1) Doctor Who is visiting Obernet because, due to unfortunate circumstances, he developed swine flu! Min and MK where having a tea party with him, when Min became sick and passed on the virus to Doctor Who. He has come to obernet to seek out the cheesecake cure!
Btaylahf
2) He has come here to try and get a restraining order against the fan girls, who are stalking him.
3) His tardis appeared in the red queens land! and he's come here to tell us that he met matthew, and that matthew is desperately trying to figure out a way for dragon to get there. The Doctor told matt that dragon is out of her coma, and so the doctor took matt back to obernewtyn, and now he's on a ship trying to get to the red queens land with elspeth!
1. He appeared in the Mystics Ball ‘08 and ‘09
elspethinnle
2. A lot of Obernetters are obsessed with the doctor, including most of the MoO’s.
3. Isobelle mentioned in her interview with the Obernetters in Sydney that she was planning to watch the new doctor who episodes because she’s going to the World Society of Fantasy and Science Fiction (It’s still relevant because Isobelle created the series )
4. The Tardis and Doctor Who escorted people around different locations in the Obernet RPG The Wanderers Wandering Banquet.
5. Stephen Seraphim is often referred to as ‘the Doctor’, as is Doctor Who.
6. The Doctor was also present at the Stone Key launch party. He was involved in bringing special guests to the rpg in his Tardis.
7. His face is hiding in between Maruman in Gahltha at the top of the site in the banner area. LOL
8. The Doctor Who thread is one of the most popular in the Library forum, currently with 1769 posts.
9. Obviously, he is part of the 10th Anniversary of Obernet
10. There is a Doctor Who thread in Sus Rid for people to RPG out characters.
11. He is mentioned in the Snedding Predictions thread, taking Isobelle Carmody into the world of Obernewtyn.
12. Was part of the ‘Guess the Misfit’ Fucntion, as he was mentioned in certain clues to find the culprit.
13. The Doctor Who thread came third in the results of the 50 fave threads poll.
14. He was part of the Big Brother RPG in the function hall.
Keep in mind this was all I could find considering I haven't seen Doctor Who. I have no idea to connect him to the Obernewtyn Chronicles. This might be a good time to start watching it...
1. The Doctor has been the one to take us places in the Wandies events
Arwen
2. He is friend with Galtha (across the top of the webpage he is in the circle)
3. We are a site full of fangirls: he's one of the subjects
4. In the Ober Chrons in the Beforetime there was a place called Scotia aka Scottland- one of the Doctors (David Tennant) comes from Scottland
5. We had a calendar entry last year of a Moonfairy- that was an angel from Blink
6. We have a thread for the Doctor in the Library
7. In Sus Rid there's a thread he plays a key part in
8. We don't know what happened to the Doctor in the Ober Chrons (Stephen Seraphim): he's The Doctor
9. The Doctor's a bit of a teknoguilder (he's got a sonic screwdriver)
The Doctor is a topic often discussed (almost daily) in The Library. He's here to inform us that he's very pleased he has his own thread.
Aoife
In Sus Rid, Gallifrey & Beyond: The World of the Doctor, the Doctor is upset that he's not allowed to be played, but flattered because it's because everyone would fight over him.
He hatched from one of Maz's eggs after the 2009 Dreamie Easter Egg Hunt, and he wants to know how anyone got him in an egg in the first place.
In Min's profile, she mentioned that she's a fan of his, so he's here to take her to get a bite to eat.
Some of these might not actually count, but these are some of the connections between Doctor Who and Obernewtyn Ch. / Obernet:
Kieran
The Library thread - there was an episode in Doctor Who called The Library;
The Doctor is currently next to the horse in the banner;
The Doctor has often appeared as members' icons and in their signitures (jossie's currently);
The Doctor can connect his mind with another person's to access memories, as some of the Misfits can - Elspeth is the best example; and
If The Doctor had tried and failed to stop the Weaponmachines (assuming the Doctor could get to the Land, which he probably can because it is suggested to be Earth's future), he may have used the pocket watch to hide as an human so that he would have a chance to survive and stop it in the future; therefore, The Doctor could be a Misfit. Its a crazy connection, but it kind of makes sense.
hello! i have some theories as to why the Doctor is here
Helena
The Doctor was visiting ober.net because he wanted to visit his second cousin three times removed, the Destroyer Pig… we know this because he left the gate open, accidentally letting her out…
The Doctor was the reason that the great white happened, he used his sonic screwdriver, on the B.O.T programme after posing as a person from maintenance with disastrous consequences…
The doctor was in the Land because he was behind the noise in the crevice in the silent vale- he stubbed his toe while trying to get a better look at his Tardis, which got stuck down in the crevice while he was visiting what used to be London, making the growling noise that Elspeth heard.
The doctor was in the Reichler clinic before it was destroyed because he left behind his sonic screwdriver, which is one of the pieces of twisted metal that the technoguilders dug up while clearing the caves.
1. Obernet has a thread in the library calle Doctor Who, where discussion about Doctor Who et al occur
Schis
1. He overhead a broadcast of the Obernewtyn Radio Station in which they talked about “The Master of Obernewtynâ€. Unfortunately, due to bad transmission, he missed the last two words and has come to destroy that most evil of timelords; “The Masterâ€. Don’t worry, he’ll remember that “The Master†is dead soon enough, and then things can go back to normal.
Sian
2. He mistook the recent pig infestation for an infestation of the pig-slaves found in the Doctor Who episode “Daleks in Manhattanâ€, and thinks the daleks are here, reeking havoc. Little does he know that the true mastermind was Dr. Satan!
3. He caught swine flu while in England visiting Sarah Jane Smith and has dropped by to pick up a peace of the Ashling’s Oberflu Cure cheesecake so that he can get rid of his sneazles.
4. He Googled himself using Google images and discovered a bunch of avatars and signatures relating to him and his adventures. Following them to their sources, he discovered that a sizeable proportion of them belong to the Obernetter. He is over the moon that someone would put him in their avatar at all and has dropped by to gift her with an autographed sonic screwdriver. Unfortunately the batteries are flat, *shrugs* I’m sure she won’t mind …
5. He Googled himself using Google images and found an image of his tenth incarnate between a cat and a horse. Following the link to the parent website, he discovered Obernewtyn.net and came here to investigate why on earth he would be hidden in such a banner.
6. His tenth incarnate (David Tennant) was suggested as a possible actor to play Jak in this thread; ~Link~. He’s here for his audition !
7. He changed his mind and decided that he really just can’t go on without Rose Tyler. As such, he scowered the internet looking for examples of inter-universal travel, looking for another way through the void. During his studies, he came across the Legendsong Saga. He has is hoping to find a way to be put in touch with Ronaall so as to interview him further on the subject of inter-universal travel to find another way through to Rose’s universe.
8. Of course, this is just his plan b. Now that it is abundantly clear that “Bad Wolf†is a signal that there are going to be Rose/Doctor interactions in the vicinity, he has begun searching and analysing all instances of wolves in existence in the hopes that he will discover that one of these wolfy examples is ‘bad’. Then Rose will have to turn up. Of course she will :nods:. Due to the many mentions of the brildane on this website, he has come to do some research here.
9. He Googled himself and came across this thread; ~Link~. He didn’t like the things people were saying about him and so he has come to give a talk about himself and correct them.
10. While reading ‘The Chronicles of Obernewtyn’, he noticed that Stephen Seraphim was often referred to as “The Doctorâ€. He feels that this is an infringement of his intellectual property rights over his name and has come to obernewtyn.net hoping that the MoOs can put him in touch with IC. He then hopes to negotiate a new title for Stephen, which will not compromise his legal rights. Since Rushton’s half brother seems to work exclusively with children, he wishes to recommend the name “The Paediatricianâ€.
11. Doctor Who is always around to save Planet Earth. It’s what he does. Whenever the planet is in trouble, he’s there to save it. The second great white would destroy the Earth, thus it would be unimaginable for him to just sit back and watch Elspeth and the destroyer battle it out. He just has to lend a hand! However, this battle is so critical that he can’t afford to stuff it up. So, he heads to the place with the most OberInfo all in one place; Obernewtyn.net. Honestly, I would’ve been surprised if he hadn’t shown up!
12. Actually, this isn’t the first time Doctor Who has been to Obernet. He was a big star in the wanderer’s event : Hijacking History: A Wander Through Time!. He had so much fun, that he’s come back to do it again!
13. Now that the master has been destroyed (and he has finally remembered the fact, see point one), Doctor Who has found himself in need of a new arch nemesis. Having observed the recent pig infestation, he has decided that Dr. Satan would be a perfect nemesis, able to wreak the havoc of several Daleks (see point two) single handedly. He has come here in order to meet with Dr. Satan and challenge our evil Dr. to a duel in order to determine once and for all, who is the greatest and most powerful Dr. of all time.
14. Doctor Who has recently discovered that he is quite famous on Earth (seems to be fairly obscure everywhere else - the Vashta Nerada had to look him up after all). To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how he’s managed to remain unaware of the fact for so long – probably wishful thinking, likes to believe that he goes by unnoticed, still I would have thought the long running TV series was a dead give away. Anyway, he has decided that he wants to find out as much as he possibly can about the planet’s view of him, which includes reading every book ever written about him. Unfortunately, he has been unable to find a copy of The Science of Doctor Who by Dr Duncan Steel. Noticing that Dark One wrote an entry on it in The Bookshelf (~Link~, he has come to Obernewtyn.net to speak with Dark One and ask to borrow said Obernetter’s copy.
15. As we all know, TimeLords are thought to be an extinct species, with Doctor Who being the only exception. So imagine his surprise when, whilst on yet another of his frequent Google image searches (really, what else does one do with all of eternity to waste and an unlimited broadband connection?), he discovered the signature of the Obernetter Kayt which contained an image of … TimeLord Kayt? With the possibility that the only other remaining individual of his species located here, how could he stay away?
16. In the Doctor Who episodes, “Silence in the Library†and “Forest of the Deadâ€, the planet’s satellite (Dr. Moon) watches over and has partial control over the goings on of the Library planet. Having noticed how well The Doctor did in these episodes, Maruman spoke to him via the dreamtrails and asked him to come help fight the evil that is the whiteface. Unfortunately, The TARDIS kept getting lost on its way to The Land, so he’s dropped into the website to ask for directions. He will to offer to take a few lucky obernetters as honorary companions for the voyage as Obernetters are far more informed about The Land than he.
17. Everyone knows that The Doctor despises slavery (See: The Romans, Fourth Story of the second season of the old doctors; Planet of the Ood, third episode, fourth series of the new doctors; The Long Game, episode 6, series one of the new doctors; and many others). As such, he is very concerned about the number of Obernewtyn.net members who have been ‘taken by slavers’. He has come to offer his services in rescuing them from the LotRQ
18. Obervision (see SusRid) is contesting Doctor Who’s timeslot on the abc and he’s come here to negotiate a peace treaty in this all out battle for television domination. He offers cheesecake and help setting up a live streaming site over the internet in exchange for our withdrawal.
19. He is feeling home sick for Galifrey and has dropped in so that he can participate in this sus rid thread (~Link~ and at least pretend to be at home.
20. The Doctor believes that the Destroyer Pig is a descendent of the pig in the space suit which crashed into Big Ben in the Episode “Aliens of Londonâ€. As we all know, the space suit pig’s brain was augmented for the hoax. At the time, he was unaware that there were any others. However, after discussions with Rushton (who he was speaking to in order to sort out the whole “The Master†problem, see point one) he has come to see that the shooting of the space suit pig did not mean the end of super-intelligent swine. Clearly more than one pig had its brain augmented and the other pigs’ descendents are still walking the. He has come to Obernewtyn.net in order to analyze the pig’s stability and ascertain whether or not it is safe to leave the thing on earth. Hopefully he will recognize the inherent evil of that most despicable swine, but somehow, I doubt it.
21. As can be seen in this interview ~Link~ (look at the part about Domick), Isobelle’s creative talent is not always under her complete and conscious control as her characters do things which she doesn’t expect/understand. In reading the interview, he found this to be oddly reminiscent of the symptoms inflicted on William Shakespeare by the Carrionites in the Doctor Who episode “The Shakespeare Codeâ€. He has come to visit and make sure that none of the Carrionites escaped the snow globe and that IC remains free of their evil influence. After all, we don’t want the world ending the moment The Sending is released, just before we get a chance to read it!
22. In the first chapter of Obernewtyn, Elspeth passes an obelisk with strange carvings. This is, in fact, the TARDIS! Having heard about all of our speculation over what the obelisk is, he has decided to drop by and enlighten us.
23. News of Elspeth’s super healing powers has spread like wild fire and rumors have even reached the ears of The Doctor. Not understanding the power of misfit minds, he has assumed that she is in possession of medical nano particles and has incarcerated Captain Jack within the TARDIS. He’s come to ask the MoOs about exactly what sort of space ambulance he sold, who he sold it to, and how much he got for it. He will find it difficult to believe that the captain is entirely innocent, but will eventually be convinced and release Jack into the care of MoOs.
24. As we all know, Isobelle Carmody is a futurteller and everything we find in the OberChrons is an accurate prediction of how the planet’s fate will be played out in the future. It is also common knowledge that IC has been rewriting some sections of the early novels. Unfortunately, this has created a paradox/wound in time and with the universe devoid of time lords, Earth is once again at risk of invasion by Reapers (see episode eight, series one of the new doctors). Doctor Who is here to oversea the transition of the new OberChron editions and to make sure that we don’t all get consumed by strange, multicellular, extra-dimensional time-bacteria.
25. Now that Matthew is aware that he can access the dream trails, he has been using them to call out for help in saving people from being sent to the pit whenever possible. The doctor has heard his pleas and has come to help, having realized that the guards in the LoTRQ are using a worm hole to transport the prisoners to the pit on planet chloris, where they are consumed by the creature within. The doctor has already freed the creature in a passed life, but the worm hole also sent the prisoners back in time. The Doctor will be unable to close the worm hole, but will alter its course so that it instead leads to the weapon machines, allowing the seeker to complete her quest without crossing the blacklands. This means both that the earth will be saved and she will get to go home to Rushton like we all (glares at Dameon supporters) want her to.
The Destroyer Pig has been using her own DNA and blanding it with defectives in order to create human-pig slaves, like the ones the Daleks made in episodes 4 and 5 of series 3: "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Dalecks". which will allow her to escape the pig pen whenever she needs, and track down the beforetime weaponmachines more easily (there is only so much a simple pig can do, right?) The Tardis has become aware that the old Daleck research has been opened, and so the Doctor has come to investigate, fearing another Dalek invasion, and never guessing that the truth is so much worse...

I hope that is enough detail
The tin can once belonged to an American oberneter who needed to come up with an easy way to make cash to buy IC's books directly from Australia. She set up a paypal account, and offered oberneters homemade, beaded penguin keychains in exchange for money, which she collected in the tin can. She kept a graph of the money collected on a virtual tin can on the site, to keep track. After she had her money, she forgot all about removing the can and read her new books (and sniffed the new book smell) instead.
Aoife
The Tin Can was the obernewtyn equivalent of Mary Poppins Magic Carpet Bag. No matter what the 'oldbie' wanted to store, it would be safely packaged and kept until the time of need. As an item was required all that was necessary was to speak its name and turn the tin can upside down.
classicquestion
There is an old tale that the 'oldbie' did not if fact leave obernewtyn. That what really happened is that one day she was changing the light bulb above her desk, accidentally overbalanced, placed one foot on the tin can sitting on the desk and got packaged up in storage. Unfortunately, as no one can remember what the 'oldbie' was called we have not been able to evaluate if this is fact or fiction.
CQ
The Olbie member kept the tin can because he was a huge fanboy of the destroyer pig and the can had contained destroyer pig food and had been licked clean by the pig leaving traces of saliva all over it. This fanboy was thrilled to be able to have a sample of destroyer pig saliva and hid the can away so he could keep it forever and possibly use the DNA to create more destroyer pigs later on.

Cheers deb
The tin can. The tin can did of course belong to a Dreamweaver. And what was this discarded piece of metal? It was a can of Whoop-[censored]. That’s right, Whoop-[censored]. And it happened to be from a Moonfair to be used to, as the title suggests whoop-[censored]. The Dreamweavers were once again competing for the Moonfair Cup. The former owner of this tin had been preparing the cans of Whoop-[censored], in preparations for the challenge we regularly come up against. For some bizarre and unfortunate reason these cans were unlabelled and other Dreamweavers had no knowledge what was in the cans. So one can imagine, with no date on them, they were thrown out, but this one somehow survived intact. And was opened… by the squirrels in the cupboard. What was possibly once a sock was most certainly a fluffy pink sock ‘borrowed’ from Captain Jack Harkness by an anonymous guildmember. Why it was hidden in the closet will remain a mystery, but sadly, the sock was mangled beyond recognition when the squirrels managed to open the can of Whoop-[censored]. It’s possible a Dreamweaver discovered, as the other tin cans were being tossed out what was in them and corrected the mistake in later years: we began labelling our cans. The squirrels of course are weary of all tin cans, especially unmarked ones, but if they even get the idea that there happens to be acorns inside, they won’t hesitate a moment longer. And that was the story of the tin can
Arwen
The tin can was found in a magical cave that only appears every 500 years. The drawings on the wall of the cave showed a mysterious pig, in an even more mysterious tutu, and a tin can. Beneath the cave drawings were the letters: "utut a sa live sa ylraen giP reyortseD." The tin can was then taken from the cave and is a sign that all tutus, no matter how pretty, are EVIL!!!
Meriymun
The tin can stems back to the pre-internet days... and was kept in a vain hope of finding a twin can, and some string to attach the two cans together, to provide communication on various Obernewtyn topics between interested people. The old member, known only as Tinny, used to sit, with his can next to his ear, hoping to hear firstly of the existence of another tin can, and secondly, that he would hear snippets of conversation concerning Obernewtyn. However, Tinny was unfortunately deaf, and neither of these dreams came true.
Schis
The Tin Can was hoarded away because tin cans are the ultimate defence against the destroyer pig. On occasions when said pig might be left unattended, one simply places the can in the pig’s pen before hand. The pig will inevitably step in said can and her trotter will become stuck. Then, when the pig is unattended, she will make a clangy noise wherever she goes, alerting naive innocents that the destroyer pig is approaching and probably up to no good. (Sian does not endorse getting the feet of animals, be they evil or not, caught in tin cans).
Sian
The oldbie member kept the can because they wanted to stay in touch with other members. They thought that the internet was too impersonal so they invented their tin can phone, attaching a string to it and connecting it to other modes of communication. Unfortunately, she wouldn't listen when other Obernetters told her it didn't work and was forever holding the can to her ear to hear another voice (The voices in her head were another compleytely different matter...)
Elspethinnle
The tin can is still lurking around Obernet because of its connection with its owner, as the tin is where she kept all of her awards and special avvies and sig pics and other mementos of Obernet. After a while, the tin (given its tendency to function like a TARDIS, in the sense that it's bigger on the inside) became so full that she could no longer lift it, and so it was left to languish in the shadows.
Zieria
The Destroyer Pig has covered the site in diamonds to distract all the Twilight fangirls (and boys), so that she will then be able to continue with her evil plan. She used diamonds because they sparkle just like Stephenie Meyer decided vampires do. Therefore, they will distract the fangirls/boys, who will search for the vampire causing the diamonds/sparkles, thereby leaving large sections of Ober.net unattended and unwatched.
blackbird
Blackbird.
The Destroyer Pig has sent the diamonds as presents - well actually indian gifts. It wants us to take them and be pleased with them, but when we are happy he will take them away with magically piggy powers, just to see us dissappointed. So they are actually to destroy our spirit; however, we must not give him the satisfaction - our spirit will not be broken.
Kieran
The destroyer pig set those diamonds on us because she robbed a bank when she escaped from our grasp and enjoyed rolling around in the diamonds for a while. However, after being chased by the police and worried that she can't continue her quest to resurrect the weaponmachines, she landed the diamonds on our lap and is framing the whole of Obernet for the robbery! That, and she was trying to get back at Rushton for never buying her anything *hint hint*.
elspethinnle
The Destroyer Pig is using the diamonds as part of an evil plot to DESTROY Ober.net. *far off an evil sort of cackle/oink can be heard echoing through the forums*
maz
The Destroyer Pig is going to use the diamonds that are strategically placed around the forums and following some key people on Ober.net to wipe them out by focussing a multi-directional, high-power, "LAS-ER" through them and thus erase all the code for Ober.net by frying the servers it is kept on.
The diamonds are really the Destroyer Pig's spies, they have been ordered to follow us round and report back to the Destroyer Pig. The diamonds are also secret weapons that triple in size when they come into contact with water. The Destroyer Pig is planning to unleash a thunderstom, causing the diamonds to grow and mesmorize everyone with their diamondness. While everyone is mesmerized the Destroyer Pig plans to take over Obernet, causing disaster, destruction and the occasional plot.
Meriymun
The destroyer pig has COVERED Obernet in crystals! Each and every one of the mini pink crystals, will break open, and out will pop little baby destroyer pigs. They are being bread for one purpose, to destroy the Obernet that we all love, and replace it with a pigsty of mud baths. They will also re-release the oberflu on all Obernet members!
Btaylahf
The baby pigs will take over all guilds, and replace them with Oink, Snort, Mud and Dirty. And the pigs will only accept members as evil as Dr Satan!! So beware, for they hatch on the full moon!
Diamonds are pure creations and many cultures believe that they can be used, when crafted into the right many-faceted shape, can hold the spirit, soul or power of an individual.
fey_bohemian
Obviously, the destroyer pig is attacking us in the hopes of imprisoning us within them!
NOOOOOOOO!
You are right to question why the diamonds, because right now so is the Destroyer Pig. She specifically ordered diabolically evil carrots, not diamonds: eight carats. She would have ordered the diabolically evil WMDs, but no one could find any. So now us and the Destroyer Pig are left sparkly and wondering why, but the difference is the Destroyer Pig is spending all her time on the phone to ACME's customer support line to complain and we're triyng to find a good jeweller.
Cat-eyes
They are the flying pigs cunning disguise! Once they are close enough to some one they will transform back into pigs and infect you. This is the destroyer pigs plan to make more people sick so even if we do find the cup we won't be able to attend the moonfair.
Theadora
The diamonds are Rushton's plan to soften up the attitudes of Min and Bec so he doesn't get ditched in the drink at the next RPG.Diamonds being an extra special Mystics award he figures that having them floating over everything will encourage more newbies to join the Mystics Guild, thereby getting on the good side of aforementioned ladies.

Cheers Deb
The Destryoer Pig has used the diamonds as a storehouse for powering her abilities, the more diamonds that are around the more of a boost she will get(bit like in Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder), she could farseek over the blacklands if she had enough of them.
Murph
Could back fire though because if it boosts her powers it will boosts Elspeths too
The diamonds could also be a new type of misfit fairys coming to join the Moon fair celebrations
The destroyer pig feels threatened by Rushton's relationship with Elspeth, thus she has come up with a plan to keep him forever; she plans to handfast him.
Sian
However, as Rushton is the Master of Obernewtyn, he is like a father figure to all the misfits (save Elspeth). The pig understands that bonding with Rushton would be joining a family and so she has offered her proposal not only to Rushton, but to all of us little misfits as well. Hence the diamonds following us about.
Reject the Jewels! Do you really want the destroyer pig for your step mother?
The destroyer pig is defintely responsible for the diamonds. She wants to propose to Rushton and this is all part of her plan. What's next you ask ... I'm afraid you would have to ask the pig herself. Simple messages in cobwebs seems to be so blase these days.
classicquestion
CQ
The Destroyer Pig decided to let diamonds shower Ober.netters, thinking that we would be foolish enough to try to sell them. She wanted to embarass us at the jewelers, for they are not truly diamonds! They are cubic zirconia! However, Ober.netters being the resilient people that we are, we have decided that "cubic zirconia are a girl's best friend!"
Aoife
That evil Destroyer pig is looking for his focusing diamond of his laser and just throwing the rest away. Sure, the occasional diamond to the head hurts a little and the piggy enjoys it immensely but it is nothing compared to the The Destroyer pigs plans!
Agyllian
Really, the diamond just throws some light around making his laser look impressive but the light effects sure do look cool ! And everyone knows evil people need cool looking stuff to earn them fear and loathing (not to mention the perks to earn from the Evil League of Evil...like a new fire/brooding place for his "master").
Agyllian of the Ashlings
1) Diamonds are used by the destoryer as bribs so that we will support him and not turn him in. Also so we will do alsmot anything to help him succeed in what ever he wants to do.
Dream Traveller
2) diamonds are precious and it makes the obernetters feel more special to have them given to them.
3) it confuses us from what the destroyer is really tryng to do.
3) it irritate us becasue he hates us for being so wonderful.
4)to get into our good books so that he can manipulate us to helping him.
5) it tease us about his wealth so he feels better about himself and more superior to us.
6) Diamonds are not really there we just think there are and they are really there to distract us so that he can get rid of us.
7) they can be used as a mesmorising tool to brain wash us so we will be complacent when he takes over and can't stop him.
they are a transforming weapon that has a command to change in ten days time it will stop us from thinking so we can used as an army.
9)DIamonds are there to keep us caming back for more as diamonds are pretty.
10) they are pink and as the DP is pink so he believes that makes the diamonds more wonderful cos we can't have them.
Dream Traveller
(I have a feeling if I do anymore on this topic I will repeat my self( My spell check has stopped working so excuse all spelling mistakes))
Arwen
The Destroyer Pig has done this for one main reason: because Rushton doesn't like sparkly things. That's right, Rushton doesn't like things which are clean and sparkly, so to make sure he doesn't like our beloved MoOs the Destroyer Pig has made them sparkly.
wraithking
the diamonds are information collectors from the destroyer pig, and will listen to what we aredoing and try to ruin everything you do.
oncethey have gotten al of the useful information they will turn into mini destroyer pigs and run around destroyingg everything while the desroyer pig laughes
Diamonds are shiny. Shiny things distract people...
smuppet
*absently gazes around at shininess*
Err and what has the destroyer pig done to enhance the inherent distracting capabilities of the diamonds. Made them float that's what. The only thing more distracting than shiny things are shiny things that defy gravity (or David Tennant, but I hear that one has been done ).
*goes back to looking at the floaty shiny things *
Then again they might actually be diemonds, similar to diamonds but with deadly side effects.
Destroyer Pig was trying to turn everyone into sparklepires whose skin is known to glitter like diamonds. Destroyer Pig then planned to use these sparklepires as her own personal army which she planned to use in her further schemes of world domination. She really needs to get done quickly before people discover she is an avid Twilight fan which would surely ruin her heartless evil sociopigthic reputation.

Ultimately, the diamond problem links back to the Oldtime song “U. C. In the Sky, With Diamondsâ€. Clearly, the Destroyer Pig’s initials are U. C. (standing for Uberta Crud ) and because U. C was in the sky, she decided to plague obernet with diamonds! They’re sharp and shiny and of a large enough quantity and value so as to instil terror upon all members, which is exactly what U. C wanted. To bring a rain (so to speak) of terror upon us and to consolidate her power.
so 8pm aest I know is vaguely sometime after I'll be at work, so instead of trying to remember to do it before work (at like 5am >_<) i thought I'd be smart and get this in now :P
*Covers eyes and types blindly*
So we all know that Ober.net is just one big Procrastinators Anonymous Convention- somehow no matter what needs doing – you find yourself on ober…
Why?
It’s the shiny things!
Invisible to the naked obernetter eye – but recently revealed by the destroyer pig in a moment of gloaty-ness – these are the shiny things that lurk behind those tempting side posts and those ‘quick checks’ that distract us from real life – thus FORCING us to procrastinate!!!
Avert your eyes dear obernetters, beware the destroyer pigs shiny things and his evil ploy to distract us into destruction!!
loving the 10days of obernet ;P nice work girls! hehe

I believe the Destroyer Pig is decorating the MoOs with diamonds for two reasons.
1. She is hoping to distract them with shininess. (This may work on Twilighters, but is unlikely to have an effect, as most fans of IC's books are wary of the use of shininess to disguise lack of plot.)
2. The diamonds are shiny tracking devices, intended to spy on the MoOs, as she's hoping to stay one step ahead of them.
3. (because I can't count :P) She's planning for the mystery of the diamonds to distract the MoOs from what she's REALLY doing. :nod:

hello! i think that the Destroyer Pig put the crystal-y doo-dads there because she wanted to make sure that our attention was diverted while she concentrated on the next part of her plan :nod:
obviously, the next part of her plan was the MoO's getting their names changed! 8-| darn that dastardly pig :P
thanks!

There is talk on the message boards of the locations of the weapon machines. The Destroyer wants to hack this information to find them. She/he stole the gems from the Mystics Cavern to scatter across the site. People have been searching across the site to return these gems back to the Mystics guild. With no guild points none of the Guilds will be able to win the Moonfair Cup. By covering the site with Gems, the Destroyer has directed traffic away from the Message Boards to let him/her access it without anyone knowing- activating the weapon machines, and destroying the Moonfair.

My suggestion to cure the 10fected issue is to convert the entire website to binary code.
eg "obernewtyn.net" actually becomes "0110111101100010011001010111001001101110011001010111011101110100011110010110111000101110011011100110010101110100"
People can go to http://www.nickciske.com/tools/binary.php to encode and decode messages to each other.
Thus the entire issue of the M10's is completely avoided, as one M10 will now be called
011011010110100101101110
while the other will be called
0100110101001011
Completely different. See? :D
Also this will utterly destroy the Destroyer's aim of irritation. No doubt she will quickly lose interest, and instead aim her prankster talents to another section of the site. Then BAM! While she is distracted, our MoOs can sleathily attack and take over their rightful ownership of their names once more, and increase security as needed against this dastardly plot.
Good luck! Or should I say, 011001110110111101101111011001000010000001101100011101010110001101101011 !!
Cheerio,
0011000100110000011001110111010101101100011011000110100101100001 :)

The solution to getting rid of the 10fection is to firstly, multiply by 10, divide by 20, negative 3, add 7, divide by 10, then multiply by 0. This of course leaves nothing, allowing the correct username to be restored.
maz
You could get Elspeth to coerce the profiles of the MoOs and undo the dil10a. Failing that you could aske her to coerce the Destroyer Pig to undo whatever it is she actually did to make them stuck. Final resort would be doing the same to her and making her the Des10yer P10... |:|

[act]has no idea if this will work or not[/act]
You could try creating XML user protocol files like it has an option for at the bottom of the settings page and alter the name through the XUP file instead of the settings page. :-/

Solutions 2: You could divide each of your names by 10, then minus 1.
Solution 2: You could invent a magical machine that shrinks you, jumbles up your particles, and then reforms you inside the computer! :D (You know, like they have in that Willy Wonka factory). Once inside the computer, you would have to infiltrate the Profile pages. (This shouldn’t be too hard as you MoOs probably know your way around the sight pretty well.) Once there, you must avoid the traps that the Destroyer Pig has inevitably put in place. If you manage to survive the multitude of death traps, you will have to spin around in a circle in a clockwise direction, tap your heels together three times, and say – ‘Could 10one please get the 10ing 10s out of my user-name?’ If this doesn’t work (which I suspect it might not), you will have to go with Plan B. For this plan, you should have made sure to bring a box full of negatively charged particles. You travel to the place where your Username is found, and release the negatively charged particles! :D With any luck, they should swarm around the 10s in your user-name (being attracted to any sort of number), and will devour the tens until there is nothing left. You should then urge the negatively charged particles back into the box (as they would cause a lot of trouble running free about the site). But be careful, because they can be a bit vicious after they’ve just eaten.
Repeat this until all of the 10s are gone.
Solution 3: Find the Destroyer Pig, and poke her until she agrees to change your names back. :D
As the 10fection seems to be an infection numerical in nature the solution can also be found in the wonderful world of numbers. Simply subtracting 10 from all the 10s will leave everyone with zero problems. As they say 'maths has all the angles', or err 'maths has all the cures for strange forum infesting diseases spawned from destroyer pigs and their dastardly plans'.

I'm sorry I don't have a solution but I'm sure if we hired the services of Dr.Satan ;) ;) the good doctor would gladly help out. I'm sure we must be all immune from the oberflu by now.

I think it is futile, and ultimately, that we just have to give in to the 10fection and learn to live with it.
If our MoO's have all been 10fected, what hope is there for any of us? I can't outsmart the destroyer. The only ploy i think may work would be because she has focused the attack on the higher powers, by all the lowly denizens changing their names to incorporate 10, she may get confused, and change back the MoO's and then we too can rid our names of the 10fection and all live happily forever and ever.
This, however is reality, and it is likely we willl all continue under the oppression of names afflicted with 10fection, until the destroyer pig decides she no longer wants to plague us anymore.
d10b
My cure would be to take it back to the good old binary code. Add a few more 1s and 0s and eventually it should bring up proper names again. :P
By changing the MoO’s names, the Destroyer Pig intends to confuse people to who is who. The number 10 is used to celebrate 10th year at obernet, for the Pig has been patient for a decade, to cause destruction. After ten years of thoughtful planning, and cunningness the Pig intends to change the MoO names to blend in and delete all posts on leading the Moonfair. This plan is unfortunately working- the Pig has the Cup, gems are spread across the site and now the MoO’s have had their names changed. The Moonfair might be destroyed- unless someone stops it!

The solution to the 10 problem is simple, leave some dreamweed out for the pig, and when it eats it, it will be so confused, that it won't even notice you changing your name back!
Sionainn
The 10fection is easily solved. All those who are infected have to do is divide by 0 and everything will return back to its impossible ridiculous self.
Zieria
The best way of outwitting the Destroyer pig is by adding 10s in everywhere all over the site, to distract her from the fact that you're changing your passwords to stop her mad hacking skillz! Or you could just use Rushton as bait to catch the Destroyer and make her fix it! [act]coughs[/act] Or not. :P Don't worry, I'm sure that someday I'll find my mind again...

How the Penguins and Rushton will capture the Destroyer Pig…
Rushton: Here my sweet darling! Come here to the Master of Obernewtyn!
Penguins: ::) [act]are laying out chunks of ice everywhere near where the Destroyer Pig was last seen[/act]
Penguins traps: [act]are set ready for one Pig to turn up and slide on the ice, getting caught in a net set up in front of Rushton, that smells rather fish like. Little does Rushton know though, when the Destroyer Pig is caught in the net, the other part of the balancing act that has set up the net holds a rather large jar of honey, which will unfortunately (and much to the delight of Min) poor honey all over Rushton, who will immediately go and comfort his darling Pig[/act]
Sionainn
The penguins, being full of security wise knowhow, convert Rushton into a sniffer dog so that they can use him to seek out his beloved Destroyer Pig.

In operation RUDP the penguins will work as a highly effective team to Round Up the Destroyer Pig. Rushton, having been assigned to their team, would ultimately prove to be the weakest link. However, the penguins are highly intelligent and know this is the case. They also know of his wavering loyalties. Therefore they will convince Rushton he is acting as part of the team but really he is just bait. They tell Rushton to go to the farms to look for the Destroyer Pig and report back when she has been spotted. Really they know that the Destoyer Pig won't be able to resist coming to see Rushton when she spies him alone.
Penguin 001 will fly the super-stealth plane and keep track of Rushton's location.
Penguin 002 will be in charge of spying the surrounding area from the plane and sounding the alarm when the Destroyer Pig is in sight.
Penguins 003 and 004 will be strategically placed hidden on the farms ready to move.
Penguins 005 and 006 will be ready to sky dive from the plane.
Penguins 008 and 009 will be blocking the exits to the farm.
Penuin 010 still has the flu so will remain behind as backup.
And what about Penguin 007 you ask? Well Penguin 007 is the most important part of the plan. Once the Destroyer Pig is found an surrounded Penguin 007 will move in. Penguin 007 is armed with a cannon loaded with hot chocca, cheesecake, mousse and tim tams. This mixture when it comes in contact with the Destroyer Pig will render her unconscious.
Operation RUDP cannot fail with Penguin 007 on the case! Well, not unless Rushton dive in front of the cannon to save the pig. But even he wouldn't be so stupid... surely...
Rilla
Rushton is needed to lure the Destroyer Pig out of hiding, because we all know that their (L) knows no boundaries. Once Rushton has beguiled it out (possibly by being yelled at by Elspeth, the Destroyer hates that girl), the security penguins will strike! They will surround the area so that the Pig can’t run away, and capture her before she can become even more of a nuisance. Voila! One caught Destroyer!
:) Rilla
Is the plan to use the penguins to heard the piggy towards Rushton, who will catch her and tame the Destroyer with love? This might make Elspeth jealous, but at least we would all be safe. Or will Rushton merely fill the pig with all the best chocco, Tim Tams, Cheesecake, and chocolate moosse (no Dark Side Cookies for her!) she can stand so that she is too full to do anything but act like a good little piggy and roll around in the mud?
Amashelle
The penguins will capture the destroyer pig by placing Rushton in a big pile of mud. Thereby signaling to the pig that he has accepted her love. As she trots happily over to him they will activate a security shield to stop her from escaping and teleport her to the seventh circle of hell where she will be infected by the oberflu and become the way for a new vaccine to be developed to put Dr.Satan out of business.
classicquestion
The penguins will help Rushton defeat the Destroyer Pig with "smoke and mirrors". One penguin will taunt the Destroyer Pig then run, when the DP chases after the penguin another will appear to lead it in another direction. More and more will show themselves to confound and disorientate the DP, much like the Casino scene in Sister Act. the penguins will keep running rings around the DP until it is dizzy and collapses. Rushton will pick it up and carry the Destroyer Pig away.
Kieran
How the penguins (and Rushton) will help capture the destroyer pig?
Schis
Clearly, the penguins will either:
a) lure the pig back to ice lair, by leaving a trail of slops that the destroyer pig is particularly fond of, and then trap her in an ice sarcophagus so that she can never escape, (except if the polar ice caps melt as a result of global warming... but let's worry about that later on...)
b) said penguins are actually zoo escapees, and thus, would lead the destroyer pig back to their enclosure, and upon noticing the pig in the "Penguin Ice Wonderland" they would transfer the pig to the "Pig Mudbath", leaving her to frolic happily amongst the mush happily
The penguins and Rushton will round up the destroyer pig by throwing a fake party. The pig will be unable to resist the opportunity to ruin people's high spirits and will decide to dump water balloons on top of all those in attendance. In the process, the pig will be so distracted by the havoc it is causing that it will not notice as it is surrounded by penguins and trapped between them. The penguins and Rushton will then return it to it's pen for the duration of our upcoming festivities.
Sian
rushton can stand out in an open clearing... while the pig walks towards him, the penguins can jump on it and attack it! they can then lock it up in a cell, with only a pic of rushy to comfort it!
Btaylahf
My idea on how Rushton and the Penguins will catch the pig: Rushton will set a trap of the Destroyer pigs favourite combination of food scraps drowned in gravy and leave it in a place the Destroyer pig is known to go. When the pig falls for the bait, the penguins will jump out of their previously agreed-to places and ambush the pig. While the pig is sufficiently distracted, Rushton will appear and tie the pig up.
Elspethinnle
I believe the penguins and Rushton will capture the Destroyer by utilising the penguins' skills. We all know that the Obernet penguins are multi-talented - I think they will find a way to to lull the Destroyer into a false sense of security, where she feels that she has won. The hope is that she will become overconfident and give away her location. Rushton will then use his indefinable allure (AKA the scent of mud ) to lure her out of hiding, and the penguins will pounce! Or dive. Or something else more penguiny..
Zieria
The penguins found the Destroyer Pig by re-enacting the honey scene from the last Mystics Ball using an Elspeth avitar to lure Rushton to the scene knowing that the pig would be jealous and turn up to try to change his mind. The ruse worked and as the pig hurried up to stop Rushie from saving Elf (not the real Elf of course) the penguines surrounded her and had her tied up in no time.
deb
I think Rushton and the penguins (who have taught the penguins from Madagascar everything they know), capture the Destroyer Pig by digging a giant pit with little plastic spoons in the maze, filling it with mud and honey and covering it with leaves and grass. They lure the pig in there and voila, she falls into the pit, thereby becoming stuck! Everyone rejoices as she is hauled out and locked away.
