February 14, 2020[]
Phil (The Clockwork Operator) changed his Discord name to "Philip." Phayke chimed in with their heartfelt experience of reading The Shopkeeper's first cabinet rant for the first time, which prompted the community to vote and give Phayke the final "Ninja" Discord role before the role was phased out from being given to future users.
The Clockwork Concierge announced the beginning of the next phase of Project Solstice, the first phase of which involved housekeeping of the Discord server. After giving users with the "Ninja" Discord role the "Child of the Solstice" Discord role—thus concluding the housekeeping phase of Project Solstice—the Clockwork Concierge began the second phase, creating the #mooncradle text channel and summoning Headmaster Moraine from Mooncradle Village via a portal. The new character spoke using a new type of dialogue text box compared to the style used in The Messenger.
The Clockwork Concierge interrupts a wholesome moment.

| Chemosha | ooh, Phil changed his name 
|
| Phayke | Do the devs ever check this channel? |
| Sol | Sometimes. |
| Sol | I would assume they check it more often than not. |
| Kammesennin | Indeed. |
| Chemosha | I hope he's still the clockwork operator.. |
| Philip | Hey @Phayke - we do check the channels. |
| Samurai | Are you ready philip? |
| Philip | Tough one, I think I am. |
| Philip | I mastered the clockwork, time for some new challenges. |
| Phayke | Cause I just joined this discord to find the person who changed my view on life and tell them thank you. I got this game last year after a major surgery when I was in bed recovering, quite miserable after feeling like I was dying, and only had a weak laptop to play some indie games. I was just hoping to lose myself in some simple platforming but then I read that first shopkeeper rant and it punched me like a surprise uppercut to the nads. It was everything I needed to hear at the exact point in my life I needed to hear it, from the absolute least likely place. Ever since then, I really haven't been afraid of dying with a wasted life. Happiness isn't something you decide you had at the very end, it's a carefully pruned system. Did I have a good day? Did I spend it with those I cherish? Then I have lived s fulfilled life that day. Just wash rinse repeat and refine. I've incorporated it into my own way of thinking and it's spread to other people. It makes them feel a peace too. I almost forgot the source of that philosophy I have been spreading to others. I looked the rant up again this morning and felt compelled to reach out to whoever it was that influence me. I've never had anyone in my life give me such peace and meaning through a single diologue, and it's was written just funny enough to not ruin my playful mood. Just beautiful really. I hope they read this and it's not lost in the flow of chat. And thanks for letting me rant too. |
| Kammesennin | That is beautiful, Phayke! |
| Phayke | Thanks, I'm truly speaking from my heart |
| Sol | I'm glad someone actually takes shoppy's rants to heart |

| Hayden | AAAAHHHG |
| Stéphanie | Can't wait to see her profile picture!! |
| Matehiqu | Welcome Headmaster morain
|
| Dagem | I suppose we should help summon her then? |
| Resident Ace | Round of applause for the Headmaster, coming to us soon! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Before I open the portal, however, The Archivist asked me to make a few things clear. |
| Gooberbarbarian | Ooh |
| JustDenys1 | Oooh! |
| StrawB | alright |
| Ninetales | I'm listening. |
| Burgs | We're listening, Clocko |
| Resident Ace | From the big boss, all of us are at attention |
| Sol | What's the situation? |
| Clockwork Concierge | It is a portal to the very distant past. |
| Sol | Oh no. |
| Vitto | O.O |
| Ecnius | oh no |
| Resident Ace | Sweet |
| Babushka | Time travel |
| Ninetales | cool |
| Sol | This CAN NOT be good |
| SvEm | Rip ninja |
| Clockwork Concierge | As such, Headmaster Moraine is not to be concerned with some of the events you |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... took part in? |
| Stéphanie | Of course |
| Ecnius | 
|
| StrawB | i understand that |
| Stéphanie | Damn that's convenient |
| KiAliens | Oh of course |
| Gooberbarbarian | Wait is this about the construction of the clockwork castle??? Because of shoppy's relatives??? Is mooncradle village the past version of clockwork castle?mm |
| Deleted User | So basically what you're saying is Moraine will have no knowledge of The Messenger related events. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I trust you can all welcome him in good faith, and pay attention not to cause him undue stress. |
| Dagem | Ahhh confirmation of Moraine being a him. 
|
| Proudmoore | Im sure nothing will go wrong and no stress will be caused, right guys? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Are we all on board? |
| HD | yes |
| StrawB | we will attempt to make him welcome here |
| Gooberbarbarian | Yes!!! |
| Sol | I am! |
| Ecnius | kinda |
| Hayden | yes |
| Deleted User | I'm on board! |
| PhΩmega | all aboard! |
| StrawB | i understand |
| JustDenys1 | YES!!! |
| Stéphanie | Of course! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I will now summon Headmaster Moraine. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ah yes, time magic and server caching. |
| Proudmoore | Patience, fellow ninjas! |
| Clockwork Concierge | A moment, please. |
| VeggieDelphine | Hello Headmaster! Welcome! |
| Lich | Booom |

| Soleil | 
|
| StrawB | oh... Welcome there Headmaster Moraine! Hope we didn't scare you...too badly... Eitherway please enjoy your stay here! |
| JustDenys1 | Welcome!!! |
| Kammesennin | Thank you, Concierge! We really put you through the ringer today, but you've done well! |
| Clockwork Concierge | It appears the Headmaster is still getting his bearings. Perhaps we should close the portal... |
| Deleted User | How do we close the portal? |
| Y.C. | NO CLOSE |
| KiAliens | It's better to be safe than sorry |
| Vitto | or calm people down |
| JustDenys1 | NO CLOSE! |
| Stéphanie | No no just wait a bit |
| Sol | or calm people down good luck with that |
| Skyknight | CLosing the portal would be bad, and would make us sad. |
| Stéphanie | Guys we're putting too much pressure on him!! |
| Burgs | Whatever you need to do, Clocko |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh no, what if Project Solstice was a mistake? |
| Kuroe | people plz let's chill for 2 minutes (maybe) |
| Y.C. | Everyone take a 1 millisecond break of typing |
| Proudmoore | Uh oh |
| Bubamrav | No |
| BillCipher44 | No it wasn't |
| JustDenys1 | WHAT?! |
| PhΩmega | too far to back out now |
| Stéphanie | Don't worry Clocky, it's not! |
| Soleil | Clearly the hype means it's a great thing. |
| Bubamrav | NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo |
| Dagem | It probably was @Clockwork Concierge Pack it up, let's go home. |
| felixiiisms | uhhhh should you be opening and closing it on a whim like that? |
| Gooberbarbarian | No is not is very good |
| Y.C. | NO |
| Burgs | We trust your judgement. |
| Bubamrav | NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo |
| Adam | Removing the ninja purple color was def a mistake |
| Deleted User | Hm? Why would you think it's a mistake, Clocky? |
| JustKostya1 | NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! |
| Babushka | What are you talking about, Clocko? |
| chasaya | I do believe this is clocky's way of telling us to shut up |
| JustDenys1 | NO NO NO NO |
| Sol | We trust your judgement. I agree. |
| Babushka | Are you worried? |
| Resident Ace | A mistake is just a regrettable choice |
| Matehiqu | JUST SHUT UP PEOPLE |
| JustDenys1 | NO!!! |
| Kuroe | again, let's just chill for a bit. |
| Y.C. | NO CLOSE |
| Ninetales | let's calm down. It shouldn't take this long for us to stop being hyped. xd |
| JustDenys1 | RIP |
| StrawB | oh no no. it wasnt a mistake! far from it! we just people get excited a bunch thats all |
| Vitto | AND GONE |
| Clockwork Concierge | What if it is too much of a shock? The people of his time need him! |
| StrawB | this is to be expected |
| Adam | Also Let's try to calm down... Concierge: sends un-calming question |
| KiAliens | Guys, please relax |
| Y.C. |
|
| Resident Ace | Bye Moraine then |
| Matehiqu | This is like when the shop opened |
| Resident Ace | See you soon |
| Deleted User | Well Clocky, then what we need to do is get this Solstice Project completed as quickly as possible. |
| Skyknight | If CC's post was supposed to calm people down it did the opposite |
| Burgs | The Headmaster seems a wise sort, to have such an important position |
| Ninetales | Quiet game time! Staring.. now! 
|
| Sol | If he isn't ready, it's that simple. |
| Bubamrav | He can always go back at the same time he went |
| Matehiqu | just shut up for a moment |
| Deleted User | Why don't we start by helping him get his bearings? |
| BillCipher44 | Bye Mory |
| Bubamrav | We have timetravel |
| Skyknight | Y'all just gotta stop typing, you don't need to send another message |
| Stéphanie | I'm playing the quiet game too. |
| Y.C. | Sotp type nowwew |
| felixiiisms | stop typing spoilers is the message imo |
| Sol | Just saying everyone saying "stop typing" is typing to say stop typing |
| StrawB | well if Moraine is to get this message. We are sorry. and i think i speak to the behalf of everyone here when i say that. |
| JustDenys1 | What a miss... We waited for him those weeks, and... he just left |
| Stéphanie | Final shush. |
| Y.C. | Feelsbadman |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| Ecnius | . . . |
| JustDenys1 | ...? |
| VcMc | I missed a lot, but holy gosh |
| Resident Ace | . . . |
| Y.C. | woah |
| Babushka |
|
| Skyknight | Well, it's a bit calmer now, I'd say |
| Thero1st | Moraine still is here |
| Y.C. | Yeppers |
| Clockwork Concierge | I thought I had performed the ritual properly. |
| Gooberbarbarian |
|
| Thero1st | Can we somehow help ? |
| Kammesennin | What went wrong? |
| KiAliens | Clocko, don't overetend yourself either, you are doing the best you can to bring the best for us |
| Adam | F |
| Stéphanie | Don't worry too much, Clocky |
| Gooberbarbarian | 
|
| Vitto | back |
| JustDenys1 | HE JOINED AGAIN! |
| Adam | Oh hey |
| Stéphanie | It's okay |
| Sol | So uh, guys. How do we know we need to be quiet? |
| Rainbowdragoneyes | This is a classic case of Portal Polysemy |
| Rainbowdragoneyes | I'm sure he'll be fine.... |
| Sol | So uh, guys. How do we know we need to be quiet? They never said anything about it. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh no, Headmaster Morain can not be lost in time! |
| Stéphanie | OH NO |
| Clockwork Concierge | The repercussions... |
| Adam | I am willing to sacrifice myself to a time ritual to save headmaster moraine |
| Y.C. | LET US HELP |
| Adam | I am willing to sacrifice myself take me |
| Kammesennin | Concierge, you're worrying enough to interfere with your spelling module. |

| Thierry | @everyone We did a big refactor of the layout today, as we are gearing up for a big announcement next month! A new character of yet unknown origin, Headmaster Moraine, has joined to guide the community as we gear up for said announcement. In the meantime, users who stand out will receive the "Child of the Solstice" role. Those interested in being notified when special events occur can opt-in by sending the "!argin" command in a DM to the Clockwork Concierge. Also, the server has been rebranded to represent Sabotage as a whole. Feel free to ask any questions in the #general channel

The community noticed that Thierry had the "ARG" Discord role and made some jokes, which led to the Clockwork Concierge sharing a free Steam code for The Messenger. After a few users asked for clarification regarding the composer of The Messenger's sound effects, Rainbowdragoneyes stopped by, explaining that 100% of the audio in The Messenger was his doing. The Clockwork Concierge agreed.

SaboTeam released a teaser video for their then-untitled upcoming video game. Later, Headmaster Moraine returned, and the process of training to become a Solstice Warrior began in the Discord server.

A new user named Shuu joined the Discord server and immediately began their Solstice Warrior training. Later, a user named Mason began their training.

Headmaster Moraine announces the start of Solstice Warrior training.
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Headmaster Moraine | It is time to begin your training. |
| Headmaster Moraine | To become fully fledged Solstice Warriors and join me in Mooncradle, I must first meditate with the stars and shape each of you into proper heroes. |
| Headmaster Moraine | To achieve this I will need your input. A proper hero has clear intention, and demonstrates a strong will. |
| Headmaster Moraine | If you are a Child of the Solstice, send me the !ascend command at your convenience and we will begin this process together. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Once you have joined me in Mooncradle, you will be able to nominate other members for the Child of the Solstice role. |

The Clockwork Concierge reminded everyone that Sabotage Studio's then-untitled upcoming video game would have an announcement in a week. He also explained that only humanoids can become Solstice Warriors. Afterwards, he told the community they could reach out to moderators to nominate users to become Children of the Solstice before the formal process was added.
Headmaster Moraine welcomed the new Children of the Solstice and revealed ahead of time that Garl is Zale and Valere's best friend. Thierry told him to stop revealing spoilers and joked that he would make a great concierge. Some theories were made about the upcoming game and its timeline, which confused Headmaster Moraine before he left to meditate.
The Clockwork Concierge wishes everyone a good day.

| Thierry | @everyone Announcing Sea of Stars, a turn-based RPG inspired by the classics, and a prequel story set in The Messenger’s universe! We have been secretly working on Sea of Stars for over a year now. In these trying times, our role as entertainers finds new purpose, and we hope that this announcement can bring a ray of sunshine to your day. After careful consideration, we decided to go ahead with the launch of our Kickstarter campaign today, and to review our pledge tiers to accommodate those financially affected by the current situation. It would mean a lot for us to see you support our next project, but please, do not spend money you do not have, spreading the word is another great way to help! To see the trailer, learn more or help crowdfund the game, head over to our Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sabotagestudio/sea-of-stars/ Oh, and feel free to follow Sea of Stars on Twitter! @seaofstarsgame Stay safe

| Thierry | Yo clocko |
| Thierry | We didn't really have anything planned for at least a week |
| Clockwork Concierge | Surely the writer can write a thank you note? |
| Thierry | I dunno I've been crying all day |
| Vasilas | @Thierry happy tears? |
| StarHawk | its okay thierry |
| Clockwork Concierge | Awww |
| Clockwork Concierge | Now, I have a few suggestions. |
| Clockwork Concierge | How about, a Legendary JRPG Composer contributing a couple of music tracks? |
| Thierry | No that's too epic for a first stretch goal |
| Clockwork Concierge | I see.. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Well, how about.... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Adding fully animated 2D cinematic cutscenes to the game? |
| Thierry | Come on clocko, that's too much for a first update! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I see... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Well, how about... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Shooting a behind the scenes documentary over the next two year? |
| Lojemiru | WOAH |

| Clockwork Concierge | Well, how about... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Single Player ? |
| Thierry | We already have that..... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ok, well, how about... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Single Player PLUS?? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Not co-op per se, I mean Single Player PLUS! |
| Clockwork Concierge | You know, letting a friend run around with you, while having the main player do key actions, to remove all camera hassles. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Jump in, or jump out. 'Seamlessly' as you always seem to be mentioning... |
| Thierry | That's a good pitch clocko! |
| Thierry | Sinlge Player + anyone? |
| Crystal | sounds nice |
| Kuroe | and also seems doable |
| Soul Lab | secret of mana style co op let's go |

| PhΩmega | @ARG attention all! more stretch goals! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I am afraid we find ourselves in a terrible situation indeed. |

| Clockwork Concierge | All I have is this Pilot for cinematic cutscenes, but no one cares about that in RPGs... |

The Clockwork Concierge shared some information about the upcoming reveal of the third stretch goal for the crowdfunding campaign. Later he answered a few community questions revealing that Manfred attempted to fetch the Scrying Orb.
The Clockwork Concierge mentions the upcoming announcement of the third stretch goal.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, it seems the time to announce Stretch Goal No. 3 is almost here. |
| Clockwork Concierge | What will it take to stop the SaboTrain? |
| Soleil | Ping ARG or no? |
| Clockwork Concierge | No need, I am simply rambling. |
| Soleil |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I personally love the scenes. Are many of you interested in what lies behind them? |
| chasaya | Yes! |
| StarHawk | well yes indeed |
| Brokemia | Is this about the documentary? |
| Brokemia | I'm interested |
| Clockwork Concierge | Pardon my curiosity, it may very well be unrelated. |
| Clockwork Concierge | This next objective will be a smaller one. |
| Clockwork Concierge | There are two major things headed our way however. |
| Clockwork Concierge | One of melodic proportions, the other more physical in nature. |
| StarHawk | hmm could that be a legendary rpg composer and a physical copy of the game? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Again the next goal will be a smaller one. I do hope we make it past it, however. |
| StarHawk | i hope so too |
| StarHawk | i would love to hit all the stretch goals but i fear we might not make it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Fear not, StarHawk, for 100% of the campaign I was involved with have been successfully funded in 6 hours and 15 minutes. |
| StarHawk | i suppose it depends on how many there are and how much each one will take |
| Clockwork Concierge | As there are no indications that the people driving the SaboTrain have any idea what they are doing, I share this concern. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Turning off sarcasm module, please wait... |
| Thierry | Woah it's even self-regulating now |
| Thierry | Good job @Philip |
| Philip | Continuous integration they said. |
| Philip | Good concern @StarHawk |
| Philip | These balancing skills might come in handy. |
| Samurai | as you were saying about stretch goals @Clockwork Concierge ? 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Pardon? |
| Samurai | werent you going to tell us what the new stretch goals are going to be? |
| Samurai | or was this just an announcement that there will be an announcement...
|
| Clockwork Concierge | We have yet to reach the target I'm afraid. |
| Samurai | ok, fair enough. i hope we get there really soon though |
| Samurai | if we dont get there soon, we might not have enough time left in the campaign to reach the new goals... |
| Clockwork Concierge | We received confirmation today that a very big thing will happen for stretch goals, but we must pace ourselves for the time being. |
| Samurai | very nice. thank you for all of the info CC!!
|
| Samurai | we all appreciate your hard work and dedication |
| Clockwork Concierge | ❤ ❤ ❤ |
| Samurai | by the way, is there any update on how Manfred is doing? we haven't heard from him in quite a long time |
| Clockwork Concierge | He hasn't returned yet. |
| Soleil | Returned from what?? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Fetching the Scrying Orb, of course! |
| Samurai |
|
| Samurai | the scrying orb was located? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Suses sure kicks hard... |
| Samurai | have you heard from Suses at all? we sure miss him a lot and we still feel bad about what happened |
| Clockwork Concierge | It was not, Manfred simply flew in its general direction. I believe it has been long enough, perhaps I will call him back. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Suses is living a happy life in mountains with his brother. I must confess offering him a job as a community manager was not my brightest idea. |
| Samurai | we all make mistakes, but we still love and miss him nonetheless |
| Samurai | and we also hope manfred's journey home is safe |
| Samurai | please let them both know we are thinking of them and hope they are doing well |
| Clockwork Concierge | I will. |

| Samurai | You must be excited for the announcement tomorrow |
| Panda | I think everyone is excited |
| Masquerade | What does everyone think it is? |
| Matehiqu | i have no idea |
| Matehiqu | but it's going to be "Literally the most epic thing that could happen in Sea of Stars" or something like that |
| Matehiqu | wait |
| Samurai | Next week |
| Matehiqu | oh |
| Matehiqu | so tomorrow is probably physical releases or smth |
| Samurai | Maybe physical version tomorrow?
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I am very excited indeed! |
| Matehiqu | why don't i get an react
|
| Matehiqu | i said literally what Samurai said but before he said it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Though I must admit I would fast forward to Tuesday if I could... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Doesn't 'or smth' makes you technically correct regardless of what the announcement is? |
| Matehiqu | 
|
| Matehiqu | idk |
| Clockwork Concierge | I am calling it now, tomorrow announcement will either be free lemonade, or something else. |
| Brokemia | You just might be right Clocko |
| Matehiqu | i have got in to a habit of saying "or smth" when i guess anything |
| Panda | Free lemonade I would like |
| Gigi | Free lemonade! |
| Samurai | Mmm. Lemonade... |
| Brokemia | Will there be a free lemonade tier of backer? |
| Samurai | I mean, lemonade is smth |
| Storme the Cat | Better start squeezing those lemons, Clocko |
| Matehiqu | did Clocko just personally make fun of me? i feel special |
| Clockwork Concierge | I miss Lemonade Tycoon... |

| Storme the Cat | It's like Roller Coster Tycoon but for lemonade |
| Hayden | clocko with the typos smh my head 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Apologies, the harships of campaigning are taking their toll on these old gears. |
| Clockwork Concierge | That one was intentional, though I may also be too tired to meme. |
| Hayden | if you’re wondering Ph- Clocko it’s the “s” on “makes you,” it should just say “make you”
|
| Philip | Good ol' clocko. |
| Philip | It's been a year now. |
| Samurai | Wow. Time flies |
| Samurai | Youve done well programming it, Phil
|
| Philip | I sure learned a lot doing it, it's pretty stable now! |
| Samurai | Any new upgrades to expect coming up in preparation for SoS? |
| Philip | of course. |
| Philip | Once we're done with the campaign, I can get back to reading some Clockwork manuals and figure more things out. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I would greatly appreciate a spell-check module, Philip. |
| Clockwork Concierge | It seems despite my hones attempts at being an acceptable host, human nature tends to revel in my shortcomings. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I would like to do better. |
| Matehiqu | i think you're doing a great job CC |
| Samurai | I love you just the way you are Clocko. Flaws and all

A new community member, Smash78, got confused by the community members talking about ARG. This prompted the Clockwork Concierge to provide them a first-hand experience. Later, while hyping up the upcoming announcement, he shared that Sea of Stars will feature the ability to name the playable characters (this functionality is not available in the game).
The Clockwork Concierge welcomes Smash78.

| Clockwork Concierge | Good morning Smash78. |
| Smash78 | good morning |
| Sol | and there ya go |
| Sol | firsthand experience |
| Smash78 | how are you |
| Clockwork Concierge | I must say, you sure sound like someone who has never seen a cyclops punt a Scrying Orb so hard it travelled across time into a prequel. as an easter egg. |
| Clockwork Concierge | But please go on. |
| Chemosha | WHA |
| Smash78 | i do sound like that? that sucks |
| Smash78 | Clockwork, what do you eat? |
| Clockwork Concierge | There is an extra word in that question, and the answer is no I don't. |
| Smash78 | you don't eat? |
| Sol | Well he did cook us up a tidal wave of lore once. |
| Sol | That was pretty tasty. |
| Dagem | We also consumed it very fast 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Ah yes, though I must say it was eaten up rather quickly. |
| Dagem | jinx @Clockwork Concierge |

|
| Clockwork Concierge | The hardest part of waking up to this news will be checking to make sure you are not in fact still sleeping. |
| Thierry | lol clocko |
| Thierry | we get it you're excited |
| Soleil | composer reveal |
| Thierry | don't overhype it, what if it's underwhelming? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Did I mention anything about a composer? |
| Dagem | Yes you did |
| StarHawk | you did a while back clocko |
| Dagem | 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, I was simply rambling... |
| Hayden | Thierry also said a “Melodic” announcement is Tuesday |
| Hayden | and then Phil spoiled that Thierry spoiled |
| Dagem | Ironic how your rambling also listed other stretch goals then @Clockwork Concierge Seems your ESP module is working just fine. |
| StarHawk | all those other 'ramblings' seem to have become stretch goals
|
| Storme the Cat | It would be awesome, but I think that's what Clocko's point was. That a legendary guest composer would indeed be awesome. |
| Storme the Cat | Not necessarily that it would happen |
| Soleil | If it is a composer CC can't break NDA right now |
| Less | CC is such a joy to read
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I understand I might have set some pretty high expectations in my ramblings... |
| Clockwork Concierge | I hope tomorrow's announcement will not disappoint. |

| Dagem | Sure |
| ADUARTENOG | Yes |

The Clockwork Concierge appeared shortly before the announcement of Yasunori Mitsuda being a guest composer for Sea of Stars and hinted at it's subject. Later, he complained that he was given an incorrect spoiler (that Sea of Stars will feature the ability to name the playable characters) in order to avoid him revealing the announcement to the community a day early. The Clockwork Concierge has also shared the reveal date of the next stretch goal.

| TheEgghead27 | guess your pipes are too leaky |
| TheEgghead27 | thats what controlling the weather for centuries does to your body |
| StarHawk | well you see clocko |
| StarHawk | did you not realize that perhaps being able to name characters isnt exactly the "best thing to ever happen to sos" |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| Hayden | It’s okay clocko you tried |
| StarHawk | i guess that really depends on perspective tho
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I didn't. Am I gullible? |

The Clockwork Concierge revealed that the crowdfunding campaign was about to reach its final stretch goal before it was even announced.
The Clockwork Concierge reveals that the crowdfunding campaign is about to reach its final stretch goal.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, it seems the final stretch goal will be reached before we it is even announced! |
| StarHawk | easy, increase the price of the goal |
| StarHawk | lol |
| StarHawk | at this point i think people will end up going way above the final goal |
| Clockwork Concierge | That would be unprecedented! |
April 9, 2020[]
The Clockwork Concierge realized that the crowdfunding campaign was only a few pledges away from reaching the final, not yet revealed, stretch goal and that its potential announcement post would soon after be followed by a celebration post. After community tried to reassure him and the conversation shifted towards Manfred's new cereal business, the crowdfunding campaign passed 750,000 Canadian dollars, thus reaching the unannounced stretch goal, and a DLC for Sea of Stars called Throes of the Watchmaker got announced.
The Clockwork Concierge realizes it's already Noon EST.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, is it Noon EST already? |
| Clockwork Concierge | I will ask Saboteam to prepare the announcement! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Well, this is awkward. |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Whats awkward!? |
| Crystal | we already reached the stretch goal? |
| Matehiqu | 
|
| Smash78 | Probably |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Oh yeah that's what it is lol |
| Dagem | Wonderfully awkward Clocko |
| Clockwork Concierge | Let peruse the stretch goal etiquette... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Utterly unprecedented! I am not sure we can announce anymore. |
| Gigi | Unprecedented doesn't mean forbidden though... |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Nervous |
| Mr_GoodFellow |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | A fair point, Gigi. |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Indeed. Quite fair |
| Dagem | In this case Clocko, I have a feeling unprecedented simply means exceeding expectations. This is something Sabo Team always does, but will never get used to. |
| pidge208 | Please i can’t deal with all that excitment! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Should we go ahead, then? |
| Crystal | wooooooooooooo |
| Sol | Yes please! |
| Crystal | yes |
| Gigi | Yes please! :) |
| WhatsAMod | Please do! |
| Aetyate | whenever thou'st ready |
| Gzoubi | Yeah, I guess.... |
| Thero1st | This time, I feel we exceeded expectations, not SaboTeam |
| Mr_GoodFellow | YESSSSS |
| Thero1st | Please go on |
| Clockwork Concierge | What if it is underwhelming? |
| Thero1st | What if it isn't ? |
| Mr_GoodFellow | We still love you |
| Gzoubi | nah, impossible.... |
| Crystal | what are we going to do? cancel our pledges? |
| TheEgghead27 | Has Saboteam ever done something underwhelming? |
| Crystal | nah |
| Clockwork Concierge | What if it causes a delay in the release? |
| Jman | Then it happens |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Then it does |
| VeggieDelphine | 
|
| Aetyate | delay in release to make the game better? |
| WhatsAMod | Doesn't matter |
| Smash78 | i'd be surprised if it didn't |
| Exempt-Medic | I would rather have a better later game than an earlier worse game |
| Aetyate | oh no, now what |
| Dagem | I mean it will be hard to compete with renamable characters Clocko, but I don't expect to be underwhelmed. |
| Sol | Delays happen all the time anyways |
| Thero1st | What happens happens. Either way, it will make the final product better. |
| TheEgghead27 | A rushed game is forever bad, a delayed game is forever good - Mario Maker |
| yuters | How much delay are we talking about |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Take your time clocko! |
| Clockwork Concierge | This response is not in tune with the data I was given about backers. |
| Clockwork Concierge | On no, my data model is all wrong. This is unacceptable. |
| Sol | Sorry we’re atypical backers |
| TheEgghead27 | no we'll accept this |
| Sol | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| Mr_GoodFellow | We are the best kind of backers! |
| Aetyate | yes, unpredictable backers are terrible, GUYS BE MORE PREDICTABLE! LIKE MAKING IT TO 1M CA |
| Gigi | We are weird I guess XD |
| no057456 | Ayaya |
| Smash78 | How's Manfred by the way? |
| Clockwork Concierge | How are you lenient? Did you REALLY back the project? |
| Sol | Uh yeah |
| zClappj | mhm yes |
| Jman | Did indeed |
| Matehiqu | well, technically i didn't |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Yeah indeed |
| Gigi | Of course |
| pidge208 | Yes! |
| Mr_GoodFellow | Definitely! |
| Aetyate | got a few others to back it too |
| Exempt-Medic | Yup! |

| Thierry | @everyoneWell, we wanted to wait a couple of days after the Mitsuda announcement to let each news live, but now you’ve gone and reached the final stretch goal before we could reveal it! Announcing Throes of The Watchmaker, a full-fledged DLC which we will be working on after the game’s release, which will be free for all backers who pledged for a copy of the game. Congratulations, it’s all yours! As it will be better enjoyed without spoilers, that's all we will say about this clockwork conundrum for now. Thanks everyone for joining us in this adventure, our hearts are filled with gratitude and purpose.  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sabotagestudio/sea-of-stars/posts/2807010

On the day of Thierry's 35th birthday, the crowdfunding campaign passed a 1,000,000 Canadian dollars mark and the Discord server was joined by its 5,000th member, who turned out to be The Shopkeeper speaking through the Clockwork Concierge's microphone (text boxes).
The Clockwork Concierge thanks Philip.

As a reward for the Discord server reaching 5,000 members, a sketch of Mooncradle has been revealed. While the Clockwork Concierge was teasing the reveal, the ARG role was pinged. This prompted the Concierge to share new information about the Dweller of Strife and Headmistress Moyara.
Later that day, the Clockwork Concierge shared a free Steam code for The Messenger and announced a community member, Storme the Cat, a new moderator.
The Clockwork Concierge realizes that Thierry overslept.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | It appears Thierry overslept. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please standby for the area reveal update. |
| Clockwork Concierge | It seems the area reveal is just a simple sketch of Mooncradle. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Inserting lore, please wait... |
| Gooberbarbarian | should we ping |
| Passion | Inserting lore... where? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Into the update. |
| Gooberbarbarian | @ARG |
| Clockwork Concierge | My, was ARG pinged? I am utterly unprepared. |
| Clockwork Concierge | All I know for now is that our story begins long after the Dweller of Strife was defeated, at great cost to the Solstice Warriors. |
| Alex | WRITE THIS DOWN |
| Passion | new term: Dweller of Strife |
| Boo | ...well that's red sooooooo probably important |
| Clockwork Concierge | It appears we won't be discussing Headmistress Moyara's sacrifice, which is a bit of a shame but I suppose makes for a happier beginning, and explains Moraine's presence. |
| JustDenys1 | Headmistress Moyara? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please stand by for update. |
| #announcements | |
|---|---|
| Thierry | @everyone Here we are with the promised area reveal update! To celebrate 1 million, we are ditching all social media goals and will provide two additional updates: a lore primer for those who haven’t been in the loop (TWOL), and third playable character reveal! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sabotagestudio/sea-of-stars/posts/2810308

| Clockwork Concierge | Good day, everyone. It has come to my attention that there has been quite the influx of new members. |
| Clockwork Concierge | My ever diligent mod team has demanded I recruit a new member. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Indeed, while Aenova, Boo, Gzoubi, Swordslash and Kamme 'please move to off-topic' sennin give their best on a daily basis, |
| Clockwork Concierge | Which by the way, a round of applause if you will... |
| [the community sends applause] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | They have demanded a new mod to help join their effort. |
| Clockwork Concierge | After running a few algorithms on past interactions to assess positiveness, responsibility and decisiveness, I have made my decision. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Strome, do you feel you are up to the task? |
| Storme the Cat | Gosh I sure hope so |
| Storme the Cat | otherwise this is gonna get awkward |
| Clockwork Concierge | Fantastic! Please join me in Clockwork Castle now to receive your badge! |
| Storme the Cat | Thank you for the kind words, Concierge! Very flattering! |
| Storme the Cat | I'll see you there! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please stand by, everyone. Storme will be right back. |
| Kammesennin | Congratulations @Storme the Cat! Welcome to the team! |
| Philip | grats @Storme the Cat ! |
| Clockwork Concierge | There we go! Please join me in welcoming Storme as he emerges as a fully-fledged Moderator! |
| [the community congratulates Storme] | |
| Thierry | Yo congrats Storme 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | As this responsibility also comes with inside information that may ruin a bit of the ARG for oneself, we also thank you for your sacrifice. |
| Kammesennin | Please press  to pay respects for Storme's sacrifice

The Clockwork Concierge notified the community about a new Kickstarter update that introduced the content of the Tidal Wave of Lore to a broader audience and hyped up the next update by saying that it will reveal his favorite character. He made more appearances throughout the day interacting with the community members.

| #announcements | |
|---|---|
| Thierry | Only 48 hours left! Today’s update is a look at the origins of the world of Sea of Stars, a lore primer called “The Two Alchemists”. As some of you have read it before through the ARG, we added a couple extra illustrations to have something fresh for everyone! Get ready for the final update tomorrow, where we will be revealing a third combat character. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sabotagestudio/sea-of-stars/posts/2812212

| ASM Havoc | Is that the concierge showing bias |
| Clockwork Concierge | I fail to see how having a preference has anything to do with bias. |
| Clockwork Concierge | After reviewing my contract, I do get to enjoy the story and like certain parts more than others. |
| Gooberbarbarian | Nice title wave of lore
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Glad you liked it, Goober! |

| Clockwork Concierge | Why, thank you Asadullah! |
| Cabob | aesthetic looks great |
| Cabob | darn I want the bot |
| Clockwork Concierge | Most of my behavior is not automated. The tag is because I am literally a robot. |
| Jman | Are you though? |
| Sol | Well yeah, see the Blue BOT next to his name? |
| Sol | That means he's totally a robot. |
| Jman | Hmmm I'm not convinced |
| Clockwork Concierge | My functioning does not require anyone to be convinced. |
| Clockwork Concierge | But if you must know, the easiest way to get tagged in a dialogue box is not using reverse psychology on me. |

|
| Clockwork Concierge | Thank you your support, Doliko! They really should update this message, as it is not a very big 'if' at this point. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Tomorrow is my favorite update! I have been waiting for this character reveal since the original pitch during Sabobo Summit 2018!! |
| Doliko | This bot is sentient |
| Clockwork Concierge | I am a literal robot, Doliko. |
| Gigi | Is the new character actually you Clocko?? 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | It seems I typo quite a bit, too, as the community so diligently reminds me. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I wish, Gigi. |
| Katella | Awww bummer, so much for that theory |
| ASM Havoc | Clockwork, your hands don't look like they were meant for typing |
| ASM Havoc | typos are acceptable |
| Xavi | My guess is that the new character is not humanoid |
| Katella | You thinking like an animal or a machine? |
| Xavi | animal-like |
| Concordia | |
| Gigi | Haha yup Baby Clocko would have been awesome but I'm sure tomorrow's character will we just as nice |
| Concordia | |
| Concordia | That's my silly 2 cents |
| Gigi | Or ?
|
| Xavi | Something like Bow from breath of fire or Frog from CT
|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, so many theories. Perhaps you will be disappointed after all. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ah yes, Bow. What a better way to walk through the woods? |
| Xavi | 
|
| Clockwork Concierge |
|
| ASM Havoc | So, they said the monsters are weak to sun and moon, there's Zane and Valere, and three remaining Solstice warriors |
| ASM Havoc | Is this squadmate the one non solstice warrior |
| Clockwork Concierge | I' going to let you finish, but his name is Zale. |
| ASM Havoc | "With only three Solstice Warriors left, a ray of hope appears as two Children of the Solstice are born..." |
| ASM Havoc | My bad, guess I also typo |
| ASM Havoc | Or don't pay attention, either one |
| Dagem | You dropped this m @Clockwork Concierge |
| Clockwork Concierge | Machine learning has taught me to insert typos when I want to ensure a piece of information is filed and reused. |
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Xavi | Who made these sketches? Because I love them and would love to see them colored one day |
| Xavi | 
|
| Thierry | That's Bryce Kho! He also did most key arts for Messenger. |
| Thierry | Tomorrow's character reveal will include Bryce's sketch version! |
| Xavi | Yessss
|
| Xavi | Why are you all so awesome |
| Xavi | The Zane sketch gives me some serious Amano vibes. No kidding. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Zale? |
| Xavi | LOL |
| Xavi | Not sure why my mind goes to Zane instead of Zale. Sometimes I type Valerie instead of Valere too |

It is time for the last reveal of the campaign, which is admittedly a bit of a step down from all the epicness. Meet Garl the warrior-cook, our heroes’ best friend and support character for the journey. Concepts, sprites and story can be found on the latest Kickstarter update page. Hope you like him! Bringing this wholesome character to life has certainly been a highlight for us. Thanks again, all of you https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sabotagestudio/sea-of-stars/posts/2813787

The first wave of rewards for the Kickstarter pledges has been made available. Thousands of new users had joined the Discord server to claim their backer-exclusive Discord roles and access to the backer-exlusive Discord channels through the Kickstarter Assistant Discord bot.

A new Discord user had joined server and The Clockwork Concierge gave them an introduction.
The Clockwork Concierge encourages Finder to join the community.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Exempt-Medic | I'll say this: The time I've spent in this server has been wholesome, fun, and interesting and I hope yours will be too |
| Finder | I thank you. |
| Finder | Though most discord servers I've been in are not "wholesome". What makes this one different? |
| Hudbus | For starters folks here care about each other |
| Exempt-Medic | People seem to have fun and get along, strike up conversations and get to know each other |
| Sol | There are a LOT of factors for sure. |
| Brokemia | Sabomagic |
| StarHawk | i dunno, the people are just so great and the mods keep everyone in line |
| Clockwork Concierge | If you stay for a while, you will come across a few of the reasons on your own, Finder. |
| Finder | Making a discord server wholesome seems hard to accomplish. Most discord servers are either full of people too young to be going on the internet, full of weird people, or really bland. |
| Finder | Oh. I didn't know the mods could make this bot talk. |
| StarHawk | : D Clocko |
| Papy | CC! |
| Finder | Intriguing. |
| Clockwork Concierge | And I must say the fan-art is quite exquisite! |
| Clockwork Concierge | The mods cannot make talk, in fact. |
| Shard | Well that bot is interesting |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please add any missing words at your earliest convenience. |
| Finder | Ha ha |
| Papy | CC is indeed interesting |
| Alex | sinclair! |
| Gigi | Hey Clocko! |
| Finder | I find it hard to swallow that Clockwork Concierge is a literal AI, considering how it would be extremely difficult to program a discord bot like that when the developers probably have game development things to do. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I only said the mods could not make me talk, which they can in fact not. |

| Crystal | did the mentioned world map disappear? i see no new announcement regarding demo or anything, other than the last 3 messages from cc |
| Soleil | There was a glimpse of the world map in the Kickstarter video / promotional material, it was pointed out in #sos-spoilers to be the same statue as the one in the key artwork. Thierry revealed a tidbit about it in #dev (about the monument being called The Watcher and the island name being Watcher Island), thinking that this was already revealed at an earlier point in time. People weren't sure if it was okay to share that information outside of that channel, so Clockwork Concierge stepped up to the plate. |

A community member had issues with Kickstarter Assistant Discord bot. To resolve this, they were recommended to reach out to Phil as he is great at helping people. This caused the Clockwork Concierge to appear and share his view of Phil.
The Clockwork Concierge praises Philip.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| 404011xz | Is the kickstarter bot slow? Added the little emote but I haven't been sent a message yet |
| Philip | hey @404011xz - send me a DM if you need support
|
| 404011xz | I got it. I turned on "I live on the edge" for the DM scanning. Weird since I've received plenty of weird DMs with it on medium |
| 404011xz | Weird but OK |
| 404011xz | Now how long does it take for the role :P |
| Brokemia | Did you enter your email and code when it asked? |
| 404011xz | Believe so
|
| Brokemia | Your role should be there |
| 404011xz | Is it automatic after a few minutes? |
| Brokemia | It was almost instant for me |
| Saint | Hmm ya gonna have to talk to phil |
| Saint | @404011xz id dm phil |

The Headmaster Moraine returned to the #mooncradle channel and explained the new system of nominating community members for the Solstice Warriors role.
The Headmaster wakes up.
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Headmaster Moraine | Well, this has been quite the refreshing nap. |
| Headmaster Moraine | How is everyone? |
| StarHawk | we missed you |
| Brokemia | Good |
| StarHawk | but yeah, pretty well i'd say |
| Chemosha | Moraaine heyo |
| Soleil | omg welcome back |
| StarHawk | 0: name change |
| StarHawk | (also dont ping ARG this time )
|
| Soleil | He posted 2 text boxes this time, it's time to ping
|
| Headmaster Moraine | It is about time we started recruiting again, let me just check the treasure to ensure we can afford new equipment. |
| Headmaster Moraine | ... |
| Headmaster Moraine | !!! |
| Headmaster Moraine | Ahem. The treasury is doing great! |
| Headmaster Moraine | I should nap more often. |
| Headmaster Moraine | The poweris now deferred to you, Solstice Warriors. Each of you can bestow one mark per day to the user of your choice. |
| Headmaster Moraine | These marks are permanent. After receiving five, the user will be granted the Child of the Solstice role. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Which means you can nominate someone on your own over five days, or organize with your friends to make things happen faster. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Have at it, I look forward to training new recruits! |
| #general | |

A community member Valheru asked a few questions in the #general text channel, and when they were leaving, the Clockwork Concierge told them "Papate" as a farewell.
The Clockwork Concierge says papate to Valheru.
| #general | |

| Valheru635 | Where is the best place to see any In-game content? Assuming there is any.
|
| Leo | For SoS? The official site has some good videos. |
| Thierry | Hey Valheru, most of the footage thus far was part of the Kickstarter video which should still be up |
| Thierry | There will be a livestreamed playthrough of the demo as well |
| Thierry | Maybe soon, depending on how you define soon |
| Valheru635 | Okay, I've seen the videos and the allthe Kickstarter footage. I just wasn't sure if there was more listed here that might not be listed. |
| Thierry | There will be! |
| Thierry | You can also get involved in the ARG if you want to, it won't have spoilers on what happens in the game, but there's a lot of world building going on in there |
| Valheru635 | Soooo... I'm not sure what ARG stands for. 
|
| Leo | Alternate Reality Game |
| Valheru635 | Ahhhh, got it. |
| Valheru635 | Okay, thanks for the quick info. I'll be back later on. Cheers! |

A certain Discord user was deemed worthy of a ban by the Clockwork Concierge and was soon expelled from the server. While the community was discussing what has just happened, the Clockwork Concierge stepped in to change the topic by announcing that the Definitive Edition of The Messenger would include a practice mode for speedrunning.
The Clockwork Concierge expresses his dissatisfaction with a baiting member.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | My, I believe I have had just about enough of this baiting member! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Kamme, Boo or Sol, would you kindly fetch The Hammer please? |
| Sol | 
|
| Boo | Sol, your honor |
| Sol | got it. |
| Boo | I bestow upon you the use of the hammer, wield it well |
| Clockwork Concierge | I believe that was a homerun! |
| Boo | Wow, they grow up so fast! |
| Sol | sure was |
| Boo | sheds a tear |
| London | Out of curiosity is the context for the clock in The Messenger? |
| Brokemia | @London Is this about the clockwork concierge? He’s a character in the Messenger |
| London | Ah ok thanks Brokemia |
| London | Is he properly addressed as clocko or the concierge? Ive seen both is all and am curious |
| Boo | Clocko, Clocky, Concierge, whatever suits you |
| Clockwork Concierge | Some choose to call me Sinclair, but I must say I feel unworthy of the name still. |
| Boo | Yes, also this, uncommoner though, I would say |
| London | ahaha Sinclair is such a lovely name tbh |
| Matehiqu | Clocky, Clocko, Concierge, CC, Sinclair (because he said once that's the name he would like to have) |
| Kammesennin | But yeah that person's gone thankfully so we can all breathe a sigh of relief and get back to regularly scheduled events such as me telling everyone to go to that other channel (I'm not saying to go there right now incase that isn't clear lol) |
| Felix the Ocelot | guess I'm glad I missed the actual messages and saved getting a bit annoyed. |
| Kammesennin | Yeahhh it's clear they were younger and excited, but the behavior just wasn't really in line with the community rules and/or standards. I think Concierge made the right choice, but we should probably stop discussing the person and their poor taste in memes for now. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I can help change the subject if you want. |
| Kammesennin | Oh that would be just swell! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Due to popular demand, a Practice Mode mode will be added to the Definitive Edition! |
| Soleil | lol popular demand |
| Clockwork Concierge | By popular I really meant speedrunners ❤ |

The Clockwork Concierge pressed a button that turned off his microphone (text boxes), causing him to speak in plain text. When Phil appeared after the Concierge called for him, he explained that he didn't have the time to take care of the microphone as the studio was super busy. The Clockwork Concierge apologized and offhandedly revealed that the backer demo would showcase the level up mechanic. Phil managed to fix the issue after the Concierge promised that he wouldn't press the button again.
The Clockwork Concierge greets Apple.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Apple | Good morning |
| Clockwork Concierge | Good morning, Apple SUS! |
| Ya Boi | oh wow, the bot makes its own text boxes |
| Ya Boi | thats, really interesting |
| Clockwork Concierge | I wish I knew how to make boxes, Ya Boi. All I have is this microphone and this button. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Should I press the button? |
| Babushka | YES |
| Somie | YES |
| Somie | ALSO CLOCKY!!! |
| Babushka | As long as it is safe |
| Somie | I get very exited when clocky shows up |
| Matehiqu | i like how we don't even know what the button is |
| Clockwork Concierge | Pressing in 3... 2... 1... |
| Chemosha |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | It appears it had no effect. |
| TheEgghead27 | waitaminute |
| Somie | Hol up |
| Somie | Uh |
| JustDenys1 | Oh, you turned it off |
| Somie | Clocky? |
| JustDenys1 | Push it again |
| Chemosha | rip mic |
| Somie | Aw |
| Somie | turn it back |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, did it turn off the microphone? |
| Somie | yes |
| Somie | Push it back on plz |
| Clockwork Concierge | My, it won't turn on again. How unacceptably embarrassing! |
| TheEgghead27 | uhoh |
| TheEgghead27 | @ PHILIP |
| Somie | Your glorious text boxes |
| Apple | Call tech support |
| Somie | GONE |
| Somie |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I'm on hold to talk to Phil. The music is quite uninspired, but the voice says my call is important to him! |
| Philip | What's up @Clockwork Concierge |
| Chemosha | oh hey Phil |
| Clockwork Concierge | Phil! Well, I, I pressed the button... |
| Philip | Damn, I told you not to press the button. We're super busy these days, I don't have time to look at these old wires. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh I do apologize, I realise "adding the level up system to the demo so people will stop asking how it works" but be quite an effort. |
| Somie | WHAT?? |
| Somie | YES |
| chasaya | 👀 |
| Somie | leveling in demo = big yes |
| Matehiqu | oh they are adding the level up system in the demo so that people will stop asking how it works |
| Matehiqu | that's reasonable |
| Clockwork Concierge | Typo asides, may I request you fix my microphone just this once? I swear I won't press the button again! |
| Philip | Ok, just this once. |
| Clockwork Concierge |
|
| Philip | Try it now. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I have returned! |
| Philip | here you go. |
| Clockwork Concierge | I always wanted to use this quote. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Thank you so much, Phil. I will let you get back to it then. |

The Clockwork Concierge received a mysterious package from Sabotage Studio. The package contained miniature ships and docks that, when assembled correctly, spelled a message "THINK META." Inside was also a note from Phil that said "soon."
The Clockwork Concierge ask Manfred to open the door.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | -Would you please get the door, Manfred? |
| shar | Its clocko |
| shar | Hey clocko |
| Apple | Ooh |
| Clockwork Concierge | -My, that box sure is big! Perhaps we should not open it yet. |
| Chemosha | ooh Clocko! Manfred! |
| Stéphanie | Helooo! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Apologies, was the mic on? |
| Stéphanie | It was |
| Chemosha | hehe yes |
| Chemosha | so what box are you talking about?
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, the embarrassment! |
| Stéphanie | It's finee! |
| shar | What is this box |
| Clockwork Concierge | If you must know, a package just came in. |
| Clockwork Concierge | It is quite big, and I see a big X on it. |
| Stéphanie | Pirate box |
| Clockwork Concierge | Shall I open it, then? |
| shar | Yes please open it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Let's see here... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Perhaps pirate box was right, I do see miniature ships and docks in there... |
| Clockwork Concierge | What could it mean? |
| shar | Inspect the contents |
| TheEgghead27 | |
| chasaya | maybe there's a note |
| Clockwork Concierge | Seems that is all for now, unfortunately. |
| JustDenys1 | oof |
| Clockwork Concierge | There has to be some meaning to this... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Any ideas? |
| Somie | noooo |
| Apple |
|
| JustDenys1 | I think it could be a part of some treasure |
| JustDenys1 | But we need to get a map |
| JustDenys1 | and then find anything that has X on i |
| JustDenys1 | or just follow the map |
| Clockwork Concierge | :ninjaponder: [note: the Clockwork Concierge posted this message in plain text instead of a text box or a emote]
|
| JustDenys1 | Maybe go to those pirate boats |
| JustDenys1 | btw, Clocko, your emote thing doesn't work |
| Clockwork Concierge | That was the joke, Denys. [note: the Clockwork Concierge posted this message in plain text instead of a text box] |
| Chemosha | but where did this box come from?? |
| Chemosha | y'know, is there an address or somethin hah |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, it came from Sabotage! |
| JustDenys1 | :o |
| JustDenys1 | is there a text on how to open it |
| Somie | Simple |
| Somie | You have a cannon |
| Somie | blow it open |
| Somie | or |
| JustDenys1 | no explosions pls |
| Somie | we eat it |
| JustDenys1 | and no eating |
| Clockwork Concierge | I have gone through the content. There are many ships and docks in there, but no message. |
| Chemosha | docks? |
| Chemosha | maybe wee shouuuld like set them in the right docks or something?? |
| Chemosha | I dunno :D |
| chasaya | yeah, we could try to put it all together |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, one of the pieces has The Messenger logo on it! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Perhaps I should assemble the whole thing? |
| [24 minutes later] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ah, there it is! |
| Clockwork Concierge | It is quite beautiful, but the location is of no relevance. |
| Cap'n Rokai Odessey | i dont care about the relevance |
| Cap'n Rokai Odessey | i need the location to search for beruid treasure |
| Somie | yeah |
| Somie | agreed |
| Cap'n Rokai Odessey | ADVENTURE TIME |
| Clockwork Concierge | There must have been a message... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Let me climb this ladder to get a better view of the whole model... |
| Chemosha | Clocko you can fly you know |
| Somie | I thought you could fly? |
| JustDenys1 | woag, how big that ladder is |
| Chemosha | and you don't have legs- |
| Clockwork Concierge | The docks form letters! |
| Clockwork Concierge | MINT KETHA |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| JustDenys1 | Uhm |
| Clockwork Concierge | How utterly unacceptable, these letters make no sense! |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| Clockwork Concierge | It seems I assembled it all wrong. |
| Chemosha | oh |
| Clockwork Concierge | A moment, please. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Surely this goes here... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh and here too, what was I thinking? |
| Clockwork Concierge | My, how embarrasing... |
| TheEgghead27 | its fine |
| chasaya | It's ok, Clocko! |
| Cap'n Rokai Odessey | you were just impatient as the rest of us clocker. it be quite alright |
| Clockwork Concierge | -Manfred, please fetch the pliers. |
| Clockwork Concierge | -Now, if you could just hold this side... |
| Clockwork Concierge | -With your nose, yes. |
| Clockwork Concierge | -That will be all. |
| Clockwork Concierge | -Actually, would you mind flying up and telling me what you see? |
| Clockwork Concierge | -It is a very nice port-town, yes. What do the docks spell? |
| Somie | PORT-TOWN |
| Clockwork Concierge | -THINK META? |
| TheEgghead27 | SoS location reveal? |
| Brokemia | Hmmmmm |
| Somie | hmmmmmmm' |
| Somie | meta |
| Chemosha | Manfred is adorable even behind the text |
| Clockwork Concierge | We have our message, everyone, though it is quite cryptic still. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, there was also a note from Phil! |
| Clockwork Concierge | It says 'soon'. |
| Cap'n Rokai Odessey | trips to floor anime style |
| Clockwork Concierge | Quite a Phil thing to say! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Well, I suppose the meaning of this package will remain lost on us, but it appears we must 'think meta' in order to understand it. |

| [3 minutes later, the Clockwork Concierge returns] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | -I understand, but that was no reason to be rude. Some people simply feel the need to mention they knew something already, for fear others would think they are not cool. I would suggest empathy, and my mic back. |
| [The Clockwork Concierge starts speaking through the microphone (text boxes) again] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | -And next time, please knock first. |

| Brokemia | Yes |
| Clockwork Concierge | Fantastic! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I was curious whether any of you had a favorite poem I should look up? |
| Clockwork Concierge | My personal recommendation would be Antigonish. |
| Sparus42 | The illiad is pretty cool |
| Apple | The Road not taken? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Though I should mention it is a bit spooky... |
| esoterci | Anything by E. E. Cummings |
| Matehiqu | i don't know many poems |
| Clockwork Concierge | Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven is probably my favorite, but some of you have heard of it already. |
| Storme the Cat | Demetri Martin's Palindrome is pretty good |
| TheEgghead27 | im writing this entire conversation down in my list of SoS theories as a potential easter egg |
| Brokemia | I do remember hearing that poem recently, Clocko, but I can't place where |
| TheEgghead27 | and i just remembered where ive seen antigonish |
| Clockwork Concierge | Possibly on a tropical island... |
| Brokemia | Oh that's right |
| Clockwork Concierge | Care to share where that was, Brokemia? |
| Clockwork Concierge | I believe the movie Identity featured it. |
| Brokemia | You were correct about the tropical island. I decided to finally go see the last cabinet rant, because Lonk was also looking for it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Apologies, I meant TheEggHead for Antigonish. It is a good one regardless of the spook. |

Thierry shared a fragment of Headmaster Moraine's, then unpublished, artwork that contains his shoes. The Headmaster did not appreciate this.
Headmaster Moraine reacts to Thierry posting an image of his shoes.
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Thierry | Heyo mooncradlers |
| Thierry | I'm bored, anyone wants to see Moraine's shoes? |
| Ramu | uh, sure? |
| Thierry | It's ok to say no |
| Ramu | it's fine, but it's also unexpected |
| Apple | why not |
| Thierry | hmmm |
| Thierry | So shoe hype definitely below 9000 |
| Thierry | Interesting |
| Apple | naah |
| Apple | +9000 |
| Shinji Hiryu | "Seriously, how often do you really look at a man's shoes?" -Red |
| Somie | SORRY WHAT |
| Somie | I want shoes |
| Somie | moraines shoes |
| PsychoPewPew | SHOES? 
|
| Thierry | lol |
| Storme the Cat | Are you just testing us, Thierry? |
| Thierry | I would never do that |
| Storme the Cat | "Will anything get these guys excited?" he thinks |
| Thierry | Phil's a data-miner so I usually just go to him for strategies |
| Thierry | But he's got nothing on shoes |
| Thierry | It's unkown territory as far as hype is concerned |
| Somie | not even the messenger has anything on dem shoes |
| Storme the Cat | The Messenger had shoes as a whole item, what're you talking about? |
| Thierry | So I'm not teasing, I just won't share if it's not interesting |
| Thierry | Sure Messenger had shoe gameplay |
| Thierry | But whether a community can be hyped for a shoe reveal is a whole other thing |
| Storme the Cat | I am actually interested. We barely have any idea what the Headmaster looks likeause.. shoes???? |
| Apple | y e s |
| Thierry | Of course that may or may not also depend on who picks up on it really meaning a reveal of the bottom 10% of his character sketch |
| Storme the Cat | Exactly |
| PsychoPewPew | Dr House taught me shoes are quite telling about the person who wears them it was about women specifically in that case, but that should apply always |
| Thierry | So I'm taking notes |
| Thierry | No hype for shoes |
| Thierry | "What I love about my job is I'm constantly learning" |
| Thierry | Alright so, I'm still bored for the next 30 seconds |
| Thierry | Want to see his shoes or not? |
| PsychoPewPew | Yes. |
| Brokemia | Yes |
| Storme the Cat | Yes! |
| Ramu | yes |
| Storme the Cat | Show us the feet |
| Thierry | Behold, Moraine's shoes
|
| Somie | Whooooa |
| Brokemia | Pointy shoes |
| Somie | I like it |
| Storme the Cat | Aw yeah! |
| Headmaster Moraine | Delete this. |

The Clockwork Concierge briefly complained about spam. Later that day, Thierry started a Coffee Break stream, "a mix of unknown games, known games, and random chatting and rambling." After the said stream, the Clockwork Concierge showed appreciation towards Kyleberry, who gifted multiple Twitch subscriptions to the viewers.

Phil showed appreciation towards community members who supported Sabotage during Thierry's Coffee Break stream, and presented potential designs for Sabotage's merch. The Clockwork Concierge appeared to ask about the materials used and, later that day, welcome a new member.
The Clockwork Concierge asks whether the leather used for the merch is vegan.

| Philip | The objective is to do a limited edition collection, and use them as give aways for the stream, sell a couple online, bring a couple to tradeshows, give some to the team. We won't make any profit of these items. |

| Clockwork Concierge | Testing. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Beautiful! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Good morning, ThatDJ. If you must know I was promoted to Chief Hype Officer! |
| ThaDJ | Congratz |
| ThaDJ | Sounds like a great job |
| Clockwork Concierge | I am afraid typos are still very likley however... |
| ThaDJ | (also you typod my name) |
| StarHawk | It’s okay, typos happen to all of us |
| ThaDJ | it does |
| ThaDJ | especially to me |
| ThaDJ | i dont mind |
| Clockwork Concierge | For my first task as CHO of Sabotage, I have two things to announce. |
| Clockwork Concierge | First, I would recommend taking a look at announcements in case you haven't, for today's stream will be an exciting one indeed! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I have been told that as a bonus treat to live viewers, a teaser of Garl's theme will be played. I must say it is my favorite music track thus far. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Secondly, I am happy to confirm that the ARG will be returning in 2021, and may or may not have to do with pirates! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I also saw a note about a snowball fight between Sun and Moon Solstice Warriors, but surely it must have been a mistake... |
| Moka | Well clocko you have succeded in your job |

After seeing the daily Solstice Warrior forces breakdown from Headmaster Moraine, the Clockwork Concierge came to conclusion that something should be done about the rivalry between Sun and Moon Solstice Warriors. After evaluating the possible options, he announced that "the first step of the ARG's return will happen next week."
The Clockwork Concierge reacts to the Solstice Warrior Headcount.

After receiving a letter from Phil, Clockwork Concierge called for Kammesennin to discuss his performance as a Community Manager. An argument broke out and Kammesennin resigned. The Clockwork Concierge realized his mistake and, following a short negotiation, Kammesennin was assigned a role of the Lead Moderator, while the position of the Community Manager was granted to SaboMath, a newly-hired member of Sabotage Studio.
The Clockwork Concierge asks the community to ping Kammesennin.
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | Would someone be so kind as to ping Kamme for me? |
| Langosta | @Kammesennin |
| Kammesennin | Hmm? |
| Kammesennin | Oh |
| Kammesennin | Oh my this isn't formal... let me fix my name |
| [Kammesennin sets his nickname back to normal] | |
| Kammesennin | What can I do for you, Concierge? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Thought I supposed any interaction is technically the same as pinging Kamme? |
| Kammesennin | 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | To the matter at hand, then! |
| Kammesennin | Yes, quickly as I'm rather busy keeping my eyes peeled to all of these other active ch--.... you know what take your time
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I received a letter from Phil about stonks, or rather the lack thereof. |
| Kammesennin |   ?
|
| Clockwork Concierge | After perusing the relevant documentation, it seems we are doing enough in terms of marketing and social media. |
| Kammesennin | So then  ?
|
| Clockwork Concierge | After perusing the relevant documentation, it seems we are doing enough in terms of marketing and social media. |
| TheEgghead27 | mic broken? |
| Kammesennin | Hmmm.... I think Concierge is stuttering or something. Like a broken record. |
| Kammesennin | Let's get an adjustment made here... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh what terrible timing! [note: the Clockwork Concierge posted this message in plain text instead of a text box] |
| Kammesennin | Oops! |
| Kammesennin | I probably shouldn't have touched that... |
| Clockwork Concierge | How about now? |
| Kammesennin | Ahha! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Marvelous! So, as I was saying... |
| Clockwork Concierge | After perusing the relevant documentation, it seems we are doing enough in terms of marketing and social media. |
| Clockwork Concierge | That was a joke, please do not attempt to fix me again. |
| Kammesennin |
|
| Kammesennin | Wait so then?! This is a rollercoaster!
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Now about them stonks, it was my understanding that a Community Manager should be making extensive use of social media platforms such as the gram, and partake in marketing strategies. |
| Clockwork Concierge | What are your thoughts on this? |
| Kammesennin | Yeah you mentioned something about a gram previously. I can weigh anything and tell you how many grams it is. Also something about some kind of book filled with mugshots or something that you wanted me to read. Never found that stuff, I think you were supposed to add channels in here during the terraforming we did before. And marketing strategies? You know ads are illegal in my house! |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| Clockwork Concierge | The Community Manager should be handling these things! How do you propose we resolve this? |
| Kammesennin | Well Concierge... We could always go back in time to the part where you should have told me about these great expectations! |
| Clockwork Concierge | You know as well as I do that time travel is for organics only! The Community Manager has to handle these things, now, what will it be, Kamme? |
| Kammesennin | Well if that's the way it is, and without any clear explanation too.... |
| Kammesennin | I guess you leave me no choice |
| Kammesennin | It was really nice knowing everyone |
| Kammesennin | But I quit |
| Langosta | What a twist! |
| Stéphanie | Wait- |
| ThaDJ | For real |
| ThaDJ | ? |
| Kammesennin | I just can't work under these kinds of expectations of handling things I don't know anything about. It's over. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oof... |
| Stéphanie | Guys they're breaking up |
| Stéphanie | I can't believe it |
| Hamster | 
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Ahem... well I... sort of wish I hadn't told Phil I could handle yearly reviews... |
| Langosta |
|
| NWWolf |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Please press F for Kamme... |
| Clockwork Concierge | F |
| NWWolf | F |
| ThaDJ | F |
| Hamster | F |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, what to do, what to do... |
| Clockwork Concierge | This is unacceptable, we can not lose Kamme! Please send him a DM so we can at least finish this conversation |
| Langosta | Okay who's doing it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Everyone should! |
| Hamster | Lets do this people! As the glorious Solstice Warriors, lets bring Kamme back home! |
| Stéphanie | I messaged him |
| Stéphanie | All I did was do the thing |
| Langosta | He's back on |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ahem, oh hi Kamme... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Listen, about earlier... |
| Clockwork Concierge | We really can not afford to lose you as an admin or mod, and seeing you leave like that really made me realise that friends are more important than stonks. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Is there any way we can figure this out? |
| Kammesennin | Where there's a will, there's a way I suppose. |
| Kammesennin | What do you have in mind? |
| Clockwork Concierge |
|
| Kammesennin | I can't help but keep an ear open for a friend even after a heated exchange |
| Clockwork Concierge | I am ready to defer the extra responsibilities incumbent upon the Community Manager onto to someone else. Is there a role you would still care to fulfill for us? |
| Kammesennin | Well I think the best I can really do is lead mod. |
| Kammesennin | Discord is all I truly know |
| Clockwork Concierge | Lead Mod? My, isn't that precisely what you have been doing all along anyways? |
| Kammesennin | Well actually yes it was until you griped about other platforms |
| Clockwork Concierge | Ah yes, the legendary beef from 20 minutes ago... |
| Clockwork Concierge | My apologies. |
| Clockwork Concierge | So it shall be! Please welcome our Lead Moderator Kamme! |
| Kammesennin | I get to do what I always dreamed of doing |
| Stéphanie | Wait- |
| Stéphanie | You do what in your sleep |
| Kammesennin | Moderate the server. |
| Kammesennin | I'm here almost literally 24/7. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh no, now we don't have a Community Manager... |
| Kammesennin | It's like I like this place or something |
| Kammesennin | Oh no you're right! |
| Clockwork Concierge | If only there happened to be a new Saboteam member without a role yet... |
| Langosta | ? dunno hasnt talked cant see the roles
|
| Kammesennin | I think there may just be one, Concierge. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Sabocomo is our QA Manager, this will not do at all! |
| NWWolf | I'd say SaboMath then |
| Langosta | Oh ok he already had a role |
| ThaDJ | SaboMath doesnt have a role yet |
| Clockwork Concierge | SaboMath? I don't believe we have met. Are you there SaboMath? |
| Langosta | He just changed is pfp to mugshot |
| Kammesennin | Maybe you guys should ping him |
| SaboMath |
|
| Stéphanie | @SaboMath just in case |
| Clockwork Concierge | Why, hello there, might I ask you a couple questions? |
| Stéphanie | it's not everyday that I get to ping someone from the Sabo crew so I'll just take the opportunity |
| SaboMath | Hi, nice to meet you! I can take a couple questions yeah |
| Clockwork Concierge | On a scale of no to yes, how much do you know about marketing? |
| SaboMath | 11 |
| SaboMath | Hmm.. I mean "yes" |
| Clockwork Concierge | Great! By the powers given to me as Chief Hype Officer, I name you Community Manager! Please congratulate SaboMath on acing the interview! |
| Somie | Congrats!!!!!! |
| ThaDJ | Congratz 
|
| Pyrignos | Well congrats! :D |
| JustDenys1 | Congrats!!!!! |
| Deleted User | Congrats! |
| Langosta |
|
| SaboMath | Woah, that was the hardest interview I've ever done. |
| SaboMath | Well, if the community can accept me, it will be an honor
|
| Kammesennin | Fantastic job on the interview! Couldn't have done better myself! |
| Philip | Congrats! |
| Thierry |
|
| Philip |
|
| Somie | This community will accept anyone, you’ll fit right in |

|
| SaboMath |
|
| SaboMath | So happy that @Kammesennin will still be there to support me tho. |
| Kammesennin | I'm always here to do everything I can! |
| Kammesennin | Thanks for taking over weighing things in grams, and reading that mugshot book. I couldn't handle that kind of pressure. I just swings my sword at evil. |
| SaboMath | Wait.. I have to do that gram thing?! |
| Kammesennin | Idk, Concierge wasn't very specific. I'm sure he'll yell at you later about it. |
| NWWolf | well numbers shouldn't be too hard for someone named Math 
|
| SaboMath | Yeah, I know some people thought I was the new accounting guy at first |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| Clockwork Concierge | It seems I forgot a small detail. |
| SaboMath | What's up? |
| SaboMath | Thought I nailed the interview? |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh great, SaboMath is stil here! |
| SaboMath | Of course, I won't leave so quick |
| Clockwork Concierge | You did great, but I forgot to ask the second question. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Are you ready to answer it now? It's even easier than the first one, just a formality. |
| SaboMath | I guess I can take one more |
| Clockwork Concierge | Perfect, here it is! |
| Kammesennin |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Are you an absolute nerd who has played most if not all video games that would be considered relevant to anyone wanting to join its industry. |
| Somie | This is an important question |
| Kammesennin | Yeah that's actually a really good one. |
| SaboMath | Uh oh |
| Clockwork Concierge | Uh oh |
| SaboMath | I mean, I've played some games |
| ThaDJ | I mean The Messenger is really the only relevant one |
| SaboMath | Yup, played that one, The Messenger! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh this is awkward, and to think I already gave him the title... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Come to think of it, this might be a great opportunity for our community to share... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Here me, members, I need your vote! |
| Somie | I’m here for it |
| Clockwork Concierge | The correct answer was I'm hear for it. |
| Kammesennin | Hear* |
| Clockwork Concierge | But I digress. Let us settle this matter as a community. |
| ThaDJ | Im hear for it |
| Clockwork Concierge | Should we A - fire SaboMath on the basis of not having played enough games. |
| SaboMath |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Or B - commit to sharing our favorite titles with him so he can understand and connect with the experiences that stuck with us? |
| TheEgghead27 |

| Langosta |
|
| NWWolf | 
|
| ThaDJ |
|
| Somie | B |
| Kammesennin | 
|
| Somie |
|
| Langosta | 
|
| SaboMath |
|
| Kammesennin | I mean if he's going to be community manager, this is probably a good idea for him and the community to get to know one another and start off on a very good foot. |
| Clockwork Concierge | It is settled then! Let us all make it a habit to discuss our favorite games so SaboMath can play them! |
| Kammesennin | |
| Clockwork Concierge | I trust you all with this task ❤ |
| SaboMath | Wow, that would be awesome |

The Clockwork Concierge briefly talked about his day, revealed that it's always morning in the Clockwork Castle, announced the date of his next appearance and that the community is once again able to ping the "ARG" discord role.
The Clockwork Concierge sends an ellipsis.

| Clockwork Concierge | ... |
| JustKostya | Clocko! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Good morning JustKostya1! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I hope your day is going better than mine. |
| JustKostya | It's night |
| Shardan | What timezone does Mr. Clockwork live in |
| JustKostya | But what happened with your day clocko? |
| Clockwork Concierge | It is a little known fact that it is always morning here at the Clockwork Castle! |
| Shardan | the looore! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, just a small matter of mutually exclusive absolutes colliding... |
| SaboJLux |
|
| Clockwork Concierge | But as it seems like a poor time to notify the ARG gang, I suppose I should try to figure it out on my own. |
| Clockwork Concierge | For those who are available at 1PM EST Tomorrow, however, I might require aid then. |
| Clockwork Concierge | The ARG role should now be pingable. I trust you all yo use it responsibly. |
January 22, 2021[]
In order to organize the Solstice Tournament, an event that would bring the Solstice Warriors together, the Clockwork Concierge had to enter Mooncradle but a promise he made to the Archivist forbade him from revealing himself to Headmaster Moraine. A plan was created, the Solstice Warriors would get a box of XXXXXXL clothes from the Headmaster and The Clockwork Concierge would take on a different identity. To get the clothes, the community had to answer three question from the Headmaster. As the answer to the second question was hidden away in the #dev text channel, a place where only the backers above a certain tier have access, only two questions were answered correctly. After the pop quiz, the community was presented with a choice, they could either get the box of XXXXXXL clothes or a painting of the Headmaster that would reveal his appearance. A vote was held, and the former item was chosen. Dressed in the newly acquired garments and under a new name, the Clockwork Concierge entered Mooncradle, presented his announcing skills to the Headmaster and gained a permission to organize the Solstice Tournament.
The Clockwork Concierge comments on the amount of people signing up for the ARG notifications.
| #announcements | |
|---|---|
| Thierry | @everyone We have been preparing the ARG for a while now and are excited to launch it today. Moving forward we won't be notifying everyone anymore, so make sure you dm @Clockwork Concierge the "!argin" command if you want to subscribe to @ARG notifications pertaining to the ARG!! A bit more structure for this second season, where we will clearly define the beginning and end of each session to avoid confusion between banter and meaningful beats. The first Chapter is fairly short, and should get resolved in a single sessions if played right. Chapter 1: Clockwork Conundrum starts in about one hour. If you care to participate, simply embrace the role play, collaborate, have fun, and remember that the community's choices and actions do impact the potential outcomes, opportunities and reveals! |

| Clockwork Concierge | I see FectoFactor13 is one of these. Filter Updated. |
| Claymore729 | that's not ominous at all, Clocko |
| FectoFactor13 | Dang called out |
| Viperiish | Fecto is one of what?? |
| FectoFactor13 | Balls if I know |
The Headmaster expects a usual day.
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Headmaster Moraine | What a lovely day, I suppose nothing of note will take place, as usual. |

| Thierry | @ARG Session begins in 5 minutes for Chapter 1 : Clockwork Conundrum
|
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | This situation is quite unacceptable! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, what to do… |
| Clockwork Concierge | Two promises, to think I must break one of them... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, good morning everyone! |
| Kplus8 | Morning |
| TheEgghead27 | hi clocko |
| Passion | Good morning! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Might I share my troubles with you? |
| Kplus8 | Of course |
| Claymore729 | Always |
| Resident Ace | Of course |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please settle down at your earliest convenience. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Now, I am afraid I find myself in quite the conundrum... |
| Clockwork Concierge | You see, I made two promises to The Archivist a long time ago... |
| Clockwork Concierge | And it seems I now find myself in a situation where I can not honor one without breaking the other... |
| Clockwork Concierge | On the one hand, I must ensure peace and cooperation between all Solstice Warriors, which would demand I hold a tournament in which all can participate in the spirit of friendly competition. |
| Clockwork Concierge | HOWEVER |
| Clockwork Concierge | As you may know, Headmaster Moraine is not aware of anything outside of his own time period... |
| Clockwork Concierge | This leads us to this problem. I am not allowed to cause a time paradox, but I also absolutely must enter Moncradle to prepare the tournament... |
| Moka | What if you tell us what to do? |
| Gooberbarbarian | NOMINATE HIM? |
| Burgs | Maybe you can go in disguise, clocko |
| Clockwork Concierge | If only there was a way for to go in unnoticed... |
| TheCometKid | yo who has a invisibility spell |
| Clockwork Concierge | Excuse me, Burgs, what do you mean? |
| TheEgghead27 | put a fake mustache on your real mustache |
| JustDenys1 | Get the robes |
| Clockwork Concierge | ... a disguise... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Analyzing, please wait... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Disguise has a seventy percent chance of producing the desired outcome. |
| Meadow | SEVENTY PERCENT BABY |
| Gamehunter590 | What's the other 30 |
| Claymore729 | Seventy percent is good odds to me. |
| Brokemia | I like those odds |
| Clockwork Concierge | Attention all Solstice Warriors!! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I need you to fetch me some clothes from Mooncradle directly, to ensure Headmaster Moraine does not notice me. |
| Clockwork Concierge | Please convince him to provide a box of XXXXXXL clothes at your earlies convenience. I shall wait here. |
| BraveOkami | Alright team, lets get that xxxxxxl clothes then! |
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Papy | quick! grab some clothes! |
| Claymore729 | Excuse me! Headmaster! |
| TheEgghead27 | oh no something of note is happening here |
| Zeusbrine | WE NEED CLOTHES |
| Headmaster Moraine | Excuse me? |
| Headmaster Moraine | Why, hello dear students, may I be of assistance? |
| Papy | Headmaster Moraine! we need some really big clothes for a uh, really big student coming in |
| Meadow | we got a very very very big solstice warrior. he needs big clothes. |
| Meadow | like absolute unit |
| Headmaster Moraine | XXXXXXL clothes? |
| Headmaster Moraine | I believe I do happen to have a box in my office, but it would not do for me to simply give it away. |
| Claymore729 | What can we do for you? |
| Somie | what do you want us to do? |
| TheCometKid | I have a soul to sell, does that work?? |
| Soleil | We're desperate and will probably do anything. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Have you been studying? If you can answer a few questions properly I will consider it. |
| Papy | QUIZ TIME |
| Claymore729 | Yes, Headmaster! |
| Resident Ace | It's been a while |
| Headmaster Moraine | Class is in session, then. React with voteTri right now if you want to make yourself available to answer questions. |
| |
| Headmaster Moraine | You are all free to discuss, but I will only accept a final answer from the selected student. |
| Kplus8 | Understood |
| Claymore729 | Understood, Headmaster. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Alright, first question is for TheEgghead27. |
| Claymore729 | You got this, @TheEgghead27 ! |
| Kyleberry | We stand with you, Egghead! |
| TheEgghead27 | oh hi |
| Headmaster Moraine | How do we call the creatures born from the Seeds of Evil? |
| Brokemia | Primals? |
| Somie | Primals? |
| Shardan | dwellers? |
| Eriks | Dwellers |
| JustDenys1 | Dwellers |
| KreuzKoenigin | Wasn't it World Eaters? |
| TheEgghead27 | im gonna go with dwellers |
| Soleil | "SEEING MY FAITH IN THE CHILDREN OF THE SOLSTICE, AND ACKNOWLEDGING THEIRPOTENTIAL TO FIGHT BACK, AEOPHORUL DEVISED A MOST WICKED PLAN. SEEDS OF EVIL, HIS NOTES READ, GIANT MONSTERS HE WOULD HIDE IN REMOTE PLACES, ALLOWING THEM TIME TO FEED ON LOCAL LIFE UNTIL THEY WERE READY TO EVOLVE INTO WORLD EATERS, SPELLING THE APOCALYPSE FOR ALL. I CALL THEM DWELLERS. " |
| Headmaster Moraine | TheEgghead27 says Dwellers. That is correct. |
| Meadow | YEAAAAAHHHHHH |
| Tayümé | Niiiiice. |
| TheEgghead27 | lets goo |
| Headmaster Moraine | Next one is for Papy. |
| Kyleberry | Let's go, Papy! |
| Papy |
|
| Headmaster Moraine | Mooncradle is renowned for its signature magical tree. How do we call it? |
| Papy | wait what the |
| Gooberbarbarian | Magical tree...? |
| Tayümé | Uhh |
| Boo McPun | The Tree™️ |
| Boo McPun | (sorry) |
| Somie | the celestial tree or something |
| FunnyShovelMan | Groot |
| Stamway | The tree of life? (nah thats dragon quest) |
| Headmaster Moraine | Papy is 'wait what the' your answer? |
| BraveOkami | Its something tree >< oof |
| FunnyShovelMan |
|
| Papy | nononononono |
| Passion | Yggdrasil? ~_~ [probably not] |
| Headmaster Moraine | 20 seconds left. |
| Gooberbarbarian | Has it been said before? |
| Shardan | was it in the demo? |
| Hamster | "The tree of Solstice" Will do, I suppose, Master. |
| TheEgghead27 | ohno |
| Dawn | PAPY |
| Papy | TREE OF PLEASE GIVE US MERCY |
| FunnyShovelMan | We are dead
|
| Tayümé | JUST GUESS |
| Somie | Celestial tree I'm going with |
| #general | |

| Headmaster Moraine | [deleted message] |
| Gooberbarbarian | Wrong channel 
|
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Smash78 | 20 seconds are up |
| Kplus8 | Celestial Willow |
| Stamway | why is the answer in #general ? |
| Gooberbarbarian | Celestial Willow!!! |
| Headmaster Moraine | The answer is Celestial Willow. |
| TheCometKid | no theres a cool down, he had a cooldown |
| Shardan | No one got it right! |
| Papy | hecc |
| Passion | Celestial Willow? First i've heard of it. |
| Ecnius |
|
| Smash78 | i've never heard of the celestial willow |
| Stéphanie | I WAS LOOKING IN OTHER CHANNELS I COULDNT FIND IT |
| Somie | I got one word right |
| Papy | and I was so excited to be the one answering
|
| Headmaster Moraine | Now, you can still win this, but there is hoping you had been paying attention. |
| Boo McPun | So yeeeeah emphasis on "don't waste your slowmode cooldown if you're the selected person" |
| Claymore729 | We won't fail again, Headmaster!
|
| Headmaster Moraine | This one is for Claymore729. |
| Resident Ace | You can do it claymore |
| Kplus8 | good luck |
| Headmaster Moraine | When completing their training, new recruits head out into the Mountain Trail to meet The Elder Mist, and learn how to do what? |
| Passion | .... cloudstep...? |
| Gigi | Commune with the stars? |
| Brokemia | Change the time of day perhaps? |
| Exempt-Medic | Use Solstice Magic? |
| Tayümé | Eclipse magic |
| Gooberbarbarian | Turn into balls of light and fly around the world...? |
| Merlo | Eclipse magic sounds about right |
| BraveOkami | Eclipse magic? |
| Passion | Oh, Eclipse Magic sounds like a good answer |
| Moka | Sun learn fireball and moon learn eclipse boomerang? |
| Claymore729 | New recruits meet The Elder Mist, and learn how to control the sun and moon through their respective Solstice magics. |
| Headmaster Moraine | I will accept this answer since you are all fairly new recruits, but I must stress the correct answer was 'how to use magic without using magic'. |
| Gooberbarbarian | Wut |
| Claymore729 | Understood, Headmaster. |
| Passion | You mean like... psychic power? |
| FunnyShovelMan | The point of magic is to use magic bro |
| Stéphanie | what does that even mean |
| TheCometKid | magic without using mana I assume? |
| Gooberbarbarian | Headmaster out here with them paradoxical riddles |
| Headmaster Moraine | And now for your reward. It is my understanding that you were looking for a box of XXXXXXL clothes. |
| Burgs | Yes, headmaster |
| Mat | Thank you Headmaster! Your students are most humbled by your generosity! |
| Papy | dang I feel bad for being the only one to get the answer wrong |
| KreuzKoenigin | Don't be Papy, it was a tough one |
| Headmaster Moraine | I have also heard rumors that a lot of you were curious as to my identity and appearance. It just also happens that a painting of me was done recently. |
| Passion | Can we see the painting? |
| Tayümé | We need to see it. |
| Sardek | on one hand, don't get distracted. On the other hand, PAINTING. |
| Chemosha | ooooh portrait |
| Claymore729 | Ooh, a painting? We'd be happy to see it! |
| Exempt-Medic | I just hope we learn the artist |
| Headmaster Moraine | I do not know why you need the clothes, and it would surely impede the progression of that mission in unpredictable ways, but if you are more curious about the painting I can provide it instead. |
| Resident Ace | Oh shoot |
| TheEgghead27 | oh no we have to choose? |
| Smash78 | no thanks |
| Mat | Forgive us Headmaster, we really need the clothes! |
| Burgs | No headmaster, we would prefer the clothes. Thank you. |
| Soleil | ARG ends, but at least we get a cool picture of a dude |
| Passion | We would love to see both, Headmaster, but we need the clothing more than we need to see you. We are a patient species, if nothing else. |
| Adamanti | I'd take the painting honestly, we can always use a bush |
| Headmaster Moraine | So, which will it be? voteTri for the clothes, or voteS for the painting. You have 5 minutes. |
| |
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Clockwork Concierge | How are things going over in Mooncradle? |
| Flit | Quite well! |
| Soleil | We're thinking about getting Moraine's portrait instead of the clothes. |
| Gooberbarbarian | We're getting your clothes in a few minutes, don't worry
|
| Clockwork Concierge | I was hoping you has not forgotten about me. |
| ThaDJ | We could never forget about you |
| #general | |
|---|---|
| Headmaster Moraine | I am back. |
| Gooberbarbarian | Hello Back I am Goober |
| Headmaster Moraine | Well, it seems you are all very adamant on getting a Box of XXXXXXL clothes. |
| Tayümé | Yes, we would very much like those. |
| Claymore729 | Yes, Headmaster. |
| Headmaster Moraine | You have certainly earned it, here you go! |
| Sparus42 | Thank you! |
| ThaDJ | Thank you Headmaster |
| #arg-updates | |

| Claymore729 | I ended up sweating bullets for a second there, Clocko, but we got them |
| Clockwork Concierge | :colosPog [note: this message was send in plain text] |
| Exempt-Medic | Now for the 70/30 gamble |
| Clockwork Concierge | My, it seems you truly did it! |
| Shardan | Try it out! We wanna see it! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Oh, this is... not what I was expecting... |
| Stamway | too small? |
| Somie | did we get one size too large? |
| Clockwork Concierge | I suppose it will have to do, just give me a moment. |
| Claymore729 | Prepare for comedy |
| Moka | Clockwork fashion show |
| [The Clockwork Concierge starts speaking in plain text] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | Yes, this fits nicely... |
| Stamway | an actual message instead of an image? |
| TheCometKid | GUYS HES SO DISGUISED HE CAN BLEND IN WITH US |
| Clockwork Concierge | This part is a bit weird for my single eye, but I suppose it might help... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Well, here goes nothing, surely they will be gentle once they see me... |
| Gooberbarbarian | Clocko needs a fake name and alias in case Moraine gets supicious
|
| [The Clockwork Concierge returns to speaking through his text boxes, but now he wears an orange beanie and a pair of ski goggles. His Discord name changed to "Definitely Not Clock" but was later corrected to "Definitely Not Clocko"] | |
| Clockwork Concierge | How do I look? |
| Frisk | aaaaaaaaaawwww |
| ThaDJ | Beautifu; |
| Tayümé | In-clock-nito. |
| Meadow | OH MY GOD |
| Chemosha | PERFECT |

| Clockwork Concierge | Blushes in Clockwork... |
| Clockwork Concierge | Why thank you everyone, it has certainly been a team effort! |
| SaboJLux | unrecognizable
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Now there's the simple matter of sneaking in. |
| Soleil | So the hat is detachable? |
| SaboMath | Can't wait to hit the slopes with Clocko |
| Clockwork Concierge | Here is our story, I am an announcer, renowned for announcing, and I am coming to Mooncradle to host a tournament which will bring Solstice Warriors together while giving them an outlet for the Sun vs Moon rivalry! |
| Burgs | Sounds like a plan! |
| LuckyDigit | yes perfect! |
| Sparus42 | Got it! |
| Clockwork Concierge | Do not worry, should The Headmaster choose to test me, I have already installed a wacky announcer module! |
| Clockwork Concierge | I feel this will work! Are you ready to sell the story? |
| Resident Ace | Absolutely |
| Flit | An announcer, renowned for announcing? That's perfect, Clocko, it has to work! |
| EmeraldAce99 | Let's do it
|
| Clockwork Concierge | Onwards then, I will enter Mooncradle on your mark! |
| #mooncradle | |
|---|---|
| Claymore729 | @Headmaster Moraine May I ask a question, sir? |
| Exempt-Medic | Our friend is an announcer, renowned for announcing, and he is coming here to host a tournament which will bring Solstice Warriors together while giving them an outlet for the Sun vs Moon rivalry |
| Gooberbarbarian | He is very good at announcing |
| Stéphanie | he's called joe sinclair the announcer |
| Boo McPun | I like how y'all announce the announcer announcing an announcement |
| Sardek | I'm sure his announcement will be BREATHTAKING |
| Headmaster Moraine | Pardon? |
| Headmaster Moraine | Why would we require an announcer? |
| Malmedian | for the tournament of course |
| TheEgghead27 | to announce things |
| Claymore729 | @Headmaster Moraine We were thinking that we should host a tournament to foster inter-School spirit. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Which tournament? |
| Tayümé | He will be announcing a Solstice Warrior tourney for the Sun v Moon rivalry. |
| Headmaster Moraine | Oh, about the rivalry... Yes, this might be acceptable... |
| Claymore729 | Well, we were going to ask for your blessing for -- yes, exactly |
| Headmaster Moraine | Well then, where is this announcer? |
The Clockwork Concierge leaves for Mooncradle.
