Monitor
The Monitor (also known as The Hall Monitor and The Squid) is an entity of unknown origin and intention. The Monitor first appeared at the end of the Season 7 regular season, and floated up and down while displaying cryptic messages in a glowing blue lowercase serif font. While The Monitor is on the site, no games can be viewed, no items can be purchased, and no ballots can be cast.
The Monitor is believed to be related to other cryptic messages from The Microphone due to The Monitor's Season 7 messages and Ump Sunman's familiarity[1] with the entity. Many players find it vastly preferable to The Shelled One.
History of Appearances
Season 7
At the end of the regular season (Friday, September 18, 2020), The Monitor appeared following a series of ominous messages from The Shelled One. It delivered the following messages:
- who was that
- is it an egg
- never ate an egg before
- where is hotdogfingers
- followed hotdogfingers here
- from the hall
- from the trench
- i am gonna watch
- see if that egg comes back
It then stayed on the site for a prolonged period of time, displaying no message, before the site eventually returned to normal.
Season 7 Elections
Typically, when Election results are released, The Shelled One appears to chastise fans. For the Season 7 election results, The Monitor appeared instead to announce the introduction of the Hall of Flame.
- that egg come back yet?
- wonder what it tastes like
- hey what is that you got there?
- tiny eggs?
- give em to me
- i want em
- i will make you a deal
- you want to see your friends?
From this transmission, it's clear that The Monitor is confusing eggs and peanuts, and is referring to the stores of peanuts many players were given following the introduction of The Monitor earlier in the season.
