A grave announcement from Mister Administrator

Guys, I covered this on the forum. There is no way that it is any character from 1984. If that is truly what the Puppet Masters were aiming for, then they fail politics forever. I explained this on the 'who is it?' thread in the forum, so go there for details. Also, there is nothing to do with Cerberus there.

Look I only thought up that as a theory cause it seemed to fit a bit. I don't want to cause any problems here. Also I haven't followed the WTF Forums in some days so I may not be up to date there compared to here.

OK, no harm done. Sorry if my post seemed curt. It's just that I've said that over and over again, and I was also in a five minute break between classes so I was in a huge hurry to get in, get it posted, and get out again.

Okay seriously guys, Stop Trying to ID Subject A On The Blog. You know better than this.

I've used the opportunity to gain some traction with Ms. Matters, but she doesn't like it when people try to ID the Subject.

Nice work, taking advantage of the situation like that. You just keep raising my opinion of your abilities over and over. If you keep this up continuously I'm going to have to add Xanatos Speed Chess to your page. ^_^

EDIT: Yankee, apologies for the rude response on Holmes' blog, but really, are you trying to make things worse? Why are you trying to taunt Holmes anyway?

I know I shouldn't be annoyed, but a part of me is that our conversations with Holmes and Poirot seem to be having no effect on their actions. It's just...AUGH, frustrating.

No kidding. I've almost literally spelled out Moriarty's involvement (which I'm surprised that he hasn't noticed before), and I'll be rather annoyed if they end up ignoring me just to keep the plot going.

"Her queenly sister's land above her own, she was the tenth the royal crown disowned."
The cat's riddle, what could the answer be?

Mary, Queen of Scots?

I believe it was solved—the state of Virginia.

Anyway, reposting it here for visibility: I'm thinking we might not want to engineer a meet between Holmes and Mr. Administrator—at least, not until we're ready to let Holmes leave.

Yankee, could you please desist from insulting Holmes? You are not helping anything.

I suppose. You want to take this one? I'm so irritated by Real Life events at the moment I'd probably end up letting out something far more nasty than is wise.

What is is helping is giving others the chance to get on Holmes' good side.

Certes. I'll do my best.

EDIT: Wait, I solved it. Nevermind, catching up now.

Yankee White went and insulted Holmes, then offered him helpful advice.

Not sure what to make of that.

I would give you a run down, but I'm getting off before I snap. Yankee has not been helping my mood. The longer I'm here, the higher the chance I'm going to say something bitingly sarcastic to someone and piss them off, so I'm leaving to cool my head a bit.

EDIT: I caught up. I guess.

I'll be checking how Holmes and Poirot are doing, bye.

OH MY GOD!

MAJOR FIND

Reynald has revealed he IS POIROT! AND HE'S GOING TO WORK WITH HEFNER!

He revealed that a while ago. And if by "going to work with Hefner" you mean "going to do his utmost to strike back at him for perceived wrongs" then yea.

In other news, the cat has left us a poser of a riddle, so if you wan to go take a look at that, then be my guest. Also Holmes has left us a description of his former client, and we are working on piecing the puzzle of the client's identity over on WTF Forums.

A riddle? What is it?

I just hope that Holmes pays attention and reads my letter stating that Moriaty's using him as a puppet.

And keep an eye on Don Quixote. As Joe said on his latest post at the WTF Forum, make sure he does not attack a nuclear power plant or something.

Keep an eye on the utterly confused Spanish Knight, guys, will you?

And never let him go to Holland.

I really think that now that Poirot has "embraced his identity", this is absolutely the time to strike with questions about the wall, his existence, the existence of Sherlock Holmes, and all matters surrounding that.

Like, I feel that at this point, trying to get him to tell us everything he knows about his fictional existance would really help us here. I mean, honestly, his safety isn't that important in the long run. If I'm going to be honest, I think the only real reason that we needed to help him is so that he could come to this realization.

Also Spoiler: He dies anyway in his books. Not much worth trying to save him now.

Edit: Dryuna's cat conversations to the Minds And Matters lady has to be one of the best unintended side effects of this ARG. Never have I seen something so pointless be so amusing.

Well, saw your post on his blog. Don't know how he's gonna react to that one. If I had to guess, I'd say poorly. Well, whatever. We may get some info out of it anyhow. Upset people tend to spill more info inadvertently, no?

As a rule of thumb when bargaining though, first test the waters, then, if it seems like you can't get what you want without loss, slowly play your hand out over time. Though the slow part is difficult, since if you take too long to convince them, they get annoyed and end negotiations. The feel for the speed is something that comes with practice.

I would at least hope Poirot would be reasonable enough as to value the universe's life over his own, but I guess he can tend to be a bit ill-tempered. I probably would have used more poise if dealing with Sherlock, but Poirot seems like the type who's been through a lot, and has been thankful for our presence.

Besides, it's really best we focus on the, well, focus of this ARG.

Yea, I don't have a problem with that. You're trying things that you think will work out and get us helpful info. There shouldn't be any issues. Just... please don't go around insulting characters because 'you feel like it'. I don't want to go into rage mode and have to shut down my computer so I don't insult anyone twice in one day.

The point was that you weren't. While he may be angered by you talking about his death, you didn't say anything insulting, and didn't intend to anger him in the first place.

And I already had my 400 page long essay of different ways of insulting Poirots mustache pre-written. Darn.

(But okay, I understand. I don't think I was too insulting to him, was I?)

:P

Okay, guys, calm down. Nobody is going to "break the game". If someone does something unhelpful, the puppetmasters are just going to ignore it.

They're not going to make the game end or anything just because someone's being silly.

Don't get so worked up over it. It's just a game.
