 		I have sent my own. I tried a different approach, but I fear our intentions stand out like two rats in a garden hose...

Quote:
It appears that my goals are the same as yours, just this once, to help the Green for everyone's benefit.

I am not merely a child of man. I see things now with a deeper understanding; without the trappings, illusions, and mystery I once felt in my formative years. There is, for lack of a better word, a craft to this realm which permeates throughout all other realms, yet mostly goes by undetected. I too feel it is waning. It is true that the Green can be known and learned by us bone cages, but those who seek it are few. Humankind is sick with desires of the flesh, the material vacuities plainly visible in front of their eyes. In this respect, I can help the Green by understanding the Green--not with the foolish desire of attaining a high order of knowledge, but by understanding the harmony between Green and the gray Earth.

Since I was not born of Green, I will never feel satisfied in the Green.

I do not fear your threat. I have no intention of defacing any part of the Green. This threat may be more a warning, that, if I am to build these bridges with you, others must understand the ramifications of their actions. I presume the human council of the Green is small? I know of only a few who could reside in it. Your feelings of humankind must be of annoyance: most are not worthy of the Green, yet many inadvertently do harm to it. Is this why you sprites are not permitted to hurt lesser beings? It is our ignorance that saves us, yet defaces the Green. This is unfortunate.

I have heard your warning. I am aware of what the Green can do for me--and to me. I've lived life with much humility, and pride is a friend I ignore seven days of the week. The Green needs me, but I need not the Green to know I am, ultimately, resigned to this realm. Fear not what will befall me, for I have already tasted disappointment, and it is no stranger to me.

In short, yes.

 		I just spoke with the watchman... and we got an assignment:

Quote:

me: watchman?
Howard: YES
me: I was wondering if you had seen my message
Howard: WE HAD
me: good
Howard: WE SMILED
me: good
that means that you know what I am capable of, and that I can help
what did the council decide?
Howard: "you are forbidden to harm lesser beings in any way shape or form, by the council of elders" - WE ARE AWARE OF YOUR IGNORANCE
YOU READ THE LIES WE LET MR VANCE RELEASE AND YOU PRESUME TO KNOW THE GREEN
JACK OF THE GREEN IS ALWAYS JACK IN THE BOX
me: I do not know the green, yet I long to know the knowledge the green can bring..
Howard: THE TIMING OF YOUR REQUEST IS SUCH THAT THE COUNCIL ARE CONFUSED
me: destroy me if you wish, but until you do, you cannot stop me from wanting to know more.. and If the green is getting smaller, then I know I can help
Howard: WE EXPECTED THE MIDSUMMER'S SUN TO SHINE UPON THE WISE BUT Howard PUT CHANGE TO THAT
WE SEEK NOT TO DESTROY - EVER - HENCE YOUR IGNORANCE.
me: good
in the green time can be bent, why not go back?
Howard: TALK TO Giovanni Intagliata - THEIR WORDS PRESENT A CALMER MIND, ONE LESS OF ARROGANT MORTALITY AND MORE OF NATURAL PEACE
SIDESTEPED - NOT REALTERED
P -
me: I might be ignorant in the realm of green, however in the world of man I am not, therefore the green can help me, and I can help the green..
Howard: WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE AS YOUR 'PAYMENT' THEN?
me: Giovanni Intagliata where would I find him
Howard: PUNXTR
me: my payment would be my increased knowledge, the knowledge of the pristine..
Howard: WITHIN YOUR REALMS OF QUARTZ AND CABLE
IF THAT IS ALL YOU SEEK THEN THERE MAY BE CHANCE YET FOR YOUR FRAGILE EGO O HARDEN IN THE FIRE OF INITIATIONS
TO*
me: my reward would be the satisfaction of being able to help..
other than that I seek nothing from the green..
I seek to rebuild and to strengthen the green, not to destroy it.. as you have claimed that the green is getting smaller..
Howard: SEND THIS, THEN, TO ALL YOU FEEL CAN HELP: PROVE YOUR DEVOTION TO THE GREEN - SHOW US - IN SOME FORM - OF YOUR DEVOTION. NOT WORD, BUT DEED. RECORD IT. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE FULL OF THE MOON, AS TONIGHT, NEW VENTURES START...
DO NOT INVOLVE DEATH.
DO NOT INVOLVE MASKS
DO NOT INVOLVE ANYTHING THAT BREAKS YOUR MAN-MADE LAWS
TAKE THIS DECREE, CHILD, AND SPREAD IT O THE OTHERS. NOW. Go...
me: I will spread it, but you are not easily satisfied, are there any other criteria to guide us
Howard: NO.
NOW GO...
me: will giovanni be able to help?

 		I'm Giovanni Intagliata. Nice to meet you all.

Edit--So, that was wicked. I'm going to get the ol' camera out, and ponder this request.

Edit2--I seem to have reached my attachment limit, but I received a similar message as an image.

 		I got a similar message in my email. And I have been thinking..

How to show devotion to the Green? It might be impossible with my limited scope of this game. But given how our benefactor has talked, I think I may have an idea...

Phrases like "land of quartz and cable" and the request to not involve death and our patrons general disdain towards mortals and mention of "Natural peace"..

This may sound stupid to you all, but, um... maybe we should be showing Howard/Watchman a loyalty towards nature? I am gonna try something...

 		I shot video of taking a leaf cutting and planting it in a pot. I'm going to try and edit it down to a manageable time, and add some soothing music in background.

 		Well, I've not really been about past few days bar the odd check in and skim, been trying to wrap my head around some writing - writer's block is a bitch - but got the e-mail with the similar message, which made me pop in. I see there's been a fair amount of development. So, are we sure that this is devotion to nature? Also, when's the next full moon?

 		I sent my message to Howard.

It was kinda personal and I don't know if it'll actually be accepted as proof. But once he responds back I'll post it up and we'll see if we can have more context as to what sort of "proof" the Watchman requires.

 		Sorry to double post, but I feel this merits a new post so that people will check back at this thread:

Quote:
The Green has read.
Is deciding.
We would ask for patience as our time and yours are not yet aligned - when they are, we will share with those who have proven, like yourself, that you care indeed for the Green.
Yours is not a template to share though - we feel you understand this - echoes of a call in the wild only attract emptiness - each unique call is heard by the mountains.

The Watchman.


I got in! Apparently my proof was proofy enough! Or something! Regardless, The Watchman has asked that I do not tell people what I did. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be different for everyone, so I'm going to not post up what I showed him, as a courtesy to both him and you.

Good luck everyone!

 		Nicely done! Of course you can't share the template or anything, but just to confirm, is it asking for our commitment to nature or to the world of the Green as described in the short story?

Um, I would love to answer that, but I have been requested to stay silent. There are reasons. Sorry.

 		Got a message from Watchman:

Quote:
Who seeks to know more - if only one walks the path, there is no point as he or she would walk alone and have no company.
Three at least are desired for us to make use of the mortal world.
If no more arrive by the fullness of the moon, we will wait until the balance is restored in the world once more.

The Watchman.


Does it mean that only one person (Zobot) has proved their loyalty, but at least three are needed? That's strange, what about punxtr and draghkar? I'd rather not become a key player, because I tend to be unavailable quite often and it would spoil everything if I disappeared in the middle of something, so, well, I'm useless here (it's not pleasant to say, though).
