[text] attention everyone shut the hell up

[nemophila]

I assume you have all educated yourselves on what Philemon's intentions and goals are for this city in his latest charade, or you would not be wasting your time humoring that ludicrous and insipid excuse for literature.

Now, what about Nyarlathotep? Have any of you figured out anything about his plans for this city, or are you more concerned with petty child's play?

Unfortunately, mob mentality is a dangerous and almost impenetrable problem.
People lash out in anger against what they don't understand.
It's disappointing, but not surprising. The only way to combat it is to fight against their own ignorance.

Black-and-white was regrettably never an option to view this conflict in its entirety. It rarely is.

Yeah, I know.
Just irritating that this sort of thing is still going on. Though at least I'm not the type to just give up- if they're going to be ignorant, then I'm just gonna prove them wrong.
Go straight, in other words.

So much for that, but I suppose that things are never that simple anyway. Besides, takes all the fun out of figuring it out.

A straight-on attempt to combat straight-on ignorant?
Well it's certainly one solution.
And one with a reasonable amount of success if the short attention span of most of the city is any indication.

It's a good conflict if you're a mystery lover, though I never claimed to be that much myself.
At the least I can say it's interesting for a time.

Seems to work best from my experience. Never been one to dance around a subject anyway.

I guess that it can be interesting for a while, but even then it kinda just grates on your nerves after a while, especially with no major leads.

There's dancing around, and then there's being subtle. Though I don't think that would work here regardless.

Precisely.
So I suppose we start by trying to find any lead.

Works for me. Never thought I'd be doing detective work, though.

Think of it like a book or a game! You're always trying to figure out who the bad guy is.
