Yes! Doing the royal handwave and such!

That looks quite different to my hand ‘wave’ 😉

Especially if @ZakPhoenixMcKracken appeals his trial.

I call to the witness stand… Mr. Fox!  
Mr. Fox, did Mr. Gilbert ever confess openly to “sucking at math”?

Yes, he did. Multiple times.

Mr. Fox, who wrote the story of TWP?

Ron and Gary did.

Thank you, no further questions. I’d like to call Mr. Winnick to the stand.  
Mr. Winnick, who drew that clock?

Well… Octavi did, but the kid is innocent. It was Mark who made the original wireframe!

Mark? Who is this Mark you are referring to?

Mark Ferrari.

Objection, your honor! Mark Ferrari is only a myth and not a real person.

Mr. Winnick, who came up with the idea to include a hotel in the game?  
Let it be noted for the record that Mr. Winnick is pointing at Mr. Gilbert.  
Thank you, Mr. Winnick. Finally, I call Mr. Gilbert to the witness stand.  
Mr. Gilbert, would you say that reading the exact time requires some notions about numbers?

Yes, I would.

And would you say that numbers are a key ingredient of maths?

Yes they are.

Mr. Gilbert, could you find the correct answer to a mathematical problem as “express the uncertainty of the rotary speed of a clock dial when it is viewed at an angle of 15 degrees”?

No, I suck at math.

OK, can you answer this? If it is 4 o’clock in the afternoon and 300 seconds pass: what time is it?

Somewhere between 4 and 5, I guess?

Mr. Gilbert, have you or haven’t you led a double life as a fictive person named “Mark Ferrari” during the last 2 years?

I call for the sixth amendment and want to remain silent.

That is the fifth amendment, Mr. Gilbert, so overruled!  
Mr. Gilbert, do you have anything more to say?

The icon art is NOT FINAL!!

I had to restrain myself to not point this out, I thought I’ve already stressed her enough with those fountains 🙂

The question is: Can we trust someone judging such important game when this person can’t even read a clock? 😛

I just can’t tell you how much this made me laugh. Luckily I started reading it just after finishing my coffee. 🤣
