[UPDATE] May 12 - Sentinel - New Article

There is also a new headline of note: "open design awarded". Perhaps open design has a new contract? No updates on that web site yet.

As an actor myself, I couldn't help but pick up on the story. Given that the timings offered are so precise, has anybody been checking sites/conducting web searches at the approximate show times given, and come up with anything? My immediate assumption was that if the run won't last long, any messages available might cease broadcasting after, say, a week. Admittedly, this could just be an overreaction to an otherwise straighforward infodump. But I wondered...

There are some real - world theatres called the Majestic, BTW. I think one's in New York. Whether that's any help is another question.

i'd say it's a bit harsh ... but rounded up atleast in US slang just means captured and while it does ussualy refer to capturing a group of some thing like sheep or cattle it can be aplyed to one person ... and yeah i'd like to see a picture/sketch of this dimond span thing so i can under stand why being marched off of it sideway is diffrent that any other direction...

Maybe the Diamond Span is a bridge, possibly one like the Mobius Stripe but, er, straight. Or a pier. Chances are we'll know when we see a pic, the name sounds pretty specific.

Yes, I guess that's logical. The Mobius Strip is, approximately, the shape of an actual Mobius Strip, so it could well be that the Diamond Span is shaped...er...like a diamond. Maybe if it is a bridge or pier, you could only be marched sideways off it (i.e. if you just went straight forward or back, you'd simply touch down on terra firma on either side of the 'span').

As to the 'harshness' of the suggestion...evidently, in Perplex City, the theatre critic's bitchiness knows no bounds...

We're gonna get a map of the city on the back of the cards so I guess we'll see soon enough.

I'm not the only one thinking pier I guess. I immediately thought of crabs because they can march sideways and the sentence sounds like an allusion to walking the plank, into water. Also the Ruth Coralhouse story fits well with the Achemy Reef seeding in an oceanic context.

Is it possible that the director is multipedal? Some Sentinel readers have extra eyes, maybe extra legs too.

That is however, the cruelest pan I think I have ever read.

Sidenote: eBay now has PC Coasters. Is this someone ripping off mind candy? Funny because earlier today I sent mindcandy an idea about putting PC puzzles on restaurant placemats - like all fine restaurant used to do when I was a kid.
