the message is going to be "yo riltia is going to betray you", isn't it :(
To be fair, we already knew that.
which is why it would be disappointing if that was the coded message

technically the 'solution' could mean the way to decode it and not the message

edit: oh, the solution is going to be disappointing, not the reward

Also, I'm not sure how that relates to my post, or the post I quoted.

I think the message is that FFS is too busy having me scream into a microphone to warrens.

Well its not sanic or warrens and I was not told that this is a secret. As far as I know FFS simply didn't post what he's working on to here, if he ever intends to.

Many apologies if in error.

I don't think it was actually a major secret; that teaser image is from a year ago. My last post originally had an invisible :P; I just deleted it when I added the image.

then again, I'm not ffs; maybe he'll fire you for revealing THE MOST SECRET SECRET

i can't see that happening, though

It does seem rather unlikely. I would envision something more along the lines of being sent to work in the dread turnip pits for the rest of eternity...

Actually, it's the workplace's fired, not his. That's why it was taken away.

So basically - IronyOwl mentioned it in one of his amazing canon updates - I'm still working out in the middle of goddamn nowhere and have very little internet access. At least it's blackberry season so everything is amazing for the next 2-3 days. I've been trying to figure out a way to update Warrens stuff via my phone (very difficult), but the most complicated part of the Warrens update process is the constant Internet required - vote counts, uploading images to imgur, clicking preview 9 times and still somehow putting trollal.jpg in the Passive spoiler instead of the party, etc.

I never said it outright but TWoOtA is/was a project born of copious free time. Making a big game update took hours of constant internet access and time fiddling with Adobe Flash + other programs. The sort of sedentary college lifestyle I lead during that time let me is actually what made this game so much fun for everyone -- when a GM can fully immerse themselves in the game, it helps the players do so as well, and that's double true for a play-by-post game with a colossal archive on a popular Internet forum.

When I started TWoOtA, I was basically a kid (18). Now I'm 22 and no longer living a sedentary college lifestyle but working full time through various internships as well as my own company. I also didn't have a lot of interests or hobbies that weren't "computer-related" or dependent on computers, but a year as a sexton in the middle of the woods changed that fast. There's other things I won't mention confounding the situation even more.

It's impossible for me to even think of "dropping" TWoOtA as I've invested so much time in it, dropping all other forum game projects over the years in favor of its continuation (hence the fire irons jokes). At the same time, it's impossible to tell what the future holds for a game like this. Games in general have been slipping away from me for some time -- this is pretty normal for most people as they grow up.

Anyway, the really fun part is that y'all, the community here at Bay12, has stuck with this silly stick figure RPG for so long in different forms. We lost and gained a lot of dedicated readers and players over the years, and who knows how many had a good experience just binging the archive but never posting? It surprised me that so many were willing to catch all the way up and become regular players even as the post count ratcheted up into the thousands. So thank you, everyone, for a good time, regardless of what happens in the future.
