Talk:Evs Dropper's messages

Could "Evsdropr" be an anagram? --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 22:53, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

• Could be, but there's no reason to believe so, especially since the letter clues were given out of order and had to be put together, so any anagram of "evsdropr" could have been figured out just as easily as the actual user name. I think it's probably just a quick way of saying "eavesdropper". :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:10, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
  • That's cool that the user name's been confirmed. Should we put the steps used to find the username on this new article? Hana's puzzles used to go on her website so we were using that article to store the solutions. This new person doesn't have a website.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
    • Yeah, I think that's a good idea. If we keep finding out more about evsdropr but never learn the identity of the user, we'll probably make a page just for him/her. However, I have a feeling we'll learn this person's identity pretty soon, and it'll be somebody we already know. In the meantime, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't put the steps to figure out the name on this page, just in a new section at the bottom or something. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:38, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Donna

Here are the lyrics to the Ritchie Valens song:

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

I had a girl Donna was her name Since she left me I've never been the same 'cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Now that you're gone I'm left all alone All by myself To wander and roam 'cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Well, darlin', now that you're gone I don't know what I'll do All the time and all my love for yo-ou-ou

I had a girl Donna was her name Since she left me I've never been the same 'cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Peoria County

There's a Hanna City in Peoria. Wikipedia--Bob (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

• And check it out-- there's a Knox County adjacent to northwestern Peoria. :P --NellaBishop 22:59, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

• Here's a list of all the villages in Peoria County: Bartonville, Bellevue, Brimfield, Dunlap, Glasford, Hanna City, Kingston Mines, Mapleton, Norwood, Peoria Heights, Princeville. Any of those in some form could be a last name (Barton, Dunlap, Kingston, Maple, Prince, etc), but only Hanna jumps out as a potential first name. On another line of thought, is it too obvious to think that the name Donna (from the previous clue) might point at Donna Dorn, who happens to live in Chicago, not so far from Peoria County? No villages named Dornville or anything helpful like that (though Norwood does contain the letters Dorn within it, at least). Am I stretching? --Maelwys 11:30, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
• He's called Kingston Mines. --DocM 12:18, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
  • Why Kingston Mines? If you go by the previous clues, the name should have 8 letters and include only the letters previously given.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:08, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
    • The clue about being eight letters refers to "evsdropr", not the person's real identity. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:45, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
      • I was joking. Why would someone call their kid "Kingston Mines"? --DocM 16:50, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
• On ew.com there is an article on the new webcomics (see http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20189783,00.html). The picture they are using introduces a new character named Donna Dunlap. I think this may be our mystery person :) Disney42 09:58, 10 April 2008 (EDT)
  • LOL. Hmm... lets see... first name fits the first clue perfectly... second name fits the second clue perfectly... nope, can't be her. Too obvious. ;-)
  • Still doesn't explain who is the person on the phone... --Looky 10:36, 10 April 2008 (EDT)
    • True, but at least we know who 'Donna' is. Maybe evsdropr will be shown on a later pane of that comic! Here's to hoping... Disney42 11:07, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Paul E Sylar

The first thing I thought, when I saw the phone-pic of Evsdropr, was our old friend Paul E. Sylar from In His Own Image and One Giant Leap.

Here they are, side-by-side. The shadowy picture also reminds me of some of the old Nosferatu/Sylar inferences. I'm gonna do a little Nosferatu image surfing, and see if they have any that match that same pose....will post if I find anything. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 04/10/2008 14:35 (EST) .

I'm a small village located in Peoria County, Illinois.

So evs sent out two text messages on the same day? One said "I'm a small village located in Peoria County, Illinois." and the other said the same thing but with a missing apostrophe in "I'm"? Odd. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:57, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

The most obvious is Hanna City, even though it has one more "n" than Hana does. --Psiphiorg 03:11, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

After looking at the list on WP, I'd narrow it down to the following that could be names: Edwards, Laura, Hanna City, Dunlap, Cramers, Smithville, and Holmes Center (most of these could be common last names). Something about Komatsu Dressen strikes my attention; Komatsu translates to small pine, so I don't know the relevance of this. My two cents.--Bob (talk) 04:19, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

I'd suggest you check out the most recent graphic novel... ;-) --Maelwys 07:44, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

What about it? It still doesn't reveal who evsdropr is.--Bob (talk) 08:44, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

True, but I believe it does provide the answers to these two clues. First clue was a reference to the song 'Donna'. Second clue was a reference to a village in Illinois. The subject of the GN was 'Donna Dunlap'. So her first name fits the first clue. And since Dunlap is a village in Illinois... her second name fits the second clue. As a result, I don't think that there's any further information to be gained from these two clues. If she's not evs (which it seems she's not, since she talked on the phone with him/her) then it would appear that she was at least the person that the clues were trying to point us towards. Or she'll 'become' evs sometime in the future, who knows. --Maelwys 09:37, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Right, but I think the continuing mystery really is that evsdropr said "I'm a small village...". If evs is not Dunlap, then who is this message referring to? It's either a more mysterious clue than originally thought, or it's a poorly chosen pronoun. My vote goes for the latter. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:50, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

He must have Hana's ability since he published the chat Donna-Blake! --Juba 16:55, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Phone Call

Someone mind posting the transcript of the phone call between Donna and Evs Dropper? --Snow Leapord 10:28, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

May 28 Message

It looks like the scary puzzle-messages aren't going anywhere any time soon. I think I've solved it, but am unsure if it would be too spoilery to post. :-P --Blacklash 15:33, 28 May 2008 (EDT)

• We post all puzzle solutions we can, so if you think you have it solved you could discuss it here. If you definitely have it solved then I think it would be ok for the actual Evsdropr's messages page. (Admin 15:36, 28 May 2008 (EDT))
  • Okay. Here's what I got. If you read only the odd-numbered (e.g. 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th...) letters, you get "Sabine hazel sabine hazel sabine hazel" (the name of the agent thrice). If you look at the even-numbered letters (2nd, 4th, 6th...), you get "If anything happens to me check Julien." I don't suppose we know of any characters named Julien as of now? --Blacklash 15:45, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
    • Nice. You know, I'm not sure exactly what to do with that. I know a lot of puzzles get documented somewhere, but I don't keep up with Evolutions too much so I don't know where this would get documented. I'm sure someone else would know, though. (Admin 15:49, 28 May 2008 (EDT))
      • Nice solve. I think it would go on Evsdropr's messages since the puzzle was posted there. We've added similar puzzle solutions to Hana's website for puzzles mentioned there. I'll add it now.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:55, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
        • Who's to say it's not "Julie N."? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:13, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
        • Possible spoiler...Template:Spoilertext -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:56, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
          • Eh, Template:Spoilertext--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:03, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
            • Wait, wait...it's actually Template:Spoilertext I just got an email from Joe Tolerico. I'll upload in a minute... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:09, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
