I'm really sad to hear that someone messed with your plot. :( At least it was fantastic while it lasted! Unfortunately I seem to have missed out on at least 3 messages (quite possibly the ones not sent by you) so I'm rather confused. XD Thank you for taking so much time and effort to engage others. ^_^
Ugh........ I feel so bad for you/us now. That's just... messed up. I loved this idea.... it was brilliant and I'm sorry someone came in and just globbed it all up. You did a fantastic job though... I was really into it and genuinely concerned about how it was going to go after this! That's hard to achieve in something like that. You made Lumi interesting and I thank you. I hope you can at least enjoy the rest of the holiday.
I just read back posts... sorry to hear someone jumped on your storyline and ruined it for you. It was a lot of fun and I know it was a lot of work. Wishing you a lovely rest of the season. You have excellent writing skills. ^_^

I was already wondering about the different messages. What a shame, but thank you very very much for the great story:(
Intricately Carved Artifact This is your first time opening this, so these items are now in your inventory!

My Friend, I thank both you and your companions for your help in deciphering the code. Normally I would not dream of contacting so soon following my last message. However, it has come to my attention that some third and possible forth party is currently running interference. Our group is not responsible for second ciphers or mysterious items with cryptic messages about knowing what to do. Neither do I believe any of our actual opposition have contacted you with alarming propaganda. Whoever is behind this is certainly assisting them by clouding the air with more mysteries. As for myself I have found evidence that the group I am tracking is ancient and has only in the past few days made their movements known. I discovered a piece of what I believe they are using to locate and eliminate unicorns on the outskirts of the polar ice fields. I have sent it to you for safekeeping as I am no longer sure i I can completely trust all of my own men. I will be heading into the fields alone when I finish penning this note. I know of the dangers but I can't risk leaving them to their own devices. I am not sure when I will be able to contact you again, my mission will be undoubtedly dangerous. Stay strong my friend. Captain Horace Evergrove The United Unicorn Defense Squadron
I'm a little sad to learn that this was ruined for the original unicorn defense anon
I logged on this afternoon and found a gift with the code and a follow up message to that one.
I must say, whoever is doing this put a lot of work into this whole thing! Thank you!
that's really a shame that someone decided to ruin your plot. :c on the other hand you had done a brilliant job at creating that story, i loved it!

It was just starting to get good. :(
Seriously, whoever sent out the other notes is kind of a jerk. I get that you want to get in on the fun, but inserting yourself into the story and changing it in such a major way is not cool. :|

Aw, it's over? :( That's a shame, it was really awesome while it lasted.
Thank you very much for doing this whole amazing thing though, ! I'm really sorry someone had to go and mess it up for you. :C

well crap we've gotta help that poor captain
I'm really sorry to hear that the extra stuff threw things off for you :( Thank you for giving us the fun that you did, though! I had a blast :D
Thank you for all the fun. Sorry someone had to ruin it for you and the rest. Happy Lumi ❤
thank you for the plot, and the pinklicorns. :) thanks for choosing to involve all of us, not to mention the cost. i'm sorry someone messed it up, did wonder why some of the messages were sounding disjointed though.
you made this holiday an absolute blast. getting the first message and gift was cool enough but an ongoing plot well written and well thought out was more than i thought we'd get. the kind of level of dedication, imagination and work few people take things to, let alone as fun and for the entertainment of a lot of people expecting nothing in return. thanks for taking the time to explain and not just vanishing on us and thanks for the fun, i would've liked to know how it ended.
i can't say i normally like unicorns, but i'll be keeping the pinklicorns and i even bought a bowcorn, an item i didn't know existed before this. was a lot of fun hearing from the captain as well, going to miss that. :)
thanks for making it a memorable luminaire. waiting for updates and news from the captain has been a real highlight of my life for the last few days.
I got a couple new ones too!
Clearly this is the most interesting thing going on on the site right now.. Otherwise Lumiaire seems really blah to me atm.
I'm so sorry to hear that someone ruined the fun, it was such an interesting mini-plot and I was looking forward to each new message. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us, I really enjoyed it. ❤️
Wow - I got the very first message about this days ago, and just thought it was someone I knew (someone very creative) that was having a bit of fun. I had NO idea this whole thing was going on here on the forums. Guess I need to go join the group. lol

<p>Now, I say to you, do you trust any of them? Two parties, both of whom seem to discredit the other, without presenting substantial claims?</p>
<p>The United Unicorn Defense Squadron, whose benevolent Captain seems to be unable to give you information on the anti-unicorn group he fights against. Is this a simple case of waiting until he has a stronger case to present, or is he withholding information from you on purpose?</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is UNICORN (United Citizens Opposed to the Raunchy and New Species) spreads outlandish propaganda you could have sworn was ripped off the pages of a conspiracy theory website. What kind of charm would the strange Rev. A. Woo have, to be able to garner supporters, if he had any? Is it collective delusion, or is it deliberate misinformation?</p>
<p>You have the power to decide, and choose who to trust. Remain vigilant -- fight for the truth, and nothing but the truth, for it lies in your hands.</p>
<p>There is, however, one thing I can tell you. Unicorns, may have after all, been narwhals.</p>
<p>-v.
i'm sorry to hear that. i had a lot of fun with this, and i was eager to log in every day just to see what new update there was from the captain. thank you so much for doing this, and i hope you have a wonderful holiday season. ❤️
