Shouldn't this be a Noncombat Adventure instead of an Enemy? --Ch00k

Well, obviously, these are the choices I got, which are not the same for everyone. I'll leave it be until the exact pattern is spaded. It it matters, female gadgeteer.--Muhandes 21:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

My (JazzTap's) results:

Lady Capulet - Failure; Robin Hood - Failure; Titantia - Failure; Beowulf - Failure; Gawain - Failure, with a Scalpel

Oberon - 2; Bassanio - 5

Desdemona - Failure; Katherina - Failure

Othello - 4

Portia - Failure

Petruchio - 7; Benvolio - 3

Juliet - Failure

Mercutio - 1

Tybalt - Failure

Romeo - 6

I don't really get it; I just bulldozered through. Then again, I've only lightly studied Romeo and Juliet, so I haven't much clue who the others are.

--JazzTap 03:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Some observations: The data I added was for a female Gadgeteer.
Correct: Benvolio, Desdemona, Katherina, Mercutio, Portia, Romeo, Titania.
Incorrect: Bassanio, Juliet, Lady Capulet, Oberon, Othello, Petruchio, Tybalt.
Obviously, these are in pairs:
Romeo/Juliet
Titania/Oberon
Desdemona/Othello
Katherina/Petruchio
Portia/Bassanio
Benvolio/Tybalt (cousins of Romeo/Juliet)
Mercutio/Lady Capulet (well, not really a pair)
Mercutio and Benvolio are friends of Romeo so it makes sense to get them together --Muhandes 22:17, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Tabulating the results so far:

Name	F/M	E/G/N/P	Romeo/Juliet	Benvolio/Tybalt	Mercutio/Lady Capulet	Titania/Oberon	Desdemona/Othello	Katherina/Petruchio	Portia/Bassanio
Muhandes	F	G	Romeo, 4	Benvolio, 7	Mercutio, 1	Titania, 2	Desdemona, 3	Katherina, 5	Portia, 6
#21779	M	P	Juliet, 3	Tybalt, 6	Lady Capulet, 1	Titania, 7	Desdemona, 2	Katherina, 5	Portia, 4
#12606	M	G	Romeo, 3	Benvolio, 2	Mercutio, 5	Oberon, 7	Othello, 4	Petruchio, 1	Bassanio, 6
JazzTap			Romeo, 6	Benvolio, 3	Mercutio, 1	Oberon, 2	Othello, 4	Petruchio, 7	Bassanio, 5

Pattern so far suggest two groups: Romeo/Benvolio/Mercutio vs. Juliet/Tybalt/Lady Capulet and Titania/Desdemona/Katherina/Portia vs. Oberon/Othello/Petruchio/Bassanio. And it's not only gender/class, there is something more.

The current page seems to be making a lot of assumptions that haven't been verified... Cristiona

Yes, this was just to get it started. Now that we have the discussion here I removed speculations. Why don't you add your own correct choices to the table above? --Muhandes 08:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Here, in order, are the correct choices offered in the order they occurred. The number in () next to the name is the script page gained.

• Level 35 male Psion, Professor X: Petruchio (2), Bassanio (5), Romeo (4), Mercutio (7), Benvolio (3), Othello (1), Oberon (6).
• Male gadgeteer: Tybalt (2), Lady Capulet (5), Juliet (4), Desdemona (7), Katherina (3), Portia (1), Titania (6)
• male class unknown: Mercutio (2), Katherina (5), Portia (4), Desdemona (7), Titania (3), Benvolio (1), Romeo (6)
• male class unknown: Tybalt (2), Lady Capulet (5), Juliet (4), Desdemona (7), Katherina (3), Portia (1), Titania (6)
• male Psion: Tybalt (2), Lady Capulet (5), Juliet (4), Desdemona (7), Katherina (3), Portia (1), Titania (6) --Darkzumi
• male Psion level 37: Juliet (2), Titania (5), Tybalt (4), Lady Capulet (7), Desdemona (3), Katherina (1), Portia (6) --Hawksmoor

The order in which you get the scripts is pretty clear. --Muhandes 09:37, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Female Psion, Jean Grey: Romeo, Mercutio, Titania, Katherina, Desdemona, Portia, Benvolio --Darkzumi

So the current page says "varies by player." That seems to imply I should be getting the same selections over multiple retcons. However, experience seems to disagree with that. Is it reasonable to change those words to, perhaps, 'per player per retcon'? --Lxndr 14:24, 17 January 2011 (PST)

I guess it wasn't updated since retcon implentation, so it's reasonable to change wording.--Shikao 23:00, 17 January 2011 (PST)

I have noticed that the correct choices seem to be the same for everyone starting on a given day. So if one choice is correct and you started the quest the same day as someone else, their choices are the same as yours. RKBrumbelow (talk) 09:53, 24 June 2013 (PDT)
