The Spoon and the Witch Hunt

Discussion about Guude's latest Mindcrack episode.
Contains spoilers, so I recommend watching the episode before reading behind the cut.



I'm not sure how I feel! I love Team Nancy Drew and I am looking forward to stuff and seeing where this goes, but it felt so forced/fake, and I'm terrified of them going Yogscast with the fakey set-up scripted stuff. And I'm a bit annoyed that they've apparently set up a fake mystery for Team Nancy Drew to solve when they've had Pakratt's actually anonymous (at the time) mystery riddles for months and completely ignored them. What gives? :/

So I'm both excited and apprehensive...

I didn't really care that it was obviously fake. I'm just excited at the prospect of Nancy Drew assembling to do stuff. I wonder what the purpose of it is, though. Reddit seems to think it's to introduce a new person to the server. Do we have any evidence that someone new is going to be added, or who it could be? But I don't think there's any real danger of them going Yogscast on us. They know part of what makes them so popular is how "genuine" (as in not scripted) they are. This is probably just a one off thing.

But yeah, it is a shame that they never properly took on Pakratt's T3 project, even when they said they would. :(

Yeah, I am mostly excited for the knowledge that we're gonna get all four on a call on Mindcrack soon, whether or not its to investigate some "mystery" or not. It could be a new member, but I'm doubting it, unless it's someone all of Team Nancy Drew knows. I guess it could be and someone is "playing" the witch, but I'm guessing if anything that the "witch" will be Nebris or Etho or GenerikB/BdoubleO or something.

I think I'm just sad that it was so obviously fake to me. Seeing Guude's REAL reaction if he'd found that kind of stuff on the server would've been epic, like "IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU FIND WITCHES WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON SOMEONE IS TROLLING ME RIGHT SOMEONE HAS TO BE TROLLING ME" etc. AH WELL.

I am a grump.

Admittedly, that reaction would have been a hundred times funnier.
