Just read the timeline, people. It's all there.

Right, Adell already answered this, but since I was the subject of this particular post, I think I'll have a crack at it as well.

1. This is admittedly kinda nitpicky, but I never actually said ARG. Last I checked, the term we were using to describe the non-fictional participants in this whole crisis was "players". rEALITYeNDS used the term as such, so I decided to as well.

2. You're ignoring the point of my complaint. I'll try to spell it out for you: last I checked, stuff like "travels to the other side" and whatever you were saying about fighting the monster's minions? Not exactly the kind of thing that would happen in real life. Now, if you were from the other side of the wall, I'd buy that, but it looks to me like you think of yourself as nonfictional. For all intents and purposes, that means you're a perfectly normal human being, as far as powers go.

3. Yeah, I'm letting my anger seep into this. Sorry about that- no, really- but I just don't like it when people try to insert themselves into stuff like this and say they have special powers or knowledge of really important behind-the-scenes stuff that other people don't. I used to act like that too, in fact, and the rest of whatever group I was in tended not to take it well. Not exactly the sort of thing I like to think back on. >o<

3. Yeah, I'm letting my anger seep into this. Sorry- I mean it- but I just don't like it when people try to insert themselves into stuff like this and give themselves special powers or knowledge that give them too much control over the story. I used to do that sort of thing too, in fact, and everybody hated on me for it- especially me, whenever I'm reminded of it.

Seconded. Again, kayfabe.

Hey man don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone goes through a trolling phase when they start the internet, it is what we are when we decide to stop posting troll stuff that matters. And as far as I can tell you are good as gold. Also yes I am dedicating a post here to help someone feel less bad. I started the topic, and I am crazy. So yeah

I think we can all agree the Monster On The Other Side (TM) is not, in face, some random dude on the internet.

In an effort to try to get this thread back on track, I will think up a new query. Could the monster on the other side be any of the characters we've already seen or heard about in Joe's videos? I'm trying to think if any of them match the cat's description.

I covered this previously, but I will re-post it:

I trust the Administrators as far as I can throw em. Good thing I'm STRONG as HELL. I can throw FAR. #collegefootball #Iwastheball

I'm in too much of a hurry at the moment to do a total breakdown analysis, but I would say that the most likely option is probably that Gurt is telling us that, for the moment at least, this is off track. The way he answered seems to imply that while there may very well be something going on on the other side of the wall, we are trying to deal with it at the wrong time in the 'plot' as it were.

My personal opinion is that, at the current time, we lack enough information to proceed down this path, and as Gurt's responses indicate, Mr. A and the higher ups don't want to provide it yet. The cat is quite obviously hinting at something, and it wouldn't be a waste of time to keep chatting with him to see how much he is willing to divulge, but for the moment I think we have reached the limits of this theory. As soon as something comes up in the main 'plot', we should probably shelve things temporarily.

The best thing to do for now is go to work on other stuff, and, when the time comes to look into this part of the recent events, start a new thread devoted to it.

Oh, yeah, you''re right.

Could we get this thread locked until then?

On it.
