oh hi - Shaytan - 11-07-2015
there's a dairy farm on old Farmer Samson's land. It's by a marsh, which really isn't a good place for cows, if you ask me. not for them, at least. they tend to lose a lot of cows. you see, i'm a werewolf and when the full moon comes out, it's time to shed my skin. you don't know it, but you and me, we're not the same kind of 'person.' you can see it in the eyes - it's always in the eyes. mine are hollow, yours at least have some shred of humanity. my mate is the same way. when we run loose in the countryside, the country fears the power of two werewolves. you better hope we don't become three.

Eight is a power of two, and two to the third power is eight.

unsuccessful. the clue for fennick is not to the actual name of the character; while eight is a power of two, so are an infinite other amount of numbers; "become three" is not a concrete clue to two to the third power aka eight. If you had included the actual phrase "two to the third power" or more concrete clues, it would have been successful.

Ok, I'm just confused about fennick, because when you google 'fennick name', that link comes up, explaining the history. along with a couple of others that say the exact same thing. how is that not an acceptable clue for fennick?
RE: oh hi - kahzie - 11-12-2015
I have looked into it more, and basically the clue you had was a good/strong one and would have been 100% acceptable if the character's name were Fenwick. Like you mentioned in your reply, the history needs to be a part of the clue. So if, for example, you had "there's a dairy farm on old Farmer Samson's land. It's by a marsh, but we changed the spelling of its name", or "there's a dairy farm on old Farmer Samson's land. It's by a marsh, and we replaced the W with an N" or something along those lines, it would have been successful.
I'm going to go ahead and add this type of example to the Steal Guide because it's probably something that a lot of people would appreciate clarification on.

Great, thanks for the explanation.
