No more Naked Rabbit Studios

Jas0n@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 18:45:17 +0000

The group behind Naked Rabbit Studios has been in the process of forming a Limited Liability Company for some time now. The purpose is to allow the group to be able to develop high quality games for the players while being able to gain financial support through various types of funding.

One of the first steps was to analyze the current name and determine if it was one we felt comfortable approaching potential advertisors, sponsors, and other sources of funding with. Unfortunately we felt the word "Naked" could potentially limit our opportunities with these sources.

We have, in the past day or two, found a name which we feel is quite fitting for our endeavor.

Aporia Cross Media Entertainment or A.C.M.E.

Now to explain the name somewhat :)

The Cross Media Entertainment aspect of the name is associated to the fact that while the majority of our games should most likely be Alternate Reality Games, there will be some which use multiple media aspects to evolve while not asking the players to step into another reality, or suspend their beliefs.

In philosophy, an aporia is a philosophical puzzle or a seemingly insoluble impasse in an inquiry, often arising as a result of equally plausible yet inconsistent premises. It can also denote the state of being perplexed, or at a loss, at such a puzzle or impasse. The notion of an aporia is principally found in Greek Philosophy , but it also plays a role in Derrida's Derrida's philosophy .

Plato's early dialogues are often called his 'aporetic' dialogues because they typically end in aporia. In such a dialogue, Socrates questions his interlocutor about the nature or definition of a concept, for example virtue or courage. Socrates then, through elenctic testing, shows his interlocutor that his answer is unsatisfactory. After a number of such failed attempts, the intelocutor admits he is in aporia about the examined concept, that he does not know what it is. In Plato's Meno (84), Socrates describes the purgative effect of reducing someone to aporia: it shows someone who merely thought he knew something that he does not in fact know it and instills in him a desire to investigate it.

In Aristotle's Metaphysics aporia plays a role in his method of inquiry. In contrast to a rationalist inquiry that begins from a priori
principles, or an empiricist inquiry that begins from a tabula rasa , Aristotle begins his inquiry in the Metaphysics by surveying the various aporiai that exist, drawing in particular on what puzzled his predecessors. Aristotle claims that 'with a view to the science we are seeking (i.e. metaphysics ), it is necessary that we should first review the things about which we need, from the outset, to be puzzled' (994a). Book Beta of the /Metaphysics/ is a list of the aporiai that preoccupy the rest of the work.

Aporia is also a rhetorical device where the speaker expresses a doubt - often feigned - about his position or asks the audience rhetorically how he or she should proceed. It is also called /dubitatio/.

We feel as though the definition of this word is quite fitting for this genre, and we hope that the name change doesn't cause too much of a disturbance in the fans of Ny Takma.

Soon you will be able to find us at www.AporiaCME.com - in the meantime feel free to continue to keep up with us at www.nakedrabbitstudios.com

Thank you,

[SPEC] the end

lucius vitellius@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 20:46:52 +0000

Could it be as simple that takla is god and his queen has been lost after the destruction of Atlantis. With his blood was the sinner awashed free from guilt- as the king of Atlantis was sent away being slaughtered on a far away shore. This story being an Anathema to solve during the new Ascendancy of the king - seeking his wife in a new world.
I hope this to be for help- I do not know if this is the whole story but as such had i understood what was meant with the End.

[SPEC] Big Picture Speculation Thread

jwiv@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 00:56:07 +0000

This thread is the great big speculation take your wildest guess or theory that makes even a sliver of sense and share it with the class. It's time to start guessing what all of this means.

----

Hyexistenz had found this link once before when the first pictures of the Ark of the Covenant showed up. With the new focus on the church, it's probably relevant again.
http://www.greatdreams.com/covenant.htm

Short form - The ark of the covenant is an alien power source brought to Atlantis by the Anaki.

It leads into a bit of a unified theory. Depending on which theory (and there are a ton), the Nephilim are either an offshoot of the Anaki (or Annunaki), or part of it. In a more biblical view, the Nephilim were the spawn of the Grigori (a set of angels) and the daughters of men. The great flood was done to cleanse the earth of the taint that the Nephilim brought.

Now, after the flood, the story also goes that 10 percent of the spirits of the Nephilim were to remain on earth as demons to lead the human race astray.

The relevance of all of this is a bit questionable, but it does tie in Atlantis and the Ark and provides a guess as to the nature of Chaya and Bryan - spirits of the Nephilim.

[INTERACTION] Email from Bryan

jwiv@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:33:02 +0000

Just got this from Bryan. I had asked about Lanti and recommended some better Flea Markets in my area for next time he visits. Nothing really revealed here except that he doesn't seem injured or whatever.

Thank you for contacting me Zach, and I apologize for not having
gotten back in touch with you sooner as I was away from home trying
to gather a few items. To answer your question about the recording
that Henry had sent me, I have been studying various theoretical
languages for quite some time. The atlantean language that I
referred to is one of the many that I enjoy, though other linguists
refer to it by various other monikers. I just love languages that
people aren't vastly familiar with.

Oh and yes the collector's cabinet was one of the stores I had
stopped at on my trip through Gainesville. Thank you for your many
recommendations as well. I will look forward to stopping through
the stores sometime in the future.

Just wanting to make sure this damned thing works. I hope that I don't catch another fricken virus from this proxy.

People, I did not murder Hank! I was pissed as hell at him, but it wasn't me. I don't know which one of you sent the cops after me... I didn't do it!

ok so hopefully they can't find us here, if you feel compromised toward the police, please swap hard-drives with another that does not direct them toward this forum. We have to help Kendra.
