[SPEC-TASTIC SWEEPSTAKE] Who stole the cube?

[Lysithea]

ok, I'll take first plunge. I'll try not to be vindictive against difficult puzzle scribes.
I like this sweepstake because there is no way of knowing for certain who did it at this point in time. Thinking over the characters, it is difficult to rule out anyone with complete certainty.

Eenee, meenee, minee, mo, I point the finger at:

Allain

He was having those weird memory blackouts, and was just plain mysterious. Plus maybe he was trying to get a subtle message out about the dangers of the cube.

Can Combed Thunderclap be a guess? If so, then that is my guess

If not, then I'd say a team of people consiting of Anna, Kurt, Violet and Von.

I'm almost certain it was Alejo Jackson, he seems like someone who might be seeking that bit of extra publicity, RFD seem to have dropped off the radar recently

Violet

[Mikeyj]

It seems I'm going to have to be brutal...

...one person (the mastermind if you think there's a team), bagging more than one person doesn't count and neither does Combed Thunderclap.

Themandotcom? Ryandrew? Sort it out!

[Agent Lex]

Well, I may as well place my metaphorical bet on one Patrick Azadian.

If he's not in charge and Violet is, then he's Vi's accomplice or something. Yep.

[themandotcom]

Not Combed Thunderclap huh? Then I'll say Sandy Huis, the missing person.

[Rand0m]

Tippy. It's got to be since it wasn't Anna.

[poozle]

After having randomly pick a character I choooooose.......

I have no idea

My guess is scarlette because she has to be able to access myspace SOMEhow, and her explanation didn't work for me (in otherwords I have NO idea).

I believe....Hesketh Zeller, he disappears suddenly (with the cube)...the academy realise this and create a hologram/replica/maybe there is more than one cube?...

...academy spend the next 100 years creating portal to bring cube back, Third Power get there first and transport themselves to earth...

and thats as far as my spec goes/someone has already named who I think actually stole the cube

[TheQuestion]

[aliendial]

Picky picky. The writers can write their way around that one in no time. So I pick Sente. It will involve (necessarily) a deeply convoluted plot twist that surprises us all.

edit: I was going to add something like "evil twins, for example" but then I saw BriEnigma has already employed it in the discussion of the book of leaves update today.

[TheQuestion]

I think... *you* did it. Yes, you reading this. Perplex City is in an alternate dimension, and everyone on Earth has a PXC counterpart, a yin yang if you will. I believe your PXC counterpart stole the cube, and the universe is seeking to restore balance by having the thief's opposite (you) find it again.

Syzygy is a kind of unity, especially through coordination or alignment, most commonly used in the astronomical and/or astrological sense. From the Late Latin syzygia, "conjunction," from the Greek σύζῠγος (syzygos), "yoked together."
