom? Makes it more fun imho to see the whole list revealed.

If you want results revealed early you'll have to yell at Don... nicely of course.

After all in Australia it's already the morning of the 25th.

Quoted from LC After all in Australia it's already the morning of the 25th.

We sure are, and it is Australian rules.

Lest we forget.
