THE METAPLOT (DUN DUN DUN) and Phoenix

wright_ideaSo I know there are a lot of people who do not follow me on Plurk, which is why it's kind of dunder-headed of me not to make an OOC post of this SOONER, but here goes:
Phoenix, compared to a lot of other people in the game ICly, is waist-deep in the metaplot. He tends to confront NPCs a lot, asks a lot of questions, and comes up with a lot of theories, most of which do not reach the main population since he's currently rather paranoid about making the situation in Ruby City much worse until he has enough clues put together to blow the story wide open. So obviously, unless you're very close to Phoenix ICly (or know how to manipulate him effectively or break in to his stuff), you're not going to get the complete picture out of him.
ICly, anyway.
However, as part of a way to keep track of things for myself, I've been running a "Notes" page on his personal journal for a good while now. This includes knowledge he allows to be public (which is probably consolidated with the other notes at the library at this point) and notes he does NOT allow in public (which is anything that heavily contests the current status quo). So as an OOC benefit to the rest of the game, I am linking his notes page here, and will continue allowing the page to be linked on the State of the City posts. I will be starting to keep "update notes" as well so that people checking in can see if he's put in anything new without scanning waaaaaay too much stuff.
As a note, though: in order to avoid making two nearly identical posts, there are a LOT of sections in the notes which are blacked out, as if redacted. These only require you to highlight with the cursor in order to read, but unless I have explicitly said your character has access to those parts, they are there for OOC reference only.
Also of note: yes, the old notes are part of the note page too. This is just to keep things together for ME. I am not attempting to plagiarize the work of the previous muns who took notes!
Anyway, I hope this helps. And if you want to try to get more of a foot in the door (for good or for bad), let me know and we can plan things out.
