Hi, I'm new to this site but ive been balls deep in this series of books for about a decade. What was the point of the challenging question when I registered? It was what was Surly's original name. I thought Surly was her original name and then she changed it to Laseen because that meant thronemaster.

I don't remember any such question, but I assume it's a form of literary CAPTCHA?

Well sir, I thought so also but then there was a typical CAPTCHA in the section after it. Is this ipb messing with me alone?

Most assuredly not. It's a newer form of testing the 'humanity' of a user who is registering. I.e. if you have a fan site (like this one) ask a question about the fan work (in this case, the MBotF), so that a bot (hopefully) won't be able to get past it using the normal CAPTCHA-bypassing stuff.

As for the question, it is kind of a trick, I'll grant you. But that's also sort of the point. :p

Like a fool I spent some time trying to find out if we'd ever been told what her given name was (assuming Surly was an 'army' name) but went with Laseen in the end and here I am :blink:
