I knew that from the very start, and indeed tried to convey, on occasion, the disappointing nature of my obscurity. But if the destination was more important than the journey, why do we have all those road movies? No, the destination is but a triviality waiting patiently at the logical conclusion; we all want to reach it, but we all know it will pale compared to our reaching of it. Yes, initially there will be many a "Who?" and a fair dollop of "Well, that was a waste of time"s, but there's nary a thing a stiff stout on me can't fix.

Which is the main reason I don't really suspect Kingz as the impostor - can't imagine he'd pull the same stunt twice.

I see. I had entirely forgotten about that, or at least I didn't pay enough attention to it at the time. Nice work, I must say, and with a Wim Wenders reference and all. For a fleeting moment, I too considered a similar route (hence the uncapitalized second and third words in the titles of my initial threads), but, after using a hyphen as a dash, I'm afraid I just couldn't stomach it. And besides, no one seems to be getting the answer no matter how I act. As an impostor, I'm doing an extremely poor job of hiding myself, but as the person I'm hiding, I'm clearly a very apt candidate. From those posts, I don't see too much of a resemblance between The Kingz And I; he swears, for one thing, and his tone is much more casual. I only swear in person, and only in whoops-I-put-a-nail-through-my-thumb-type circumstances. I do like saying cunt, though.

Oh yes, and how are the mods? Did you all get the flowers I sent you? Incidentally, I'm surprised no one's accused the mod squad themselves, for if you were going to muck about impostoring people, you'd either want to be a mod, or have them in on it.

Personally, I've got my money on Ms. Black And White Vogue. Who else would know the inner workings of this game of guess in such detail? Can you then, Ms., post another cross-list and register yourself with one vote from me?

A plague to your shores!

How do you know about my shores?
Not even the Angry Sea Gods themselves know of the secret islands of my shores... i would best keep my nose out of them if i were you, Impostor... if that is your real name!

I know all. Accept that Jesus Christ died for your sins and I'll stop inflicting Christians on you.

I have decided to post a series of increasingly easy clues to aid the Identity Parade. Every time I feel a lull in deduction or a lack of attention, I will give you another gentle pat in the right direction. I assure you I will not pull the wool over your eyes; they will all be genuine hints — not a yarn in sight. In other words, this thread will be rife with clews. Indeed it seems possible that even the first one could give it away, and maybe even this introductory paragraph.

So, why "Twine"? Because I don't like red.

Clew #1:

He's Marek. Yeah, definitely.

Hey Zeus! Wow! Boy, I sure am sorry for what I said. Can I still go to heaven?

1. Glenn Epic (1: Hammerite)
2. pinkgothic (1: Hammerite)
3. samIamsad (1: Hammerite)

Again, if I missed any in either list, let me know.

I'm rather flattered that the Impostor likens themselves to me. Incidentally, I wish to neither deny nor confirm that. It's far more rewarding to watch this game drawn out, much to the dismay of everyone else.



Edit: @AFGNCAAP: The post. Agreed, that's more my interpretation than not. Removing you from the Kingz' list. Sorry. (The general vagueness level around that area was pretty high, so I counted a few implicite guesses, too).

[The Impostor]

Thanks, pretty.

Hmm. I think the staff forum already knows who you are. I'm after your time, though, so I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.

[Melanie68]

Do you like to sail?

Also, I had remarked on the short story connection and then you talk about yarns in this thread. Are you a writer?

Just musing out loud...

[simpson_yellow]

White wine, eh? Pinot Noir wouldn't be your drop of choice, would it?

And would 'clew' be a sailing reference?

I know he's supposedly been discounted, but I distinctly recall SJH having "sideways" and sailing themed avatars / sigs in the not too distant past.

And SJH hates a "lack of attention" as much as anyone I've ever met.

[Melanie68]

The clew is the free corner(s) of a sail.

Edit: Wool, yarn... Baa?

[Sage]

No way is The Impostor Omloflump. No way.

The Impostor is fun, whereas Omloflump seemed to live to be a downer.

If you doubt me, go back and read some of Omloflump's posts, then compare them to the playful tone of The Impostor. Not even close, are they?

[Spiwak]

My guess is Karmillo/Kirmallo. Or squarejawhero.

[simpson_yellow]

Yeah, I'm sticking with squarejaw too. Just wondering if there's some other way of reading The Impostor's refutation in post 124.... By saying he "ain't one of those three", he could be saying he isn't gilly for example, but leaving the other options open.

I think Karmillo's a bit of a stretch though.
