Hi. This is my first post here, but I've been playing a while. I hope it isn't trout worthy..

I was wondering if we could use the fact that the people of PXC can obviously read our wrong answers as a means of communication? For example, could we perhaps all enter something at the same time of day?

Regards,

Personally, I'm wondering if we might not be able to code a message for Kurt, Sente or the girls in a submission to the View from Earth. Assuming, of course, that we had anything terribly important to say.

I was actually wondering if there were anyway we can try and get Kurt on this new panel/council of Earlywine's? I'm guessing that people that high up may have more access to the link than the guys would at the moment. Of course the only problem would be getting him nominated and then we'd have to hope he gets elected! Not to mention the fact he probably doesn't want to be sitting that high up in the academy.

Probably clutching at straws, yet again.

The Brewster piece is pathetic. My 13-year-old cousin is playing this game and I can only imagine how she'd feel if one of her answers was pulled out to be mocked like that.

Way to go, Mind Candy.

I think you guys need to take in the context of the game, not OOG as you seem to. In game its a bit of anti earth spin and as such cannot be taken seriously as its merely propoganda. I'm thinking if you follow the online game, no matter the age, you would realise that.

And we've all made stupid guesses I know I have out of frustration and desperation. I mean, seals! how stupid a guess was that?...

Oh, oh right.

DAMN YOU KATE HARRIS!

And when 'seals' went onto the board as a correct answer, it legitimised all the other stupid-sounding guesses that had to be tried, just in case.

So, while I respect your opinion on this, I utterly disagree with it. Ultimately, this is a game, played for fun and run for profit (and, to an extent, played for profit and run for fun, no doubt). And, irrespective of the in-game reasoning behind it, what happened here was that some clown at Mind Candy thought a great way to make money and have fun would be to take the piss out of named players.

Really wants me want to buy season two cards when they come out...

You guys are taking this way to seriously!!
It is only a game, a very good one I might add.
And the the players named in the Sentinal are all grown people, they can probably handle it

Expanding off my previous post, I realized we needed to flag the attention of our allies before we go randomly entering codes. As such, I decided to design a "letter to the editor" method of getting the information to our friends. This would be a first draft to see what you all think.

Enygma - I like the approach, and think its a good idea to open lines of communication in as many ways as possible. And I think your 'hard hitting' response is quite good.

However, just a couple of comments for general consideration.

If you are writing a "letter to the editor" then surely it shoudl address the editor in relation to Ms Brewster, as opposed to Ms Brewster herself. Just a minor change really.

Also, I think that the scathing tone is quite good. However I feel it reinforces the stereotype of us in a negative way. It uses cheap insults where if they want to view us a confrontational so be it, but lets not stregnthen their beliefs that we on Earth are common, basic and crass. More subtle wording of your insults could make her look more stupid.

e_nygma, that's an excellent idea!

Count me in!
