The first four have been found!
They are...
INFECTIOUS LASS--(found by MLLASH)
SHIKARI (found by PEX)
QUISLET (found by MINESURFER)
COLOR KID (found by OUTDOOR MINER)
There's still one out there that hasn't yet been picked. In answer to the question 'what if multiple posters pick the same name?' I think the fair thing to do is go with who picked it first, since it shouldn't take that long to look at what's been chosen already.
So, second round for the final signed book! Again, pick three names that haven't been chosen yet, and the four winners above(and Scott and Gary) can't choose this time.
Just for fun, I'm gonna stick in an extra signed comic from some other run of mine in each package, so if you have a preference, I'll try to accomodate. You can choose from Birds of Prey, Deadpool/Agent X, Gus Beezer, Simpsons, or Killer Princesses. If I can't find the book specifically, I have to reserve the right to substitute (in particular, I have very few Agent X/Deadpool issues, so I can only do my best there).
Thanks to everyone who voted...wish I could send all of you some comics!
The winners above, please send your mailing addys to gailcbr@yahoo.com, including Scott and Gary. I'm on vacation next week but will send them soon as I get back.
Best wishes,
Gail

That's okay. Thanks for making this into a fun game!
YAY Eryk!!!
And Pex, Outdoor Miner & Minesurfer!!!
You're welcome, Cap...maybe I'll do the same with Bop at some later point here, since you've all been so nice.
Best,
Gail
Thanks for the for the contest Gail & congrats to everyone that won!
Thanks Gail. It was really sweet of you to do this!
Congrats to everyone that won. And, OMG Lasher!!!!!
I guess I've been a good boy lately!! My karma is finally kicking in!
That was fun.
We ought to see if we can all score some DC or Legion-relaunch 'swag' at Wizard World Dallas and play games like this a lot more.
YAY!
You see... I figured two things:
1) The list thus far was thrust too far towards the obscure side. There weren't any "classic" Legionnaires on it. The remaining answer was probably one of them.
2) The "distinct names = distinct characters" rule hadn't really come into play yet, unless it was simply meant to prevent the Dawnstar = Shikari argument from coming into play. There was a good chance it was someone whose codename had changed, then.
Thanks so much, Gail!
Lets do this game again. It was fun looking through all my old issues of Who's Who in the LSH.
What ever happend to poor Vis Lad anyway?
Congrats, guys! (Eryk, I was using the same reasoning as you when I guessed Valor. Oh well)
I was *so* disappointed when you picked Duo Damsel before me, Kippers!
Pshaw! You shouldn't be, you're the one who won!
I said "was".
Seriously, I thought it would have really clever if the initial taking of "Triplicate Girl" and "Triad" out of the running was just a way of diverting attention from the fact that she'd actually had a completely different code name throughout most her existence!

I just winged it.
Seriously, they were the first three codenames that came into my head upon reading that Mark Waid was involved.
Congrats to all the winners, and thanks for such a cool game and such a nice act, Gail
Being a LEGION fan is so utterly cool!
Congrats to all! Can't wait for the last issue of Gail's arc to pop up in stores.
As it stands the winners of this little shindig were:
MLlash
Pex
Minesurfer (that's me. Hi)
Outdoor Miner (not to be confused with Minesurfer)
Eryk Davis Ester
and both Scott
were promised comics as well for hosting such a groovy message board.
I haven't received my comics yet and I know a few other winners haven't either. I just wanted to inquire if anybody had received their prize yet?
I've PM'd Gail through this board about a month ago and I emailed her through her board at Comic Book Resources last week. I haven't heard anything back from her.
Before I go starting a thread over at her board, I'd like to try back channels first. Does anybody have a way of contacting Gail so that it doesn't seem like we're calling her out publicly or trying to be pushy? Since she hasn't been here in awhile, I thought bumping this thread wouldn't be too harsh.
