A new post on Sam Marconi's blog, as he promised. It's rather long, but what we have there is some progress on the Suzette case and a second case which is all about mysterious disappearances of people living near the walls. The deaths from before are also mentioned and they turn out to be the consequence of some gang warfare.

I think that those disappearances are somehow connected to that goal Fixer wrote about.

There is also another new post by Fixer himself:

I don't know it anyone else has noticed, but apparently LaFontaine Industries is accepting applications now.

Got confirmation from Sam Marconi that the disappearances only happen at night:

I really am only lurking but its driving me crazy wondering whats up at the
East District children's park. A month ago they were sinking a "pirate ship" in the small artificial lake.Where did this ship come from and why were they doing this with a boat that was "built to float"? Then 6 days ago the TT reported that a child drowned after being trapped in it. Strangely by then it was just a lake but the ship was " artificial". Now a fence is being erected.Is the gov' stashing something?Damn pirate ship! ARG I say...

minor update in the Tribune, a list of school graduates. Congratulations!

(returning two days later, didn't want to bump with a double-post)

Today the Fixer posted this:

Me, I always dreaded essay questions. Give me multiply choice any day.

Anybody got in contact with Fixer yet? Now that I have some free time, I'm planning to get onto it and try to answer his questions. It wouldn't be nice if the game just died like that, I like the material we saw so far a lot.

I very much agree with catherwood. While the original material is intriguing, I see a huge disconnect between that and Fixer. My gut feeling is that someone's project was hijacked by Fixer, who made a few additions and passed it of as his own. That and the fact there has been no updates leads me to believe the Skinny Guy is ready to sing on this one. Too bad.

I'd rather say it was a mistake on the PM's side. Nobody was reacting, so they tried to lighten things up a little. Seems more plausible than hijacking at least.

[SLUSHO_ZOOM!]

The mystery was too slow moving. They set up the "reality" pretty well but then left us hanging... obtuse questions and pointless puzzles aren't very fun.

[FuzzyGoodle]

I think they set up this whole world as the stage for something more mystery-esque, and that's this Fixer stuff. And while they did an amazing job setting up the world, I agree that this new stuff is much less impressive. Especially because nothing is happening.

But I can't get behind the idea of it being a gamejack, since the Tungsten Tribune Tumblr sudoku post led directly to the Fixer site. So I guess the PM just miscalculated on our interest.

I have to say, I wasn't very annoyed by anything the Fixer did. Sure, he broke the fourth wall, but no one else has. What's so wrong with the Fixer being the only person who's aware that we are in another reality, not just somewhere else on the planet?
