Scientists 'undiscover' South Pacific island



Quote:
An international scientific expedition has revealed a South Pacific island roughly the size of Manhattan and clearly marked on online maps and marine charts does not, in fact, exist.

(there is no island here....There is nothing to see here... you want to go back and report that there is no island here.....)



Perhaps those meddling kids won't bother me any more.


Now I will have time to implement phase 2 of my plan.....

Nooo.. Only amateurs want to take over the world. I want the world to continue just as it it.... With each country continuing to think they are truly in charge of themselves.

The first rule of keeping slaves is not letting them know they are slaves in the first place.

The nightmare corpse-island of Sand'y…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great C'thulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.

Nobody has found all the 'Easter Eggs' as it stands!


There's some I'm not even sure made it in or if other Dev's did some and never spoke of.


I know of a few I never spoke of even at the Lair.

Hmmmm..............


Should we imply from that link that Platapus is a misnomer for Platypus so that we mere Humans don't exterminate the Dimension hopping creatures?
I mean they are just all wrong! Maybe even inbreds gone wonkie?
Is there a demand to be PC for those vile creatures that SEEM to make Islands appear and disappear on whim?

There was a thread dedicated to them a while ago IIRC but I don't recall what was and what wasn't found....heck, some didn't find the sea forts.
