I need quotations

[Reason]

'Why is it that Sente thinks people from Earth are so materialistic? He dangles the reward like a carrot and expects us to bite? He should offer us something more substantial than money, Cube knowledge perhaps?'

'I feel like keeping the cube for myself!'

There ya go

"So far I have received a grand total of 2 e-mails from Kiteway - which have been 3 months apart. How can this 'Master' of the Academy leave his only hope for cube retrieval so in the dark?"

Can't think of any more good ones at the mo, I'll probably get back to you.

hmm faux-stupid quote:

"I'm willing to help this Sente-guy out. Afterall, when them Perplexians abducted me, they seemed like decent enough folk. Although, it wasn't so much a Cube as a floating disc thingy. Just hope it doesn't take as long as last time I got involved with them Perplexians-- that time, I missed America's Funniest Home Videos-- that show cracks me up."

end faux? No, end Stupid-quote

'Far too enigmatic for my taste, I say this Sente fellow comes out and says where he is, and what he's planning!'

Let's try not to be too, you know, degrading to either the man, the establishment, or the cube.

He is master of the academy and a respected individual in the community (and probably much better at puzzles than you: that's what this society hinges upon you know)

The academy appears to be a cornerstone of perplexian society. Tho some people disagree with the basic sentiment, The academy is very respectable.

And the cube is a magnificent artifact. Talk of keeping it to ourselves should be avoided at all costs.

These thoughts are in this context of writing letters to the sentinel. Other letters to whomever, say what you will. But a serious continegent in the Sentinel should show some considerable respect fFor the subject matte, even while impugning characters and activities.

I should also note: so fFar I am an abject supporter of sente's cause and efforts. If the game was intended to cause doubt and draw lines, it has succeeded.

Maybe we could include some comments expressing our intentions to help Perplexians, but at the same time demanding more direct information related to the case. Something like this:

[More serious quote]"We do have the intention to help Perplex City in what is possibly one of their hardest moments by getting back the Cube to its rightful owners, and we also understand Master Kiteway's form of providing us with confidential information about the incident needs great discretion. We even know that the thieves could have access to that crucial information if he doesn't proceed carefully at giving us the clues. But we strongly demand more immediate and direct action on behalf of Mr. Kiteway. If he takes too much time to provide us with key material to the case, the thieves will get away and the Cube may never be recovered."[More serious quote]

I also think that we shouldn't use too many faux-stupid quotes for the article. My first reason is that we don't want to cause a bad impression of ourselves as if we were some kind of underdeveloped primitive species. Second, they know we are not idiots. And if they thought that we are idiots, they would be idiots too if they continued giving Mr. Kiteway the huge financial and material support announced almost a year ago.

I would agree with most of what Scott says above. And I too am in favour and support of Sente. I also quite like Scarlett as a character. She brings a little fun into the game. So far the two-way communication we've had between Earth and PPC has been building up nicely.

But, because I'm feeling silly I've written my damning editorial piece I would urge you not to include this though, because its doesn't reflect my true feelings (or if you do, then don't quote me!)

"Our communication with Sente has amassed to little more than a dribble of incoherent scribblings; and what has been received is so shrouded in obfuscation that we are left wondering whether Sente is capable of finding his own shoes in the morning, let alone the Cube.
Instead, the people of Earth are left conversing with Kiteway's daughter; a 19 year-old woman with the sensibilities of an 12 year-old girl suffering from ADHD. How are we supposed to communicate 'intelligently' and 'fairly' when the very man who has enlisted our help won't communicate in return?"

"if i change UK pounds into Lecks and then into american dollars with the current exchange rates will i make money?"

[Rob_Riv]

"As virtuous as finding the cube sounds, is it really worth it?"

[Zzedar]

When I'm quoting you guys/gals/neuters, should I do it as quotations of internet material, or should I present the answers as if they were spoken dialogue?
