MitD VI: The Undiscovered Creature (Please Read the First Post)

Section 4c: (Not) Seeing the Gates

Spoiler

Show

MitD's inability to "see" the gates is felt by several participants to be a "clue" about MitD (rather than the alternative possibility, Rule of Funny). However, no explanation that ties MitD's species to the gates has been forthcoming, except when contemplating the idea of MitD being part of the Snarl.

I just noticed from this:

The Gates

85b A High Turnover Career|Panel 8: Xykon says MitD whines a lot
95 Dead Men Tell Tales| Panel 3: Redcloak says MitD is attracting more demon-roaches
96 Gate? What Gate?|MitD can't see/doesn't recognize as gate/instantly forgets ginormous gate.
97 Evil Plans|Joining in a hearty evil villain laugh.[/table]

that the jokes about MitD not seeing the gates started before Rich knew what the MitD was. Doesn't that mean that it can't be a clue?

I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by someone before, but it wasn't in the first post and I can't remember that it has been discussed before, so I thought I'd bring it up anyway.
