That's right, it's time for another YWS Scavenger Hunt, but this time the theme is members. The answer to every question is the name of a member of YWS, either current or previous and some questions have multiple answers or multiple possibilities!

The first section should be answerable by people who know very little about the site but the later sections will take some searching.

Have fun! Submit all answers by pm before or on Friday 16th November. As long as it's Friday somewhere in the world, then you're cool so I believe Papua New Guinea is the time zone to go by. Good luck!

Easy: Can be found on YWS without much effort

1.Name a junior moderator, past or present, whose username is twelve letters long.
2.Name a member mentioned at least five times in the report a good member thread.
3.Who was the funniest member of 2012?
4.Name a global moderator, past or present, whose name begins with a consonant and ends with a vowel.
5.List three members who have been a mentor on YWS.

Medium: Things you might know already/ aren't too hard to find

1.Name the member whose science fiction often includes an AI known as Adelaide.
2.Which member of YWS wrote A Ronson Kiss?
3.Who designed the YWS logo?
4.Which member is named after a classic trickster?
5.Who did the cover art for the YWS Journal 2011?

Hard: Might not even be on the site/ are very difficult to find

1.Who lost their 'space' as a result of daring Rydia to change their username?
2.Name three or more members of YWS whose real name is Heather.
3.Who is the Punslinger?
4.Who are the Lav twins; current usernames please.
5.Name five members who have not made a post in at least a year.

Just to clarify, is number 3 for Easy a specific member, or in our opinion?

Is the logo the pre-Apollo one, or is it the current one you're after?

On numero tres, under easy. You do mean 2012, right? Not 2011?

And for the cover of the lit. journal for 2011, do you want username, or real name?

noninja: the original logo please.

Meshy-poo: If you're asking that question for numero tres, you've probably found the right answer. It was technically a 'throughout 2011' thing but, well. If you've got the answer, you can see why I said 2012. It couldn't be placed under easy otherwise!

Username preferably but I'll give you half a point for the real name.
