I finally figured a way to post a success story to this list
that says
enough to have some of the more OT among you able to nod sagely and
without
necessarily putting the rest of you in over your
heads.
Imagine this if you will. You're locked in a room.
Actually you've been
there a devil of a long time, but you were not aware of
this up to now. You
have several other inmates in the room with
you. One of them holds the key
to getting out, but you don't know which
one. In fact no-one in the room
knows who has the key or even what it
would look like if it leapt out and
bit them on the nose.
To make
matters worse about half of the inmates in the room are there for
quite other
purposes than to help either you or anyone else get out.
Indeed, they alone
have some not so pleasant comm lines out of the room and
the answer could lie
down there. The rest of the occupants are as good as
dead. Except
maybe one - but this one won't speak to you or co-operate in
any way.
Indeed this one has been absolutely and utterly successful at
not
communicating to anyone else in the room for eons and, since the only
others
in the room who can communicate are of evil intent, believes, as if
the
future of the entire universe depended on it, that any and all
communication
from you must, therefore, be of further evil intent.
Oh,
and you have about 2 hours tops to find this key before your body
becomes
completely an utterly knackered. You're already sweating and it's
your
move. Do you try to resurrect the dead? Do you try to deal with
those
whose mission is to make sure you never get out? Do you deal with
their
masters? Do you work on the one who won't talk? Or maybe
you have to do
several of these options! The clock is
ticking.
Well, I'll not answer the questions posed by this hypothetical
riddle. But
I will say this:
YEE HAH :-) And that moment
of release is oh so
sweet.
Nick
