Great job

[Clementine]

There's a phone number that I can see when I hover over the 'magic ham' on the bracket page: http://www.silverladder.com/bracket.htm.

(206) 279-8173.

Is this new? Old?

[waitress#2]

That number is old. It used to have messages from Piginabeard on it but it seems to belong to someone else now.

wow, we musta posted at the same time 'Tress

[teh_lisa]

The number belongs to a real person now it seems. It was originally put on the hamwar page as a bonus for whomever found it first. They received +10 harmys maybe?

In response to my asking if it is FLYnn that has been defaced, changed, vandalized:

so that's where I am.

[Ashra26]

Reference to the book...?

Reference to who controls FLYnn?? (Diptera)

[Clementine]

Lord of the Flies, a rather good book. I guarantee that's the reference, unless it happens to be just another coincidence.

Not sure why he'd be referencing that though. 's about a buncha' kids that get shipwrecked and they end up basically going nuts and end up killing one another.

.. the Deck? Heh.

addition The title is said to be a reference to the Hebrew name Beelzebub (בעל זבוב, Ba'al-zvuv, "god of the fly", "host of the fly" or literally "Lord of Flies"), a name sometimes used as a synonym for Satan.

-- from Wikipedia.

Also possibly worth mentioning that one of the man characters is named 'Piggy'.

[nbnewell]

Oh Dagummit, I read that book in 6th grade.

The kids all start worshiping a dead pig head they named "Lord of the Flies" and yeah, they break into tribes and start warring. Naughty boys.

So, who is our lord of the flies and are the tribes deck and Korp? (Korp alienated themselves from the deck or split into a separate tribe.)

Or are the Passengers now one or bot of the tribes?

Or is this referring to a current split within either Korp or the Deck? (Saul and Flynn's defection per se)

Oh and Beelzebub was also a Philistine Diety, not necessarily evil and was Lord of all that Fly. When Christianity took over, they changed the meaning in order to paganize it.

Oh I can take this so much deeper..................

I am spiraling now.

[teh_lisa]

I hadn't read lord of the flies in forever so I found a summary. Here are the good parts:

can someone explain what all the defacement talk is about
