Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts. I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper. But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best. Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately.

this is usually a case where someone "way smarter and way more qualified" would be a better pick for sending out news. even though this tells us nothing. i'm not a pessimist, but anytime we should "hope from the best" from these guys, i brace for the worst

favorite color is red because it stands for passion and determination and strength. plus it makes me stand out

[crudest]

whoa that's a really protagonist answer
are you gonna save us all from the impending doom, hero?
it sounds like you're color coded for it

[justchords]

no, because if i'm busy saving everyone else, no one is gonna save me

and i'll need it

[crudest]

that's really honest!
c'mon i'm sure there's gonna be someone out there willing to have your back

[promisedyou]

You say you're not a pessimist, and yet you're bracing yourself for the worst. That sounds pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

[justchords]

no it's being a realist. these people have a track record for messing things up. i don't trust them to keep their word

[promisedyou]

I suppose you're right, but it's not as if they don't clean up their messes. It could be worse.

[pronounces]

then where you brace for the worst, i'll hope for the best! (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ
sometimes we're as opposite as our favorite colors, huh?

[justchords]

you're gonna be real disappointed when everything goes to shit

[pronounces]

*apochin*...
you'll see, it won't be so bad! we'll be able to find a bright side somehow.
if nothing else, at least we get to have all these great adventures together, right?

[dulynoted]

It's a fair assumption based on past experiences.

[justchords]

exactly! it's a trend that happens every month, and a notice like this always goes up, so it's like a warning something is coming

[dulynoted]

Excellent detective work.

[ You know, like pointing out grass is green. ]

What else have you noticed?

[godcards]

Red is a perfectly strong color without all these frivolous ties to "love" and "passion." That's what pink is for. Are you sure that isn't your favorite color?

[justchords]

(says the bitch wearing who's going to wear lavender crop tops.) passion just means you have strong feelings about something, it's not exclusive to love

pink is too soft of a color, anyway

[godcards]

Passion is a soft feeling. So is love.

[ascatic]

Red!
What shade of red?
Anything in particular, or should I pick one at random?

[justchords]

the color of my favorite jacket!

[ascatic]

Ah, I see.
I am fortunate that I do not need to track you down for a color-related question.

[ and he's not scheming or anything, too. ]

[elevelvetor]

it is quite the bold color, isn't it? though you could say the same for all primary colors
regardless,you're likely not wrong to brace for the worst, at least, when it comes to that phrase
but i wonder what could happen
the world turning monochromatic? or perhaps it's going to be covered in paint splatters...
or wherever we touch, our favorite color is left behind
that would make solving crimes quite easy, wouldn't it
or very hard... given how similar the answers have been thus far

[justchords]

bold colors are more of my favorites. they stand out, and i'd like to stand out. in a positive light, i mean

i'm not sure if turning the entire world turning into a coloring book would be actually fun, or one of the most inconvenient things ever. one of those "it sounds better in theory" sort of situations

[elevelvetor]

you're a show-off, are you. someone who loves the limelight, who wishes to draw attention to their every movement...
as an actress, i commend you, but as a person, i wonder how you can stand such a thing, day after day

i suppose we'll have to see, won't we? though i don't believe Retrospec, nor the world at large, listens to suggestions put out by our userbase
even though i have very many important suggestions.

[toobigtohandle]

You do realize the question about color is either meant to distract or asked for ominous purposes and you shouldn't be answering it?

[justchords]

look, if these people have it in their heads to tamper with the world in some way and send it all topsy turvy, i doubt any of us actually answering the questions will have much of an impact on it

[toobigtohandle]

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Our actions do have an impact on what is going on. Or else they would keep asking us to clean up their messes.
