 		Mine:

You say "The answer to this question is false. True or False?"

Your first sentence is a statement of fact, not a question. So I'll assume that it refers to the question that follows it. My answer is false.

His:

Dear Sir,
Incorrect.

In Elbrahim We Rest,
Quistarktan

Pt. 3: Who was Egdrish?


I guess I screwed that one up but he's still letting me go to part 3? Hmm, how the heck do we know who Egdrish is?

LoL. After second thought I got to this conclusion as well. And answered it a second time. Shouldn't have... :/

I thought the "you think too much" was criticism. But at least I have the Pt. 3 now. They forgot that the first time.

 		Quite a lot of information uncovered.

Correspondence wrote:
quistarktan: Greetings.
me: And to you.
How goes your search?
quistarktan: Very well.
I am encouraged by the influx of responses.
me: Well, we are a vast network.
quistarktan: Who?
me: ....A society. Not secret.
Friends.
Fans of cryptology.
quistarktan: You are in contact with other applicants?
me: Indeed.
quistarktan: Are you sharing information about my tests?
me: Not really.
Just mentioning the application.
Nothing more.
Fans, but rivals.
quistarktan: You... enjoy pastries?
me: Pastries? Well, depends on the type.
quistarktan: Strudels?
me: Not really.
Eclairs are more my type.
quistarktan: Why must you have strudels?
me: I....musn't?
quistarktan: "Strudel......must have strudel!"
me: Where did you get that particular line?
Oh.
Inside joke.
quistarktan: I see.
me: I apologize, my memory is somewhat....off.
quistarktan: How is the weather in your part of the Urth?
me: It's.....hot.
Dry.
Unpleasent.
quistarktan: ...Hot? Dry? Unpleasant I understand, but it has been a long time since I have experienced hot, dry weather anywhere on the Urth. Of course, I have not explored every region. It's a relative impossibility.
me: Urth? I apologize, I thought you meant the Earth. I have never been to the Urth. Unless this is once again a typo.
quistarktan: Earth! What a silly way to spell it. I must admit your typing mistake caused me to laugh out loud.
me: I'm sorry?
I've never heard a place called the Urth.
quistarktan: Of course you have! Don't be silly!
me: What country of origin are you?
quistarktan: Unless you speak a foreign language and are not familiar with the English spelling.
The UK.
me: Ah.
I myself, am an American.
quistarktan: Then why do you insist on having never heard of your own planet?
me: Well, We call it the Earth across the pond.
Although the pronounciation is more or less the same.
Sent at 1:39 PM on Saturday
quistarktan: Now you're beginning to sound out of your mind. I have many friends from the US, and they all spell it the right way.
me: Well, I guess regional dialects must be different.
quistarktan: I suppose, although in all my extensive research I have never heard of it being spelled... Earth, was it?
me: Indeed.
quistarktan: Tell me, does it drip often where you live?
me: As in, precipitation? Often? No, I'd say it happens occasionally. Not too much.
quistarktan: Yes, it drips very often here. The ceiling must be the bed of an overground river.
me: ...Overground? Sir, what city do you hail from?
quistarktan: London
and yourself?
me: Manalapan. Small suburb south west of New York City.
quistarktan: ah.
I have been to NYC.
A very nice place.
me: A beautiful city, no?
quistarktan: oh yes.
Do you have any questions that I, as the current OES representative, can answer?
me: As of now, no.
Well, there's one.
Although it may seem....somewhat odd.
Well no, not somewhat.
Completely insane, more like.
quistarktan: I prefer inquisitive people.
me: What is the day, month, and year in your area?
Like I said, crazy question.
Documentation purposes.
quistarktan: August 9, 2008. of course.
me: Thank you.
And, you live, underground?
quistarktan: I do not understand the question.
me: Well, you say there is an "overground river". That makes you underground, yes?
Sent at 1:48 PM on Saturday
quistarktan: ...There is still the ground under me, as always. When I mentioned asking questions, I did not realize you would be asking about obvious, basic knowledge.
me: I do not like to assume, shall we say.
Alright. Well, I have a prior arrangement. I must go for now. Good day to you.
quistarktan: good day.

Obviously they live in some alternate universe. Same day, same structure of the Earth. However, different lives. Different spellings.

He's still on. Should I log back on and ask more questions?

You should find out what the ultimate crime was that his forfathers committed. He talked about in his blog. And ask about Elbrahim.

Wormhole? I don't know.

Hart Salamine was communicating to us via Radio, thinking we were dead.

Hart Salamine was communicating to us via Radio, thinking we were dead.

And we even once had a bag of chips communicating with us through the crisps in his foil Smile

If they want to communicate with us they will.

But now: Who is this Egdrish. Saying "one of your predecessors" is not enough.

Really? What ARG was that?

And I'll be sure to ask. He or she or it seems to be a bit quiet now.
