TimCosing also said to look for him in the rulebook.

Two new tweets, just a few minutes ago:

 

Replace Me.

Flavor Text.

45

 

FYI, I was playing the iPad version, latest Digital Sentinels version 1.6.2 when I got the Intervene screen after 3 Mega Computers in Megalopolis.

46

Any flavor text that says "its coming"?

47

Seems like the flavor text comment would mean we are looking for

" the worst part between what you see and what actually is, the only truth now. You shall not feel my bones The protection of the most awful future Indeed...You are not real."

as flavor text.

48

I wonder if this has something to do with the Time-Crazed Prisoner. 

 

Flavor text from Time-Crazed Prisoner:

"No way out ... The lines point to it! It's all the same! It all counts! None of it counts! It will be here soon!" The mad ramblings echoed through the halls."

 

The text from http://sentinelsofthemultiverse.greaterthangames.com/itscoming:

 

"the worst part between what you see and what actually is, the only truth now. You shall not feel my bones The protection of the most awful future Indeed...You are not real."

49

This makes me think of the Time-Crazed prisoner from The Block:

"No way out... The lines point to it! It's all the same! It ALL counts! NONE of it counts! It will be here soon!"

(emphasis mine, but that's how i would read it, if I was the character)

So, my current alpha bet is the time crazed prisoner somehow got out and is trying to contact us to warn us of the impending doom.  The crazed scrawlings fit, but they seem more prophetic, as if the prisoner got caught up in a ritual that turned him into an unwilling herald of the convergence of the multiverse.

I have to stop this for tonight. Someone please solve this by morning so I'll be able to concentrate on work tomorrow.

51

What if one of the potential flavor texts is from one of the La Capitan's deck? After all, the comment from MigrantP that the "124185" points to mentions Spain. Or is that a Red Herring?

52

I think it's more to do with the time zone issue than the location, as i didn't find anything in the capitan flavor text, but I didn't look at the art…

53

I was heading down a road of La Capitan as well.  Somehow that just feels right

Chrological Hotspot flavor text "Augh! This pain I can feel my bones tearing me apart!"

54

Tim Cosing -> Its Coming

55

I have wondered whether the pictures of the heroes and villains on the back of the "Villains" book have any relevence. Dark Visionary also keeps tripping something over the darkest timeline concept. We are missing something...

 

56

The villains shown are nemesi of the heroes just below them.

57

Long day and grasping at straws. Never knowing what is a clue and what is a false lead.
