[OpAphid][SPEC] Aphid Emails: Discussion

Post by ravensgrace »

Please update your post with a screenshot. We trust you, but OpAphid has confirmed we are going to see disinformation. Best to nip it in the bud from the start, and make it a habit.

People are now underestimating how some might be tested. Only a day or so ago they were overestimating that such an event would occur without even listening to the message instructing them on how to handle such a situation.

The test will come, regardless. All this time, the only delay has been the complete lack of indication that any of you would pass.

It's a pity, but I welcome to the surprise. Hopefully the first few won't spoil it for those who follow. In this case, each triumph, as well as each failure, should be earned.

And you should really all be discussing these things in a public forum. I like to keep an eye on you--and it's not fair for the rest of the class to have the smartest students in their own little club house. Some knowledge should be shared, after all.
Soooo how does this affect the IG/OOG dynamic? The PM has declared this board IG but migrating to UF doesn't seem possible given the tiny overlap of players and loyalty to this site.

In Game / Out of Game

Unfiction as in the Unfiction Forums.

Sorry about that. When I'm overly...alert shall we say, I get caught up in acronyms.
IG is In Game
OOG is Out Of Game
UF is UnForums

UF has a handy rule where, while Puppet Masters can read the boards to make sure people aren't too lost and may need new hints, they can not post to the board as the characters or allow their characters to have read from the board. That way, in games where there are characters on both sides of a conflict, the players can keep secrets, stratigize and play as double agents.

I was under the impression that she was speaking about some of us discussing the topic in IRC rather than here in the forums. That's why a thread was opened and we moved the discussion.

I though that too...I think that it is ok for us to discuss these things in IRC, but I also think it is very important to document our findings in the forum. Btw, I got a reply from Op, but I don't know how to take a screencap. Can anyone tell me?

That part makes sense (and boy am I glad that you guys are posting to the forum as well. Grad school suXX0rs) but the keeping an eye on us part could make situations wonky for those who are declaring themselves fair game but still helping us solve puzzles.

There may be a better way but I click the print screen key (prt sc on some) and paste that into paint, crop, save, upload to a photobucket type account, and then post.

Screencaps can be easily faked, too. A simple way to do it would be to save the webpage and directly edit it in a text editor, then open your edited version back up in a web browser. It would take about three minutes.

So you don't need waste your time (and everyone's bandwidth) with screencaps.

Wit Luv2Luvem's message is clear thet the protection of the order is a component of the instruction. What else can be missing?

God that just gave me the shivers! No, I really don't think this is going in that direction.
