Thanks for joining us once again, and we’ll be back for more next month!

But we chose our favorites from the outliers, and they are pretty great. I love the nods to the character himself and the game he comes from. You Hidden Agenda players are some clever folks, and I enjoyed reading through your captions. So here are the top four, for your consideration.

Have you played the Hidden Agenda Beta on Facebook lately? If you have, thanks! Now get back there and keep playing.

If you haven’t, wha-huh? Green County needs you! Get on the case to solve the murder of local official Albus Puckerwhip. New mysteries and new characters continue to be revealed.

Meet Zotkin the grumpy goat and help him figure out who is destroying his garden. Is someone trying to send him a message?

Get to know Constance Verity, local character, yoga instructor and unicorn. Is she as “zen” as she wants you to believe?

There’s arson, smuggling, thievery and, for my money, the most terrifying video game character in the history of video games, Sister Eloise!

Play Hidden Agenda today! Have fun, help Green County and save me from my unquiet dreams.

Hidden Agenda players will probably recognize this eco-conscious frog as Skip, the tireless crusader for a good cause who isn’t afraid to get his webbed feet dirty! What do you think is transpiring here between Skip and his avian server?

Submit your caption in the comments below, then come back Friday to vote on the finalists!

Hear, oh people, the warnings of Kuhu:

Be not out past the downing of the sun, and stay off my roof!

Glory is given, glory is taken. All who receive shall remain in the database!

Fear not the lopsided eyes of the Old Old Suit-Man … but fear his many approaching forms!

Kuhu learned email: KuhuSpeaks@PopCap.com!

Hear oh people, the joyfulness of Kuhu:

There, too, are many forms of worms. Among them, the shiniest are the i!

The lion will lie down with the lamb, and then the lion will get up and frolic in the meadows. And the lion will not calm down! And the lamb shall seek refuge and shout, “I should’ve stayed home!”

Joy comes in many forms, much like the Old Old Suit-Man… but its greatest form is a sandwich!

Hear, oh people, the future memories of Kuhu:

In the Year of the Singing Salamander, it was either that, or the Year of the Digital Swan!

And on the day they solved the crime, the County called Green was exposed. All who called this land “County” discovered the hidden truth, nestled beside the hidden feather: it is a Town!

And surrounding that Town, Canada!

Verily, all games shall exist, and some shall cease. The adventure hath existed even as the adventure was yet unknown. And the adventure was flowers and diamonds and words!

I just bought a huge soup pot!

Blog Ride Editor’s Note: Want to know what the future holds for you? Ask him at KuhuSpeaks@PopCap.com. Kuhu shall speak again.
