ARG

Be careful, Messenger! Looks like this is an unfinished section. Admins of the wiki couldn't fill it with the necessary information in time, but maybe you can?

ARG

There is currently an ARG in the official The Messenger Discord. Hints of the ARG were thrown November 20, 2018, and the ARG truly began December 8, 2018, when The Archivist joined as a member. Other characters from the universe of The Messenger have visited, such as The Shopkeeper, the Clockwork Concierge, and Suses.

Note: Some messages from other members that were posted in between the characters' messages were removed for readability.

November 20, 2018

The Version 1.0.4 update released on November 20, 2018. On that day, The Shopkeeper chatted in Soleil's Twitch stream of The Messenger. The Shopkeeper revealed the existence of an unknown character named "The Archivist."

The Twitch conversation between The Shopkeeper and Kammesennin.

Kammesennin	Also... let's not forget the possibility of alternate universes wherein something MAY happen, and if it does in an alternate universe he still didn't lie.
Kammesennin	Marty! You're not thinking fourth dimensionally! Or is it fifth? 🤔
LeShopkeeper	Alternate universes?
LeShopkeeper	How would you know?
Kammesennin	By asking the guy who waits at the end of time of course
LeShopkeeper	You didn't touch the orb, did you?
Kammesennin	Oooh was I not supposed to do that?
LeShopkeeper	When YOU were the shopkeeper yes, but you wouldn't
LeShopkeeper	So now that you shouldn't, you do?
LeShopkeeper	Unreal...
Kammesennin	Well I figured that since I was meant to be the shopkeeper it would be fine now.
LeShopkeeper	Hey I get it
LeShopkeeper	Besides, since The Archivist was lost in a rift, it's best we all pitch in on trying to figuring things out
Kammesennin	Archivist? Sounds pretty important. Didn't anyone try to find them?
LeShopkeeper	Oh, you didn't know?
LeShopkeeper	Well I...
LeShopkeeper	I probably shouldn't have mentioned that
Kammesennin	No... I feel like you may have forgotten to mention that.
LeShopkeeper	Nevermind.
Kammesennin	...

November 21, 2018

In the PC version of The Messenger, the dialogue files are easily accessed from a folder called "StreamingAssets."

• Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Messenger\TheMessenger_Data\StreamingAssets
• GOG:C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\The Messenger\TheMessenger_Data\StreamingAssets

Before the Version 1.0.4 update, there were only 3 dialogue files.

• Credits.tsv, which contains the credits.
• Loc.tsv, which contains cutscene text, Quarble death text, menu text, and some credits-related text.
• LocDialog.tsv, which contains the character dialogue and generic narration box text.

The 2 newly-added dialogue files with the Version 1.0.4 update.

The Version 1.0.4 update introduced 2 new dialogue files.

• Loc_Plus.tsv, which contains various menu texts involving some of the newly-introduced features (button rebinding, New Game +, Prophet hints in the scroll, and the Jukebox).
• LocDialog_Plus.tsv, which contains new generic narration box text, Shopkeeper text, and Quarble text.

However, the "LocDialog_Plus.tsv" file has a secret message, hidden hundreds of empty lines below the normal game dialogue. This message does not ever appear within the game itself and is only found within the game files.

Location	LOC_ID	UNIQUE_ID	AVATAR	EN
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP_BEGIN	ARCHIVIST_HELP_BEGIN	THE_ARCHIVIST	...all these parallel universes...I...went too far...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP	ARCHIVIST_HELP	THE_ARCHIVIST	...I am lost in time, lost in space...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP	ARCHIVIST_HELP	THE_ARCHIVIST	...I see a portal, I think it leads to the void...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP	ARCHIVIST_HELP	THE_ARCHIVIST	...if someone can hear me, I need help...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP	ARCHIVIST_HELP	THE_ARCHIVIST	...the portal to the void must be opened from your side...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP	ARCHIVIST_HELP	THE_ARCHIVIST	...use the voodoo magic word, it was etched in stone somewhere in the tropics...
???	ARCHIVIST_HELP_END	ARCHIVIST_HELP_END	THE_ARCHIVIST	...I HEAR THEM COMING, HURRY!!!

When The Archivist's secret dialogue in the dialogue files was discovered by Soleil, a new text channel in the official The Messenger Discord appeared, called #the-void. This text channel acted mysteriously, popping in and out of existence and sometimes floating up and down the list of channels. Pictures could not be uploaded to this channel, unlike with the other text channels.

#the-void text channel and the "Loremaster" role.

When members posted a few comments into #the-void, #the-void would disable the ability to post further comments. #the-void would disappear and return at random times, with any previous messages completely erased. And eventually, no one could comment in #the-void, with one exception; Soleil was granted a Discord role called "Loremaster," which allowed her to comment in #the-void. #the-void channel would frequently pop in and out of existence, and if commented in, would force-disable any further comments until its next reappearance.

December 8, 2018

The stone slab from the Picnic Panic DLC trailer, with the word "TUWHERA" etched into it.

The Picnic Panic DLC trailer was released on December 8, 2018. The trailer showcases Ninja's adventures in the tropics. And at the 0:22 mark of the trailer, a splash text image titled "VOODOO MAGIC" appears in large stylized letters, corresponding to The Archivist's message, "...use the voodoo magic word, it was etched in stone somewhere in the tropics..." After the words "VOODOO MAGIC" appear in the trailer, Ninja jumps through a circular time rift, transforming the world from 8-bit to 16-bit. He runs forward, passing by a stone slab in the background. This stone slab has runes etched into it, using the in-game alphabet. When translated, the stone slab reads "TUWHERA."

When #the-void reappeared, the word "TUWHERA" was posted into it. A new member named "TheArchivist" joined the Discord, a person with the "Loremaster" role. The Archivist posted messages in #the-void on December 8, 2018. By December 11, 2018, the "Loremaster" role was removed from Soleil, as the "Loremaster" role was transferred back to The Archivist.

The Archivist's Discord avatar.

The Archivist used #the-void channel as a means to communicate with the community. No one could post in #the-void channel except for The Archivist, but members could add Discord emoticons as reactions to his comments. Furthermore, after The Archivist finished posting messages for the day, he would completely leave the server. Each time, he would join solely to post his messages, then leave the server.

#the-void
Soleil	TUWHERA
TheArchivist	gasp
TheArchivist	......
TheArchivist	Thank you, Messenger Soleil.....
TheArchivist	To finally return to the void.....
TheArchivist	I need to rest for now, but I will be back to offer answers...
TheArchivist	GODSPEED, MESSENGERS

December 11, 2018

#the-void
TheArchivist	The void has stabilized, thank you for assuming the temporary role of Loremaster.
TheArchivist	I will need your instinct as we dig through the archives together, you will need to consort and decide on which subjects to explore.
TheArchivist	If you know to cooperate, I believe we can finally solve this.
TheArchivist	I shall return soon. GODSPEED, MESSENGERS!

December 14, 2018

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone I have returned, Messengers. I am here to offer you either Knowledge , or Opportunity If you choose Knowledge , I will give you a significant piece of information regarding The Shopkeeper's true identity. If you choose Opportunity , I will stabilize a portal that will allow legendary composer Rainbowdragoneyes to join your community permanently. Choose wisely, for the option you leave aside may never present itself again. What will it be, Knowledge , or Opportunity  ? Now, consort, Messengers, and cast your votes! I will return in 5 hours.
	: 30 : 62
TheArchivist	@everyone It seems your intentions are clear, and we do not need more time. I will now open the portal, please give our new member a warm welcome!

December 20, 2018

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone Greetings, Messengers. It seems you have many questions, but our ultimate goal is impossibly far from reach still. Today you must choose between Immediate Reward , and Deferred Gratification Should you choose Immediate Reward , I will confirm whether or not the Money Sink is of any use. Should you choose Deferred Gratification , I will ask SaboTeam to take a major step in recruiting more Messengers, taking us closer to the amount of adventurers required before the next big adventure can be unvealed . Doing so will also add a third voting icon for future choices. Choose wisely, for the option you leave aside may never present itself again. What will it be; Immediate Reward , or Deferred Gratification  ? Now consort, Messengers, and cast your votes! I will return in 5 hours.
	: 12 : 92
TheArchivist	@everyone Thank you, Messengers, your voices have been heard. Since you have chosen to orient efforts towards the grander scheme, I will ask SaboTeam to expose more potential Messengers to Ninja's story by bringing his adventure to an additional platform. This is your doing, and you have chosen wisely. Expect the announcement sometime next month. I must retreat for now. GODSPEED, MESSENGERS!

January 8, 2019

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone Ahoy, Messengers! I have been paying close attention and it seems your interest in The Shopkeeper's identity will not go away. The big adventure I will need you for is still a couple of years ahead of us, but your deduction skills will be of great use, and I am curious to see how fast you can all get to the bottom of this little mystery. I will offer you three statements relating to The Shopkeeper; one of them is completely true, one of them is completely wrong, and the other contains an important mistake. I will then gather your votes on which statement you would like confirmation on. If you pick the statement that contains an important mistake, it should give you a lot to mull over. Should you choose poorly, you will have to ponder each of the two remaining statements equally. Here they are: The Shopkeeper is The Bowman (or Western Hero from Ninja's perspective) From Ninja's perspective, The Shopkeeper is usually in the shop, and he has stories to share The Shopkeeper is the first of the Blue Robes Order, and also the first Messenger I will return tomorrow. Choose wisely.

TheArchivist

@everyone Right on time, thank you for your votes. The majority has spoken, so I shall offer clarity. You chose "The Shopkeeper is the first of the Blue Robes Order, and also the first Messenger" This statement is completely true. While it was not the ideal pick, you now only have two remaining statements to comb through. Now consort, Messengers! I will be watching, and return once you have covered enough ground. GODSPEED!

TheArchivist

@everyone Good day, Messengers. I have been paying close attention, and while your gr [missing transcription] next big chapter, it is my estimation that you are worthy of some more insights. Today I am here to let you choose between Knowledge , Purpose , and Curiosity If you choose Knowledge , I will share with you what my moniker was before I became known as "The Archivist" If you choose Purpose , I will give you a clue as to why I first needed you to witness Ninja's story If you choose Curiosity , I will ask SaboTeam to reveal today a new creature found on Voodkin Island Cast your votes, Messengers! I will return in a few hours.

An overwhelming number of VoteO votes overtook the poll before proper discussions about the vote could take place. Some discussions took place about the preference of VoteX by some of the more active members, but the poll was already extremely lopsided towards VoteO and looked like there was no chance for the other poll options. Multiple members expressed disappointment about the lack of proper discussion. This caused The Archivist to message Thierry to restrict access to #the-void, making #the-void only viewable to members with the "Ninja" Discord role.

#spoilers
Kammesennin	got hit hard and fast
Kammesennin	No discussion even...
Kammesennin	I'm disappointed in the lack of discussion before votes to be completely honest. We're meant to work together here.
Spiderbenb	Agreed
VeggieDelphine	I guess only the population of spoilers want to know who is the Archivist
Kammesennin	I mean vote how you want, but let's discuss first is my opinion just so we can all be certain of our individual votes.
Later
Spiderbenb	I think we can assume has a certain reason behind it, perhaps something we missed? Otherwise i believe that we were shown Ninja's Story because it's the only Story we know where we destroyed The Curse.
Later
Spiderbenb	But i wholeheartedly agree that there should be an ACTUAL discussion for voting. Since some of us are getting drowned out for the answers we really want.
Later
OHSHIET	Let's not vote at all. Maybe we will find an easter egg by surprising The Archivist
Spiderbenb	Vote yo.
VeggieDelphine	Too late for that
Kammesennin	I would actually agree if others didn't jump the gun.
Kammesennin	Now it's like we vote on something or we just don't participate while the ARG moves on.
Spiderbenb	To be fair though. The "others" that jumped the gun aren't even active on the server.
Later
Spiderbenb	I'm talking about the 110 others online.
Spiderbenb	The ones that just kinda...lurk and vote all willy nilly.
VeggieDelphine	Let’s not become elitists
OHSHIET	Let' ask The Archivist not to ping everyone so inactives won't pick mindlessly
Spiderbenb	I'm not, im just pointing out that those folks only come out when a vote is being placed.
OHSHIET	(Nah it won't help)
VeggieDelphine	Yes I agree
Kammesennin	We also have some people that voted for all 3...
Spiderbenb	I always vote for one thing
VeggieDelphine	I was gonna do that but seeing the difference with
VeggieDelphine	I chose just one and added a few
Kammesennin	Maybe The Archivist should summon a portal to a Strawpoll with some IP dupe checking. Sure you can get around it if you really want to, but it avoids some of the lazy multi-voters.
VeggieDelphine	If everybody who vote participated in the discussion here ... we would be 100% of the time online
Thierry	Hey everyone
Spiderbenb	But some folks choose not to join chat here.
VeggieDelphine	With just 4 person there sometimes is 700+ more messages to read in the morning
Kammesennin	Hey Thierry
Spiderbenb	Oh hey
VeggieDelphine	Hi Thierry
Thierry	That ruckus caused The Archivist to message me
Later
Thierry	I'm not clear on what's going on in #the-void , but basically he asked that only those with the Ninja role be allowed to vote from now on
Later
Thierry	I made the change, I guess let's be careful who with add to the ranks
Spiderbenb	Not to hate on the inactives here, but they really throw a wrench in what we discuss here
Thierry	I have no horse in this race, but hit me up about anyone who should get the role

However, The Archivist kept messaging Thierry even after this change was made. The Archivist made another request, to reset the vote in #the-void.

#spoilers
Thierry	Wow I can't get any work done today, boss keeps messaging
Thierry	SO
Spiderbenb	Multitask
Thierry	The Archivist has decided to reset the vote, and keep the void hidden to those who are not Ninjas, but demands that discussions still take place in public channels so that other potential high profile Messengers may be recruited.
Thierry	So I guess it's up to you all to have it stay this way

But a few minutes later, The Archivist expressed his anger.

#spoilers
Thierry	uh-oh, boss is mad
Thierry

The Archivist deleted his original poll, replacing it with a new, unfavorable poll.

#the-void
3:14 PM (EST)	TheArchivist	@everyone Messengers, it seems you have chosen to voice grievances instead of attempting broad collaboration. Here are your choices : If you choose , I will close The Void. If you choose , I will ask SaboTeam to make the second chapter of "Barma'thazel's Revenge" a paid DLC instead of free. If you choose , I will mute the Ninja role in all channels for 48 hours. If you show unity and tie this vote, I will present the previous opportunity again. Everything has a price. I will return in a few hours.
		: 10? 11? : 10? 11? : 10? 11?
??:?? PM	TheArchivist	@everyone One vote each. Do not test me again.
3:45 PM	TheArchivist	@everyone So far so good. Regardless of the outcome, the "Voidmender" vanity role will be granted to all those who participated in this important vote. Two hours remain.

A period of time in which the votes remained in balance.

During this stretch of time, the votes fluctuated many times, in an attempt to keep balance. When the balance was tipped, many members cooperated together, offering to remove their vote or to add their vote to the appropriate poll option. Members coordinated together to figure out the best way to keep the poll in balance while also getting as many people as possible to participate in the vote so that they could all share the vanity role, "Voidmender."

As discussions took place in the #ninjas text channel, one member, Kammesennin, offered to give up his vote if it came down to the wire.

#ninjas
3:47 PM (EST)	Kammesennin	The role is incentive. People WILL vote. Let's just keep doing what we've been doing and stay organized to maintain that tie.
Later
3:47 PM	Kammesennin	I am willing to lose the role in order to maintain the tie if it comes down to it.

Kammesennin's PM from The Archivst.

Kammesennin received a private message from The Archivist.

This is the beginning of your direct message history with @TheArchivist.
3:47 PM (EST)	TheArchivist	Everything has a price. Let your heart know for sure that once it is paid, it will be as if nothing happened.
3:48 PM	Kammesennin	Of course. Nothing is without cost... but if the cost is only upon myself and for the sake of the whole... then how could I say no to the bill?
3:48 PM	Clyde [BOT]	Your message could not be delivered because you don't share a server with the recipient or you disabled direct messages on your shared server, recipient is only accepting direct messages from friends, or you were blocked by the recipient. Only you can see this — delete this message.

As time drew closer to the deadline, The Archivist began a countdown, and the voting became more frantic.

#the-void
5:35 PM (EST)	TheArchivist	@everyone 10 minutes left.
5:40 PM	TheArchivist	@everyone 5 minutes left.
5:42 PM	TheArchivist	@everyone 3 minutes left.
5:44 PM	TheArchivist	@everyone 1 minute left.

At 5:45 PM, #the-void channel completely disappeared. Time passed with unease, as votes had changed during the last few moments, and it was unclear if someone had tipped the balance at the last second. But a few minutes later, members noticed that those who participated in the vote had a new vanity role, "Voidmender," which shared the same green color as The Archivist's "Loremaster" role. Those who participated but sacrificed their vote in order to keep the vote in balance, did not receive the vanity role, "Voidmender."

About half an hour later, #the-void came back. All messages posted in #the-void during January 23, 2019, were completely removed and replaced with the following message.

#the-void
6:12 PM (EST)	TheArchivist	As so The Void has been mended. Congratulations Messengers, your display of sacrifice and dedication to one another makes me hopeful for what lies ahead. Though today's events were erased form the timeline, I trust the lesson learned will live on in your hearts. I will return soon to present once more the opportunity that was missed earlier. GODSPEED!

Some time later that day, The Archivist was kind enough to award those who participated but sacrificed their vote the "Voidmender" role anyways. From that day forward, #the-void would remain only visible to members with the "Ninja" role.

The next day on January 24, 2019, the reasoning for The Archivist's anger the previous day was described more clearly by Thierry in the #ninjas text channel.

#ninjas
Thierry	yes, but the need for ninjas only to be able to vote couldn't be resolved
Later
Thierry	causing yesterday's crusis
Later
Thierry	it's what caused problems yesterday, the overwhelming number of inactives quickly voting on something they don't fully understand invalidates the vote of those truly invested
Later
Thierry	and that's not fair

During all of the void-related shenanigans and the critical void-mending vote on January 23, 2019, KuningasEST was streaming a speedrun of The Messenger on Twitch. It was also KuningasEST's birthday. The Shopkeeper dropped by KuningasEST's Twitch stream to wish him a happy birthday. The Shopkeeper explained that he got Suses to bake KuningasEST a pixel cake, and that it would be delivered to the official Discord.

LeShopkeeper	Bro do you even cloudstep?
Murazio_	SNAP
FluffyMittens_	why not?
PiranhaPig	i's shopkeeper POGGERS
PiranhaPig	i love you
Later
LeShopkeeper	What's up @PiranhaPig
PiranhaPig	you're the coolest
Later
LeShopkeeper	Happy Birthday Kuni!
Later
LeShopkeeper	Godspeed Kuni, your pixel cake is in the oven
Later
Kenjidarou	I always thought the Shopkeeper would be a good baker
LeShopkeeper	No, I got Suses to bake it
Later
LeShopkeeper	Your cake is ready
Later
LeShopkeeper	Suses just delivered your cake to SaboTeam, should be on their Discord soon

In the official Discord, the pixel cake was delivered to KuningasEST.

Thierry	Woah @KuningasEST, look what just came in!

In the morning, VoteX and VoteO were briefly tied. The Archivist posted this message.

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone I can only provide information if your intentions are clear. Please it make it so, so that this opportunity isn't missed a second time. I will return soon.

Eventually, VoteX eked out a victory by 1 vote. The Archivist deleted his message and replaced it with the following message.

#the-void

TheArchivist

@everyone And so you wish to know more about me, the one who, in an attempt to solve it all, ended up causing it all. It is still much too soon to unveil my full story, but I will now share a very important piece of information I was hoping to save for later: Before I took upon myself to roam alternate realities in an effort to catalog the complete space-time compendium looking for a solution, I was known as The Alchemist. While I acknowledge your decision and recognize that you have earned this piece of information, it is paramount that you ponder why I first needed you to witness Ninja's story. I must retire for now. Godspeed, Messengers!

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone Greetings, Messengers. Today I have selected three books from The Archives, so that you may decide together which you would like to see an excerpt from. I trust by now that you should be able to read the labels. Consort and choose wisely; I will return tomorrow.
	: 24 : 6 : 3 : 4

February 5, 2019

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone It seems making the red herring green was all it took. While you have yet to realize why I needed you to witness Ninja's story first, that bit of information is subjective to me and would never be found in an objective record of events. Ninja's story has already been fully fleshed-out for you by SaboTeam, but reagardless, I offer you this mostly redundant excerpt:
TheArchivist	As some of you seem to doubt the real impact and potential of the choices I regularly present you with, I want to share today a few hints on what you missed: Had you chosen , I would have shown an excerpt detailing very important information about my origin story. Had you chosen , I would have shown an excerpt detailing what the Demon General's special power was before he lost an eye, and how he came to lose it. Had you been daring enough to choose , I would have reluctantly shown you the cover of the second book I intend to give SaboTeam, showing the title of the next big adventure way ahead of time. I can not solve this on my own. Moving forward, I hope you can appreciate the importance of your contribution. Godspeed!

The Clockwork Concierge briefly joined the official server. Before leaving, he namedropped a previously unknown location called "Clockwork Castle."

#general
Clockwork Concierge	@everyone So, is this the place?
Clockwork Concierge	Preposterous! This place is a mess!!
Clockwork Concierge	So much to do....
Clockwork Concierge	And not even a thousand members?? This is not worth my time yet.
Clockwork Concierge	I will return to the Clockwork Castle for now. Farewell.

February 7, 2019

One special day, The Archivist hopped out of #the-void text channel to deliver a very important react into the #ninjas text channel.

#ninjas
Spiderbenb	So, What exactly IS IT that The Archivist wants us to solve? I'm going back through The Void, but he's always alluding to Ninja's Story, but i honestly don't believe that that's what nneds to be solved.
Kammesennin	this
Kammesennin	The thing going wrong in the bigger picture
Coltaho	the thing
Kammesennin	^
Kammesennin	the thing he won't tell us about yet
Spiderbenb	He seems so confident in us, yet wont properly explain the situation in full.
Kammesennin	Ninja's Story is just something he needed us to witness first to prepare us for it. What he wants us to discuss concerning it is why
Spiderbenb	Like he's waiting for that eventual "Oh god THEY FINALLY GOT IT."
Kammesennin	I wouldn't mind him popping up one day like "YOU GUYS FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! I was beginning to question if you even would!"
Doom Man	I will do anything that means seeing the archivist himself more
Spiderbenb	He says it's Ninja's Story, but what if it's a character within Ninja's Story that we need to look at? We don't have to really look at Ninja for this, but what if it's actually someone within the story that has more value to them than what we originally thought? The Archivist react:

February 14, 2019

#the-void
TheArchivist	@everyone Greetings, Messengers. I have been following your discussions and I must say your dedication gives me hope. Today I present to you stone tablets which, properly ordered, should help give you a better sense of scope. Consider the following options, and cast your votes in ascending order to try and complete the timeline properly. That is, the option with the least votes would be the first one on the left, all the way to the option with the most votes occuring right before the last event already in place on the timeline below. For this occurence only, you are free to vote as many times as you wish. But whatever you do, do not cause a tie. Now consort, Messengers, and let your united voice be heard! If you can solve this puzzle, I will share more information on how and why I became immortal. I will return tomorrow. GODSPEED!

@everyone I have returned. You propose the following order: Birth of The Alchemist Hundreds of thousands of years gap The Flood Phantom's Curse begins Thousands of years gap Ninja carries the scroll That Timeline is entirely accurate. Congratulations, and thank you, adventurers, your attention to detail and ability to negociate with each other has warmed my heart once again. Since you have beaten this challenge, I will now share a little more. -Mine is a tale of forbidden love. After becoming alchemists, we set out to create the Elixir of Life, so that we could live until society became more accepting. -I am not a Blue Robe. As conveyed by this completed Timeline, I predate their order by an unfathomable stretch of time. It will be a while until my next visit. In the meantime, I will ask SaboTeam to make this community hub a more habitable place. Oh, and do try to recruit the Clockwork Concierge, he's a thorough one and should come in handy. Please tell him I said hi. Farewell for now. And as always, Godspeed, Messengers!

Spiderbenb summoned the Clockwork Concierge back to the official server. The Clockwork Concierge was unsatisfied with the member count and renegotiated a higher wage with the admins before leaving again.

#ninjas
Spiderbenb	But now we have a new quest
Spiderbenb	Get in here
Thierry	yo don't ping the concierge like that
Thierry	omg Spider

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Who dares ring the bell?
Clockwork Concierge	What is this @Philip? I thought we had an agreement. A thousand members!
Philip	This didn't pick up the way we expected, can't you just join us now?
Clockwork Concierge	Preposterous! I have standards!
Clockwork Concierge	Unless of course, we can renegociate my wage.
Philip	Yo @SaboMart - Can we do something about this?
SaboMart	Hmm. You know how cheap I am.
SaboMart	But I like the Concierge a lot. Would a 25% raise be ok for you ?
Clockwork Concierge	25%??? Preposterous!
Clockwork Concierge	How about 50?
SaboMart	30%
Clockwork Concierge	45%!!
SaboMart	40%. That's the final offer!
Clockwork Concierge	...
Clockwork Concierge	Fine. But I'm not coming back until you at least reach 500.
SaboMart	DEAL!
Spiderbenb	What's our Member count currently?
Clockwork Concierge	I'll go back to the Clockwork Castle for now. Farewell!
Philip	418 @Spiderbenb

Rainbowdragoneyes, the composer of the music for The Messenger, had a casual conversation with The Shopkeeper. The Shopkeeper offered Rainbowdragoneyes an opportunity to fast-travel to SaboTeam's office using a portal that would be created by The Artificer. In return, The Shopkeeper requested some tiki music for his Picnic Panic tiki shop.

#general
Kammesennin	I'm just gonna stick to judging for that one time Shopkeeper was here and willing to answer a question and the question nobody asked was "Do you have any stories to share?"
dosboxfalco	wtf
VeggieDelphine
Gooberbarbarian
VeggieDelphine	I still feel bad about that
dosboxfalco	we're self-aware enough to do that nowadays, thank goodness
Gooberbarbarian	Wait RDE I have a legitimate question
Rainbowdragoneyes	Ok
Gooberbarbarian	Ahhhh the shopkeeper joined
VeggieDelphine	OMG
Gooberbarbarian	Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thierry	Well well well, if it ain't @Rainbowdragoneyes
Gooberbarbarian	Speak of the devil much
VeggieDelphine	So your question is canceled ?
Thierry	I think you triggered the shopkeeper :\
Rainbowdragoneyes	Well well well if ain't well well well
The Shopkeeper	Oh I'm just lurking
Rainbowdragoneyes	How ya feelin @Thierry
The Shopkeeper	This explains why you wouldn't answer my DMs
Thierry	...
The Shopkeeper	So, "RDE"
Rainbowdragoneyes	Oh hey, @The Shopkeeper
The Shopkeeper	I listened to the Surf music track today and I gotta say, I'm still waiting on that tiki music for my shop
Rainbowdragoneyes	You are? Have you been on vacation or something?
Rainbowdragoneyes	I had it installed recently
The Shopkeeper	I've been preparing for the adventure, Voodkin Island is... well, I guess you know now...
Rainbowdragoneyes	I heard, poor Phobekins
Thierry	Come on @The Shopkeeper, the portal won't remain open for long, plase ask already
The Shopkeeper	Huh
Rainbowdragoneyes	Are we supposed to be asking him something?
The Shopkeeper	I am
Rainbowdragoneyes	Oh
The Shopkeeper	It's a bit embarrassing
The Shopkeeper	And for the record, I wish you would answer my DMs moving forward, so that I don't have to waste my time here
The Shopkeeper	SaboTeam needs your help once again
The Shopkeeper	Hands on help, that is
The Shopkeeper	What are your plans for next week?
Rainbowdragoneyes	Wait do I have DMs? How do I discord
The Shopkeeper	@Rainbowdragoneyes if you are available, I will ask The Artificer to open a portal to SaboTeam's office so you can be with them next week
The Shopkeeper	All I ask in return is that you hook me up with tiki music for my shop
Rainbowdragoneyes	Sure, got nothin going on
Rainbowdragoneyes	Tiki themed you say?
The Shopkeeper	Tiki themed, yes
VeggieDelphine	But the Artificier is the one doing a favor
The Shopkeeper	With lots of beeps and boops
VeggieDelphine	What will he get
Rainbowdragoneyes	You know me and my beeped bopps
Rainbowdragoneyes	boops
Rainbowdragoneyes	i cant spell or do anything right
The Shopkeeper	@VeggieDelphine It's more about what he won't get
Rainbowdragoneyes	@The Shopkeeper was it you that hacked my websites?
The Shopkeeper	@Rainbowdragoneyes if your indirectly asking whether we are even now, yes
Rainbowdragoneyes	https://tenor.com/view/angry-gif-5902151
The Shopkeeper	I should get back to it then
The Shopkeeper	I can take one question if you make it quick
Gooberbarbarian	Wait shoppy can u say my name so I can screenshot it and frame it on my wall
Kammesennin	Do you have any stories to share?
VeggieDelphine	Shoppy can you tell us anything on the other blue robes
Rainbowdragoneyes	Yes go peddle your wares to wanton adventurers
Gooberbarbarian	Wuts ur favorite flavor of boba teaaaaaaaaa
The Shopkeeper	Sure, feel free to waste this second opporutnity
VeggieDelphine	Who is your least favourite ninja?
Gooberbarbarian	Oof
The Shopkeeper	There you go : Gooberbarbarian

Later, members were wondering which question The Shopkeeper was answering, and Thierry clarified.

#general
Thierry	Pretty sure Shoppy just picks the very question that is asked after the prompt

February 27, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge returned and recruited Kammesennin as a moderator for the official server. Then the Clockwork Concierge left again.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Good day, everyone!
Clockwork Concierge	My, how time flies. I see a lot of activity, please tell me I haven't missed the 500 mark!
Kammesennin	Not just yet
Clockwork Concierge	Excellent. I was worried for a moment there, I shudder to think of how unprofessional it would have been of me.
Clockwork Concierge	At a later time then. Meanwhile, I believe this place could do with an additional moderator.
Clockwork Concierge	Let me see...
Clockwork Concierge	@Kammesennin, I have been watching you and believe you are worthy if such a title.
Kammesennin
Clockwork Concierge	Do you accept this mandate?
Kammesennin
Kammesennin	I... Yes! I do!
Kammesennin	I'd be a fool to say no.
Kammesennin	I am honored by your consideration!
Clockwork Concierge	It is settled then. I will return to fullfill my end of the bargain as soon as you all fullfill yours.
Clockwork Concierge	Back to the Clockwork Castle for now! Farewell, Messengers.

March 12, 2019

After 500 members joined the official Discord server, Clockwork Concierge was successfully recruited to the server, where he serves as a bot and a moderator. He (mostly) uses dialogue boxes as a form of communication rather than just plain text.

The Clockwork Concierge cleaned and rearranged some of the channels, such as renaming the #ninjas text channel to #ninja-village. The Clockwork Concierge chatted with members, and he explained that he was sent to the server by The Archivist. The Concierge also hinted at #the-shop text channel and gave more information about the Clockwork Castle.

The Clockwork Concierge says hello to the community.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Good day, Messengers!
Clockwork Concierge	My, this place is in dire need of a spring clean!
Clockwork Concierge	Utterly unacceptable.
Clockwork Concierge	Please standby while I get things in order.
dosboxfalco	dude he has a quote generator
dosboxfalco	wtf
dosboxfalco
Clockwork Concierge	Now now, no need to flip out, dosboxfalco
VeggieDelphine	!!!
VeggieDelphine	He sent me a message !!!!
VeggieDelphine
VeggieDelphine
Clockwork Concierge	Why of course Delphine.
Clockwork Concierge	Feel free to spam my DMs. I am here to serve.
Clockwork Concierge	Gosh Philip, there is so much to do before we can allow [Ninjas] to open The Shop.
Clockwork Concierge	I should get back to cleaning for now. Big changes are coming.
Clockwork Concierge	Please visit the rules channel at your earliest convenience.
Clockwork Concierge	Also it appears I cannot use hashtags. Please advise, Philip.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Still some parts of the manual i'm not sure I understood properly. Will get into more reading and come back soon.

#ninja-village
Gooberbarbarian	Ooh we can DM him???
VeggieDelphine	write anything starting with !
VeggieDelphine	like !help
Spiderbenb
Spiderbenb	How many questions is too many for Clockwork Concierge?

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Try me, Spiderbenb.
Doom Man	Lead us to your creator- Uh I mean good day Clockwork Concierge! May you give us insights on how you were born and what lead you to do what you do today?
Clockwork Concierge	Apologies, Doom Man. I am not at liberty to speak of my origins.
VeggieDelphine	who is your boss ?
VeggieDelphine	who lives in the clockwork castle ?
OHSHIET	Hey Clockwork Concierge, why is there so much useless empty space underneath?
OHSHIET	BUG OR FEATURE?!?!?!!
Clockwork Concierge	The Archivist sent me. I am not at liberty to speak of my duties over at the Clockwork Castle.
Spiderbenb	Where is The Clockwork Castle anyways?
Clockwork Concierge	I must admit I am also quite unnerved by all this empty space every time I speak. It seems Philip's plate is quite full indeed.
Clockwork Concierge	Curious, are we? The Clockwork Castle floats above the open sea, slightly to the west of where Ninjas live. Whether or not adventure will take you there is yet to be determined.
Thierry	wooooo easy there concierge
Thierry	we only promised to do chapter 1
Clockwork Concierge	But chapter 3 is my favorite!
Thierry	take it up with The Archivist, I'm not discussing this here
Doom Man	There's one more thing I'd like to know, and of course you don't have to answer if you can't. How's Manfred doing? Do you two go well together? And if so do you think we'll ever get to meet him too here?
Clockwork Concierge	...
Thierry	yo @Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator) can you make the concierge not so keen to give out spoilers?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	I'll have to read The Clockwork Concierge volume 2 to dive into more advanced features.
Clockwork Concierge	Doom Man, it would seem that that is actually not enough text for one dialog box.

March 13, 2019

Nothing out of the ordinary happens.

The Clockwork Concierge lectures Philip.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Yet another useless command Philip, you have so much to learn.
Spiderbenb	Wowzers
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	That's a complicated engine, managed to implement stuff up to page 17 of the first manual.
Clockwork Concierge	Why don't you give him a hand Spiderbenb?
Spiderbenb	Well now I'd love to. I got nothing better to do today anyways.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Sure, I just realized the Clockwork Concierge engine can inform you of the level of knowledge you have of it. If you send him !version he will give you feedback about your current implementation.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Still very early it seems.
VeggieDelphine	!version
Kammesennin	You have to send it to him directly I believe.
Clockwork Concierge	In private, please.

March 14, 2019 (Discord)

The Clockwork Concierge revealed that there is a connection between The Iron Hood and the money sink inside the shop.

The Clockwork Concierge questions the money sink's presence in the shop.

#general
OHSHIET	https://youtu.be/Vf8r1wVTdHc
Clockwork Concierge	The Money Sink? What is it doing in the Shop?
Clockwork Concierge	This is unacceptable, I thought I gave clear instructions to Iron Hood.
Spiderbenb	So, The Clockwork Concierge is insinuating that he knows Iron Hood. Who else does he know about?
VeggieDelphine	Please tell us more Clockwork Concierge
Clockwork Concierge	Clueless as to what is about to happen, aren't we?
OHSHIET	Is Clockwork Concierge he or it?
Clockwork Concierge	You can refer to me however you choose, as long as you stay polite and pay due respect to the monocle.
VeggieDelphine	But what are we to you ? Your staff ? Your customers ??
Clockwork Concierge	I am here to serve.

March 14, 2019 (Twitch)

The Shopkeeper visited Kammesennin's Twitch stream of The Messenger.

During Kammesennin's stream, Kammesennin read The Shopkeeper's "Current area" dialogue in Quillshroom Marsh. The actual Shopkeeper chimed in by posting a comment in Kammesennin's Twitch chat, where The Shopkeeper confirmed that the "I once had to look through the mud for an artifact" quote was a reference to the Magic Seashell.

The Shopkeeper comments about the Magic Seashell on Kammesennin's Twitch stream.

LeShopkeeper

Anyone ever pick up on that Seashell reference?

The Shopkeeper went unnoticed in the Twitch chat until a bit later, around the time Kammesennin reached the Arcane Golem fight.

The Shopkeeper says hello.

ZeoLive	Do we know who the first messenger was? Not like who the first Blue Robe is, but who the actual first Messenger is. As in an established character that is not currently part of the robes.
djfizzix	as far as I know, no
ZeoLive	Those robes don't have a messenger
spiderbenb	It was established in The Messenger Discord that Shopkeeper was first.
djfizzix	tellll meeeeeee
LeShopkeeper	Oh, hi.

The Shopkeeper also dropped a rumor about The Iron Hood and the money sink in the Twitch chat.

The Shopkeeper comments about The Iron Hood.

LeShopkeeper	Iron Hood, huh?
LeShopkeeper	Some say he hid in the sink...

During the cutscene that occurs after defeating Barma'thazël, where Ninja is a shopkeeper, Kammesennin asked out loud if The Shopkeeper had any stories to share, and The Shopkeeper responded with the following.

The Shopkeeper continues to converse.

LeShopkeeper

Oh I did have a story but you darted straight to the boss.

Kammesennin offered to wait before progressing the story even further, but The Shopkeeper declined the offer.

LeShopkeeper

Hey, no problem. I moved on already.

After the "Ray Troid" joke that occurs between Ninja and Soldier in the game's dialogue, one of Kammesennin's Twitch stream viewers mentioned that they did not understand the joke.

djfizzix	i dont get that one tbh
ZeoLive	Met-Troid
djfizzix	OH
djfizzix
ZeoLive	LuL
LeShopkeeper	wow
LeShopkeeper	I guess "some won't"
djfizzix	ouch. shopkeeper burn
ZeoLive	Indeed. LuL

March 15, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge dropped a hint that The Archivist told the Concierge to guard an evil object inside of the Clockwork Castle. The Concierge then posted a message with important names censored, which was deleted by SaboTeam.

#dojo
Vascos	@ClockworkConcierge Hi

The Clockwork Concierge says hello to Vascos.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Greetings, Vascos. It appears I am only able to speak in the general channel.
Soleil	The Archivist said to say "hi" a long time ago.
Clockwork Concierge	Is that so, Soleil? Quite unlike his character.
Soleil	Is he not very social?
Clockwork Concierge	If you ask me, he is mainly very busy and concerned. Even though I would never question The Archivist's wisdom, I sometimes wonder why he would have me set aside the thing I am guarding over at the Clockwork Castle.
Thierry	Yo Concierge, can you not?
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message]
Thierry	ok enough !
Thierry	time out for a few days
Thierry	jeez
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	alright, time for maintenance.

Paraphrasing of the deleted message:

Clockwork Concierge

"I wonder if it would censor me [******] disabled [*****'******]'s special power."

The first asterisk word was blue, like the name of a friendly character. The second word was red, like the name of something related to evil.

The first asterisk word was six letters long, and the second word had an apostrophe, according to Boo, a person who was able to memorize part of the message before it was deleted.

March 18, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge returned to the server to ask an important question about Colos and Suses.

The Clockwork Concierge's speech ability is reactivated.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Greetings! It appears Philip has seen fit to enable my speech again.
Clockwork Concierge	I must say I am quite delighted, there is a very important question I have been meaning to ask.
Clockwork Concierge	Colos or Suses?
VeggieDelphine	Depends on the context
VeggieDelphine	Do you want to know who we would save if they were both in danger ?
VeggieDelphine	Or who we think is stronger
Clockwork Concierge	I already know which one is strongest. I meant to inquire as to which of the two you prefer.
Soleil	Suses baked Kuni a cake, so I'm voting Suses.
Clockwork Concierge	A cake you say? Sounds like Suses has potential to be a caterer.
Clockwork Concierge	If you don't mind me asking, what positive traits do you see in Colos?
VeggieDelphine	Pecs
VeggieDelphine
Soleil	Fashionable necklace?
OHSHIET	He can run infinitely
Clockwork Concierge	So pecs are positive? My, every day I learn something new!
Kammesennin	He acknowledes and confirms his brother's observations, yet politely corrects him when he believes him to be mistaken. He is a good brother.
VeggieDelphine	Both are good brothers, are they not ?
Kammesennin	I didn't say Suses was not.
Kammesennin	We're just talking about Colos.
VeggieDelphine	Right ... but it's hard to say something that would make Colos better, since Suses probably has the same qualities
Clockwork Concierge	So, Colos can run infinitely, has a nice necklace, pecs, and is a good brother?
Clockwork Concierge	And how would you describe Suses?
VeggieDelphine
heather	suses is creative and bold
heather	and has nice eyes
heather	er
heather	eye
Soleil	He's very good at making cakes.
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: :datbumbum:] [note: the message was plain text rather than properly displaying the emote]
Sage	He could survive planetary annihilation and abduction given how well he can work his towel
Soleil	Also I like how carefree he looks, even after death.
Clockwork Concierge	Thank you everyone, allow me to summarize.
Clockwork Concierge	So, Colos can run infinitely, has a nice necklace, pecs, and is a good brother.
Clockwork Concierge	Suses, on the hand, bakes good cakes, has a nice eye, could survive planetary annihilation, and is carefree after death.
Clockwork Concierge	So I ask you again, Colos or Suses?
Clockwork Concierge	*on the other hand
Clockwork Concierge	Thank you Philip, it appears I can self-corect now.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Clockwork Concierge grammar module still is in beta.
Clockwork Concierge	*correct
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	will get deeper into the end of tome 1.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	I heard tome 2 had implementation details for a lot of interesting features.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)

March 19, 2019

The Shopkeeper was summoned into the server by Doom Man's fake Shopkeeper dialogue box, and The Shopkeeper gave a sneak peek of the 16-bit Picnic Panic shop. Later, the Clockwork Concierge and Phil, the Clockwork Operator, discussed their plan to funnel Time Shards from the community in order to fund a Discord branch of the shop.

#ninja-village
Doom Man
The Shopkeeper	I'm sorry did you just impersonate me?
dosboxfalco	correct
The Shopkeeper	You could at least update your avatar.
dosboxfalco	yo Shopkeeper, nice lei
OHSHIET	This is a fanart, careful lol
The Shopkeeper	Fanart?
Spiderbenb	Oh hey, It's Shopkeeper.
The Shopkeeper	More like BANart.
The Shopkeeper	Alright, I'll let this one slide.
dosboxfalco
Spiderbenb	Good joke, Last time i heard that one i fell off my dinosaur.
Doom Man	I will update my avatar but to be the prophet instead cause no one has been
OHSHIET	This makes you a false Shopkeeper
Doom Man	also that isn't the fan art you're thinking of. I made that fan made thing before the shopkeeper appeared
Spiderbenb	Nope, it's the real shopkeeper.
Doom Man	it looked way worse
OHSHIET	I know
Spiderbenb	My friend request to him is still pending.
OHSHIET	This fanart is really good btw
Spiderbenb	Anyway, Jokes aside. Any reason why you're here today Shopkeeper?
OHSHIET	Do you have any stories to share?
OHSHIET	Also he doesn't have the "Characters" role
The Shopkeeper	Just checking the place out, I'm almost done setting up shop on Voodkin Island, and looking for my next venture.
dosboxfalco	What's there to set up? You live in the Tower of Time...
OHSHIET	We are really looking forward to see that Picnic Panic styled Shop
Spiderbenb	Well, Clockwork Concierge is here. So you know it's pretty well made here now.
Doom Man	Will the shop be organized accordingly to fit the vacation?
OHSHIET	And we can use it for the wiki then instead of boss background
The Shopkeeper	Happy now, @OHSHIET ?
OHSHIET
dosboxfalco
Spiderbenb
Spiderbenb	So, can we expect a Shop here as well? OR in the very least a portal to your shop?
The Shopkeeper	Not too shabby, check out this selfie.
Doom Man	lovely
Spiderbenb	Looks pretty awesome so far
The Shopkeeper	I'm not clear on this yet, @Spiderbenb, but Concierge is trying hard to convince me. I guess we'll find out soon.
Spiderbenb	What do you suppose would thoroughly convince you to set up shop here?
The Shopkeeper	10 000 Time Shards should be enough. Take it up with the Concierge.
The Shopkeeper	Anyway, I should get back to it. See you in the tropics.

The Clockwork Concierge asks for clarification.

#general
Spiderbenb	So. Is the Clockwork Concierge able to give us any insight on how to get The shopkeeper here? Convsidering he wants 10 000 Time Shards.
Clockwork Concierge	Pardon?
Doom Man
Clockwork Concierge	Interesting, so you indeed would like to see the shop have a branch here?
Spiderbenb	It would be interesting nonetheless.
Doom Man	Why yes, we would.
Spiderbenb	Or in the very least a portal to the shop if setting up shop here proves to be a difficult task.
Clockwork Concierge	Fabulous! I will discuss this with Philip, clearly he doesn't have enough on his plate already.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	damn, this is a lot of pressure.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	I'll see what I can do.
Clockwork Concierge	Don't worry Philip, I only need you to connect the wires properly. The Time Shards will be gathered by the community.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Alright, let's get to work.
Doom Man	How I imagine Phil and the Concierge talking to each other
Clockwork Concierge	I am sadly unable to unsee this.

March 20, 2019

The Time Shard emoticon was introduced to the server.

The Clockwork Concierge bypasses his silent mode.

#general
OHSHIET
Doom Man	that's what the concierge sees whenever phil stops him from talking for a limited time
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	he is on silent mode for a big upgrade, don't want you guys to see all his cryptic logs right now.
OHSHIET	Your still on page 20
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	The last update was on page 20.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	But page 20 was the end of chapter 1.
Clockwork Concierge	Please define silent mode, Philip.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	omg
Clockwork Concierge	Thankfully I am not a rogue AI.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	I guess the rookie part of my name now makes sense.
Clockwork Concierge	About those Time Shards, I have been thinking about what you said and I believe your idea could work.
Doom Man	when your creator says he will make you better but he can't even properly silence you
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	oh well.
Thierry	wooooo concierge, don't go there
OHSHIET	Take these:
Kammesennin	What would you even do with teeth?
Clockwork Concierge	Allow me to rephrase then. I am glad my builders opted against giving me teeth.
Kammesennin	I'm happy to have some now
Kammesennin
OHSHIET	x999999999
OHSHIET	When is Shoppy back? Now we can give him 10k
Clockwork Concierge	Philip, our guests seem very excited about the gathering of Time Shards. Do you have any idea when we will have everything in place?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	soon™
Clockwork Concierge	Could you define soon™?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Friday.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	now let me get back to work.
Clockwork Concierge	Fabulous! I shall prepare on my side too.
Spiderbenb	He says "Friday" but for all we know since "Time is Relative" it could've been one Friday last year.
VeggieDelphine	Maybe Friday is today
Spiderbenb	Indeed
Kammesennin	Maybe next Friday.
Kammesennin	He didn't say which Friday.
Clockwork Concierge	Maybe Friday is Friday.

KuningasEST was streaming a speedrun of The Messenger at the time, and the Clockwork Concierge recommended others to watch it. Also later that day, the Clockwork Concierge referenced another video game.

The Clockwork Concierge recommends KuningasEST's stream.

Stéphanie	Is there a The Messenger megalo
Spiderbenb	Not that I'm aware of
Clappj	Someone should make that
Clappj	And use ruxxtin's theme as reference
Clockwork Concierge	Could anyone explain what a Megalo is? It appears I have much to learn still.
Clockwork Concierge	All my database refers to is a song from a quite unique game I played a little while ago.
Clappj	The Concierge is a gamer
Clappj	This has some serious implications
Clappj	If canon
Clockwork Concierge	Aren't we all, Clappj?

March 22, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge started keeping record of the amount of Time Shards the community had amassed. He also held a small quiz for bonus Time Shards.

Later that day, the Clockwork Concierge received a message from The Archivist to deliver to Phil. Thierry intercepted the message in stead of Phil, and per the Clockwork Concierge's request, Thierry closed down #the-void channel, since it was too expensive to maintain while The Archivist was away on a dangerous quest.

The Clockwork Concierge would go on to offer more bonus Time Shards, involving Pitou reactions. Then the Concierge wrote messages related to the Demon King that were swiftly deleted by SaboTeam.

Legitimate Ted	Yes
Legitimate Ted	We hear you concierge
Shokushu	watch out for the feedback
Boo	Seems to work perfectly, Sir Concierge
TheBigK1
Kammesennin	Microphone is functioning at at least 99%.
Clockwork Concierge	Beautiful! Don't forget to DM me your requests, Messengers. !progress to track global progress. Those with the Ninja role can also use !nominate with the username they wish to see nominated.
Clockwork Concierge	I believe I should give away of few shards to start thing off proper. Are any of few up for some beginner trivia?
Kammesennin	Let's do it!
Boo	I'm ready for that
Legitimate Ted	Messenger trivia or real world trivia
Babushka	Let's goooo
Legitimate Ted	Cause I'm gonna be next to useless for one of those
Clockwork Concierge	Alright, let's try three easy questions. Number one how far into the future did the Tower of Time take Ninja?

Clockwork Concierge	Philip, I have news from The Archivist.
Clockwork Concierge	He has left for a very dangerous quest and will not return for a while. I believe he located another one.
Clockwork Concierge	Please close The Void in the meantime. It won't be worth the upkeep costs until he returns.
Thierry	?
Thierry	How can we know we will be able to open it again?
Clockwork Concierge	The orders are clear, Thierry. Please advise.
Thierry	...
Thierry	Okay then. I'll take care of it Phil.

Thierry	oooooook
Boo	Oh, Concierge

To celebrate Sabotage Studio's birthday, the Clockwork Concierge held a trivia quiz with 2,000 Time Shards as the prize.

The Clockwork Concierge returns from another hiatus.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Greetings, Messengers! It appears I am fully operational once again.
VeggieDelphine	Hello Clocko ! Must feel good to get your voice back !
OHSHIET
Clockwork Concierge	Why, it certainly does. Todays is a good day, especially since we are celebrating Sabotage turning 3 years old.
Clockwork Concierge	*today
Clockwork Concierge	Delighted to see my auto-correct functions are also back online.
Clockwork Concierge	To celebrate this day, I was granted permission to bestow 2000 bonus Time Shards should you answer 3 advanced trivia questions successfully.
Clockwork Concierge	Once you feel the required Messengers are available, call on me at your convenience.
Clockwork Concierge	There are 6 hours left. I have a lot to prepare for tonight's festivities, but you may DM my operator at any time to get my attention.
Damyon	I'll happily start answering, I love questionnaires like this
Clockwork Concierge	Do you now, Damyon?
VeggieDelphine	wait !
Damyon	Er- wait a sec
VeggieDelphine	can't we wait for Soleil, at least ?
Damyon	This isn't a one time thing, right?
VeggieDelphine	I think it is
Damyon	Oh, nevermind then
VeggieDelphine	and we will have to work together, probably
Damyon	I don't wanna waste this chance
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message] [note: most likely deleted due to a typo]
Clockwork Concierge	Now now, as stated earlier we will wait until you are all ready, but I believe Damyon can do a warm up round for 50 bonus Time Shards.
Damyon	Oh, just a warm up? That's fine
Clockwork Concierge	Ready, Damyon?
Damyon	Yes
Clockwork Concierge	Serendipitous! So tell me, Damyon, which very cute character's name is contained within the word 'serendipitous'?
Damyon	Hmm
Damyon	Pitou
Clockwork Concierge	We have a winner! That's 50 Time Shards, thank you for playing, Damyon.
OHSHIET	can we try again? File:Ruxxtin2.png File:Ruxxtin2.png
Clockwork Concierge	My, another warm up round? Are you ready then, OHSHIET?
OHSHIET	Ok!
Clockwork Concierge	Delightful! OHSHIET, for 100 Time Shards What is the requirement for a Leaf Monster to come out of hiding?
OHSHIET	A full moon.
OHSHIET	(And maybe someone to trigger the Leaf Monster)
Clockwork Concierge	Indeed, the answer is a full moon. That's 100 Time Shards! Congratulations OHSHIET.

VeggieDelphine	So ... what do we do about that Clockwork Concierge's quizz ?
VeggieDelphine	He said we had 6 hours ... about 4 hours ago ?
Clockwork Concierge	I am ready when you are, though there is only an hour and a half left.
Spiderbenb	How tough are these questions anyways? What should we expect?
VeggieDelphine	The warm up was easy
VeggieDelphine	but it was a warm up
VeggieDelphine	we don't know
Clockwork Concierge	We are celebrating a birthday, I wouldn't stress too much over this.
Gooberbarbarian	So everybody's just waiting patiently
Spiderbenb	Yeah, I thought I'd kill time by trying to ask The Clockwork Concierge a question.
Spiderbenb	Technically it's about a Theory i have, But not one that you'd expect.
Clockwork Concierge	What is your question, Spiderbenb?
Spiderbenb	Should i be aware of any dangerous implications of opening a portal?
Clockwork Concierge	That would depend on the portal.
Doom Man	Can I ask something too sir
Spiderbenb	A Portal To The Void.
Clockwork Concierge	Go for it Doom Man, I shall only be vague if you are.
Spiderbenb	As bad as that sounds, I'm vastly curious on the area itself in hopes of learning more about it.
Doom Man	Alrighty so we know that you know a few things about the shopkeeper and the shop itself. Do you know the person who the shopkeeper got its music from?
Soleil	He got his music from Rainbowdragoneyes, right?
Doom Man	I just want to be sure if there's more behind that
OHSHIET	Clocko can we now begin our quiz? Soleils here
Clockwork Concierge	My knowledge of The Void is sadly very limited, Spiderbenb. While the kids who reconfigured my circuits were attuned to Time Magic, its effects remain lost on me.
Thierry	Easy, Concierge.
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message] [note: most likely deleted due to a typo]
Clockwork Concierge	Oh yes, the festivities! There is so much to do...
Clockwork Concierge	Are we ready for a little quizz, then? There are 2000 Time Shards on the line!
Clockwork Concierge	Please take 5 minutes to determine who will be responsible for providing final answers. Any Ninja will do.
VeggieDelphine	Soleil ?
Gooberbarbarian	Ya
DavidOnze	ya
Doom Man	We're all gonna choose soleil really
MFC	Soleil if she's online
Sage	ya
Doom Man	And I think if by chance soleil doesn't know something, then we can try our own answers
OHSHIET	Thierry
OHSHIET	Choose Thierry he knows the answers
OHSHIET	Yo @Thiеrry do you want to test your skills in The Messenger lore?
Clockwork Concierge	Discussion is very much allowed for every question. I am simply looking for an official representative to provide final answers.
Clappj	Soleil
Ashes	Soleil
Clockwork Concierge	Do you accept, Soleil?
Soleil	Sure.
Clockwork Concierge	IT'S SHOWTIME !!!
Clockwork Concierge	Excuse me, I get very excited about quizzes....
Clockwork Concierge	Using the best of five model, you must obtain 3 right answers before obtaining 3 wrong answers.
Clockwork Concierge	Question 1, true or false Sabotage was founded in April 2016.
OHSHIET	3 years. Looks obvious.
VeggieDelphine	True !
DavidOnze	true
Soleil	Should I say it now?
VeggieDelphine	Yes
VeggieDelphine	True
DavidOnze	yes
Soleil	Answer: True
Clockwork Concierge	That answer is...
Clockwork Concierge	CORRECT
[lots of celebrating from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: Question 2, true or false Colos]
[lots of confusion from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	Question 2, true or false Colos and Suses are cousins.
Gooberbarbarian	False
Gooberbarbarian	Dumb brothers
Soleil	The narrator mentions they are brothers and also their Steam card.
OHSHIET	The previous question was more interesting
Kammesennin	I'm confident that Soleil has this.
DavidOnze	false
MFC	false
DavidOnze	they are bruddas
Soleil	Answer: False
Clockwork Concierge	That answer is...
Clockwork Concierge	CORRECT
[lots of celebrating from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	Question 3, written answer. The Archivist first needed everyone to witness Ninja's story to provide a sense of the future that needs saving, but mainly because he encountered something extremely relevant to Book 2. What is it?
[7 minutes of fruitless discussion]
Clockwork Concierge	Shall I start a timer?
Gooberbarbarian	No
MFC	oh no
VeggieDelphine	No, we prefer no timer
DavidOnze	OH NO
Gooberbarbarian	Not required
Clockwork Concierge	Final answer due in 2 minutes.
[1 minute of panicked discussion]
Clockwork Concierge	Final answer due in 1 minute.
Soleil	Answer: Demon King
Clockwork Concierge	That answer is...
Clockwork Concierge	INCORRECT
[many upset reactions from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	Do you want me to stop the quizz? I only mean to have fun on this day of celebration!
[a chorus of "no"s]
Clockwork Concierge	Fabulous, let's move on then!
Clockwork Concierge	Question 4, written answer. What is the Clockwork Castle keeping out of reach of the Demons?
Soleil	Related?
VeggieDelphine	ohhhh
Gooberbarbarian	Ooh
MFC	i think it is
VeggieDelphine	probably YES
Kammesennin	Definitely seems related
Doom Man	Maybe remnants are like the remaining demons
Gooberbarbarian	They are guarding the remnants
Kammesennin	But we don't know what they are remnants of.
VeggieDelphine	remnants of the true demon king ???
Spiderbenb	Just go with Remnants maybe?
MFC	Just Remnants is a safe choice
Gooberbarbarian	Go with Remnants
VeggieDelphine	Is it precise enough ?
Clockwork Concierge	I require a specific answer.
Soleil	Answer: Remnants
Clockwork Concierge	Please elaborate. Remnants of what?
Gooberbarbarian	Remnants of the demon king?
Gooberbarbarian	Remnants of the blue robes?
Boud	Remnants of something evil
Boud	but what?
FrankyDess	Remanants of somethint the archivist did that summoned the demon in the first place
Doom Man	Remnants of the demon king feels like the closest thing
Stéphanie	I'd guess remnants of the blue robes that couldn't escape the Tower when and File:ShopkeeperEmote.png did
Soleil	I'll go with what Doom Man said unless anyone disagrees.
VeggieDelphine	I agree
Boud	Maybe the Archivist shatterred the Demon King
FrankyDess	I agre
MFC	I agree
Stéphanie	Oooh
Gooberbarbarian
DavidOnze	agree
Stéphanie	And it's chasing him
Stéphanie	Yes
Boud	wich in turn spread across alternate universes
Stéphanie	Remnants of the King
Soleil	Answer: Remnants of the Demon King
Clockwork Concierge	That answer is...
Clockwork Concierge	CORRECT!!! Congratulations Messengers, you have earned 2000 Time Shards!!!
[lots and lots of celebrating from the community]
Stéphanie	I need to see what the other questions were
FrankyDess	Well isnt there another question for more birthday fun?
FrankyDess	Before the festivities?
Doom Man	Yeah I want question 5
Doom Man	I don't wanna feel like we missed out
Babushka	yeah let us see the question 5
DavidOnze	question 5: colos 2
Kammesennin	Yeah! Can we have the fifth question even if there's no bonus?
MFC	Gimme question 5
Clockwork Concierge	Question 5 wasn't fair, I suggest we let it rest.
[lots of disappointed responses, and bargaining, from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: Question 5, in tile units. If tree was as high as 3 Leaf Monsters divided by 1 half Ruxxtin, what would it's height be after multiplying it by 5?]
Clockwork Concierge	Question 5, in tile units. If a tree was as high as 3 Leaf Monsters divided by 1 half Ruxxtin, what would it's height be after multiplying it by 5?
Doom Man	Half a ruxxtin Does that mean himself or including the staff in the sprite
Clockwork Concierge	Head to toe, no stilts no staff.
[14 minutes of math discussion]
Clockwork Concierge	If a tree was as high as 3 Leaf Monsters divided by 1 half Ruxxtin, what would it's height be after multiplying it by 5?
Stéphanie
Kammesennin	64.86486486486486
Clockwork Concierge	64.86 IS CORRECT !!! Congratuations!
[lots of celebrating from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	I am late for the festivities, so let's do a quick pitou bonus round. For the next 2 minutes, all pitou reacts on this post are worth 2 Time Shards!!!
	: 16
Clockwork Concierge	Scroll up for more pitous! One minute left!
Clockwork Concierge	16 pitous! That's 32 Time Shards. Thank you all for playing, and Happy Birthday, SaboTeam!
[lots of shocked reactions from the community that "SaboTeam" was red text]
Clockwork Concierge	SaboTeam FTFM
Clockwork Concierge	SaboTeam
Clockwork Concierge	Concierge signing out, enjoy the rest of your day, Messengers.

The Shopkeeper popped by to give a sneak peek of the upcoming Discord branch of the shop.

#general
The Shopkeeper	So, I'm all set and the talent tree is up, how's the time shard count, @Clockwork Concierge ?
Spiderbenb	Concierge is under maintenance right now
The Shopkeeper	Still under maintenance, huh?
The Shopkeeper	Oh well, I supposed you're all still short on shards.
The Shopkeeper	Next week, then?
Gooberbarbarian	Sure
The Shopkeeper	You do understand how things are going to play out, right?
The Shopkeeper	One of you will get the role, and thus a private audience.
The Shopkeeper	First upgrade, as always, will be on the house.
The Shopkeeper	I must confess I have my own guess on which you will pick first...
Gooberbarbarian
Gooberbarbarian	;)
Soleil	Wow Goober is so lucky.
The Shopkeeper	Come on Soleil, I once changed my profile pic just for you -_-'
Soleil
Soleil	Thanks again btw, very Christmas-y outfit
The Shopkeeper	Oh you can buy all sorts of things in my shop. Whether the community's will is considered and/or followed will be up to whoever is The Messenger.
The Shopkeeper	I guess a little spoiler is in order.
Dime	I also hear there's a clog down the sink
The Shopkeeper	Oh the Money Sink?
The Shopkeeper	There's no unclogging it.
The Shopkeeper	I mean...
The Shopkeeper	Unless you had a Money Wrench....
The Shopkeeper	But let's get back to the subject at hand.
The Shopkeeper	I look forward to seeing how you choose to prioritize the uprades to this place.
The Shopkeeper	Let me just hide the bulk of the talent tree aaaand......
Dime	Also, stories?
The Shopkeeper	Here.
Spiderbenb	If we cant get stories, then is it really a shop?
The Shopkeeper	@Dime, I don't deal with rethorical questions.
The Shopkeeper	You will get what you pay for.
The Shopkeeper	See you at the 10 thousand mark.

The Clockwork Concierge announced that he was seeking a couple of more moderators. Later, The Shopkeeper dropped by and mentioned a lore tidbit about Monk and Quillble. However, the messages were swiftly deleted by SaboTeam. The Shopkeeper went on to chat about various things with the community.

The Clockwork Concierge says hello to the community and comments on the number of members in the Discord.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Hello Messengers! I hope this day is treating you well. Did you know that since I was recruited this community has nearly doubled already? What a time to be a concierge.
Clockwork Concierge	While I love my duties here, tending to the Clockwork Castle is still very time-consuming. As such, I would be delighted to receive additional help from the most motivated among you.
Clockwork Concierge	More earnestly put, I am looking for two more Moderators.
Clockwork Concierge	If you are serious and interested in taking on a long term Moderator role, please send my assistant Phil a direct message with your timezone, mastered languages and weekly availabilities.
Clockwork Concierge	We will then consult and determine the two who are the best fit to make sure this place lives up to its potential.
Clockwork Concierge	Here are 100 Time Shards for your attention. Thank you for spreading the word!
Clockwork Concierge	Oh, and don't bother asking Kamesennin for interview tips, our contract is VERY STRICT. Right, Kamme?
Kammesennin	Y-yes! gulps

#ninja-village
Doom Man	Quarble helping in fighting would be interesting Too bad in boss fights he just gets scared
The Shopkeeper	[deleted message: Greed Demons fighting alongside their Messenger?]
The Shopkeeper	[deleted message: (paraphrasing) "I said no more spoilers about the Monk"]
Doom Man	I thought shopkeep was gonna make a silly joke so I wasn't ready
Doom Man	Also someone should count the amount of times a character "accidentally" spoils us
The Shopkeeper	How about counting the amount of times Doom Man enjoys the ride?
Gooberbarbarian	How are you doing Shoppy
VeggieDelphine	Hey Shopkeeper how are you ?
Kammesennin	It has happened 22 times.
Babushka	Hi Shoppy
VeggieDelphine	Are you annoyed by us always staring in the unopened shop ?
The Shopkeeper	I'm good. All done setting up shop in the tropics, and waiting on these 10 000 shards.
Kammesennin	@The Shopkeeper Do you have any stories to share?
VeggieDelphine	You could make a discount
VeggieDelphine	Why do you need exactly 10,000?
The Shopkeeper	Of course I do Kamme, does this look like Rivière Turquoise to you?
VeggieDelphine	Are you in trouble with money?
Kammesennin	No, I suppose it doesn't.
The Shopkeeper	Money?
Gooberbarbarian
Doom Man	cough shards
The Shopkeeper	Oh, I never keep any shards, I consume them to do my thing.
The Shopkeeper	In this case, opening up shop here.
VeggieDelphine	Oh I see
VeggieDelphine	Oh right you need it for the magic
VeggieDelphine	Hey Shopkeeper do you personally know pitou ?
VeggieDelphine
Gooberbarbarian
DreamHazard
The Shopkeeper	I do.
VeggieDelphine	Is he a good boy ?
Kammesennin	Can you please share a story with us before you go? It's been a while since we had one, and we really enjoy them.
The Shopkeeper	Pitou is the best boy.
The Shopkeeper	Stories will have to wait, @Kammesennin, one shouldn't open their presents before x-mas.
The Shopkeeper	I do have a few good one in stores though.
Kammesennin	Fair enough. There's a moral in your short sentence there and that will tide me over. Thank you.
The Shopkeeper	But sadly, the cabinet is lost.
Soleil
DreamHazard	Shopkeeper, may I respectfully ask your pronouns? As a trans woman I feel it's especially important to pay attention to these things
The Shopkeeper	An unacceptable time anomly, @Soleil. Please don't make too much of it.
VeggieDelphine	Good question !!
Soleil	Okay.
VeggieDelphine	I’d love to know your pronouns as well
The Shopkeeper	Ah, Messenger @DreamHazard, I suppose I should thank you for all the support!
The Shopkeeper	When it comes to my identity, I prefer to remain anonymous, you can refer to me in any way you please.
The Shopkeeper	I must go for now. Should the opportunity arise, please say hi to Rock Lesieur for me, his dedication is highly underrated.
The Shopkeeper	Godspeed!

April 19, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge delivered a message from The Archivist.

The Clockwork Concierge says hello to the community and mentions the shop's upcoming opening.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Good day Messengers! It seems The Shop will be opening soon.
Clockwork Concierge	I must say, for once we are thoroughly prepared.
Clockwork Concierge	As some of you have surmized, everything that happens here is directed in accordance to The Archivist's big picture plan.
Clockwork Concierge	During our discussion to determine who has been chosen to join the Moderators team at the Clockwork Castle, he also demanded that I share a message with all of you.
Clockwork Concierge	The Archivist says- 'Given our past struggles, I was pleased to witness everyone come together and choose to forgo the short-term gain of daily nominations in an effort to ensure all new Ninjas are worthy of the title.'
Clockwork Concierge	The Archivist says- 'This should not go unrewarded. On that, I defer to you, Concierge.'
Clockwork Concierge	The Archivist says- 'I am currently considering someone who shows potential to be the first Voidwalker. In the meantime, please send everyone my regards.'
Clockwork Concierge	My, is it good to hear from him! For this exemplary show of team spirit, I am hereby granting you 250 bonus Time Shards!
Clockwork Concierge	Have a great week-end, everyone.
Babushka	I think Soleil will be defo the one who gets the Voidwalker role but I have other people in mind that wouldn't surprise me!
Ashes	i was thinking between Soleil, Kamme, and Spider we'd have solid contenders for the Voidwalker role
MFC	Same
DavidOnze	same, these three guys deserve it
MFC	Or even ohshiet and bab
DavidOnze	or babushka too, but I don't know if her have time to spend on this
Babushka	Yeah I was thinking about Kamme and Spider too
Babushka	But me? Thank you for the nice words but I'm not sure if timezones would let me take part of the events
Babushka	That would be a big responsibility. I think I could pull it off at the end
Clockwork Concierge	On that, Babushka, one of the biggest sacrifices we should thank our Moderators for, is that they forfeit their chance to partake in special events reserved to ninjas.
Clockwork Concierge	Should we give thanks our Mods, then? ❤
[many "thank you"s were said to the moderator team by the community]
Spiderbenb	So, how goes the new mod nominations? Any update on that front?
Clockwork Concierge	We have come to an agreement and will make announcements next week.
Clockwork Concierge	Today is a big day for SabotTeam and we don't mean to steal the spotlight. Thierry will be in touch.
Thierry
Thierry	Let us work @Clockwork Concierge lol
Kammesennin	Thanks SaboTeam for making the game and the server so we could all be here to share this experience!
Spiderbenb	Speaking of The Concierge, we never really get a chance to ask this, But How are you doing lately Concierge?
Clockwork Concierge	Thank you for asking, Spiderbenb. From what I understand of the human experience, the way Philip keeps tinkering with me I now feel the clockwork equivalent of coming back from the dentist.
Clockwork Concierge	But I am well, dedication and purpose go a long way.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	trying™

The community was 75 Time Shards short of being able to afford the shop, but the Clockwork Concierge provided assistance.

The Clockwork Concierge contemplates the remaining number of Time Shards required for opening the shop.

#general
Kammesennin	There are way more important things at hand such as discussing the potential existence of legs for an additional 75
Clockwork Concierge	75 Time Shards, huh?
Clockwork Concierge	That would certainly give Phil a bit of stress!
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message] [note: most likely deleted due to a typo]
starryeyedninja	I SAW THAT
Stéphanie	I saw that!
Clockwork Concierge	It seems we are closing in on the shop's grand opening a little ahead of schedule.
VeggieDelphine	Saw what ???
Stéphanie	The same message
VeggieDelphine	Ok
Stéphanie	Don't worry
Clockwork Concierge	It's fine, my dear adventurers. I am not so used to correcting my own typos either.
Doom Man	so is the shop going to get delayed despite having 10000 shards is what the concierge is saying? if so can we know why?
Ashes	I don’t think the shop is being delayed? I’m not sure
Clockwork Concierge	Delaying the shop? Why exactly would we do such a thing?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Opening a shop is a lot more work than it looks. But we will be fine. If we don't start randomly awarding 75 shards that is.
Clockwork Concierge	...
Clockwork Concierge	I didn't mean to do it randomly, Phil. But I see no reason to award 75 Time Shards at the moment. I mean, it's not like the people here can name three characters from The Messenger who technically don't have legs.
VeggieDelphine	Abomination
Babushka	Concierge
Babushka	Manfred
Doom Man	we never see the blue robes' legs
Stéphanie	Emerald Golem
Clockwork Concierge	Abomination technically has legs, and lots of them.
GeoffChisnall	Ruxxtin's Staff
Stéphanie	Emerald Spirit Manfred Clockwork Concierge
Dime	The eyeball enemy known as Tsatson
Gooberbarbarian
VeggieDelphine	Wall Shmu
Gooberbarbarian	Clocko just had a propellor
GeoffChisnall	Butterfly Matriarch possibly too
Clockwork Concierge	My, does anyone even HAVE legs in this little world?
Babushka	Ninja has at least two
Doom Man	matriarch has legs I think
Gooberbarbarian	has 4
VeggieDelphine	Barma
Clockwork Concierge	Your answers are both overkill and acceptable. Here are 75 Time Shards for you. Phil, I will go make some coffee...

April 25, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge arrived on scene to celebrate the community finally gathering 10,000 total Time Shards to open up #the-shop. When he began speaking, he had difficulty turning on his microphone (dialogue boxes). He then threw the Time Shards into a converter.

After converting all 10,000 Time Shards, #the-shop text channel opened. Nobody could post in the channel, except for The Shopkeeper himself, and a single lucky member who was temporarily granted the Discord role, "The Messenger."

The Clockwork Concierge gets his microphone working.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	My, it has happened!
Clockwork Concierge	What is wrong Philip? It seems my microphone is not working properly!
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Let me look at the cables.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Does it work now?
Clockwork Concierge	Mike check!
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Wrong one.
Clockwork Concierge	Oh, the embarrassment...
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	What about now?
Clockwork Concierge	MIKE CHECK
Clockwork Concierge	Much better! Thank you, Philip.
Clockwork Concierge	I should congratulate you, Messengers! Today marks a very important event.
Clockwork Concierge	Now, if I can just grab the pile of Time Shards here...
Clockwork Concierge	And done. You now have 3 Time Shards left.
Clockwork Concierge	Now to hope everything goes smoothly, please stand by as I throw them in the converter.
Clockwork Concierge	5 Time Shards processed...
Clockwork Concierge	Philip, at this rate the shop will open after the release of the DLC. Can we speed things up?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	Let me try some buttons.
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	What about the yellow one?
Clockwork Concierge	The converter stopped...
Clockwork Concierge	What's that noise, Philip?
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	I wish I knew.
Clockwork Concierge	Oh no, it's.... IT'S.... PHILIP DO SOMETHING!!!
Phil (Rookie Clockwork Operator)	randomly presses anything
Clockwork Concierge	Phew, good thing my belly conceals a fire extinguisher!
Clockwork Concierge	2533 Time Shards processed...
Clockwork Concierge	Anyone has an anecdote they want to share while we wait? I love stories about going to the pool.
Damyon	Pools are nice, I like them during the Summer heat
Damyon	Especially when it gets around 30 degrees
Clockwork Concierge	You and me both, Damyon.
Clockwork Concierge	7883 Time Shards processed...
Clockwork Concierge	I can't wait for Soleil to read the log in order to determine the shards per second processing speed of my converter...
Stéphanie	Hey Concierge am I annoying?
Clockwork Concierge	You are not annoying Stéphanie. In fact I love your art.
Clockwork Concierge	PROCESSING
Clockwork Concierge	COMPLETE

The Shopkeeper	Alright, let's get this show on the road...
The Shopkeeper	My shop, my rules. I will be seeing Messengers one at a time, and allow them to perform three actions before moving on.
The Shopkeeper	Today, I have time for 2 Messengers.
The Shopkeeper	Even though I highly suspect you will, I strongly suggest that you do not waste any actions.
The Shopkeeper	I am now ready to welcome the first Messenger of this new venture. As The Prophet would say : WHOMST SHALL IT BE?
The Shopkeeper	...is he ever annoying...
The Shopkeeper	Anyway, send me a DM if you are interested and I will pick someone over the next 60 seconds, starting now!
The Shopkeeper	RIP my inbox. Please press F at your earliest convenience...
The Shopkeeper	A Messenger has been chosen!
The Shopkeeper	Welcome to the shop, Damyon, please make good use of your actions today. You have 3 left.
The Shopkeeper	What will your first action be? You can either choose to chat or unlock the talent tree.
Damyon	I'd like to unlock the talent tree
Damyon
The Shopkeeper	As you wish!
The Shopkeeper	Behold, THE TALENT TREE! http://themessengergame.com/shop
The Shopkeeper	I will let everyone browse for a few moments. Don't forget, it's better with music!
Damyon	Ooh! Interesting
The Shopkeeper	Careful Damyon, that would technically be an action, but I will let it slide.
The Shopkeeper	Now, you have 2 actions left. We can either chat, or you can ask for details about the upgrade of your choice.
The Shopkeeper	What will it be, Messenger?
Damyon	I'd like to ask about the orb upgrade
The Shopkeeper	As the description states, buying this upgrade will add the #scrying-orb channel to the Discord.
The Shopkeeper	(That was a quick head-up for those on mobile)
The Shopkeeper	Now for the specifics.
The Shopkeeper	Every now and then, strange manifestations will occur within the Orb, prompting an opportunity to spend a few Time Shards to make the vision concrete.
The Shopkeeper	It will provide advanced spoilers.
The Shopkeeper	And I do mean advanced.
The Shopkeeper	There is a downside to Scrying Magic however. If, for any reason, anything seen within the Orb is copied, shown, leaked, or shared anywhere (other channels here included), the Orb will shatter forever.
The Shopkeeper	As long as its secrets are kept safe, it will provide visions for a price.
The Shopkeeper	You have one action left. We can either chat, or you can ask about a specific upgrade.
The Shopkeeper	Oh, hold up.
The Shopkeeper	I can also show you something cool.
The Shopkeeper	So which will it be, Damyon?
Damyon	I'd like to see something cool
The Shopkeeper	Good call.
The Shopkeeper	Press F5 in the talent tree's page now!
The Shopkeeper	Thanks for stopping by, Damyon!
The Shopkeeper	Now, who's next? Time to survive a second trip to the inbox...
The Shopkeeper	Step forward, GaidenGravity!
GaidenGravity	Let's chat!
The Shopkeeper	That was fast!
The Shopkeeper	Alright, what do you want to chat about? We can either talk about the upgrade prices, gossip, or ask me anything though I may not provide a satisfying answer.
GaidenGravity	Gossip
The Shopkeeper	Gossip it is!
The Shopkeeper	So, you know how The Prophet is always big and in character, making everything epic, right?
The Shopkeeper	Let me tell you how it all started for him.
The Shopkeeper	He was playing D&D with his friends one night, and mid-game was visited by the Western Hero.
The Shopkeeper	He carried the scroll, crossed the island, and became a blue robe.
The Shopkeeper	And to this day he still thinks it's all part of an epic D&D night!
The Shopkeeper	Alright, GaidenGravity, you have 2 actions left.
The Shopkeeper	We can either chat, or you can ask about a specific upgrade.
GaidenGravity	What's your favorite story out of all the ones you've told?
The Shopkeeper	...
The Shopkeeper	The boy in the well
The Shopkeeper	Alright, GaidenGravity. Final action : we can either talk about the upgrade prices being too damn high or you can leave.
GaidenGravity	lets talk about the upgrade prices being too damn high
The Shopkeeper	Amazing! I'm used to pre-scripted interactions you see, and thought I could easily bait you into GETTING A FIRST FREE UPGRADE ON THE HOUSE AS IS SHOPKEEPER'S TRADITION.
The Shopkeeper	Now if we can all pretend that played out in a surprising and organic way, I will now give you 5000 TIME SHARDS
The Shopkeeper	Or you can leave...
The Shopkeeper	So GaidenGravity, what will it be? Do you want to leave or get 5000 Time Shards?
GaidenGravity	Get 5000 Time Shards!
The Shopkeeper	Played right into my hand! I'm so getting this raise...
The Shopkeeper	@Clockwork Concierge, if you'd be so kind...
The Shopkeeper	Great.
The Shopkeeper	It's your call, Messenger. Do you want to buy an upgrade today, and if so, which?
GaidenGravity	I will buy the Colos or Suses event!
The Shopkeeper	We have a deal!
The Shopkeeper	Thank you for visiting the shop today, I will be back when the timing feels right.
The Shopkeeper	GODSPEED, MESSENGERS

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Congratulations, everyone.
Clockwork Concierge	And remember, no matter what happens past this point, all of that happened, and that is something to be celebrated!
Clockwork Concierge	As if my plate wasn't full already, is seems I will be in charge of the Colos or Suses event. More on this tomorrow.
heather	but i work tomorrow :(
heather	can you put it off till monday @Clockwork Concierge ?
Clockwork Concierge	The event starts tomorrow and will last for a little while, Heather. Everyone will be able to participate at their convenience.

April 26, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge began the "Colos or Suses event," and the Concierge referenced a popular typo he made during the quiz from April 4, 2019. Community members PM'd the Clockwork Concierge if they wanted to join Team Colos or Team Suses along with a supporting argument for their team, and they would be assigned a corresponding "Team Colos" or "Team Suses" Discord role. The team they joined was displayed in the new event text channel, #colos-or-suses. Also later that day, the Clockwork Castle was threatened by the Demon General, which prompted the Clockwork Concierge to recruit a couple of moderators earlier than scheduled.

The Clockwork Concierge asks for more informaiton before relaying a message.

#general
Rick ム	Hey Hey, can I ask one question to Sobotage?
Clockwork Concierge	That depends, is it a good one? If so I will relay it.
Rick ム	You're a nice bot!
Clockwork Concierge	That's not a question.
Clockwork Concierge	Or should I say, there's no question about that?
Rick ム	How many copies of The Messenger you've sold across any platform?
Stéphanie	(Not enough)
Rick ム	noooo
Thierry	Yo Rick that's a tough one!
Thierry	The gist of it is we sold enough to be good for a few months and we decided to use that to work on free DLC to thank people who encouraged us
Thierry	As for the future the challenge in finding the means to bring our ideas to life is still present but we're hopeful
Rick ム	That's fine!

#general
Clockwork Concierge	My, it will soon be time for the Colos or Suses event kick-off! Stay tuned, Messengers.
Clockwork Concierge	That tickles, Philip!
Clockwork Concierge	Oh, apologies, Messengers...
Clockwork Concierge	It appears the necessary hardware for the Colos or Suses event is currently being installed!
Clockwork Concierge	How exciting! Our first event!!
Clockwork Concierge	Ok now it hurts, Philip.
Clockwork Concierge	Was it... are you done?
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	Yes.
Clockwork Concierge	Thank you, Philip!
Clockwork Concierge	Alas, Messengers, the time has come to answer the most difficult question of all time.
Clockwork Concierge	True or False Colos
Clockwork Concierge	...
Clockwork Concierge	Now, for the real thing, the one question that has been on everyone's mind forever!
Clockwork Concierge	Colos? Or Suses?
Clockwork Concierge	The community will decide! My new module is now online. Send me a DM with the !event command at your earliest convenience to CHOOSE YOUR CAMP! The event has started!
Babushka	how am I supposed to choose between 2 best boys
Clockwork Concierge	Babushka, we all know the best boy is Pitou. You are not obligated to vote, but I hope you will.
Clockwork Concierge	I am much pleased with the participation so far! I will be gathering votes for the next week. Be sure to tell everyone to participate.
Boog2TheMan	how do you vote for which team?
Solaris Knight	DM the concierge with !events
Clockwork Concierge	Without the 's', please.
Babushka	omg i'm, green!
Boo	Oh I like that color change
Babushka	I like green
PhΩmega	green is good
DavidOnze	orange ye boi
MFC	orange is gud
Boo	I'm glad to have picked orange boi
Babushka	C H U N K Y B O I S Q U A D
Clockwork Concierge	Indeed, I thought showing your colors would be a good addition to this little event. But fear not, as it is temporary.
Clockwork Concierge	ATTENTION ALL MESSENGERS
Clockwork Concierge	THE SEALS OF THE CLOCKWORK CASTLE HAVE WEAKENED
Clockwork Concierge	ALERT! ALERT! THE DEMON GENERAL FOUND THE DEMON KING'S PRISON
Clockwork Concierge	ADDITIONAL SUPPORT REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY
Clockwork Concierge	My, what a terrible turn of events!!!
Clockwork Concierge	I was not entirely done reviewing candidates. But time is of the essence it seems!
Clockwork Concierge	Messenger Boo.
Boo	Yes?
Boo	Hi!
Clockwork Concierge	For you positive attitude and constant contributions to this community, I would welcome you as a Moderator. Do you accept?
Boo	Why, of course!
Boo	Also you typo'ed that but I love you regardless
Clockwork Concierge	Beautiful! Please join me in the Clockwork Castle now for briefing.
Boo	Right away, sir!
Clockwork Concierge	Quickly.... I.... need one more...the seals...
Clockwork Concierge	Messenger Aevoa.
Aevoa
Clockwork Concierge	Ah yes, ever the silent one. I have considered your application, and while you are not the most vocal here, I believe you have what it takes to act decisively when the situation requires it.
Clockwork Concierge	I would have you as another new Moderator. Do you accept?
Aevoa	I accept!
Clockwork Concierge	Beautiful! Step forward Aevoa, and join me in the Clockwork Castle for your briefing!
Clockwork Concierge	THREAT CONTAINED. ALL SYSTEMS STABLE.
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: My, what day! Let us celebrate our new Mods, everyone, and enjoy our first event!]
Clockwork Concierge	My, what a day! Let us celebrate our new Mods, everyone, and enjoy our first event!
Lich	I still don't get the point of event
Lich	I voted Suses and...
Clockwork Concierge	The point of the event, Messenger Lich, is to arrive to a decisive conclusion when it comes to the cyclops.
Lich	so... we have to choose main cyclope?
Lich	ok
Clockwork Concierge	I will be gathering the communities reasons to vote for one or the other for the next week, and we will then be in Phase 2 of the event where these reasons will be pitted against each other until one of the two brothers is the definitive winner.
Lich	how many people made meme reasons?
MFC	Oh no
PhΩmega
Soleil
MFC	My reason is just a joke
MFC	we lost guys
GaidenGravity	mine's a meme but also
Boo	Mine is epic and perfect
Boo	(and also kinda meme)
Stéphanie	Mine is logic
Kammesennin	Mine is memey but accurate still
Babushka	My reason was:
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: As many as the amount who cared to meme. We shall have see in due time, but I hope the answer is that all of you did. I love me a good meme Colos]
Clockwork Concierge	As many as the amount who cared to meme. We shall see in due time, but I hope the answer is that all of you did. I love me a good meme Colos
Clockwork Concierge	So many typos, it appears I am still shaking from all the stress and excitement. I will now go rest for a while.

April 30, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge dropped by to talk about the "Colos or Suses event."

The Clockwork Concierge is pleased with the community's participation.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Good day Messengers! I should let you know that I am quite excited to see how many of you decided to participate in the Colos or Suses event.
Clockwork Concierge	This is a friendly reminder that voting closes this Friday. Golly, I am already excited for Phase 2! Tell newcomers, and tell your friends! The more the merrier!
Babushka	Does Clocko know I love and appreciate him
Clockwork Concierge	You know I do, Babushka.
Shuu	Curious how things kind of work, I see there is some sort of meta game, but how can I participate?
Gooberbarbarian	Well,
Gooberbarbarian	Firstly there is the #ninja-village that can be talked in by ninjas, who are elected by the surrent ninjas for being active, participating in the community, making fanart, speed running, etc.
Gooberbarbarian	Secondly, there are several characters from in the game (some being minor spoilers) that talk within the Discord, establish events, etc.
Gooberbarbarian	Currently we are in a #colos-or-suses event where people choose if they prefer one over the other. This was given to us after we collected time shards as a community, which can still be collected, and then we spent them on this event in #the-shop
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	@Shuu - You can also track the community progress from http://themessengergame.com/shop
Shuu	What is the orange resource?
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	They're called Timeshards, it's The Messenger in-game currency.
Shuu	Thank you. :)
Shuu	I'm going to purchase the game to check things out.
Shuu	Another question - what do the sub names of people mean, like "The Guardian, The Scavenger, etc"
Shuu	And why do some people have a Panda emoji in their nickname?
Babushka	oh... panda is a meme here
Clockwork Concierge	This place can get pretty meme-intensive.

May 3, 2019

Phase 1 of the "Colos or Suses event" ended. The Clockwork Concierge generously bestowed a large number of Time Shards to the community and spoke of a mysterious shop upgrade called "the letter H."

The Clockwork Concierge gets the attention of Messengers.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Attention all Messengers!
Clockwork Concierge	Phase 1 of the Colos or Suses event is almost over. If you haven't voted yet, note that there are only 2 hours remaining. Tell your fellow adventurers, voting is closing soon!
Clockwork Concierge	I will then parse all your reasons through my integrated NSFW filter, and if there are any left, we will begin Phase 2 on Monday!
Clockwork Concierge	For what it's worth, I consider Suses' loin cloth attack to be SFW. And quite hilarious, too.
[2 hours later]
Clockwork Concierge	Phase 1 of the Colos or Suses event is now officially over! See you all on Monday
Ashes	How far from that goal are we?
A Wild Mike	i;m on it
A Wild Mike
A Wild Mike	1791
Ashes	oh i meant how many members do we have jdnfnfkd but thank you!
A Wild Mike	Oh lmao
Kammesennin	993
Clockwork Concierge	My, Kamme, are we that close to a thousand already?
Kammesennin	Indeed we are
Kammesennin	We've made such incredible progress, wouldn't you agree?
Clockwork Concierge	It would be quite exciting to reach it soon, especially since I am only allowed to give bonus Time Shards on Fridays!
Kammesennin	Yeah, I sure hope we manage to hit the number soon here
Clockwork Concierge	A thousand members, a thousand shards! You have 2 hours.
[2 hours later]
Clockwork Concierge	I'm impressed.
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	This looks like the moment when the Concierge gets in Friday mode and adds multiple milestones in my next week planning.
Clockwork Concierge	Mike check
Soleil	@A Wild Mike
Clockwork Concierge	Mic check?
Soleil	Oh
Soleil	Carry on then.
Clockwork Concierge	Splendid! It appears we have reached a thousand members.
Clockwork Concierge	Apologies, I just woke up from maintenance. Philip is it Friday still?
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	Looks like it, yes.
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)
Clockwork Concierge	Unprecedented!
Clockwork Concierge	Very well then. I shall award you a thousand Time Shards to celebrate!
Clockwork Concierge	Oh, and two more things!
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	oh not again.
Clockwork Concierge	First, I will ask The Shopkeeper to add the letter H to the shop. I believe it will come in handy later.
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)
Clockwork Concierge	And lastly, if you could direct your attention to the fanart channel, you will notice the high quality content we saw this week.
Clockwork Concierge	We don't know yet who between the two brothers' job it will be in the end to award shards for outstanding community contributions, but in the meantime...
Clockwork Concierge	I am awarding you a bonus 500 Time Shards!
Clockwork Concierge	Thank you everyone, have a great week-end!
Thierry	Yo Concierge stop messing with our balancing
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	yeah
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	this is getting heavy.
Thierry	...
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	I'm still completely confused by the Jukebox arcane wiring and you keep adding timeshards.
Clockwork Concierge	Apologies to Saboteam, but to quote RDE, the fanart is 'sick and tight'.
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)	yeah sure RDE.

May 6, 2019

The Clockwork Concierge examined the supporting arguments for Team Colos and Team Suses that would be used for Phase 2 of the "Colos or Suses event." He was also unable to perform an ASCII shrug using a dialogue box, so he wrote one with plain text.

While Boo talked about his guitar stream of The Messenger, it segued into Clockwork Concierge referencing "the kids" who built him, but the message was deleted by SaboTeam. The Clockwork Concierge became sad and was comforted by the community.

The Clockwork Concierge parses the arguments for Phase 2.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Parses pro-Colos arguments. 'Well this is much softer than I expected.'
Clockwork Concierge	Opens pro-Suses folder... o_o
Stéphanie	Oh hi Concierge!
Clockwork Concierge	Good day, Stéphanie!
Clockwork Concierge	Counting is done. The community has submitted 30 pro-Colos and 36 pro-Suses arguments!
Clockwork Concierge	Now, this doesn't mean we have a winner just yet! I will now remove 6 pro-Suses arguments, and we will be ready for Phase2!
Clockwork Concierge	Colos, or Suses? YOU will decide by voting as we pit arguments against each other one by one over the course of this week! Be sure to tune in tomorrow.
Babushka	I wonder if Clocko will also include the authors of each argument
Clockwork Concierge	\_□_/
Clockwork Concierge	My, that ASCII shrug came out poorly.
Clockwork Concierge	I might, Babushka.
Spiderbenb	I got you Concierge, Here's a shrug.
Spiderbenb	¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Clockwork Concierge	It works without the mic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A Wild Mike	Holy
A Wild Mike	Did Clockwork just talk without a picture?
Babushka	Yeah he didn't use the microphone
MFC	How this is possible
Stéphanie	Oh, so the civil war will happen
Spiderbenb	Make Love, Not War.
Babushka	Make tea, not war
Boo	Make guitar runs, not war
Stéphanie	Make blindfolded guitar runs
Boo	Blindfold guitar seems overkill... I'll keep doing candleless guitar if that's fine for you
Spiderbenb	Play the game on Rockband Drums.
Boo	I have those! ...but wireless, so unusable
Spiderbenb	Play on Potatoes.
Boo	lol
Babushka
Babushka	Let's do something like twitch plays pokemon but with the messenger
Babushka	That would be a disaster
Clockwork Concierge	I simply turn it off...
Clockwork Concierge	And then back on again.
Babushka	Oh hello!
Boo	Concierge plays The Messenger
Clockwork Concierge	Don't we all, Boo.
Spiderbenb	When's the first Concierge Twitch Stream?
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message] [note: most likely deleted due to a typo]
Clockwork Concierge	A stream, huh? I mean if someone beat the game with a guitar, I don't see why I couldn't do it with my shotgun hands...
Boo	I'm flattered, to say the least
Stéphanie	Were you always designed as a weapon ?
Stéphanie	Canons everywhere
Clockwork Concierge	My past is... not very happy.
Stéphanie	Oh, sorry to bring that up
Babushka	I'm sorry to hear that Clocko
Babushka	Here is a Pitou 4u
Clockwork Concierge	[deleted message: And the kids who built me, they...]
Thierry	Ok stop right there
Stéphanie	>.>
Stéphanie	Oh no, it's the police
Thierry	Hi
Thierry	I'm just following The Archivist's orders I promise
Clockwork Concierge	Apologies, I simply miss them very much. To think of such a sacrifice...
Thierry	I get it @Clockwork Concierge, don't sweat it.
Clockwork Concierge	It's just, I wish you told their story...
Thierry	...
Thierry	You know that's not up to me
Clockwork Concierge	Well, I am sad now. Please send wholesome memes.
[lots of love was sent Clockwork Concierge's way from the community]
Clockwork Concierge	❤ ❤ ❤
Clockwork Concierge	I feel so much better! You have my thanks, Messengers.
VeggieDelphine	I hope my argument wasn’t removed in the 6 extra
Clockwork Concierge	I simply merged some redundant arguments.

May 7, 2019

Clockwork Concierge revealed more information about himself, and Phase 2 of the "Colos or Suses event" began. Later, the Clockwork Concierge was sorted to be underneath the "Characters" role instead of the "Moderator" role in the member list. And shortly afterwards, the "Characters" role was renamed to "Character" in order to be consistent with the other Discord roles.

The Clockwork Concierge comments on the pro-Suses arguments.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	My, is Suses nothing but legs to you all?
Clockwork Concierge	For the debate to remain interesting, I am boiling down arguments to avoid repetition. But rest assured, all who contributed a reason will be on the Commemorative Plaque.
Beardbro	\o/
Clockwork Concierge	\o/
Stéphanie	Hey Concierge, can I ask you a quick question?
Clockwork Concierge	Of course, Stéphanie. What can I do for you?
Stéphanie	I was wondering where you spend most of your time now
Clockwork Concierge	Oh? Was that not clear?
Clockwork Concierge	After everything, I was reconfigured to serve the good. I have two main tasks. Guarding the remnants, and catering to the skylands, which helped delay the flood for a long time.
Clockwork Concierge	When it comes to my duties here, I answer to The Archivist. To make everything more convenient, it was decided that I would have access to this place while remaining in the Clockwork Castle.
Stéphanie	So you knew the flood was about to happen
Stéphanie	But how can you guard the remnants while taking care of the skylands?
Clockwork Concierge	I do not require sleep.
Clockwork Concierge	Phase 2 will begin soon! I can barely contain myself.
Clockwork Concierge	Let me turn this mic off and share how thing will go down.
Clockwork Concierge	NO-MIC CHECK
Clockwork Concierge	...
Clockwork Concierge	Can you hear me now?
A Wild Mike	Yep
Clockwork Concierge	Beautiful!
Clockwork Concierge	Here's how to participate in Phase 2 of the great Colos or Suses debate:
Clockwork Concierge	Keep an eye out for activity in the #color-or-suses channel, where each arguments will be presented to let Messengers vote using or reacts.
A Wild Mike	#colos-or-suses
Clockwork Concierge	RULES :

Clockwork Concierge	I should apparently do this in the proper channel. Let's move to #colos-or-suses!

Thierry	Just DM me the rules and I'll share them lol
Thierry	Got em, head over to #colos-or-suses

Clockwork Concierge	I meant it is technically not my place to give high-fives, Beardbro.
Clockwork Concierge	But to your point Del, while they are certainly colossal in size, they are also one-eyed, no?
A Wild Mike	I guess
heather	you are also one-eyed, concierge
Clockwork Concierge	Excuse me that is a monocle!

The Clockwork Concierge mentions that the "Colos and Suses event" is over.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	My, is the event over already?
Clockwork Concierge	This will not do at all, SaboTeam is at an awards ceremony tonight.
Clockwork Concierge	Which by the way let's all cross our fingers...
Clockwork Concierge	We will adress the event's winner tomorrow.
Beardbro	can't we already deduce the winner ? or is there something else we don't know Clocko ?
Clockwork Concierge	Oh Suses won, don't get me wrong.
Clockwork Concierge	What it means will be adressed tomorrow.

Suses joined the official Discord server with both the "Character" and the "Team Colos" Discord roles. Like the Clockwork Concierge, Suses speaks (mostly) via dialogue boxes rather than just plain text.

Suses greets the community.

#general
Clockwork Concierge	Mic check
Babushka	Hello!
Clockwork Concierge	Splendid! Everything works just fine!
Clockwork Concierge	The cyclops have been notified of the debate's outcome. Suses will be joining us shortly.
Kammesennin	You mean cyclopes?
Clockwork Concierge	I do.
Clockwork Concierge	Are you all ready to greet the winner, then?
Clockwork Concierge	Step forward, Suses!
Suses	Yooooooooo!
Suses	What's up everyone? Pretty cool to be here, though I gotta say my bro Colos is the best!
Kammesennin	What makes him the best, Suses?
Suses	For one, he shaved his head in solidarity when I started losing my hair.
Kammesennin	Wow, he is an amazing brother for doing that.
Babushka	WOW
Babushka	Colos is an amazing bro
Suses	I'm over that complex now! But yeah he's pretty rad. You should see him now, it all grew back.
Kammesennin	Do you have any pictures of his new hair?
Suses	I do! But I gotta get back to finishing those yoga routines. Let's meet here again in two hours, if you can help us sort out a very important food related question I'll take a pic of him.
Suses	Basically we think we can get into the Cereal Business, but we dunno which brand to do first.
Suses	Colos thinks we should call them Suses Snaps.
Suses	If you ask me, a bowl of Colos Crunch sounds way cooler!
Suses	Anyways, see y'all in two hours! For now, let's bump that fist.
Suses
Babushka

#fanart
Suses	Woaaaah this is the best channel!
Suses	-Come look, Colos!

#general
Suses	-I'll grab the Kodak, Colos, but they gotta help with the cereal question first. In one hour I guess...

Suses	No way OHSHIET! I just haven't had time to read the whole wiki yet, but I'm IM-PRESSED.

Colos and Suses made a Commemorative Plaque for the community, to celebrate everyone who participated in the "Colos or Suses event."

Suses talks to Colos about the Commemorative Plaque.

#general
Suses	-Still working on the Commemorative Plaque, Colos.
Suses	-Almost done with the Plaque, Colos!
Suses	-We'll just ask Miko, Colos.
Suses	-lol
Suses	Yo little guys and little gals, Colos and I made you all a Commemorative Plaque!
Suses	-Oh, yeah ok, Colos.
Suses	Colos isn't sad, by the way! He's says losing to me is the only way he'll have it.
Lich	One question: what is Commemorative Plaque?
Suses	Oh, it's a plaque to commemorate an event. Y'all participated, didn't you?
Suses	Anyway, if you did, you're on the plaque!
Suses	It's all done, just waiting for Miko to visit us in the Crags so we can pass it to him.
SaboMiko	Sup Suses!
Phil (The Clockwork Operator)
Suses	Yoooo what's up little guy?
Suses	-Yeah, it's pretty sick, Colos.
Suses	It's good to see you, little guy! Here, take the plaque!
SaboMiko	Thanks Suses!
Suses	Can you take it back to the community for us?
SaboMiko	For sure!
Suses	Awesome! Thanks for you help, little guy. Here, bump that fist!
	: 8
Suses
SaboMiko
SaboMiko	Alright do you guys wanna see it? It's pretty heavy!
Suses	-I hope so too, Colos.
Suses	Yo be gentle, we made it ourselves!
Suses	Go for it, Miko.
SaboMiko
[many happy responses from the community]
Suses	-Don't be concerned, Colos. I think they dig it.
Suses	-lol
Suses	Yo y'all are making Colos blush!
Doom Man	Something that just hit me I think when saboteam wanted colos or suses as discord members they wanted their portraits to not look threatening like the originals But making the eye change shape to convey a different emotion would have probably looked awkward So they added the headband and messed with the concept from there
Suses	Yo Doom Man, that's just our yoga outfits!
Suses	We kinda peaked after drinking Power Thistle stew. Working on flexibility now!
Suses	We still power lift on a regular basis, though.
Suses	-lol
Suses	-Why would we write a cookbook, Colos?
Suses	-But you keep saying, 'Cereal, Suses'.
Suses	-Of course, Colos.
Suses	Yo I gotta head out, but I hope you like the Commemorative Plaque! Keep up the good vibes, I'll be around.

Darawindor	gah my hand...
