 		[UPDATE] Anna Heath 23 May 2006
Quote:
Making Shelter

Tuesday, 23rd May 2006

I'm not sure how to address this, but it looks like Kurt won't be back to the CRT for a while. I've not yet spoken to him directly, but Violet told me a little about what's happened. I gather Kurt caught up with Miranda, and then she was killed in some sort of accident. It sounds positively horrible, and I for one am content not to ask too many questions about it. Still, when I'd envisioned justice for Isaac, this isn't what I had in mind. I'm trying to make peace with it all the same.

My heart really goes out to Kurt, and I hope that all of you will be there for him if he needs you. I'm sure he's bleeding inside right now. How could it be otherwise? But I think he's not very likely to reach out to the people all around him who care about him. I just hope he knows that the rest of us aren't setting out to betray him, as well.

Meanwhile, I'm planning to keep covering for Kurt as long as I am able. I'm pleased by the response I've received from all of you! I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet since asking for your help. I've been completely buried trying to cover for Kurt on top of my own commitments, plus I've begun feeling a bit under the weather lately; and to top it all off, Eve has started waking a few times every night again, so I haven't had a solid night's rest in nearly two weeks. (I think she's just discovered when she wakes up at night, she can come and find us, and expects we may feel like playing at 3am, as well.)

Some of you have asked questions about what to send to me. You don't need to send finished cards by any means, just puzzles of any variety; and they can be images, text, whatever suits the puzzle. Please, though, don't send in puzzles you've found elsewhere and didn't make yourself, that simply isn't how we do things at the Academy.

I'd appreciate if you could send along the answers with your puzzles, and perhaps a brief explanation of how each puzzle works -- I can't very well submit a puzzle to the team if I don't know how to solve it myself, and I sadly don't have time to work them all out just now, though I'd really love to do so. If you've sent in a puzzle already with no answer, it would be lovely if you could just email me a quick explanation. None of these puzzles will be making it to cards, mind you; I'll be working diligently to weed them out during the long card-approval process. This shouldn't be so difficult, given the outsized number of cards Kurt's done already.

And now, here are a pair I've received already (I'll post answers in a few days).

From Martin Baker, we have:
((Billy Crystal + Mark Christopher) * David Fincher) ((Catherine Hardwicke - Tom O'Hara) * Blake Edwards) = ?

This one, Farmer's Market, from Helen Roy:
Running a farm and trying to make ends meet is hard work. Last week, however, I had a particularly good day at the farmer's market. In the morning I sold four pigs and two cows for 2990 lecks. Then in the afternoon I sold two pigs and three cows for 2645 lecks. Then, just as I was loading up the trailers, I managed to sell another pig and 4 sheep to a latecomer who had missed the earlier sales for 1120 lecks. How much did I charge for each pig, cow and sheep?

 		I guess this means that Kurt is going to disappear for awhile a la Scarlett the last few weeks.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I suppose that makes Violet, and the outcome of her talk with Sente the main plot driver for awhile. [SPEC]Unless Scarlett asks about Viendenbourg ... or the stranger's advice (the one mentioned in the Futures for Dragons) sends us off running.[/SPEC]

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
More likely is, given that Episode 10 has come/is coming to an end, the focus is going to switch to new 'leads' prompted by the [i]bona fide[i] last page of the Granier Diary, so I suspect that both Violet and Anna will be front-and-centre for this forthcoming episode. However, I can't see anything obvious that would be the next plot driver; there's not anything (apart from that page) from the CRT's perspective at present that would provide a new source of dramatic tension, without the actions of an outside agency, as far as I'm aware.

 		On the puzzles, I've dropped a note to Anna to clarify if these are just for fun, or should we be sending answers off.

The names puzzle looks familiar, but as there's nothing to cross reference the only way to get it right is keep guessing, there's nothing in the puzzle that would confirm a correct answer (unless I'm being thick and it's the names themselves)

The Farmers Market is straightforward enough.

I'm not sure that discussing leads from the diary would be TIAG, but if it is, it is implied here.

Those two sentences must be chock full of leads! Either that or *flogs horse that may not be exactly dead, but isn't looking too healthy right now* the stranger's advice.

Waiting is so not my strong suit.

The names puzzle looks familiar because Bakers_12 designed it and sent it in to MC for a possible card idea. They rejected it but he put his design (and the answer) at http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14954

 		I thought I had the possible answer:

either 72450 or 96600, I am almost sure it is the second option, but I wonder if Tom O'Hara is actually Tim O'hara

Never mind. I must congratulate you, it's an excellent puzzle, in my opinion, good puzzle design. Let's see if I can share one of my own puzzles with you lot, just need more time (on one hand, my job, in the other hand, my thesis. I am lucky to have time to read the PPC updates).
