How did you answer the Egdrish question? He didn't like my answer. :-/


I didn't exactly answer, per se. I asked how much information he wanted about Egdrish, and he replied:
quistarktan: The end of the question is not to reveal information to me about Egrish, but about yourself.

He confirmed that he is monitoring this chat, and stressed the importance of not leaking information, which is why I'm iffy about posting our chat in full. (Don't want to be a bad recruit...)

However, I seemingly 'passed' after I said this:

me: I feel, however, that I've exhausted my resources searching for Egdrish, at least the ones that came to me off the top of my head.
quistarktan: Very good. You have passed each phase beautifully. There is little chance you will not be chosen now.


Oh come oooooooon, it's not like he'll fire you! The other 2 top choices were also uFer's so I doubt he cares that much.

I second that motion!


I third that motion which I....originally started O.o


Anyways, Trustiva, what was your answer?

And what answer did you give, Charesh(too lazy to type your full username=P).


My answer to pt. 3:

Quote:
Dear Madam,
Guesses are not what we are looking for. We value research and deduction.
In Elbrahim We Rest,
Quistarktan

Egdrish seems to be one of your predecessors. A (former) member of the OES.

He did recruiting just like you did.


After the news on Caresh I wrote back and they wrote:

Quote:

Dear Madam,
Your services are no longer needed. Thank you.
In Elbrahim We Rest,
Quistarktan

Please don't confuse my research with guessing.

So what was the pleasing answer then?

They seem to want a one-player ARG. Dunno

And with the news on monitoring our board here they actually broke the rules. This board doesn't exist for them.

 		Okie doke, hope this doesn't get me in trouble.. Razz It is on the long side...

Edit: Sorry, just wanted to get it up here... cleaned it up a bit to help with reading through it.


Quote:
me: Hello..
quistarktan: greetings.
me: I'm curious about your most recent question. You ask who Egdrish was. Just how much information about this elusive forefather are you seeking?
quistarktan: Excuse my tardiness in reply.
me: Not a problem.
quistarktan: The end of the question is not to reveal information to me about Egrish, but about yourself.
me: That statement is on the confusing side, but I appreciate the information all the same.
quistarktan: The confusing side is often the best side to be on, madam.
me: Very, very true.
quistarktan: I know, that was my reason for making the statement.
me: So perhaps you can answer this, perhaps you can't... but was Egdrish indeed a forefather or founder of OES?
quistarktan: He was an immense help to us long ago, yes.
me: Does the OES keep detailed records of its history? Should I ever be accepted as a full member, I would be greatly interested in learning more about this great organization.
quistarktan: The records are so detailed, only a true fanatic could ever read them all. I have read them all. OES members are required to read them all.
me: I've been known to display a certain level of fanaticism when certain things truly interest me, myself. Does that mean that all OES members are fanatic about the organization, if they are required to read them?
quistarktan: If they were not fanatic, they would not be suitable.
me: Excellent.
quistarktan: You are now #1.
me: I'm quite honored.
quistarktan: The third phase of evaluation is final.
me: Did another applicant discover Egdrish's identity?
quistarktan: No.
I did not say it was finalized. It is the last phase.
me: Oh. Please forgive my misunderstanding.
quistarktan: You are forgiven.
me: Thank you.
I feel, however, that I've exhausted my resources searching for Egdrish, at least the ones that came to me off the top of my head.
Sent at 1:06 PM on Saturday
quistarktan: Very good. You have passed each phase beautifully. There is little chance you will not be chosen now.
me: I am very hopeful that I am indeed chosen. Knowledge excites me and drives my search for meaning.
quistarktan: Very good.
Are there any questions that I, as current representative of OES, can answer for you?
me: Approximately how old is OES? Is it global or concentrated in one country or continent?
quistarktan: It is older than we know. It is global.
me: Very interesting. Also, are you able to discuss the ultimate crime mentioned in your blog? I understand if this is sensitive information and will question you no further if you may not answer.
quistarktan: Suicide.
me: I wondered if that was perhaps it, especially with the mention of anti-depressants shortly after.
me: Is the Mr. Perot you mentioned a poet?
A published poet, that is.
quistarktan: I do not beleive he is published under his own name.
me: Ah, a nom de plume then. Interesting.
me: I know there must be other applicants for such an exciting position.. what will happen to them once one is chosen?
quistarktan: Since this is not a game...
They must not know what I discuss with the recruit afterwards.
me: That's completely understandable.
quistarktan: I am very serious when I say that. I understand you are communicating with them about the applications. It is important that no information leaks out. If it does, people could discover things they are not meant to know. This could result in curiosity, which would involve them in things beyond the scope of their intended purpose on Urth.
me: There is a reason I have not disclosed our communication thus far. While an application with no real information or substance is trivial, real Knowledge is precious and dangerous. I don't intend to share without full permission.
quistarktan: Very well.
I must be very careful about leaks. They have happened before in the past. This is why I asked the question about killing.
me: I understand.
quistarktan: Do you have any other questions? Are there any statements I have made or omissions that have confused you?
me: I don't think I'm confused by any statements or omissions at the moment. I would like to know if you may disclose any information about Elbrahim to me...
quistarktan: The symbol is mysterious to all of us. Let us hope some semblance of information remains about it.
"In Elbrahim we rest our hopes of ever discovering the Truth." - Egdrish
me: Do you feel there is a way to uncover more information about the symbol? It seems the information may have been lost or at least hidden...
If it is mysterious to even one such as yourself..
quistarktan: I am only a humble member of this great society.
me: Well my knowledge of the society pales in comparison to what yours must be and will be in the future, so to me, you are a great source of Knowledge.
quistarktan: I am only a conduit, Charesh.
quistarktan: I do hate to brag.
me: Charesh? And I understand, though a conduit is still important. Perhaps the most important part of a circuit, for without the conduit, the ultimate goal would never be reached.
quistarktan: You mean you have not heard the good news? I have written about it.
me: Oh my.
Thank you very much.
quistarktan: It is not me you should thank. It is the rules you should thank, and your innate ability to pass our evaulation with flying colors.
me: Excellent.
I'm very excited to see where I'm taken from here.
I'm curious... am I allowed to reveal my identity as the recruit to the other applicants? Or should I remain anonymous..?
quistarktan: It matters not, as long as you do not reveal information about OES or the Truth itself.
me: Alright.
quistarktan: Oh dear
me: ?
quistarktan: I have just recieved terrible news
me: What news?
quistarktan: ...I will let you know soon
this is beyond both of us
me: Okay, understood. Until then, I will be vigilant.
quistarktan: thank you, colleague.
i must go now..
goodd day
i am sorry, my hands are trembling
me: I hope whatever it is resolves itself soon... until we next speak, good bye.
quistarktan: good day

 		The plus side of that terrible news is that he won't see your post here for a bit. So you're safe for now, Charesh.

Laughing Good! Sorry if I'm clutzy with the whole forum thing, I usually lurk. Actually posting things and making them look good takes a bit longer for me. Razz

Indeed. And considering it's one man, I doubt he WOULDN'T want us to know.

Anyways, probably something of a shism will happen, and we'll all be allowed to play. I doubt this will stay one man for long. Although congrats on winning, 'Charesh". lol
