April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberLate on this but that game is called "Mystery of the druids" and if anyone wants a good watch take a look for the retsupurae series on it. It is a fucking hilariously terrible game lol

MemberI would like to emphasize just how much you are underselling how convoluted this puzzle was. It involved, among other things: stealing the man's empty flask, running back to Scotland Yard, drinking the Ethanol yourself, using a coworkers scarf that you should have returned weeks ago to clean off the dust from the chemical bottles so you could read the already readable labels, and dusting for fingerprints to be sure that the Ethanol bottle was the one that you drank from.
I would also like to emphasize that all of this was Plan A for making a phone call!
AND THE PLAYER CHARACTER HAS A PHONE IN HIS OFFICE!!!
