The next 3 entries would have to be 30 minutes long each, at the least, for that to happen. And have tons of plot development in each one.

I really can't see this ending with any less than four more entries, unless they go major heavy with exposition. At least, not without leaving some big questions unanswered.

There's way, way too much to cover in three entries. I agree with Kat, I can see this going into early 2014 if the current rate of entries stays the same. Maybe another 5 or 6? And hopefully another totheark or two?

Thing is, they easily could wrap things up really quickly (though maybe not in three entries), but it would be wildly inconsistent with the rest of the series' pacing. It would both be unlikely based on their preference of slow, gradual reveals and stupid because it would ruin the pacing if all the important reveals come in a row heavily concentrated within a few entries' span.

I don't get why HermannFegelein and AlexTheArk aren't banned yet.

In light of the fact that people clearly don't read the "Info for Newcomers" thread, I would like to propose that that thread be renamed to something that stands out and is self-explanatory enough that even the people too lazy to read it should understand. For instance, we could rename it to :

NOTICE: DO NOT EVER REPLY TO FAKE ENTRY THREADS

Then even if people don't read the details of "why" they might at least remember the rule.

Side note: I don't mean to question the admins' competence, but why has this moron and his five alternates not been banned in the years he's been here? He's been here since f***ing Season 2, apparently. I understand that you can't stop every troll from showing up, but you can't get rid of one that's plagued the forum forever? Don't get me wrong, I understand there's probably some perfectly good reason for why you don't get rid of him, I'd just like to know why. I mean, if you can get rid of him but won't, that's honestly kinda stupid. If you downright can't, well, I can accept that, but I'd like to know why exactly we still have to put up with what appears to be a single person who's been here since 2011.

Can somebody make a thread with the title "DO NOT REPLY TO FAKE ENTRY THREADS" so people actually read it?

So basically what I just suggested? Razz Oh, and if it's a new thread, it should also be sticky.

There's a sticky thread that says "Info for Newcomers: Fake Entries". So I doubt any other sticky thread will get people's attention either. Alas. Derpers gonna derp. XD

I'm aware of the sticky's existence. I'm advocating its name be changed so that even the lazy morons who won't read the damn thing will know the important part (DO NOT REPLY TO TROLL THREADS) just by glancing at its title. Not to mention things in all caps tend to stand out more and are slightly harder to accidentally ignore.

It's better to deal with the devil you know. The guy makes fake posts. Most vets see his name and know to not even bother looking. The staff knows who he is. You ban this account, and he makes another, maybe he gets pissed and starts doing worse than posting a fake entry every so often.

This way, everyone knows who he is, real damage is minimal. He gets his, but nothing really disruptive happens.
