Back to the Island.

TOPICS:
Return to the Island * McNutts rolls from rock * Must Read

Return to the Island.

Your humble servant was about to make his breakfast sandwich, as he, i.e. me, got a breaking message by El Igore (thank you, btw!): the Island is alive again.

I have to apologize to you, my noble readers. I wasn't really able to stay tuned about the Island live. I had many things to do meanwhile, like, you know, my own marriage, and stuff.



But now I am glad to come back to West Unfictionopia and I advice you to follow me. If you haven't did it before I did.



Anyway, here I made some Polaroids to give you an idea of my wonderful travel.




McNutts rolls from rock

But how enormous was my astonishment, as I heard about extremely disturbing news.

The news came from a dude named Wangsley. But let's be nice and respectful to him, because he is kinda new representant of the brave Emperor Harold McNutts. The problem is, Mr. McNutts has disappeared. With all the ferrets. As Mr. Wangsley said first. His second message was pretty more disturbingierly:
Harold T. McNuts is dead. When I went through the video footage, just a few days after he "disappeared," security footage shows Harold and a certain Press Secretary(I think this was a new one) headed for a small helipad on the roof of his mansion. There's a bit of an argument between the two- not sure what about, as there's no audio on the videos, but one thing leads to another, and Harold stormed off. I started flipping through the different cameras and discovered he was heading to the secret harbor via Segway(NOW who drives- drove- a sissy vehicle?) with PS in hot pursuit. When they arrive, there's more shouting, and Harold attempted to throw her off of a cliff into the ocean- but she held onto him. I can only assume the fall killed them both.
Somebody unknown leaked one photo to us, and I cannot really get, what's this. Perhaps it's the scene of the fall from the cliffs.



But we will continue investigations. The case of Mr Krop was also not really easy to understand.

Must Read

Our Mapmaker and Registrar of Deeds, Mapmaker, did great work. He made an application to one event *which-cannot-be-named-here*. And this application contains two great maps:

Island Map
City Map
Twinkieville Application (PDF)

The last document is a great and till now the completest infoctuary about our Island!

Thank you, Mapmaker.

Dear friends, come back to the Island and bring your friends and family here, because we have already the first task:

Rebuilding the Population.

New footage of the crime

The ferrets seem to be the the deliquent, who robbed out our luggage. Now Emperor posted more footage of these outrageous deeds.





Does somebody speak ferrets language? Can somebody please translate the ferrets graffiti?

What the ferret?!

We missed actually one anonymous message actually.

Bombe. XUDY8RA2STDB8NJXL88YMNLKTJUTPZ
GTR2OKY2CZTCPVJH5GKMQ5FYXLHNSMZTLSTD2USXRNZQQ

And... Now I'm really clueless: look at this.



Are these domains meant as "stolen"?
Your ideas?

P.S. We are really happy to found an old Fialka in our storage hall. Actually I thought, it were an old-fashioned printer.

BREAKING NEWS: Stolen luggage!

As Emperor reports,
it appears that shortly before our landing here in West Unfictionopia, someone has broken into and stolen the entire contents of the cargo bay. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers or laying any blame, but with it just being the inhabitants of the island on the ship, the selections for who may or may not have done it are rather limited. I have one photo of the crime scene(attached) at this time, and I'm waiting on the others to develop. I'll be sure to post them with any clues they may offer to us as soon as I have them. Let's try to get to the bottom of this.



Where are our things? And stuff? And all my museum keys?

P.S. Do we see some ferret graffiti? In the "dook"-speak?

A code breaking machine?

Jack is very active. His recent message was following puzzle



"Amazing what you can find in post-Soviet surplus store...
http://three.flash-gear.com/npuz/puz.php?c=v&id=3371069&k=7047830

-'Jack'"

And the solution is:


Now this looks hardly like Fialka (M-125)
This is actually Fialka. So let's decode!

UPDATE.

And using Fialka system... We've got following:

Some corrections by ehm... Anonymous...es.

Dear Anonyms, are your the same one or just two the both?
Our editorial stuff get two responds, and we don't really know, whether they are made by the same person. Perhaps not. Anyway, the first was:
Is not bomb-like. Is bombe-like.

-'Jack'
Bombe is actually a German word for bomb.
UPDATE. It's also a code machine. Like this one.

The second one was:
a note 4 jack:
33.
okudod2vyuaeoroeohr4sslemyctauo
This note seems to be sent by another person as Jack. They are communicating at our channel and our staff is clueless.

Dear readers, what's going on?
Dear Anonymous, who are you?
Do you belong to MrKrop?

We need some coffee...

UPDATE. Thank you, dear non-Jack anonymous, for clarification. Even if we still don't really understand, what's going on here.

And more strange happenings.

We are in contact now! With Anonymous Jack. He send us two puzzles, and we solved it together with our readers.

First puzzle:



And solution:



pushupsindrag2 (aka umbrellakraken) said: The link is to a picture of the Russian flag.
We said: yes, it seems to be one. (Another island perhaps?)

Second puzzle:



And solution:



umbrellakraken said: Solved it. It's a bomb-like contraption, if I'm not mistaken.
We said: Yes, it seems to be... oh, now it looks a little bit ehm... alarming.

Thanks to umbrellakraken for partizipation.

What's going on there?
And what does mean another code?
And what does mean new code, somebody anonymous send us:
Bombe. XUDY8RA2STDB8NJXL88YMNLKTJUTPZ
GTR2OKY2CZTCPVJH5GKMQ5FYXLHNSMZTLSTD2USXRNZQQ
And whether this Anonymous is our Anonymous Jack? Or is he just another Anonymous Anonymous?

A Clue? A Clew? Or rather a "Clue"?

Our editoral office has just got the weird message by an anonymous known as Jack. Well, this anonymous Jack was pretty secretive. So... anyway, here is the message
IHHCRH5JD7BY2BGTFJGY8APGHJEUPX
-'JACK'
If somebody can, please decode it. Our editoral runs out of ideas. And out of employee.

It's travel time!

Our dear Emperor invites us to a travel:

The time for the big move is upon us. That said, it's time to pack up your bags for the island. A few stipulations are in place:

Each person should pack only things they absolutely need. As we all know, no one will abide by this, some will pack things merely for the sake of want. In order to keep down the sheer volume of luggage, I'm asking that you bring with you only 3 items. Of course, food and other essentials will be provided or readily available from our distributors who will stock our markets. Unfortunately, these distributors only arrive annually. Your task is to decide what 3 things apart from food and other provided items you would absolutely have to have with you on the island.

Collaborate with your fellow islanders! No one will be pleased if everyone thought to bring pots and pans for cooking with them, as 70+ sets of cookware are rather unnecessary. Finer points: if you have a favorite article of clothing, bring that particular article. Simply saying "My entire wardrobe" will not suffice. Clothing/uniforms will be provided for you upon arrival(and in various fashions and design), so if you choose clothing, bring only your favorite articles.

Think outside the box! For one year, these three items will be your only personal belongings that you will have from home. Once you've decided what you're bringing, send an email to for inventory purposes. Also, do note that the cruise will be leaving the port on Thursday. Make sure you have your items submitted by Thursday at 5 PM EST when the ship will leave port.


What are your items?

Hurry up, the time is near.

Here are the items, Minister of Art Kosmopol will bring at the island:


1. My favourite pipe



2. A plan to the huge Museum of Arts, with plenty of keys for every islanders (who can enter the museum every time of the day or night to enjoy the beauty of art)



3. An old keyboard, to play in lonely winter nights or on happy big parties.

Chef Editor note:

I'm very sorry for dismissing our stuff. But he overused the exclamation marks too much.

Yours recently sincerely,
chef editor and Minister of Arts Kosmopol.
