I would hope so, but it all seemed to happen so fast that I can't rule out a "knee-jerk" reaction.

Glenn's the best storyteller this tale has ever seen. To get rid of him is bad for the game and very bad for the story over all. Every attempt at a puzzle by the creators has been torn apart within an hour. They will need extensive help to make it work out without him.

Torn apart when Glenn is giving them the answers that is...

Just FYI, I don't go in the IRC, and I got the answer without it handed to me. Saffryn did too.

Did it? People have said they've known for weeks. Maybe the creators have known for longer, too. They are lawyers and they have a contract with Glenn, after all. I think a lot of knee jerk reactions are going on everywhere.

This in no way proves that I was given answers.

It puts a new spin on things. This is why I trust the creators decision...they've seen more than us...and I'd assume things like this...AND things in defense.

Doesn't matter. A new PM in OpAphid will ruin it. End of discussion. NO ONE can take it over and keep it good.

Yeah as Xry said, I managed to get it on my own, I never show up anymore in the IRC (because when I was telling people how I was coming up with the code, they said it wasn't allowed) I used brute force and a multiple CPUs of processing time. I was told that we weren't allowed to "Brute force" the password because the PMs didn't like it, so I played the game by myself.

I don't...know who Glenn is, nor has he ever talked to me, nor has anyone given me any hints. I barely read these forums and I stopped going into the IRC.

I agree, Glenn is OpAphid. without him there is no story, no characters, no ARG. If Glenn goes I will no longer follow "OpAphid."

Where have I stated that there should be a new PM? Nowhere. I actually said they'd be better off scrapping the ARG, did I not?

Same for me dear. Thank you for chiming in.

Give it up already... The more you guys all LIE to defend yourselves the worse off you are... seriously... The point is not that you got the answers... ANY of us would love inside info... The fact you guys fed into it and then didn;t tell anyone it was hapenning or where the info was from is the bad part... and you never should have had that info if it were not for the PM...

Funy that "Brute force" is not ok but "Inside Information" is no big deal...
