The fourth of our clever, tricky puzzle competitions for this Alliance Tournament is today! Decipher the rebus and mail the answer to CCP Eterne to win an awesome prize from our sponsors with EVE Time Codes.

Here is the fourth rebus!

The rules:

  1. EVE Mail the solution to me, CCP Eterne, within 30 minutes of the competition being announced on air.

  2. The winner will be selected by random draw from the pool of individuals who send in the correct solution.

  3. Winners will be notified and contacted in the week after the Alliance Tournament ends.

  4. Spelling counts!

  5. One entry per account. We WILL be double checking this and anyone who attempts to circumvent this rule will be disqualified.

  6. All customs/import fees for physical prizes shipped to the winner will be paid by the winner.


Up for grabs is the following swag:
1 x 60 Day EVE Time Codes

Don't know what a rebus is or how to solve them? Read below!
A rebus is a "picture puzzle" that can be solved to form a word or phrase. As an example of a simple rebus, take the following:

D + 1

You take the letter D and add on the word you get from the "image" (in this case the 1). Or D + One. This gives you "done".

Of course, ours are a bit trickier than this! Good luck!

Why do you post the answer? The fewer people that do it, the greater your chances of winning.

L is one of the main characters apparently.

Have to say, the "U" is really not cool for people from countries who (spoilers) don't have a university football culture.

A far more appropriate image would have been something like this

You Euros get all the fun with nabbing all the good sites and rocks after DT, while NA picks up the scraps afterwords.

So on the rare occasions we get something that benefits us....


Suck it up.

Curious about this comment, the fact the downtime is during our working day, so unless your on dole / student then downtime is bad for us, just because its 4am for you guys across the pond doesn't mean it is good for us.
10.00 > 12.00 is middle of working day for most of us players, but the point of the original guy is simply putting icon for a US university (and not a big one at that) is not conducive to a fair competition.
All it would of needed was a global company icon - I only found answer after the poster number 2 had brain fart P

Still the only person to offer corp creation free of charge. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=35634#post35634 Created over 200 was 3rd on the all time corporation job history on eve-board. This service is in stasis due to personal game time...

Probably a ton of people over here that didn't get it either. I know I, as someone who does not watch football, didn't.



I just searched Google images for UM, and clicked on the logo.
Thank Cthulu for Google.


Out of curiosity, do you know if the Google results are tailored by area, meaning that you wouldn't get the same image results over there that we do here?
