Maurice was going to do this, but Maurice sucks so I sent him home before he could. Anyway, some of you may have noticed our new poll feature! We just don't have the time and resources to cater to all your "where is x item, what the fuck" complaints, so we had to streamline. The polls were the result of that! Coded them myself. I mean, Maurice did some of it, but I did most of it. So basically we're democratically crowd-sourcing what we're going to bother to fix for you! You can send thank you notes to the building, HR doesn't mind. So far it seems like you all care about the color blue most, so we fixed it! A little, anyway. I suggest a bracing walk through the woods if you particularly missed the color and don't feel like gazing deeply into a hobo's eyes. You've all been reading up on QR codes, right? You might also want to learn to start a fire. Just a tip. Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As per the World Regains tracker, fruits and flowers that were once blue are once again blue. This includes the echo flowers in the Recollé woods! NPCs seem to be incapable of seeing this color still, however, and will not note any differences. The color does not seem capable of being transferred to anything else, either, and any attempts to do so will simply fade the color of the thing you were trying to use to do that.

From what I have seen of Jim? Yes, but I don't know that this is why the others are involved. There is a possibility that he was not the force behind deciding to do this in general.

[sotenbori]

I guess it just seems too simple

[true_noir]

Which is why it would make more sense if someone else is in charge and this is simply Jim's motivation. Normally, you would think that this much effort would be for more reason than humor. It is a lot of effort, after all. Why do it just for a laugh?

[sotenbori]

Maurice, Jim, and Janet -- they're all just working for the company. Someone else is pulling the strings.

[ unless plottwist of the century its janet ]

[true_noir]

Unless Janet is the superior issuing orders to Jim, basically yes. There might still be someone more behind the scenes. It's tricky to be sure what their corporate structure is.

[sotenbori]

wouldn't giving us clues like this be disobeying orders?

[ retrospec is not the yakuza but ok ]

[true_noir]

Probably, but that doesn't mean they won't slip up and let something be seen that could be identified later. If we patiently watch for details, we may learn something in the process.

[sotenbori]

but i mean, that's what he's doing - the map thing, the qr reader, now the fire

let say, sure, he's just doing it for laughs. he thinks its funny to watch up run around wondering why the fuck QR codes matter
that couldve been true with the map thing - no one really knew what to do with it
but even the people who think jim is full of shit downloaded QR readers
so the QR code thing? And the fire thing? They could make a difference
and if they make a difference, if jim's hints actually lead to some of us getting the upper hand
then he's betraying his company
and he could get fired for that

[true_noir]

It depends on what their real agenda is. But yes, possibly his sense of humor could get him fired. I would not weep to see him gone, though it might result in less information.

It's frustrating how little we know at times.

[sotenbori]

getting rid of jim could mean more problems in the long run
the next guy might not be so friendly

[true_noir]

Or might be more friendly, but less useful. The "Devil we Know" is a valid thought. I hate him, but there are worse alternatives, I suppose, aren't there?

[sotenbori]

exactly
not much about his situation has made me want to be optimistic about the alternatives

[true_noir]

I will admit that I really would prefer he be dealt with at the same time all of them are being dealt with. That would be ideal.

[sotenbori]

in the meantime we're just
running up against a brick wall

[true_noir]

Yes, though I believe part of it was the fact that they've had control over all of the information. They can't keep that up forever. The more that we track down, the harder a time they have keeping it under control.

[sotenbori]

yeah. we can't give up

[true_noir]

I'm glad we see it the same way. Give me a call if you need any help one of these days. I'm usually around.
