(amy! here): I object! I couldn't have been scandalized, I don't scandalize easily! (sauergeek can tell you that). However, it took me far too long through this post to remember how I had fallen!

I wish I had been able to help out with the SF re-run, but they contacted me too late to plan for it. :(. Hope you decide to do the one in the spring. I am totally in!!

I'm pretty sure I know what those pictures were, and scandalized is absolutely the appropriate reaction.

I like how you call backsolving "reverse engineering." It basically is!

It's funny, some kinds of backsolving, I call "backsolving" but in the case of that cryptic, it really felt more like reverse engineering. I suspect it's a case of what form the backsolving took (what I had to do).

It sounded awesome and you KNOW it! Are you interested in following Mystery Hunt from home this year?

Very, very, very cool. And a bit cooler still. Thanks for sharing!

I want you to know that your enthusiasm to read all about it is part of what prompted me to get that posted so soon after the blackout lifted.

Also, Mystery Hunt....?

Very unlikely; I'm returning from office hours to shifts in 2012 and am pretty sure that I'll be on shift that weekend. 2013, though!

The whole "insult duelling" routine reminds me of the original Secret of Monkey Island from, umm, must be close to 20 years ago. Am I remembering / understanding correctly or is my mind jumping inaccurately?

Yes I think you're right about the Monkey Island thing, there was something similar done at this year's Mystery Hunt and I remember having that conversation then.

If you turn out not to be on shift, just let me know.
