well, with everything posted here, it kind of is, but no, not really... lol Cool


Wow, youre the coolest. Rolling Eyes

If you dont want to spell it out for us could you at least give us a nudge in the right direction?

EDIT - split from original "Matrixisreal" forum thread, due to its lack of topicality and flame war. Hopefully will be a form of deterrent to further flaming - SG

um... I think that I and anyone else who has or will figure it out will want to keep it to themselves... i could be wrong of course, but it's just that sort of a thing, ya know?

i don't think it is right to withhold information. if you are going to come to this board for help, you might as well give anything you have found. it's only fair.

Yeah, becuase its not like this board is here for people to all work together and share information that they discover or anything. Man, what was i thinking?

Seriously, why bother posting that you figured it out if youre not at least willing to give us some hints?

I have to agree. The whole point of this board is to get together to share information on this sort of game. If someone does want to figure it out on their own...well, that's what spoiler tags are for.

No ones saying you have to give us the complete answer (although I find your unwillingness to share it completely puzzling), but how about some hints?

Ive got to ask, why post that youve got the answer if youre not going to help us at all? Im sure you feel very superior dangling such information above our heads, and Im sorry for being so blunt but you are just being an asshole.

So if youre the spoiled kid who cant share, do what comes naturally and take your ball and go home. Dont post here if youre only going to take information from others and not share anything you come up with.

first of all, if you think that telling people on the internet what to do works, you're nutty. second, make an account before telling someone else what to do on a board that you apparently are new to... until then, you go home without the ball... i'll stay right here playing with it all by myself

maybe instead of 'asshole' it was ' Very Happy ', i might have been much more willing to share it with you...

Maybe. Maybe not Laughing

I hope you're having fun.
At the very least you seem to have turned the topic from TMIR towards yourself.

I know I enjoy attention sometimes as well.
I would be as foolish as they are for judging you about it.

I must confess, I'm a bit annoyed too. I was one of the main-posters during the 'forest'-phase and am completely stuck....for I live in Germany, the time-shift has it, that I could talk to OV only 2 or 3 times up to now and mostly late at night and though I can communicate with customers or understand my php-manuals, when it comes down to some (maybe even America-related, political, ethical or religious) word-play I really rely on this forum.

So, no offense, but an "I did it and won't give any hint"-style post makes me mad. Then I'd prefer no post at all.

*Puzzling on*

Hey guys, let's all chill for sec.

The reason for these forums is so that players/investigators can meet together and share information. Logically, if you do not want to share information, you really don't need to be posting.

In the case of New2This, I would say that he is defeating the purpose of unfiction. If you're not going to contribute to the team and to the cause then there is no reason you should be here.

If you still feel like shouldn't share this information you've happened upon, even with the use of spoiler tags, you should at least give an elaborate explanation as to why you wish not to share information.

If this whole thing is going to cause problems, I will contact a mod and leave it up to him moderate the problem. I have contacted SpaceBass and he has sent out the call for mods for this forum, so they're watching. Please, lets keep the attitude level down and work on the reason why we're here in the first place: www.thematrixisreal.com

I'm watching this, and please, please, please - do NOT make me want to stab pens into my eyeballs to rid myself of having to read bickering on the forums. Taking attitude, dangling answers, and calling people names is not how I would like my community to behave. We're smart, intelligent people - let's have smart intelligent discussions that don't involve flame wars.

I couldn't agree more.

To all concerned,
Before this gets into a flaming forum of hell we should come together on this. New2This...I'm sure greedo is sorry for calling you an a-hole...he was probably just frustrated like all of us because it seems to be a very challenging puzzle. With that being said there are some guidlines posted around here somewhere www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/ that suggest a code of play. I realize it is not neccessary to follow those guidelines and I understand one does not technically have to share new information (congrats on figuring it out though). However, in the interest of keeping things civil around here and not chasing people away to a more flame retardant forum, it would be greatly appreciated to receive the slightess of a hint to figure out this recent puzzle. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Geonags

if you only knew... there's no need to go postal on me, i just think it's a better idea that this isn't posted all over the internet...

i wish someone else would figure it out and side with me

though, if someone else does, and decides to tell everyone, that's cool too... i just won't be that person
