here is some questions you guys might consider. When he told me about Isabella he said:
Quote:
After the incident at my research facility, where my wife was lost, she (Isabella) was the first person to contract the blasted virus; the disease was named after her, by me.
Someone ask about the incident, what it was and what caused it.
also he said:
Quote:
I did not realize until later, after studying the gate reaction for several more years in my private lab, that she and Jacob are one.
Someone ask him to explain the gate reaction. he said we aren't enlightened enough yet to understand why Jacob and Isabella are one but maybe he will tell us more about the gate reaction itself.

Palm when you get a chance can you ask Endrid about those images. I know he is suppose to post one more file, but since you are the only one who is suppose to be seeing that section could you ask him if those are of our world or his. Because if that is our world and this being 2008 I would hate to think how far that virus has already spread since that last picture was from 1986.
Just mailed an e-mail:
Thank you - I received the image. I noticed that the whole state of Georgia has been infected. Are these photos in my world - or yours? Since that was back in 1985, has this infection spread throughout the US already and we are all doomed? Over 20 years ago, it seems like we would all be dead by now. I will be waiting for the next photo.

Yes, great summary, Sylvia. I keep tempting myself to jump into this one fully, but I'm running into the same dilemma over getting into too many games at once.

Thanks very much, Sylvia. You're quite right-- I have too many big, complex ARGs going on. That helped a lot, you kind of 'simplifying' it for me.

My Question
Quote:
Your question phase has been extended by 1 hour (until 3 P.M. pacific time.)
After this time, any questions that are sent to me will not be answered until our next meeting, on the deadline.
Since I was unable to attend yesterday, I can still ask a question and it will be answered at our next meeting. Any suggestions on a question stemming from the answers to your questions?
I was thinking of asking "what progress was made, during the quarantine of Isabella, in stopping the symptoms or spread of the virus?"

Sylvia, we should carefully ask Endrid question and try to manipulate the questions to give us the answers we want. In the end Dr. Bottan WILL be happy, we have pleased him.
Agree 100%, but first natas has to gain his trust. And the only way I know to do that is to act like he is ready to help destroy Bowty. Remember this is what Bowty told natas:
Quote:
You will act as my special agent. You will find a way into the hearts of everyone at the Lazarus Union. You will hunt them down for me.
Now that we are all on the same page, from now on we will all decide what goes in the emails to Endrid from natas.

Bowty doesn't need to know about Stu, at this point anyways. I will give him basic info on LU and basic info on the image we got from /Main/ and any basic info I get from Endrid. Important stuff we will keep as our ace in the hole. Don't worry, It will be posted here before it is sent to him.

Also, I'm still not quite clear on what your theory is regarding Bowty, Isabella Bottan, Dr. Bottan, LU and Stu. Do you think that Isabella and Dr. Bottan are the same, and that she, LU and Stu are opposing whatever the hell Bowty's doing with his 'gate reaction'?
Please excuse all my questions and my n00bness
elite. your doing what we all did when we started playing args and still do when too many good args are going on at the same time. You are suffering from information overload.
to explain the characters the best I can.
Bowty is Dr. Bottan (who says he has crossed over into our (ingame) dimension)
Isabella Bottan was his daughter dead in his dimension of the game but inhabits the body of Hawk Jones in our dimension of the game. The same as Dr. Melianne Beckett inhabits my body. (not sure if that is reincarnate or just same person in a different body in a different dimension) [hope that made sense]
Alex / nextday is next. He is being analyzed right now. It will be interesting to see who inhabits his body.
LU (my lazy way of saying Lazarus Union) seems to be in another dimension apparently trying to save us from Bowty's wrath. (they may also be in our dimension, for Bowty says they have been chasing him) It seems that they have done battle with him before. So far we have had contact with one person from LU which is Endrid Mercy. We have had a mention of Telather Creed who is probably just another name that Endrid goes by to send info to Stuart Washburn.
Stu is in the same dimension (in game) that we and Hawk Jones are in. He was given the info about the virus so he could relay it to us. Since he is suppose to be in the field of Medical Science he would be better able to understand the virus and maybe run test on it.
The only one at the moment opposing Bowty is LU and Endrid. We don't really have a reason to oppose him yet. Other than him terrorizing us with the virus to get information to us. So as it stands at the moment, we are still basically neutral when it comes to choosing who we are going to support, Bowty or LU. You never know in the end it may be LU who are the bad guys and we may end up supporting Bowty. Or vice versa. Or we may find a way to undo what happened and everyone is happy. There is way too many IFs at this point to try and figure it out.
But this is something to think about. The virus uses lice as a mode of travel. Rid is the name of the medicine that is used to kill lice. Endrid's name broken down is End Rid. It could be that it is LU's mission to spread the virus and Bowty's mission to actually try and stop it. After all, he did say he quarantined his daughter to try and stop it but couldn't. So leaves a lot of room to doubt what LU might actually be up to.
I hope this all made sense. Today has been a long day I feel like I have been writing all day. feel free to reword this and add it to the wiki, if it helps, as speculation.

No apology necessary fencer, I didn't take it that way. I know you weren't being sarcastic. No worries mate.

You have pretty much revolutionized this ARG and made it something special. This time, the PMs are gonna have to do some quick thinking in order to keep up with you. I can't wait to see what Bowty does when he finds out about this...he's going to pop a blood vessel....
elite. Bowty doesn't read this forum he want know if natas posted that or not. Sure the PM will, but when the PM is being Bowty he is not suppose to know. Remember in Bowty's world This Is NOT A Game. On these forums This IS a Game. So as players we share info. As PMs they can't use info here for or against us, only to gauge how the game is progressing or to steer us back on course. To the characters (Bowty, Endrid, Stu, etc..) this forum doesn't exist in their world which is where we are when we are playing the game. When we are discussing the game we our in our world (the real world) and that is where this forum exist. That is why we can post and discuss anything we want here.
Oh.....my bad....I'm sorry, I'm still kind of new at this. Thanks for clarifying it.
But speaking of clarifying....

Ok unless he changes his mind, natas has asked me to send bowty a report on Mondays until he gets back from his job. Don't worry I will only report what Endrid gives directly in response to questions I ask him or things that are posted on the /Main/ page that we all have access to. Nothing will be reported that natas would not normally be able to see. And nothing will be reported until we all have agreed on what to report. So here goes the first email since natas hasn't contacted Endrid yet and want be able to while he's gone.
I'm a little confuzzled...when you say 'report', what are you planning to say to Bowty? Like, is it about Endrid and Stu?
