For anyone who wants to read it, here is the account of how Bob was healed yesterday. I have the original unedited log for those who would like it.

For the sake of clarity of some behind the scenes questions: 1) - The quest is already running. 2) - You cannot get rewarded if you do not PM me to sign up. Z

@ BW: -It doesn't matter if you are new or old, in fact new people may have an advantage...that's if they can work out what they have to do...I cannot tell you how or why you will or won't find any character. @Dst: - What is written in the first post, is all the rules. If something isn't there, it isn't a rule. Employees have extra rules that arn't here obviously. Consider the first post here, the quest release, like a maze of patterns and clues as to how and why you should do things or not do things in your beginings. Z

This is not a quest for the light hearted. I’m going to take you on a journey, well, you will take yourself. I will just give you some arrows. It will not be easy, it will be confusing, it will not be clear – and I preface this with the following: [u]Instructions[/u] The first 6 people to apply for the quest will be called “Keystones”. The Keystones will automatically have all information others have to search for. The rest of the participants are called Footstones. Keystones should focus on Footstones, but can choose to focus on Keystones if they so wish. Footstones must focus on Keystones and a focus on a Footstone will be irrelevant on completion. I will not be releasing information on who is who. You may work in groups, but if you do, it may put you at a disadvantage. Keystones and Footstones may tell people they are working on this quest if they so wish, but to do so may put you at a disadvantage. Quest “employees” MUST NOT ever tell anyone openly what their title is and are not permitted to work in groups if they choose to participate. They are also exempt from keystone status. The are not to give any information what-so-ever to keystones, but they will not be aware of who the keystones are – not by my hand in any event. The purpose of the quest is to gather your information and attempt to discern what it means as a unified whole. Obviously this means the more information you have the better…in theory…. Once you figure this out, you must take the required action you feel the information is pointing you towards. The reason this quest will run until September is because it is quite confusing and requires you to grasp new concepts and do your research on possible meanings. I fully expect most people to give up or get annoyed. [u]Gathering Information:[/u] The more accidents you make, contacting the wrong people in trying to find these characters – the more issues you will have at a later date. It will also count against you in the final reckoning. So be careful. [b] The Key Keeper[/b] – Will show you the way. Is a split personality, depending on which personality you talk to you will get different information. You should attempt to find this one first. Has 3 pieces of “required” information, but will only give you two of them. Also has another piece of documentation. Depending on the personality this will consist of five or three parts, they will give you no more than two – and only when they feel you warrant it. Some like to talk to hear themselves speak, others offer their hand in hopes of friendship. my mouth moves to acquire information, my hand extends to receive a coin. My associates are out of necessity. Our meeting born out of selfish desires. I am generally attracted towards are those who are logical, conscience, rational, well spoken, and generally those who aren't sarcastic, or of idiotic behaviour. Having once been an idiotic, sarcastic person I now tend to realize that being like that is not the way to rationalize and to talk to people. I rather now converse with people of a more mature nature and who can logically conceive ideas, and question reality. [b]The Code Master[/b] – Is a split personality, depending on which personality you talk to you will get different information. Each personality has 2 sets of intel. Both sets have 4 pieces of information, and the code master will only give you two from both (so four total) I prefer to be with those who I can trust. Those who do not deny who they are, or what they are, on the inside, and out. I enjoy the company of people who are easy-going, moderately intelligent and modest, even if it is only a little. People who are very stressed out are always busy. I can deal with dumber people, usually, but it gets on my nerves. Too much modesty annoys me, but too little is fine, usually. [b]The Riddle Glass[/b] – Be careful how you approach him for he can give you a clue so large it could topple buildings or a clue so confusing you will get lost in it. Has two pieces of information, and will only give you one. Also has secondary documentation consisting of five parts. He will only give you two. Curiosity. Those that are curious are interesting and fun to have around, and those that will do something, but not for a reward only. I quickly tire of those that need a reward to do something, be it a quest, or a favour. Finally, those that can think for themselves, not having me to explain things that they should know if they just thought about it for two seconds. [u] The Reckoning[/u] The final part of the quest is the reckoning. PM me and tell me all the information you have collected, how you got it, what it means as a unified whole and what action you took as a result of your findings - and why it worked, or didn’t. If you worked in a group please only the head of the group send me the information along with a list of participants and their actions. You need to also tell me why the things I have said will put you at a disadvantage are disadvantageous and if you chose to do them, why you did and how you overcame those difficulties or how you used them to your advantage instead if you managed to. Alts are not permitted. Each individual or each individual in any group has only one chance to give me their final answer. Be prepared I will probably then grill you on what you have said. The only help I will give you on your journey is a bibliography. Which parts of said bibliography I give you will depend on what your response is to what I ask when and if you ask me for it. You may not ask for this until after July 25th. [b]DO NOT SIGN UP HERE. PM ME.[/b] Anyone signing up here will automatically be a footstone and may disadvantage themselves. If you want to ask any questions you can do so here, but I will only answer where they will not jeopardise the purpose of the quest. Feeling a little dazed and confused? You’re supposed to be. Good luck to those that have the bottle. Z (nearly forgot.... Rewards: 5WPs to be distributed to those who demonstrate they solved the most, pieced together the concept best and understood the information enough to use it effectively Possibly some other rewards.

I think the whole thing was great old man bunny. Really nicely done concept. Z

I think he means, say you left the ITC at a location as if you had "dropped a coin" Then separately you wanted to pay someone for something, but you wanted the "dropped coin" to remain active until someone picked it up. Z

Applications have been processed. If you didn't hear back from me, you weren't chosen. I appreciate all applications I received, thanks very much. Can be closed. Z

I am about to launch a new quest. I require three people to "work" for me. You must be available enough that you check your PMs at least once a day and you must be easy to find and contact ( as in, not always in necrovion etc). You will be hired to work until Mid September and you will be paid one Gold Coin at the end of this period. If you wish to help, you must NOT tell ANYONE that you are applying or have any involvement in the quest and must PM me. You will be given limited information in order to fulfill your job. You will still be able to participate in the quest, but by taking this job you will be at an automatic disadvantage. If you make any comment on this thread what-so-ever, you will automatically have voided your application. Z

Well this is interesting, if i had a mass of wps i might even say exciting, but i dont so i wont Items from ye Technomage sound ...extra... expensive, I assume the quality is to match? Z

Happy B'day Darrrrrigan Z

Happy B'day muffin man Z

I appreciate that post Tarq, in many different ways. Also agreed - not impossible, but true can be difficult all the same no doubt. Z

I never said you shoudn't speak up, in fact I just told you to speak up. I just suggested you do it in the right topic so as not to derail this any further than it already is. The reaosn "I" replied, is because you directed it generally at everyone, if you wanted to be specific perhaps you should have been. But sure, carry on as usual, why not. Z

Its not a crime, but its totally off topic and an over-reaction(just like that was) and just exhaserbates a situation that is for all intent and purpose unnecessary. If you want to comment about how people comment on quests, start a new thread, don't hijack mine for some moral crusade. Sorry if that's harsh. and..."if that's a crime, neg rep me again"...come on. What is this? Knee kicking time? If you really think what you say is a valid point (and I believe a number of people would agree with you) then start a topic to discuss it, I'd be happy to see that. I'm not happy to see another post that is offtopic and emotionally evocative however. Especially after the thread had died down and the situation was pretty clear. If you have something to say on the actual question at hand, I would love to hear it. Z

If you read the very first post wasn't directed at the quest itself and picking it apart, but I did have to write it in a certain way to cover all the previous objections raised in the original thread. Unfortunately by the second post it was taken that way and then off it went for certain individuals. Some of us are still [i]trying[/i] to stay on topic though. Nobody has said the quest wasn't fun, nobody has said the quest shouldn't have happened - so don't tell me because we want to discuss an issue surrounding it that affected and affects everyone in the game, that that means we think it was a crap idea. Some people don't like discussion and debate because they don't like conflict. I am sitting here, attempting, to help you avoid future conflicts of a certain kind. A substantial number of people have been offended by the lack of consideration given via the process of killing via an item that is currently mechanically possible - that much should now be obvious. The response, on the whole from the other side has been "I don't care, it's possible, it's allowed, so I'll do it." Now unless the reason that point is being ignored is because of some obvious chess move I won't comment on, there is no reason for anyone to be puffing up their feathers and throwing their rattles out of the pram saying we are trying to do something we arn't. The discussion has demonstrated a 50/50 split in opinion that appears to be irresolvable, which means repercussions in the future. There isn't really anything else to be said now that I can see. Z
