I'd award you a cookie, but...



Anyways, it's not about who's right. I only corrected the hair colour because I wanted to avoid confusion for new victims... er, I meant new forum members, mixing up Katana Girl with 1001 Magic Tricks Girl. And you can have what's left of the cookie if you divulge what you spotted in the three-characters art.

Dang, this "alternate-reality-game" thing has just reached a new level! If the SWAT vampire shows up at my door next, I'm going to be worried....


PS: Good find on that picture of the real girl with the red highlights.

You can see she has black hair with red highlights in the Christmas Card pic. The Funcom job advert from Edge magazine also shows she has black hair with red/crimson highlights, but I can't find a link to it -- anyone help me out? There's a big asian community where I live and it's been the fashion for as long as I can remember. So anyways, I'm only correcting you so people don't get confused about the other red-haired girl who wears a blue headscarf and reads about magic tricks.

I'd say she has red hair (not necessarily natural :P) http://www.crygaia.com/forums/index.php?topic=131.0
The Edge Magazine announcements show her with a consistently red hair from root to tip, with the darker areas being shadows (the image has high light/shadow contrast, as can be seen on the projection of the hair shadows over her face), as she has a darker red tone than the magic girl.

lol I can't believe we're analysing hair colours! "...consistently red hair from root to tip"? It's an obvious dye job, but she definitely goes to a professional hair salon. You have to look good when fighting the forces of darkness.

Never ever misjudge the colour of a woman's hair. I once complimented an ex-gf on dyeing her hair, "Hey, I love the red streak, really suits you!", and she gave me the silent treatment for a week before telling me, "it's NOT red, it's MAGENTA!" So imagine my ex-gf armed with a katana. rofl

Anyways, Katana Girl has black hair with red highlights -- Magic Girl is the only redhead... oh shit, the demon is back... I mean strawberry blonde! It couldn't be more obvious if it was a neon sign dancing on the end of your nose singing, "Katana Girl has black hair with red highlights!"



And Noneuklid, I ate the cookie. I'll bake you a new one if you divulge what you know.

LOL, yea, i overlooked the actual card, but in the Edge it looks evenly dyed all over, you are completely right :P

[Yume]

lol she went to a professional hair salon for the Edge magazine photo shoot!

rofl I can't stop laughing. Imagine if Aveline Belmont shows herself -- we'll be discussing if she's a natural blonde/redhead/brunette, or just has a really good dye job! Heheh, we're screwed, the forces of darkness will win.

If they haven't already, hair dye and coke are evil, just ask any Pentex representative (actually they would deny it)

Talk about successful viral marketing...3 pages of posts about hair color of a character that is a caricature of a artwork and exists as a seasonal postcard

Oh what the heck here goes...
1.) The kid to the left is an obvious reference to the cyberpunk/matrix/virtual adept branch of urban RPGs
2.) The chinese kid next to it is an obvious referral to Jet Li Marshal arts Hong Kong Karate flicks.
3.) The girl with the red ehmm sorry, strawbery, stripes on her hair is a definite homage to buffy the vampire slayer (they had to deviate from the blonde to avoid the law suit)
4.) The kid with the hat that receives the cross from the Santa is a mix of Indiana Jones (Yes I'm that old!) and The Mummy 1,2&3 (3 is not out yet but what the heck...). Generally a reference to the Victorian style steam punk contemporary mythos
5.)The little eskimo/indian kid playing with the toy wolf is a reference to the werewolf/Shaman mythologic tie in of contemporary fantasy.
6.) The Red haired girl creating the christmas star with her magic is an obvious referral to the wiccan (duh) magic (and not magick!!) tradition evident in contemporary films.
7.) And Finally (phew) the kid with the assassin's kit is an obvious reference to what else but...NINJA's

The sign behind Santa says kick me (well...him, not me!)
In his bag there are a toy dinosaur, a Goblin/Troll/ugly impish thing, some flying brooms (don't ask how i know that they fly...), some wrapped presents and some kind of a baboo stick, or is it a blowgun? Also next to the shaman/werewolf/hunter kid there is a toy crossbow. It's arrows have suspiciously pointy backsides which could be used as pins to a very vodoo looking doll right to its left.
There is also a toy pyramid, a zombie in a box, something that looks suspiciously like a mammoth with wheels and the comic puzzle which if you pay attention is for ages 3+ and contains 1.00 pieces (yes that is 1 point 00 not 100)
On the tree there are 10 candles 14 balls 1 of which looks suspiciously head-ish and 1 that is a world globe

Phew...That's a wrap!
Now can we go back to giving them ideas about dates in which to activate the timer and pretend that they planned it all along?

Ah! And there is no Clockwork Society

See Ya!

Wow, that was some summary. I like your interpretation on the classes, pantognost, however I have to heartily disagree with ninjas. There cannot be such abominations if PIRATES are nowhere to be seen! It just isn't right!

And the puzzle is 1200 pcs, you have to zoom the image more
