Yes, but who said the wiki was accurate or coherent? tongue
And there's one specific thing that needs to be said.

So go and watch it or wait and wait tongue.

Some other day then?

1. Samantha Morton
2. Code 46
3. Well, according to the plot summary in Wikipedia, the ending would appear to be: Maria finally finalizes her dream about meeting someone on the last subway stop (which is William). As for the key thing... being suspected for forging insurance covers (and thus meeting William)? Being caught for having sex with her clone-mother's son (and thus ending up where she is in the ending)?

Too bad it's another half-half answer tongue.
2 is correct. 3, not entirely. So, 3 is just going to have to stand until someone gets it right and not just wiki-ing it tongue.

1 is right, 2 is not. So you all can just take the right answer on 1 as the first hint.
And I'll add a question:

3) Describe the ending, and the key thing that made it end that way.

Unfortunately for all of you who have gotten so used to enlarged images, I'm going back to the original concept:

1) Who is it on the picture?
2) Where is the picture from?

Generally, if no one answered within 24 hours, they're not going to.
So that goes for posting the first hint and any subsequent hint, I'd say.
Waiting a week would be way too long, people would lose interest.

[big]Brownie Recipe[/big]
(I currently have 3 different ones. I have decided I like this one best)

[death]Ingredients:[/death]

- 1 egg
- 2-3 heaped tablespoons of kwark
- sugar to taste (i.e. as much as you like. I'd say 1.5 to 2 mugs if you really have no idea because you never baked anything, shame on you)
- dash of salt (leaving it out is not an option)
- some vanilla sugar or liquid vanilla essence (3 drops or so)
- flower (undefined quantity, but I suspect one mug. Yes mug, not cup. The kind you like to drink hot chocolate out of)
- What I suspect is about 100-200 grams of butter, depends a bit on your tastes.
- 2 squirts of lemon juice
- almond shavings
- 4 heaped tablespoons of cocoa powder

Now, we come to the kwark conundrum. We Dutch people eat loads of it, but I have never seen it in other countries (no, cottage cheese is not the same, even though many people and various dictionaries will tell you so). I suggest either finding Dutch kwark, or using greek yoghurt or any other kind of thicker yoghurt instead. It doesn't taste -that- different.

After you add the flower, it shouldn't be a tough dough. It should still be a bit more like cake batter, but somewhat firm. It should take a bit of effort to stir your spoon through it. The kwark (possibly yoghurt) is supposed to make it a bit thinner again after you add it as the last ingredient. Thin enough to pour it out into the bowl, but not runny like a liquid.


[death]Instructions:[/death]

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Take out a square or round low oven bowl thing, should be about 20 centimeters across. Put some butter or bakingpaper in to keep the brownie from sticking to the bowl.

Put the butter in a small pan/pot and let it melt (don't let it fizzle or go brown) on the stove (low flame). Add the cocoa powder to the butter and stir it in well. Remove from stove.
While the butter melts (or before), put the suger, vanilla sugar, salt, and egg into a mixing bowl.
After removing the butter and cocoa mixture from the stove, add it to the sugar, and stir it all with a spoon.
Add the lemon juice and stir that through too.
Now add the flour and stir that through until it's very well mixed (no lumps).
Then add the kwark (or yoghurt) and mix it in well too.

Pour it into the bowl, and sprinkle some almond shavings on top.

Put it into the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

(The almonds are entirely optional. You could remove them entirely. Or also add chunks of them through the batter as well as sprinkling the shavings on top. It would also be possible to make this with molten dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder)

**Will put up a picture next time I make it.

I think I'm free this Saturday, so that's a yes.

For me, a factor is also that RP in URU is such a blurry affair.
Loads of people are just OOC, we have only one chatchannel, and then there's a big group who play IC and OOC at the same time, hard to follow.
Also a lot of players who say they like RPing and play pretty much IC all the time, but then when I see them writing on IC boards and read chatlogs, it looks to me like they have never even heard of basic separation of OOC and IC, and they seem unable, for example, to react IC through their char to the DRC. They keep mixing up reacting to the DRC with reacting to Cyan the company, and restricting their IC actions because they say Cyan won't do this-or-that or can't do this-or-that anyway.

I've kept from joining up to RP with them because I can't play that way: you can do something completely IC, and they jump all over you OOC because they don't like what you do, mixing up what you did with all kinds of OOC things.

Edit: So meanwhile, I just follow the story on my own and RP things silently with my char. Not that unfitting anyway, since I play myself and I'd be mostly going it alone anyway if I kept to that very strictly.

I'm still in, but I don't think the rest is.

Do you already know about the IC URU Live forums?
There are also other people running stories in there. If you're looking for somewhat larger groups. I haven't gotten involved so far.

Monday   Tuesday           Wednesday   Thursday   Friday   Saturday       Sunday
any         After 18:00       After 18:00    any           any      Impossible     any


I prefer the Sunday (because it's not in the evening and I'll be more alert). But I could do most weekdays, possibly only in the evening, but mostly I'm free. No Saturdays.

There's a discussion going about this one over at the Adellion forums as well (going a bit offtopic towards the end). I replied there.

I don't think I have anything planned for Saturday, and I'll make sure to keep it empty.

So Saturday is fine.
