While the group may be closed, you can still try to apply. Now I don't know who did it, but someone confirmed my membership. I'm now a member of the group... so I have a feeling that someone is seill accepting members.
try for yourself?
Same here! That makes me very happy, that I can still join the community.

Funny - I saw it completely opposite. I thought mPathy was saying that Gala & the other 7 had closed off the group to new members (this being the radical ideas) & mPathy thinks they will need all the help they can get & that the group should be open to new members 7 remain open to new members.
But, heh, maybe I got it all wrong
That's the way I interpreted it, as well. That mPathy wants it to remain open, and Gala wants to shut it.

Read above. One of my messages observing her away message speculates that she intends to take out the "8" not to mention her 'radical ideas' and Dessum's 'skills' mentioned in our conversations.
I observed that in her SN too, at first. Could be a clue. Could be nothing.

I couldn't agree more. This mPathy creature is beginning to look a bit suspicious in my eyes. Mind you I'm particularly paranoid about everyone. I'm going to do some major snooping, and see if there's anything i can't come up with on this particular character.
Thanks for posting all the chats guys!

Also, this is my first real ARG in-character chat. Very exciting! Also very scary--I'd hate to upset the character in real-time. XD

GSAs I Dont Know: Hello there!
GSAs I Dont Know: I got your email the other day.
mPathytest: oh good ^_^
GSAs I Dont Know: I heard that you hacked Gala Teah's LiveJournal.
mPathytest: you did! where do you hear that!
GSAs I Dont Know: Uh, well... XD
GSAs I Dont Know: Gala Teah made sure to post in on her LJ blog, of course... After she regained control of it.
mPathytest: well, the truth is, it needed to be done
mPathytest: gala needed a wakeup call
GSAs I Dont Know: Hm.
mPathytest: oh! i haven't seen that yet grrrrrrr
GSAs I Dont Know: What exactly was Gala doing?
mPathytest: thanks for the scoop. i'm sure i can top that if i have to get her attention again!
GSAs I Dont Know: Cool. mPathytest: gala tried to close down the community, keep it private
mPathytest: this is part of the No Panic Mongering initiative that some of the 8TSOC are attempting to enforce
mPathytest: but if we don't let people know the WORST case scenario, how can we hope to be prepared? right?
GSAs I Dont Know: I completely agree.
GSAs I Dont Know: I'm looking into preparing for it, because...
GSAs I Dont Know: It's completely, utterly horrific. Our country is so dependent on the oil...
GSAs I Dont Know: I'm trying to spread the word about it.
mPathytest: that's great! so do you have any media talents beside being a writer? (i'm guessing -- you seem like a writer)
mPathytest: we are going to need a lot of HIGHLY PERSUASIVE media to get the rest of the public, you know, clued in!
GSAs I Dont Know: Most of my ability to 'spread the word' is via more word-of-mouth stuff, like blogs. But I think that it'd be great if we could get a big news organization to cover this.
GSAs I Dont Know: Warn the entire country.
mPathytest: definitely, although you know we believe that it's people like us who are goign to do the best job covering it
mPathytest: we are the big news organization! we'll get the story right
GSAs I Dont Know:
GSAs I Dont Know: Would it be okay if I started giving people flyers with the WWO site on it?
mPathytest: Of course -- the more brains the merrier. also I hope you'll keep me in the loop if Gala starts any trouble.
GSAs I Dont Know: Okay.
GSAs I Dont Know: It seems that she closed up the WWO group that you opened, so...
mPathytest: okay -- i need to run . talk to you soon?
GSAs I Dont Know: Okay, sounds great! Nice talking to you!
mPathytest is away at 4:36:24 PM.
Edit: Had another conversation:
Quote:
GSAs I Dont Know: Did your internet crash? That sucks.
mPathytest: omg totally
mPathytest: it has been happening all night
GSAs I Dont Know: Really?
mPathytest: i wonder if someone is remote hacking in
GSAs I Dont Know: Ew.
mPathytest: freaking me out!
GSAs I Dont Know: That's not good.
GSAs I Dont Know: I wonder who would want to hack your system? Do you have any enemies? (And not Gala--don't think she'd have the knowledge to.)
mPathytest: i won't even get all paranoia on you and ask how you just happened to know my computer was crashing
GSAs I Dont Know: Haha.
GSAs I Dont Know: You logged out of AIM, then logged back in a few moments later.
GSAs I Dont Know: I just drew the most logical conclusion--don't mean to freak you out!
mPathytest signed off at 9:41:14 PM.
And an observation... Sorry if this is obvious, but... If you look at mPathy's username...
It looks like 'Empathy Test.' Is he just testing our ability to relate to him and the 8TSOC? It would explain why he's on AIM so much.

Ok I just made mPathytest angry...oops.
It's sort of unrelated to the game but according to the chat I just had mPathy watches Grey's Anatomy...and timewise Grey's is on at 9pm EST on ABC so maybe we can figure out where they're located.
Anyway maybe it's totally unrelated.
Quote:
coffeenews18 (9:37:53 PM): IM me next time you're on
mPathytest (9:38:38 PM): yes! but i'm watching grey's anatomy even world savers need some mind candy
coffeenews18 (9:38:52 PM): I love Grey's
coffeenews18 (9:39:04 PM): who's your fave charactermPathytest (9:39:21 PM): oh definitely sara ramirez's
mPathytest (9:39:24 PM): yours?
coffeenews18 (9:39:47 PM): I like Cristina....she's so snappy
mPathytest (9:40:17 PM): yes definitely a co-fave!
mPathytest (9:40:55 PM): i better go... someone I am avoiding won't take NO on IM for an answer
mPathytest (9:40:57 PM): sorry
mPathytest (9:41:03 PM): sometimes avoidance is the best policy
mPathytest (9:41:06 PM): *poof*
mPathytest signed off at 9:41:13 PM.
mPathytest is offline and will receive your IMs when signing back in.
Yeah so you've got to watch with IMing the characters they can totally snap at you....well I know illanaspeedster is nice so far.

So I have one idea for a WWO - this month's popular science magazine explains how to build a solar charger for handheld stuff into a handbag. For some reason, I want one. Now if we hooked that idea up with a brilliant design, we could be on to something useful and chic. I mean you can never have too many handbags.
thebruce: that wiki site is quite fancy and works great for me. Thanks for making it.
Something about handbags and me just don't go well together.. maybe it's that "package" I was born with.. Maybe.

Interesting:
Away message of mPatyhtest:
Quote:
mPathytest (3:38:58 PM): at the beep leave me a message... all about how you're ready to save the COUNTRY!
This is interesting because usually mPathytest posts about saving the WORLD - verses the country.
Trying to strike up a conversation about that - I'll keep you updated.

Good thing this thread was only seven pages, or I would have been left behind.
I might look new but I'm not. I recognize some people, but you know me as RockLobster. I'm excited, so lets jump the gun on this game. Who says we have to wait until the end of April to shake the peaces out of this tree.
Looking forward to working with you all.

WWO LJ
I'm watching and my LJ is califgirl. I got a response from gracesmominnh from an lj comment I made as to why I added her as a friend.
Me:

Hello Grace's mom in NH!
I'm Jess's mom in CA and noticed you have some of the same interests as I do, Doris the Explorer, Lost, some others... anyway, like to meet new friends and hear how things are on the east cost once in a while too I have family in PA, Conn & NY.
Her reply:

Hello!
I never been to Calif, but Id love to visit some day. I think Grace would love Disneyland and Seaworld.
Unfortunately, the closest I've ever got to there is Denver, and that trip didn't end well.
