 		Yeah but the whole Mexico Connection is there. Look at the sig in that Matrix post, it's definitely Mayan (or Aztec, or Inca, I never payed attention to the difference).

 		or the PM is interested in Mexico.

Think about what we pulled up on Lenny and Paxwell... these are just sloppy leftovers made by using old names on new ARGs (it could, in fact, be the third crown jewel to the odd Lenny/Syn.../Mexico? Argishness)

 		LOL So there's some AI out there that's keeping up on IM's with random people, researching in Mexico, creating a fake ARG death, AND playing Matrix Online. That's one talented AI.

Maybe the AI is creating fake ARGs in a bigger ARG that would also be fake but then lead to an even bigger fake ARG then goes on to a even bigger....Oh no I've gone cross eyed.

 		AFter some slumming on the Matrix Online I found a strange post of this Tannis user.

Quote:
Story: Riis' Tale

Posted: Jan 19, 2005 7:14 PM Reply


Greetings!

In the course of this thread, I will tell an eight part story on the redemption and fall of the character I will be playing in the Matrix Online. His name is Janus Riis Tannis, but most people just call him Riis.

The story's chapters are:

Chapter One: Trip the Mountain Fantastic
Chapter Two: Stylish Threads
Chapter Three: A Need for Vatic Hands
Chapter Four: Red in Tooth
Chapter Five: Integrated Claw
Chapter Six: The Philosopher's Stone
Chapter Seven: Hand and Eye
Chapter Eight: Rebirth and Denial

And will be told in multiple perspectives. A Dramatis Personae of the characters includes:

Malleus, a redpill working for Zion
Janus Riis Tannis, a historian and philosopher
Ana Salus, the sheriff of Fircrest
Gimel, an altered Agent of the Matrix

I hope you enjoy the tale as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I expect to have "Trip the Mountain Fantastic" up tonight or tomorrow. Watch this first post for edits giving updates on the story and its progress.

RbT


But after that no posts to add to it. Maybe it was the birthings of the ARg we're discovering. Other than that there are just several hundred normal Matrix player posts.

Alos look at the wording, "Most people just call him Riis." Like in the obituary. Does this seem kind of sloppy to anyone else?

 		well, its ok, its tempting to rip down the curtain, especially when tears are so readily visible...
but I'd reccomend taking it away. It is a game, remember. How much would a mystery movie suck if you knew the chapters to it and background (ok, awful example, but you get me).

 		Rip down the posts then? I'm game if we're sure this isn't a lead, which I'm pretty positive it isn't.

 		Well I he came back online and I messaged him again but I blew it again..ugh.

Quote:
hkdl0521: uhh Hi
Albrecht Wasser: I'm sorry, is this Sam? I'm having trouble with this computer.
hkdl0521: Yeah its sam
Albrecht Wasser: Ok, I have a message from the Dean....he wants to remind you that "he is not what he seems to be." I'm talking about what happened.
hkdl0521: hmm, refresh my memory for me...What happened?
Albrecht Wasser: What do you mean? As it is, I had to take down my site, somebody vandalized it. The IT people say it will be back up on the 14th...I'll be back from Mexico by then
hkdl0521: The 14th of March?
Albrecht Wasser: er, yeah...are you sure this is Sam? I got some kid earlier on this thing.
hkdl0521: Yup its me, So I'm guessing your going to Mexico because of Tannis?
Albrecht Wasser: Are you drunk again? I swear, if the Dean catches you drunk again, its going to be both of us on the block this time.
hkdl0521: Yeah sorry, I've had a bit to drink, my apologies
Albrecht Wasser: Seriously, Sam...I can't cover for you any more. The department has enough problems now
hkdl0521: btw..what was the address to your site again, so I have it on the 14th?
hkdl0521: I know, I'm going to stop drinking
Albrecht Wasser: OK, I don't get this. You must be another one of those kids.
hkdl0521: Nah, its me. Just a cloudy memory from to much to drink I think


after that he quit talking.

EDIT- I decided to try a different approach but it seemed to fail to...I guess we'll have to wait until the 14th of march?

Quote:
hkdl0521: Ok...Dr. Wasser, I'll come clean here, I'm not Sam but a person who wants to help about the problem in Mexico
Albrecht Wasser: I'm sorry, obviously I made a mistake in my shock over what happened and contacted you by accident. If you and your friends didn't hack my website, then I'm going to have to assume that this is just an innocent mistake. I have a plane to catch. Good day.

 		Well, I just had my first convo with Mr. Albrecht. Here it is.

Quote:
spaceboy1337: hey, this is sam.
Albrecht Wasser: I'm sorry. I'm not falling for that again. What did you do to my website?
spaceboy1337: Website?
spaceboy1337: Ok, I'll admit it. I'm not sam. I would like to help you out though.
Albrecht Wasser: Well, I'm heading out the door to Mexico, but you can help me out with something.
spaceboy1337: Alright.
spaceboy1337: What do you need?
Albrecht Wasser: somebody named hkdl0521 I think is a hacker or whatever you call them. He's been asking me strange questions. Is he one of your friends?
spaceboy1337: Yes. I'm acquainted with him. He's not a hacker though.
spaceboy1337: We're both part of a group of people who you could say are..curious about situations like yours.
Albrecht Wasser: Ok, I don't know what you are talking about, sir...if you are one. I've already told the State Department all they need to know. I'm afraid you'll have to talk to my secretary when I get back from Mexico on the 14th.
spaceboy1337: How can I contact your secretary?
spaceboy1337: And, yes, I am a sir.
Albrecht Wasser: I don't think that would be appropriate right now.
spaceboy1337: You say you'll be back from Mexico on March 14th?
Albrecht Wasser: I don't want to have to use this block button up here, but I'm in a hurry to catch my flight. You'll have to wait until I get back from Mexico.
spaceboy1337: Ok, I'll quit bothering you then.
spaceboy1337: But before I go, what is the address of your website?
Albrecht Wasser signed off at 10:12:14 PM.


Could this maybe be the first episode thingy of AWARE 2?
