Rock am Ring's a festival in Germany.
Newpig's is a hotel.
Weesilvie's is in Japan.
Places to stay starting with letters in the first half of the alphabet?
You can't stay in a hobbit though - too small.
Crouchyy?!

I've just been on the strangest tangent. At first I scanned through the Rock am Ring 2012 band line up, googling random bands to see if any of the people looked familiar. Nope. Then spent 20 mins reading about the Japanese imperial army on wikipedia. Then, almost giving up on life, I realised hey maybe it's about dates! Checked everyone's "Join Wheekers Date" and found a few interesting things. Ian Mckellan mentions The Hobbit in an interview on 14 Oct 2009 which is when Jeannine joined. Checked a few more wheeker join dates but were much less convincing. Decided to check one more so did "1 june 2007 hotel" to which Scream (Tokio Hotel album) on Wikipedia showed up. Release date for Scream? 1 June 2007! The picture of the band showed some familiar faces and with tears in my eyes I raced back here only to find LONESTAR HAD GUESSED IT AN HOUR BEFORE HAND! EDIT: www.google.com.au/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=1+june+2007+hotel&pbx=1&oq=1+june+2007+hotel&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=12750l13055l1l13342l2l2l0l0l0l0l260l492l2-2l2l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=dcaf86a6a56af621&biw=1536&bih=770 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scream_(Tokio_Hotel_album)

Haha, yup Lonestar got it! Better luck next time, Crouchyy!
Hobbit is Georg's nickname; I decided to go a bit more obscure on his, since the twins both had quotes that would easily point to them on google.

Anaira was the 1 June 2007 release date for Scream album being the same as Newpig's join date on Wheekers on purpose or a massive coincidence?

massive coincidence! And you have a really random mind to come up with the whole dates thing. Ian Mckellan mentions The Hobbit on the date Jeannine joined?!

Well done lonestar - 2 karmas coming up! I managed to get the name of one of the band members by googling the quote, but hadn't actually gone on to think the theme might be the name of the band he was in - durrrrr!
Haha Crouchyy good work! I'm going to give you a karma out of my own pocket for a good effort!
Crouchyy you should take a turn next - I don't think anyone would have a chance of guessing the random connections your brain will make though?! Maybe anaira would actually...

Wow, Crouchy, that was quite a path you were on!
Georg Listing (didn't know his name at the time) looks like a young Axl Rose in the avatar, so I Googled pics of the young Axl hoping something would spark my mind and I actually found a picture comparing Axl and Georg, so I figured out who he was and went from there.
Are they a favorite band of yours, anaira?

Post by anaira on Jan 26, 2012 23:53:25 GMT
They are indeed a favourite of mine. Although I was taking a chance on no one knowing who they are!
And yes, Georg does look like Axl! I know the pic you're talking about, too. I was thinking I made Bill's quote too easy(since that was how Treen found Bill); I should have made them more obscure, like Gustav's black ninja quote. Glad to see it wasn't actually that that gave it away!
Treen; I figured it was a bit like the tree nut one; everyone thought it was more complex than it was. ;P Also, you didn't pick up on the fact his identical twin is also one of the avatars?

Also, you didn't pick up on the fact his identical twin is also one of the avatars? Nope! I was pleased I'd found his name, researching his family history was my next step, honest!

Post by anaira on Jan 27, 2012 9:33:14 GMT
Yeah, but you can't google Bill without Tom also coming up, and from there you would have realized they are both in a (German)band, with a name taken from a Japanese city! Then you would have looked up the band, and (hopefully)recognized the last two faces. Clearly, you don't have Lonestar or Crouchy's googling skills! ;P

Post by crouchyy on Jan 27, 2012 10:24:05 GMT
That was not googling skills. That was going through an intergallactic journey, challenging my very subconscious and idealogy, I've come out a change man. Btw Treen I'd love to pick the next topic but would it be better to lean towards moderate or outrageous?

Post by Bean on Jan 27, 2012 10:49:29 GMT
If they're your definitions of moderate and outrageous, definitely moderate!
I will take on board your comments for next time anaira - you won't stand a chance against the mighty Treen.

I'm probably too left brained to figure out Crouchy's.
