[Meta] Not really IG updates and stuff.....

drizjr@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 00:11:43 +0000

First checking http://www.thewishcomic.com/ I noticed it was different from what I remember. The image was added on Jun 29th 2007 according to the directory, all the hosting site images are in there to so mabey he just moved the site.

Then on www.catchingthewish.com I went and checked the image dir. and was redirected to http://www.narrativemarketing.com/ . Surely not IG, I just hadn't seen it before.

Also I don't remember this page http://www.chasingthewish.net/comicpage1.html . (ohhhh a collectors item)

That's all, nothing terribly exciting.

CTW3?!?!

Aglaura site now says 'coming soon' AND
http://www.thewishcomic.com/index.html

Is titled coming soon.... has picture of one of the masks... named 'a wish forgotten' I've attached....

If a path there could be, would you desire it?

If a dream could be real, would you admire it?

If a deed needed doing, would you inspire it?

If the truth left you bare, would you acquire it?

[META] Now that CTW2 has ended...

First, I'd like to thank *all* the BTS people at CTW2: it couldn't have been easy managing all those websites and emails with so few of you.

My favorite character was Sarah.
I have a niece who's an artist, a cousin who's a librarian, and a friend who was abused as a child. I think that's why I was so drawn to her. She was so familiar to me.
Addie captured a blend of their temperaments exactly.
Kudos to Addlepated!

I have to admit that I have felt at a loss during parts of this game. Were there sites that we didn't find that would have filled in the gaps?

Will there be a post-game chat?

[ARCHIVE] Official(i guess) Archives of most of the sites

Jetahmo@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 14:15:01 +0000

Seeing Sylvia's link, the /endarchive/ thing, i did that on a few more sites.

And.

They worked!

Images will not work, probably, because of still being in /images/, not /endarchive/images/

And so on.

[UPDATE] Pretty much everything online has changed

Mountain Girl@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 17:48:25 +0000

So just about every site in the game has changed radically now. Many of them are simply gone, including Barren Soul , Devil in the Backyard , Wesson Studios , Mystai , the Mythosphere , and Marzent .

Some of the more interesting new sites are three-o-seven and the Edge of Sight . Sixth of Never is now a fan page for the art of poor Sarah Wyatt, which made me a bit teary-eyed. Mystery Town is still around, but Peter doesn't know anything about Aglaura.

I guess there isn't really much to tell. I haven't even been town-crawling since April or May. I went to the beach. I worked a crappy job. I met a girl...I think I met a girl. Am I hallucinating girls again? Damn.

Oh, and by the way:

There is a hidden email address on the new three-o-seven page. I wrote. What the heck.

[Website] Bruce Abbott's Blog - Found June 1

Ok, so Sarah mentions D's Friday blog, but I didn't remember reading anything about insomnia there on Dale's journal, so I tried changing the date in the URL
http://thewishcomic.com/journal/052606.html
and he has a link to Bruce's blog.

[EMAIL] Dale Please Read This

konamouse@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 13:52:28 +0000

Hi:

Please, even though you don't know me, I pray that you will take the
time to
read this message. I'm in trouble and have no one else to turn to. A
mutual
friend suggested you as somehow who might be able and willing to help
me.

You see, tonight I tried to kill myself. I didn't go through with it
obviously,
but I had the gun against my head and everything. There's way too much
to put
into a short email, especially when you don't even know me. But it
comes down
to the fact that I've lost everything of value to me and am in a
situation with
no apparent way out.

And yet, I still couldn't go through with it. Something inside me won't
let me
give up, and so I'm reaching out to others who may be able to help,
something
I've avoided all my life. I know deep in my heart that life is worth
living,
and that killing myself is not the answer.

Will you help me?

[EMAIL] Wes 9/28 - "I know what has to be done"

Shad0@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 09:13:45 +0000

Carol!

Great work!!
I knew there had to be something there, but the potential of the information contained in those files is beyond what I ever expected! Cyclotrons and the possibility that the energy they produce can create black holes! The theory that black holes can be used as portals to other dimensions! And that diagram outlining the 307 symbol around Aglaura! Did you notice it resembles a cyclotron? What was the plan, to produce enough energy with a cyclotron and/or all of that "Tesla-looking" stuff, to create a black hole and use that as a window to another world, another dimension, an alternate universe? It definitely fits into what I was thinking about the intent to duplicate the dimensional stuff from the 80s and the whole Ashram/20 yr cycle deal. But it's still scary as hell!
And then there's the potential blast radius stuff, maybe the plan was to blow all of Aglaura to smithereens if the creation of the portal failed. I'm not sure what the exact plan was, but I know our own strategy has got to be to stop this madness, and stop it soon, before irreversible damage is done.

What happens to Dale if we succeed? To Sarah? Where's our Sam?

I know what has to be done, but I'm feeling very apprehensive over the doing.

I find it ironic that I spent a couple of years as an assumed corpse trying to find some meaning in my life without any great success, and now I see where all meaning lies. It lies with those you love, those you call friends or family. It doesn't even matter if someone's wronged you, if the friendship isn't reciprocated in the way you had hoped...it's all in the intention, the spirit in which you yourself give. Helping, and hopefully saving my friends from the possibilities above is where I find myself whole and finally sated.

If you believe in any God, pray for us.
