The Great Tree

Well, Chris, I'll say this for you, your posts are as vague as the DRC's. LOL

I can't speak for Brian but I don't think you're in any immediate danger of being banned from this forum. It's not like you're crowding us out or anything. You were asked to 'fess up concerning your former status as a Restoration Engineer and you did...you're sticking to your guns and that's fine with me.

Besides, you say we'll learn all once we're back in the Cavern. Okay. I don't need to learn the whole truth in the hallowed halls of the Great Tree. I can wait. I can be patient.

Regarding our potential to hinder your efforts to communicate with the explorer community....particularly this (GT) community....you're speaking but you're not saying anything. If you are open with us you'll find us EXTREMELY receptive. However, if you continue in your present fashion, you may find the opposite is true.

I look forward to meeting you in the Cavern. Hell, I look forward to a lot of things. As always, I await something really interesting....

I hate banning. Honestly there are more fun ways to get someone to stop posting to a forum.

Joking aside, I really don't want you to feel unwelcome, Chris. Sorry about the skepticism, we're just down here wondering our butts off about what's going to happen next. I mean I'm sure you can understand that.

If the DRC are planning something, us Great Treeites should be the first to know about it.

If there's any group willing to keep a skeptical eye on the DRC, it's the Great Tree.

I don't mean to offend or challenge.

The DRC are vague because of ignorance, for the most part. My secrecy is for good reason. Words die soon after their spoken. The written word remains for everyone to see. I would be wise to remain quiet about where I've been and what I've seen until I am within the comforting walls of the Cavern.

I'm sure you'd understand if you knew the circumstances.

Thanks for being patient,
Chris

That's a big if! Are you down in the caverns fairly frequently? My KI is in my sig. I wouldn't mind chatting you up in a more... private environment.

EDIT: I just realized that sounded REALLY creepy.

Well, seeing as how Opportunistic Manipulation Through Specious Fakery is one of the ongoing themes of the Myst mythos (i.e. certain male relatives of Atrus), the opportunistic manipulations of this particular Specious Faker at least are in character....

...sorta?

Chris,

We're not going to ban you. But we're not necessarily going to believe you, either. I'm sure you understand why we have to be so careful.

Everyone else,
Chris is allowed to post here, mainly because I don't like banning people, at least until he says or does anything that either reflects negatively on The Great Tree, or otherwise harms us. I advise you to make up your own minds about what he says.

Just for information's sake, he isn't lying about where he lives. He is indeed posting from California.

Dang, I had forgotten that my KI had changed numbers.

It's currently 00190899. Still trying to get in touch with you underground, Chris.

Brian,
Anchorage, Alaska? I really like it up there, its a nice place.

You speak wise words. I don't expect anyone to believe me as much as I believe them, when communicating by internet. Its a good deal.

By the way... How do you know I'm posting from California?
