Well well well... It would appear that it's this time of year again, time to pull out our ol' deerstalker hats / monocles / pipes and get cracking on cracking the codes left by our lovely yet mischevious staff! Let's all just pretend I posted this seven days ago... "#oops" but anyways It's weird to think it's been a whole year since I could properly partake in something social of this scale featuring a lot of the CS community, so I'm looking forward to jumping back into it! I may not have been a particularly big help last year but I still had fun joining the shenanigans - learning about the staff, theorising with fellow users, and anticipating the next growths; being the first staff litter I actually put time and effort into decoding, I became sentimentally attached to more than just a few of the outcomes/designs! Unfortunately, however, due to massive changes in numerous circumstance since then I'll be unable to offer as much insight now; without as much time for research these days as I used to have, I'll probably just check the hint chart and attempt to put two-and-two together where I can while hoping that it'll be of some use to others!
With that being said, it's past midnight for me as I write this so I pretty much just popped in to suggest a few potential crumbs to follow, namely for Zelery's outcome (though I wanna state for the record that I'm REALLY looking forward to Dama's music hints P!ATD AAAAAH and Juice box's sweet hints being answered):With one of
Zelery's hints being that "paramore" is related to the number "11" in their interests, I instantly thought of the band Paramore due to the spelling of the word in question. Clearly based off the word "paramour" which is "a lover, especially when secret", I thought it could have some basis in the origin word because the palette of this year's litter is distinctly pink, a colour commonly associated with love. However, as a lover of music myself, I can happily point out that the band Paramore released an EP in 2011 called "Singles Club" which only has four songs, the first being "Monster" - so perhaps
Zelery's outcome is somehow spoopy?
ALSO GUESSED BY WOLFIEJEWELS Or when looking at the 11th song on each of their five studio albums (the first only having 10 songs, the second "Born For This", the third "All I Wanted", the fourth "Interlude: Holiday", and the fifth "No Friend") perhaps their outcome is born for love, or "all they want" is "a friend"? Or perhaps their hint "I am error", if not being the name of their outcome, relates to a lyric that I'd have to track down - like "we are broken" from their first studio album? I'm probably just spouting nonsense here, but I got sooo excited by all of the music-related hints both potential and outright, so hopefully these ideas are something we can run with!
I also took a peek into what
Zeena's hints could mean, but as they said that "1.7.2014" (unsure of whether this is D/M/Y or M/D/Y format) didn't relate to anything on or about CS, and with nothing that I could find on their profile pointing to anything personally important revelant to either of those dates, I tried looking up what happened in the world on both of them - the results came back with one death, one tv show casting change, and two political changes, none of which particularly stood out to me as a likely possibility. So ultimately I've got no idea and hope that someone else is closer than me to working out what those numbers mean!
