*Lights up and takes a drag*

Its all a numbers game you see. Numbers and letters. Of course, you'd never notice it, unless you knew... and even then... you'd be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.

[violet], the only member of the heirarchy with a "V" in her name. Maybe preserving this unique status was why "Yavin" was stripped of modship.

The SLAGLands recently relieved himself from the position of moderator also. Or did he...? The SLAGLands: 12 letters. NationStates, 12 letters. Maybe, just maybe, someone was beginning to notice something.

*takes another drag*

Not that convincing is it? Well, lets see what you think after this

We all know that threads get locked at 65 pages, but does anyone know why?

The first five mods on the sticky.
Reploid Productions 18 letters
Melkor Unchained 15 letters
Neutered Sputniks 16 letters
Scolopendra 11 letters
Enodia 6 letters
Total: 66 letters

66 letters, so close, and yet, not quite.

BUT
The Admin and the first three mods on the sticky.
[violet] 8 letters
[dredd] 7 letters
Reploid Productions 18 letters
Melkor Unchained 15 letters
Neutered Sputniks 16 letters

Total: 64 letters

Ahha! 64 and 66, well isn't that strange? Average them out, and what do you get? 65!

*stubs out butt, lights another one*


I'll leave you to figure this one out yourselves

They were afraid of conspiracy theorists throwing out wild accusations that, although untrue, damage the reputation of all parties involved. You people... er... we... can't accept the truth anymore, always questioning what we... er... the powers that be... tell you.

Roswell was just a weather balloon. But, when the rumors started up, we kept them going. It wasn't worth the effort to dispel them, and it even managed to distract a few people from what was really going on.

Gentlemen, I hasten to assure that after in depth research by my region, there is apsolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that the mods are forming a conspiricy. They are merely decent people trying to do a difficult job. Even if they do make the occasional mistake requiring a region wide rebellion to bring about an acceptible solution. We don't hold it against them. Why should anyone else?
13-12-2003, 21:59
The real question is, have SalusaSecundus and Kevin Bacon ever been photographed together in the same place? In a photograph that wasn't an obvious forgery, I mean. You could see in the last one pretty clearly where they photoshopped Bacon's face over somebody else's.

That is impossible. If you where involved you would never admit it. But on the other hand you know that we know that you would never admit if you where involved so you just admit that you where involved to make us believe you lie and we think that you are not involved. This is really tricky. But this time you met your master. I have solved the riddle. You are no other than Professor Moriarty (or may be Dagobert II)!!!

You damn fool. The commitee agreed never to divulge all this information until we had all the dirt on the mods, you agreed between cigarettes and after coughing for several minutes, joined us in the ritual scrotul blood-letting. Number 66 has now received orders to eliminate you. As for the vile SalsuaSecondus, number 666 has found that RX-ray analysis reveals a facial structure not unlike Michael Jacksons. Janet has been taken into custody for 'questioning'. Earlier, you applied your nicotine stained fingers to the XR6 keyboard to ask for any info on the hideous Sputnik. Take this no further but I have posted before, relating how he is a misfit from the old KGB. I received death threats from him shortly after and will say no more. I have T-Grammed you with details as to collect a one-way ticket to Brazil. Act quickly S.M. Number 66 cannot be contacted so I assume he is very near to you. Good luck old boy.
