 		New email from Keith.... I think he trusts me again.

Quote:

What I'm confused about is why it was all quiet for ages, with one or two people contacting me, then suddenly theres an explosion of people helping david and offering to help me.

Its all a question of trust.
At the back of your mind I know your wondering who is telling the truth. And who to trust.

I'll tell you one thing though.

4,1,22,9,4 9,19 16,12,1,14,14,9,14,7 20,15 11,9,12,12 20,8,5 20,15,14,25 2,12,1,9,18

Hope you understand


If you have A=1 B=2 etc you get the message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

david is planning to kill the tony blair


Erk.

 		quite honestly this is the point I would jump ship anyway, even if this is a game its not one I want to play, I mean PMs should be a bit more careful with what they base their games on. If the British government got wind of this they wouldn't throw it off as "just a game".

 		I'm afriad I'm jumping ship too. I'm not taking part in a game that promotes or bases a game on the murder of a real political figure. I'll lurk for a bit, if it turns out to be a character jumping the gun, I'll be right back on again. It's a real shame, because there have been no grassroots games recently to report on.

 		Although...
Although i've noticed that it said:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
david is planning to kill the tony blair

Maybe its metaphorical?
What has
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tony blair
done that one would referance in such a manner?

Also this has that... intriguing quality....
*taps fingertips together evilly*
I like my limits best served pushed. Don't you? Twisted Evil
I think I'll keep an eye on this. Cool

 		I agree that it could be metaphorical in that it is implying the Prime Minister, however I don't agree with the use of his name in this way - it has alarming ambiguities if it is intended as a metaphor, which would be far too careless as it could cost the PM more than just his game.

I'm hoping the PMs see their mistake and retract the comment. This game is on an unstable subject as it is - done right it could be brilliant, done wrong it could have nasty consequences. If the phrase and element of the story is visibly edited out, I'm sure we'll turn a blind eye over the whole event. But if something like this crops up again in this game then it will be fatal.

 		David emailed me from his new address irishpatrickrogersSPLATyahoo.co.uk with this

Quote:

I hope this covers a few more of my plans.


With a .pdf file attached.

I am not too sure about this. The tony blair comment rubbed me the wrong way but I will keep my eye on the whole thing. If it comes up again i am out.

Your comment made me think of something that's pretty obvious, but you didn't say it.

Tony Blair = Prime Minister.

Prime Minister = PM = Puppet Master.

Perhaps there is a different PM in this game.

Of Course! Tony Blair is into ARGs and HE is the PM.

I'm kidding of course. So wait, a in game charactor is trying to kill the Puppet Master?

 		It was just an idea, because PM is an abbreviation for both of those titles.
