Hey there. Cycreim pointed this out to me via Ki last night it was posted on the DRC Forum (http://www.drcsite.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=431) by numinous:

Oh my!

Numinous has left a small puzzle which leads to a very interesting Ki shot.
Go to the link above.

The puzzle is fairly simple and the pay off is worth it.

If anyone just wants a link I can post it if you really really want.
Potentially interesting times ahead.

This wouuld seem to conflict with the information Cycreim received from Nick White, wouldn't it?

It would, which is one of the reasons I've decided to treat this with only cautious optimism. Although DRC have rules about impersonating members of the restoration don't they? You'd think that they would restrict the names a person can register a Ki under.

Well, I know at least one other person has used the name Douglas Sharper outside of the Cavern. He was good enough to change it later on when people pointed out that he shouldn't be doing that, but if one can, others certain can as well.

What was Sharper's ki handle? I don't remember. I know the DRC folks don't often their full name. For instance Phil's was "phend" in lowercase letters like that, or "vlaxman", or just "Marie".

Marten, you mentioned this conflicts with info from Nick? I must have missed something, what did he have to say about Douglas?

If I remember rightly the word in the 'hoods was that Nick was saying we shouldn't expect Sharper to re-appear any time soon.

And in the old chat logs Sharper goes by his full name. Unlike me. I've been going for the DRC stylee for a few years now Razz

Edit- Slaying a typo demons

Daniel is correct. Cyc spoke to Nick White a few weeks ago, and Nick said that we should not expect Douglas to return anytime soon.

This topic was discussed at the Great Tree meeting on March 11. Here is the chat log of the relevant portion.

I find myself getting sucked back in. Shocked

Even if "Doug" turned out to be an imposter.. I'd sure like to ask him a question.
