Heresy! The internet is everything! Walking has no purpose to a hikikomori!

In all seriousness... just bloody great. Well, someone should probably get on that. I'm certainly not in the line up. Half a continent is a tad too far even if I felt like going outdoors.


Half a continent and no car/money here.

Edit: Also, not to say I told you so, but...

Edit 2: Okay, yeah, that was rude. Not deleting it, though.

Also, $5 says someone completely unrelated to this takes whatever the clue is down before any of us can get to it.

Half a continet? :lol: I am a continent away from that. Even if I could go, I wouldn't.

So totally on it. OK, who knows people in Virginia?

By the way, Mr. A, I left an important message for you under the Holmes section. Could you go look at it?

What do we do? We go to TVTropes forum and ask someone to go there? Well I will let the discussion to you guys. I must sleep. Bye to all. Good night, Mr. Cake.

I'm in Virginia, but I'm in no position to be going to Virginia Beach. Sorry.
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

On the wrong end of the state?

No. I can't go there. I live in Missouri.New Jersey is 17 hours away from Missouri, then add a couple hours to get to Virginia!?. There would be no way I could do that. Maybe in like a year, when I go on vacation.

BY THE WAY, OVER 100 POSTS!

It's a four hour drive from where I am, and I'm not so removed from real life issues that I can invest eight hours or so in something that would cost that much money and effort.

Do you perhaps know somebody near you who would be willing to make that trip?
If everyone would just agree with me, there would never be any problems.

This actually seems like a good plan, to me. Has anyone posted yet? "Looking for TVtropes fans in Virginia" with a brief explanation?

Some family, but none I know well enough to call up and say 'Hey, cousin, can you go down to Virginia Beach to that Neptune plaque and try and solve a riddle for us?' Especially since my family's so damn big, hardly any of us know each other well enough to do something that may well be pointless. We have a picture of the plaque - we just can't figure out the riddle.

Should probably specify the location in more detail. Isla, for instance is too far away, despite being in state.

Again, the riddle does NOT specify the plaque. Merely the fish which is pointing towards it.

*deadpan* Gee. That makes me feel so much better. I feel all warm and cuddly inside now that you've cleared that up.

I've already joined, I just don't tend to wave my membership card around. Only when I'm particularly annoyed.
