The Connected System

I mentioned this when Book 3 launched and the Ranking Board was all Xs, no names. With Book 3 launching this week, it's contest time.

The rules are simple: guess where the names on the Ranking Board came from. That's it. First one to get them all correct is the winner. Submit your guesses to [email protected] and make sure to put "Ranking Board Contest" in the subject line so I don't miss it.

The fun part is you can guess multiple times. So if you only get 4 of the 9 right, I'll let you know which got right and you can try again.

The prize: Signed paperback copies of The Connected System, all the books (once they're all published)

So here it is, the Ranking Board with names:

LOCHLAN BRADY

DIANA BREKHOV

OROKU YOSHI

JAKOB VOLLMER

BAILEY JONES

KATE BARTON

ZACHARY GOOSEMAN

ILLYANA ROMANOFF

BRET BENOIT

KARL BEAN

And now the hints.

I'm a comic book and fantasy fan. My favorite cartoons came from the 80s. I'm from New Hampshire and love football. I used to be a wrestling fan and loved the more technical wrestlers. And final hint, the first and last names are from the same thing, so it's not a comic name mixed with a sports name. Both would be comics names and somewhat connected.

There is no end date to the contest. The first time someone gets all nine (since Lochlan is #1), the contest will end.
