Some new user with a japanese name posted on the Getting More Help thread... Is that you talking to the witch?

In that case, I'd take the same approach as Pixel. Maggy, McGee, etcetera, could all be translations from the kana Magii. Konpurimaato is probably a last name of some sort, but that would be a little hard to decipher.

Another possibility is that these two words might be foreign words not originating from English. For example, the word for microwave is Denshi (in Kanji) Renji in Kana. I'm not sure what language that's from, but it's not English, so Katakana can clearly be used for words adopted from other languages as well as English. Still, I don't know what it would be. As I said, I suck with katakana.

Wrong guy. We're debating the guy who commented on the Witch's blog, not here.

Repeating. Somewhere, someone pointed the connection between LSG in Japanese and this random guy.

You mean THIS: マギーコンプリマート came out to Mr. Swordplay? I don't know a lo of Japanese, but I've picked up enough from my brother to know that that doesn't make sense... It's Katakana...

I'm dumb and I meant the user here who has a Japanese name.

Well, it could always be the same guy...

Pobably more people already tried, but to keep it here:
Translate.Google
マギーコンプリマート -> Maggie compliment Mart

Derp. Google Translate is about as reliable as Monty Python's guide of Belgian-to-English statements.

I know. That's why I'm going manually. But it's not at all time consuming to just check google and get this elephant out of the way.
No progress though... If it is the new japanese user, he/she/godzilla!it could let us know...

I hope the witch likes spambots, because her site is now officially overrun. You know, it would be awesome if these spambots were somehow part of the plot...

First it was Birds. Then it was the plants. Now... Spambots will take over the human race.

It can't be a conincidence... I mean... The witch cliked some suspicious links searching the web for something or someone is trolling her intentionally.

META: The ezblog.co domain is pretty much only for the ARG, there's no way in hell auto spambots would infiltrate a domain with less than a hundred pages and only a few hundred visits per day... I mean, actually it IS possible. But highly unlikely.

Good point. We should probably keep a closer eye on this, at the very least it's somebody like Cheshire taking the mickey.

Okay how about 'FORGET SUBTLETY - DEMAND CHANGE NOW" for the alternative slogan?

Yes. Just yes.

We have the win, gentlemen.

Instead of "economic crisis" wouldn't "country" be better?

Oh indeed we do Please excuse me, I have posters to ever so slightly edit and send to a witch.

I'll try both and send her them, see what the boss thinks.

Not to sound a little overboard but country wouldn't work. Wicked Witch of the West judging by her character type is interested in something bigger than country: The world.

Yeah, but at the minute she's running for President. Little steps an' all.

Agreed, heck America is the only remaining Superpower and it's biggest threat comes from either Russia or... I don't know, the Midele East maybe? Let's give her America before we start thinking of taking on the Kremlin.

China has crap loads of people and the worlds largest economy. I'd say that's also a superpower.

Huh, yes I forgot about China. No matter, they can be considered at a later date.
