Hey again! FireBeam here, this time with some chilling news! I actually met with the mysterious facchione (a.k.a. the Whyville Ghost)!

It all started after the Y-mail Helpers meeting. We discussed the Newbie Center, and how to get more helpers in there. (I would normally go on about the meeting, but I expect there should already be another article about that.)

Afterward, I decided to go down to that Newbie Center that was the "center" of attention at the meeting (LoL, okay, bad joke). As soon as I got there, who should show up but FACCHIONE! Don't believe me? Take a look at this!



I was chilled, stunned, horrified, mortified, stupefied, and a bit curious! As you can see, I had just discovered facchione in the NC (Newbie Center) and facchione actually admitted who it was!

During my interview with him, I gained this information from facchione:

Now, there were rumors that facchione was actually City Worker Mark. Well, we can put this rumor to rest: Facchione admitted that Mark only SOMETIMES uses that account (and that it was actually Mark that I was talking to). Now, as for the fact/rumor that facchione and mark share the same house -- that's misleading. If you look at MY city records, it says I have a house at New Town 2, but I actually don't have a plot at all! I am just a guest in that house! So facchione is simply a guest in mark's house. Also, the reason that facchione wasn't accepting mail was that Mark was using new programs. Facchione should be accepting mail now.

Later, I gathered this information from Deriko:

Facchione was actually the fourth person to join Whyville, right after City Worker jen, City Worker mark and former Whyville helper titus! Also, facchione DOES have the ability to disappear on Whyville, and facchione has City Worker "powers", but facchione is not labeled as a City Worker.

Facchione became known as a ghost for the mischief of getting into people's address books, surprising people by talking about what they just said in whispers, and for popping up in the Greek Theater and writing "Is there a ghost in Whyville?" on the screen.

Well, I'd like to buy a vowel... on second thought, I'd like to solve the puzzle?!

Here is what I think the conclusion we can make about facchione is:

Facchione is an alter ego that the City Workers use to go about Whyville under "non-CW" guise, and that (even though not shown as a CW) facchione can use City Worker "powers" because a City Worker is always operating him. Now, why do I say this? One simple clue (call me silly, but I think this clue says more than the mystery itself): When facchione came in, the first thing he said was "hey", and then I said "If it isn't the famous Whyville ghost!" and as you can see, there's the response in the picture. What does that have to do with anything? Well, why would he say that, if he weren't disguising himself as a "non-CW"?

One more thing, sorry to all of those who liked having mystery in Whyville, but there are many other mysteries here, other than ghosts! Have you read the article "Shark Attack!!" by Hermionez? Or how about the time we all became potato heads? Or maybe the time we all became invisible? There are more mysteries in Whyville than you think....

This is FireBeam, going back to the Newbie Center!
*taps with cool new pen/mouse* (heehee)
