intended difficulty: hard
solved by: Steve West, Chris Lemler, Justin Woods, Matthew Preston, and Joanna Woods
trivia: Scott struggled with whether or not to accept guesses for "Leeroy Jenkins," ultimately deciding to accept them on the basis that Jenkins was Schulz's name online in this particular game, and thus qualified loosely as an alias. The fictional Jenkins had already been his own goo, back before the game started requiring all goos to be real people.
