The Coppermind, found on Gulf Shores.

hello there
its been a couple days since we washed up on a shore of a wierd island
becauses of their actions on the plane, waffletree, little miss nyan, and pm2017 are now “elected officials”
but of course not everyone is happy about that…. some people will never be satisfied
anyways the officials are in charge of building shelters and its kinda turned into a contest
they think that the shelter that attracts the most people is the “winner”
so now everyone’s on one official’s side or another
…
…
i’m afraid.
if this keeps up one of the officials might try to stage a coup
and i found this note

Code: Select all

Quick save on the plane. Hope you can do it again. I’ve replaced one of your official’s hardwood with ==Madeira Suave==. Unless you’ve visited Vigo, Addis Ababa, Minsk, Hong Kong, and NY, prepare for a collapse!

i didnt get it at first, but one of the officers (the cute one ) told me that according to this note, one of the shelters had been sabotaged and anyone who went inside would die
now i have to choose which one to go to knowing my choice could not only anger the officials but it could send me to meet my ancestors
---End---

Whoa I'm an elected official? What does that mean? also I would never start a coup

So uh
- The clue said one of the officials, so that kinda narrows it down to like 3 people
- Also the sassy said there were no officers, so what's with that?
- Quick save is a type of saving in video games, like a checkpoint kinda -> pointing to me?
- Szin is someone who does Hamilton animation things on Youtube and stuff
- = venules?
- Madeira Suave is Portuguese for soft wood
- The Coppermind is a Brandon Sanderson wiki
- Vigo is a city in Spain, Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia, Minsk is the capital of Belarus
- The spoiler in the sassy's sig translates to fintofthestar i think

I'm going to look for connections

Why are these so long? WHY AM I NOT AN OFFICER? LMN, the sassy says that s/he's not attacking one person but a shelter? I think each person chooses one shelter and if they pick the wrong one then they die, and if the officers shut down the right one no one dies?
EDITS: I need to read the whole thing.

Code: Select all

The main language of Vigo is Gallican. The main language of Addis Ababa is Amharic. Google Translate mangles words if you translate things enough between multiple languages

Running the text marked as "code" in the clue post from English -> Galician -> Amharic -> English in Google Translategives "Save the plane quickly. I hope you will do it again. You changed one of the bush in <= Soft Wood ==. Will be closed only if you visit Vgo, Addis Ababa, Minnesota, Hong Kong, and New York."

The "I hope you will do it again" leads me to waffletree, who protected DragonTownEpic last time.

Edit: clarification in bold

[JoeyC]

Wait, what did you do? You can RUN the code?

Code: Select all

System.out.println("Hello World!");

Edit: Oh. That would have been cool.

No; I went into Google Translate, and translated the code from English to Galician, then that from Galician to Amharic, and then that from Amharic back to English.
