Day Eight:
I had all but given up the chase. I have hunted many texts, but I know enough to know when a man won’t be found. I’d heard the hints, the second-hand titbits that said, “Torte is fine, don’t worry about him,” and I thought to myself, if he’d rather not be found, then perhaps that’s what I should let happen.
Perhaps if you really love something you to ought let it go.
As with so many of the things we pursue in life, it was only when I stopped looking that I found Torte… or perhaps Torte found me. I sat down today to play some Bad Company 2 and, having put myself through the ordeal of doing a fresh OS install. I sat down to my machine and opened Steam.
New desktop, new browser, new IM client; the familiar turned alien. Sitting there, looking at that strange foreignness, a message popped up.
Torte de Lini: Great game!
We spoke then, for the best part of an hour. He was well, he seems shocked that people noticed his having gone. I mentioned that there was a thread, but he seemed to think it an exaggeration.
He will be back soon, he says.

This may be elaborate hype for his 10k post?
I'd really like to know the answer to Manifesto's question ;p
I'm surprised he didn't post in this thread considering what happened to him.

The man must be suffering from withdrawals... (currently at 2002 [read: 9998] posts)

I live in downtown Montreal, 8 minutes walking distance from the metro and about 12 to the Rail that you need to your next stop. 15 minutes to get to the main street of Montreal. I will provide you water, food, shower and the internet/an extra laptop if you need to log your travels. I can also pick you up from the airport via taxi and/or public bus (will pay for your ticket). I live alone or my brother is mooching off me, so there are little disturbances. There are issues that I will discuss with you privately: - Siblings may be mooching off my place, so you either have to stay on my room's floor if the couch is taken.
- I have school which means you need to be out of the place as well [until I come back] D:
I also need a TL member to validate who you are/good intentions. Bring your swimsuit if you want to use the pool/jacuzzi/sauna/gym. Fucking Chill one-upping me D: Editing further information~
The funny thing is, after he finally get's the 10k out of the way he'll be so post-frenzied that it'll be a month before he disappears again for 20k.

His disappearance coincides with the recent absence of girl blogs (besides the ILK one which is a dying effort since ILK - or should I say PBF - is once again gone). I think people should bring out their girl blogs and he'll pop back in!
That post is dying, no matter how hard we try. is it possible that all girl problems on TL are solved?

Or perhaps everyone is now busy with the start of school, so the girl problems that were solved at summer's end have yet to manifest themselves so early in the school year. Or at least in theory.

Or perhaps he joined TL back in 2002. I have my ideas of his old id. Probably accurate too, lol.

3 things:
1. Celebratory project will be in honor of Manifesto7, he's the king!
2. Anniversary post(s)/project will be on my one-year anniversary (the 3rd, that's when I come back as well)
3. 10,000 posts...

P.S. what's your other account.

Original Message From Manifesto7: If I had to bet, I would say there is no way this is your first account on TL. Show nested quote +Original Message From Torte de Lini: My previous account? On Team Liquid? What makes you ask that? That's particularly odd. Original Message From Manifesto7:

Ooh, the suspense!
