__TOC__

==Editors==
===Centipede===
===Scott===
Scott is an American, fFor which an apology seems appropriate. No sensible cause can be fFound fFor the queer lisp apparent in his writing, though sometimes gothic architecture is to blame. He is proud to drink plenty of hard liquor; He only smokes when on fFire, which as you can imagine is all the time. He has a bit of a fFastener fFetish, loves pirates, bad movies, and pi.

===SledgeCallier===
Having spent his formative years in rural Leicestershire, SledgeCallier was transplanted to Oxford in a failed attempt to absorb knowledge. Instead he found himself working as a Cartographer. After a few years of this Sledgecallier came to his senses and moved into an IT Helpdesk role from where he now hides his powers from the rest of the world.

==Authors==
===Ammonite===
Ammonite (real name Alex Fleetwood) lives in London, England. He works for old media. His favourite things include choral music, Anthony Lane reviews, shingle beaches and beer.

===Coxtin===
Conceived with an unusual amount of purpose and vigour Chris Martin finally arrived into the world after a record six thousand nine hundred and seventy two week gestation period inside his surrogate mother-Daily Mail columnist Melanie Phillips. Standing tall at six foot nine he often strides around London parks mimicking Peter Crouch mimicking John Cleese mimicking Hitler. Attaching loaves of bread to his shoes, elbows and eyes, tourists are often shocked to see a tall man goose-stepping around Hyde park with Ducks, Swans and Chihuahua dogs biting at his flailing arms, legs and head. Academically the man appears to be inconstant however his main ambition when he sat his GCSEs was to spell out the name of his best friend, Adae, with his results. Although this was seen by the London School of Economics and Political Science to be a failure Chris could only see his results as a good thing and wondered if anyone was called Lseps. Frequently bored by his job he can often be found sitting in a second floor office in Blackfriars, in the city of London, making absurd claims about his life-he never tells people about this hobby though as Chris feels that no one would believe him. As far as hobbies go this crab ridden freak of man has few-however he does tie small children to famous buildings. He once tied up Jimmy Cranky to the Taj Mahal. He was greatly distressed to find that Jimmy was not a small child, but just a bit odd. Chris, aged nine, can be easily recognised because he has a head made out of corrugated iron, wood and apples.

===Cronogenesis===

Conogenesis (Jack smith) is a student/giant/pirate from Heanor, Derbyshire. Although living in this area, he is actually a citizen of the nation of Lovely, a small country in the middle of London boasting a population of 52,000. Cron has been searching for the Cube since the early days althought is usually ignored due to his mass speculation. He is best known for his poetry, rather than stories. Some of his better known pieces include "Weather" and "Mr. Moonlight". If you are looking for Cron you will usually find him listening to Viards 'The Silver City' or helping some stranger. He says hello, have a great day and may fortune smile upon you in the future :).

===Duckiemonster===
Duckiemonster is a medical student looking for something to fill the hole in her life left by the recent demise of a three-year relationship. She loves to write, play bass guitar and also runs knitting classes.

===Enigmaster===
Born and currently living on the friendly island of Jersey, Enigmaster (real name Lyle Entwistle) often finds himself cut off from the action surrounding the efforts of the mainland Cube-hunters, but still enjoys the thrill of the (metaphorical) chase. When he's not surfing or solving, he indulges in fresh and varied rock music, gadget shopping and can even be seen attempting a 'normal' teenage social life - with debatable success. Carpe Noctem!

===Fantasticalan===
Fantastic Alan takes absolutely no pride in the ridiclously non-modest nickname he was given once upon a time. Similarly, however, he doesn't attempt to stop its propagation (well, would you?). Hailing from God's own town of Hinckley, in God's own county of Leicestershire (OK, I'll stop there), he isn't yet thirty and might do karaoke if he's drunk enough. He doesn't like cushions.

===Frankie Roberto===
===Forg===
Forg comes from a small little village outside Loughborough in which he has just inhabited. Starting his first year of A levels and spends all of his life either at his wonderful girlfriends house, working or spending huge amount of times sitting here learning about the wonderful world of Perplex City. Being fairly new to the community he is just getting settled into the goings on however he's loving every minute and one day, we will find that cube! The rest of his wonderful life is spent eating sleeping and playing his guitar.

===GasparLewis===
===Gibbet===

The story of Gibbet stretches back over two centuries. In the year 1765 at the crossroads between Coventry and Keniworth, three scoundrels were hung for murder on a freshly erected gibbet. Flash forward to the present day and this place has become part of the vibrant Warwick University campus. And in 2002, young David Hill enrolled as a fresher. It took a rugby drinking social to notice the connection between his surname and this famous section of campus. But since that day Gibbet he became. Some say that if you listen to him talk you can just about make out the screams for mercy from the condemned men hung there all those years ago. Others just say that he talks rubbish! On a lighter note, he enjoys racket sports, plays trombone and spends far too much time on the computer!

===Hituro===
Hituro is an electronic enigma, a personality created by an out of work web designer with too much time on his hands. When translated into the real world Hituro enjoys reading, writing, roleplaying, gaming and running large multi-player online games which take up entirely too much of his time!

===Josh Black===
===MagikGuy===
MagikGuy (Stefan Marseglia) falls under the Perplexian zodiac sign of "The Apple-Thief" and is currently studying A-Levels at his local Sixth Form in the areas of English Literature, French, General Studies, Information Communication Technology and Sociology. MagikGuy would like to aspire to become a Journalist when he is older and would like to study at Marmalejo College in Perplex City, the same place where Scarlett Kiteway is currently majoring in Journalism. MagikGuy has been a devoted member of the Perplex City phenomenon from early August 2005 and wishes to do his best in order to help out Perplexians by finding the whereabouts of The Receda Cube.

===Katie Goldblatt===
Katie Goldblatt is, at seven years old, one of our youngest participants in the cube retrieval scheme. This brown haired, green eyed young cube hunter goes to St Peter at Gowts in Lincoln and says her most treasured possession is a picture of Scarlett Kiteway that was sent to her by Sente's youngest daughter. Her interests include her baby sister Amy, playing and talking and learning about Perplex City. Her favourite computer games are the SSX series of snowboarding games and Sims 2.
Katie's mum & dad, Nikki Jenkins & James Goldblatt, have been known to join in with cube hunting too! They all play together online as Roxeth.

===MikeyJ===

MikeyJ, was born in Plymouth, UK and is slowly making his way northward. A seasoned porn star (under his full name Michael J Cox), he now intends to turn his hand (and other parts of his anatomy) to more literary pusuits. He hopes you prefer them.

===Mokey F. Rock===
Mokey belly dances and studies Japanese, which (sort of) accounts for her strange hybrid of the two cultures in her story. She believes in literature, the theatre, games, and all forms of healthy entertainment. When she isn't goofing off, Mokey writes and teaches English, which unfortunately does not mean she gets paid to talk about Shakespeare every waking moment -- just some of the time.

===number9dream===
Number9dream (aka Simon Douglas): fondness for flying kites, wearing ladies underwear and drinking espresso. That’s it.

===oliverkeers13===
oliverkeers13: Real name Oliver Keers. This young man started his life of crime early. His most recent, and arguably most infamous, illegal activity was at a recent Cube Hunting event in London, UK, Earth. He beat up several small children, and an elderly couple, in order to obtain exclusive cards. These were held by a secret illegal organisation, prompting much speculation as to his involvement with this organisation. Oliver refuses to comment on this matter.

===Sentinel===
===Specterz===
Erik Nusselder, aka specterz, is from the Netherlands. He is 21 years old, and studying law school. His hobbies are music and tennis.
Although quite new to the Cube Retrieval Team he has been diligently read up on everything, and hope to assist in finding the cube for the people of Perplex City.

===TheBozzball===

TheBozzball is a mathematician with a PhD from the University of Memphis, and is for a very short time working as a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge before going off to be a quantitative analyst in New York. When not doing mathematics/mind problems, he likes to direct, adapt and perform in theatrical adventures such as his five-man adaptation of Twelfth Night.

Mikeyj: Tales From Earth:Limericks moved to Tales From Earth:Carnival of Monsters

'''Carnival of Monsters'''

Poor Brienigma had guzzled

an enormous number of puzzles.

They soon sent him mad,

(which was terrbily sad)

and resulted in him being muzzled.

JebJoya enjoyed making games,

involving embroidery frames.

He got in a tangle,

used the wrong angle

and his ear hair burst into flames.

When SixSidedSquare was arrested,

"How could I resist" he constested,

"with number9dream

and devonshire cream,

it was really quite nice" he attested.

When looking one day for the cube

and wearing a purple boob tube,

Reason sat down,

and with a slight frown,

discovered the last rhyme was 'lube'.

Juvenile deliquent Centipede,

committed a dreadful misdeed,

and together with Seej,

his most noble liege,

made for the door at full speed.

The slightly delayed toongoon

was due at the meet at noon,

but he'd used the wrong ROT

and on a plane got,

spending the day in Cancun

Mind Candy's Adrian Hon

produced an elaborate con,

"Completely disguised

I'll make off with the prize

and live like a lord from now on".

Completely equipped ARGer Tanner

arrived at the meet with a spanner,

string, pen and paper

mouldy tongue scraper,

and fully mobile cat scanner.

THE PERPLEX CITY ACADEMY

Dear Friend, 28th April 2005

Thank you for your patience; our Cube retrieval project
has been a mammoth undertaking and we are grateful for
your loyalty and support. You were one of the first people
on Earth to answer my plea for help and, on behalf of the
citizens of Perplex City and our agents on Earth, Mind
Candy, I offer you our collective thanks.

For the last 15 months I have been planning a puzzle game
that, I hope, will lead you to the Receda Cube. Preparations
are not yet complete, but they are now sufficiently advanced
that I can give you this exclusive preview. Six prototype
puzzle cards are included in this parcel. You are one of the
first 333 people on Earth to see these cards; they will soon
be available from sources across your world. Hundreds of
different cards will be issued, creating a complex puzzle game.

It may strike some as perverse to create a game in such a
grave situation as this. For us in Perplex City and in the
Academy, the logic is clear. We have observed your culture
and witnessed how fast information can spread in the right
circumstances. We want as many people to be looking for the
Cube as possible; we want the news of our quest to spread
rapidly by word of mouth. A game, in your world and in ours,
gets people talking.

Through the cards, and the growing number of our websites we
will make accessible to you, you will have a window into our
world. You will learn about the people and places of Perplex
City and, most importantly, our way of thinking. We have
investigated the theft very thoroughly and have been unable to
solve the mystery. We hope that you will be able to make links
and propose solutions that we might have overlooked. It is also
our firm belief that the greatest problems are solved by new
thinking, by lateral thinking; the kind of thinking that is
engendered by a game or puzzle. Puzzles are a central part of
our culture and society. We hope that this game will be a trigger
for the people of Earth to enjoy and respect them as much as we do.
Intelligence and puzzle-solving skills are to be applauded, not
hidden away.

As a further incentive and to encourage the largest possible number
of participants, our agents on Earth, Mind Candy, are able
to offer a reward of PCL2,000,000 which is approximately
equivalent to Â£100,000, $200,000, 150,000 or ~20,000,000 to the
person who finds the Cube. Mind Candy will also be arranging the
distribution and marketing of these cards across your world. They will
be selling the cards for PCL5O, Â£2.50 or $5.00 for each pack of six.
There is yet more I have planned, but this must all wait for now.

My friend, the Cube is an irreplaceable part of our history; it
vital for us to retrieve it, and for this we need your help. This is
only the beginning of the journey we will make together. May we find
success waiting for us at the end.
