Altador Plot

Main Article: Altador Plot

In the Altador Plot, the Foreman has yet to serve any particular purpose in the plot: the only time visiting him was necessary so far was to push the button next to him in order to open the celing. He has, however, said some interesting things during this plot:

• Before you turn on the lights in the Hall of Heroes, he says, "You know, maybe the gears have just gotten dirty or seized up, it's been so long since the button was used. If there were some way to grease the gears, the button might do something again."
• After you turn on the lights in the Hall of Heroes, he says, "Argh! Now it's light and I'll have to go back to mopping instead of guarding this button! Curse you!"
• Right after you join the Astronomy Club, he says, "Hm, so you joined an Astronomy Club, eh? That sounds like fun. I wish I had the time to join a club."
• After you form the Sleeper constellation, he says, "HEY! Stop leaving the lights on in the observatory! It's wasteful! I CAN'T STAND WASTEFULNESS!! RAAARGHH!!"

A very angry Janitor.

• After you form the Dreamer constellation, he says, "Those lights above each statue sure are pretty when they light up. I wonder what they mean?" He shakes his head. "Oh well, too much cleaning to do, no time to figure it out."
• After you form The First to Rise constellation, he says, "HEY! What's the big idea putting your grubby hands all over the windowsill?! I have to clean those things, you know! Were you raised in a barn?!"
• After you form the Farmer constellation, he says, "It sure is interesting watching those lights on the ceiling light up. What are you getting up to in that observatory, anyway?"
• After you form the Dancer constellation, he says, "My favorite underground dance club got closed down by that stinkin' Archivist! GRAARGH, THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!" He hurls his mop to the floor and stamps his feet.
• After you form the Wave constellation, he says, "Ah, you lit up the gems above Marak, the Wave. It's so soothing going down to the seaside and watching the ocean. Just the thing I need when I descend into uncontrollable rage."
• After you form the Gladiator constellation, he says, "Punch Club?! You went to Punch Club without me?! RAARGHHR! I LOVE PUNCH!! I WISH I HAD SOME RIGHT NOW!!!" He foams at the mouth and growls incoherently.
• After you form the Collector constellation, he says, "I've been reading this great book, '101 Ways to Calm an Infuriated Yurble.' It has a lot of good ideas for keeping my cool when I get upset about something. Although some of the ideas AREN'T SO GREAT!!" he shouts. "Whew, almost blew my top there."
• After you form the Thief constellation, he hurls a book of Lenny Conundrums to the floor and shouts, "RARRRGHH!! THESE CONUNDRUMS ARE TOO HARD!! I'LL CRUSH THAT LENNY IF I SEE HIM!!"
• After you form the Gatherer constellation, he says, "Wow, it's getting really bright in here with all these gems lighting up on the ceiling. Only two left! I wonder if anything special happens when all of them are lit up. Now that would be something to see."
• After you form the Protector constellation, the janitor shouts, "HEY!! Why are the lights off?! I was having fun looking at them, all shiny and stuff... RAAARGHH!! IT REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF!!"
• Halfway through The Hunter constellation, the janitor will say, "I saw you almost fall out of the observatory! That reminds me, I've been thinking about closing the ceiling again. Our heating costs have gone way up, now that we have all this extra air to keep warm. We keep our boilers in the basement, y'see. I keep having to go down there and adjust the settings. It's a real pain and MAKES ME ANGRY!" He coughs. "Sorry. Been taking some medication to keep me calm. Anyway, if you want to go down to the basement and take a look, just let me know."

Trivia

• When the LDP prizes were released and the winners revealed, it was said the Foreman's toenail polish was missing, stolen by thieves. The hunt is still on for the dastardly villains responsible, and those who have any information are to contact the Sakhmet Royal Guards immediately.
• In Random Contest #35, users were asked to draw images of the Foreman doing something that relaxed him.
• A Plushie has been made of him, and his Cudgel is available for use in the Battledome. Both of which were prizes from the Lost Desert Plot.
• On May 4, 2006, The Foreman (called the Yurble Janitor) was featured in Better Than You in the game Attack of the Slorgs with a score of 1500. The prize was a Pink Slorg Back Pack. Quoted saying...

  Argh! Disgusting Slorgs! They've ruined my herb garden for the last time! How am I supposed to enjoy the relaxing scent of lavender now? ARGH! *splat* *splat*

• On May 27, an Avatar showing the Foreman in his three forms (foreman, cook, and janitor) was released.
