No absolute opinion but Hannibal deserves a mention.

Winner. And no, Scipio Africanus isn't one up on him... he beat Hannibal w/ two or three times Hannibal's troops and much better equipment and training. Hannibal, almost without contest... only one I might put up against him is Tamerlane. You ...

Isn't Ruins of Gorlan the name of the first book, and the series is called... Ranger's Apprentice, or some such? I can't remember who the author was either, but I think you just got it.

You are correct. Could you narrow yours down a bit? I can think of at least three right now.

So since there's been no response for a long time, I'm going to go ahead and post a new one.

Since I apparently have a tendency to make things really hard, I'll post one with the title character's name in the chapter title.

"Odysseus - Nymph and Shipwreck"

Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea series? Been a while since I read them, and I have no idea which one it is, but that sounds right.

Eh, close enough. The book is Have His Carcase. Well done, your go.

Alright, let's see. The book is part of a series of murder mysteries with a known detective figure, and opens with the woman that detective figure intends to marry out on a walking holiday, where she discovers a body.

Ew. Futbol.

Cash or credit?

Risky_Stud, I'm not sure what you're asking me. No, I don't find either name acceptable. I also don't think that my opinion should determine site policy. Nor should the single opinion of any other site user, or even the massed opinions of every site user... only lack's opinion sets site policy. You ...

Nate: you misunderstood. I personally don't find those names acceptable. So? Admin needs to leave it alone, based on their own past precedents, and because my opinion isn't a particularly good guide for site policy... even if I start submitting tickets about it.

Answer to the poll question: No, I don't think it's acceptable. Now ask me if I think Ball Busterz is acceptable. Or any of the other names that have been questioned so far. And ask me if I think the admin should be taking action over this unacceptable name after setting a precedent of ignoring ...

Author considered a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy her best work.

"The Evidence of Trouble Somewhere"

Guys, I'm running out of author clues. I'm going to have to start telling about the story.

You obviously didn't read the whole thread.

"The Evidence of the Gigolos"

Man, I really thought this author was better known. Born 1893, died 1957.

Not Agatha Christie, but you are correct that the author is female. And that it's a mystery, but that was fairly obvious by the titles.

"The Evidence of the L.C.C. Teacher"

No guesses? Let's see...

English author.

"The Evidence of the Ladylove and the Landlady"

Gah! Beat me to it!

But what about Enide? Or Laudine? Chretien makes 'em both sound pretty good...

Are you talking about an actor, or the historical figure?

Not Conan-Doyle, although you're on the right track...

"The Evidence of the Mannequin"

Eigidansei, my apologies... I had no intention of being rude. However, to be fair, The Nutcracker is, properly, a ballet, with literary adaptations, and "Strange Happenings" isn't exactly uncommon as a chapter ...

Sounds good. I'm in.

Jules Verne - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . Chapter 12, I believe. An excellent work.

Hmmm... something easy, to start off.

"The Evidence of the Police-Inspector"

Should it become necessary, I assume the method of hinting in this thread will be further chapter headings? I'll put another up if ...

Game 3825148 is done. Poptartpsycho18 was eliminated first.

You can get money for donating blood plasma in the US...

Oh, and you might be able to tutor without being employed... but it's rough. Me, I like working for programs better... more people, easier rules, easier to handle the students.
