You know, it's funny what comes from dreams... man goes to space, discrimination by race is nearly completely gone in America, and now, everything's going haywire with my life.

Neo's here? Who the hell is Neo?
Who are after me?

I hope that person can help... appearently I need to get out fast.

So he realized the Neo too...

I'm defintly keeping with my theory

And a new post each day isn't a bad deal ^^



The more I think about it the more it sounds like Slumberil. He's having trouble sleeping... Just seems to all fit together to me.

 		It took me a while to get this...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Since Neo is "the One" the key is ACTUALLY Neo. running this through the Vignere with Neo as the key yeilds:
"This world is not real. The universe you are in is not the one of truth. There's not much time, they're after you. Ashio, post in your blog that you believe. I will contact you from there. "
Which technically does not get us anywhere but...


Quack.

 		Slumberil!!!

Scared
Thanks, Sarah. I spent a while looking over it and gave up, smashing my head against my keyboard.
I'm scared. I don't know if Neo's just a random hacker toying with me or what, but for now, Neo, I believe. Neo, stop being so damn cryptic- who is after me? What is the other world?
Maybe I should use this Slumberil stuff I found on the internet. I think I'll stay asleep, thank you.

But...

Ah crap, curiosity's gotten hold of me. I want to see this other world, Neo. I believe.

Someone's at the door. Wonder who it is...?

Is that supposed to mean he's reading the forums?

Well looks like:

1. I have to go review the threads in the Slumberil forum

2. The mods may have to reopen it =D

 		Well, slumberil.com is offline now. Not sure when that happened, but I think I last checked it around 2 weeks ago, and it was still there. Now everything is gone, and there is nothing configured at their IP address (67.18.67.48 )

Frankly, it does not appear to me as if this dream theory business is the official MxO stuff - for various reasons. I guess we'll see... *shrug*

 		Actually, mabye it's a fan ARG made to kinda pick off where slumberil left off.

Kinda have a new story, but give players a sense of slumberil at the same time... or something

It's not a hard puzzle at all. It will take all of five minutes. The hard part is yet to come.

 		Dunno if this needs spoilers or not, but....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first part, I'm not sure, since I don't remember Matrix terminology.

The second part looks like a...you guessed it, a "matrix". At least I think.

The third part...I don't know..."David's city"...dunno.... Any connections that make anyone thing, maybe, Zion?


Not sure if there's more to figure out than that, besides the first part.

 		Crazy thought this is a warm up for the matrix online.(if its not out yet I realy don't know) I think the whole plot behind that is we made a truce and some people dont know about the matrix. Maybe Neo is still alive in that game.

 		I was pretty sure the game was supposed to continue the movie (just as the video game bridged that annoying gap between the first and second), in such a way that the Matrix "evolved." It takes place just after Neo dies, so what is done on a day to day basis determines the future of the Matrix (that the W. brother's story writes a new chapter every day, see?)
Of course, I could be absolutly wrong.
My first impression, upon seeing that the character was 14, is that this could be an ARG pm'd by a 14 year old.
:shrug:
of course, I wrote as a college student and an adult and I'm 17; I've written a blog for someone much older, too. So ya never know.

What are we meant to do with this puzzle? and can we contact Neo? or do we just get to see the world through Ashiro's eyes?
Time will tell.

EDIT: Update
Quote:
Coma
Fuck.
The agents got Ashio.

I don't know where he is or what's happening to him. He couldn't even choose sleep or wake.
It's been 21 hours. He's probably dead. We can't find him at all in the Matrix. Not a corpse, not a trace.

We're trying to lock his location. There has to be some way of communication...
You can ponder over my little code for a time. I just put that to keep your attention. The next time new info pops up, make sure you look over it carefully.

Remember, the agents are watching.


Hooray for being impatient!

EDIT2: To further the idea that it is not official: I am almost positive no one in the movie ever said fuck. Their choice word was "shit" (just watch with subtitles on and count the s-bombs away), and when "Jesus" was used, it was, I believe, always in an ironic sense, as such:
Cypher: Jesus, you scared me!
Where Neo is the only one in the room, thus Neo=Jesus.
Just goin off on Philosophy again.

 		Well, he says "next time info pops up" could be hinting at some kind of pop maybe.....just a crazy thought.

 		SOMEONE SAID SLUMBERIL?!?!
Slumberil's site is still up - the 3-day early entry for pre-orderers is the 19th, with the full game being launched to the general public on the 22nd.
I don't think this is an official 'sequel' or 'followup' or anything.
If it's a 14 year old PM or a 41 year old one, I say power to them!
But I'm all about the interactive games, so I'm looking forward to Still Life this month (next?)
