@Poopsie: Why do you think there's a sidebar? There's an extremely blatant connection between Zero and his true identity, one that I would have expected @Tortwag to make by now, but it would seem I was mistaken.

Haha, you're right; it is fairly obvious. XD I think I figured out who Zero is, @Robusto.

@TheSilverFox: Impossible. The obviousness is so obvious, it loops back on itself to impossibility. The chances of you finding out it's zero is (according to my T-84 calculator) exactly... 48.57983121% ? Hmm... maybe it's not as impossible as I thought.

Unfortunately, 26.795% is about 25%, or 1/4th. Thus, four reasonably constructed guesses would be all I need in order to find one that is correct. Besides, given the information I have, my current one appears to be by far the most plausible and logical one. And, if not, well, at least I tried, and I'm fairly sure I've at least come very close to the answer. :P

@TheSilverFox, I'm always available for shooting down guesses and giving cryptic hints, and since it's weekend now, I'm likely to be on until midnight here.

Ha ha guess which terrible SBer just spent her spring break learning Photoshop instead of working on prior commitments like reading and writing posts.

Ugh.

@Robusto Not when said Tortwag is having some of the worse working weeks of his life - and that's saying a lot - placed right after a trip to his father's grave - which he couldn't even see yet T_T

...WOW, okay, that turned out much darker than expected.

Point is, I rarely figure out riddles when I'm distracted.
ON A HAPPIER NOTE, I'm also playing/analyzing a lot of games, because this 15th of April, my possibly/future Game Design school's Contest will occur, will last an entire day, and I have to be in my top condition to make sure I squash everyone else.

I. Am. So. Excited. @Buggiedude Eh, don't worry, Buggie. I've been fairly inactive in terms of post writing, too. I can relate.

@TheSilverFox, since Robusto created the first two DTs and I created this one, you may go ahead and lock this DT once we reach page 99. Preferably create a new DT on your own, copy the ID over to make it legitimate, and then move the most important posts from this DT to the new one.

@AstralHunter: Okay, but how do I copy an ID from one DT to another, and how do I move posts from one DT to another if they have identical IDs?

@TheSilverFox, when you create a new DT, you replace the old ID with the new DT's one. Moving posts are irrelevant, even if it's the first page of an old DT, since the next post of the old DT will become the new first post, like with a vice president stepping up if the president is assassinated. Don't worry; you'll be fine.

@AstralHunter: Well then, I'll see what I can do. I'm just surprised we've reached that point where we need a fourth DT. I don't think I've ever seen another SB that can even claim to have gone through one DT. XD

Okay, so I'm going to begin work on the post featuring the second day of training. I expect to be complete around Saturday/Sunday, and my word count will likely be slightly less than the previous day's (as I don't have as much to cover and discuss). @AstralHunter, who will be administering the poison that is one of the components of that last challenge?

North will use Toxic on our characters, after which Lt Madeleine will create a substitute that's twice as durable as usual. They need to destroy it before the bad poisoning makes them faint.
