Well, I knew you already had a kid...lil' Codey...but nuptials don't necessarily precede that. Can I get you a nice set of Ginsus for a gift?

My dad drives a van with no windows. Shocked



HAHAHA YESS

Does your dad smoke weed?

There are two kinds of people who drive vans with no windows: stoners and sexual predators. If he has a couch in the back of the van and on the side is a sweet mural of unicorns or wolves or really any kind of fantasy art, then he's a stoner. Now if he has a filthy matress in the back and a bucket full of candy in the passenger seat for passing out purposes, then hes a sexual predator.

Hahaha...and if the back of the van is filled with gumball machines, then we are talking about my stepdad, who is a gumball machine repairman.

Oh sheeeeeesh. Rolling Eyes But, um, this isn't an ?
If someone wanted to keep trying to solve the puzzles on their own without looking at the spoilers, they could ascertain the info, too. I'll have to look back & find out who it was (I think I have an idea), but I was not the first to say I would report back...so now if it all gets to CM, don't look at me (not saying anyone has, but anyone could).

Hey, that's why I initially brought it up & asked.

All Im saying is, there are apparently two distinct groups now. The TDC supporters, IE: the ones who dont necessarily think Eric is innocent, but also believe that the CM shouldnt be the judge jury and executioner.. and the CM supporters... people who support the CM in what he does and think he is justified in doing what he is doing.

Now, as a member of the former.. if I make a solve and it pertains to important storyline info what am I to do? I know if I post it, a CM supporter is likely to just copy and paste the info and send it on its merry tattle taling way... this makes me second guess posting the info. Therefore, what exactly am I supposed to do? Its one thing if the CM supporter actually makes the solve on their own and tells the CM... but if I decided to post it, this has to abide by the honor system. Someone can easily SAY they solved it on their own, all the while stealing info from someones post..

I never singled you out Rabid, and if it came across that way I appologize. I specifically said to not take offence.. I am aware of the amount of people who openly declare that they are on CMs side, and I give them alot more credit than the ones who are telling the CM info secretly.. almost spy-like.

So what exactly are we expected to do? Its obvious that this spltting up of sides is what the PM wanted, but it is definitely causing a problem here. Right now, the way it goes is that even if the supporters of TDC do NOT want the CM to have the info, theyre screwed cuz theres going to be someone that copies it off these boards and sends it to him. Even if you, Rabid, promise to have a discussion about it beforehand.. that still doesnt mean joe blow thats a silent lurker slash spy isnt going to break the agreement and send the CM the info anyways. Im not asking you to agree with me Rabid. Im asking you to see my point. We, as TDC supporters, are handicapped, UNLESS we keep the info to ourselves which..well...sucks.

So what are some solutions to this problem? Two separate threads? A New TDC/CM forum altogether (like FET)? Even still, who is to say that one person wont visit the opposing sides thread and steal info? I dont know... I really dont have a good answer..so I guess we will continue to post solves and finds on here, and continue to have the CM supporters take the finds/solves and run them to the CM, without having a single thing to do about it, effecting the game for EVERYONE..not just your "dark side".... but if you, Rabid, say you are open for discussion before throwing the info to CM, then at least youve taken a step in the right direction, unlike the countless others who told CM without a word said on these boards..

what exactly are we supposed to do? TDC demands secrecy.. CM is open with his info... so how are we supposed to keep TDC's info secret from CM? This is a enigma of sorts..

and BTW.. I dont need any xanax from you, I know how much you need them Wink

as for the men in white coats, thats another story...


EDIT: I forgot to add... if the PM is telling us this stuff, KNOWING someone is going to tell the CM, and it is what is SUPPOSED to happen, then so be it, who am I to argue.. but as long as we have a choice as to which way this will go... Im going to find a solution to this..or die trying!

Actually, that's the point I was making...a few times. I don't argue that. Anyone could get the info and share it at anytime. Yes. That's what I've been saying. Not arguing.

As far as I know, there is no proof that anyone has even said anything! Where are these "countless others"? Has anyone been told anything by the CM to allude to the fact that he knows what has been going on with TDC, besides what he knows on his own? Or will anyone say what they have said to CM so that we all know? I posted what I wrote a few pages back...very little. I was respecting Nicole's finds...& that is when I posed the question that is now being raised again.

I'm sure we'll be led in a direction...CM kept hinting that we really were supposed to be getting in touch with TDC--to get to those clues--even though he said not to.

Smooth... There 3 factions not 2....tdc, the cm and eric.....I support getting eric out....If i were ever to meet that B*****D TDC I would personally cut his head off and put it on a pike in his front yard then I would set it on fire......Just because of that Fing king-diamonds puzzle...I don't like the CM as he is a hermaphrodite... and he gets slower and slower each time he puts out a video.....3 factions not 2
EDIT
Also the 2 thread thing does not work.... its been done before in deus city.... people went as far as to make secret myspace accounts to hide stuff ...it almost destroyed the game..... they finally learned to all work together.... and i might still be playing it if the PM didn't hate me so much....lol

Not once did I ever say it happened in regards to the recent TDC puzzle trail (As far as we know of, yet).

I do recall specifically, however, Wabo gettin snitched on when he warned TDC of the CMs threat. He was pretty pissed, as he should have been, seeing as though it was said on an OOG forum. Thats no different than what is happening right now, unless, as I said before, the person telling the CM the info, figured out said info on their own.

So its not like it hasnt happened Rabid.. and the CM has even admitted that there those among us that give him information.. just because we dont have any proof that it has happened with the recent solves, doesnt mean it hasnt happened at all. We just dont know about it, nor will we unless the person that said something steps forward, or the CM puts that person out there.

My point is that this current system is not working. We want to be able to make solves and post them, all the while protecting the way we want the story to go. So now we need a solution to this problem.

One solution could be that the first person who makes the solve, decides if it gets told to the CM. That way it remains fair. If a CM supporter makes the solve, they will tell the CM. If a TDC supporter (yes ERIC supporters too, wabo lol) makes the solve, and they wish the solve to remain a secret, then thats what it should be. That way, if a TDC supporter makes a solve, and discovers very important info, they wont have to sit there and consider whether to post it or not. We all enjoy seeing the game progress, regardless of what side we are on. Im sure nobody wants to see anyone holding back info that could make the game more fun and interesting for them...

so what do you guys think? This was just one suggestion.. it may or may not work but one thing is for sure.. the current system doesnt work..


(BTW - Im a full supporter of the trade-Mary-for-Eric club)

You're preaching to the choir! I'm the one who broached this problem! Direct it to someone else. I didn't say...whatever. This is exhausting. I'm on hold, waiting to hear what Nicole hears from Michael (I would love to see you hold something back to find out what he hasn't told us...like he mentioned in the letter to Andrew), & taking cues from the PM(s).

well I had to respond to you directly, but I think its understood that the last few posts were for everyone... again as I said before, this wasnt just to you Rabid..

um wha? is that cm supporter code-speak??

What Im saying is.. say we found the password to the first pic, and didnt post it. In an email reply from TDC, I would then recieve the next clue while everyone would still be on the first.. and so on.. it would all lead to a big mess.. a headache no one really wants to have..

I say that, within reason, we should play the game how we want. I'm not saying we shouldn't work together, because we should, thats part of it all. If we are going by simple politeness then of course whomever either had the biggest part in a solve and/or the designated spokesperson for the group should ultimately decide where the information should go. Of course there are going to be others who freely pass information to and fro. I think the PM(s) are well aware of this. If they are worth their salt as PMs then they should take this into account and should be able to set things back on track if it all goes off-course.

So yeah. Common sense and consideration should dictate your moves as players, but I think within reason you should play whatever part in this that will bring you the most enjoyment. Whatever.

I think this is a good jumping off-point for what is about to come. I have a feeling that a lot more of this will be happening in the near future... Smile

You would also hope that the IG characters as well as the PMs would realize that someone other than the heavy hitters (e.g. Wabo, Rabid, Sniper, etc.) is sending this information, and is MORE THAN LIKELY stealing a solve from one of them to send it to the IG characters.

Or so you'd hope. So if that's the case, the PM could take steps to ensure that 1) the hard core players in the game aren't confused and 2) not bickering and biting each others head's off for being 'traitors'.

I also agree that if you make the solve, post it. Keep the rest of us in the limelight, and if the PM is doing their job, this shouldn't be that big of a problem. This is why I was so miffed when TDC tried to blame Nicole for what she posted on this forum.

If anyone knows the PM for the game, you should possibly contact him/her with these concerns...unless that would ruin the game for you. Then you could possibly give someone who isn't a major player, but has been lurking, and knows the basic constructs, who could contact them with the player's concern.

Again, though, hopefully the PM has already noticed this obstacle and is taking steps to patch it up.

(P.S. I'm still new, so if any of this is against ARG rules, feel free to trout me.)
