is the dog name Polly ?

Pretty much this. Checked out Snacktime! and since Louis isn't it then my second guess of the day would have been for Pollywog. Great hints for both challenges, the third one for the dog's name is pretty much a steal! Thanks Slaugh! I feel more motivated to try the puzzle more now but I might not get far given my low decryption level. :D

Edit: My guesses for the dog name were taken (with one confirmed not being Louis), hence the lack of it from my end!

How does Polly refer to how the dog looks?

when i threw my last guess i pretty much forgot just what you said, and also its a male dog, so i think im gonna be wrong ... i have another guess ready, but i don't know how soon i can guess again, so i'll just wait

2 per day, so you're good to go.

second guess @challenge2: Popcorn

thx for the info .... ill give it some time before i post again, this way people can get their guesses in

Cyberevil:

Curmudgeon Yammering- 'Bout Everything, Revolutionary, Extreme, Ironic, Life.

I'm most interested in :

(1) Front Page Sports Football (mainly to see if it's like the VERY old one I spent MANY hours playing back in the day) (2) Probably Archery

Challenge #2... Golden? Golden Boy?

Lets give it a shot for the 2nd challenge. Following the clues (and I hope I am smart enough to follow them correctly), I'll guess the name Raisin!

Pollywog was going to be my second guess yesterday, but I decided against it since I don't know where a child would have heard the word! It fits because of this: PAW-ly-wog ;D

I already guessed Golden, Cyberevil ;)

Today's first guess was going to be Popcorn, but I think that's got to be it, so no guess from me :p

As for challenge #1... I still can't get it. My skillz are lacking Xp

My next guess for the dogs name is Curious.

The dog's name is indeed Popcorn! Mobutu was the first to give the correct answer, but he's only playing for fun. Since you're the second person who found the right name, you're the official winner of the 2nd challenge.

Congratulations, <span class="bold">genkicolleen</span>! You're now the lucky winner of the following games:

▪ The Detail Episode 1
▪ Curse: The Eye of Isis
▪ Skilltree Saga

Oh my goodness, hooray~! Thank you so much! That's a great name for the dog :D

I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how the other challenge is solved!

Yes, he looked like a giant popcorn when he was a baby! :-p
(see attachment)

I've decided to change the first challenge to make it easier... I realize it was too complex, even with the given clues. And guess what, another challenge is also coming! :-)

PS: You're still eligible for regular draws. The first winners will be announced in a few hours...

Popcorn is an awesome name!
