And it all started falling apart from there

I remember rejoicing in my heart when people actually wanted to talk to me on this site. It gave me a feeling that I never felt before, and I guess I just kept going because I wanted to feel it again

Also to give context on some of my annoying actions back then:
- Everytime I would pop into a conversation between you and Sciborg, that was because I wanted to talk to someone online since I don't really have many friends irl.
- Past me also didn't really understand the problems that an lgbtq+ person was facing, so that also explains my insulting behaviour.
- And last, I just wanted to be in a community. That's all, really. If you can't feel accepted by anyone else irl, why not feel accepted online?

Once again, I'm sorry

I've grown up now (while admittedly still not understanding Cryptic Clues as much :( ), so can we keep the past in the past? It also kinda makes me uncomfortable now knowing what I did wrong back then, so it's better to just move on from that

@bobble I'm sorry too, back then I didn't understand what you meant by insensitive since I was still quite young

"He's played in" https://www.yourdictionary.com/play-in
"Ball game on a computer"
Yeah... The first one seems off the more I think about it

MYSTERIOUS is exactly 10 letters, but I can't find any wordplay, so it's probably not that

Anonymus 25

Aug 4, 2023 08:06

Yeah, it is W and V, actually very funny when I realized that the clue (which originally was only for W) could also clue V 😅

As in, 2 solutions, both of them are only 1 letter

@Jafe Now that I'm back for now (but probably not for long), I want to say the answer is DOCTOR WHO but I can't find the exact wordplay, the definition is definitely "Long-running show", and probably an anagram of HOW

Just putting it out there, just a thought

Anonymus 25

Notice, the hint said the "controversy" is a recent one, not "element of controversy". Element seems to suggest something from the periodic table. Now just a matter of figuring out which one...

Also, just out of curiosity, what is the most russian last name you can think of for a man named Albert?

Anonymus 25

Aug 14, 2023 05:06

I'm not going with any Shadow related titles, since The Shadow is an actual character within this universe and it's influence is mostly dominant for the first 3 episodes only, and just a bit of influence in the 4th

Anonymus 25

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:23

Also I call him the main villain because of his influence to the plot of the story, but he's dead for 90% of the story

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:23

He died many, many years ago

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:19

I mean, the 6th episode IS directly connected to the events of the 5th, but that connection isn't related to the main villain directly

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:16

Basically the 8th episode is to introduce the idea that there are other villains, other bad guys that aren't all on the side of main villain of the series

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:15

@VLAZ Hard to tell, I mean there are characters that stay alive for the whole series, but they feel too much on the side to be considered main ones for the title

Anonymus 25

Aug 10, 2023 06:15

@AndyD273 I feel like I made a mistake with the story after you said this, because yes there's a main villain that rules over it all from episode 1-5, but then some things happen in the 6th and 7th that eventually lead up to the reveal of a brand new villain in the 8th that's dissconnected from the main villain at all

@AndyD273 The virus isn't the main plot point of the story, it's just required to help a backstory for a certain character

Why am I using this as my venting place lol

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:34

(There's a lot of death)

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:33

And naming it based on a trio of side villains feels weird too, especially after 2 of them die in the 5th

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:32

Or a character that first appears in the fourth? She's still alive, but technically because she becomes a side character starting from the 7th, that won't do

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:31

I could name it after another character, but he died in the sixth one

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:15

I can't find a better title though since the story is, well, about a lot of stuff, as written above

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:14

Just gonna drop this here, but I also have this recurring problem of naming the series after a certain character, but that character died during the third episode, and I'm currently working on number 10

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 05:06

You know, no biggie

Anonymus 25

Technically, the space pod thing is just a small fraction of the entire lore of the story, considering it's about illuminati level conspiracies, elemental powers, a giant battle millions of years ago, interstellar travels, ancient legends, cthulhu level threats, possesion, mischief, pollitical corruption, and a villain fueled with jealousy and a need for revenge strong enough to push him to want universal destruction

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 04:26

@AndyD273 No, I don't think those people have stuff related to turning energy into force fields, it's not supposed to be THAT sci-fi just yet

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 04:24

But that didn't end well for the destination planet

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 04:24

@AndyD273 Technically the whole point of sending it to space is to GET RID of the virus

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 04:23

I mean, it had to survive in order to progress the story forward

Anonymus 25

Aug 8, 2023 04:23

@AndyD273 Yes, when I remembered the wormhole part, I instantly knew that it could make the trip quickly, but I was still unsure if the pod would survive

Anonymus 25

Aug 5, 2023 08:13

Anonymus 25

Aug 5, 2023 08:10

Oh, I forgot to mention, it went through a wormhole and back in time, can it theoretically survive going through a wormhole?

Anonymus 25

Aug 5, 2023 07:55

Is it possible for a computer (the CPU, that is) to survive space? As in, if you were to place a CPU inside a little rocket pod and blast it off to space, can the programming inside (like say, a super intelligent super-virus) survive until it lands on another planet in about more than 10.000 light years?

Hello, I'm a user from Puzzling SE, but I'm here because I just so happen to have an entire universe planned out for a 10 episode story and I need a little help with something.
