i notice, in fFact, sente is almost always called sente. We are given to assume the picture on last week's issue is sente himself, so it would be an incorrect assumption to think sente is a she (as had been speculated upon endlessly in the past) But it might be reasonable to suggest some asexual cultural thing - there is no Mr. or Mrs. Either it's a linguistic difference, or a biological difference.

Pure speculation.

I think my definiton of 'sic' may be skew . . . I took what I read to be that the letter writer was using "Mr. Kiteway" because it fit the context, but that it acknowledges that the noun may go by another name to other people. It seemed weird is all. We had Spec about S = Sente, and who knows whether that is true - it just seemed extra, so I thought it was important.

One thing though, perhaps "Sente" is another name for "master of the academy," much like cleric can loosely be interpreted as pastor, aka church-guy.

Personally, I think time travel is happening all over the place for Academy researchers, and that S Marchant is also Sente, but it;s the name he had in another time.

I'll trade my Spec for 70 Leck.

I wrote that letter actually, and I'm sure they [sic]'d the use of "Mr." when it should have read "Master Kiteyway" -- as he's referred to in other press.

Funny, they didn't [sic] the second "Mr. Kiteway" I used in the last paragraph.

I guess we should refer to him as "Master Kiteway" or just use his last name.

Again I am showing my ignorance of English, but I know it is practiced style that one might mention a noun (or something) one way once - then not do so again because one has impacted the reader's mind already - or something like that.

If I mention a Big Company Name (BCN) I might put the initial in parenthesis and then just refer to it as BCN from here on out. I have also seen writers italicize the word each time it appears after the first time.

Anyway, I think it's very cool that you got published in/on another dimension. I take it you got the Auto-Responder, but nothing more?

If they edited your letter with "[sic]" does that mean publication style 'demands' that it be used because you didn't type out his full, proper name? I guess it;s nothing hten at that point.

I had thought the PMs wrote that letter and were dropping a hint that Sente has more than 1 name.

I guess that means I have to think about the 24 digit number - whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Speaking of that horrid 24 digit number-- has anyone finished converting it to base 3 yet? I started, but couldn't find a program to do it, and honestly, was doing it freehand to kill some time at work-- then got busy so didn't finish.... and realized even if I got a string of 0, 1, and 2's I didn't know what do do with it anyway.

I'm still amazed at the quantity of sushi and eel and cucumber roll refernces. Or was it just the PM was writing the "Futures" over lunch?

lol

here's a silly bit of spec. Both the pictures used to illustrate the top stories in the Sentinel have been cartoons. Are we dealing with some strange cartoon alternate reality? Why don't people in Perplex City use/take photographs?

It could be something to do with photo copyright issues and external editions of the Sentinel, or maybe photography is banned in PPC? (Was it the native americans that evaded photography as it was said to capture their soul?)
I'm more inclined to say its a deliberate measure by the PM's. Perhaps using real photos would give too much away, or reveal too much of the environment. Cartoons and pictures leave more to the imagination.

Up until a few years ago at least the Wall Street Journal didn't use photos (or even color) on the front page. So it's unusual to not use photos, but not unheard of.

don't remove the pennames. a good pm would possibly incorporate them. simply mention that they are pen names of unfiction people. no sweat. as for the cartoons, for sente, who knows, but for corrola, a lot of courtrooms dont allow cameras. so proffesional artists make drawings of the scenes. you see it a lot at high profile trials where cameras were banned.

The line in question:
Quote:
In 107 the Vanguard and the Sentinel merged, although the Vanguard name was swiftly dropped from the masthead.

But nowhere in the history does it state that the Vanguard was the only other paper in town, just that it was the biggest paper in town. And that was over 150 years ago. More than enough time for another paper to get going. Also, the Madame Bianca letter states that
Quote:
The Perplex City Sentinel is now the only newspaper or magazine in the city that publishes Futures

which implies that, at the current time, at least, there are other newspapers and magazines in town.

they do take photographs and the sentinel uses photographs one of the ads that loads on the sentinel is a photograph of a person.
