<O.O.C> Bloody excellent Powers! This is almost inspiring me to do a new Storygame, based on this society, unless you have plans of course...

Yayyy! Powers is back, to continue this incredible creepy and unique storygame. Excellent new reply Dotty. With each installment this world takes shape more and more, a very restrictive home indeed.

Cool story. I like so far.

Hmmm... I shall have to write a letter...

It's good to read again the dotty column... :D

Yes! The agony is back. I've been missing it so :D

Araex · Guest

Awesome stuff Powers, I'll have to write something sometime.

I come back to discover that Smee's the mayor and Key's declared himself king, and you think Dotty's society is creepy?!

Yay another new chapter! Nice one powers.

Gald I read this, tis excellent! And I will have to write a letter soon, though I don't have long now.

Just noticed one typo:

:D Fair enough. In fact, I can really feel your point.

HURRAH! Dotty is back! My subscription came through the letter box today, with my latest meds. :? :-o :D

Wow... awesome response... do you just write to throw off our expectations or have u plotted out this world you are giving us such a unique window into? I love this thread and I'll probably nominate it next month for the SGOTM! BTW, I was REALLY hoping you would respond to the letter you just did... it was Soooooo amusing to read and your reply was just crazy(in a good way)!

Solomon Birch · Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 11:15 am Post subject:

I love it even more Powers. Wonderfully grim undertones; genuinely creepy stuff. :biggrin:

D-Lotus · Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 5:12 pm Post subject:

And we are left to wonder....who's side is Dotty really on? Is it possible she is part of the Resistance, after all? :D

Chinaren · Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 7:20 pm Post subject:

Quote: I did not, after all, reveal any of the passcodes or signals that Resistance members use to identify themselves and their sympathizers.

Indeed. This would seem to imply more knowledge of the Rebs than she has let on so far.

Keep it coming Powers! I mean Dotty.

Viridian · Guest

Dotty seems to have experienced every single thing the people wrote in to ask advice for. :shock: Is Dotty a "real" person at all?

By the way, is there a fixed number of days before Dotty writes again?

Excellent! Another Machiavellian response from Dotty.

I think I may just feel another problem coming on... :cool:

Ravagerrr · Guest

Great response Powers! And great question there Stoat!

Araex · Guest

That last answer was great - how democratic is our democracy?

And a nice question Stoat.

Solomon Birch · Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2006 12:08 pm Post subject:

Loving it. It get's darker and darker. Is Dotty really convinced that she's living and working in a democracy? Hmmm :-o

*holds breath* :shock:

Yay! That was quite a revealing answer I think:

Quote: (the memory of it still makes me shudder)

So Dotty went through re-education eh? And was only 'saved' because she knew someone... Interesting... :D

And lot's more on the society. Slave farms..... *shudder*

Thanks Powers, great reply. :biggrin:

*holds breath* :shock:

Very very enlightening. Another excellent response from Dotty.

Great response Dotty! Just like you to know I'm subscribing to this paper and expect to see even more helpful and beneficial solutions to the problems which plauge our nation.

chiacutie · Guest

I was going to post a letter, but I think geek's was good so I'll wait until later, because hers was really clever.

smooches,

Solomon Birch · Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 11:49 pm Post subject:

Great! Another intriguing entry Powers. :D

I'm starting to see a pattern with Dotty; she is not all that she seems. Very interesting... ;)

DukeReg · Guest Joined: 12 Oct 2005 Posts: 287 Location: Australia

I should have read this earlier... it is very clever.

Keep up the good work!

I can't find the typesetting error in the latest instalment, and I feel I am missing out on something significant.
