Anyone else unable to request MOPAIN documents or is it just me?
I notice they are listed under the compose message section however you cant type in the form because you don't have the request form identifier. That and it wont let you manually input anything.
NM they changed it. Needed to refresh.
It was a glitch
And there was me thinking mopain might be offering out documents !

003: Blue Dawn Not much chat about the new mission strand or the changes to trust/credits, I must admit these changes have drawn me back in and I've really enjoyed this first strand of mission 3...

I've finally finished Dark Earth thanks to all the tips and notes from you guys. Would never have done it otherwise and have to admit I'm REALLY struggling to follow the storyline now. I think this ARG would have really benefited from having stronger writing. It seems like there's very little structure and they're making things up on the fly.
I don't even understand
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
where the 'human sock puppet' phrase came from, or why it was in Spanish when everything else was in Czech.
My reporting for that round was madness stacked up on top of crazy.

LOL so much true.
At that particular point i had lost the story and plot so much so that i literally for the report put the most sarcastic reply i could probably think of. It was something like "They did something illegal which probably led to something more illegal" then something like "because they lie"
At that point i really didn't care or want to care.
I agree with what you say about the plot. Its got so many holes that I'm about to reach for the sewing kit. I think sadly the story has fallen second to the provenance. Which in all fairness is what the study is on so i guess it makes sense.
I also think the timescale was way way off. Initially was 6 months its nearing the end of that and it seems as if they have just cut a huge chunk of plot out to make the timeline fit and now are just trying to knot it all back together.
Now that's us back with peter. Sigh.....
I think they kinda had their arm twisted a while back when i asked about the structure of MOP - so i already know what "the narrows" are. I won't spoil for everyone else. Unless you guys already know too!
nodes, nodes everywhere.

Yes, no discussion on new mission.
Well, I decoded the message in the margins of the notebook page.
But I'm stuck on the strange symbols in the notebook.
Does a circle with an x through it mean elimination of entity/asset (unfortunately similar to the operator symbol i've unfortunately learned about) ?
The symbol that looks like a sunrise or sunset over a slanted horizon looks familiar, but I can't identify it.

Hmm finally caught up to the current mission... Damned Doll.
Have to say... when he mentioned my agent name... sounded a bit odd... not how I would pronounce it
Actually one really odd thing I found was... during the briefings & debriefings; the descriptions get a little bit too detailed to be taken from any recording. Like the Gode brothers (the engineers). How would cr0n know the exact thoughts of the brothers?

Anyone working on the new Blue Dawn mission part. I'm not very good at recognising people and I'm struggling to match the guy in the CCTV to one of the mugshots
Also need to go back through the cases to try to remember which bit he was in before.
EDIT: Got it, through a process of guessing on the mugshots
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mugshot ID fg83ct. He was impersonating Peter Blythe in the Dry Ice Police Interview

Very good, these were really annoying - found the mugshot easily enough but there is so long between missions that I totally forgot the police thing and stepping back through everything in episode 001 and 002 seemed like it would be a chore...

Hey guys, just signed up on the forum. I'd like to thank those of you who posted just what the hell I was supposed to be looking for during Dry Ice. I also chose to join now because I noticed something worrying in an MoP Orphan Education report. I've attached a screengrab of the record.

Yes, we should watch out for Eleanora Merlino (although we don't know how old she is at this time).

Yes, CraigRJ.
Although now there is a new task to work on for Cron - finding documents related to Dr John Baker.

Hi Kimmy.
Welcome to the world of Cr0n, and MoP.
I think this may be the info you are looking for - but it's been so long and I don't have notes
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
discovered that the text at the bottom of the memo (iVbyBeeNX9g) was a reference to an unlisted video on MoP's own YouTube channel
