Yes, and no.

My bad, Dr. Miguelito "Quisp" Lovelace.

Transient, the Kewpies and Trolls are symbolic of achievement and participation, respectively, and also allow for quicker tallying of points by myself, and by other players, who may be scrolling through a page or pages of posts, perhaps on a phone, to get a rough idea of the scoring leaders.

To date, I believe every Kewpie and Troll allotted has used an unique image, so effectively, every doll you have gotten was a doll everyone else didn't get.

If you don't want to see the dolls you have earned, your forum preferences allow you the option of disabling image display, within forum posts. If you do not want to receive any more Kewpies, that's easily done; you need only to spectate, or to provide consistently incorrect answers.

They're creepy. They scare me.

papasmerf, I'm obliged to give you a Troll for your post, because you have made the same error as Transient. Respectfully, I award you the Art Mann memorial Troll:



Half of this question is still in play, and I think someone will get it today. If no one gets in within a month, you will receive the requested explanation from me.

I do like your tribute to Art.

You have already used your allotted guesses on this question, so you don't get an additional Troll, the same as last time. You are close on the middle name, (Quixote), but I didn't ask for that.

Man, you are a stickler for details. Ok.
Dr. Miguelito "Little Quispy Bacon" Lovelace. Very few know of his full nickname.

It's not "my tribute". I just did an Images search for Troll Dolls and Kewpie Dolls, and downloaded a whole lot of them. I don't make these things, I only rename, crop, resize, and upload them. To you, it's -11 points.

When it comes to the Net it is the thought that counts.

To be honest I am not concerned about scores.

Leave this question be. You're out of it.
