That... means nothing to me. Haha. I guess I'm not destined to be a Completed person. Ah well. Anyone else having more luck?

I think it's talking about a concept. The lines about valor and cowardice, they kind of seem like they're talking about a metaphor. There's no real proof to display valor, there's no shots to vaccinate against cowardice...

There's also the line about killing. Like someone saying that a killing has been lied about. Given the second line, the lie about it is probably regarding the reason, as it seems this person was slain for revealing the truth, or to prevent him/her/it from revealing the truth?

I took 'shots' to mean as in gunshots. But then that was, I suppose, because I was influenced by the talk of killing earlier on.

Just out of random musing; if we do come up with answers, where should we put them? I'm loathed to post a comment on his blog, considering his brother tracked him down that way last time.

EDIT: And what has southeast got to do with anything?

OFFTOPIC EDIT: Just made my 100th post on the unforums. Ah. Very Happy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
southeast means go diagonally down, like this:

Another kill to lie about
Slain for truth
No proof for valor
No shots for cowardice
Bastards

so the answer would be: alpha

I forgot to mention this, but the answers to the torments should be posted as a comment on my log. I also noticed that people have started congregating on a message board (link)here. You can post the answer there as well.

PS: You may be over thinking the first torment.


Better nip this in the bud; no referencing UF in-game. Trust me, I know from experience. Wink

You are mistaken. Many games point potential players to UF for conversation. For example.

Now, a PM who takes information from posts on UF and uses it in an in-game way (other than making changes to the game to address criticism), that's not right.

Oh, sorry. Guess I was a little confused about what was considered wrong. :s

I tried doing things with co-ordinates, but no dice. Anyone else having any luck?

I graphed the coordinates, and did not get much out of it, but here is the image anyway. =)

Hi apcfreak - I got a smile shape on the right hand side when I plotted the coordinates, which you didn't, so as I thought this was strange I checked your graph and I've redrawn it - hope you don't mind!

From a solution perspective though, the graph doesn't seem to help much, but it might mean something to somebody.

Alternatively, if you join the dots it does look a little like the constellation of Orion, the Hunter.....
