Should we keep talking about Random here or make a new thread?

Anyway, Anthrax - thank you!! That's exactly what I was looking for.

The problem NOW is that this still doesn't make sense.

The sentence in question is omitted from Random's 1st speech in silvia files. That's when they're talking about whomps. Something left a huge footprint; they think it might be a machine; Scratch says he's leaving; Texel says "the spike seems to have left everything unscathed"; wsg says "plate of tomatoes for malloc". Right after that Random says (and here I assume that what he says is really what he DOESN'T say, i.e. the omitted sentence): "aggressive party defies triumphantly". Lol... I think he might as well say blahblahblah.

Nobody seems to respond to him. He makes his next comment about the intense spoon later, but nobody seems to respond to that either.

Which does not, imo, mean that he just says random nonsense. Omni gives all of these images that look quite random as well, but they understand them, and say "Omni was right". Besides, why hang out with a guy that never says anything that has a meaning?

Maybe I was wrong and the key is not the omitted sentence. The name of the software is RoboPoet. They are guessing that what left the footprint was "robot", "not human", "machine". Maybe he's just agreeing with that (I do, however, see the flaws in that theory)...

This would have fit right in with the Big Mac files as it pretty much describes what went on there
- OK not actually a spoiler, but I figured it only relevant to people who were reading spoilers so posted it this way Very Happy


Well, yes, it would fit perfectly. So it's unfortunate that the poem was actually part of the Silvia files... unless our talented friend Random can travel through time... Wink It kinda fits the conversation anyway, since they're all talking about the whomp... but yeah, it would fit better in BigMcLargeHuge. Darn.

[Edit] Oh, good, yanka took out the spoiler tags... Very Happy

I think Random may be referring to Scratch's post a few above him:
Quote:
if i could grab my nuts and sing falsetto, i'd croon like all the rest about what a freaking hero you are. oooooh, caesar! you know the CLASSICS! yer so cool! can i be like you? how many books do i have to read?

i'll be the guy over here, having FUN.

-scratch


So Random goes, "Aggressive party defies triumphantly." Er...either he's agreeing with Scratch or he's just making a sarcastic observation...
And yes, shouldn't this get its own thread in the Puzzles forum?
[Puzzle] Random.ypt? I mean, it's definitely a puzzle...


[Edit] Ok, how about another generator? I attached the code for the Rafi generator that Random used twice. I know there's no missing line, but maybe Random changed something... I'd do it myself, but I'm not really sure what Anthrax did, heh. I mentioned my lack of ability at programming, right? Very Happy
