Got better things to do than waste time with you stock characters from central casting. Weren't you milling around in the background of Brazil by Terry Gilliam?

This is my last post to QT3, I'm too good for this board.

Everything's a production.

Mania coursing straight to his index finger, Cleve's writer hit F5 over and over to refresh the page and see whom this would ensnare.

Talk about anti-climatic and plain lame. So now we lose one more made up guy.

How ironic that he called us a cast of characters when he will directly proceed to register under a different pseudonym and begin another schtick that people will rail against, demand his banning, and ~2 weeks after the furor reaches its zenith (when he should exit in a blaze of glory), the next one will leave for supposed greener pastures.

[DennyA]

Yeah, he already said he was leaving once. I'll believe it when he stops trolling.

That said, I did email the "real Cleve" asking if he was posting on QT3. Got no response at all. That makes me think this might actually be him.

If it's not him, somebody with way too $%#$ing much time on their hands and has all the priorities of a Bill Huffman in how they choose to spend it.

...Denny, sadly taking troll-bait one more time

Edit: My damned fingers keep leaving out some of the words my brain sends down to them.

Sure, Cleve. Sure. You've teased us with false claims of leaving before. Since your track record of lying about leaving is 100%, why should we believe you this time?

[TomChick]

The thing I find really sexy about The Narrator is that he/she is smart enough to use 'whom' instead of 'who'. That just really warms my beret.

This means we have found Cleve's Kryptonite.

Just ask him how Derek Smart has created more games than Cleve.

Even with Cleve's superior race and mental abilities, Cleve has been bested by Derek. Not many men can say that.

Cleve, in your pell-mell urine-soaked flight from the Nation of Aztlan and its hairless simian harbingers, you left your hydraulic door open.

I think you're right. Asking Cleve about Grimoire is like holding up a Crucifix to a vampire. All he can do is hiss and fade away.

[Gary Whitta]

If it was the invocation of Martin Luther King that finally ran Cleve out of town for good, I'd have to put that right up there on the list of the great man's finest achievements. How it warms the spirit to see Doctor King continuing to do good works long after his death.

Yup. Worked last time, too. When Sparky's mockery of his giant-headed baby appeared, he got all huffy and went bye bye for about 10 days. For someone so belligerent, he sure can't handle criticism.

Will he return this time? Probably...

[hermyhermit]

He would roll in his fucking grave if he saw the derailing his "dream" has suffered under the liberal umbrella of "diversity".

Unity was his schtick, not diversity. Try again liberal.

Yeah, you're right. What a great champion of unity Kleve was. I often wondered if his theories weren't perhaps influenced by the writings of Dr K.

[Met_K]

Can we please make sure he doesn't come back? Don't make me go troll the flight sim newsgroups with my unlimited amount of proxies to make it happen.

Kthxbye.

[The Narrator]

Spit covered Met_K's monitor as he hit the "submit" button on his thirty-third consecutive post about the Cleve situation. His own abrupt departure had met with a bombastic silence, his triumphant return with a strangely similar reaction. In the coming years, however, Met_K would look back on his absence from Quarter to Three as nothing more than an impetuous lark of youth. But he would never forget the board, for there he had found a friend in Captain Cookiepants. Bonded by their mutual hatred of Cleve, coupled with an obsessive inability to ignore him, the two became fast friends and, eventually, lovers. They spent many long nights staring into each others' eyes, fists clenched, screaming "I love you, fuckwad!" until their larynxes were raw and useless, and the pale dawn light signalled another day for their beautiful union.

[Mark Asher]

Met_K, I tolerate Cleve in the same way I tolerate you. But please, feel free to troll elsewhere. You are powerful. You can "make it happen."

[Met_K]

The trolling part, or the banning part? I'd much rather make the banning part happen, as I absolutely loathe gathering proxies. That and I'm busy trolling music newsgroups still. But I will! I swear I will!...

He may be gone but remember, nature abhors a vacuum.

Trolling .flight-sim will only bring in libertarian objectivists that go "heheheheheh" a lot. They look sane in comparison to Cleve.

Me too. I think it goes back to my 7th grade English teacher. He was real hot. Just kidding. That was a ghey joke. My suspicion all along, actually, is that The Narrator is Sparky. Witty, observant, sharp as a tack.

No. Hence the nom de plume.

[Met_K]

Tacks aren't that sharp, though. I mean, how many people have ever gone, "Oh, my! I just pierced my foot with a tack! Time to goto the emergency room!" None. But sporks on the other hand, you don't fuck with a spork.

[The Narrator]

And with a single press of the Enter key, the list of Sparky's suitors welcomed the addition of an Ashkenazi Jew editor of a national magazine. Upon reflection, Jeff wondered if perhaps he should have kept his passion secret for longer, but with the demise of his monthly column he found he had substantially more passion than he could adequately sublimate into his private weblog accounts of the adventures of his pet dwarf Doofaeus. In fact, now that he had declared his intentions so publicly, there was a chance that he might finally get what he had been coveting all along: Photoshop lessons.

[freeman]

Do you guys really think The Narrator is mean? I just think it's funny. And add another vote for Sparky.

[TomChick]

I hope it's Sparky. Or Jessica or Denice or Angie or Caryn or Josie or Murph's wife. Because I'm strangely attraced to The Narrator's wit, warmth, and intelligence, so there's serious potential for awkwardness if it's a dude.

-Tom

[Gary Whitta]

Only if said dude doesn't share your feelings, Tom.

[Rywill]

I'm glad to know that you and Murph are close enough that there'd be no awkwardness if it was his wife, at least.

Note: I would have said "if it were his wife," but I don't want Tom hitting on me. Any more than he already does.

[Bullhajj]

Note: I would have said "if it were his wife," but I don't want Tom hitting on me. Any more than he already does.

No problem. Lacking the warmth, wit, and inteligence parts, you've probably got nothing to worry about.

[Brian Koontz]

The Narrator and Sparky do not share the same style. Although interestingly enough, Sparky does post fairly frequently between the 3:30A and 5:00A segment.

Also, The Narrator was born shortly after I began my "Qt3 introspection". Sparky was never known to be particularly influenced by me in the past, which is why I initially picked DrCrypt as the likely Narrator.

However, Sparky has often commented on Qt3 people, usually with help of her impressive Photoshop skills.

Perhaps my posting about "living in Sparky's LAP era" had more of an effect than I thought. Perhaps Sparky wants to move beyond her Photoshop identity and prove she has impressive verbal wit and Qt3 character insight. If so, then vast kudos! Also, if so, then her husband might just want to watch his back for the next several months at least ;).

My current rankings in order of most likely are Sparky, Erik, and DrCrypt.

One more thing... why haven't any of these people denied themselves as The Narrator? Is it that they WANT to be known as The Narrator regardless of the truth or is it that they are enjoying the show and don't want to help the detective work?

I wonder if Chick or Asher will be willing to end the debate with IP address info if we can't figure it out.

Sadly, Loyd Case did not realize that his emphatic proclamation would eventually be his undoing. By admitting his appreciation for the mysteries of life, he had cast doubt on every benchmark he had ever run. Disheartened and embittered, Loyd would eventually vanish from the board, only reappearing on occasion to take inappropriately personal swipes at Tom's Hardware. Months later, in a thread entitled "Which DVD would you save from a burning house?", Loyd would finally admit that he'd "been making those goddam numbers up" all along.

Beginning in May (I believe) I start a "Qt3 introspection" theme to my Qt3 identity which amounts to something unusual. In previous contexts I had "known more about someone than he knows about himself", but it was sporadic and isolated. Only in my old trash talking days did I frequently try to burrow to the heart of someone, but the nature of that context (sport, physical skill) and my relative youth and ignorance meant the results were limited. Shortly after beginning my campaign I posted this...

June 1, 8:21PM from Brian Koontz...

I wonder if this is how Sparky divides her life...

Life Before Photoshop

Life After Photoshop

I'm glad to live in Sparky's LAP era.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sparky makes no reply. I am hypothesizing that (assuming The Narrator is Sparky) this post and my introspection campaign led to her new Qt3 identity. Again, by undergoing an identity with NO Photoshop elements, strictly wordy she proves she can play OUR game as well. A one upsmanship of sorts.

About my new theme, DrCrypt writes this...

June 10, 8:27AM from DrCrypt...

Brian, is this new "edgy" persona of yours your attempt to ingratiate yourself with the Qt3 hipocracy? I made up that last word there as a kind of peace offering between us so you can further solidify your "edginess" by quoting it, then replying in all caps: "HIPOCRACY? MORE LIKE HYPOCRISY!" Then I'll lick finger and make a ghost mark in the air, indicating the first Brian Koontz "score" and the orchestra cue for the Chariots of Fire soundtrack to start playing.

Although I have to say, you make a much better idiot than an asshole.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now on June 25 begins the life of The Narrator. As I already said, my initial hypothesis was that it is DrCrypt. If Sparky is truly influenced by me, she's done a hell of a job at hiding it up till now. DrCrypt, on the other hand, has been sort of my personal troll for a long time. So you'd think DrCrypt would be The Narrator, but the posting statistics as well as the disparities in style say that's unlikely.

One thing is for sure in all of this. I love subtlety and I love nuance. I love wit and I love insight.

Damn... it sounds like I might have to propose marriage to The Narrator ;).

Hopefully... yipes... hopefully its Sparky! :shock:

Now that is fucking comedy... good job Narrator!

Sparky makes no reply.
I wouldn't read much into this. Sparky has never replied to me, either, but I don't think she's making alter-egos (wouldn't egi be better?) because of that time I made fun of Rush. Besides, The Narator is too mean to be Sparky, she doesn't need to resort to insults to be funny. She's totally funny without them.

Crypt I could believe. And Gallant. I don't think it's Erik. I'd laugh my ass off if it was Tom playing out some kind of Fight Club fantasy. But if I had to bet money, I'd guess The Narator was a new poster.

I'll do some research into Gallant later. Remind me in a couple days if I haven't already done it.

Chick is definitely a possibility too, although I doubt it on a psychological level... but likewise on the research on him.

Sparky insults people on subtle levels. Posting Smart's head on all kinds of stuff is definitely funny and its somewhat insulting as well. Also, putting berets on Chick's sperm is one of the funniest things I've ever seen but its not exactly a hands off policy with respect to people's feelings.

With The Narrator, she can get away with being more insulting and still not have it sully her "everyone loves me!" reputation. Its a comedy and identity masterstroke.

I very much doubt The Narrator is a new poster. He knows far too much. He has referenced old things. He acts like a longtime Qt3 regular, which means that is just what he likely is.

[Brian Koontz]

Step back, jack... there's still milk in your cheerios.

That was a little too American for me, I think. :) Iknow what Cheerios (and milk) is, but you'll have to spell it out for me.

Hehe, writing that was 200% more fun knowing it was a Non-American on the receiving end ;).

I don't even know the exact derivation of "step back, jack", but its a common phrase. It made its way into a song (or maybe more than one)... whether it was created in a song or existed prior I'm not sure.

It means "Get away from me, relax", etc. Jack is merely a rhymer with back.

The "there's still milk in your cheerios" phrase is derived from a variation of "who pissed in your cheerios?" to denote someone who is sour, bitter, or expressing displeasure... a reaction that would come after eating cheerios with piss in them.

By saying "there's still milk in your cheerios" I mean that there is no need to act as if someone had pissed in your cheerios ;).

[bmulligan]

Brian Koontz, locked in an epic battle with his subconcious, fought his way through the jungle of his arduously compiled posting data, only to come face to face with the semi-automatic standard issue of the agent at the top of the chasm. "Damn," he thought, "wrong turn again." his next word was severed by the projectile that carved a void into his essense.

He awoke suddenly from the tangle of data on his desk, visibly shaken by the experience. The nightmare that showed him the answers he desperately sought was now fading and elusive. The dream world had left it's mark on reality as another gap in his own grey matter. His emotional breakdown imminent, he attepted focus one last time. It was then he realized he already knew the answers, but was afraid to admit the truth to himself. "Cleve," he muttered, "why did it have to be you...."

The report of the next shot could be heard throughout the forums. Koontz was dead, as the body cannot survive without the mind.

[Brian Koontz]

And to reiterate, all admin information is, of course, strictly confidential. FWIW, we don't know who The Narrator is.

Based on the fact that its "strictly confidential", how can I think you are honest when you say you don't know who it is? If you ARE being honest, then it can't be ANYONE regular to Qt3, with an identity that you have done an IP check on, correct?

Based on this, if you are being honest then The Narrator cannot be any of the people hypothesized in this thread.

Either that or you just haven't checked the IP address for The Narrator.

[bmulligan]

Amidst the carnage that littered his desk, the remains of Koontz, although wounded, still functioned. His senses blurred. His motions, awkward. What would seem contrary to logic by any other human was now reality: Koontz's flesh, through purity of spirit, was resurrected.

He now realized the truth and was not afraid, yet began to question his own, new existence. Who had laid their hands to filch his spirit from the source of everlasting ecstacy? Who had reinserted his mind into a world so vile, so abhorrent, that he would have chosen an eterninty of damnation over remaining here another moment? Who indeed.

There was only one more question that ached in his newly initialized brain: Where do I find -- The Hermit......?[/i]

[Brian Koontz]

What song?

I don't know. I've rummaged through my song memory and I got "Hit the road, jack" and "You go back, jack, and do it again" and a vague one of "Get back, jack... take your hands off of my stack" but that's all. Maybe one of the music geeks here can help.

Oh, there's tons! I mean, just going from the top down, alphabetically:

AC/DC - "(Get) Back (, Jack) in Black"
Aerosmith - "I'm (get) Back (, Jack) in the Saddle Again"
Angels - "My Boyfriend's (get) Back (, Jack)"
Beatles - "(Get) Back (, Jack) in the USSR"
Beatles - "Get Back (, Jack)"
Boston - "Don't Look (get) Back (, Jack)"

Ewwww! Not only has Tom eluded to a likely sexual yearning awakened within him when he reads The Narrarator's posts, but he also hopes it is a relative. I know the Supreme Court's decision may have opened the door to make that legal with its recent decision, but, for god's sake man, keep it in the privacy of your own home!


OTOH, upon closer inspection of this thread, it could be a sly hint that Tom himself is The Nararator and that he gives himself a tingling feeling when he reads his own words. As a journalist and actor, that I can believe.

Oh yeah, and there's the whole Fight Club connection. Edward Norton's character was never given a name. In the credits he showed up as Narrator.

Someone needs to look up corroboration. It means evidence, knucklehead, not self-satisfied speculation.

[Kool Moe Dee]

What song?

I don't know. I've rummaged through my song memory and I got "Hit the road, jack" and "You go back, jack, and do it again" and a vague one of "Get back, jack... take your hands off of my stack" but that's all. Maybe one of the music geeks here can help.

Paul Simon, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover?

[Jason McMaster]

yes and no, it's not worded as such in that song.

A few possibilities: "Hit the road, jack" is probably from Ray Charles' song of the same title, which goes on to add "and don't you come back, no more no more no more no more". "You go back, jack, and do it again" could be from Steely Dan's song "Do it again", which has that exact line. "Get back, jack, take your hands off of my stack" is close to a line from Pink Floyd's song "Money" which runs "I'm alright Jack, take your hands off of my stack".

Sounds like you're thinking of several different songs at once.
