"214 MESSAGES RECEIVED. FOUR PREVIOUSLY ELIMINATED."

That doesn't really mean, "214 people responded, and unrelated to those, four people were eliminated before this trial."
It can totally mean that. Read each sentence as a statement of a separate fact. Then put the facts together with what we know of the total number of rabbits. HABIT expects us to be able to connect the dots at least a little.

But it shouldn't. I expect HABIT to be at least somewhat intelligent. I'm certain that if he's talking about one thing, it would have to do with the other.

Consider the following:


I have a sandwich. The sandwich has bread.

These are related, sure. But it's fucking stupid. We already know the sandwich has bread. Or in the event that the sandwich did not have bread, we were at least smart enough to infer it SHOULD have bread.

We already know four people were eliminated. HABIT doesn't make a lolhabitlol out of reiterating himself. Because he's NEVER done it before.

But maybe it's one of those Double-Down sandwiches from KFC. Then it doesn't have bread, except for the breading around the chicken.

I already covered that, right there, how do you not see it


EDIT: Let's take this further.

CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING

I have a sandwich. It has lettuce.

This, albeit archaic, is actually a useful piece of information. It is informing you of that which you were not aware of; There's no way to know if my sandwich had lettuce or not. But you automatically ASSUME it has bread, unaware of the other contents, because that's what a sandwich is; food between bread. But now, with the second piece of information, you have a more complete picture. Whereas, with "Sandwich, bread," you just have a redundancy.

If the "four people eliminated" are Ryan and 151-153, well, fuck. Why even mention it? We already know.

HOWEVER, if the "Four people eliminated" are other people all together, we have

....


Fill in the blank there.

Who wants to bet something going to down tonight..while I watch Glee.

I certainly hope that isn't the case. After Glee is perfect though, yes.

I'm totally reading an Evan/James Cook fic at the moment.

Time to catch up on the last few pages of this place.

I don't quite get why everyone is trying to parse out the meaning of HABIT's elimination tweet. If people were eliminated after this round, I'm sure we'll hear about it, either from HABIT or the hapless victims themselves. Rolling Eyes

This is a Slender Man ARG, if we're not trying to parse damn near everything we'll go insane from boredom

We do, because we watch this thread like a hawk, but HABIT can't assume everyone in the contest keeps up with the phantom tweets. He probably wanted to throw that info out again for those that missed it.

Well, put yourself in my situation. I've got a helluva hectic schedule now what with a 15 month old and a newborn and my hotmail account has a habit of throwing a bitch fit occasionally meaning I can't get onto it. At least with the twitter updates I can see what's been happening still. I think it's just HABITS way of showing those who aren't in the tournament what's happening.
