Yes mdg posts over there from time to time, but he hasn't been active here in months either. I would have thought if the Harvest Ritual post was debunkable, he would have just logged in and debunked it with his usual level of efficiency - if they are making all these subtle gyrations in various corners of the internet, of course they are watching Twoism and WATMM as well while all that's going on, we might not have a lot to talk about right now, but I'm sure that we haven't been forgotten.ScienceGuy wrote:I think I read somewhere a while ago that Joyrex' BoC source is the same as ours, mdg. If he's been 'told' something, then he must have PM'd him and gotten an answer.
And the increased online activity is nice to see. While it doesn't necessarily mean they're close to releasing something, it does mean that they've warmed up to the idea of positively acknowledging all the love they get online now that TH is out of their system. And while I think they are making progress towards a release, I don't think its nearly as imminent as some people around here seem to believe. I'd expect something relatively soon, but not super soon. Say, mid 2017.
If he had logged in and said it was nonsense and we were chasing our own tails, we'd take him at his word like we always have. If anyone likes to say no more than often than my wife, it's probably mdg. If he did that, and then 2 or 3 months later, something called Harvest Ritual was released, then that level of trust would be shot. I know we are a nuisance and his occasional presence here is probably looked at as a necessary evil on their part, but I think when interacting with their fanbase is involved, maintaining a level of integrity is important to them and to him. So I take radio silence as a good sign at this point.
After the April Fools incident several years back I get the impression that even though WATMM is still kind of the old boys club when it comes to older Warp artists and the like, BoC doesn't have a close relationship with them at this point - not that they ever did really, but there hasn't been anything like the Geogaddi video contest over there since then. Twoism got preference during the run up to TH as well. Anyways...
Now it seems that Joyrex will do some of his own detective work but rather than show his work, he will act cryptic about it. It's just the same sort of stuff that goes on over here but with more secrecy and less excitement. That's completely his business to carry on like that, but I don't think he's being personally clued into any special information, he's just doing the same digging that we are and being vague about how he sussed it out.
