AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT series final scene 13x05 "Curtain"

"Words really can't express how much that obsessive, kindly, gentle man with his mincing walk, his 'little grey cells' and his extraordinary accent had come to mean to me. To lose him now, after so long, was like losing the dearest of friends, even though I was only an actor playing a part." - David Suchet, Poirot and Me

ISAT's script is finished!

With this page, one year and nearly three months after it began, we're officially concluding ISAT's script. It's done. (Hopefully) every single ounce of text to be found on ISAT has been dutifully transcribed and put up for your reading pleasure.

Is this the end of the ISAT Script Project?

In short: No!

In long: Not for a while yet. We've still got START AGAIN: a prologue left to cover, and there's been interest at looking at In Stars and Time DEMO as well, since that features some exclusive scenes that may be interesting to all.

In addition to that, Gold has been looking into whether we can make the site bilingual, and also host the japanese script! Newcomer to the squad LunarDusk has been hammering out the search engine you've all been waiting for, and I no longer have any excuse to put off my fantranslation of ISAT into german. (Though that wouldn't be on this website, exactly.)

So you're stuck with us a little longer! Just a moment longer, a second longer... Hehe.

Thank you, everyone, for all your love and support in this project!

It cannot be understated how motivating it was (and is) to know how the fandom has come to love this project. Just seeing stray screenshots of it, seeing fanworks quote obscure game text en-masse, and to know we've helped you love this wonderful game even more by picking it apart, warms my heart.

This is, statisically speaking, the most impactful thing I have ever made, in my life.

And now, it's perhaps time for me to stop hogging the spotlight and let the other wonderful folks without whom I wouldn't have gotten this far speak:

From @goldstargloww (aka: Gold), who is responsible for the site looking as pretty as it does:

this has been really fun :D! i love that despite my social anxiety i'm somehow fine dming random people on the internet asking them questions, because that's exactly what i did here, and it's gotten me involved in some really cool projects :> i've learned a lot coding-wise and i've been able to make things i'm proud of and it's overall just been really fun. i love seeing the script project in the wild it's so fun, i love being part of projects that help a lot of people and make them happy, this is also probably the most impactful thing i've done in my life and it's been really fun and i've learned a lot :D

From @onenightbreak (aka: Wren), who is responsible for many wonderful beautiful pages:

ISAT defeated!!! the other folks on the script project have been lovely to work with, and i've had a lot of fun crawling through isat and contributing to the project! skill acquired: it student now knows how to use git XD i have to agree with feli and gold, seeing the script in the wild and knowing how widespread it is for the fandom is crazy, and it's been amazing being part of this <3

Many thanks also to @candycoatedrox (aka: Molly) who made a huge chunk of pages alongside Wren, and without whom this all would've taken much longer than it did. And thanks to Vixia Raine, for catching so many typos and random mistakes. Just. So many.

Selling Gold for Cash: How to Spot Scams and Protect Yourself

Got some gold jewellery gathering dust in your drawer? You're not alone. With gold prices hitting new highs, many Indians are considering trading their treasured but unused pieces for cash. But wait - before you head to the nearest jeweller, you need to know how to spot potential scams. Selling gold for cash has its risks, especially if you're new to the process.

The Gold Market and Selling Gold for Cash in India

Gold holds a special place in Indian culture - it's more than jewellery; it's tradition and financial security. When you decide to sell gold, knowing current market rates becomes your first line of defence. Gold prices fluctuate daily, sometimes hourly. Check trusted financial websites or banking apps for up-to-date rates.

I remember my aunt who decided to sell her wedding bangles last year. She walked into the first shop she saw and nearly accepted an offer 15% below market value. A phone call to my cousin saved her thousands of rupees.

Watch Out for These Tricks

The Weighing Game

"Your gold looks heavy, but my scale shows only 18 grams."

Does this sound familiar? Some dishonest buyers use tampered scales or weigh your gold with other materials still attached. They might even use heavy base plates that reduce the displayed weight.

Ask to see certification for their weighing equipment. Honest gold buyers in Chandigarh, Mohali, or any major city use government-stamped scales and weigh items in plain sight.

Purity Problems

Gold comes in different karats - 24K being the purest. Many Indian families own 22K gold jewellery, which contains about 91.6% pure gold.

Tricky buyers might tell you your 22K gold is actually 18K without proper testing. This instantly cuts your payout by 15-20%.

Good old gold buyers use proper testing methods - acid tests for small businesses or electronic testers for larger establishments. Ask to watch the testing process.

Rush Tactics

"Gold rates are dropping tomorrow!" "This offer is only good for the next hour!"

These pressure statements aim to rush your decision. Gold rates do change, but legitimate buyers don't use scare tactics.

Take your time. Sleep on big decisions. Good buyers respect your need to think.

Protecting Yourself When You Sell Gold Jewelry

Know Your Gold's Worth

Before you start searching "sell gold near me" on Google, calculate what your gold is actually worth:

Check today's gold rate per gram in your city. Weigh your pieces (most mobile phones have weighing apps that give rough estimates). Factor in your gold's karat - 22K gold is valued differently than 18K.

This gives you a starting point for negotiations.

My neighbour recently sold his wife's gold chain. By knowing its approximate value beforehand, he negotiated a fair price 8% higher than the buyer's initial offer.

Verify the Buyer

In India, legitimate gold buyers must have a proper business registration. Look for established shops with fixed locations. Ask for their GST details if you're selling significant amounts.

Check Google reviews or ask neighbours about their experiences. Community knowledge remains powerful in our country.

Bring a Friend or Family Member

Take someone with you when you sell gold. Having another person present makes most scammers think twice and gives you someone to discuss offers with.

My father always says, "Four eyes see better than two." This simple step prevents many common scams.

Get Paperwork

Always get a proper bill that includes the following:

The exact weight of your gold

Purity rating

Per gram rate offered

Total amount paid

Shop's complete details

Keep this safe. It matters if questions arise later.

When to Walk Away

Trust your gut. If something feels wrong or the buyer seems shady, leave. Red flags include:

Drastically low offers compared to other shops

Hiding the testing or weighing process

Pushing you to decide quickly

Refusing to provide proper bills

Your financial safety matters more than quick cash.

Make Smart Choices

Selling gold for cash doesn't have to be risky when you know what to watch for. By checking current rates, understanding how gold is tested, and choosing trusted buyers, you can ensure a fair deal.

I’ve been working my way through vampire novels of the African diaspora and posting mini reviews on twitter. I wanted to read more diverse representations of vampires after watching AMC’s Interview with the Vampire and what really stands out is how few I can find- while 2 of these have been published just this year 1 was first published in 1819 and as you can see there’s only a handful. Of the ones I’ve read, my favorites are Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma and House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson.

Today was a weird, uncomfortable day, so I'm consoling myself in the best way: with a Tumblr poll about my favorite Tolkien family—

*Tolkien wrote of the foundation of the Stewardship:

The Kings of Gondor had no doubt had “stewards” from an early time, but these were only minor officials ... He [Húrin of Emyn Arnen] was evidently the chief officer under the crown, prime counsellor of the King, and at appointment endowed with the right to assume vice-regal status [note: that is, the status of a viceroy or regent granted the powers and responsibilities of the king in his absence], and assist in determining the choice of heir to the throne, if this became vacant in his time. These functions all of his descendants inherited.

**Except the very elderly, obviously—but otherwise, every described Dúnadan of Gondor has dark or black hair (Boromir's is dark and longish by his death, while Faramir's is black and likely longer). Nearly all described Southern Dúnedain have grey eyes as well, including Boromir, Faramir, their uncle Imrahil, random soldiers, Rangers, messengers, etc, while Denethor has dark, glowing eyes (the color unknown). The members of the House of the Stewards, specifically including Boromir, also have enough of Elros's blood to inherit his beardlessness.

(None of the women of the Southern Dúnedain are described as anything except vaguely beautiful, but there's no reason to suppose the appearances of Elros's female descendants are more variable than the male ones, and Tolkien did say in NOME that Númenórean men and women were more physically similar to each other than usual.)
