What does "skite" mean, exactly?
According to Google, different things to different people. It can mean boasting (in Australia, at least), can mean to skim or slide across a surface, it can mean to binge drink, it can mean a contemptible person, and it used to mean a sudden glancing blow. So yeah, Mr. Eaten is an Aussie who believes that Twitter is full of boasters. Seems legit.
I rather like the idea of Mr Eaten breaking out in broad Scots. (See esp. 4. (2) To skite the hunger aff)
Which might make sense him residing up North??
But then again I suppose you could equally argue he lives Down-Under?

I wasn't around the first time Mr. Eaten revealed himself, but this time I'd like to Seek, too. What's the best way to get in contact with other Seekers? Should I use the IRC channel?

Every seventh letter starts with ktg, so probably not. But he has sent out five tweets so far (since he came back). Maybe the secret is in tweet 7.

This one seems pretty straight forward.
Theory: Alexis isn't leaving to pursue other career options. He's about to complete the last seeking step in real life. THE RECONNING IS UPON US!
Or Seeking is just set to come back soon. That's another possibility.

it would surely be fantastic to have Alexis doing it.
I was actually thinking maybe SMEN making its return outside of FL, but still in StoryNexus. one of the reasons it went on hiatus was related to it screwing up too much the characters, no? this way the FL characters would remain safe.

As I understand it, the hiatus was primarily caused because it was taking up too much of Alexis's time for a personal, officially-unsupported project only relevant to a tiny amount of the playerbase. The last straw was some particularly unpleasant bugs wiping out significant progress for a couple players, progress which was partially from paying Fate for action refreshes, so they asked for refunds.

1. The boatman just asked me (and I imagine several other people planning on seeking). Not to die anytime soon. Oops. 2. Is spacemarine9 involved in this? Those are some very fitting sentences. 3. Imma accuse julius stokes too. Very nice timing. 4. I should really stop posting on this thread. Too much of me here already.
