So, it figures my computer will decide to have an EPIC MELTDOWN in the middle of my finals and take an entire two weeks worth of work with it. FUCK. MY. LIFE.

I'll continue to be somewhat absent this weekend while I desperately try to make up lost work. (Hello, longest weekend ever.) And since I'm certain something major is gonna go down here then, I'm gonna be cursing the hard drive gods entire time. But y'all might be interested in what I stayed up all night redoing, heheh.

BE BACK NEXT WEEK, COOL CATS. Hold the fort down for me. D:

Mike, As you probably know by now, I'm no longer working on I'm Sorry. It was important to me that you know that it was my fault. I never should have put you in that position and if I was playing the game, I probably would have done the exact same thing as you. They surprisingly weren't mad at me and said they wouldn't even contest my unemployment claim. I guess they anticipate stuff like this happening and I realized that in that place nobody is told more than he is good for, or gets to know much excpet that which is before his nose. Best of luck and I really hope you beat this thing. Eric

Potential Meta/OOG:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

If Eric was OOG, this should be pretty easy to confirm with minimal research if our "eric" was fired and will be filing an uncontested unemployment claim. I'll wait a day or two and check into this for posterity's sake. I doubt it's IG.. but at the same rate, I don't want to think that it's an honest OOG mail.. at this point, I'd prefer it to have been a failed gamejack attempt.

@ Wulf: I know. It was funny.

Rusty Cage by Johny Cash lyrics:

Quote:

You wired me awake and hit me with a hand of broken nails. You tied my lead and pulled my chain to watch my blood begin to boil. But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. Too cold to start a fire I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones. I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. When the forest burns along the road like God's eyes in my headlights. When the dogs are looking for their bones and it's raining icepicks on your steel shore. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run. I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my gonna break my rusty cage and run.

Sounds pretty heavy.

@Yo-L - it was all in fun, no need to be embarrassed. We're glad to have you aboard.

I just finished reading what Bricker sent you. Fascinating stuff really. Just when I thought this had gotten away from the conspiracy theories, Illuminati/Freemason/Secret Society involvement - this tidbit quite obviously brings it all back into play.

A conversation between Fastgate and Poughkeepsie - have pretty strong Illuminati/Freemason undertones..

The letter from Eric is definitely bizzare. I can't think of any reason to send something like that unless there is something hidden inside. Much like the book I recieved. Unfortunately, I had thought I brought it with me to South Dakota, but the other night when I went to get it - hrm. Apparently it's still back at home.

@Syn - The other odd thing about all of these new followers? If you lookit their profiles - most of them have been disabled by Twitter for "strange" actions. Have you noticed that with yours?

=edit=
Was just looking at that page on Brickers website, looking at the source. Not sure if it's been mentioned (trout me if it has ) but it gives

However, I wasn't able to find a page like that. I tried it with Brickers website, but no love.

Hey everybody I had to bow out for a bit because "real life" got real Eff'n $h!tty. But I am back and I have a few things that just showed up in the O'l mailbag.

First I received a message from "Eric". I truly HOPE he is/was IG because I feel real real bad if what he says is true. If it is OOG and you read this Eric I'm Sorry.

OK here is the other mailbag item:
This came from Bricker, no subject, but the message was...

Watch out for this one.

I Guess thats tommorrow? 05-08-'09
It's probably a new chapter of hints and clues?
And on another day, maybe the day the One arrives, we get HELL!

I always wanted to do this:

That was absolutely... justified. Thanks for that.
I downloaded the manuscript, haven't read more than a few lines though.

I guess I'll lurk around a bit more, until I have time to come with speculation that's actually based on something .

Dang, I don't remember if the Sandleford page had the music on there yesterday or not, but now it does. It's Rusty Cage by Johnny Cash, by the way.
The mp3 file was found with the '(2)'... doesn't seem to be a first file, though.

Also, new message in the sourcecode: 'on 589 you will find the door; on *** you will get so much more'

Ixnay on the italics. I guess I have italics on the brain, sorry. IMO, there are a lot of words there that are emphasized even though it doesn't make any sense for them to have been. However, looking through all of TGATT, Bricker was doing that all the way back in the beginning, so it is not a new thing that has just come up. The sheer number of italicized words argues against a hidden message IMO. I'm attributing it more to me just not liking this aspect of Bricker's style and less to it having any hidden meaning.

Bricker wrote:

You have a man's job ahead of you

That's a line from TGATT, BTW.

[Grady Martin]

here are the italicized bits of tgatt__13.doc concatenated into a single line - very poetic

*thirteen* there choose this shit [It must be so fascinating] [to see everyone's soul as clearly as looking through a window] under truly anything always always self Everything you really everything it need needed [this will be the last time] always someday be real

[classical]

I'm not totally convinced that the italized words mean anything... mostly because the writer uses them for both emphasized words as well as thought-speak. So it'd be hard to separate what's a clue and what isn't.
But uh, that might just be me!

I haven't been getting any mass amounts of new Twitter followers, really... the more recent ones were from a couple of violinists I have never heard of before (wut?)

But oh man, those pieces of manuscript were depressing. ; m; I forgot to mention--Bricker did write one thing in the email he sent me: 'stay strong'.

Not only he, but the Watchers and even kinda Rage on twitter, have been hinting that something huge is about to happen. And I don't know if there's much to do except sit back and watch it unfold at this point...
